Why this book? The method of this book is to investigate a complex subject succinctly by posing a series of questions that beg answers that beget more questions. It is hard to squeeze an introduction into such a scheme unless the very first question...

This book provides an objective look into the dynamic world of debt markets, products, valuation, and analysis. It also provides an in-depth understanding about this subject from experts in the field, both practitioners and academics. The coverage extends from discussing basic concepts and their application to increasingly intricate and real-world situations. This volume spans the gamut from theoretical to practical, while attempting to offer a useful balance of detailed and user-friendly coverage. The book has several distinguishing features. It blends the contributions of a global array of scholars and practitioners into a single review of some of the most important topics in this area. The book follows an internally consistent approach in format and style. Hence, it is collectively much more than a compilation of chapters from an array of different authors. It presents theory without unnecessary abstraction, quantitative techniques using basic bond mathematics, and conventions at a useful level of detail. It also incorporates how investment professionals analyze and manage fixed income portfolios. The book emphasizes empirical evidence involving debt securities and markets so it is understandable to a wide array of readers. Each chapter contains discussion questions to help reinforce key concepts. The end of the book contains guideline answers to each question. Readers interested in a broad survey will benefit as will those looking for more in-depth presentations of specific areas within this field of study. In summary, the book provides a fresh look at this intriguing and dynamic but often complex subject.

Climate change is a complex subject with terms and definitions that can seem overwhelming to non-specialists. What is ‘albedo’? What does ‘radiative forcing’ mean? What does ‘geoengineering’ entail? As climate change impacts grow more frequent and intense, it is critical that journalists, in particular, are equipped with the right information when they report. This set of open-access multilingual glossaries aim to bridge the gap between research and the general public by compiling this comprehensive list of most frequently-used terms related to climate change. A majority of these terms have been sourced from the different IPCC reports as well as public platforms such as the BBC and the Climate Reality Project.

Twenty years have elapsed since H. C. Beck and the present writer published a preliminary paper on the origin of British faience beads with special reference to those of the segmented variety and, except for the discovery and recognition of many new specimens over much wider areas it may be said that nothing has emerged to alter materially the general conclusions there enunciated that an Egyptian origin was the most likely for a number of the beads and that their dissemination to the British Isles took place during the Eighteenth Dynasty around about 1400 B.C.At the time of writing we not unnaturally concentrated on British specimens, as European analogues appeared to be conspicuously absent, and confined our attention primarily to morphological characters. We had, however, projected a wider study to embrace faience objects in general and, if possible, to adduce spectrographic evidence as further proof of identity or otherwise. Unfortunately the sudden death of Mr Beck in 1939 and the intervention of the war years greatly retarded progress in this direction. But the rapid recognition of old finds and the accumulation of new ones, mostly in Europe, in post-war years, coupled with a number of spectrographic analyses that have since been carried out with the help of Mr L. C. Thomas, now renders it desirable to review such progress as has been made in this most difficult and complex subject.

Translanguaging is a tool for bilingual or multilingual to learn more than one language.  In the field of linguistic, translanguaging is not something new. However, its implementation is still found rare in higher education. To fill this void, this study aims to investigate the implementation of translanguaging in classroom, especially in higher education. This research was intended to answer how helpful translanguaging practices in EFL Classroom is. By using qualitative method, the data were collected by recording two credits full face-to-face classroom interaction. One lecturer and her forty-five students voluntarily became the research participants.  The data were then analyzed by using thematic analysis. The findings showed that the practices were helpful in a way that the tutors could build an engaging dialogue for the students, enabling them to understand the complex learning materials. These findings then implied that in the teaching and learning process, EFL lecturers tend to be more attentive as they prefer to have their students understanding on complex subject to build English proficiency of their students’.

El aborto ha sido siempre un tema complejo que, en la actualidad, sigue suscitando intensos debates desde planteamientos muy dispares y posturas irreconciliables. Detrás de las diferentes líneas argumentativas para legitimar o no la interrupción voluntaria de la gestación existe un análisis de salud sexual y reproductiva desde una óptica moral con una concepción determinada de la “maternidad” que condiciona la jurisprudencia de los diferentes países. Muchas legislaciones permiten el aborto por cuestiones de salud, pero la defensa de la libertad de las mujeres lo reivindica como un derecho humano.<br /><br />Abortion has been always a complex subject still carries on causing heated discussions from very disparate criteria and irreconcilable positions. Behind the different argumentative lines to legitimate, or not, the voluntary termination of pregnancy, there is an analysis on sexual and reproductive health from a moral viewpoint with a certain conception of “motherhood” that conditions all countries’ jurisprudence. Many legislations authorize abortion on heath matters, but the defense of the women’s freedom demands it as a human right.<br /><br />

Financial behavior is a complex subject because how people should behave according to traditional finance often differs from how they actually behave. Although traditional and behavioral finance play important roles in understanding investor and market behavior, this book focuses on behavioral finance. Behavioral finance uses insights largely from finance, psychology, and other disciplines to explain how people act and how their behavior affects markets and other financial applications. This chapter provides an overview of behavioral finance, followed by a brief explanation of the book’s purpose, distinguishing features, and intended audience. The chapter outlines the book’s structure of: (1) financial behavior and psychology, (2) financial behavior of major players, (3) financial and investor psychology of specific players, (4) psychology of financial services, (5) behavioral aspects of investment products and markets, (6) market efficiency issues, and (7) application and future of behavioral finance.

Seeger and Stiehm should be congratulated on their recent careful review of a complex subject, T and B lymphocyte subpopulations.1 They correctly point out the technical problems in the identification of these cell types as well as their significance in the evaluation of certain immunological disorders. In their discussion of T-cell leukemia, however, the authors make the point that T-cell malignancies may be more frequent in younger children, on the basis of a review of lymphoid cell subpopulations by Kersey et al.2
