Dear Money
Author: Martha McPhee
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547487207
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 357
Book Description
This Pygmalion tale of a struggling novelist turned bond trader brings to life the greed and riotous wealth of mid-2000s New York City. India Palmer, living the cash-strapped existence of the writer, is visiting wealthy friends in Maine when a yellow biplane swoops down from the clear blue sky to bring a stranger into her life, one who will change everything. The stranger is Win Johns, a swaggering and intellectually bored trader of mortgage-backed securities. Charmed by India’s intelligence, humor, and inquisitive nature—and aware of her near-desperate financial situation—Win poses a proposition: “Give me eighteen months and I’ll make you a world-class bond trader.” Shedding her artist’s life with surprising ease, India embarks on a raucous ride to the top of the income chain, leveraging herself with crumbling real estate, never once looking back . . .Or does she? With a light-handed irony that is by turns as measured as Claire Messud’s and as biting as Tom Wolfe’s, Martha McPhee tells the classic American story of people reinventing themselves, unaware of the price they must pay for their transformation.

Systems of Electrical Units
Author: Francis Briggs Silsbee
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Electric units
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
The various systems of measurement, with their respective sets of units, used in the literature on electricity and magnetism are described in detail. Their historical development is summarized. The manner in which each is derived from either of the two alternative points of view of the experimentalist and the theoretician is compared and contrasted. The desirability of recognizing both points of view in international standardization, particularly when discussing rationalization, is pointed out. The present status of the absolute measurements on which all electrical units are based is reported, and tables are included for the conversion of equations and numerical values from one system to another.

The Economics of Immigration
Author: Örn B. Bodvarsson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461421160
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
The Economics of Immigration is written as a both a reference for researchers and as a textbook on the economics of immigration. It is aimed at two audiences: (1) researchers who are interested in learning more about how economists approach the study of human migration flows; and (2) graduate students taking a course on migration or a labor economics course where immigration is one of the subfields studied. The book covers the economic theory of immigration, which explains why people move across borders and details the consequences of such movements for the source and destination economies. The book also describes immigration policy, providing both a history of immigration policy in a variety of countries and using the economic theory of immigration to explain the determinants and consequences of the policies. The timing of this book coincides with the emergence of immigration as a major political and economic issue in the USA, Japan Europe and many developing countries.
