Bücher von Robert Brooks

Kinder und Jugendliche fürs Leben stärken!Was können Eltern tun, um ihre Kinder für die Belastungen des Lebens zu stärken? Wie kommt es, dass ein Kind eine Niederlage gut wegsteckt, ein anderes da­gegen daran zerbricht? Wieso gelingt es manchen Kindern, aus Krisen sogar gestärkt hervorzugehen? Welche Eigenschaften bringen diese Kinder mit, und welche Weichen für seelische Widerstandskraft werden schon in der Kindheit gestellt? Diesen und weiteren Fragen widmen sich die erfahrenen Kindertherapeuten Robert Brooks und Sam Goldstein. Schritt für Schritt erklären sie, was Eltern und Erzieher:innen dafür tun können, dass die Kinder 'stark' werden und die entscheidenden Ressourcen erwerben, die es ihnen ermöglichen, ihre Lebensbelastungen erfolgreich zu bewältigen.'Eine meisterhafte Zusammenstellung aktuellen Wissens zum Umgang mit Belastungen und Stress. Sie enthält wohldurchdachte Empfehlungen für Eltern, die ihren Kindern helfen wollen, mit belastenden Umständen umzugehen.'  Emmy E. Werner, Ph. D., die Grande Dame der Resilienzforschung

Radical developments in financial management, spurred by improvements in computer technology, have created demand for people who can use modern financial techniques combined with computer skills such as C++. Dr. Brooks gives readers the ability to express derivative solutions in an attractive, user-friendly format, and the ability to develop a permanent software package containing them. His book explains in detail how to write C++ source code and at the same time explains derivative valuation problems and methods. Entry level as well as experienced financial professionals have already found that the ability to understand and write C++ code has greatly enhanced their careers. This is an important hands-on training resource for practitioners and a clearly presented textbook for graduate-level students in business and finance.Dr. Brooks combines object-oriented C++ programming with modern derivatives technology and provides numerous examples to illustrate complex derivative applications. He covers C++ within the text and the Borland C++Builder program, on which the book is based, in extensive appendices. His book combines basic C++ coding with fundamental finance problems, illustrates traditional techniques for solving more complicated problems, and develops the reader's ability to express complex mathematical solutions in the object-oriented framework of C++. It also reviews derivative solutions techniques and illustrates them with C++ code, reviews general approaches to valuing interest rate contingent claims, and focuses on practical ways to implement them. The result is a book that trains readers simultaneously in the substance of its field, financial derivatives, and the programming of solutions to problems in it.
