A noted economist and human capital expert, together with a multidisciplinary team, show that we've entered a new era in which good corporate behavior is no longer optional, it's the new imperative for success and they have the data to prove it.

What if the real key to a richer and more fulfilling career was not to create and scale a new start-up, but rather, to be able to work for yourself, determine your own hours, and become a (highly profitable) and sustainable company of one? Suppose the better—and smarter—solution is simply to remain small? This book explains how to do just that. Company of One is a refreshingly ...(展开全部)

Over the last decade, European company law has been completely re-written. Virtually no EU measure remained unchanged and most of them have undergone fundamental reform. This is astonishing since almost half of these measures only came into existence after the turn of the millennium. In the last five years, 'modern' European company law has been characterized by a strong founda...(展开全部)

In this provocative work, John McCumber asks us to understand Hegel’s system as a new approach to linguistic communication. Hegel, he argues, is concerned with building community and mutual comprehension rather than with completing metaphysics or developing historical critique. According to McCumber’s radial interpretation, Hegel constructs a complex ideal of how we should use ...(展开全部)

For nearly three hundred years, the East India Company dominated British trade and relations with Asia. It made handsome profits for shareholders but also provided collectors in Europe with natural specimens and man-made rarities that were prized for their scientific, aesthetic or cultural value. An array of administrators, soldiers, surveyors spent much of their lives attempti...(展开全部)

In this “striking, brave[,] and often lyrical” (The Guardian) blend of nature writing, whale science, and memoir, Doreen Cunningham interweaves two stories: tracking the extraordinary northward migration of the grey whales with a mischievous toddler in tow and living with an Iñupiaq family in Alaska seven years earlier. A story of courage and resilience, Soundings is about the ...(展开全部)

For ten thousand miles, they endure one of the longest mammalian migrations on the planet. Following them, by bus, train and ferry, are Doreen Cunningham and her young son Max, in pursuit of a wild hope: that their family of two can find...(展开全部)

《黑色佣兵团》是“黑色佣兵团”系列的首部小说，其中包含了七个中篇。这些中篇最早发表在1982年的《奇幻与科幻杂志》上，后来才结集成册出版。（我们很容易便可发现，《黑色佣兵团》的七大章节是相对完整的，每章均重新开了个头，而且拥有自己的结尾。） 所谓“黑色佣兵团”，其本身取材于欧洲文艺复兴时代盛极一时的德国和意大利佣兵团队，在书中乃是世界上硕果仅存的几家自由佣兵团之一，以信守雇约、手段严厉著称。它原由黑人组成，故得名“黑色佣兵团”，然则在小说开始的年代，由于颠沛流离，多方补充新手，早就各方人士鱼龙混杂了。“黑色佣兵团”系列以整个团队为主角，叙述了他们在四百年历史中大约四十年的精彩。从《黑色佣兵团》的北上助魔，到《钢铁残梦》的全军覆没，再到《恶水沉睡》的故土寻根，佣兵团一次又一次地在黑白正邪之间走钢丝，一次又一次地遭遇重创，读者熟悉的角色一个接一个地死去，...(展开全部)
