Ronald Cohen Libri

A unique insider's guide to turning risk into opportunity

The Impact Revolution is a movement in which we all play a part. It introduces a simple change, but one that has enormous ramifications for our world: the incorporation of impact - impact on our society and our environment - into the way we think, act and make decisions. It is a change that has already begun, and one that permeates all elements of our society. All of us – business leaders, employees, pension savers, investors, entrepreneurs, governments, philanthropists, consumers, citizens – will place impact at the core of our decisions and actions, to create a world that works. A world of sustainable shared prosperity, and of social and environmental progress. ‘On Impact’ is written by Sir Ronald Cohen, one of the founders of impact investing, but the story of the Impact Revolution will be written by you.

As one of the founders of venture capital, which ushered in the Tech Revolution, Sir Ronald Cohen builds on his years of personal experience in IMPACT to deliver a compelling account of how impact investing is reshaping capitalism.

Un romanzo, attentamente documentato, che conserva l'immediatezza e l'emozione di una storia vera. Che cosa significa essere una geisha lo apprendiamo così dalla voce di Sayuri che ci racconta la sua storia; l'infanzia, il rapimento, l'addestramento, la d

Il romanzo è un viaggio eclettico attraverso tre periodi storici, tutti collegati dal dipinto di Rembrandt van Rijn, Aristotele che contempla un busto di Omero. Con una costante riflessione tra le diverse epoche, si salta avanti e indietro tra il tempo di Aristotele, Rembrandt e Heller: l'età d'oro di Atene, il secolo d'oro dell'Olanda e l'età d'oro degli Stati Uniti. Come nella versione di Heller della storia di re Davide, Dio sa, l'autore cambia poco nella trama originale, eccellendo nei contrappunti narrativi e storici, alcuni espliciti, altri impliciti. L'incomprensione potrebbe aver contribuito alla tiepida accoglienza di questo libro. Heller conclude che non impariamo dalla storia. Infatti, gran parte della storia potrebbe essere non fattuale, rendendo l'apprendimento impossibile. Essendo un cronista pessimista del Secolo Americano, il suo tema principale non detto è il parallelo tra l'ex sovrano ellenico e il suo paese d'origine. Questo è più evidente nel suo trattamento della caduta di Atene, quando, dopo la vittoria sui Persiani, formò la Lega Delio e si coinvolse nella Guerra del Peloponneso. Descrive un faro di democrazia che distrugge i propri progressi, trasformandoli in strumenti di abuso, rivoltandosi contro i propri alleati solo per dimostrare il proprio potere e perdendo contro nemici più deboli a causa dell'autoinganno.

Victorian dandy Lord Geoffroy Loveall is faced with a dilemma. As heir apparent to Love Hall, he must produce an heir of his own; but his obsessive love for his long-dead sister has rendered him a paralytic in matters of the heart. Adding to Geoffroy's troubles is his difficult mother, Lady Loveall, who mercilessly castigates her effeminate son, and a circling mob of greedy relatives anxious to wrest Love Hall from his grasp. Then, a miracle occurs. As his carriage passes a trash dump, Geoffroy spies an abandoned baby in the jaws of a cur. He saves the child, names her Rose, and declares her his rightful heir. The shock fells Lady Loveall on the spot, and Rose becomes the pampered daughter of Lord Loveall and his bride of convenience, the resident librarian Anonyma. This joyful period lasts until Rose's adolescence, when it becomes increasingly difficult to hide the one great secret of Love Hall: namely, that Rose, now in the position of fending off suitors for her titled hand, is in fact a boy. Rose's whiskers, deepening voice, and affection for the daughter of a courtier have not gone unnoticed. Armed with the new revelation, the Loveall's unscrupulous relatives launch a coup, and a desperately confused Rose is cast adrift -- until he finds the renewed vitality that comes from the love of true family and realizes that he can and must go home.

In dit belangrijke en controversiële boek beschrijft Karen Armstrong niet een geschiedenis van God zoals hij 'is', maar zoals de mens in hem geloofd heeft. Zij onderzoekt het ontstaan en de ontwikkeling van de idee van de ene God in het jodendom, het christendom en de islam. Wat is God tegenwoordig? Heeft hij toekomst? En, zo niet, hebben we een vervanging nodig?
