"Institutions and ownership play a central role in the transformation and development of the beer market and the brewing industry. Institutions set the external environment of the brewery through both formal requirements, and the informal acceptance of these companies' operations by the public, whereas the owners and their managers on the other hand, adapt to these external challenges, but also follow their own agenda in setting up strategies for innovation, marketing, take over, etc. The 13 chapters cover changes in a range of institutions, such as excise tax, zoning regulation, trade liberalization, consumer's habit and their taste for beer and sales regulation of alcohol. The responses from the breweries have included a craft beer revolution with a surge in demand of special flowered hops, a globalization strategy from the macro breweries, outsourcing by contract brewing and knowledge exchange for small sized breweries etc. The book consists of two parts, The first part includes chapters primarily focusing on institutions, whereas the chapters in the second part take mainly an ownership perspective. The book's contribution lies primarily in an analysis of the link between institutions and governance, where the analysis point to how the most successful breweries have adapted to the external changes in institutions in the brewery sector"--

Nickel is an internationally traded commodity and the smallest of the LME's six base metals contracts. Its unique characteristics allow a variety of commercial and industrial applications, the most important of which is undoubtedly in the production of stainless steels. Simon Clow has set out to paint an overall picture of the nickel trade; the result is a book which genuinely covers the entire industry. It describes the history and growth, defines areas of production and explains the mechanisms of demand and consumption. Above all the book is concerned with patterns of supply, with prices and with attitudes towards different pricing mechanisms.

Pulp and Paper Industry: Chemical Recovery examines the scientific and technical advances that have been made in chemical recovery, including the very latest developments. It looks at general aspects of the chemical recovery process and its significance, black liquor evaporation, black liquor combustion, white liquor preparation, and lime reburning. The book also describes the technologies for chemical recovery of nonwood black liquor, as well as direct alkali regeneration systems in small pulp mills. In addition, it includes a discussion of alternative chemical recovery processes, i.e. alternative causticization and gasification processes, and the progress being made in the recovery of filler, coating color, and pigments. Furthermore, it discusses the utilization of new value streams (fuels and chemicals) from residuals and spent pulping liquor, including related environmental challenges.
