A partir de toda una vida de viajes en busca de alternativas reales, Thackara describe c?mo todas las comunidades del mundo est?n cambiando hacia una mejor econom?a a partir de cero. Cada cap?tulo trata sobre formas creativas para hacer frente a necesidades importantes como la restauraci?n de la tierra, con la que compartimos hogar, agua, alimentos… La lectura de estos ejemplos habla positivamente de una econom?a sostenible, dejando de lado la obsesi?n con los aspectos materiales. El libro describe las pr?cticas sociales, desde las peque?as cosas a todo lo que nos rodea y nunca reparamos en ello. El crecimiento, en esta nueva econom?a, significa el cuidado del suelo, biodiversidad, cuencas hidrogr?ficas, para generar una econom?a m?s saludable y resistente. Poniendo foco en valores que sostengan la administraci?n y la salud, en lugar de la extracci?n y la decadencia.

Автор: Alejandro Dumas

C?rdoba es un extracto del libro De Par?s a C?diz, que se inscribe dentro del inter?s que despierta nuestro pa?s entre los literatos y artistas rom?nticos, que ven Espa?a como un lugar ex?tico e ins?lito.
Alejandro Dumas padre visit? Espa?a entre octubre y noviembre de 1846 (dos a?os despu?s de la publicaci?n de Los tres mosqueteros y El conde de Montecristo) como cronista de las bodas reales entre Isabel II y su primo Francisco de As?s, y el duque de Montpensier y la infanta Luisa Fernanda, hermana de la reina Isabel II. Le acompa?an su hijo, su secretario, el poeta Auguste Maquet, los pintores Adolphe Desbarolles y Eug?ne Giraud y Eau Benjoin, su criado et?ope. Como resultado de este viaje surgieron tres libros: De Par?s a C?diz, escrito por Dumas, Dos artistas en Espa?a, firmado por Desbarolles y Giraud, y un tercero posterior sobre cocina espa?ola.
Esta no es una novela de viajes al uso; all? donde no llega la realidad, Dumas da rienda suelta a su imaginaci?n. Y esta es la que prevalece en el camino de Granada a C?rdoba o en la descripci?n que hace de la antigua ciudad musulmana. A?n as?, las descripciones del paisaje y de la inmensidad de la mezquita son de una gran belleza. Este es un libro desenfadado y alegre, lleno de peque?as aventuras, donde cobra especial relevancia el aspecto humano y las gentes de C?rdoba.

An unbiased look at how the economic practices of corporations, leaders, and government are severely damaging the American way of life Most of us have lived our lives by the rules—going to school, investing in real estate, and building careers—but the so-called Great Recession has changed everything. Cannibal Capitalism: How Big Business and the Feds Are Ruining America answers the questions on everyone's lips; what happened and where do we go from here? Unlike in most other recent instances of financial turbulence, when this crisis hit, the country turned on itself economically, with the powerhouses—corporations, business leaders, and government—throwing the everyman under the bus. In an effort to avoid becoming slightly less rich, the super-rich effectively cannibalized the true engines of growth in the economy, in the process putting the bottom ninety-nine percent of the population at serious risk of losing everything. Cannibal Capitalism fights back, arguing that to really recover we need to educate our children, invest in our small businesses, use our inflated money to develop real things that build real wealth, and get back to exporting in a big way. Takes a thoughtful look at how income and wealth disparity, industry consolidation, anticompetitive business practices, political ideological extremism, and the hoarding of existing wealth are destroying the wealth building capacity of the nation and the promise of ideal capitalism Examines the financial crisis and its fallout in a clear, no-nonsense way Explains what we can do to fix a broken system and come out on top The economic crisis rocking the foundations of the international financial system has had a disproportionately devastating affect on the average person. Angry, afraid, and confused, regular people are looking for answers and Cannibal Capitalism is here to help, illustrating how the super-rich did everything in their power to stay safe at the expense of everyone else.

"A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading. This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era." —John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing «Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter Bernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground. No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better, and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future. He is the only person who could have written this book; thank goodness he did.» —Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money magazine «Another must-read from Peter Bernstein!

Ha pasado ya m?s de una d?cada desde que la crisis de 2008 acabara de resquebrajar el mundo surgido tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Desde entonces los esfuerzos por clarificar este horizonte convulso y aparentemente ininteligible siguen dando escasos resultados. La desorientaci?n se extiende en los ?mbitos pol?ticos y en los econ?micos ante las amenazas que impone un entorno caracterizado por graves tensiones medioambientales, por el desaf?o de la robotizaci?n e informatizaci?n y la inteligencia artificial, por los flujos migratorios, por el calentamiento global, por la irrupci?n de la extrema derecha o por la creciente desigualdad e injusticia global. Todos los datos apuntan a un «agotamiento sist?mico» cuyo s?ntoma m?s evidente es el cansancio que parece mostrar el capitalismo desde hace m?s de una d?cada.
En este contexto, resulta en extremo optimista dar por asumidos logros culturales, pol?ticos y civilizatorios que se cre?a consolidados hasta hace poco, por lo que vale la pena repensar de manera radical para las pr?ximas d?cadas los supuestos (econ?micos, ecol?gicos, geopol?ticos, culturales, pedag?gicos) asumidos acr?ticamente como tel?n de fondo de nuestras vidas. Porque incluso si, como muchos sospechan, estamos ante el amanecer de un sistema completamente distinto al que conocimos, no hay garant?as de que lo que finalmente acabe por triunfar se parezca m?s a nuestros sue?os pol?ticos que a nuestras pesadillas. Lo fascinante de la encrucijada a la que nos enfrentamos es que sabemos que el pasado qued? atr?s para siempre y no volver?, pero a?n no somos capaces de vislumbrar qu? ser? lo que lo sustituya.

"Wenn die Meere sterben, sterben wir alle." Seit Jahrzehnten riskiert Paul Watson sein Leben f?r den Erhalt und die Unversehrtheit von Meeresbewohnern. Mit 27 Jahren rief er die Sea Shepherd Conservation Society ins Leben, deren erstes Schiff, die Sea Shepherd, 1978 die heute weltbekannte, mit Dreizack und Hirtenstab modifizierte Piratenflagge hisste. In einer neuen, um ein zweites Interview und zahlreiche spektakul?re Bilder aus dem Sea-Shepherd-Archiv erweiterten Ausgabe berichtet Watson lebhaft von den aufregenden Stationen seines einzigartigen Lebens und er?ffnet einen exklusiven Blick auf seine hoch politisierte Festnahme in Frankfurt im Jahre 2012 und seine abenteuerliche Flucht, die ihn auf eine nervenzerrei?ende Segeltour voller St?rme und Hindernisse schickte.

Praise for Carbon Finance «A timely, objective, and informative analysis of the financial opportunities and challenges presented by climate change, including a thorough description of adaptive measures and insurance products for managing risk in a carbon constrained economy.» —James R. Evans, M. Eng. P. Geo., Senior Manager, Environmental Risk Management, RBC Financial Group «Climate change will have enormous financial implications in the years to come. How businesses and investors respond to the risks and opportunities from this issue will have an enormous rippling effect in the global economy. Sonia Labatt and Rodney White's insights and thoughtful analysis should be read by all who want to successfully navigate this global business issue.» —Andrea Moffat, Director, Corporate Programs, Ceres «In Carbon Finance, Labatt and White present a clear and accessible description of the climate change debate and the carbon market that is developing. Climate change is becoming an important factor for many financial sector participants. The authors illustrate how challenges and opportunities will arise within the carbon market for banking, insurance, and investment activities as well as for the regulated and energy sector of the economy.» —Charles E. Kennedy, Director and Portfolio Manager, MacDougall, MacDougall & MacTier Inc. «Climate change is the greatest environmental challenge of our generation. Its impact on the energy sector has implications for productivity and competitiveness. At the same time, environmental risk has emerged as a major challenge for corporations in the age of full disclosure. Carbon Finance explains how these disparate forces have spawned a range of financial products designed to help manage the inherent risk. It is necessary reading for corporate executives facing challenges that are unique in their business experience.» —Skip Willis, Managing Director Canadian Operations, ICF International «In this timely publication, Labatt and White succeed in communicating the workings of carbon markets, providing simple examples and invaluable context to the new and changing mechanisms that underpin our transformation to a carbon-constrained world. Carbon Finance will be the definitive guide to this field for years to come.» —Susan McGeachie, Director, Innovest Strategic Value Advisors, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto; and Jane Ambachtsheer, Principal, Mercer Investment Consulting, Graduate Faculty Member, University of Toronto

Resseguint els passos de Carles I en la seva ruta peninsular, Jordi Bilbeny construeix un relat magistral i exhaustivament documentat sobre el veritable paper i pes dels estats catalans en la configuraci? del projecte imperial de l'?poca. P?gina rere p?gina, sorgeixen evid?ncies incontestables de la pres?ncia no circumstancial de l'Emperador i l'Emperadriu en aquestes terres.
Una vinculaci? que ressitua el protagonisme a la Corona d'Arag? i constata l'exist?ncia de cr?niques adulterades i reescrites que han pret?s esborrar qualsevol rastre d'aquest passat. Un fet que l'investigador Pep Mayolas recull h?bilment en el seu pr?leg: «[…] l'aconseguiment m?s destacable de 'Carles I sense censura' continua sent aquest: demostrar, sense possibilitat d'error ni amb la m?s benvolent de les lectures, que la hist?ria oficial del Renaixement espanyol –i aix? inclou el catal? i el castell?– ?s mentida. ?s falsa. Mai ning? no ha aconseguit fer tan pal?s i de manera tan clara que hi ha hagut una substituci? mastod?ntica per situar Castella a l'epicentre de la hist?ria».
Reveladora, rigorosa i farcida de coneixement, aquesta lectura presenta una nova visi? de la hist?ria i denuncia, una vegada m?s, el control omnipresent de la maquin?ria censora. Al llarg del temps, i a trav?s de l'?s recurrent de la manipulaci? i el muntatge, sembla bastir-se un discurs hist?ric destinat a preservar, per sobre de tot, els interessos del poder, i no pas la realitat dels fets.

In Casting for Big Ideas, Andrew Jaffe, industry veteran and Director of the Clio Awards, details important lessons on the management and growth of advertising agencies. He shows how the forty-year-old agency business model is breaking down because the work is becoming marginalized, as clients cut back ad budgets and hire outside marketing services and strategy firms. If agencies are to survive, Jaffe says, they must become idea-focused again and, instead of just making ads, master the art of devising the kind of non-advertising-type promotions that more quickly move a brand into the culture. Based on his long experience in the advertising industry, Jaffe offers practical advice and important lessons for agency heads who want their businesses to stand the test of time. This one-of-a-kind resource covers a subject often ignored-the business side of running an ad agency. Andrew Jaffe (New Canaan, CT) is the founding Publishing Director of Wiley's Adweek and Brandweek books imprints. He is also the Executive Director of the Clio Awards, one of the largest and most famous advertising awards programs in the world, with over 18,000 pieces submitted from agencies and production facilities in fifty-nine countries.

Throughout its ninety-four year history, Merrill Lynch revolutionized finance by bringing Wall Street to Main Street, operating under a series of guidelines known as the Principles. These values allowed the company to gain the trust of small investors by putting the clients' interests first, driving a business trajectory that expanded capital markets and fueled the growth of the American post-war economy. Written by the son of Merrill Lynch co-founder Winthrop H. Smith, this book describes the creation and evolution of the company from Charlie Merrill's one-man shop in 1914 to its acquisition by Bank of America in 2008. Author Winthrop H.

Learn why the industry initially scoffed at Charles Merrill's «radical» investment ideas Discover the origin of the Principles, and how they drove operations for nearly a century Find out why the author left a successful Wall Street career, and why it was such a smart move Examine the culture and values that built Merrill Lynch into one of the world's most successful and respected companies Revolutionary vision is rare, and enduring success is even more so. When a single organization demonstrates both of those characteristics, it is felt throughout the world.
