An Introduction to Trade and Commodity Finance

With examples from the trade in metals

By: Gideon de Jong

What do steel, coffee and gasoline have in common? They are commodities which are globally consumed on a daily basis. Before being consumed, the materials make their way through their value chains. Traders play a key role in these chains. They match supply and demand by purchasing and selling commodities. As the commodity markets involve trillions of dollars, this leads to a substantial financing need, which has led to the emergence of the field of Trade & Commodity Finance. This book provides an accessible and comprehensive introduction to the fascinating topic of Trade & Commodity Finance. This book will be of interest both to people with a general interest in the field and to trade and finance professionals. The book contains five sections: commodities and trade; traders; industry specifics; banks; and financial analysis. Examples and illustrations from the metals industry clarify the arguments made in the text. This makes it a recommended read for every person who would like to learn more about Trade & Commodity Finance.

John Wesley - Acht mal Liebe

Zitate, Gedanken, Interpretationen auf Deutsch und Englisch

By: Wolfgang Köhler,Martin Wahl,Klaus Arnold,Gideon de Jong,Hans-Günter Mohn,Andreas Hesse,Mary Schaar,Wolfgang Schwarzfischer

Die Arbeitsgemeinschaft Christlicher Kirchen in Deutschland hat das Jahr 2021 / 2022 zum - Jahr der Ökumene - ausgerufen. Zahlreiche christliche Gemeinschaften, Kirchen und Vereinigungen beteiligen sich hieran mit eigenen Beiträgen, ökumenischen Gottesdiensten und verschiedenen Projekten. Vor diesem Hintergrund entstand auch dieses Buch zu John Wesley ́Acht mal Liebe ́ Zitate, Gedanken und Interpretationen. John Wesley (1703-1791) war anglikanischer Pastor, Begründer der methodistischen Bewegung, Evangelist, Theologe, Sozialreformer und überzeugter Ökumeniker. Von Beginn an setzte er sich sozial- diakonisch ein. Kämpfte für Reformen u.a. im Gefängniswesen und die Abschaffung der Sklaverei. Wesley richtete Volksbibliotheken ein und sammelte Geld zur Errichtung einer Poliklinik ein und eröffnete Apotheken für Arme. In zahlreichen Schriften und Predigten Wesleys ist die Liebe zentrales Element und Botschaft zugleich. In Zeiten wie diesen lohnt es besonders das Wort der Liebe weiterzugeben. Die Texte befinden sich zweisprachig, auf Deutsch und Englisch in diesem Buch.

Foxbats Over Dimona

The Soviets' Nuclear Gamble in the Six-Day War

By: Isabella Ginor,Gideon Remez

Isabella Ginor and Gideon Remez’s groundbreaking history of the Six-Day War in 1967 radically changes our understanding of that conflict, casting it as a crucial arena of Cold War intrigue that has shaped the Middle East to this day. The authors, award-winning Israeli journalists and historians, have investigated newly available documents and testimonies from the former Soviet Union, cross-checked them against Israeli and Western sources, and arrived at fresh and startling conclusions. Contrary to previous interpretations, Ginor and Remez’s book shows that the Six-Day War was the result of a joint Soviet-Arab gambit to provoke Israel into a preemptive attack. The authors reveal how the Soviets received a secret Israeli message indicating that Israel, despite its official ambiguity, was about to acquire nuclear weapons. Determined to destroy Israel’s nuclear program before it could produce an atomic bomb, the Soviets then began preparing for war--well before Moscow accused Israel of offensive intent, the overt trigger of the crisis. Ginor and Remez’s startling account details how the Soviet-Arab onslaught was to be unleashed once Israel had been drawn into action and was branded as the aggressor. The Soviets had submarine-based nuclear missiles poised for use against Israel in case it already possessed and tried to use an atomic device, and the USSR prepared and actually began a marine landing on Israel’s shores backed by strategic bombers and fighter squadrons. They sent their most advanced, still-secret aircraft, the MiG-25 Foxbat, on provocative sorties over Israel’s Dimona nuclear complex to prepare the planned attack on it, and to scare Israel into making the first strike. It was only the unpredicted devastation of Israel’s response that narrowly thwarted the Soviet design.

The Smile of the Human Bomb

New Perspectives on Suicide Terrorism

The Smile of the Human Bomb

New Perspectives on Suicide Terrorism

By: Gideon Aran

In 2017, nearly six thousand people were killed in suicide attacks across the world. In The Smile of the Human Bomb, Gideon Aran dissects the moral logic of the suicide terrorism that led to those deaths. The book is a firsthand examination of the bomb site at the moment of the explosion, during the first few minutes after the explosion, and in the last moments before the explosion. Aran uncovers the suicide bomber’s final preparations before embarking on the suicide mission: the border crossing, the journey toward the designated target, penetration into the site, and the behavior of both sides within it. The book sheds light on the truth of the human bomb. Aran’s gritty and often disturbing account is built on a foundation of participant observation with squads of pious Jewish volunteers who gather the scorched fragments of the dead after terrorist attacks; newly revealed documents, including interrogation protocols; interviews with Palestinian armed resistance members and retired Israeli counterterrorism agents; observations of failed suicide terrorists in jail; and conversations with the acquaintances of human bombs. The Smile of the Human Bomb provides new insights on the Middle East conflict, political violence, radicalism, victimhood, ritual, and death and unveils a suicide terrorism scene far different from what is conventionally pictured. In the end, Aran discovers, the suicide terrorist is an unremarkable figure, and the circumstances of his or her recruitment and operation are prosaic and often accidental. The smiling human bomb is neither larger than life nor a monster, but an actor on a human scale. And suicide terrorism is a drama in which clichés and chance events play their role.

Handbook of Production Management Methods

By: Gideon Halevi

This unique book provides a guide to the selection of appropriate production and manufacturing methods for postgraduate and professional manufacturing engineers. It starts by helping the reader to identify the required objectives of industrial management for their particular situation. Having identified the objectives an analytical assessment of the available production and management methods is made. The analytical system presents an objective method of production selection. For example, this practical book will help the reader to decide whether or not a local Just-in-Time process is needed or a full chain JIT method is needed. Alternatively the problem may be deciding between set-up time reduction or changeover time reduction. Should TQM be ceded to PCIs? This book covers nearly all methods of production and manufacturing and will prove the most comprehensive guide to choosing and using these methods. - Only book of its kind available - Widest coverage of methods available - Analytical approach to decision making
