Incorporating timely research and in-depth analysis, the Handbook of Finance is a comprehensive 3-Volume Set that covers both established and cutting-edge theories and developments in finance and investing. Other volumes in the set: Handbook of Finance Volume II: Investment Management and Financial Management and Handbook of Finance Volume III: Valuation, Financial Modeling, and Quantitative Tools.
This book is the first to systematically investigate how the notion of time is conceptualised in Jacques Lacan’s work. Through a careful examination of Lacan’s various presentations of time, Chenyang Wang argues that this notion is key to a comprehension of Lacan’s psychoanalytic thinking, and in particular to the way in which he theorises subjectivity. This book demonstrates that time is approached by Lacan not only as consciously experienced, but also as pre-reflectively embodied and symbolically generated. In an analysis that begins with Lacan’s “Logical Time” essay, Chenyang Wang articulates three temporal registers that correspond to Lacan's Real-Symbolic-Imaginary triad and also demonstrates how Lacan’s elaboration of other major themes including consciousness, body, language, desire and sexuality is informed by his original perspectives on time. Filling a significant gap in contemporary Lacanian studies, this book will provide essential reading for students and scholars of psychoanalytic theory, continental philosophy and critical theory.
In 1997, Saul Friedländer emphasized the need for an integrated history of the Holocaust. His suggestion to connect ‘the policies of the perpetrators, the attitudes of surrounding society, and the world of the victims’ provides the inspiration for this volume. Following in these footsteps, this innovative study approaches Holocaust history through a combination of macro analysis with micro studies. Featuring a range of contemporary research from emerging scholars in the field, this peer-reviewed volume provides detailed engagement with a variety of historical sources, such as documents, artifacts, photos, or text passages. The contributors investigate particular aspects of sound, materiality, space and social perceptions to provide a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, which have often been overlooked or generalised in previous historical research. Yet, as we approach an era of no first hand witnesses, this multidisciplinary, micro-historical approach remains a fundamental aspect of Holocaust research, and can provide a theoretical framework for future studies.
This two-volume set presents a comprehensive and up-to-date history of eighteenth-century philosophy. The subject is treated systematically by topic, not by individual thinker, school, or movement, thus enabling a much more historically nuanced picture of the period to be painted.

Le sel a profondément marqué la vie économique et sociale de l'actuelle République de Djibouti, au point qu'on l'a considéré comme l'or blanc du pays. Janus aux deux visages, tantôt il se présente comme un produit naturel, extrait de la banquise de sel qui borde le lac Assal ; tantôt, il a l'éclat des cristaux iodés livrés par les salines artificielles, créées dès l'aube du XXe siècle à Djibouti-ville. Faire l'histoire du sel de Djibouti, c'est étudier tant le site exceptionnel du lac Assal que l'environnement semi-industriel de Djibouti-ville. C'est également analyser, pour le XIXe et le XXe siècles, les stratégies aux dynamiques changeantes pour commercialiser le sel, l'unique richesse du territoire. C'est enfin s'intéresser aux sauniers, aux hommes libres exploitant, pour leur compte, les réserves naturelles du lac Blanc et aux travailleurs qu'ont recrutés plusieurs générations de firmes extractives. Décliner une histoire du sel, c'est étendre l'étude de la période précoloniale jusqu'aux temps immédiats, c'est inscrire l'historien dans les réalités passées et présentes.
