“…This book describes the transformation in American finance from the old reputational model to the existing laissez faire model and argues that the change came as a result of three factors: (1) the growth of reliance on regulation rather than reputation as the primary mechanism for protecting customers and (2) the increasing complexity of regulation, which made technical expertise rather than reputation the primary criterion on which customers choose who to do business with in today's markets ; and (3) the rise of the 'cult of personality' on Wall Street, which has led to a secular demise in the relevance of companies' reputations and the concomitant rise of individual 'rain-makers' reputation as the basis for premium pricing of financial services. …”

“…The second part pursues that history from the classical encounter with mimesis in Greek thought to the Romantic and post-Romantic elevation of consciousness as a main criterion of poetic art.

“…In the succession of works in this printed version, the criterion that guided us was to highlight how—starting exclusively from chromatographic techniques (HPLC and GC) with conventional detectors and moving to exclusively spectroscopic techniques (MS, FT-IR and Raman)—it is possible arrive at extremely powerful coupled techniques and procedures (HPLC and FT-IR) able to meet research needs. …”

“…We used a top-box scoring method, calculated by dividing the number of patients fulfilling a criterion by the number of patients for whom the quality measure is appropriate, to calculate the percentage of positive responses. …”
