This is the remarkable and mind-expanding story of how we shape the lives of animals and plants - and how they shape us - by professor David Farrier

Farrier David: Nature's Genius / B

Nature's Genius

Evolution's Lessons for a Changing Planet

This book examines domestic fuelwood energy in Togo, with a focus on the capital, Lomé, from 1907 to 2025. Despite a 'butanisation' programme introduced in the 1980s to promote a gradual shift to liquefied petroleum gas, charcoal remains central to everyday cooking, particularly in Lomé. While fuelwood has been extensively studied by natural scientists as well as by so-called 'development' experts and state-led institutions, its historical dimensions have received little attention. This book offers the first dedicated historical analysis of Togo's fuelwood energy debate, focusing on Lomé.

Drawing on archival, oral historical, and visual sources, the study traces how social, economic, demographic, environmental, and political forces have shaped fuelwood energy production, commercialisation towards Lomé, and transformations in its use in the city. It also demonstrates how failed state interventions entrenched the dominance of fuelwood. By situating these processes historically, the book contributes to Togolese and West African historiography and lays the groundwork for comparative perspectives on fuelwood as a key domestic energy source in rapidly expanding West African capitals.
By the time this book is published, Hanza Diman is a postdoctoral researcher and lecturer at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. His current research examines the use of compact cassettes as a medium of communication between Beninese migrants in Côte d'Ivoire and their families in Benin from the 1970s to the early 2000s. He earned his PhD in 2021 from the University of Bayreuth's International Graduate School of African Studies (BIGSAS) and the Chairs of African History and Culture and of Technology in Africa. He is a graduate of the Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques (iRiS-SUP, France). He also holds an MA in political history from the University of Bayreuth, with a study on the history of military coups d'état in Togo, and a BA in German philology from the University of Abomey-Calavi, Benin.

Fuelwood, Lomé and the State

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.

Bold Quiet Warrior is an invitation to unlock the leader already in you.

Not through volume or visibility, but through practice-through preparation, responsibility, and care.

Drawing from a life shaped by family legacy, movement work, and leadership inside institutions, Diallo K. Brooks reflects on the quiet disciplines that sustain change over time. This book does not offer formulas or shortcuts. Instead, it explores what leadership asks of us when the spotlight fades: earning voice through preparation, stewarding power without ego, honoring capacity, and building what lasts.

Bold Quiet Warrior speaks to organizers, public servants, institution¿builders, and anyone who feels the pull of responsibility but resists performative leadership. It is for those who understand that leadership is not something bestowed or claimed-it is something already present, waiting to be practiced with intention.

This is not a story about arrival. It is an invitation to alignment. To lead from where you are. To stay when the work is slow.

Leadership does not always announce itself. Sometimes it begins quietly, when you choose to step forward.

Bold Quiet Warrior invites you to unlock that choice.

#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.
