Summary

The overwhelming evidence produced by scientific and economic experts shows clearly that sustainability dangers of climate change can be far worse than the disruptions caused by Covid-19 pandemic. The adverse consequences of climate change pose a real threat to humanity. Adverse impacts to the environment threaten food security and its interdependency which the entire social system is relying on. The UN Sustainable Development Goals have given global communities and their leaders a vision of the future, clarity of purpose, a responsibility for all to embrace and a commitment for all to participate. Within this context, ‘Sustainability is the future’ reminds readers of the opportunities and the alternatives towards mitigating the economic and social risks posed by the dangers of mounting sustainability concerns. A longer-term solution involves a massive shift in the attitudes and actions. There are available technologies and digital means, but accessibility and affordability remain a challenge.  At no time in the history of humanity has there been a more urgent need for political and community leaders to take appropriate actions towards achieving the sustainable development goals. There is enough evidence that governments partnering a broad range of stakeholders can meet this expectation. The book debates what needs to be done, as well as reminding readers that failure to do so will leave the fragile earth in a more fractured state and make it harder to repair. The clock is already ticking

    A passionate advocate for women of color shares her personal story as well as interviews with female changemakers across the globe. 
 
Vasudha Sharma immigrated to the United States to find better opportunities. She soon discovered what the glass ceiling looks like in one of the world’s most advanced nations. Today, that ceiling shows some encouraging cracks—from more executive women to Kamala Harris’s historic ascent to the vice presidency. But how long will it take for a major impact to finally shatter it?  
 
In Why She Must Lead, Vasudha draws on inspiration and interviews with women around the world to envision how issues like the pay gap, broken rungs, and lack of mentorship can be filtered out systematically, and how workplaces can uplift the most underrepresented group of women. Vasudha kindles the call for women of color to challenge the status quo and lead with purpose.  
 
Why She Must Lead will help women:  
 
• Analyze reports related to the leadership gap for minority women  
 
• Understand the causes for a leaky talent pipeline  
 
• Create personalized approaches to eliminating barriers and bias  
 
• Deepen their insight about how to minimize the leadership gap  
 
• Rise as a leader to champion equity goals for themselves or their organization

    "This book was among the first ten on investing I ever read. . . . It remains important for anyone seriously interested in capital markets, financial journalism, or even their own personal investments." —From the Foreword by Ken Fisher, CEO of Fisher Investments and Forbes columnist 
"Loeb tells us to put all our eggs in one basket, and watch the basket." —John Rothchild, Financial Columnist, Time magazine 
"This book is very special in my life. It is the very first Wall Street book I ever read. After reading 1,200 additional finance books, The Battle for Investment Survival's principles and concepts are still valid for consistent success." —Victor Sperandeo, Author of Trader Vic on Commodities 
In The Battle for Investment Survival, the turf is Wall Street, the goal is to preserve your capital at all costs, and to win is to "make a killing without being killed." This memorable classic, originally written in 1935, offers a fresh perspective on investing from times past. The Battle for Investment Survival treats investors to a straightforward account of how to profit—and how to avoid profit loss—in what Loeb would describe as the constant tug-of-war between rising and falling markets. This audio edition is deftly narrated by Scott R. Pollak, narrator of Benjamin Graham and David Dodd's timeless best-seller, Security Analysis.
