Against the Grain

How to Succeed in Business by Peddling Heresy

By: Joel M. Stern

The unique story of a business heretic and his concept of Economic Value Added (EVA) In Against the Grain, Joel Stern shares for the first time, not only the story of how EVA swept the corporate world, but the story behind the story-the intellectual underpinnings of EVA, how he and his colleagues at Stern Stewart & Co. promoted the concept, won its initial acceptance by major corporations, and later turned the concept into a revolution. He has for good reason been called a one-man catalyst for change. In an engaging memoir, he has given us not only an account of his business strategy, but also provided fascinating anecdotes and vignettes of encounters with leading businessmen on four continents. Joel M. Stern (New York, NY) has been the Managing Partner of Stern Stewart & Co. since its founding in 1982 and was coauthor of The EVA Challenge (Wiley: 0-471-40555-8). A recognized authority on financial economics, corporate performance measurement, corporate valuation, and incentive compensation, he is a leading advocate of the concept of shareholder value. Irwin Ross (New York, NY) was retained to write The EVA Challenge with Joel Stern and John Shiely. He is a former roving editor of Reader's Digest and over the years has written for Fortune and a variety of other magazines.

The EVA Challenge

Implementing Value-Added Change in an Organization

By: Joel M. Stern,John S. Shiely,Irwin Ross

Economic Value Added - das EVA-Konzept - wurde von der Beratungsfirma Stern Stewart & Co. entwickelt. Es ist ein effektiver Maßstab zur Messung der finanziellen Performance eines Unternehmens und ist eng mit dem Shareholder-Value-Ansatz verbunden. Darüber hinaus kann mit Hilfe von EVA -Berechnungen auch eine Unternehmensbewertung durchgeführt werden; ein positiver EVA-Wert bedeutet einen Wertzuwachs, ein negativer hingegen einen Wertverlust. "The EVA Challenge" erläutert, wie man EVA implementiert - angefangen bei der Schulung von Angestellten bis hin zur Beantwortung und Lösung der häufigsten Implementierungsfragen und -probleme, denen Unternehmen begegnen. Diskutiert wird komplett neues Material zu 'real options', 'leveraged stock options' und anderen wichtigen Finanzkonzepte für Unternehmen der New und der Old Economy. Mit zahlreichen Fallbeispielen aus der Unternehmenspraxis.

Topological Insulators

Chapter 2. Theory of Three-Dimensional Topological Insulators

By: Joel E. Moore

The theory of the topological insulator phase that emerges via spin-orbit coupling in three-dimensional materials is introduced, stressing its relationship to earlier topological phases in two dimensions. An unusual surface state with an odd number of “Dirac points” appears as a consequence of bulk topological invariants of the band structure. A different theoretical approach is then presented, based on the Berry phase of Bloch electrons, in order to illustrate a deep connection to the orbital contribution to the magnetoelectric polarizability in all materials. The unique features of transport in the topological insulator surface state are reviewed with an emphasis on possible experiments. The final section discusses briefly connections to interacting phases including topological superconductors and some recent efforts to construct fractional topological insulators in three dimensions.

The Food and Feasts of Jesus

Inside the World of First Century Fare, with Menus and Recipes

By: Douglas E. Neel,Joel A. Pugh

The New Testament is filled with stories of Jesus eating with people--from extravagant wedding banquets to simple meals of loaves and fishes. The Food and Feasts of Jesus offers a new perspective on life in biblical times by taking readers inside these meals. Food production and distribution impacted all aspects of ancient life, including the teachings of Jesus. From elaborate holiday feasts to a simple farmer's lunch, the book explores the significance of various meals, discusses key ingredients, places food within the socioeconomic conditions of the time, and offers accessible recipes for readers to make their own tastes of the first century. Ideal for individual reading or group study, this book opens a window into the tumultuous world of the first century and invites readers to smell, touch, and taste the era's food.

Remembering the Cold War

Global Contest and National Stories

By: David Lowe,Tony Joel

Remembering the Cold War examines how, more than two decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cold War legacies continue to play crucial roles in defining national identities and shaping international relations around the globe. Given the Cold War’s blurred definition – it has neither a widely accepted commencement date nor unanimous conclusion - what is to be remembered? This book illustrates that there is, in fact, a huge body of ‘remembrance,’ and that it is more pertinent to ask: what should be included and what can be overlooked? Over five sections, this richly illustrated volume considers case studies of Cold War remembering from different parts of the world, and engages with growing theorisation in the field of memory studies, specifically in relation to war. David Lowe and Tony Joel afford careful consideration to agencies that identify with being ‘victims’ of the Cold War. In addition, the concept of arenas of articulation, which envelops the myriad spaces in which the remembering, commemorating, memorialising, and even revising of Cold War history takes place, is given prominence.
