I Wonder Why
From the early childhood on, we are conditioned to try to earn as much money as possible. Only a very few people make it to the point of becoming financial independent. In this rat race of getting more and more things, do we still realize what the real purpose of life could be? We have entered a time of great uncertainty. Many nations are close to insolvency. Currencies lose value over night. Nations who embraced socialism have no money to support their illusion. People like you and me will ask the question: I wonder why I am always broke? Where are you today? Are you one of the few who have been preserved from being broke? When will you lose or have to give up your wealth? Daniel has studie...

What would you do if a law that enabled your investment to operate successfully abroad suddenly changed, and your business could no longer operate profitably there?

Managing Country Risk: A Practitioner’s Guide to Effective Cross-Border Risk Analysis explains how to identify and manage the many risks associated with conducting business abroad. Daniel Wagner, an industry expert with decades of battle-tested experience, provides the real-world insight needed to think outside the box and anticipate the impact of change on you...
Learning as Development
Learning is the foundation of the human experience. It begins at birth and never stops, a continuous and malleable link across life stages of human development. Disparities in learning access and outcomes around the world have deep consequences for income, social mobility, health, and well-being. For international development practitioners faced with today's unprecedented environmental and geopolitical pressures, learning should be viewed as a touchstone and target for those seeking to truly effect global change. This book traces the path of international development work—from its pre-colonial origins to the emergence of economics as the dominant discipline in the field—and lays out a new agenda for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, from early education through adulthood. Learning as Development is an attempt to rethink international education in a changing world.
Interpreting Your Blood Work
Your doctor has ordered blood tests, but do you know how to read the results? At some point in your life, you will probably either want or need to get a blood test, but unless you ask your healthcare professional, you may might know what the results really mean for your health. Taking time to unravel the mystery of your blood panel results is well worth the effort, since it can reveal a great deal about your overall health status. Statistics show that physicians spend an average of nine minutes with each patient, not nearly enough time to understand the complexity of blood work. Interpreting Your Blood Work: How To Read It And Natural Ways To Improve Your Results fills in the gaps so you can fully take charge of your health.
Global Risk Agility and Decision Making
In Global Risk Agility and Decision Making, Daniel Wagner and Dante Disparte, two leading authorities in global risk management, make a compelling case for the need to bring traditional approaches to risk management and decision making into the twenty-first century. Based on their own deep and multi-faceted experience in risk management across numerous firms in dozens of countries, the authors call for a greater sense of urgency from corporate boards, decision makers, line managers, policymakers, and risk practitioners to address and resolve the plethora of challenges facing today’s private and public sector organizations. Set against the era of manmade risk, where transnational terrorism,...

The America-China Divide
China and the US are in a pitched battle to control the way the world functions - from the global trade and investment regime and choice of reserve currency to its top products and which country is the most influential. Governments, businesses, and individuals are being forced to make a choice: lean in the direction of the eagle and pursue a free, democratic, and market-oriented economic and political system, or lean in the direction of the panda, toward that of an authoritarian form of government and state-dominated economic system. It is, ultimately, a confrontation that will determine our collective future and the stakes are extremely high. For some nations, businesses, and consumers, the...

Climate Shock
How knowing the extreme risks of climate change can help us prepare for an uncertain future If you had a 10 percent chance of having a fatal car accident, you'd take necessary precautions. If your finances had a 10 percent chance of suffering a severe loss, you'd reevaluate your assets. So if we know the world is warming and there's a 10 percent chance this might eventually lead to a catastrophe beyond anything we could imagine, why aren't we doing more about climate change right now? We insure our lives against an uncertain future—why not our planet? In Climate Shock, Gernot Wagner and Martin Weitzman explore in lively, clear terms the likely repercussions of a hotter planet, drawing on a...
Girlz 'n the Hood
Girlz in the Hood is the unsentimental, moving, and surprisingly humorous account of a girl and her ten siblings who grew up in one of the roughest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Mary's mother was a fierce matriarch, a single mom who raised eleven children with the help of welfare checks and a fire arm hidden in her bra. Drugs, guns, and pregnancies were everyday occurrences, but Mary and her siblings took it all in stride, spying on the grown-ups, playing in the streets, and helping to take care of the new babies when they were born. The dubious yet colorful cast of characters that came into their lives (the Jehovah Witnesses, the whores, the addicts, the "fathers"), and the never-ending ser...
