Barba Higuera D: Firesnake

Firesnake

from multi-award winning and New York Times bestselling Donna Barba Higuera

Everyone is talking about sustainability, yet its concrete meaning and consequences are often unclear. This handbook explains how global goals, climate change, and policy in the UN, EU 27, Germany, US, UK, and China fit together and shape our future.
It leads the reader from core concepts and key international agreements through a concise stock taking and long term outlook to concrete instruments for a more sustainable world. The handbook focuses on the real impact of global and European measures on economies, societies, and the planet. The role of Germany, the US, UK, and China is presented in each case.
Prof. Fieber assesses the achievements of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The countries responsible for global warming are identified and their contributions to improving the situation are compared. In addition, the advantages of liberal democracy over autocracy for achieving greater sustainability in one's own country and worldwide are a subject of this book.
The author¿s aim is to sharpen reader¿s awareness of the necessity for climate action while showing that ambitious sustainability policy can secure stable ecological, social, and economic foundations for future generations. 
It should also be made clear that every individual can contribute to greater sustainability. Taken together, government policy and these personal contributions can bring about a significant improvement in sustainability worldwide.

Sustainability

THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLERWe're living in a cashless age, yet more money is printed than ever before. Up to $5 trillion is washed globally each year - and criminals keep almost all of it. Without money laundering, crime doesn't pay. Yet every effort to stop them has failed. Why?Oliver Bullough is on a mission to find out, following a trail from Miami to Hong Kong via crooked casinos, printers churning out eye-watering quantities of banknotes and a luxury shopping outlet on the edge of Oxfordshire.Because only by understanding this dark world - where designer goods and baby eels prop up vast, illicit flows of dirty banknotes - can we ever hope to dismantle it.

The Secret Life of Dirty Money

Everybody Loves Our Dollars

In a moment of interlocking and compounding crises that many commentators have aptly termed the "polycrisis," a leading economist offers a clear-eyed account of the underlying trends fueling the global instability and market mayhem that have come to characterize contemporary capitalism. 
 
Rampant inequality. Unchecked climate change. A global pandemic. And now, seething international divisions and the escalatory spiral of war and state violence. As the world moves toward the end of the 2020s, each of the pieces of this mosaic are becoming impossible to ignore, but how do they all fit together? And where is it all heading? 
 
To answer these questions, Marxist economist Michael Roberts draws on his forty-plus years of experience working in various financial institutions in the City of London to provide an empirically grounded and wide-ranging appraisal of the global situation. 
 
Roberts takes readers on a tour of the contemporary global economy, first by turning back to the Great Recession of 2008, and then offering a granular look at the economic priorities and contradictions of every region of the world. 
 
What emerges from this accounting of the polycrisis is the inescapable fact that capitalism's rapacious drive toward profit over and against any geopolitical boundaries or ecological limits threatens both humanity and the planet.&nbsp;

Depression, Polycrisis, and the World Economy in the 2020s

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

Roman Fever

Palgrave Studies in Sub-National Governance

This open access book examines how local governments in Latin America create public value through innovation and leadership under conditions of institutional constraint, territorial inequality, and limited resources.Integrating a rigorous conceptual framework on public value and public leadership with empirical analysis of municipal case studies across the region, the book offers critical insights into when and how local initiatives generate legitimacy, capacity, and tangible outcomes. Each chapter explores a distinct policy domain, from water management and digital inclusion to care systems and LGBTI+ rights, highlighting both successful and failed interventions. By positioning Latin America as a productive site for theory-building rather than a peripheral context, the book also contributes to global debates on public policy and governance.The book will appeal to scholars and students seeking analytically grounded insights into subnational governance and public sector innovation.Ángeles Ortiz-Espinoza is Postdoctoral Fellow and Lecturer at the School of Government and Public Transformation, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico.Pablo de la Peña Sánchez is Director of the Master in Public Administration at the School of Government and Public Transformation, Tecnológico de Monterrey, Mexico.

Innovative Practices in Local Government

Public Leadership and Creating Public Value in Latin America

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

Perspectives on Global Affairs

With more than 180 million migrants worldwide, roughly 2.3 percent of the global population, migration is a global phenomenon, characterized by cross-border movements that are strikingly varied. This book discusses the current state of migration as a question of governance rather than crisis, examining contemporary migration movements within the legal, political, and economic structures that shape who may move, and why. The book focuses on Latin America, a region shaped by long histories of mobility, and the immigration policy frameworks of the United States, the European Union, and Latin America and the Caribbeans, tracing how different institutional architectures face similar migratory pressures but obtain markedly different outcomes. Ultimately, the book argues that migration functions as a governance barometer, by introducing the concept of policy elasticity, and exploring the limitations of existing “one-size-fits-all” approaches.
