The Offshore RenminbiThe Rise of the Chinese Currency and Its Global FutureROBERT MINIKIN, KELVIN LAU

Description: The rise of the renminbi and what it means for forex markets

Chinese authorities have ambitious plans to “internationalize” the renminbi, transforming it from a tightly controlled domestic legal tender into a global currency for international trade, held by both private and public sector asset managers. The Offshore Renminbi examines this impending currency revolution, outlining why the emergence of China as a major economic power will likely soon be matched by a transformation of the renminbi’s role in the global fi nancial system. It explains how new markets for “offshore” renminbi are developing outside mainland China since the country is not yet ready to fully open up its economy to international capital fl ows, and the regulations that govern them.

• Explores how the “internationalization” of the renminbi is likely to yield a new global currency to rival the U.S. dollar

• Examines “offshore” renminbi and the host of new fi nancial markets they have created, from a spot FX market to Dim Sum bonds in Hong Kong

• Covers broad themes of interest to general readers and policymakers, as well as more detailed issues of practical and direct importance to corporate treasurers and investors

Market Sense and NonsenseWhy Almost Everything You Know About Investing Is WrongJACK D. SCHWAGER

Description: Bestselling author, Jack Schwager, challenges the assumptions at the core of investment theory and practice and exposes common investor mistakes, missteps, myths, and misreads

When it comes to investment theories, convenience always seems to trump reality. The simple fact is, many revered academic theories and investment models are simply wrong–if we insist that they work in the real world, that is. Unrealistic models notwithstanding, when you consider all the folklore, superstition, myth, personal biases and unsubstantiated beliefs investors and wealth managers, themselves, bring to the game, it’s a wonder more of them don’t lose their shirts. In this engaging new book, Jack Schwager, takes aim at the most perniciously pervasive academic precepts, money management canards, market myths and investor errors. Like so many ducks in a shooting gallery, Schwager picks them off, one at a time, revealing the truth about many of the fallacious thinking at the core of investment theory and practice.

• A compilation of the most insidious, fundamental investment errors the author has observed over his long and distinguished career in the markets

• Brings to light the fallacies underlying many widely held academic precepts, professional money management methodologies, and investment behaviors

• A sobering dose of real-world insight for investment professionals and a highly readable source of information and guidance for general readers interested in investment, trading, and fi nance

• Spans both traditional and alternative investment classes, covering both basic and advanced topics

IFRS EssentialsDieter Christian

Description: Practical workbook balances explanation of IFRS rules with their implementation by means of detailed examples. Over 60 percent of the book is example driven which means that the book gives real world illustrations and detailed solutions to aid learning. This approach makes the book unique and facilitates the quick understanding of the rules. By contrast, most other books only include a small(er) number of examples and consequently do not illustrate the application of the rules in practice effectively. IFRS Essentials strikers a balance between explaining the underlying theories and practical illustration of principles.

Marketing in the Participation AgeA Guide to Motivating People to Join, Share, Take Part, Connect, and EngageDAINA MIDDLETON

Description: Marketing in the Participation Age is based on the Intrinsic Motivation Theory that people are motivated to seek challenges, to discover new perspectives, and in doing so, the activity itself stimulates their desire to actualize their individual human potential. If a person is intrinsically motivated, they will choose to actively engage and participate and the experience will be rewarding. Social environments can be designed to facilitate and enable participation, or they can just as easily cause disruption and disinterest. This theory has been applied to psychology and education and now to marketing. Living by the principles of Marketing in the Participation Age will help companies edge out their competitors, and conscientiously plan their programs to activate a set of motivational elements that work together to inspire people to join, share, take part, connect, and engage.

Author Daina Middleton is a pioneer in the digital marketing space, a marketing professional with more than 20 years in the industry and the global CEO of Performics, the performance marketing division of Publicis Groupe and one of the largest and oldest search and performance media agencies.

Was Hitler Ill?A Final DiagnosisHenrik Eberle, Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Hans-Joachim Neumann, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin

Description: Two leading academics aim to answer one of the most controversial questions regarding Adolf Hitler in this absorbing study: was he ill? The image of a decrepit and drug-dependent psychopath in the Reich Chancellery bunker is one of the most enduring myths about Hitler.

Neumann and Eberle seek answers in the detailed notes and diaries left by Hitler’s personal physician Theo Morell, in medical reports, pharmacological analyses and interviews with eye witnesses and draw some defi nitive conclusions.

Falling Upward



Immortal DiamondThe Search for Our True SelfRichard Rohr

Description: In his bestselling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there’s a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation.
