Arts Entrepreneurship and Economic Development surveys the academic literature to provide a definition of arts entrepreneurship, delineate the characteristics of art entrepreneurs from other types of entrepreneurs, assess the best-practice strategies for cities promoting arts entrepreneurship, examine the proper role of government versus the private sector in promoting arts entrepreneurship, and to evaluate whether education and training can increase arts entrepreneurship. It concludes with prospects for the future of arts entrepreneurship.

The book presents a comprehensive guide to the study of Lie systems from the fundamentals of differential geometry to the development of contemporary research topics. It embraces several basic topics on differential geometry and the study of geometric structures while developing known applications in the theory of Lie systems. The book also includes a brief exploration of the applications of Lie systems to superequations, discrete systems, and partial differential equations.Offering a complete overview from the topic's foundations to the present, this book is an ideal resource for physics and mathematics students, doctoral students and researchers.

Understanding Voltammetry: 4th Edition

The power of electrochemical measurements in respect of thermodynamics, kinetics and analysis is widely recognised but the subject can be unpredictable to the novice even if they have a strong physical and chemical background, and most especially if they wish to pursue quantitative measurements. Accordingly, some significant experiments are perhaps wisely never attempted while the literature is sadly replete with flawed attempts at rigorous voltammetry.This textbook considers how to implement designing, explaining and interpreting experiments centred on various forms of voltammetry (cyclic, microelectrode, hydrodynamic, etc.). The reader is assumed to have knowledge of physical chemistry equivalent to Master's level but no exposure to electrochemistry, or voltammetry in particular. While the book is designed to stand alone, references to important research papers are given to provide an introductory entry into the literature.In this fourth edition, important parts of the text have been re-written for optimal clarity, recognising that many readers will not have English as a first language. Updates to the text have been made and new, additional material included, expanding the text whilst retaining the overall concise, to-the-point approach which has proved popular with the readers of the previous editions.

A major international security concern that surfaced in the post-World War II period was the emergence and evolution of international terrorism. The dominant theme in the evolution of this threat has been anti-American terrorism. No other country has had its overseas interests subjected to the same level, lethality, diversity, and geographic scope of international terrorist activity as the United States. This five-volume work chronicles the development of this threat through 12 U.S. presidential administrations over a 70-year period. It assesses the terrorist threat in the U.S. and overseas and how the government responded. The expansion of the field of terrorism in academia, think tanks, institutes, and the private sector over this period is also addressed. Volumes I and II covered the Eisenhower through to the George H.W. Bush administrations. This volume documents the terrorist threat faced by the Clinton administration (1993–2000) and how it responded. It was during this administration that Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda emerged as major terrorism actors and the planning and preparation for the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks took place. The 1993 World Trade Center bombing, 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, and 2000 bombing of the USS Cole missile destroyer also occurred during this period. Importantly, this book is the first to address in detail a plan — neglected by the media and suppressed by the U.S. government — to kill President Clinton during a visit to Manila in November 1996, in which al Qaeda was suspected. Executive orders, presidential decision directives, domestic legislation, international treaties, special counterterrorism units, terrorist renditions, presidential findings, public diplomacy, and counterterrorism actions are also examined.

Finance is undergoing a profound transformation. Digital technologies are reshaping payments, lending, insurance, and wealth management. Big data technology is now an integral part of the financial services industry and will continue to drive future innovation. Digital finance has fundamentally changed how we live and do business, and it has been a major disruptor of the finance industry. The advantages of digital finance have long been recognized. Rapidly growing digital technologies also present the potential to deliver financial services at significantly reduced costs, thereby increasing financial inclusion and generating significant efficiency improvements across the economy. To build inclusive societies and address rising inequalities, global and national leaders must bridge the digital divide across and within countries to reap the benefits of digital financial services and build appropriate regulatory frameworks for ensuring trusted transactions in a digitalized economy. This means finding the right balance between enabling financial innovation and addressing risks, including insufficient consumer protection, a lack of financial and digital literacy, unequal access to digital infrastructure, and data biases that need action at the national level.This book focuses on financial technology, with a particular emphasis on the impact of digital finance on the finance and banking industries. Chapters address topics such as FinTech, big data, Bitcoin, corporate governance, and economic policy, while also considering current global issues like climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. The book offers an insightful overview of how the finance and banking sectors are changing under the influence of the digital age, supported by the most recent research and illuminating case studies.
