The mining industry faces distinct challenges. Mines have long lives, companies have little control over the prices at which they sell, prices are volatile, and the environmental impacts of mining are often not well managed. Despite this, the mining industry has received relatively little attention from neither economists nor the wider business community. There is a need to address the unique management challenges raised by this globally important industry. Modern Management in the Global Mining Industry addresses the economics of mining industries and the management of global mining companies in a manner which is both practical and guided by economic and management theory. Leading with the assertion that mining generates substantial benefits for all its stakeholders provided it is well-managed, and that this includes management of environmental impacts, the book argues that mining companies should move to seeing environmental preservation and sustenance of local communities as an objective rather than a constraint. The book will be an important reference for practitioners working in mining and related industries and to researchers of economic and management theory, mining operations, mining engineering and commodities.

Una exploración de los significativos sueños y visiones que anuncian la proximidad de la muerteEl doctor Kerr, director de un centro médico dedicado a enfermos terminales, empezó a observar que, poco antes de morir, muchos de sus pacientes tenían sueños felices y extraordinariamente significativos. Esas experiencias, que según los propios soñadores eran más reales que la propia realidad, les permitían interactuar con sus seres queridos fallecidos, que les ayudaban a reconciliarse con su vida y a realizar una transición fluida y pacífica.Son estos sueños solamente procesos oníricos debidos a las circunstancias terminales de los pacientes, o son algo más, quizá auténticos encuentros con almas en otros planos? A partir de entrevistas realizadas a más de mil cuatrocientos pacientes y datos cuantitativos recogidos durante una década, el Dr. Kerr no arriesga ninguna conclusión, pero reflexiona sobre la importancia de estos acontecimientos fuera de lo común que humanizan el proce

Liberation theology is widely referred to in discussions of politics and religion but not always adequately understood. This Companion offers an introduction to the history and characteristics of liberation theology in its various forms in different parts of the world. Authors from four continents examine the emergence and character of liberation theology in Latin America; black theology; Asian theology; and the new situation arising from the end of the apartheid regime in South Africa. The major Christian Church's attitude to liberation theology, and the extent of the movement's indebtedness to Marxism, are examined; and a political theologian writing from another perspective of Christian theology offers an evaluation. Through a sequence of eleven chapters readers are given a comprehensive description and evaluation of the different facets of this important theological and social movement. There is also an Introduction relating liberation theology to the history of theology, and a Sel

Corre el año 1933, Hitler ha sido nombrado canciller de Alemania y la situación en Austria es cada vez más inestable. Sin embargo, Chatsworth, productor de cine británico, se dispone a realizar un drama romántico basado en una obra musical vienesa. Está convencido de que la película, titulada La violeta del Prater, será un éxito comercial si la dirige Friedrich Bergmann?un judío austríaco tan genial como impredecible que ha dejado a su familia en Viena?y escribe el guión Isherwood?una promesa de la literatura inglesa que acaba de regresar a Londres tras vivir en Berlín?. El resultado de este encuentro no es sólo un certero retrato de Londres y Viena en los críticos momentos que precedieron el estallido de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, sino también la apasionante historia, basada en las experiencias del propio Isherwood, de cómo nace y toma forma una película, superando las tensiones, las intrigas y la pugna de egos que a menudo amenazan el proyecto.

Die Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union bedienen sich in zahlreichen Politikfeldern nicht einer durch die gemeinsame Rechtsetzung geprägten Integrationsmethode, sondern einer vorwiegend lediglich politisch verbindlichen "Methode der Koordinierung". Christopher Schoenfleisch beleuchtet die Funktionsweisen, Vorzüge und Defizite dieser Methode im Prozess der Europäischen Integration. Am Beispiel der durch eine solche Koordinierung geprägten Europäischen Wirtschaftsunion arbeitet er die Koordinierungsmechanismen vor dem Hintergrund des europäischen Kompetenz- und Legitimationsrahmens dogmatisch auf. Die Reform der Europäischen Wirtschaftsunion im Zuge der ab dem Jahre 2010 aufgekommenen Eurokrise verdeutlicht dabei das grundlegende politische Dilemma der Koordinierung: Der Zugewinn an gemeinsamer politischer Handlungsfähigkeit ist nur zum Preis des Verlusts demokratischer Legitimation zu haben.

Featuring unreported details and stunning revelations, the long-awaited follow-up to the “fabulous, addictive” (Chicago Sun-Times) New York Times bestseller Diana’s Boys explores the last twenty years in the lives of Princes William and Harry and the evolution of their relationship as adults, with one brother the designated heir, and the other doomed to life as the spare—perfect for fans of Netflix’s The Crown. Diana’s Boys revealed the powerful bond between the teenaged princes, and how it strengthened even more in the wake of their mother’s tragic death. Now, twenty years later, Queen Elizabeth II is in her mid-nineties, Prince Charles is in his seventies, and all eyes are turned increasingly toward William and Harry again. Christopher Andersen picks up where he left off, covering everything that has happened to the brothers as they have grown up, gotten married to two remarkable women, and had children—all while facing continual waves of controversy and questions about the ways their relationship has shifted. Andersen examines how the Queen’s behind-the-scenes maneuvering to mold her grandsons in the Windsor image after Diana’s death, and her expectations of William as the future king, played out. He questions whether the brothers’ famously close relationship can survive Harry’s departure from the Royal Family—the first time this has happened since their great-great-uncle King Edward abdicated the throne to marry a divorcée. He delves into the impact sisters-in-law Kate and Meghan have had on each other as well as on their princes, and how marriage and fatherhood have changed the brothers and, in some ways, also driven a wedge between them. Andersen also looks with an honest eye at how the princes and their wives have been continuously buffeted by scandal—including headline-making allegations of bullying, racism, betrayal, and emotional abuse that has pushed more than one royal to the brink of self-destruction. Based on in-depth research and with his “fascinating and insightful” (The Christian Science Monitor) writing, Andersen leaves no stone unturned in this intimate and riveting look into the private lives of the world’s most famous princes.
