Marine Insurance Legislation (Lloyd's Shipping Law Library) Review

A FULLY UP TO DATE AND ANNOTATED MARINE INSURANCE RESOURCE

An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers

If you're professionally involved in marine insurance whether insurer, broker or legal adviser, you no doubt have a copy already of Marine Insurance Legislation, probably the 3rd edition published 2005 - which means you now need to purchase the latest Fourth Edition to stay up to date.

In fact, there have been three previous editions of this definitive work since 1997, all written by Robert Merkin, an acknowledged expert in insurance, arbitration and marine insurance.

Part of the Lloyd's Shipping Law Library, this latest edition incorporates within its 450+ pages, the many changes that have taken place in the marine insurance world since the previous edition was published, including a fully updated annotation of the Marine Insurance Act 1906. (Drafted by Sir Mackenzie Chalmers, the Act was a codification of some 200 years of judicial decisions and remains in force, albeit with significant modifications and changes).

Marine Insurance Legislation sets out the authorities on which this legislation was based and the way in which the legislation has been construed. There are cross references as well, to the most recent Institute Cargo Clauses, now in a new version -- the first revision for over 25 years -- which came into force on 1 January 2009. Attention is also drawn to the fact that important new decisions have been taken in the English courts on just about every aspect of marine insurance law, including `the usual suspects - utmost good faith and warranties.'

Other key developments cited include the role of brokers...the measurement of loss...and the rights and obligations of the assured and underwriters following a casualty.

This edition also extends the scope of previous editions to cover other common law jurisdictions, referring to leading cases from Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore. A new and certainly convenient feature in this edition is the 86-page Equivalence Table included in the appendices which provides an at-a-glance comparison of UK legislation with its equivalents in these jurisdictions.

This in short, is the definitive work of reference to marine insurance legislation post 2010 -including its formidable 39-page Table of Cases -- and therefore an indispensable addition to the well-stocked law library.

Product Description

Assessing the roles of capital, labour, and state, McNamara discovers a distinctive style of interest bargaining to bridge uncertainties and foster entrepreneurship. The textile industry serves as a microcosm of the broader social changes of the past five decades. Dramatic transitions from family firms to professional capitalism, from state direction to regulation, and from company unions to industry federations take centre stage. Moving among executives, labour leaders, and state officials, the author charts development across the crucible of contending interests. Stretching from high technology to labour-intensive production, the textile industry offers a new profile of democratization and market liberalization, and recently of globalization and adjustment in the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis.
The first comprehensive review of the past and present of a leading sector, the volume offers a new interpretation of society and market in South Korea. Drawing insights from the New Economic Sociology, this study sheds new light on social systems of production in the South Korean Miracle. Contrasts with Thailand and Japan bring the Korean experience of interest contention into a comparative context of Asian capitalism.

Market and Society in Korea: Interest, Institution and the Textile Industry (Routledge Advances in Korean Studies) Review

I am writing my thesis on the textile and apparel industry in Italy and South Korea, analyzing differences and similarities, as well as managerial, marketing and labor aspects. This book is very well written and analyzes in depth how the South Korean industry developed itself from the 50s and the close relationship between government and companies-conglomerates "Chaebols" dominating the textile industry. It's the perfect book to start studying about the textile industry in a "newly-developed" Asian country. I personally have been to South Korea last semester, because I won a scholarship, so I've studyied and lived there for 4 months in order to gather informations for my thesis. I also visited some textile companies and interviewed with some managers who told me their personal experience and facts about the industry development. Most of the information Ihave been given is contained in this book "Market and Society in Korea".

Product Description

This edited volume covers the multiple changes concerning urban governance in the course of the progressive transformation of the Pearl River Delta mega-urban region in China. Looking at the megacities Guangzhou and Shenzhen, it analyzes the maturing of socio-economic, political and spatial structures after the first waves of economic globalization, political transformation, and their rapid expansion and urbanization. The initial claim and starting point of the book is the existence of a profound multidimensional shift in the coastal mega-urban region with a major tendency towards urban upgrading, economic restructuring and a clearly observable consolidation of political institutions. For the first time since the beginning of the reform and opening up after 1978, this has led to a stronger bias toward urban regeneration, an adaptive re-use of the building stock and an establishment of post-industrial knowledge-based creative industries. The book investigates these changes as a set of mutually dependent developments that have to be understood and analyzed in connection with one another. Thus, the backgrounds and underlying forces that shape physical restructuring in the developed urban cores of the mega-urban region and the ways in which the relevant actors and institutions are trying to both cope with and to influence each other are introduced here.

Product Description

Most economists assume that the mathematical and quantative sides of their science are relatively recent developments. Measurement, Quantification and Economic Analysis shows that this is a misconception. Its authors argue that economists have long relied on measurement and quantification as essential tools.
However, problems have arisen in adapting these tools from other fields. Ultimately, the authors are sceptical about the role which measurement and quantification tools now play in contemporary economic theory.

Measurement, Quantification and Economic Analysis: Numeracy in Economics Review

Ingrid Rima is the editor of this collection of essays dealing with numeracy(and innumeracy) in the economics profession.The essays are very uneven in quality and most fail to make the point,made long ago by John Maynard Keynes(economics) and Ludwig Boltzmann(physics),that far too much of the mathematical exposition found in economics exposition ,in general, and some areas of physics, is for mere adornment .It is used to "dress up" an article or book so as to impress the reader and has no real applicability in the scientific sense.Such use of mathematics is a fad and plays no role in either explanation or prediction.However,this was not the case for Keynes or Boltzmann.Keynes uses exactly the right amount of mathematical exposition needed in order to model his theories in both the A Treatise on Probability(1921,TP)and his General Theory(1936,GT).Anyone who attempts to read either book while skipping the mathematical and logical analysis provided will not be able to understand what it is that Keynes is doing.Bradley Bateman's(BB) essay 13 is a good example of the pitfalls into which an economist can fall who attempts to "interpret" Keynes's TP and GT without understanding what Keynes is doing in his theoretical analysis in both books.BB is certainly correct to argue that Keynes was the first economist to explicitly introduce expectations into macroeconomics.Unfortunately,BB does not know how Keynes did this,since he does not understand that ,first,Keynesian probabilities are primarily interval valued,second,that Keynes was the first scholar in history to develop an index to measure the weight of the evidence,w,and third,that Keynes was the first scholar to come up with a decision rule,his conventional coefficient of weight and risk,c,which incorporates weight of the evidence(uncertainty,ambiguity,vagueness)concerns along with nonlinear probability preferences and sub and super additive "probabilities".BB,unfortunately,accepted at face value the very poor assessments made about Keynes's TP by F Ramsey in two book reviews published in 1922 and 1926,respectively.Similarly,BB has no idea of how Keynes explicitly integrated expectations into his D-Z model in the GT ,because he did not cover chapters 20 and 21.These are the chapters in which Keynes did his mathematical modeling before he compared his model with the model A C Pigou had constructed in Part II,chapters 8-10,of his 1933 masterpiece,The Theory of Unemployment,in the appendix to chapter 19 of the GT.Keynes constructed the expected aggregate demand function,D=pO,where p is an expected price and the expected aggregate supply function,Z=P+wN,where P is expected economic profit.Keynes formed the aggregate supply curve ,which is the set of all expected results given differing expectations about future expected prices and future expected profits.It is obtained by setting D=Z.Instead, BB concludes that Keynes's "model" is some sort of intuitive hueristic device that Keynes never really developed at all in the GT.Keynes merely had some very interesting ideas that were never made concrete.

Media Production Agreements: A User's Guide for Film and Programme Makers (Blueprint) Review

I heard about this book from Dov Simens who teaches a low budget filmaking course. I bought it and it had all the contracts I needed to get my production company going and my first film made.I was amazed at how easy it was to use and it's clear explanations of contracts in the movie business. On one page there's a contract and on the opposite page there's an explanation of the contract. This is a must read if you want to make films.

Medicinal Fatty Acids in Inflammation (Progress in Inflammation Research) Review

I used this book extensively when I was writing my thesis on Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Their Role in Osteoarthritis. The book gives detailed information on the role of n-3 fatty acids and unique perspectives on new research in the field. I don't not think this is a good book for a layman interested in general information on omega-3 fatty acids, but I would recommend it for anyone with an academic interest in the subject.
