This book explores the need to develop business strategies, organise and fund transformation projects and manage the transformation programme in order to further a circular economy. Circular Business Models outlines sustainable business models that can be used by companies to move transformation forward on a large scale. In addition to business models the book will cover and discuss a number of other factors necessary for a successful transformation, such as business and innovation strategy, entrepreneurship and change management. Including original interviews with circular economy practitioners, this book will be applicable to industries as diverse as manufacturing, food processing, transportation and mechanical engineering. Addressing the different challenges that meet circular economy visionaries, it outlines strategies and business models needed to gain momentum in these different sectors.

This book explores the Swedish experience of banking development, regulation and financial crisis from 1900 to 2015. It puts the experiences of the past in the context of today’s debate on the future of banking, and argues that the experiences of the Global Financial Crisis that started in 2007 warrants new understandings of the role of bank regulation. The book also analyses how shifts in bank regulations are usually part of more general policy shifts in society, which are in turn connected to both pragmatic and ideological considerations. In the case of Sweden the shift towards more extensive bank regulations after World War II was closely related to the development of the welfare state. Such shifts in policy and regulations are generally international, and the book also explores how the Swedish national policy has interacted with international developments.

Genom att följa två ungdomsvänner på en resa genom Europa tar vi del av insikt efter insikt, ur ett historiskt perspektiv, som succesivt målar upp ett scenario som inte är hållbart. Det står snart klart att någon måste driva ett målmedvetet arbete för att få till en förändring på bred front. Frågan är vem som ska axla detta ansvar och hur det ska gå till …Detta är en berättelse om livet, det som flyter genom oss alla och passerar i många skepnader. Vi kan inte fly, bara följa med och så gott vi förmår försöka påverka flödet att gå i en ny riktning, en som är bättre. Och något mer hoppfull.

THIS IS THE UNBELIEVABLE STORY OF WHEN A RAW, DIRTY AND EXPLOSIVE BAND FROM AUSTRALIA VISITED AN UNEXPECTING SWEDEN FOR THE FIRST TIME! IN JULY 1976, AC/DC S DID THEIR FIRST SWEDISH TOUR. Being relatively unknown, the band was booked in some very unlikely venues for a blistering hard rock band. Thrown in between dance bands in countryside dance halls as well as gigging by the motorcycle Grand Prix, these shows make up A FASCINATING AND COLOURFUL PART OF THE BAND S EARLY HISTORY. Through dozens of interviews with the audience, promoters, dance band musicians as well as Mark Evans, the five gig tour is recreated, bringing you never before heard stories of shocked audiences, mesmerized teenagers and A BAND READY TO CONQUER THE WORLD, no matter how weird the gig. Illustrated in colour. 208 pages. BONUS! This first edition contains A UNIQUE 12-PHOTO KIT featuring Angus in Stockholm by photographer Hans Hatwig. The photos from this session are the only ones known to be taken during the tour.

Under drygt två årtionden under artonhundratalets mitt genomgick vårt land en rad genomgripande reformer på skilda områden. Med dem lades grunden för det moderna Sverige och den närmast ofattbart snabba ökning i levnadsstandard som omfattade inte bara en smal elit, utan hela samhället. Ett avgörande moment i den processen blev införandet av den allmänna näringsfriheten 1864. År 2014 blir det 150 år sedan förordningen trädde i kraft. Denna bok är en bred beskrivning av den svenska ekonomiska historien och den ger långsiktiga perspektiv på sammanhangen och krafterna i historien, förr och nu. Ett stort och inspirerande verk. Rikt illustrerad med intresseväckande faktarutor och ett unikt bildmaterial. Boken är ett samarbete mellan Centrum för Näringslivshistoria och Dialogos förlag. Författarna är ekonomhistoriker, Mats Larsson, Lars Magnusson och Tom Pettersson vid Uppsala universitet, Lena Andersson-Skog vid Umeå universitet samt Peter Sandberg och Oscar Broberg vid Göteborgs universitet.

Dissociative recombination (DR) of molecular ions with electrons is a complex, poorly understood molecular process. Its critical role as a neutralising agent in the Earth's upper atmosphere is now well established and its occurrence in many natural and laboratory-produced plasma has been a strong motivation for studying the event. In this book theoretical concepts, experimental methodology and applications are united, revealing the governing principles behind the gas-phase reaction. The book takes the reader through the intellectual challenges posed, describing in detail dissociation mechanisms, dynamics, diatomic and polyatomic ions and related processes, including dissociative excitation, ion pair formation and photodissociation. With the final chapter dedicated to applications in astrophysics, atmospheric science, plasma physics and fusion research, this is a focused, definitive guide to a fundamental molecular process. The book will appeal to academics within physics, physical chemistry and related sciences.
