In the fight against climate change, lithium's role in reducing emissions by powering green economies is a mixed blessing. Drawing on groundbreaking fieldwork in Chile, Nevada, and Portugal, Thea Riofrancos explores the environmental and social costs of the global race to expand lithium mining amid supply chain concerns. With haunting descriptions of vulnerable ecosystems, she examines how mining harms landscapes, provokes protest, takes centre stage in national politics, and links countries on the peripheries of the world economy to huge corporations, commodity markets, and powerful investors. Riofrancos traces the history of global extraction from colonial conquest to the 1970s energy crisis to the still-uncertain green future. While an unregulated mining boom could inflict irreversible harm, Riofrancos offers compelling ideas about how to harmonize climate action with social justice. Across the world's extractive frontiers, we encounter the most brutal aspects of capitalism - but also witness inspiring visions for our future planet.

In a world where 82 percent of managers struggle to lead effectively, this international bestseller reveals the one secret that separates great leaders from the rest. “What do I need to do to be a great leader?” Every person in authority wonders this question sooner or later. Ken Blanchard, whose books have sold over 25 million copies, and Mark Miller, who rose from line worker to Chick-fil-A vice president, uncover the secret great leaders already know in this international bestseller. &nbsp;Using a classic business fable, newly promoted executive Debbie Brewster asks her mentor the crucial question: “What is the secret of great leaders?” His reply—“Great leaders serve”—confuses her, but he reveals five fundamental ways leaders succeed through service.

Discover these new features: <ul><li>Revised chapters</li><li>New chapter with five HEART habits that form the foundation for great leadership</li><li>Comprehensive facilitator’s guide for groups and teams</li><li>Expanded resources for teams and organizations</li></ul> Translated into twenty-nine languages with over 700,000 copies sold, The Secret delivers proven wisdom in an unforgettable story that anyone can understand and apply immediately.

Managing Public-Private Partnerships

From the author of A People's Guide to Capitalism, a clear-eyed look at cryptocurrencies from the left, cutting through the glitz and the scams to reveal how crypto mirrors and exacerbates the crises of capitalism. 
 
Cryptocurrencies have gone from being fringe investments relevant only to hardcore adherents to a $3.7 trillion industry with a direct line to Donald Trump's White House. The promises of crypto are wide-ranging, preying on a basic reality: people are disaffected by an economic and financial system that has excluded them and wonder if cryptocurrencies can offer a more transparent and inclusive alternative. 
 
Challenge any of these notions, or raise concerns about crypto's associations with money laundering, the speculative bubbles ballooning around these assets, or the disastrous climate implications of the technology behind crypto, and you'll be told by proselytizers that you simply don't understand. That complexity is often intentional, serving as a shield from critical scrutiny. 
 
Enter Crypto-Capitalism, Hadas Thier's deft, accessible examination of the rise and fall and rise again of crypto. Drawing on years of reporting on the industry, its insiders, and the ordinary people impacted by its wild peaks and busts, Thier explains how cryptocurrencies work, elucidates the context and implications of their rise, and debunks the utopian mythology that animates their boosters. 
 
By showing that systemic exploitation and domination are inherent in a crisis-ridden capitalist economy and are matters of class power, not technology, Thier convincingly cuts through the froth and the lies of financial dystopia. Along the way, she opens up alternative avenues for imagining what economic democracy could actually look like.

The New Financial Dystopia

Crypto-Capitalism

This book analyzes the impact of national culture on a range of corporate carbon practices in major economies since the Paris Agreement. It does so by exploring the interaction between hard institutions such as carbon policies and regulation and soft institutions such as national culture.The book focuses on national culture as a key factor in corporate decarbonization practices, one traditionally overlooked by analytical frameworks rooted in economic development, laws and regulation. It argues that fighting climate change requires collaboration from organisations in countries with diverse cultures. Managers and various stakeholders who exert significant influence over climate actions are likely to respond to a climate threat in accordance with their cultural prescriptions towards risk, regulation, environmental stewardship and stakeholder engagement. Analysing a large, cross-country dataset covering firms from both developing and emerging companies, the book analyses firm-level decisions, behaviours, strategies and outcomes related to decarbonization. It finds that corporate decisions to decarbonize are influenced not just by formal institutions such as macrolevel regulations, climate standards and policies, but softer institutions such as national culture which either facilitate or constrain a firm's ability to adopt effective climate strategies. The book highlights the importance of context-sensitive climate governance and closes by outlining areas of future research.Sitting at the intersection of cultural studies and corporate environmental governance, this book will interest researchers and policy makers working on sustainability, accounting and environmental management.

This book presents an integrative and in-depth approach to understanding electricity markets. It combines engineering, economics, and regulatory and public policy, with business analysis. The first part of the book presents the key concepts in these fields relevant to the study of electricity markets. Starting with power engineering basics, the book proceeds to explain how these engineering fundamentals, combined with economic and regulatory theory, are used to design and operate successful electricity markets. With this foundation, business analyses of all sectors of the electric power industry -- generation, transmission, distribution, retail supply, energy efficiency, and demand response -- are conducted. The second part of the book contains several chapters on advanced electricity market topics that use the integrative approach developed in the first section. These advanced topics include the history of restructured electricity markets, regulating electricity derivatives, and how to run an energy services company.
