The Good Enough Job
"Superb."--Oliver Burkeman A challenge to the tyranny of work and a call to reclaim our lives from its clutches. From the moment we ask children what they want to "be" when they grow up, we exalt the dream job as if it were life's ultimate objective. Many entangle their identities with their jobs, with predictable damage to happiness, wellbeing, and even professional success. In The Good Enough Job, journalist Simone Stolzoff traces how work has come to dominate Americans' lives--and why we find it so difficult to let go. Based on groundbreaking reporting and interviews with Michelin star chefs, Wall Street bankers, overwhelmed teachers and other workers across the American economy, Stolzoff exposes what we lose when we expect work to be more than a job. Rather than treat work as a calling or a dream, he asks what it would take to reframe work as a part of life rather than the entirety of our lives. What does it mean for a job to be good enough? Through provocative critique and deep reporting, Stolzoff punctures the myths that keep us chained to our jobs. By exposing the lies we--and our employers--tell about the value of our labor, The Good Enough Job makes the urgent case for reclaiming our lives in a world centered around work.

Changes in social entrepreneurs through participation
This study identified a reciprocal relationship between the social entrepreneur and the social enterprise. In addition, this study identified and found that the self-transformative entrepreneur, a new construct, creates a social enterprise based on a personal need and not based on opportunity alone which is a more traditional approach. Most research focuses on the characteristics and social impacts of the social enterprise externally. Given this gap in research, there is an opportunity to add to the practice theory and social entrepreneurship literature a description of how the practice of social entrepreneurship, defined for this research, as encompassing the creation of the social enterprise and the everyday challenges and opportunities of the work itself, changes the person doing the work holistically. A narrative inquiry design aligns closely with these research purposes. Narrative inquiry is research that captures personal dimensions of experience over time and takes account of the relationship between individual experience and cultural context.
The Victorious Attitude

Controlling our mind and our thoughts is the key to success. We must remember that we all must undergo challenges and obstacles on our path. The difference between emerging victorious and strong, or defeated and weak, is in our attitudes, which determine how we deal with them. The Universe reacts to our mentality, and triumphant expressions make great impressions upon what is delivered to us. Progress in life depends upon a victorious idea of it; therefore, it is of utmost importance to cultivate mental forcefulness. The mind itself colours the personality and can be altered to align with victory and desired results.

Ethics for Capitalists
Ethics for Capitalists offers a powerful new statement of the Market Failures Approach to business ethics. While the competitive context of the market economy provides economic actors greater freedom to pursue their interests, it also imposes moral constraints on the range of strategies they may employ. The pursuit of profit must be consistent with the overall objective of market institutions, which is to promote efficiency in the production and allocation of goods and services. Ethics for Capitalists draws out the implications of this view for business strategy, corporate governance, managerial authority, and shareholder primacy. The result is a philosophically rigorous, comprehensive approach to business ethics that will be foundational for all future reflection in the field.

Geographic Data Science with R
The burgeoning field of data science has provided a wealth of techniques for analysing large and complex geospatial datasets, including descriptive, explanatory, and predictive analytics. However, applying these methods is just one part of the overall process of geographic data science. Other critical steps include screening for suspect data values, handling missing data, harmonizing data from multiple sources, summarizing the data, and visualizing data and analysis results. Although there are many books available on statistical and machine learning methods, few encompass the broader topic of scientific workflows for geospatial data processing and analysis. The purpose of Geographic Data Science with R is to fill this gap by providing a series of tutorials aimed at teaching good practices for using geospatial data to address problems in environmental geography. It is based on the R language and environment, which currently provides the best option for working with diverse spatial and non-spatial data in a single platform. Fundamental techniques for processing and visualizing tabular, vector, and raster data are introduced through a series of practical examples followed by case studies that combine multiple types of data to address more complex problems. The book will have a broad audience. Both students and professionals can use it as a workbook to learn high-level techniques for geospatial data processing and analysis with R. It is also suitable as a textbook. Although not intended to provide a comprehensive introduction to R, it is designed to be accessible to readers who have at least some knowledge of coding but little to no experience with R. Key Features: Focus on developing practical workflows for processing and integrating multiple sources of geospatial data in R Example-based approach that teaches R programming and data science concepts through real-world applications related to climate, land cover and land use, and natural hazards. Consistent use of tidyverse packages for tabular data manipulation and visualization. Strong focus on analysing continuous and categorical raster datasets using the new terra package Organized so that each chapter builds on the topics and techniques covered in the preceding chapters Can be used for self-study or as the textbook for a geospatial science course.

Wright's Manual of Compliance for the Study, Establishment and Enforcement of Standards in the Financial Services Industry was first published in 2002 on the second anniversary of the Dot.Com stock market melt-down and the first anniversary of the heinous destruction of the World Trade Center. The market environment included the aftershocks that "9/11" had sent throughout the global financial industry, compounded by the massive financial frauds of Bre-X, Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, Tyco and multi-million dollar executive bonuses, perks and stock death spirals. The regulators and the public hugely lost faith in the financial marketplace. Where were the watchdogs? Returning to Canada from the presidency of a securities firm in Nassau Wright was asked to research and teach in a timely new college graduate programme in Compliance - but there was no overarching specific text. So he researched, compiled and wrote it. This 2002 reference was entitled Compliance: The Role of the Chief Compliance Officer in Corporate Governance. It had been written based on Wright"s extensive international expertise in all four pillars of the financial services industry. When students and professors passed it about, compliance professionals and investors praised it for Wright's informative, comprehensive, hard-hitting but easy-reading style. It was pithy and solid. Readers and industry experts encouraged him to expand the manual to encompass all areas the compliance department needs to know, and use, to set up and operate a financial services firm ethically, legally and effectively. In short: to comply with proper corporate governance issues and community/customer norms. In its revised format the text, now Demons in the Financial World and How to Spot Them: Compliance, Confusion and Conflict in Corporate Governance was being put on the internet for print-on-demand sale by Trafford, which would give it far greater visibility and availability, and permit on-going revisions to keep it most current. Full of useful checklists, Wright's Manual of Compliance guides professional and investor alike to apply his understandable dos and don'ts, and to transfer from familiar experiences into the esoterica of the Directors' Board-Room.
Study on Womens Access to Empowerment Resources
A study on women's access to empowerment resources would aim to investigate the availability and effectiveness of various resources that women can use to improve their lives, including economic, social, educational, and health-related resources. The study may also explore the barriers that women face in accessing these resources, such as gender discrimination, cultural norms, and poverty.The study could take different forms, such as a literature review, a survey, or a qualitative research project involving interviews or focus groups. The research questions would likely center around the following topics: What are the key empowerment resources that women need to achieve their goals and improve their well-being?How accessible are these resources to women, especially those from marginalized or disadvantaged groups?What are the main challenges or obstacles that women face in accessing these resources?What are the most effective strategies for promoting women's access to empowerment resources?What are the potential benefits of increasing women's access to empowerment resources, both for individual women and for society as a whole?The findings of the study could inform policy and program development aimed at empowering women and promoting gender equality. They could also contribute to a broader understanding of the factors that influence women's well-being and opportunities for advancementTop of Form

Ethics for Capitalists
Ethics for Capitalists offers a powerful new statement of the Market Failures Approach to business ethics. While the competitive context of the market economy provides economic actors greater freedom to pursue their interests, it also imposes moral constraints on the range of strategies they may employ. The pursuit of profit must be consistent with the overall objective of market institutions, which is to promote efficiency in the production and allocation of goods and services. Ethics for Capitalists draws out the implications of this view for business strategy, corporate governance, managerial authority, and shareholder primacy. The result is a philosophically rigorous, comprehensive approach to business ethics that will be foundational for all future reflection in the field.

Prospects for Moral Success Theory
The aim of this thesis is to outline a plausible metaethical framework. The inspiration for this project is a desire to respond to the moral error theory of Richard Joyce and John Mackie, and to offer a version of moral success theory not subject to the same sceptical attacks.1 Joyce's and Mackie's error theory may be summarised as follows: morality is (or purports to be) normative in a kind of way that turns out to be problematic and which renders all moral judgments false.2 What I intend to do is present an underexplored (but not all together new) way of understanding the normativity of morality, and, from this, to develop an account of the conditions under which moral judgments are true. This thesis is an ambitious one given that the four central chapters (2-5) each address a different major question, each of which is pertinent to the aims of this project. Chapter 2 will address the question of which of the two major competing theories of practical rationality (internalism and externalism) is superior
