  • This book bridges the gap between theoretical machine learning (ML) and its practical application in industry. It serves as a handbook for shipping production-grade ML systems, addressing challenges often overlooked in academic texts. Drawing on their experience at several major corporations and startups, the authors focus on real-world scenarios, guiding practitioners through the ML lifecycle, from planning and data management to model deployment and optimization. They highlight common pitfalls and offer interview-based case studies from companies that illustrate diverse industrial applications and their unique challenges. Multiple pathways through the book allow readers to choose which stage of the ML development process to focus on, as well as the learning strategy ('crawl,' 'walk,' or 'run') that best suits the needs of their project or team.

Carbon Colonialism
  • How rich countries export climate breakdown

    16 January 2026
  • Around the world, leading economies are announcing significant progress on climate change. World leaders are queuing up to proclaim their commitment to tackling the climate crisis, pointing to data that show the progress they have made. Yet the atmosphere is warming at a record rate. Arctic sea ice is reaching record low levels. Climate-linked poverty and precarity are rapidly increasing. Why, then, are the green achievements of the rich world not matched by the reality on the ground? As this book argues, the complexity of our globalised economy allows our worst environmental impacts to happen out of sight and out of mind. Rich nations’ environmental footprints are now primarily generated overseas, where limited regulation makes it increasingly easy to conceal. The result is a system of carbon colonialism, in which emissions, waste and environmental degradation are exported from rich countries to poor ones as the price of economic growth.

Expansion rebellion
  • Using the law to fight a runway and save the planet

  • Can the UK expand Heathrow Airport, bringing in an extra 700 planes a day, and still stay within ambitious carbon budgets? One legal case sought to answer this question. Campaigning lawyers argued that plans for a third runway at one of the world’s busiest airports would jeopardise the UK’s ability to meet its commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change. The judicial review was the first time the ambitious 1.5°C temperature limit had been tested in court. In February 2020 the campaigners won at the Court of Appeal, but in December that year the Supreme Court threw out that judgment. This book traces the dramatic story of how the case was prepared at a time that the UK sought to project itself as a climate leader. An analysis of its legal significance as the UK strives for Net Zero, the book asks why international aviation has for so long avoided meaningful restrictions on its greenhouse gas emissions.

  • USS Clark (FFG-11) was the fifth ship of the Oliver Hazard Perry class of guided-missile frigates.

    The ships were designed in the United States in the mid-1970s as general-purpose escort vessels inexpensive enough to be bought in large quantities to replace World War II-era destroyers and 1960s-era frigates.

    Intended to protect convoys, landing forces, supply and replenishment groups.

    The frigate was ordered from Bath Iron Works on 27 February 1976 as part of the FY76 program, Clark was laid down on 17 July 1978, launched on 24 March 1979, and commissioned on 9 May 1980. Decommissioned and stricken on 15 March 2000, she was handed over to Poland that same day to become the Polish Navy's Gen. K. Pulaski.

  • Although the asset management industry has come under increasing scrutiny since the financial crisis it still remains poorly understood and investment scandals continue to headline in the financial press. Whereas most literature on the industry focuses on the technical end - how managers invest and what tips others can glean - this book explores the way these businesses operate as businesses and how they make their money.

    The book explains how the industry is organized, how firms generate revenues through various types of fund, fees and charges and what cost pressures they face. It investigates the nature of their client relationships, the role played by star investors and the requirement for firms to integrate non-financial considerations into their investment process. The inherent tensions and potential conflicts of interest within asset managers that seek to keep both clients and shareholders happy is also examined. The book concludes by considering how the industry is evolving, the role of regulation and where it is struggling to change.

    Suitable for students of business and finance, those working in allied areas of the finance sector, and for anyone with a general interest in how financial institutions and markets operate, the book offers readers a balanced and incisive guide to the economics of an industry that globally controls more than $100 trillion of financial assets and a critical appraisal of the sector's future.

  • The data that professional sport generates, which is almost unparalleled in any other industry, provides a wealth of information for the economist to analyse. Sport offers economists the opportunity to study the behaviour, choices and outcomes of the decisions of players, referees, regulators and governments.

    Advances in Sports Economics is a collection of newly commissioned essays that examine a wide range of different sports, including baseball, basketball, cricket, football, horse racing, rugby, tennis and Gaelic games. The contributors consider economic issues such as incentives, rule changes, labour markets, competition structure, gambling, gender equality, match official behaviour, superstar players, funding and sports infrastructure as well as interrogating the methods and theories used in sports economics.

    The essays showcase how the application of economic analysis can provide us with a better understanding of the mechanics of professional sport.
