Описание: The Moorad Choudhry Global Banking Series edited by Dr Moorad Choudhry The Moorad Choudhry Global Banking series is a new collection of books aimed at market practitioners, academics and graduate students in key areas of global banking. It covers core topics such as risk management, corporate governance and strategy, as well as recent developments affecting the future of banking, including digital banking, machine learning, fintech, blockchain and the latest in product development. The series is designed to be all-encompassing, with titles ranging from technical and specialist areas such as derivatives central clearing to wider areas of social interest such as corporate governance and corporate social responsibility in banking. It aims to present current and future best-practice in all aspects of banking, from the world’s leading writers on this topic. Authors will be experienced and respected practitioners and academics from globally recognised institutions. The series engages a global perspective on the changing nature of banking. It seeks authors with innovative approaches to the subject or an interest in challenging established conventions. It welcomes both monographs and edited collections that share these aims. We are looking for interesting new book proposals, which might include: • Individual monographs which allow research ideas to be developed at greater length than might be possible in journal articles • Edited volumes which draw together multiple contributors from different organisations and institutions around a particular theme • Technical publications covering specialist topics • Contributions which offer novel approaches to any aspect of banking.

Описание: This is the first book dedicated to solar gas turbines, providing fundamental knowledge and state-of-the-art developments in the field. A gas turbine is a heat engine in which a mixture of fuel and air is burned in a chamber that is an integral part of the flow circuit of the working fluid. The burnt gas mixture expands and turns the turbine, which can be connected to a generator for electricity production. Solar gas turbines offer an important alternative to conventional gas turbines driven by non-renewable, polluting fossil fuels such as diesel or natural gas. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the topic as well as numerous illustrations.

Описание: As towns and cities worldwide deal with fast-increasing land pressures, while also trying to promote more sustainable, connected communities, the creation of green spaces within urban areas is receiving greater attention than ever before.
At the same time, the value of the 'green belt' as the most prominent model of green space planning is being widely questioned, and an array of alternative models are being proposed. This book explores one of those alternative models - the 'green wedge', showing how this offers a successful model for integrating urban development and nature in existing and new towns and cities around the world.
Green wedges, considered here as ducts of green space running from the countryside into the centre of a city or town, are not only making a comeback in urban planning, but they have a deeper history in the twentieth century than many expect - a history that provides valuable insight and lessons in the employment of networked green spaces in city design and regional planning today.
Part history, and part contemporary argument, this book first examines the emergence and global diffusion of the green wedge in town planning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, placing it in the broader historic context of debates and ideas for urban planning with nature, before going on to explore its use in contemporary urban practice. Examining their relation to green infrastructures, landscape ecology and landscape urbanism and their potential for sustainable cities, it highlights the continued relevance of a historic idea in an era of rapid climate change.
