2021 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 1032130997 | PDF | 11 MB
Financial services and products underpin all aspects of our lives. We rely on bank accounts to deposit money, receive salaries and pay our bills. We use mortgages to purchase our homes, insurance to protect our assets, and pension policies to save for our future. Access to financial services is vital, yet many people are excluded from them. This book promotes financial knowledge and literacy. It focuses on the structure of the financial services industry, its key features, latest developments, and their impact on consumers' access and use of financial services products as well as the risks and financial opportunities. The book discusses a wide range of topics, including the impact of major aspects and changes in banking, such as closure of branches, Open Banking, digitalisation of banking; the rise of Fintech and its impact on products and services in banking, insurance and investment; the changes in the financial advice sector; the cause and effect of financial exclusion on consumers; the Government's role; the regulation of financial services and the types of consumer protection available. It also offers an international perspective, examining the industry in both a global and a UK context. The book is written for consumers, the general public, and university students, so that they can gain a better understanding of this important industry, make effective use of the financial products and services available, and exploit financial prospects to create wealth and build security for themselves and their families.

Anne Eason, "A Police Officer's Guide to Academic Research"
English | ISBN: 3031192850 | 2023 | 132 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book highlights how the practical skills of the police officer can be transferred into the realm of academic research and support them in becoming part of the evidence-based policing movement. It starts by exploring the professionalisation of the police service through higher education accreditation and the different methodologies of social research practice. Using operational comparisons and a little humour, it guides the reader through the swamp of concepts and processes, such as ethical approval, research paradigms and data gathering and analysis. It then takes them on a journey of reflection and reflexivity, challenging their own perspective on policing and working within the wider criminal justice sector and how they can make a valuable contribution to the development of policing practice.

David M. Odorisio, "A New Gnosis: Comic Books, Comparative Mythology, and Depth Psychology "
English | ISBN: 3031201264 | 2023 | 277 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Superhero phenomena exploded into 20th- and 21st-century popular culture by way of the visual medium of comic books. In an increasingly secular (yet spiritual) culture that has largely renounced "the gods" (and even religion), what does the return of the superhero through our own pop cultural mythologies say to us―or even about us? This collection of essays from leading and up-and-coming scholars in the fields of comparative mythology and depth psychology considers the return of the superhero as representative of our own unique emergent modern mythology: a wildly diverse pantheon that reflects back to us our most far-reaching hopes and (im)possible (super)human desires. In placing the interpretive tools of comparative mythology and depth psychology alongside the comic book phenomenon, a super-powered palette emerges that unveils the hidden potential of modern readers' own heightened imaginations. The essays in this anthology examine select comic book and superhero characters from the "Silver Age" 1960s through contemporary 21st-century adaptations and innovations, as readers are invited to discover and uncover what the (re)emergence of these perennial gods and goddesses have to say about our own secret super selves today.
