Grant Jones / Jones & Jones
Grant Jones, founding principal of the noted landscape architecture firm Jones & Jones, has practiced ecological design for more than 30 years and has been a pioneer in river planning, scenic highway design, zoo design, and landscape aesthetics. The latest addition to our successful Source Books inLandscape Architecture series, Grant Jones/Jones & Jones ILARIS, focuses on Jones's "green print" plan for Puget Sound in Washington State. Working in collaboration with the Trust for Public Lands and using new GIS technology, Jones & Jones developed the software tool ILARIS. This CAD-liketool helps to evaluate the aesthetic resources of landscape regions and is used as a basis for future planning. The Puget Sound model can be applied to other landscapes at risk. Including an interview with Grant Jones, critical essays discussing his work, as well as numerous diagrams, plans, and photographs, Grant Jones/Jones & Jones ILARIS is a thorough study of an important project.
Protected Cell Companies
This Second Edition of Protected Cell Companies is a valuable resource for practitioners who work with this important new business form. The Protected Cell Companies Act was first introduced in Guernsey in 1997 and other jurisdictions have followed this path. This gave rise to the First Edition of this book which contained the legal analysis essential to further use and development. The book provides comprehensive guidance on such complex issues as insolvency, veil-piercing, tax, and accounting. As lawyers and business people have come to understand the PCC its uses have spread from its origins in captive insurance companies to providing a bankruptcy remote vehicle for special purpose vehicles, credit derivatives, and open-end investment companies. The authors show that PCCs are now widely used by insurers, insurance brokers, banks, investment and fund managers and international tax planning advisers. They also describe the use of PCCs and related devices not only in their originating jurisdictions but in the EU, the US and around the world. This new edition contains substantial additions but with the same practical emphasis of the original book.
