Producing the wildlife blockbuster -- 10. Afterword.This book explores the history of wildlife television in post-war Britain. It revolves around the role of David Attenborough, whose career as a broadcaster and natural history filmmaker has shaped British wildlife television. The book discusses aspects of Attenborough's professional biography and also explores elements of the institutional history of the BBC-from the early 1960s, when it was at its most powerful, to the 2000s, when its future is uncertain. It focuses primarily on the wildlife 'making-of' documentary genre, which is used to trace how television progressively became a participant in the production of knowledge about nature. With the inclusion of analysis of television programmes, first-hand accounts, BBC archival material and, most notably, interviews with David Attenborough, this volume follows the development of the professional culture of wildlife broadcasting as it has been portrayed in public. It will be of interest to wildlife television amateurs, historians of British television and students in science communication. .Palgrave Studies in Science and Popular Culture,2731-4367CommunicationCultureStudy and teachingDocumentary filmsEthnologyGreat BritainCultureMotion picture industryTelevision broadcastingAnimal migrationMedia and CommunicationCultural StudiesDocumentary StudiesBritish CultureFilm and Television IndustryAnimal MigrationCommunication.CultureStudy and teaching.Documentary films.EthnologyCulture.Motion picture industry.Television broadcasting.Animal migration.Media and Communication.Cultural Studies.Documentary Studies.British Culture.Film and Television Industry.Animal Migration.301791.45094109045Gouyon Jean-Baptisteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1226554MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910485000603321BBC Wildlife Documentaries in the Age of Attenborough2847951UNINA03729nam 22005175 450 991055688530332120251113201735.09783030879228(electronic bk.)978303087921110.1007/978-3-030-87922-8(MiAaPQ)EBC6941370(Au-PeEL)EBL6941370(CKB)21435633400041(DE-He213)978-3-030-87922-8(EXLCZ)992143563340004120220328d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierFixed Income Investing A Classic in a Time of Increased Uncertainty /by Thomas Poufinas1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2022.1 online resource (748 pages)Print version: Poufinas, Thomas Fixed Income Investing Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030879211 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Bonds and Regulation.Fixed income investments have been a topic of broad interest, in particular for institutional investors such as insurance companies and pensions schemes. They were considered safe heavens in turbulent times by almost all other institutional and individual investors and are used for strategies such as portfolio immunization and asset liability matching (ALM). The latest crisis, however, revealed some of the weaknesses of fixed income instruments. They proved to be not as safe as originally thought with both credit and interest rate risks emerging. Consequently, fixed income investments have been in the spotlight once more. This book presents all aspects pertaining to fixed income investments, starting from the basics—i.e. the types of bonds, their valuation, the interest rate term structure—then moving to fixed income portfolio management and the interest rate and credit derivatives and their relevant markets, funds, risks and risk management. Finally, the book addresses contemporary issues such as their behavior in times of crisis, their relation to debt, their coexistence with equity and the current regulatory environment. This book, providing a look at the broader environment of fixed income alongside the current market structure, will be of interest to students, academics, researchers and practitioners in fixed income and investing strategies.
