We all know the proverb about teaching someone to fish, but if there are no fish left, knowing how to catch them won’t do you any good. And that’s the position businesses are in today. Resources are being depleted at an alarming rate and the cost of raw materials is rising dramatically. As a result, scholar and entrepreneur Nadya Zhexembayeva says, businesses need to make resource scarcity-the overfished ocean-their primary strategic consideration, not just a concern for their "green" division.

At the bottom of Shakespeare’s ocean


Free Download At the bottom of Shakespeare’s ocean By Mentz, Steve; Shakespeare, William
2009 | 118 Pages | ISBN: 1847064922 | PDF | 1 MB
We need a poetic history of the ocean, and Shakespeare can help us find one. There’s more real salt in the plays than we might expect. Shakespeare’s dramatic ocean spans the God-sea of the ancient world and the immense blue vistas that early modern mariners navigated. Throughout his career, from the opening shipwrecks of The Comedy of Errors through The Tempest, Shakespeare’s plays figure the ocean as shocking physical reality and mind-twisting symbol of change and instability. To fathom Shakespeare’s ocean – to go down to its bottom – this book’s chapters focus on different things that humans do with and in and near the sea: fathoming, keeping watch, swimming, beachcombing, fishing, and drowning. Mentz also sets Shakespeare’s sea-poetry against modern literary sea-scapes, including the vast Pacific of Moby-Dick, the rocky coast of Charles Olson’s Maximus Poems, and the lyrical waters of the postcolonial Caribbean. Uncovering the depths of Shakespeare’s maritime world, this book draws out the centrality of the sea in our literary culture.

Taken together, these bestselling books will help you chart a bold new path to winning the future.
