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.

It’s Not too Late to Build Toward a Better Future!

The Power of Finding Steadfast Solutions

It's Not Too Late

Today's marketplace is shaped by habits of excess that threaten both consumer well-being and the environment, placing overconsumption, materialism, and unsustainable business practices at the heart of contemporary marketing debates. Mindful Consumption and Marketing redefines how markets, organizations, and individuals navigate demand and growth by positioning mindfulness as a transformative lens for theory and practice. Situated at the intersection of consumer behavior, marketing strategy, and sustainable enterprise, it shows how conscious awareness of both internal experiences and external market forces can shape more deliberate and purposeful choices. Krittinee Nuttavuthisit advances a vision of marketing as a moral and relational practice, where value creation balances profitability with consumer well-being, social equity, and ecological responsibility. Through a combination of theory-driven chapters on consumer psychology, sociocultural context, and decision-making, alongside rich case-based illustrations, she charts a forward-looking path for scholars and practitioners seeking more balanced and sustainable market development.

Deep Decarbonization of Modern Energy Networks for Climate-Energy-Sustainability Nexus

Der Autor zeigt ein Land im Niedergang, das die Zukunft seiner Kinder gefährdet. Im Bildungssektor fließen Gelder in die weiterführende Bildung und das Universitätssystem. Die steigende Diversität der Lebensverhältnisse von Kindern und die Zunahme ihrer Zahl werden im Vorschul- und Grundschulbereich jedoch nicht berücksichtigt. Wissenschaft und Politik sehen das Thema Armut als ein finanzielles Problem von Haushalten. Aber über die erforderlichen Investitionen in die Mangelbereiche, die die Lebenschancen von Kindern verbessern würden, wie Kinderinfrastruktur und Wohnungsbau, reden sie nicht. Im Gesundheitssektor werden die Kosten diskutiert, die die ältere Generation verursacht. Die Herausforderungen, die das Wohlbefinden von Kindern betreffen, sind dabei höchstens ein Thema für Kinderhilfsorganisationen.

How to Survive and Thrive as a First-Time Chair

The Art of Chairing

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.

Explores the enduring role of traditional bone setting in African healthcare, highlighting its cultural depth, ethnobotanical roots, and growing biomedical collisions s with Western orthopedic medical sciences that split and fracture current patient-care systems.&nbsp; 

Traditional bone setting (TBS) has long held a prominent sway in African healthcare, particularly in the more remote and pastoral expanses of Africa. This unique interdisciplinary religious, human rights, and sociological study of medicine manuscript is an examination of not only generationally inherited ethnobotanical, pharmacognosy TBS traditions but also direct observations on how current surgical orthopedic medicine and modern-day social mechanisms clash with traditional healthcare approaches in contemporaneous and inexorable ways. Whether intentionally or not, this entrenched two-tier infrastructure supports, promotes, and maintains a fiscally and socially alienated infrastructure: one that serves the poor general public; and the other that is oriented toward serving the prosperous and powerful urban class. Some argue that these disparate structures are destined to remain grassroots-based adversaries, due to systemic mistrust, irreconcilable intellectual and spiritual beliefs, and possible biochemical appropriations. 
These ensuing biomedical collisions between "Western" orthopedic trauma care and traditional bonesetters in Cameroon (Central Africa), Ethiopia (East Africa), Ghana (West Africa), and Zimbabwe (South Africa) were documented over eight years via one-on-one interviews with TBS patients, practicing bonesetters, and in-country practicing orthopedic surgeons; evidence-based ethnobotanical research, and patient service preferences. 
In Western biomedical quarters, it will continue to be argued that traditional bonesetters' lack of anatomical, physiological, and radiological knowledge effects tragic and unnecessary limb- and/or life-threatening complications. However, in stark contrast to Western medicine-which focuses on the empirical and scientific dissection, analysis, diagnosis, and profitable treatment of singular biological organ systems or body parts via medical specialties-holistic traditional medicine distinguishes itself to take into consideration the complete person in the treatment of injuries and illnesses-physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. 
In traditional medicine, poor health, disease, misfortune, or even unexpected successes are not viewed as chance occurrences but are imbalances believed to arise from the actions of individuals or ancestral spirits. At its core, traditional medicine can be defined as "health practices, approaches, knowledge and beliefs incorporating plant, animal, and/or mineral-based medicines, spiritual therapies, manual techniques and exercises, applied singularly (or in combination) to treat, diagnose, and prevent illnesses or maintain well-being" (Fokunang et al., 2011). So, we can argue that almost every global region has had, at one time or another in its history, a form of traditional medicine. However, despite being consigned to a secondary placement in the health planning of developing countries, traditional medicine practices are gradually undergoing systemic revitalizations and rehabilitations, particularly in the last two decades.

Development and Its Discontents is a critical examination of development studies' history and what it has become, and what it might yet be. It argues that the field is increasingly differentiated along competing modes of thought, worldviews, and claims to knowledge, bringing long-running debates about the study of development back into sharp focus. Drawing on cross-disciplinary thinking on development, from the rise of classical development economics and the anti-colonial momentum of the Bandung era to contemporary decolonial critiques, the book maps the intellectual currents that have shaped development studies and the tensions and debates that now structure it. The result is a framework for recognising the field's internal pluralism and for taking interdisciplinarity more seriously, without pretending that its disagreements are merely semantic. For scholars and students, Development and Its Discontents offers a guide to the intellectual architecture of development studies, its contested boundaries, and the questions now shaping its future.
