A Dust Bowl Book of Days, 1932

By the early 1930s, dust storms ripped across America’s drought-stricken Great Plains. Living on the northernmost edge of the Dust Bowl, South Dakotans grappled with the natural extremes and economic depression of the era. Many lost their farms and left the state. Others moved to town and fought to survive.A Dust Bowl Book of Days invites readers into the day-to-day life of Margaret Spader Neises as she cares for her family. She bears witness to her husband’s work struggles, her children’s illnesses, and the forces of nature beyond her control. Margaret’s fears give rise to pithy, poignant observations. Whether documenting the escapades of a young temptress, her family’s attempts to stay one step ahead of the banker, or her own whimsies, Margaret creates a vivid portrait of her life in simple prose. Author Craig Volk draws on the Great Depression-era diaries of his grandmother Margaret and an unpublished memoir of his mother, Joan Neises Volk to showcase the women who preserved and guided their families through adversity. By synthesizing numerous short entries written throughout the thirties into the single year of 1932, Volk crafts an engaging narrative that provides unique insight into daily life amid hard times.

Benny Wright reasoned that the most critical number was one. It only took one tragic event or one losing ticket at the racetrack to sack a human's will to live. What he didn't know at the time that he had this brilliant insight was that he would have two life-altering events in rapid succession, neither of which he could have seen coming. The man was an artist, musical composer, lyricist and performer. His mission in life was to provide a better lifestyle for the people he loved most, his wife and two children. Yet after repeated setbacks, he concludes that he's failed them. Now he concocts what most would consider an ill-conceived plan to save his family. Desperation is not a friend to love and devotion. If Benny is going to prove that where hope ends, the triumph of the spirit begins, a companion might be just what the doctor orders.

A History of British Actuarial Thought

In the first book of its kind, Turnbull traces the development and implementation of actuarial ideas, from the conception of Equitable Life in the mid-18th century to the start of the 21st century. This book analyses the historical development of British actuarial thought in each of its three main practice areas of life assurance, pensions and general insurance. It discusses how new actuarial approaches were developed within each practice area, and how these emerging ideas interacted with each other and were often driven by common external factors such as shocks in the economic environment, new intellectual ideas from academia and developments in technology.A broad range of historically important actuarial topics are discussed such as the development of the blueprint for the actuarial management of with-profit business; historical developments in mortality modelling methods; changes in actuarial thinking on investment strategy for life andpensions business; changing perspectives on the objectives and methods for funding Defined Benefit pensions; the application of risk theory in general insurance reserving; the adoption of risk-based reserving and the Guaranteed Annuity Option crisis at the end of the 20th century.This book also provides an historical overview of some of the most important external contributions to actuarial thinking: in particular, the first century or so of modern thinking on probability and statistics, starting in the 1650s with Pascal and Fermat; and the developments in the field of financial economics over the third quarter of the twentieth century. This book identifies where historical actuarial thought heuristically anticipated some of the fundamental ideas of modern finance, and the challenges that the profession wrestled with in reconciling these ideas with traditional actuarial methods. Actuaries have played a profoundly influential role in the management ofthe United Kingdom’s most important long-term financial institutions over the last two hundred years. This book will be the first to chart the influence of the actuarial profession to modern day. It will prove a valuable resource for actuaries, actuarial trainees and students of actuarial science. It will also be of interest to academics and professionals in related financial fields such as accountants, statisticians, economists and investment managers.

Interventi precoci a scuola per adolescenti a rischio
Il costo annuale in Australia e negli Stati Uniti associato all'abbandono scolastico precoce stimato in miliardi di dollari in perdita di entrate, criminalit , disoccupazione e abuso di sostanze. In risposta, le scuole sono sempre pi utilizzate come l'arma principale per contrastare i comportamenti antisociali degli adolescenti. Questo libro esplora i fattori che influenzano l'attuazione, in ambito scolastico, di politiche di intervento precoce per quei giovani, di et compresa tra i 12 e i 14 anni, a rischio di disimpegno scolastico. Questo libro cerca di affrontare la mancanza di ricerche su come le strategie di intervento precoce siano incorporate dal personale scolastico generalista nelle loro routine e nei processi scolastici quotidiani - gli aspetti pratici dell'implementazione in ambito scolastico. L'analisi dovrebbe fornire informazioni utili per insegnanti, amministratori scolastici, redattori di politiche e programmi di studio, educatori degli insegnanti e accademici.
