Corporate Finance, by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, Jordan, was written for the corporate finance course at the MBA level and the intermediate course in many undergraduate programs. The text emphasizes the modern fundamentals of the theory of finance while providing contemporary examples to make the theory come to life. The authors aim to present corporate finance as the working of a small number of integrated and powerful intuitions rather than a collection of unrelated topics. They develop the central concepts of modern finance: arbitrage, net present value, efficient markets, agency theory, options, and the trade-off between risk and return, and use them to explain corporate finance with a balance of theory and application.

The Oxford Handbook of Women and International Law interrogates women's interrelationship with international law's institutions, norms, and theoretical approaches. Women have made tremendous strides in international law by contributing to its development and application; wielding power as representatives and leaders in international organizations; and serving as judges, legal experts, and leaders of non-governmental organizations pushing the law in new directions. Yet, as this Handbook demonstrates, full equality remains elusive while new threats emerge. Climate change, the rise in nationalism, and anti-gender ideology pose serious challenges to multilateral institutions and norms that protect and empower women. Featuring diverse and interdisciplinary contributions from across the globe by leading scholars, international judges, and legal practitioners, this Handbook explores the ways in which international law might meet its unmet potential for achieving gender equality for women and

Educational Theories and Techniques for Genetic Counselors provides an overview of central aspects of effective education by and for genetic counselors, beginning with insights from the general and genetic counseling education literature and moving through a survey of the structure and function of genetic counselor education in North America. In the opening two sections, Bonnie Baty and Claire Davis take a critical look at genetic counseling graduate programs, the contextual factors that shape the way education is offered, recruitment, admissions, and student support practices, the instructional framework and its components and teaching techniques, as well as intentional efforts to integrate these, the evaluative procedures for student learning, and processes of ongoing program evolution. The third section covers the continuous and increasingly self-directed learning that genetic counselors employ throughout their careers to sustain and expand their competence. The book concludes by co

Linear Algebra is an important basic theory course in the teaching plan of higher engineering schools. It is a mathematical tool widely used in all fields of natural science and engineering technology. With the rapid development of modern science and technology and the extensive application of computer, the importance of Linear Algebra in theory and application is more prominent. This puts forward higher request to the Linear Algebra teaching content from the depth and the breadth.Linear Algebra is given priority to in order to discuss the finite dimensional linear space theory courses, with strong abstractness and logical. Since the application of Linear Algebra has gone deep into the fields of natural science, social science, engineering technology, economy, management and so on. Therefore, of course, Linear Algebra should be combined with simple discretization methods, it should be co

Process-based therapy (PBT) is an approach to psychological assessment and treatment centered on processes of change in particular people in their unique context. A flexible framework, the PBT model allows for any practitioner of evidence-based therapy like CBT or ACT to use PBT to conceptualize clients and inform treatment planning and decisions, while retaining their own orientation's language and techniques. A Process-Based Approach to Psychotherapy: Principles for Practice provides a practical foundation for clinicians, including graduate students, who are interested in learning how to deliver PBT. The book teaches readers how to, within a process-based model, develop a functional case conceptualization, assess client progress throughout treatment, and plan and adjust treatment in response to how a client is doing. Avoiding in-depth discussion of theoretical concepts, the authors instead provide practical principles and actionable steps for doing PBT, including case examples and ex

道義現實主義是由清華大學閻學通教授提出的國際關係理論，將中國古代政治思想與現代國際關係理論相結合，把關注點放在決策者層面，以大國的“領導”(包括國際領導、政治領導、領導力等)為核心變量解釋國際格局、國際規範和國際秩序的變化，挑戰了傳統現實主義對物質力量的過度強調。該理論最早形成於2011年出版的英文著作Ancient Chinese Thought, Modern Chinese Power(《古代中國思想與當代中國力量》)，後在2015年出版的《世界權力的轉移：政治領導與戰略競爭》中得到全面闡述。2019年，閻學通綜合此前十餘年的研究，在其英文著作Leadership and the Rise of Great Powers(《大國領導力》，2020年出版中文版)中進一步對道義現實主義進行了理論化闡釋，並將該理論應用於預測其後十年中國崛起和美國相對衰落對國際政治的影響。本書針對《大國領導力》出版後中外國際關係理論界有關道義現實主義的討論，專門邀請了八位國內外學者，圍繞該理論的核心概念之一“國際領導”展開批判性討論，從多個角度分析了這一理論的框架及其存在的局限和麵臨的挑戰，旨在驗證其作為國際關係理論的有效性和解釋力。通過參與討論學者的交鋒，本書不僅為國際關係理論研究提供了本體論、認識論和方法論的新洞見，也在全球權力轉移特別是中美博弈背景下，為國際關係理論研究注入了新的活力。

"The 'Magnificat' is set in a lively and youthful spirit, with dance-like rhythms and an outgoing spirit, reflecting the young Virgin Mary's prophesy of hope. The 'Nunc dimittis, ' in contrast, reflects the elderly Simeon seeing his prophesies, made earlier in his life, come to pass. The music itself also looks back to what has gone before, setting the text to elements of fauxbourdon and polyphony, building a form of circle around the text 'the light of all people'. Magnificat c. 4'30''Nunc dimittis c. 3'40''"

A compelling new portrait of one of the ancient world滻 most famous and consequential figures By any measure, Julius Caesar is one of the most significant and well-known figures in ancient Roman history. Self-identified as a "popular" politician, he advocated for effective government to better the lives of the average Roman; however, he believed this government could not be based upon the existing democracy, which he regarded as corrupt and inefficient. It could only be through his personal management and the massive organization he built to overthrow the government that he could ensure the prosperity of all Romans. Through a careful analysis of the ancient sources, including Caesar's own writings, David Potter offers us a stunning and original portrait of the general and statesman's character and methods. He shows Caesar as a highly organized manager with an extraordinary ability to adjust to circumstances while maintaining a steady equivalent of an ancient media presence that attracte

This book systematically explores carbon nitride-based semiconductors for photocatalytic hydrogen production through water splitting. Beginning with fundamental concepts of hydrogen generation, it details modifications to pure g-C3N4 and interfacial engineering designs before examining various composite materials: CeO2/g-C3N4 nanocomposites demonstrate enhanced charge separation, while CoO nanoparticle integration improves visible-light absorption. The text analyzes N-doped ZnO/g-C3N4 heterojunctions, MnO2-loaded architectures for oxidative stability, and oxygen-deficient LaVO4/g-C3N4 systems. Advanced configurations include Co-C3N4/BiPO4 dual-cocatalysts, atomically dispersed Co-N4 sites in 2D frameworks, and B/P-doped variants for bandgap modulation, concluding with molten-salt synthesized Fe@C3N4 nanosheets. Each system's synthesis, characterization, mechanistic pathways, and hydrogen evolution performance are rigorously evaluated, culminating in forward-looking perspectives for nex

Why should there be an intermediary between god and humanity? Brunner's thorough and provocative analysis establishes Jesus Christ as the Mediator between God and Man, analysing the necessity and challenge of this divine mediator. Central to the Christian faith and Brunner's reputation as a great modern theologian, his vigorous theological discussion considers the Jesus Christ who confronts humanity with the knowledge that they must act. Re-examining the deity and humanity of Christ, the God-Man, and deepening the readers' understanding of the Incarnation and the Atonement, Brunner rescues these essential theological concepts from misunderstanding. Drawing his argument to its conclusion, Brunner contends that only in Jesus Christ can we know ourselves as we really are; only in Jesus Christ can God be known as he really is.
