Handbook of World Exchange Rates, 1590–1914

By: Markus A Denzel

As a world economy emerged from the 16th-17th centuries onwards, a global cashless payment system arose. This had its base in Europe, first in Italy, then in the rising regions of the north-west, with Amsterdam and then London as the central financial market. The mutual quotation of exchange rates, which provide the data tabulated and analysed here, mark the integration into a global network of all areas with significant economic potential. The primary aim of this book is to provide a compact account of the exchange rates in all these financial markets, from the late 16th century up to the First World War. This makes possible an instant conversion between the major world currencies at nearly any date within that period, while the important introduction provides the explanation and context of developments. The present handbook therefore serves as an invaluable resource for those concerned with all aspects of commercial and financial history.

The Hamburg Marine Insurance, 1736–1859

By: Markus A. Denzel

Based on the analysis of Hamburg’s marine insurance premiums for more than 120 years, this book shows that the premiums’ long-term decline has been a consequence of both the restoration of security on the high seas after 1815 and the elimination of piracy around 1830.

Ranking for Web Data Search Using On-The-Fly Data Integration

By: Herzig, Daniel Markus

Ranking - the algorithmic decision on how relevant an information artifact is for a given information need and the sorting of artifacts by their concluded relevancy - is an integral part of every search engine. In this book we investigate how structured Web data can be leveraged for ranking with the goal to improve the effectiveness of search. We propose new solutions for ranking using on-the-fly data integration and experimentally analyze and evaluate them against the latest baselines.

How to Thrive in a Multicultural World

By: Hazel Rose Markus,Alana Conner

“If you fear that cultural, political, and class differences are tearing America apart, read this important book.” —Jonathan Haidt, Ph.D., author of The Righteous Mind Who will rule in the twenty-first century: allegedly more disciplined Asians, or allegedly more creative Westerners? Can women rocket up the corporate ladder without knocking off the men? How can poor kids get ahead when schools favor the rich? As our planet gets smaller, cultural conflicts are becoming fiercer. Rather than lamenting our multicultural worlds, Hazel Rose Markus and Alana Conner reveal how we can leverage our differences to mend the rifts in our workplaces, schools, and relationships, as well as on the global stage. Provocative, witty, and painstakingly researched, Clash! not only explains who we are, it also envisions who we could become.

A Land of Milk and Butter

How Elites Created the Modern Danish Dairy Industry

By: Markus Lampe,Paul Sharp

How and why does Denmark have one of the richest, most equal, and happiest societies in the world today? Historians have often pointed to developments from the late nineteenth century, when small peasant farmers worked together through agricultural cooperatives, whose exports of butter and bacon rapidly gained a strong foothold on the British market. This book presents a radical retelling of this story, placing (largely German-speaking) landed elites—rather than the Danish peasantry—at center stage. After acquiring estates in Denmark, these elites imported and adapted new practices from outside the kingdom, thus embarking on an ambitious program of agricultural reform and sparking a chain of events that eventually led to the emergence of Denmark’s famous peasant cooperatives in 1882. A Land of Milk and Butter presents a new interpretation of the origin of these cooperatives with striking implications for developing countries today.

Another Opening, Another Show

A Lively Introduction to the Theatre, Third Edition

By: Tom Markus,Linda Sarver,Frank Kuhn

Another Opening, Another Show derived from the authors asking students what they wanted in an introductory theatre textbook. They've given them exactly that: • A book that doesn't cost a lot • A book that is fun to read • A book that helps them understand and enjoy theatre • An insider's look at theatre, not a scholar's critique of it • An opportunity to learn about plays on a stage rather than plays on a page • Pictures that illustrate the ideas in the text instead of just decorating it Instructors will appreciate the Third Edition's modularity. Each chapter stands on its own, allowing for maximum flexibility for individual course needs. The book's inclusive approach touches on cultural diversity and gender issues in American theatre, as well as adding an entirely new chapter on Asian theatre. Photos of contemporary productions enrich the text, and a variety of side material shows students how the concepts they read about are applied by theatre professionals.
