William Miller's absorbing chronicle of life in the year following World War I re-creates the mood of ebullience that characterized the Unites States in 1919. The country had just won the Great War, powerful new machines were readily available, and life seemed carefree. The new ways foretold the end of an era, the author believes, and the innocence and wonder that characterized that year were 'pretty bubbles' that would soon burst or drift out of reach.

The value of a bank is a complex and involved topic. Dertermining value requires an understanding of the purposed of the valuation, the underlying business, the assets involved, the outlook for the market served, competitive position, financial history, and a host of other factors. For example, establishing the value based solely on a bank's book value is a convenient shorthand, but not a good technique of establishing actual value. Regardless of the potential need for a proper valuation, commercial banks and bank holding companies have several characteristics that distinguishe them from other types of businesses and that influence the application of valuation techniques. It is critical to bear these in mind during the valuation process. Provides a thorough and practical discussion of valuation and techniques that apply to the banking and financial services industry. By necessity, however, the scope of the discussion goes beyond valuation. It is necessary to understand various transactional processes (e.g., the merger &amp; acquisition process), target bank analysis, tax ramification, and specific accounting rules, in addition to valuation methodology. Consequently, this title is a beneficial primer for those with only a cursory knowledge of banking and valuation as well as a useful reference for seasoned professionals.

New for the third edition, chapters on: Complete Exercise of the SE Process, System Science and Analytics and The Value of Systems Engineering The book takes a model-based approach to key systems engineering design activities and introduces methods and models used in the real world. This book is divided into three major parts: (1) Introduction, Overview and Basic Knowledge, (2) Design and Integration Topics, (3) Supplemental Topics. The first part provides an introduction to the issues associated with the engineering of a system. The second part covers the critical material required to understand the major elements needed in the engineering design of any system: requirements, architectures (functional, physical, and allocated), interfaces, and qualification. The final part reviews methods for data, process, and behavior modeling, decision analysis, system science and analytics, and the value of systems engineering. Chapter 1 has been rewritten to integrate the new chapters and updates were made throughout the original chapters. <ul>
<li>Provides an overview of modeling, modeling methods associated with SysML, and IDEF0</li> <li>Includes a new Chapter 12 that provides a comprehensive review of the topics discussed in Chapters 6 through 11 via a simple system – an automated soda machine</li> <li>Features a new Chapter 15 that reviews General System Theory, systems science, natural systems, cybernetics, systems thinking, quantitative characterization of systems, system dynamics, constraint theory, and Fermi problems and guesstimation</li> <li>Includes a new Chapter 16 on the value of systems engineering with five primary value propositions: systems as a goal-seeking system, systems engineering as a communications interface, systems engineering to avert showstoppers, systems engineering to find and fix errors, and systems engineering as risk mitigation</li> </ul>
