SpecificationsAbout the Author Igor Pejic is the Head of Marketing at BNP Paribas PF AT part of Europes largest banking group. A former business journalist the author regularly comments on payments transactions and the blockchain in the media. He was voted by McKinsey and The Financial Times as one of three finalists in the Bracken Bower Prize with his work on blockchain in 2016 which has resulted in this book.Author 1 Igor PejicBook Description Blockchain is the technology behind bitcoin and other crypto-currencies. According to Santander it could save financial institutions $15-20bn a year from 2022 onward. Most experts see an unprecedented potential but many banks payment processors and credit card companies fret that bitcoin entrepreneurs could cast a pall over their core business. Whatever the position of blockchain many voices are shouting from different angles creating a cacophony of confusion including tech-evangelists anarcho-libertarians and industry experts. But while everybody in IT and banking seems to have an opinion on the blockchain there is little systematic research no strategic analysis. Blockchain Babel is the ultimate guide to the most disruptive technology to have entered the finance industry in recent years. Blockchain Babel looks at blockchain alongside innovation diffusion competitive dynamics and management strategy. Shortlisted as one of the three best business book proposals by McKinsey and the Financial Times for the Bracken Bower Prize in 2016 this is a must-read for business leaders and aspiring leaders wanting to grasp blockchain and put it into context and understand the practical implications it may have.Editorial Review The number of publications on blockchain technology coming out every day can be measured in meters of bookshelves right now. All the more remarkable is Igor Peijcs book as it is highly informative full of substance and - engaging to read at the same time despite the subjects complexity. Whether you want to get a good overview or dig in deep into the matter - you can get both out of this book. After reading Blockchain will no longer be a myth to you.--Barbara Stoettinger Dean WU Executive Academy "In his riveting yet analytic account of blockchain Igor Pejic is shaping a new understanding of the technology that will transform banking and business. Blockchain Babel is a powerful compass to navigate the vast seas of crypto-literature."--Jurgen Kob FinFluencer "Blockchain Babel is well titled alluding to a tower connecting earth to heaven and frustrated through a confusion of voices. Pejics book helps attenuate that confusion through a comprehensive assessment of the complex path of how blockchain technologys promise vs reality is developing in practice."--Keith Bear VP at IBM Financial Markets and Fellow at Centre for Alternative Finance Judge Business School University of Cambridge "Blockchain Babel separates the signal from the noise.

SpecificationsAbout the Author Giovanni Civardi was born in Milan in 1947. While training to become a sculptor portrait artist and illustrator at the Free Life-Study School of the Accademia di Brera he also studied medicine and surgery. For over a decade he worked as an illustrator producing commissions for newspapers magazines and book covers. During frequent trips to France and Denmark Civardi put on one-man exhibitions of his work and pursued his interest in studying the relationship between medical anatomy and the human form as depicted by the artist. His experience gained from teaching anatomy life drawing and portraiture in schools and institutions over many years has led to the publication of numerous books in which Civardis experiences are brought into focus.Author 1 Giovanni CivardiBook Description For admirers of the world renowned life-drawer and for those who have struggled to capture the ever-changing features of younger faces. This book by Giovanni Civardi will teach and guide the reader to observe evaluate and recreate childrens heads and expressions. With his expert knowledge in anatomy and proportion he provides a number of tips and techniques on sketching and the different materials with which one can use. Civardi will inspire both beginners and the more advanced to tackle and successfully draw portraits of babies up to children aged six or seven years old.Editorial Review March 17 Not only is Civardi an experienced portrait artist and illustrator he also studied medicine and surgery so is very well placed to teach beginners and more experienced artists the art of anatomy and proportion. Using his wealth of knowledge and a wealth of tips and techniques Civardi shows us -with maximum illustration and minimum text - how to observe evaluate and recreate childrens portraits from babies up to six or seven years old. * The Leisure Painter * The sheer variety of this ongoing series is breathtaking as is the quality that actually seems to improve with time. Children are difficult subjects not least because theyre hardly ever still and Giovanni acknowledges this with a short section on the use of photography. As ever the main part of the book is a series of worked examples that demonstrate techniques with children of all ages - as the title implies. What is particularly impressive is the depth of character that Giovanni manages to get into his work. Children are very much a work in progress and features expressions and poses are constantly fluid. Picking the right moment is very much an exercise in observation and Giovanni is also sound on this - its getting to know your subject as you should but in particular detail. Although this is not an in-depth study of a what is certainly a complex subject it is nevertheless an excellent primer that includes much more than its 64 pages implies. * Artbookreview.net * Summer 2017 In this latest book by Giovanni Civardi the detail of sensitive pencil work adds immesurably to its usefulness. Books on portraiture are not particularly thick on the ground and those on children even less so maybe because children are a difficult subject hard to persuade to keep still; a photograph is often an essential point of reference. This is a shame as a good portrait can capture enduring character rather than a momentary look and is worth the effort required. Giovanni is as thorough though concise as ever and is a sure footed teacher. * The Artist *ISBN-10 1782213163ISBN-13 9781782213161Language EnglishNumber of Pages 64View Full Specifications SpecificationsAbout the Author Giovanni Civardi was born in Milan in 1947.

Although this is not an in-depth study of a what is certainly a complex subject it is nevertheless an excellent primer that includes much more than its 64 pages implies. * Artbookreview.net * Summer 2017 In this latest book by Giovanni Civardi the detail of sensitive pencil work adds immesurably to its usefulness. Books on portraiture are not particularly thick on the ground and those on children even less so maybe because children are a difficult subject hard to persuade to keep still; a photograph is often an essential point of reference. This is a shame as a good portrait can capture enduring character rather than a momentary look and is worth the effort required. Giovanni is as thorough though concise as ever and is a sure footed teacher. * The Artist *ISBN-10 1782213163ISBN-13 9781782213161Language EnglishNumber of Pages 64View Full Specifications
