The equity premium in 100 textbooks
No full textI review 100 finance and valuation textbooks published between 1979 and 2008 by authors such as Brealey and Myers, Copeland, Damodaran, Merton, Ross, Bruner, Bodie, Penman, Weston, Brigham and Arzac and find that their recommendations regarding the equity premium range from 3% to 10%. I also find that several books use different equity premia on different pages. Some of the confusion arises from not distinguishing among the four concepts that the term equity premium designates: historical equity premium, expected equity premium, required equity premium and implied equity premium. Finance textbooks should clarify the equity premium by providing distinguishing definitions of these four concepts and conveying a clearer message about their sensible magnitudes.equity premium; equity premium puzzle; required market risk premium; historical market risk premium; expected market risk premium; risk premium; market risk premium; market premium;

Sakura’s Cherry Blossoms by R. Weston
No full textWeston, Robert Paul. Illus. Misa Saburi. Sakura’s Cherry Blossoms. Tundra Books, 2018.Sakura, a little girl whose name means “cherry blossom”, shares picnics and stories with her grandmother under the cherry blossom tree near their home in Japan. When Sakura and her mother and father immigrate to North America while her grandmother remains in Japan, the little girl deals with the challenges of adjusting to life in a new country and grieving when her grandmother dies. As the seasons change and spring returns, Sakura comes to understand her grandmother’s wisdom about the importance of friendship. Themes of intergenerational relationships, mourning the loss of a family member, cross-cultural friendships, and the healing power of time all are represented in this book.Author Robert Paul Weston uses a poetry approach to storytelling, a call-back one of his earlier books, Zorgamazoo. This time, the author presents Sakura’s Cherry Blossoms as a series of Tanka, a traditional Japanese non-rhyming form of poetry whose spare and brief structure is well-suited to depicting each event in the story. Weston includes an explanation of Tanka at the end of the book and encourages young readers to create their own poems following this format.The text and illustrations introduce readers to linguistic and cultural aspects of Japan, including traditional foods, clothing, games, and names. It captures the sense of loneliness, disconnection and culture shock people can experience in a new environment, and gently depicts the gradual healing process, culminating in Sakura blossoming with renewed energy, wisdom, and happiness.Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Maria TanMaria is a health sciences librarian at the University of Alberta and a former editorial team member of the Deakin Review.

Catacombs and Courtship: Life Imitates the Gothic in Northanger Abbey
No full textFrom the Faculty Nominator: I've always thought that the experience of reading really good literary criticism has a lot in common with the experience of reading really good literature. In each case, the author draws you in right from the beginning. Maybe the title piques your curiosity; maybe it's the first line or something in the first paragraph. Before long, anyway, you settle happily into the familiar feeling of being off on a journey, ready for discovery. No sooner have you begun to think about an objection than your author anticipates your reaction and addresses it. Each new stage of the piece, including its ending, strikes you as being, paradoxically, both surprising and just right. Things come together in a way you couldn't have predicted yet that nevertheless makes perfect sense. When you finish, you want to begin again in order to appreciate the piece even more; you also want to recommend it to everyone you know. That's how I feel about Weston Kulvete's "Catacombs and Courtship" as well as about Northanger Abbey, the Jane Austen novel that Weston writes about. Both the essay and the novel start off strong with memorable titles and great introductions. (For those of you unacquainted with Austen's novel, it begins, "No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy, would have supposed her born to be an heroine.") Both feature distinctive authorial voices full of humor, which is notoriously tricky to manage in academic writing. Both leave you full of admiration for the authors' inventiveness, as well as the care they took on every level. Weston wrote his essay for ENG 200: Close Reading, Analytical Writing, a course that-unusually for English literature classes-stresses the value of students' learning from each other's critical writing. Thanks to Verge, you too now have that opportunity.http://blogs.goucher.edu/verge/10-2
