An imaginative and heartfelt book that reminds us that there is no loss without love. When Grief first arrives, it is like an elephant--so big that there is hardly room for anything else. But over time, Grief can become smaller and smaller--first a deer, then a fox, a mouse, and finally a flickering firefly in the darkness leading us down a path of loving remembrance. This lyrical work is an empathetic and comforting balm for anyone who is experiencing grief, be it grieving the loss of a loved one or losses in the world around us. REASSURING FEELINGS BOOK: Children can often feel confused by their emotions. The gentle voice and soft illustrations in this book help to make these emotions feel less frightening, and the hopeful ending provides a reassuring message that grief will transform over time. TIMELESS REFLECTION ON GRIEF: The perennial themes of grief and sadness, as well as the graceful art style, make this perfect for anyone who is dealing with feelings of loss, whether that inv

☆☆☆「指數基金教父」約翰．柏格專文讚譽☆☆☆☆☆☆柏格頭論壇雙雄《鄉民的提早退休計畫》作者們強力支持☆☆☆☆眾多指數投資人：查爾斯．艾利斯、威廉．伯恩斯坦、喬納森．克雷蒙等聯名推薦☆投資一定要主動嗎？不努力不積極就不會有獲利嗎？你是不是認為「積極進出市場，才能獲取成效」？你是不是覺得「只要努力，一定能挑到贏過市場的股票」？小心！你的貿然進取恐讓賺錢助力變阻力！其實，投資這門學問沒有你想得這麼困難或辛苦，只要轉變你的投資信仰，放下主動追求被動，使用指數化投資工具加上長期堅持的被動配置，《被動投資學》就是你成功追求致富的不敗信仰！知名《富比士》雜誌專欄作家理查‧菲利（Richard A. Ferri），從主動式證券經紀人變為提供被動式投資組合策略的公司創辦人。改變路線的他，以經紀商的銷售經驗加上實際歷史的研究數據，指明了主動式投資路線的曲折坎坷，以及被動式投資路線的種種優勢，下面，就一起來改變你的投資理念，學習能讓所有人抱得財富歸的投資學問吧！◎改變投資信仰第一招：放棄主動型基金長久以來，許多媒體、主動型基金業者不斷的揮舞著「主動型基金能賺取超額報酬」的大旗，吸引眾多投資人爭先恐後的加入其中。然而這一切只是行銷手法，事實上，主動型基金沒有你知道的那麼好！下列是你可能忽略的投資陷阱：【有銷售佣金或其他相關費用】在賺取超額報酬之前，當你選擇以主動型基金進行操作時，就須先繳納較高的相關手續費或佣金。跟相同投資目標的主動型基金相比較，追蹤指數的基金每年可能只收取0.2％的費用，而主動型基金每年則需收取1.2％的費用。【沒注意到的稅金】主動型基金為了努力賺取超額報酬，因而頻繁進出市場使得週轉率較高，而產生更多的稅金成本，這些成本需由投資人負擔。指數型基金的基金週轉率每年約6%，而主動型基金年度週轉率約50%。【追求高報酬的風險】愈高的報酬伴隨著愈高的風險。像是主動型基金可能會為了追求高報酬，而選擇小型資本公司的股票，因而有較高風險。【成功時的報酬少，失敗時的損失高】你以為只要績效勝出就能獲利，事實上，勝出的主動型基金賺取報酬的獲利程度，遠少於其他績效較差基金虧損所造成的高額損失，也就是說，勝出的主動型基金賺少賠多。【與指數型基金相比，績效較低】根據研究資料統計，當與主動型基金與指數型基金的報酬做比較，只有三分之一的機會主動型基金的績效會勝出，三分之二會輸給指數型基金，整體績效而

Find out in this addition to the #1 New York Times best-selling Who Was? series!Everyone was rather surprised when small-town farmer Jimmy Carter first announced that he’d be running for president in 1976. When Jimmy told his mother, she replied, “President of what?” But this former naval officer and governor of Georgia was ready for the role. Jimmy Carter went on to become one of America’s most beloved political figures thanks to his honesty, strong faith, and compassion.

In the 13 years since the second edition was published, we've seen the following developments which dramatically impact consultants starting in the profession or veterans in the profession.- Remote means of delivering services, from workshops to facilitation, from strategy to M&A work.- A waning of the power and repute of huge firms because of their cost and ponderous work methods, and a reception of less expensive, quicker small firms and solo practitioners. The mammals are scurrying amidst the dying dinosaurs.- A globalization of economy (that will resume post-pandemic) making exported knowledge a key contributor to income (if it were considered formally as an export it would seriously shift the trade imbalance).- The emergence of an African middle class, the decline of ancient dictators, and the growth of a huge potential marketplace in most countries on that continent.- The growing abandonment of "career" and reliance on large companies and the inclination to forge one's own se

MWA Grand Master Muller delivers a relatively routine stand-alone, a murder mystery with an environmental veneer, which falls short of the quality of her acclaimed Sharon McCone series (The Dangerous Hour, etc.). When a greedy North Carolina corporation seeks to harvest water from a quiet California lumber town—the Cape Perdido of the title—Jessie Domingo, a public and community relations consultant, and Fitch Collier, an arrogant and difficult attorney who specializes in water rights, team up to help the community fight the interloper. The conflict between the townspeople and the company rapidly escalates after a sniper takes a shot at one of the huge bags to be used to transport the water. The lingering shadow from a decades-old unsolved murder connected to many of the local players in the dispute complicates Domingo's work and leads to even more violence. Less than compelling characters and a pat ending mark this as an uncharacteristic lapse for Muller, who hopefully will return to
