The Effluent Society

Norman Thelwell

Casa editrice: Quiller

Sinossi

Artist Norman Thelwell is best known for his cartoons depicting plump, petulant ponies and their young riders, but The Effluent Society shows another aspect of his work and character. Thelwell was passionate about the countryside and nature. During his life he became increasingly concerned about the impact of development, pollution and society's treatment of the environment. When The Effluent Society was first published in 1971, his concerns were way ahead of their time. Today, environmental and conservation issues are in the mainstream and have become a global priority.

Although the cartoons focus on a serious topic there is no mistaking Thelwell's inimitable style. He used his talent and humour to convey a powerful message: the need to protect the environment. He also takes a wry look at modern life and so-called progress. Thelwell admitted that out of all his books, The Effluent Society was the one that gave him the greatest 'personal satisfaction' and, as such, the re-issue of this title is a fitting tribute to the artist.

L. Stephan Vincze

Inspiring Integrity: How to Win with Compliance and Propel Performance by L. Stephan Vincze provides an essential leadership roadmap for transforming compliance from a tedious obligation into a strategic business advantage. Vincze, a seasoned attorney, Washington political veteran, and corporate compliance professional with over twenty-five years of experience, emphasizes the importance of ethical leadership and a strong corporate culture in achieving compliance excellence. The book introduces a practical, five-step framework to create and sustain effective compliance programs, from defining success and developing a shared strategy to executing plans collaboratively and measuring results.Through compelling real-life anecdotes and case studies, Vincze demonstrates how compliance, when done right, can propel performance and inspire a culture of integrity.
