‘ ... the perfect introduction by an acknowledged linguistic expert.’

Observer

‘This is a fascinating and useful book ... a fine introduction for a wide variety of potential users.’

Choice

David Crystal’s classic English as a Global Language considers the history, present status and future of the English language, focusing on its role as the leading international language. English has been deemed the most ‘successful’ language ever, with 1,500 million speakers internationally, presenting a difficult task to those who wish to investigate it in its entirety. However, Crystal explores the subject in a measured but engaging way, always backing up observations with facts and figures. Written in a detailed and fascinating manner, this is a book written by an expert both for specialists in the subject and for general readers interested in the English language.

International Series on Actuarial Science

Financial Enterprise Risk Management

Financial Enterprise Risk Management provides all the

tools needed to build and maintain a comprehensive ERM

framework. As well as outlining the construction of such

frameworks, it discusses the internal and external contexts

within which risk management must be carried out. It also

covers a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques

that can be used to identify, model and measure risks, and

describes a range of risk mitigation strategies. Over 100

diagrams are used to help describe the range of approaches

available, and risk management issues are further

highlighted by various case studies. A number of proprietary,

advisory and mandatory risk management frameworks

are also discussed, including Solvency II, Basel III and ISO

31000:2009.

This book is an excellent resource for actuarial students

studying for examinations, for risk management

practitioners and for any academic looking for an up-to-date

reference to current techniques.

Turing‘an even-tempered, lovable character with an impish sense of humour and a modesty proof against all achievement.’

‘He thought so little of physical discomfort that he did not seem to apprehend in the least degree why we felt concerned about him, and refused all help.’

‘in a short life he accomplished much, and to the roll of great names in the history of his particular studies added his own.’

So is described one of the greatest figures of the 20th century, yet someone who was barely known beyond mathematical corridors till the revelations in the 1970s. it was then that Alan Turing’s critical contributions to the breaking of the german Enigma code and the development of computer science, along with the circumstances of his suicide at the height of his powers, became widely known.

From the rather odd, precocious, gauche boy through an adolescence in which his mathematical ability began to blossom, to the achievements of his maturity, the story of Turing’s life fascinates. in the years since his suicide, Turing’s reputation has only grown, as his contributions to logic, mathematics, computing, artificial intelligence and computational biology have become better appreciated. To commemorate the centenary of Turing’s birth, this republication of his mother’s biography, unavailable for many years, is enriched by a new foreword by Martin Davis and a never-before-published memoir by Alan’s older brother. The contrast between this memoir and the original biography reveals tensions and sheds new light on Turing’s relationship with his family, and on the man himself.
