Immerse yourself in an ocean of great literature. Come on, dive in.

Take Me to the River is an anthology not just of wild swimming writing, but of stories of how a jump into deep waters can change us.   Open water swimming plays a pivotal role in many great narratives, taking us on an immersive journey, from Homer's Odyssey to contemporary poetry and memoirs.

As the world grapples with the impacts of climate change, emerging markets are approaching an inflection point. The heightened vulnerability of economic growth, social stability, and ecological integrity due to severe weather and environmental degradation may have far reaching consequences for developing economies. However, these challenges also present significant opportunities for innovation, resilience, and sustained development. 
Climate Risk and Emerging Markets: Valuation, Volatility, and Portfolio Strategies delves into the unique challenges that emerging economies encounter, including the threats posed by rising sea levels and disruptions to agriculture. Authors provide a thorough analysis of how climate change impacts trade, investments, and overall GDP in these regions. They also explore a range of strategies to enhance adaptability and resilience, such as diversifying investments, utilizing risk management tools, and implementing policy adaptations. Additionally, the collections highlight the potential of green finance and sustainable investment opportunities, showcasing promising industries and successful climate-conscious initiatives. Emphasizing the need for robust policy frameworks and global collaboration, authors advocate for cooperative efforts and present exemplary methodologies to support emerging countries in their transition towards climate resilience. 
With practical case studies and innovative perspectives, this work is a valuable resource for investors, CEOs, policymakers, academics, and forward-thinking individuals, providing insights into the challenges and opportunities of achieving sustainability in emerging markets.

Nachhaltigkeit darf sich nicht nur an kurzfristigen Erfolgen oder ausschließlich an finanziellen Ergebnissen orientieren, sondern muss zwangsläufig langfristige Ziele wie Stabilität, Resilienz und Flexibilität verfolgen. Dies gilt auch für die Berücksichtigung ökologischer und sozialer Aspekte und die Umsetzung entsprechender Maßnahmen. Dieses Buch will mit sachlichen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Argumenten sowie unter Berücksichtigung historischer und aktueller Entwicklungen in Wirtschaft und Politik einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die wichtigen und drängenden Fragen der Nachhaltigkeit leisten. Die aus der Analyse skizzierten 16 Bausteine fassen wesentliche Aspekte und Herausforderungen der Transformation zusammen.Die zentralen Herausforderungen der Nachhaltigkeit wurden in der 2. Auflage noch pointierter und umfassender dargestellt, ebenso die Aufweichung nachhaltigkeitsbezogener EU-Regulierungen (z. B.

9 in 10 women experience ill mental health from poor life-work balance This book is for working women who feel dissatisfied with life, and who want to reinvent themselves to lead successful and fulfilling lives, in their personal life and at work. Our changing and challenging times have left many of us, and especially women, feeling burnt out, chronically worried and uncertain. At the same time, it's difficult to overstate just how much attitudes towards emotional wellbeing have changed in the last five years. As more and more of us struggle about how to exist in this unstable environment, question arise such as: How do you behave if you have a leadership role, given the unattractive role models we see currently in the US and elsewhere? What do you do as a mother when your children tell you they learnt at school that there will be a world war? The change is that women want a life that has meaning and purpose and there's more willingness to call out prejudice and predatory behaviour. Yet many of the same old problems persist. All of this is a case for stressing the importance of emotional connection, creativity and open-mindedness: attitudes and behaviours that will be at the heart of this timely book from pioneer coach, Jenny Rogers.

Project Stakeholder Engagement

The Sunday Times Bestseller. New edition, updated with added content. Navigating day-to-day life can be a tricky business. By the time we are adults, our experiences have formed our way of thinking and we have learned patterns of behaviour that are not always helpful. We must unravel these to understand, accept, nurture and allow ourselves to rise with our vulnerabilities, not in spite of them. After having a breakdown in 2011, Will Young went about the process of interrogating everything he thought he knew: how he formed his identity, what he relied on for self-esteem and how he behaved and communicated. Everything he has learned over the past ten years, he has now condensed into this easy to access A-Z guide. He digs into how everyday life can affect our wellbeing, how we can navigate our emotions, where they come from and how to create a balanced mindset, offering practical techniques we can all use to ground ourselves and set boundaries. With wit and wisdom and revealing his own vulnerabilities along the way, Will shows us how to identify destructive patterns, develop good mindful habits, be true to who we are and grow into better versions of ourselves.

It's Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!Rick Caruso has earned a reputation for being a problem solver--somebody who's not afraid of facing big challenges. From his appointment to Water Commissioner and later Police Commissioner in Los Angeles to his bold real estate ventures, Caruso made the decisions he felt were right, even in the face of staunch adversity. In Its Not Too Late, Caruso shares the lessons he learned from his experiences while offering us all a path forward to a better future. At a time when more importance is placed on choosing sides than actually getting things done (let alone done right), Caruso offers refreshing perspective and will teach you how to let go of false divisions, and instead to embrace the search for actual answers and solutions.Togetherness, brotherhood, sisterhood, faith in each other, respect for each other, the ideals preached in almost every faith on Earth are the way forward, no matter how difficult the climb in front of us may seem. And ultimately, the only way we will get back on that path is for each of us to step up, with integrity, in whatever small way we can: for our kids, for our communities, for our country, and for each other.

Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.

Postal Strategies in a Digital and Green Transition

How corporations can address legacies of historical oppression in ways that are good for them and good for others. Increasingly, corporate executives find themselves called upon to atone for their predecessors’ moral transgressions. While many are prepared to address inherited failed product lines or dysfunctional teams, few know how to handle demands that their enterprise address legacies of mass atrocity such as slavery, genocide, or colonialism. In Corporate Reckoning, Sarah Federman provides a corporate atonement model for corporate leaders and employees across industries around the world. When survivors and descendants demand reckoning, many corporate leaders initially shirk the responsibilities that follow from these requests. They may claim that history belongs to the historians, that their company’s activities were legal at the time, or that too much time has passed. If it comes to it, courts will rule in their favor, they reassure themselves. Others avoid these issues simply because they have no idea how to address them. Demands for reckoning ebb and flow, but these histories do not disappear. This book offers a way forward that serves companies and those affected by these historical harms. Taking responsibility for irreparable harm is not easy or comfortable. Despite the dilemmas and difficulties, the only way out is through.
