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

We spend a lot of our time at work and would be depressed with nothing to do. But when it gets to Monday, many of us are already longing for the weekend and the prospect of escape. How did work become so tedious and stressful? And is there anything we can do to make it better?Based on his popular Economist Bartleby column, Philip Coggan rewrites the rules of work to help us survive the daily grind.Ranging widely, he encourages us to cut through mindless jargon, pointless bureaucracy and endless meetings to find a new, more creative - and less frustrating - way to get by and get on at work. Incisive, original, and endlessly droll, this is the guide for beleaguered underlings and harried higher-ups alike. As Rousseau might have said: "Man was born free, but is everywhere stuck in a meeting." If you've ever thought there must be a better way, this is the book for you.

What if the economy loved you?Beloved Economies explores what it takes to co-create US economic futures that work for all.From rising inequality, to systemized oppression, and an increasing consolidation of wealth, it’s clear that work isn’t working for us anymore. What changes can we implement at all levels of organizations, now, to make them healthier and more just?Based on six years of research, Beloved Economies offers seven practices for individuals who are part of teams within enterprises—from businesses to nonprofits, farms, and after-school groups—to build economic realities of more purpose, meaning, and joy:• Choose Trust• Share Power• Reckon with History• Prioritize Relationships• Seek Meaningful Difference• Source from Multiple Ways of Knowing• Prototype Early and OftenResearch practitioners Jess Rimington and Joanna Cea have found that when individuals commit to these practices, they transform their enterprises to be “less capitalist” and more of an emerging system that exp

☆☆☆「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

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

Billions have been spent on land conservation but too little attention had been paid to how cost-effective these investments have been. With budgets increasingly constrained, conservationists must learn to fully harness their funds to protect critical resources. Messer and Allen are pioneers in making conservation selection more successful, cost-effective, scientific, and transparent. This book introduces powerful mathematical tools available for project selection, using real-life examples and a practical step-by-step approach. Readers can readily apply these methods to their own work, accomplishing more with less by combining the individual benefits of structured decision-making, mathematical programming, and an understanding of market forces and human behavior. The authors highlight tools from conservation science, mathematics, land use planning and behavioral economics, showing how they can be combined to help protect key environmental resources. This is an invaluable volume for all

Working capacity is the physiological key to understanding man's ability, in technically less advanced communities, to exploit his environment, and hence to understanding his role in the ecological balance. In this volume the knowledge of working capacity in tropical populations is reviewed in a series of illustrative papers. Topics cover the measurement of working capacity in populations: the functional consequences of malnutrition; growth, size and muscular efficiency; ethnic differences in working capacity; energy; expenditure and endemic disease; and energy flow in tropical ecosystems. These papers and their ensuing discussions lead to a series of recommendations on studies to be incorporated in the Decade of the Tropics research programme of the International Union of Biological Sciences.
