The Rise and Fall of Bear Stearns 下载 pdf 电子版 epub 免费 txt 2025

On March 16, 2008, Alan Greenberg, former CEO and current chairman of the executive committee of Bear Stearns, found himself in the company’s offices on a Sunday. More remarkable by far than the fact that he was in the office on a Sunday is what he was doing: participating in a meeting of the board of directors to discuss selling the company he had worked decades to build for a fraction of what it had been worth as little as ten days earlier. In less than a week the value of Bear Stearns had diminished by tens of billions of dollars. As Greenberg recalls, "our most unassailable assumption—that Bear Stearns, an independent investment firm with a proud eighty-five-year history, would be in business tomorrow—had been extinguished. . . . What was it, exactly, that had happened, and how, and why?" This book provides answers to those questions from one of Wall Street’s most respected figures, the man most closely identified with Bear Stearns’ decades of success. The Rise and Fall of Bear Stearns is Alan Greenberg’s remarkable story of ascending to the top of one of Wall Street’s venerable powerhouse financial institutions. After joining Bear Stearns in 1949, Greenberg rose to become formally head of the firm in 1978. No one knows the history of Bear Stearns as he does; no one participated in more key decisions, right into the company’s final days. Greenberg offers an honest, clear-eyed assessment of how the collapse of the company surprised him and other top executives, and he explains who he thinks was responsible. This is a candid, fascinating account of a storied career and its stunning conclusion. "Whoever coined the adage about hindsight being twenty-twenty didn’t make any allowance for astigmatism or myopia. Whose hindsight? And from what distance? A picture clarifies or blurs with the passage of time, and whatever image emanates at a given instant is colored by the biases of the observer. Knowing that my perceptions of the fall of Bear Stearns are inevitably somewhat subjective, I’ve tried to make sense of exactly what happened when and how this or that development along the way contributed to the ultimate outcome. I’ve wanted to get a fix on the moment when we ceased controlling our own destiny—not out of intramural curiosity but because that loss of control resonated and replicated globally. For those of us who across decades gave so much of ourselves to Bear Stearns, what took place during a single week in March 2008 was a watershed in our lives. With sufficient time and distance, as the context expanded, we could recognize it as the signal event of an enormous disruption that the world will be struggling to recover from for years to come." —from THE RISE AND FALL OF BEAR STEARNS

  孩子们总是把重要的养育者当作自己的安全基地和安全港湾。他们得到允许，自己去玩，过一会又跑回来，在养育者身边呆一会，或者只是相互笑一下，把情感的杯子注满，就可以接着去玩。这便是安全感的圆环。孩子们一天中可以在这些需求中转换上百次，而没有明确的告知。这本书的有用之处便在于告诉家长如何准确地识别孩子真正的需要。家长的心理状态很大程度上是自己小时候和养育者之间的关系和依恋经历的产物，因此常常在满足孩子的需要上有困难——通常是在一端（鼓励探索或提供安慰）比另一端更难。书里称之为“大白鲨之音”。当孩子的需求触发了家长无意识的“大白鲨之音”时，家长会感觉痛苦，如果孩子请求家长满足自己的需要，却在某一方面反复遭到家长痛苦和消极的回应，孩子就不会再 尝试让家长来满足这些需要，而是照顾家长，向家长发出假性信号。

  金丝猿的小说结构未必多么精巧卓然，完成度也有一些欠缺，但李渝对母语的把握实在是惊人的敏感和细致，我读她的作品时常常为行文间流动的音乐性、纷繁绚丽的意象所倾倒，读夏日踟躇也是这样。将军戎马一生的记忆、过往种种悔咎遗憾、而今再次从至亲背叛中遭受的创伤，与家国动乱的历史现实相互交织，最终从晚年漫长平和的讲述中取得宽容慈悲的谅解和救赎。我很喜欢作者改写的第四部分，无可否认，这是一个诗性的、令人动容的故事。

• 其实我们很多人并不知道如何阅读

  本来在书城呆了一个钟，把书看完不会买的，但最后还是买回了家，虽然书的原理谁到知道，但真正能彻底执行到底的却廖廖可数。知道与做到其实是两个概念，就像书中所说，每天我们都被信息所淹没，每次看到好的文章都想读一番，但其实我们是否真的就消化了这些知识，知识并不要多，要精，识到从中选择自己真正想要的，逐样来吸取，这样才会让内心有所充实，而不是为了那每一次读到有所感觉的文章。真正的文章是需要深读，然后完完全全消化，才真正不枉这次的阅读。

  1、信息超载；2、消极过滤；3、缺少跟进。知与行的差距。。。。

  正因为我们每天都可能会遇到好的文章，而我们会很贪婪地去阅读每一篇我们觉得值得所读的文章，并享受这种阅读的感觉。慢慢我们的阅读变得疲倦了，读得越多越累，所得的东西却越来越少。慢慢积压太多东西也变得无可以样样顾及，然后结果是不了了之。

      我们自以为自己知道很多东西，是的，我们的确知道很多，但仅存在我们脑海中的只是一相模糊印象，当别人再次深刻演绎的时候，我们才有恍然之悟，原来曾几何时，这个道理我在哪看过？？我们会变得不屑，为何转化为“实质”的不是我，而是另有其人呢？值得思考，我们究竟读了这么多，学了这么多，真正掌握了的又有多少。

  重复，一项新的技能都避免不了这个环节，可是谁会坚持到最后，述说忘记在哪看到过，一样东西要重复七次，而且中间间隔一个合理的时间，如果坚持下去，将会有神奇的效果哦。这也跟记忆与习惯有关。。。

      

• 爱情之母有着辛西娅的盈亏

  作者：路灯 发布时间：2022-09-01 20:25:22

  生命无常，而宇宙的发条无情地转动——

  自小便想当天文学家，等到长大了才发现这是一门专业，不是一般人可以接触的，不禁打消了学习天文学的念头。直到许多年后读到了这部著作，才发现原来天文学稳固的大厦正是建立在无数业余“爱好者”与专业者孜孜不倦的观测和研究之上，尤其是当这门学科尚未拥有高精尖的观测仪器之前，天文学业余爱好者们耗费自己的财富和时间去观测夜空，慷慨地分享自己所得的数据和星空图景，帮助建设一个个著名的天文台和观测基地。本书的内容正是从这里开始的……

  爱好者（amateur），源自法语“amateur”，拉丁语“amator”……意为“去爱”，《牛津英语词典》如此解释这个词。“天文学是业余爱好者也有用武之地的少数学科之一，业余爱好者为天文学带来的最大帮助是观测的持续性。如果火星上发生一场尘暴，或者是土星上出现一个新的白点，那肯定是业余爱好者发现的。”本书导言如此说道， 作者蒂莫西是著名的美国科普作家，加州大学伯克利分校名誉教授，还是NASA的空间探索政策顾问。他在业余天文学爱好者的科普读物中成长起来，也开始为自己所观测到的星空与所探访的业余爱好者们留下记录，用优美的语言来帮助人们去理解深不可测的星空。

  本书第一部分主要谈的是观星的历程，这包括了观星的条件、过程的艰难以及观测结果的意义所在。和作者一样，我相信热爱观星的人都是乐于孤独和内心自持的，为何如此，观星当然可以是一群人的共同爱好，可是想要持久地观测某个星象，那是需要一个人长久的坚持和努力，那是无数个清醒或昏昏欲睡的深夜，无数个孤单的凌晨，即便周围人睡去，你也会继续在望远镜前面等待，就是这样。内心自持、踏实、稳定，这些品质都不用说，观星的人，我想可能还需要强大的内心，这样在观测浩瀚星海和庞然星球时无所畏惧，甚至对星象有着探索的热情。作者对此引了庄子的话：“吾以天地为棺椁，以日月为连璧，星辰为珠玑，万物为赍送，吾葬具岂不备邪？”何等的胸怀，非我等所能企及。当作者去拜访著名的观星者杰克.牛顿时，他透过装有H——α滤镜的5英寸折射镜看到了一幅壮观的景象：巨大的日珥飘浮在太空中，血红色太阳表面蚀刻着由太阳黑子组成的、旋转着的深色磁场线……

  本书第二部分是对太阳系行星、系外行星、银河深空等的科普。这些科普不是干巴巴的介绍，同样植根于对星空的探测基础之上。有些既有用又有趣的观点值得一记，例如：

  关于观测太阳“——任何大望远镜通常都不能对准太阳。哈勃空间望远镜甚至都不可以观测水星，就怕它不小心直接接触到太阳光。然而小型望远镜如果有适当的预防装置，还是可以用于太阳观测的。”

  关于观测水星对空气的严格要求——“传说哥白尼一生中从未看见过水星，因为他家附近的河面总是雾气弥漫。”

  关于金星与地球孪生，结局却如此不同的原因——“我们生活的地方是金星的兄弟，我们处于工业化时代，我们这颗星球的温度正在升高——人们认为，至少部分原因是大气中工业产生的二氧化碳水平升高。令人担忧的问题是，从我们满目疮痍的星球上看金星时，它是不是代表着我们的未来。”

  关于我们熟悉的月球——“有些观星者觉得月球很乏味，或觉得它已经没什么可以研究的了。但地球和月亮错综复杂的漫长历史从未被真正了解过，这恰恰证明了那句老话：不识庐山真面目，只缘身在此山中。”

  关于观测彗星——“流星雨一般以流星向外“辐射”的起点所在的星座命名，也就是说，如果你沿着流星轨迹往回画延长线，它们最终相交于一点。”

  关于倾听木星射线的声音——“倾听来自木星的射电噪声有种奇异的乐趣。“L暴”是木卫一环发出的长周期射电，类似遥远而巨大的金属片在空气中拍击的声响，又像马勒交响乐的后台效应。”

  作者以有趣的文字、译者以扎实的文字功底朝我们奉献了关于深空的丰富知识。当然，观测星空不止是会看那么简单，或者说，会看已经包括了懂得。想要更多了解我们生活的家园，就要接触许多理论知识，这就为真正的观测者和一时头脑发热的爱好者进行了区分。作者说道，“仅对空间有概念，并不足以应对星系，我们还得调用时间概念。”这就是说，我们首先要懂得物理学知识，而且还要有对历史的充分把握。“但观测从不代表对理论的无知：你至少得对自己要寻找的东西有个概念，才能看到一些东西。”而同时，对星空的观测也能为理论学习者带来生动的范例，例如对爱因斯坦相对论非常迷惑的读者，可以去看看本书提到的爱因斯坦十字，这是自相对论提出之后观测者看到的引力透镜效应。理论和实践在此得到真正的融合。

  在阅读本书的过程中，不止一次感觉到人类的渺小和宇宙的无限。不免让我想到，天文学从一开始就不是一种专业学问，而是揭开真实生活面纱的道路。作为必有一死的人类，我们活在每一天的操劳和琐碎事务中，每一天我们都在别人的目光中或小心翼翼、或耀武扬威，但当我们目视星空时，才知道自己有多么可笑和愚蠢，以无数个理由错过了真正热爱的事物，以无数个借口欺骗了自己、隐瞒了真实。如果终有一天要死，那最关键是如何活，如何贴近真实而活。

  “从某种意义上而言，我们本来就是由恒星物质创造的，它存在于我们的基因中”。

  为何不去当个观星的人。
