Risk Analysis: Assessing Uncertainties Beyond Expected Values and Probabilities By Terje Aven
2008 | 195 Pages | ISBN: 0470517360 | PDF | 2 MB
I am still recovering.This is a book written for dummies so they realize that they are dummies. I looked for the "for dummies" version of risk analysis,so I can pretend I "understand"risk analysis while talking about the subject and yet could not find anything out there. As matter of fact I had in my library several other books about risk and yet none of them came close to explaining the:.- What is risk analysis.- What is risk?.- Proess of analysis: -Planning -assessing -risk treatmentThese are but the first 5 chapters of the 13 chapter book. The book is well researched, it relates to the research literature in the field of risk. It is divided into 2 parts; The first part is theory and methods, the second part is examples of applications. The book is well written, however it was not written for what I needed it for. I needed to have a simple methodology to map to ITIL V3 risk management practices or Sigma Six risk assessments; I did get there but it was very hard, I had to use 100% of my already depleted brain, it nearly killed me, thanks to the author I knew how to do a "Consequence analysis" and come up with a "Risk picture" and stop reading the parts heavy with Calculus and stuff.So, in conclusion; If you have a "young" brain and auditors are blubbering you about "if this happens than ...." scenarios. I suggest you use this book to gain the upper hand.Best Fishes.
Barry Down, John Smyth, Janean Robinson, "Rethinking School-to-Work Transitions in Australia: Young People Have Something to Say"
English | 2018 | pages: 181 | ISBN: 3319722689 | PDF | 1,9 mb
This book draws on the stories of thirty-two young Australians to identify the barriers and obstacles they face in 'getting a job' in precarious times and from their vantage point. It maps the kinds of educational policies and practices that need to be created and more widely sustained to assist their career aspirations and life chances.It is timely in terms of contributing to an alternative set of possibilities based on a commitment to the principles and values of social justice, respect, trust, care, democracy and citizenship. In constructing an alternative vision and practice for education and training it advocates the right of all young people to have a say in these broader public debates. In pursuing this agenda, it deliberately sets out to listen to what young people themselves have to say with a view to interrupting the way things are. In other words, the book seeks to identify and explain the dreams, desires and aspirations of young people with a view to creating a new imaginary and socially just future.
Rethinking Markets in Modern India: Embedded Exchange and Contested Jurisdiction by Ajay Gandhi, Barbara Harriss-White, Douglas E. Haynes, Sebastian Schwecke
2020 | ISBN: 1108486789 | English | 300 pages | PDF | 8 MB
To people operating in India's economy, actually existing markets are remarkably different from how planners and academics conceive them. From the outside, they appear as demarcated arenas of exchange bound by state-imposed rules. As historical and social realities, however, markets are dynamic, adaptative, and ambiguous spaces. This book delves into this intricate context, exploring Indian markets through the competition and collaboration of those who frame and participate in markets. Anchored in vivid case studies - from colonial property and advertising milieus to today's bazaar and criminal economies - this volume underlines the friction and interdependence between commerce, society, and state. Contributors from history, anthropology, political economy, and development studies synthesize existing scholarly approaches, add new perspectives on Indian capitalism's evolution, and reveal the transactional specificities that underlie the real-world functioning of markets.
R. R. Reno, "Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1621573494 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 0.7 mb
America's two greatest strengths-her liberal democratic culture and her free-market economy-have made her a global superpower. But left unchecked, these two strengths can become great cultural weaknesses, sowing selfishness, recklessness, and apathy. In Resurrecting the Idea of a Christian Society, theologian R. R. Reno argues that America needs a renewal of Christian ideals-ideals that encourage self-sacrifice, responsibility, and solidarity. Drawing on T.S. Eliot's 1940 essay "The Idea of a Christian Society," Reno shows how Christianity encourages "an abiding ambition for higher things" and a "moral vision" that can strengthen communities and transform America into a truly great nation.
T.M. Krishna, "Reshaping Art"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 9386021978 | 128 pages | EPUB | 0,1 MB
In Reshaping Art, T. M. Krishna examines what art is and how we can harness its power to make ourselves and our communities open and sensitive. Well known for his attempts to break Karnatik music out of its high-caste confines, the author takes us through a journey of understanding what art means to different groups of people and the ways in which we all create and enjoy it. He then asks important questions about how art is made, performed and disseminated, and addresses crucial issues of caste, class and gender within society while exploring the contours of democracy, culture and learning.
Adje van de Sande, "Research for Social Justice: A Community-Based Participatory Approach, Second Edition"
English | ISBN: 1552668789 | 2017 | 250 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Most social research texts are written from an empiricist/positivist perspective, emphasizing the scientific method and the value of objectivity in research. While acknowledging that certain aspects of the scientific method should be preserved, Adje van de Sande and Karen Schwartz argue that social research should not and cannot be value-free. Researchers committed to social justice and social change need to support that commitment.
