Motivation is the driving force that compels individuals to take action, achieve goals, and overcome challenges. It is a deeply personal yet universally relevant concept, influencing every aspect of our lives—from personal aspirations to professional ambitions. Understanding and harnessing the power of motivation can transform the way we approach challenges, build resilience, and find fulfillment in our pursuits.  
  
At its core, motivation answers the fundamental question: why do we do what we do? For some, it may be the desire to provide a better life for their families, while for others, it could be the pursuit of personal growth, recognition, or self-expression. Whatever the reason, motivation stems from a combination of internal and external factors that ignite a sense of purpose and drive.  
  
The importance of motivation cannot be overstated. In professional settings, it often distinguishes high achievers from those who struggle to meet expectations. Similarly, in personal endeavors, motivation serves as the cornerstone of lasting change, pushing us toward healthier habits, stronger relationships, and a more balanced life. Without it, even the most promising goals can feel insurmountable, leading to stagnation or frustration.

Along California's coastline, the Pacific Ocean is rising and pressing in, imperiling both wildlife and the maritime towns and cities that millions of people call home. In California Against the Sea, Los Angeles Times coastal reporter Rosanna Xia asks: As climate chaos threatens the places we love so fiercely, will we finally grasp our collective capacity for change? 
 
 
 
Xia, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, investigates the impacts of engineered landscapes, the market pressures of development, and the ecological activism and political scrimmages that have carved our contemporary coastline—and foretell even greater changes to our shores. From the beaches of the Mexican border up to the sheer-cliffed North Coast, the voices of Indigenous leaders, community activists, small-town mayors, urban engineers, and environmental scientists commingle. Together, they chronicle the challenges and urgency of forging a climate-wise future. Xia's investigation takes us to Imperial Beach, Los Angeles, Pacifica, Marin City, San Francisco, and beyond, weighing the rivaling arguments, agreements, compromises, and visions governing the State of California's commitment to a coast for all. Through graceful reportage, she charts how the decisions we make today will determine where we go tomorrow: headlong into natural disaster, or toward an equitable refashioning of coastal stewardship.

The term "emerging market" refers to a country where incomes are currently low but that is likely to experience rapid growth and increasing economic competitiveness. Yet many of the characteristics of emerging markets—including demographic shifts, rising educational attainment, and growing urbanization—are also found closer to home, in communities that have been underserved by the existing financial-services system. 
 
 
 
Gregory Fairchild introduces listeners to the rising set of entrepreneurs whose efforts to reach marginalized groups are reshaping the emerging markets of the United States. He explores how minority-owned and community-development institutions are achieving innovations in consumer- and small-business-targeted financial services to further economic development and reduce inequality. He analyzes the models of these organizations, measures their successes and failures, and provides suggestions for sustainable growth of similar organizations. Bringing together quantitative research, powerful stories of real-world entrepreneurs, and nuanced insights on public policy, Emerging Domestic Markets offers a vital set of prescriptions for inclusive financial development.
