What is creativity and how can we best nurture creativity in different contexts? Drawing on a wide range of cases from the arts, business, design, media and sports, Creativities encourages readers to discover, mix, and adapt their own version of creativity, rather than attempting to imitate or follow ‘best practice’.
The simplest method of transferring data through the inputs or outputs of a silicon chip is to directly connect each bit of the datapath from one chip to the next chip. Once upon a time this was an acceptable approach. However, one aspect (and perhaps the only aspect) of chip design which has not changed during the career of the authors is Moore’s Law, which has dictated substantial increases in the number of circuits that can be manufactured on a chip. The pin densities of chip packaging technologies have not increased at the same pace as has silicon density, and this has led to a prevalence of High Speed Serdes (HSS) devices as an inherent part of almost any chip design. HSS devices are the dominant form of input/output for many (if not most) high-integration chips, moving serial data between chips at speeds up to 10 Gbps and beyond. Chip designers with a background in digital logic design tend to view HSS devices as simply complex digital input/output cells. This view ignores the complexity associated with serially moving billions of bits of data per second. At these data rates, the assumptions associated with digital signals break down and analog factors demand consideration. The chip designer who oversimplifies the problem does so at his or her own peril.
What was the role of merchant guilds in the medieval and early modern economy? Does their wide prevalence and long survival mean they were efficient institutions that benefited the whole economy? Or did merchant guilds simply offer an effective way for the rich and powerful to increase their wealth, at the expense of outsiders, customers and society as a whole? These privileged associations of businessmen were key institutions in the European economy from 1000 to 1800. Historians debate merchant guilds' role in the Commercial Revolution, economists use them to support theories about institutions and development, and policymakers view them as prime examples of social capital, with important lessons for modern economies. Sheilagh Ogilvie's magisterial new history of commercial institutions shows how scrutinizing merchant guilds can help us understand which types of institution made trade grow, why institutions exist, and how corporate privileges affect economic efficiency and human well-being.

Treasury management activities are undertaken in all organizations. However, the increasing number of risks faced by organizations today has warranted many to develop a specialized treasury department to counteract them. Treasury Management describes the responsibilities the treasury manager will hold within such a department and the wide range of products and techniques now available to counter financials risks. These can often be highly technical-in an area where rapid response can be crucial, effective management tools are vital. Treasury Management provides a comprehensive overview of all the issues involved, including:-Sources of Finance;-Capital Structure;-Dividend Policy;-Management of interest rate risk;-Currency risk management and exchange risk relationships. Easy to read, understand and apply, Treasury Management enables these activities and more to be understood by finance specialists and non-financial managers, as well as students on CIMA, ICA and other finance and accounting courses.
Philippa Marshall arrives on isolated Bennett’s Island as a young war widow eager to provide for her son. The insular island community initially welcomes her as the teacher in their one-room schoolhouse, but when she champions a clutch of neglected children, she finds herself thrust in the midst of a smoldering conflict between two prominent families. The prospect of a lobster war between the Bennetts and Campions threatens the livelihoods of everyone who calls Bennett’s Island home.
