Designed to help people find their way around the sector, this book includes interviews with philanthropists, advisers and fundraisers, and provides practical insider knowledge to access donors and donor information.

An energizing case for hope about the climate comes from Rebecca Solnit, called "the voice of the resistance" by the New York Times, and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua, along with a chorus of voices calling on us to rise to the moment. Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers. As the contributors to this volume make clear, the future will be decided by whether we act in the present-and we must act to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests, and political obduracy. Guided by Rebecca Solnit’s typical clear-eyed wisdom, Not Too Late leads listeners from discouragement to possibilities, from climate despair to climate hope.

2017 | 230 Pages | ISBN: 1138203750 | PDF | 3 MB
With China’s continued growth and engagement with every continent, to understand the key issues shaping this country’s business environment and the behaviour of Chinese business people becomes increasingly difficult especially when important issues are contested. Is China really the biggest economy in the world? This and several more issues are often misconstrued in the media and heavily influenced by partisan interpretations. However, there is also the well-researched and well-argued analyses in academic literature and business press, reaching diametrically opposite conclusions.This book provides a thoughtful, thorough, and even-handed overview and analysis of the key issues that shape the threats and opportunities arising from China’s development in the next decade. By building on existing academic foundation, it provides readers with conceptual tools and evidence needed to understand and make sound judgement as China continues to evolve and increase its sphere of economic and business influence in Eurasia.

Free Download Listen to Your Day: The Life-Changing Practice of Paying Attention (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BZ6FXVQB | 2023 | 5 hours and 18 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 292 MB
Author: Paul Angone
Narrator: Mike Chamberlain
What are you supposed to do with your life? What deserves your limited reserve of energy, attention, and time? What’s making you anxious or frustrated right now? What would make you happy and fulfilled? The world is shouting its answers to these questions, but the real answers are quieter-and right in front of you. They are in the details of your day, every day. But we usually look right past them. Or we are simply so distracted we’ve lost the ability to see and hear the life going on right in front of us. If we’re not intentional about changing this trend, this "inattentional blindness" can rob us of years of joyful productivity. But when we learn to observe the details of our days, we discover new lenses through which to see and new practices of paying attention that add meaning to life. Stop drifting. Stop worrying. Stop living distracted. Walk purposefully through life with a firm grasp on what’s important to you and what you’re working toward-all by listening to the details of your day.
