Our digital world is increasingly mobile. All mobile communication rests upon access to one invisible, essential element: the radio spectrum. In Frequencies Gregory Taylor and Catherine Middleton bring together diverse national perspectives to explore the current and future state of spectrum governance worldwide. Spectrum is a foundational component of our contemporary communication infrastructure. The stakes are massive: mobile network operators have invested billions of dollars via national spectrum auctions to claim exclusive use of prime spectrum bands. Despite this windfall for national governments, many people around the globe remain disconnected from mobile service, yet international policy comparisons that can help us understand these disparities and differences are rare. Frequencies offers illuminating case studies from around the world, including Finland, Mexico, New Zealand, India, and Canada, as well as forward-thinking approaches to our use of radio frequencies that encourage greater public benefit and technological advancement. The contributors to Frequencies represent a wide array of disciplinary backgrounds, united by the common goal of maximizing the value and access to the public good that is the radio spectrum. Spectrum policy affects everyone, whether while listening to the radio, making an emergency phone call, or scrolling through social media updates. Frequencies seeks to broaden the discussion about our management of this primary resource necessary for how the world shares information.

Digital technology has revolutionized modern television but what exactly has changed? The history of the digital transition is one of great scientific achievement, expensive failures, and significant political and industrial power struggles. In Shut Off: The Canadian Digital Television Transition, Gregory Taylor examines the technology, institutional players, and the policies that have shaped Canada''s efforts to switch from analogue to digital television broadcasting. Taylor shows how digital television is part of a global media movement by comparing the Canadian experience with the ways in which the digital transition has been managed worldwide. Shut Off is about more than television - the digital transition is also a precursor for new developments in mobile digital media. The wireless spectrum freed by the move to digital television is a multi-billion dollar public resource, whose auction is impending. The book reveals how digital broadcasting has been the site of dramatic change in the political economy of Canadian media, and questions the market-driven process through which the still incomplete transition has unfolded. Considering wide-ranging issues such as equal access and television as a public good, Taylor highlights public and institutional actors in the policy process to provide an analysis of government and industry. Succinct and insightful, Shut Off is a timely assessment of a period of technological and economic upheaval in Canadian broadcasting.

All property and casualty insurers are required to carry out loss reserving as a statutory accounting function. Thus, loss reserving is an essential sphere of activity, and one with its own specialized body of knowledge. While few books have been devoted to the topic, the amount of published research literature on loss reserving has almost doubled in size during the last fifteen years. Greg Taylor's book aims to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art treatment of loss reserving that reflects contemporary research advances to date. Divided into two parts, the book covers both the conventional techniques widely used in practice, and more specialized loss reserving techniques employing stochastic models. Part I, Deterministic Models, covers very practical issues through the abundant use of numerical examples that fully develop the techniques under consideration. Part II, Stochastic Models, begins with a chapter that sets up the additional theoretical material needed to illustrate stochastic modeling. The remaining chapters in Part II are self-contained, and thus can be approached independently of each other. A special feature of the book is the use throughout of a single real life data set to illustrate the numerical examples and new techniques presented. The data set illustrates most of the difficult situations presented in actuarial practice. This book will meet the needs for a reference work as well as for a textbook on loss reserving.

In this work Dr. Taylor surveys the federal countries of the world and asks how they divide power among the constituent units of the federation. In so doing, he considers not only the formal constitutional text, but, far more importantly, the case law that has grown up around it as the Courts develop approaches to interpreting provisions for the distribution of powers. This enables conclusions to be drawn about the effectiveness of various structural and interpretative approaches to the distribution of powers within federations.

Most Americans don't live at the extremes. So why does it feel like the extremes run everything?Something is wrong in American politics, and most of us feel it — at the dinner table, in our feeds, in the voting booth where we end up voting against someone rather than for anyone. We've been told there are only two sides, and that we have to pick one.We don't.The American Center is a clear-eyed and genuinely hopeful argument that the reasonable majority — the people who believe in hard work and in helping their neighbors, in secure borders and in treating families with dignity, in personal responsibility and in a country where getting sick shouldn't bankrupt you — has been sidelined. Not because it is outnumbered, but because it stays home. The extremes don't win because most Americans agree with them. They win because they show up: to the low-turnout primaries where our real choices are quietly made, months before November.This book names the three forces that broke our politics — a two-party system built to protect itself, a campaign-finance machine that answers to donors before voters, and a media ecosystem that profits from keeping us outraged and afraid of each other — and then does what most political books never do: it offers a practical way out. Not a fantasy third party, but a plan to reclaim the two parties we already have, from the inside.In The American Center, you'll discover:Why primaries, not the general election, decide most races — and how the reasonable majority can take them backHow candidates can fund a campaign without being bought, and a simple pledge any voter can hold them toCommon-sense reform on the things that matter most — healthcare, education, and the dignity of work — grounded in what already works in other countriesHow to talk about politics across the divide without losing friends or familyHow to vote in the elections that count, run for local office, and fill the empty seats the extremes have quietly claimedRooted in a simple moral idea — love your neighbor — and free of the culture war, this is a book for the politically homeless: too moderate for one party, too principled for the other. For anyone exhausted by voting against things instead of for them. For everyone who suspects that the person across the aisle has far more in common with them than the people running both shows would ever admit.The center is not where politics goes to die. It is where democracy lives.It's time the rest of us showed up to claim it.
