This book focuses on integrated disaster risk reduction arising out of climate change and shows how communities build resilience through adaptive and transformative strategies at the local and global levels. It integrates disaster risk, uncertainty, and maladaptation to climate change with evidence from empirical research and a systematic review of existing studies. The book also proposes two important contributions, which makes it distinctive. First, it gives a systematic review of the literature to capture the changing context and concept of risk, uncertainty, and maladaptation to climate change. Second, it uses case studies from around the globe to demonstrate the ways that communities have fostered to build resilience to mitigate the impacts of climate change.

Free Download Ram Batchelder, "Rising in Love: My Wild and Crazy Ride to Here and Now, with Amma, the Hugging Saint"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1782796878 | EPUB | pages: 383 | 8.0 mb
Rising in Love tells the story of the author's extraordinary spiritual awakening in America (which included meeting an angel), his discovery of Amma (the living Guru known in the West as the Hugging Saint), and the 27 amazing years he has spent in quest of Enlightenment as Amma's devotee, most of that time in India. The book is a suspenseful psychological thriller, a page-turner from the outset - yet there so much humor in the narrative that at times it reads like a comedic novel. From another angle, it is a story of profound healing from delusion, drug addiction and despair into a joyous and beautifully fulfilled life, and as such it is a ray of hope for all who suffer from addiction or mental illness. It is also a treasure chest full of gems from Amma's teachings, and contains 22 photos of Amma. All royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to an orphanage in India.

Companies focus on both organic and inorganic mechanisms in its pursuit for growth. The growth strategies of companies are determined by the industry sector and target market influence. Successful companies utilize multiple growth strategies like market development, disruption, product and channel expansion, strategic alliances, Mergers and Acquisitions and organic growth stimulus.

Fast paced growth for a firm is a function of the extent to which company must learn how to scale up and extend its business, lengthen its expansion phase, accumulate and apply new knowledge to new products and markets faster than competitors. Therefore, there is no 'best strategy'.

Bracing, honest and set against what can often seem an apocalyptic backdrop, these stories are nevertheless full of ideas and solidarity to draw on through these uncertain times.
