Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Damages 

Calculations: A Trans-Atlantic Dialogue 

Synopsis 


ISBN: 9781848553026 

Publication date: 1 July 2009 

Format: Hardback 

Dimensions: 152 x 229 mm 

Pages: 300 

Price: GBP £64.95, EUR €97.95, USD $124.95 

The volume focuses on litigation damages, economic and non-economic, including 

punitive damages; their definitions, calculations, and assignments in the USA and EU. The 

objective is to examine areas of convergence and divergence in the academic and 

practical treatment of damages issues in the USA and EU. Many of the chapters in the 

volume are drawn from the papers and discussions generated at the Trans-Atlantic 

Dialogue meetings of the National Association of Forensic Economics that began in 

Edinburgh, Scotland, in 2004. That meeting focused on the development of the “Ogden” 

multipliers for calculating damages mandated for consideration by UK Courts in 1999. The 

2005 meetings (Dublin, Ireland) centred on Markov methodologies used in the USA for 

generating work-life tables and their adoption into damages multipliers, punitive damages, 

and the process of Irish tort reform. In 2006 discussions in Florence, Italy, focused on 

methods for calculating non-economic damages in the USA and EU as well as the 

process of harmonization of tort law within the EU. Most recently, the 2007 discussions in 

Barcelona, Spain, dealt with comparisons of scheduled damages systems in the USA and 

the EU.

Early Warning and Quick Response: Accounting in the 

21st Century 

Synopsis 

ISBN: 9781848556447 

Publication date: 1 June 2009 



Pages: 96 


This book contends that the current accounting model, which is used world-wide, and the 

current accounting standard-setting process are seriously deficient. The book describes 

the deficiencies in a historical context and proposes two complete new models to correct 

the deficiencies. One is an accounting model called the “wealth measurement early 

warning model”. The other is a standard-setting process model called the “quick response 

model”. The new models are revolutionary and controversial. They are revolutionary in 

the sense of imposing extensive changes on the accounting establishment, but also 

because they have three characteristics that are totally absent in the current system: 

1. They are simple to understand and apply 

2. They are quick to answer questions about new situations 

3. They are reflective of economic events as they occur.

Fisheries Management: Pandemic Failure, Workable

Synopsis 


Edited by: Giulio Pontecorvo 

ISBN: 9781848552166 




Pages: 304 


Today, important fisheries have become commercially extinct and others are threatened. 

The dominant presence of this scientific uncertainty indicates the need to rethink the 

existing fishery management system. This book examines in detail the underlying root 

causes of our failure to successfully manage the fishery resources of the world’s oceans 

and offers alternative solutions that will allow human society to maximize the long-term 

benefits from ocean resources. This monograph will be of great interest to academics in 

economics, business, environmental sciences and sociology, in addition to the core 

market of natural resources management, environmental policy, resource conservation, 

economic development and geography. In addition, it is relevant for those working in 

fisheries management for government bodies and NGOs.

This proposed volume will provide state-of-the art reviews of health care management, 

linking concerns about health care workforce management with health care organization 

management issues. This meso perspective, linking micro and macro organizational 

processes, should appeal to health care management researchers and doctoral students. 

Review articles in this volume will orient new and established scholars about current 

themes within health care management, as well as emerging themes and divergent views. 

The authors evaluate these future directions and offer their perspective on the direction or 

directions that would help build theory and improve the practice of health care 

management. Specifically, the volume will focus both on health care workforce 

management issues, including allied health professionals, nurses, and physicians, and on 

health care organization management issues, ranging from organizational governance and 

strategy to the globalization of health care organizations information and knowledge

Managing Foreign Subsidiaries: Headquarters Role, 

Capability Development, and China Operations 

Synopsis 

ISBN: 9781848556669 




Pages: 300 


A major development in recent research on the multinational enterprise (MNE) is the 

increased attention given to the interdependent, differentiated roles of the subsidiaries and 

their implications for MNE and subsidiary management. Paralleling this development is 

the shift away from studying subsidiaries as subunits to be controlled by the headquarters 

to investigating what subsidiaries do and how their activities can help develop firm-specific 

advantages. 

This volume includes contributions from leading scholars in the field from North America, 

Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Different from the traditional, single-discipline-based 

investigation, it presents a multi-disciplinary approach to researching subsidiary dynamics 

and its effective management, with a focus on three important issues: the role of the 

headquarters within the context of subsidiaries as members of a differentiated, 

interdependent network; the development of subsidiary capabilities and their impact on 

firm performance; and subsidiaries as learning agents for the MNE, particularly in 

emerging markets such as China.

Utterance Interpretation and Cognitive Models 

Synopsis 


ISBN: 9781848556508 




Pages: 266 


This book, Utterance Interpretation and Cognitive Models, is a collection of papers that 

stems from the conference of the same name held at the Free University of Brussels in 

June 2006. Our main objective is to reconcile armchair theorising about the semanticspragmatics 

interface with hypotheses about cognitive architecture. For that reason, the 

papers in the collection place some of the hottest questions in contemporary philosophy of 

language within the scope of a psychologically plausible theory of human communication. 

The collection is articulated into three parts. The first concerns the cognitive counterparts 

of lexical meanings. The second explores the links between moods and forces. The third 

looks at the epistemological status of semantic theory from the point of view of human 

psychology.

Studying Differences between Organizations: 

Comparative Approaches to Organizational Research 

Synopsis 

ISBN: 9781848556461 




Pages: 300 


This volume is motivated by key questions and challenges associated with reviving and 

developing a comparative perspective. One organizing theme of the volume is to present 

comparative analysis as a means to explain and describe organizational heterogeneity, at 

varying levels and in varying contexts. While much empirical work looks for the sources of 

homogeneity within fields, industries, etc., we believe that one advantage of doing 

comparative analysis is to make assessments of the observed differences between 

organizations. Thus, we have asked all the authors to consider how their style of 

comparative analysis enhances our understanding of organizational heterogeneity. The 

volume consists of two sections: an introductory essay section and a section where 

authors focus on specific theoretical, methodological and empirical topics. A couple of 

papers are original empirical analyses that use a comparative logic or method. We expect 

that each paper, in addition to providing a theoretical contribution, will offer a metadiscussion 

that explains how taking a comparative approach enhances our understanding 

of the phenomenon of interest.
