"Designed to prepare family members to collectively manage, sustain, and grow their wealth across multiple generations, family offices can aid families in managing their tax, fiduciary, and compliance needs; assist in investment management, risk management, estate planning, and trust administration; provide support for philanthropic activities; conduct financial education programs for family members; and support family governance and wealth transfer and create continuity, cohesion, and purpose for families around their wealth. Those who may be familiar with the concept of the family office may not know how to identify whether it is right for their families or client families. This book will demystify the concept of the family office, clarify who should consider joining a multi-family office or starting their own single-family office; explain what services may be rendered by the office and what the expense to the family may be. This new edition will have updated data and new case studies/examples"-- |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Although serial killers are often thought to be a recent phenomenon, with accounts frequently beginning with Jack the Ripper, Felton aims to demonstrate that serial killers were nearly as common in the ancient world as they are in the modern one, using evidence from Greek and Roman history and folklore. She argues that the evidence from classical antiquity very strongly suggests that the existence of serial killers was recognized thousands of years ago and that, despite popular belief, serial murders are certainly not just a relatively recent development. Mythological monsters as well as human criminals described by ancient authors fit various serial killer profiles down to very specific details. This book investigates these stories and more to shed light on the centuries-old phenomenon of serial killing. Felton draws frequent comparisons to modern-day killers like Jeffrey Dahmer or John Wayne |
