  Every Last Fish - A Deep Dive...

  Slippery, wet, and strange: Fish can be easier to think of as food than as fellow animals. But what do we know about these creatures we meet on our dinner table and how they got there? But with warming oceans, diminishing fish stocks, and questions about fish farming practices, where will the fish come from? 
   
  In Every Last Fish, Rose George dives into these questions by exploring the vast industries that support our appetite for fish sticks and salmon burgers, and the colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. Journeying to the bottom of the ocean and back, she examines the machinations of this $200 billion food system―one that's growing rapidly even as fish populations disappear. 
   
  Along the way, George introduces us to the people on the front lines of fishes and fishing: fishermen, divers, marine biologists, fish fryers, and fishwives. Her journey ends at the fish counter, with guidance for listeners looking to make better choices, both for the ocean's health and their own. 
   
  Ranging from Alaska to the United Kingdom to Senegal and beyond, Every Last Fish is an unforgettable trip through the ocean's inhabitants and workers.

  Face it, if you’re human you probably struggle with time management, either most of the time or at least some of it. And it’s not enough to say, “Tomorrow I’ll manage my day better.” Mastering the clock takes forethought and effort—and it starts with a clear understanding of the gift of time in the first place. In Your Time, readers gain perspective on God’s blessing of time, where with each tick of the timer we move closer to eternity. 
  Lending masterly perspective that reads as flowingly as a conversation with a friend, author, businessman, and pastor Daniel W. Evans breaks down what’s really involved in learning to manage and spend our time with intentionality. From issues of time-control, tools to monitor time, setting priorities, investing time, and learning to give the gift of ours, Evans’ message is simple and direct: our earthly time is limited, and only God knows how much of the irreplaceable asset we have left. So we must invest it well! Because if we don’t decide how we’ll spend it, other people will. 
  Learn from the bite-sized wisdom of history’s brightest minds—philosophers, poets, world leaders, evangelists, and entrepreneurs, with a profound sense of its value. As Steve Jobs said, “It’s really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time.” 
  In this concise and compelling booklet—one that takes no more than a single sit-down to complete—the reader is invited to consider time from a Scriptural perspective. And they’re shown an easy formula to manage it, what Evans calls “the ABC’s of investing time.” 
  One critical takeaway: time is undoubtedly our greatest asset on planet Earth, a gift created by God. And with a little consideration and planning, we can learn to spend it wisely, give it away generously, and thrive.

  Simply the clearest and most comprehensive introduction to financial reporting available. No accounting background is required. “Finally, a handbook that takes the mystery out of accounting principles.” —Margi Gandolfi, VP Marketing/Strategic Planning of New York Blood CenterThis edition replaces all previous editions of this bestselling title based on the revised and expanded edition corrected and back to the basics.Financial Statements is a perfect introduction to financial accounting for non-financial managers, investors, business students, lawyers, lenders, entrepreneurs, and more. Financial Statements deftly shows that all this accounting and financial-reporting stuff is not rocket science and that anyone can understand it!Ittelson empowers non-financial managers by clearly and simply demonstrating how the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement work together to offer a snapshot of any company’s financial health. Every term is defined in simple, understandable language. Every concept is explained with a basic, straightforward transaction example. And with the book’s uniquely visual approach, you’ll be able to see exactly how each transaction affects the three key financial statements of the enterprise. Each statement paints a different and essential picture—the “three-legged stool” of company reporting:• The income statement shows the manufacturing (or service offerings) and selling actions of the company that result in profit or loss during a period. It gives a very important perspective on the company’s performance, its profitability.• The cash flow statement details cash into and out of the company for a period. You need money to make money. Running out of cash is bad. Duh.• The balance sheet records at the end of a period, an instant in time, what the company owns and what it owes, including the owners’ stake, called shareholders’ equity.

  Activating the Common Good -...

  Peter Block

  A powerful, inspiring, and achievable vision of a society based on cooperation and community instead of competition and commodification. 
   
  This book counters the dominant and destructive story that we are polarized, violent, selfish, and destined to consume everything in sight. That is not who we are. 
   
  The challenge, Peter Block says, is that we are suffering under an economic theology that is based on scarcity, self-interest, competition, and infinite growth. We're told we can purchase and outsource all that matters. Block calls this the "business perspective narrative." It dominates not only the economy but also architecture, faith communities, journalism, arts, neighborhoods, and much more. 
   
  Block offers an antidote:  the "common good narrative." It embodies the belief that we are basically communal and cooperative. And that we have the capacity to communally produce what we care most about: raising a child, safety, livelihood, health, and a clean and sustainable environment. 
   
  This book describes how shifts to the common good perspective could transform many areas, fostering journalism that reports on what works, architecture that designs habitable spaces creating connection, faith collectives that build community, a market that is restrained and local, and leadership and activism that build social capital by creating trust among citizens. With these shifts, we would fundamentally change the world we live in for the better.
