Synopsis

In "Malthus and His Work," James Bonar presents a comprehensive exploration of Thomas Robert Malthus's influential theories on population dynamics and socio-economic implications. Bonar employs a meticulous literary style, weaving together historical context and analytical rigor to situate Malthus's ideas within the broader intellectual movement of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This work engages deeply with Malthus's seminal essay on population, critically examining its reception and relevance, while also addressing the intersections of economics, ethics, and demographic theory that have spurred ongoing debates and policies worldwide. James Bonar, a noted economist and philosopher, offers unique insights into Malthus's background, motivations, and the societal conditions that prompted his infamous arguments. Bonar, influenced by his own scholarly pursuits at the intersections of political economy and moral philosophy, undertakes this exploration not only to illuminate Malthus'Äôs legacy but also to critique the misinterpretations that have often obscured his contributions to social theory. For scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the relationship between population, resources, and societal structures, "Malthus and His Work" serves as an indispensable resource. Bonar's analysis not only enhances our understanding of Malthus but also encourages critical reflection on contemporary issues surrounding population growth and sustainability.

    Be energized, but not overwhelmed 
    What’s the most pressure you’ve ever been under? How did you react? What helped? What didn’t? Over the past five years, Dane Jensen has asked these questions of thousands of high performers—from Olympic gold medalists to Navy SEALs, politicians, executives and busy parents. What has emerged from these conversations is that while everyone’s experiences under pressure are unique, pressure follows patterns and develops in predictable ways. If we can recognize the patterns, we can improve our ability to sidestep the biological traps that can sabotage us—and use the energy that accompanies pressure to thrive. The Power of Pressure combines the insights gathered from Jensen’s work with the latest research in biology and neuroscience to help youunderstand and use the “pressure equation” of importance, uncertainty and volumeescape the traps of pressure with effective tools and tacticsbe ambidextrous so that you can handle pressure both in peak pressure moments and over the long haulreduce tension, sleep better and have more energy so that you can meet challenges head-onrecognize pressure moments so that you can prepare for when you will likely the feel the heat leverage strategies so that you can give everything you’ve got when it’s most important

    Our economy is designed by the 1 percent, for the 1 percent. This book offers a compelling vision of an equitable, ecologically sustainable alternative that meets the essential needs of all people. 
     
    Seventy-one percent of the American people say the economy is rigged against them, and they're right. Marjorie Kelly and Ted Howard describe the current economic system as the Extractive Economy-it enables the financial elite to extract maximum gain for themselves, heedless of any damage to people or planet. As an alternative, they offer the Democratic Economy, which is responsive to the concerns of ordinary people and balances human consumption with the regenerative capacity of the earth. 
     
    Kelly and Howard lay out seven principles of a Democratic Economy: Community, Inclusion, Place (keeping wealth local), Good Work (putting labor before capital), Democratized Ownership, Ethical Finance, and Sustainability. The book pairs each principle with a portrait of a place where it is being put into practice, from Pine Ridge to Portland to Cleveland to Preston, England, and more. This is a powerful, coherent, and achievable vision of an economy that serves the many, not the few.

    By some estimates, we will spend over 100,000 hours at work during our lifetime. With more than half of our waking hours revolving around work, our means of producing a paycheck has become one of the most dominant dimensions of our lives, absorbing a huge commitment of our life energies. Unfortunately for so many, our work is not what we relish but rather a major source of pain. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to say at the end of our lives, “My work was worth it--the challenges, the hardships, and the rewards. I invested those years well. I made a difference”? How can we learn to work this way? 
    In Run With the Bulls Without Getting Trampled, veteran corporate psychologist Tim Irwin presents the distilled essence of what makes some succeed and others derail in the workplace. Using compelling real-life stories to launch each chapter, not only is Irwin transparent with the lessons he has learned from his own experiences, but he also shares the invaluable insights and principles he has gathered from thousands of interviews with senior executives. 
    Featuring Irwin’s seven critical success factors as well as six common career derailers, this hard-hitting but entertaining book is your guide to finding lasting fulfillment in your career. After all, you are investing so much into your job. Shouldn’t it also be investing in you?
