Since the first edition of The Psychology of Risk there have been enormous macro-economic and socio-political changes globally - the chaos in the world banking system and the financial crisis and recessions that it presaged; the Arab Spring and the revolutionary shifts in power in the Middle East with rippled consequences around the world; the development of ever-more sophisticated cyber-terrorism that can strike the private individual or the nation state with equal ease. Amidst these changes in the face of hazard, do the psychological models built to explain human reactions to risk still apply? Has the research over the last few years resulted in an improvement in our understanding of how people perceive and act in relation to risk? In this second edition Professor Dame Breakwell uses illustrations and current examples to address these questions and provide a totally up-to-the minute review of what is known about the psychology of risk.

A complete guide to investing in and managing a portfolio of mortgage- and asset-backed securities Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are not as complex as they might seem. In fact, all of the information, financial models, and software needed to successfully invest in and manage a portfolio of these securities are available to the investment professional through open source software. Investing in Mortgage and Asset-Backed Securities + Website shows you how to achieve this goal. The book draws entirely on publicly available data and open source software to construct a complete analytic framework for investing in these securities. The analytic models used throughout the book either exist in the quantlib library, as an R package, or are programmed in R and incorporated into the analytic framework used. Examines the valuation of fixed-income securities—metrics, valuation framework, and return analysisCovers residential mortgage-backed securities—security cash flow, mortgage dollar roll, adjustable rate mortgages, and private label MBSDiscusses prepayment modeling and the valuation of mortgage creditPresents mortgage-backed securities valuation techniques—pass-through valuation and interest rate models Engaging and informative, this book skillfully shows you how to build, rather than buy, models and proprietary analytical platforms that will allow you to invest in mortgage- and asset-backed securities.
People cope with threats to their identities in many different ways. Until the original publication of this title in 1986, there had been no theoretical framework within which to analyse their strategies for doing this, or to examine the nature and impact of the threatening experiences themselves. In this elegant and original book, Glynis Breakwell proposes an integrative model which explores the structure of identity and the principles directing its development.Focusing on examples of threat such as unemployment, sexually atypical employment and ethnic marginality, Breakwell examines the relation of the individual to social change. Through her sensitive use of case studies, she enables the victims of threat to speak for themselves about their experiences and feelings. Their reactions illustrate her proposed framework of three levels of coping strategies – intra-psychic, interpersonal and intergroup – and her assessment of the factors which limit the success of such strategies. The case studies also point to new evidence on the effects of unemployment and the impact of youth training schemes at the time.This title would have been essential reading for a range of undergraduate courses in social and abnormal psychology and individual differences, as well as for postgraduate training in clinical and medical psychology at the time. Social workers, counsellors and all those concerned with the care of the sufferers of threatened identities will still find it both informative and influential.

Following the Korean War, Air Force veteran Carl Wolf longs to replace the tortured memories of his fighter-pilot past with a quiet life dedicated to marine science. But despite the tranquility of his surroundings, his past always keeps him at arm's length from the emotional connections he so deeply desires. Then, a chance encounter on a scientific expedition to the island of Cozumel changes everything. A newfound soul mate reveals a startling coincidence relating to one of his most traumatic episodes from the war, and Carl gets a glimpse of the future he'd always hoped for. Then, just as quickly, he loses contact with her. In the interim, he finds companionship with a beautiful colleague. The dueling relationship compounds his struggles to come to grips with life, love, and his nagging torturous past. And beyond its beauty, this lovingly crafted period piece is a compelling reminder that the pain of hard choices can often be tempered by nature's miracles...like the green flash itself.

Summer camp is a rite of passage for many, and so much more for Tom Steelman, an earnest middle-class son of the South who unexpectedly lands a counselor position at an exclusive camp that plays host to the children of Northeastern privilege. Maine's coastal waters aren't the only thing that Tom finds chilly when he arrives for duty at Camp Waserwarr. Right from the start he's an outsider, forced to endure one slight after another-some innocent and some intentional. Then, as he struggles to maintain a foothold in his new surroundings, ominous reports begin arriving from back home. With his self-reliance tested as never before, will Tom survive the clash of cultures into which he's been plunged, or will proving himself worthy in the eyes of others threaten the humble principles he's always lived by.
