EVERYDAY LANGUAGE & EVERYDAY LIFE

About a year ago, whilst looking rather casually through the preface to an earlier book, A Measured Life (1994), I came upon this sentence: ‘You could write a book about the English character, warts and all, simply by putting together in thematic groups the traditional cant expressions that lubricate our daily life’.

Data Analysis with Open Source Tools

Businesses sit on data, and every second that passes, they generate some more. Surely, there must be a way to make use of all this stuff. But how, exactly—that’s far from clear. The task is difficult because it is so vague: there is no specific problem that needs to be solved. There is no specific question that needs to be answered. All you know is the overall purpose: improve the busin…

Financial Stability Paper Series

This paper surveys different definitions of financial stability advanced by two separate schools of thought: i) those who prefer to define financial instability (as the antithesis of financial stability); and ii) those who attempt to define financial stability, rather than its absence. It is shown that definitions vary widely, depending on the working assumptions adopted by different write…

Data Analysis Using SQL and Excel

Data. Analysis. Presentation. These three key capabilities are needed for effectively transforming data into information. And yet, these three topics are rarely treated together. Other books focus on one or the other — on the details of relational databases, or on applying statistics to business problems, or on using Excel. This book approaches the challenges of data analysis from a more holi…

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM

A Management Information System is an integrated user-machine system, for providing information, to support the operations, management, analysis & decision-making functions in an organization

DATA + DESIGN

The book’s chapters follow pretty closely the actual set of steps that need to be accomplished before data can be visualized, from the design of the survey to the collection of the data to ultimately its visualization. Really pretty simple. So if you’re fairly new to the game, it is probably going to make sense for you to start at the beginning and read the whole way through the book. Likew…

THE FINANCE OF FOREIGN TRADE

Tins is an unconventional book practical rather than theoretical. The methods of financing foreign trade described in it may not follow exactly the ordinary accepted rules laid down by writers on economics, but they are those to which the importer and exporter have to conform when seeking financial facilities from bankers. " If you would only tell us how you do the business, and what it…

There are forms of transportation and corporate rights, responsibilities and duties of carriers, which do not come within the purview of the national system of regulation. The Act to Regulate Commerce was intended by Congress to afford an effecti…

Communication: Patterns and Incidents

According to its title this book is about communication. The title will appear appropriate or inappropriate, I suppose, to the extent that the reader's visualization of "communication" coincides with the author's. Perhaps it would be helpful to indicate what this book is not about. It does not, for example, deal with much of the subject matter usually developed in texts of public, conversa…

Cyber security best practices

The incidence and cost of cyber crime is escalating, and no business is immune. Attacks are more sophisticated and more successful, because hackers collaborate and share tools and techniques. So we must collaborate, too. In 2014, we sponsored a series of chief information security officer (CISO) roundtables, where participants shared experiences and enterprise security best practices. Through t…

Fact and Value in Emotion

David Hume famously claimed that one cannot derive an ‘ought’ from an ‘is,’ or in less poetic terms, one cannot derive a value from a fact. Hume was arguing that the imperatives given to our preferences, goals and actions are derived from emotion and not from logical reasoning. Emotion, therefore, had a prominent place in Hu -me’s thinking.
