#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “After his spectacular Lincoln in the Bardo, Saunders returns . . . with a new novel even more spectacular than the last.”—Los Angeles Times A “daring” (Time) novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling, Booker Prize–winning author of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain and Tenth of December, taking place at the bedside of an oil company CEO in the twilight hours of his life as he is ferried from this world into the next “Vibrant, fiendishly clever . . . Vigil is pure Saunders: the death of empathy, he insists, is greatly exaggerated.”—The Boston Globe Not for the first time, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth, reconstituting as she falls, right down to her favorite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty 343 times since her own death. Her charges, as a rule, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge, she soon discovers, isn’t like the others. The powerful K. J. Boone will not be consoled, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big, bold, epic life, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? Vigil transports us, careening, through the wild final evening of a complicated man. Visitors begin to arrive (worldly and otherworldly, alive and dead), clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room; a black calf grazes on the love seat; a man from a distant, drought-ravaged village materializes; two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. With the wisdom, playfulness, and explosive imagination we’ve come to expect, George Saunders takes on the gravest issues of our time—the menace of corporate greed, the toll of capitalism, the environmental perils of progress—and, in the process, spins a tale that encompasses life and death, good and evil, and the thorny question of absolution.

The Price of Becoming

Sustainable business is no longer optional--it's the strategy that will determine who leads and who gets left behind.Climate change is not just a future threat--it's a current reality, reshaping markets, supply chains, and entire industries. Rising temperatures, resource scarcity, and mounting waste are driving regulatory pressure, investor scrutiny, and consumer demand for sustainable practices. For business leaders, this isn't just an operational challenge--it's a strategic disruption. Companies that fail to adapt risk being swept aside by forces they can no longer ignore.In The Ultimate Disruption: Rethinking Business in a World Transformed by Climate Change, INSEAD professors Atalay Atasu and Luk Van Wassenhove provide an essential road map for thriving in this new era. Drawing on decades of research and real-world case studies, they show why sustainability must be treated as a core business imperative, not a compliance exercise or marketing slogan. The authors introduce a framework for rethinking strategy, redefining value propositions, and reinventing business models to integrate environmental value alongside customer utility and profit.Through compelling examples--from Polygreen's zero-waste transformation on a Greek island to Schneider Electric's global decarbonization initiatives--the book illustrates how companies are turning environmental constraints into opportunities for innovation and growth. Each chapter tackles critical steps: building the business case for sustainability; revisiting value potential; overcoming operational and scaling challenges; and leveraging partnerships, tech, and new business models to deliver shared value and profitability.Sustainability is no longer a cost--it's a competitive advantage. The Ultimate Disruption equips leaders with the strategies and tools to navigate the climate-driven transformation of business ecosystems and emerge stronger than ever.

Economic Impact of the Energy Transition: Energy-Environment-Economy Models explores and analyzes the complex nature of energy transition, the inter-relationships between energy, environment, and economy, and the use of 3E models to assess economic impact, including a new energy-environment-economy model introduced by the book's editors. The book begins by introducing energy transition and economic impacts, explaining classical macro-econometric models, input-output and CGE models, and macroeconomic models. The second part of the book focuses on energy-environment-economy (3E) models developed globally, with in-depth chapters examining GEC, E3ME, NEMS-MAM, and finally the new System of Three E-Models (STEM). The last section of the book provides case studies demonstrating the utilization of different 3E models in various parts of the world. A final chapter carefully examines the advantages and limitations of each model, its policy implications, and considerations for empirical analysis, discusses how these can be applied, addresses the remaining challenges in the field of energy transition and economic impact analysis, and suggests directions for future research. This is a valuable resource for researchers, advanced students, faculty, scientists, engineers, analysts, policy makers, consultants, and other industry professionals with an interest in energy transition, modeling, policy, and the interconnection between energy, environment, and economy.

Verzicht ist ein Schlüsselbegriff in der gegenwärtigen politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussion. Dabei wird er häufig mit einem gewissen Unbehagen oder Widerwillen assoziiert, was einer sachlichen Debattenkultur nicht zuträglich ist. Die Beiträger*innen bieten eine überfällige interdisziplinäre Begriffsdiskussion, die die unterschiedlichen Semantiken von Verzicht systematisiert und reflektiert. Dabei fokussieren sie auf eine historisch angelegte ideengeschichtliche Einordnung, eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme aktueller politischer und kultureller Praktiken sowie einen analytischen Blick auf Ästhetiken des Verzichts in Literatur und Populärkultur - und leisten damit einen aktuellen Beitrag zur Diskussion um Verzicht in all seinen Facetten.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of Outlive comes a radical exploration of the science of heat adaptation and sweat therapy to tap into the evolutionary superpowers that we’ve forgotten we possess.What if the key to thriving in a hotter world isn’t avoiding the heat—but harnessing it?In Hotwired, bestselling author and science journalist Bill Gifford takes readers on a fascinating exploration of the power of heat to improve our performance and our health. Combining cutting-edge science, personal discovery, and practical insights, Gifford reveals how heat adaptation and heat therapy such as sauna can make us healthier, stronger, and even happier, by unlocking the body’s built-in tools to promote longevity and resilience.Through innovative research in evolutionary biology, physiology, and thermoregulation, Gifford uncovers how humans evolved to excel in sweltering conditions—and how we’ve lost touch with this ancient advantage. He plunges into the steamy world of Finnish saunas, serves as a test subject in cutting-edge heat labs, and tackles a grueling 100-mile bike ride under the blazing Texas sun—to show how temperature extremes can expand our physical and mental limits. He even explores how infrared sauna therapy may fight depression more effectively than medication—and how many people are rediscovering the power of communal wellness through the use of social sauna.Whether you’re looking to perform better, extend your healthy lifespan, adapt to a warming planet, or tap into the human connection that forms when we sweat together, Gifford reveals the incredible benefits of reawakening your body’s natural adaptability to heat and cold. You’ll discover how sweat is more than a cooling mechanism; it’s central to peak performance. We were born to sweat, and sweating makes us stronger.Hotwired shows how short-term discomfort transforms into long-term power. It’s a thrilling call to reimagine heat—not as a threat, but as a tool for survival and strength.
