    Principal and Emerging Business Risks

    This book provides listed and limited companies with guidance on the preparation of Principal and Emerging Risks critical to their longevity, performance, reputation and profitability. Principal Risks are not prepared in a vacuum, and hence their context is described in terms of a risk strategy, policy, framework and process-as well as the roles and responsibilities of the Board, the Audit and Risk Committee, and business units-and the risk function (against the backdrop of the UK Corporate Governance Code 2024). It looks at the rationale for the selection of the Principal Risks to report, who the prime audience is, readership and the message they provide. The book examines the format of Principal Risks, how they are reported year on year and the reliance that investors can place on transparency. Evidence has shown, following high-profile company collapses, that companies that have not given adequate attention to their Principal and Emerging Risks have paid a very heavy price. Principal and Emerging Business Risks will be invaluable to Board members (including non-executive directors), Audit and Risk Committee members, enterprise risk management directors and managers, and risk champions supporting both UK companies listed on the London Stock Exchange Main and AIM markets and limited companies.

    1. James , Chapman

The book includes case studies of such famous Holmes impersonators as William Gillette, Basil Rathbone, Peter Cushing, Jeremy Brett and Benedict Cumberbatch, as well as charting a path through many lesser-known productions. From early cinema to the Hollywood studio system, and from heritage drama to contemporary postmodern television, Screening Sherlock is an indispensible work for all aficionados of Arthur Conan Doyle's consulting detective of Baker Street.

  12. Celestial Signs and Classical Rhetoric in Early Imperial China
    1. Jesse J. , Chapman

    Celestial Signs and Classical Rhetoric in Early Imperial China

    Considers how sign-reading fit into broader understandings of the human and cosmic worlds in Han times.Celestial Signs and Classical Rhetoric in Early Imperial China considers how the reading of celestial signs-including comets, strange clouds, halos, rainbows, and planets in retrograde motion-fit into broader understandings of the human and cosmic worlds in Han times. Advancing a cultural studies approach to celestial signs, Jesse J. Chapman traces the theory and practice of sign-reading across a range of genres, including technical manuals, historical narratives, and memorials to the throne. Moving from variegated materials in an early tomb to historical treatises compiled over several centuries, Chapman demonstrates that rhetoric and ideals drawn from classical texts gradually became fundamental sources of authority for interpreters of celestial signs. Sign-reading in practice proved both flexible and context-dependent, and interpreters of celestial signs rarely, if ever, read omens in isolation. Celestial signs became meaningful in the context of historical understanding, personal experience, the state of the empire, and the life of the court. Reading omens meant reading the state of the world at a particular moment in time.
