Abby Falik at Global Citizen Year
by Lauren Barley Robert Steven KaplanAbby Falik, founder and CEO of Global Citizen Year (GCY), quickly read through the most recent news updates regarding the Ebola crisis in West Africa as she prepared for her board call on July 31, 2014. Based in Oakland, California, GCY was a five-year-old not-for-profit with a fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget of $3.5 million. Its mission was to make it much more the norm for graduating high school students in the U.S. to choose a "bridge year." GCY believed this experience after high school, but before college, would help students build self-awareness, learn about the world, and develop grit. In turn, GCY felt these attributes laid the foundation for success in college, and beyond.
The Abc and Xyz of Bee Culture
by Kim Flottum Roger A. MorseIt has not been thought necessary to reproduce the prefaces of each succeeding edltion of this work. All told, there have been thirty-nine editions. It therefore transpires that the book, ABC of Bee Culture for beginners, written by A. I. Root, has become the ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture. Although A. I. Root's health allowed him to spend only about fifteen active years in beekeeping and bee supply manufacturing, he nevertheless had a profound effect on the beekeeping industry. He was among the first to point out that the Langstroth hive and frame were superior to all those preceding. He did much to standardize beekeeping equipment, especially the hive, making supers interchangeable with brood chambers. Prior to his efforts there were practically as many different shapes and sizes of hives and frames as there were beekeepers.

ABC de la espiritualidad en los negocios
by Dr Rosie KuhnSi yo fuera usted, sentado al filo de su asiento, con la curiosidad suficiente de abrir un libro con el tema de espiritualidad y negocios, estaría leyéndome a mí misma para – qué, no estoy muy segura. Sé que tendría un par de preguntas en mente. Tendría curiosidad sobre la filosofía o creencias de esta autora. También tendría curiosidad sobre si este tema tiene que ver personalmente conmigo. Me pregunto si esto será algo honesto, más alto que la persona poderosa que va a predicar sobre algún dogma de lo que es correcto y lo que está mal en el mundo corporativo o de los negocios. ¿Me va a decir que medite u ore antes, durante y después de cada reunión o que lea la Biblia, el Torá o las Vedas? Eso es lo que yo me preguntaría si fuera usted.

The ABC's of Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) Policy: Spelling Out Problems, Consequences and Viable Solutions
by Joseph P. LaneInnovation is a widely applied yet poorly understood term in the context of public policies and practices among Western nations. Technological innovations specifically have and will continue to advance civilization, shape modern society, and drive the economic health and geo-political standing of nations. This book offers a unique interpretation of science, technology & innovation (STI) policies in Western nations, particularly in regard to government-sponsored programs. The author challenges established thinking, directly addressing numerous myths that cloud our understanding of innovation and proposes a fresh perspective grounded in fundamental logic and analysis. Written in short chapters and presented in an alphabetically organized framework, this book addresses what is working and what isn’t working in current STI policies and suggests that the most efficient and effective way to generate technological innovations that yield the desired socio-economic benefits, is for national governments to sponsor directed scientific research and directed engineering development, and align both with the requirements of carefully managed commercial production. The book also features examples drawn from government data, scholarly literature, practitioner anecdotes and the author’s personal experience.
The ABCs of Socialism
by Bhaskar Sunkara Phil WrigglesworthSlim, accessible, inexpensive, irreverent introduction to socialism by the writers of Jacobin magazineThe remarkable run of self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" Bernie Sanders for president of the United States has prompted--for the first time in decades and to the shock of many--a national conversation about socialism. A New York Times poll in late November found that a majority of Democrats had a favorable view of socialism, and in New Hampshire in February, more than half of Democratic voters under 35 told the Boston Globe they call themselves socialists. It's unclear exactly what socialism means to this generation, but couple with the ascendancy of longtime leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party in the UK, it's clear there's a historic, generational shift underway.This book steps into this moment to offer a clear, accessible, informative, and irreverent guide to socialism for the uninitiated. Written by young writers from the dynamic magazine Jacobin, alongside several distinguished scholars, The ABCs of Socialism answers basic questions, including ones that many want to know but might be afraid to ask ("Doesn't socialism always end up in dictatorship?", "Will socialists take my Kenny Loggins records?"). Disarming and pitched to a general readership without sacrificing intellectual depth, this will be the best introduction an idea whose time seems to have come again.From the Trade Paperback edition.
