A Perfect InjusticeGenocide and Theft of Armenian Wealth

A Perfect InjusticeGenocide and Theft of Armenian Wealth

Except for a short period after the end of the First World War and the ensuing armistice Turkey has consistently denied that it ever employed a policy of intentional destruction of Armenians. Th e 1913-1914 census put the number of Armenians living in Turkey at close to two million. Today only a few thousand Armenians remain in the city Istanbul and none elsewhere in Turkey. Armenian sites in Turkey including churches have been neglected desecrated looted destroyed or requisitioned for other uses while Armenian place names have been erased or changed.As with the Jewish Holocaust Armenian properties that were seized or stolen have not been restored. Sixty and ninety years after these terrible events Jewish and Armenian victims and their heirs continue to struggle to get their properties back. Th ere has been only partial restitution in the Jewish case and virtually no restitution at all in the Armenian case.No adequate reparation for the deeds committed against the Armenians can ever be made. But resolving claims with respect to stolen property is a symbolic gesture toward victims and their heirs. Th is is unfinished business for Jewish heirs and survivor of the Holocaust as it is for Armenians. A Perfect Injustice is an essential contribution to understanding why the issue of stolen Armenian wealth remains unresolved after all these years--a topic addressed for the fi rst time in this volume.

Feudal Society

Feudal Society

Marc Bloch said that his goal in writing Feudal Society was to go beyond the technical study a medievalist would typically write and ‘dismantle a social structure.’ In this outstanding and monumental work which has introduced generations of students and historians to the feudal period Bloch treats feudalism as living breathing force in Western Europe from the ninth to the thirteenth century. At its heart lies a magisterial account of relations of lord and vassal and the origins of the nature of the fief brought to life through compelling accounts of the nobility knighthood and chivalry family relations political and legal institutions and the church. For Bloch history was a process of constant movement and evolution and he describes throughout the slow process by which feudal societies turned into what would become nation states. A tour de force of historical writing Feudal Society is essential reading for anyone interested in both Western Europe’s past and present. With a new foreword by Geoffrey Koziol

The Basel II RatingEnsuring Access to Finance for Your Business

The Basel II RatingEnsuring Access to Finance for Your Business

If you are seeking access to equity or finance from a bank or bank-related institution your company will need a Basel II rating. How does the Basel II Rating differ from previous credit ratings? What specific information will your bankers require for the rating? What can you do to ensure the most favourable outcome? Unfortunately there is no mathematical or scientific solution to these questions. Approval of your request will largely depend on your ability to provide not simply the relevant information but a tactically effective line of argument. If you under-represent your project even if it does not fail the rating test outright it is likely to get it assigned to a grade below its merit. The penalty is reflected in the conditions of the desired facility especially the rate of interest. Marc B. Lambrecht's The Basel II Rating shows you what information to assemble and exactly how to make your case in order to maximise your rating results. His book will help you argue the success potential of your business; accurately define the financial basis on which that success can be realised; and present your credentials convincingly. Follow the framework use the advice and the techniques he suggests and you will make a convincing case for your business and the value and risk of the project for which you are seeking finance. This book can help you ensure continued access to business finance and equity on the best possible commercial terms.

The Person in the Sight of Sociology

The Person in the Sight of Sociology

Sociology is about society but what about people? The person in the sight of sociology is all too often a matchstick being. In this original and stimulating book the person is characterized by what is inherent in a social being and the result is a rich narrative the story of the person told through events in life. The author holds that for sociological purposes the person must be seen as perfect: perfectible perfecting and perfect. He outlines the ‘trialectical’ nature of such a theory offers a test of it in the making of madness and claims that such a change in vision is appropriate for the sociologist’s critical engagement in the world. It may be claimed that Colin Fletcher has created a new realm of theorizing and a piece of literature for sociology. And perhaps as important the reader may catch the rare experience of being spoken with as a person by another person.

Careers and Talent ManagementA Critical Perspective

Careers and Talent ManagementA Critical Perspective

Careers and Talent Management challenges and deconstructs the notion of the "perfect career" in order to provide new perspectives on talent management and career creation. It argues that the skills that organizations typically look for as indicative of superstar performance are not necessarily those that lead to competitive advantage. Attracting and retaining talent is both challenging and complex for organizations since it is not known especially at the top level which employee skills will be most valuable in helping the organization be competitive globally. In this thoughtful book Reis bucks the trend on emerging super talents critically analyzing topics related to the field of general management careers and talent management – such as leadership entrepreneurship gender and diversity – to demonstrate the range of employee skills that can benefit an organization globally. Chapter focuses include global entrepreneurship remote business practices and social responsibility.These new perspectives on talent management will help students of human resource management think critically about the implications of pursuing or encouraging a "perfect" career trajectory.

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus

Ludwig Wittgenstein is one of the greatest and most fascinating philosophers of all time. His Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus composed in a series of remarkable numbered propositions was the only book he published in his lifetime. He tackles nothing less than the question of whether there is such a thing as a logically perfect language and armed with it what we can say about the nature of the world itself. Pushing the limits of language logic and philosophy the Tractatus is a brilliant cryptic and hypnotic tour de force exerting a major impact on twentieth-century philosophy and stirring the imagination today. With a new foreword by Ray Monk.
