: The greatest Heroes have already fallen.Now it's up to Claire and her ragtag crew of Zeroes to save the city.
Low-ranked contractors Claire, Elise, Norah, and Piper dream of making it to the top twenty with the Stewards of Light, but their weird RPG powers have them trapped near the bottom instead.

Claire and her friends will have to unravel the mess with clever teamwork and determination, and find the top-rank heroes in themselves to save the city before it falls into darkness.

: The author of <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600">The Good Detective delivers a gripping and atmospheric new novel in which a cop takes on a harrowing case and confronts old personal demons.
What if the one good thing you did in your life doomed you to die?
A hard-nosed real estate baron is dead, and detectives P.T. Marsh and Remy Morgan learn there's a long list of suspects. Mason Falls, Georgia, may be a small town, but Ennis Fultz had filled it with professional rivals, angry neighbors, and a wronged ex-wife. And when Marsh realizes that this potential murder might be the least of his troubles, he begins to see what happens when ordinary people become capable of evil.
As Marsh and Morgan dig into the case, it becomes clear that Fultz's death was not an isolated case of revenge. It may be part of a dark web of crimes connected to an accident that up-ended Marsh's life a couple years earlier--and that now threatens the life of a young child. Marsh veers dangerously off track as his search for clues becomes personal..and brings him to a place where a man's good deeds turn out to be more dangerous than his worst crimes. **

There's just one tiny problem: He's dead.
Stuck in a surreal limbo governed by bureaucracy, Thomas is unable to "cross over" to the afterlife until he completes a 90-day stint on earth, during which time he is forbidden to get involved with a member of the living-lest he incur "regrets."

Strategic Risk Management New Tools for Competitive Advantage in an Uncertain Age by Paul C Godfrey Emanuel Lauria John Bugalla Kristina Narvaez
epub | 1.58 MB | English | Kristina Narvaez, John Bugalla Bugalla, Emanuel Lauria, Paul C. Godfrey | 2020
: This book presents a new approach to risk management that enables executives to think systematically and strategically about future risks and deal proactively with threats to their competitive advantages in an ever more volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world.
Organizations typically manage risks through traditional tools such as insurance and risk mitigation; some employ enterprise risk management, which looks at risk holistically throughout the organization. But these tools tend to focus organizational attention on past actions and compliance. Executives need to tackle risk head-on as an integral part of their strategic planning process, not by looking in the rearview mirror.
Strategic Risk Management (SRM) is a forward-looking approach that helps teams anticipate events or exposures that fundamentally threaten or enhance a firm's position. The authors, experts in both business strategy and risk management, define strategic risks and show how they differ from operational risks. They offer a road map that describes architectural elements of SRM (knowledge, principles, structures, and tools) to show how leaders can integrate them to effectively design and implement a future-facing SRM program. SRM gives organizations a competitive advantage over those stuck in outdated risk management practices. For the first time, it enables them to look squarely out the front windshield.

The Trillion Dollar Revolution How the Affordable Care Act Transformed Politics, Law, and Health Care in America
Type : epub |
Size : 2.56 MB |
English |
: Ten years after the landmark legislation, Ezekiel Emanuel leads a crowd of experts, policy-makers, doctors, and scholars as they evaluate the Affordable Care Act's history so far.
On the 10th anniversary of the signing of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) - arguably the most significant piece of social legislation in over a half-century - this collection of essays from a number of leading policymakers, academics, journalists, lawyers, and healthcare providers examines the law's legacy so far.
The ACA sought to dramatically expand health insurance coverage -- and reform health care delivery in America in the process. Ten years later, after surviving several bruising political and legal battles, the law has both fallen short of its original ambitions and proven more influential than anticipated.
As the country continues to grapple with the ACA's legacy, this collection - which includes contributions from former secretary of the...

The Home Stretch
epub | 4.74 MB | English | Sally Howard
: Forty years of feminism, and still women do the majority of the housework. Why?
In fact, whilst we're making slow but steady gains on gender disparities in the workplace, at home the gap is widening - in the UK, middle-class men in their forties do less housework than their Baby Boomer counterparts did, while young American men are now twice as likely as their fathers to think a woman's place is in the home. In the course of a year, the average heterosexual British woman puts in 12 more days of household labour than her male companion. And when 'having it all' so often means hiring a nanny or cleaner, is it something to aspire to?
Sally Howard joins up with a cohort of feminist separatists, undertakes a day's shift with her Lithuanian cleaner, lives in a futuristic model home designed to anticipate our needs and meets latte papas and one-percent parents in this lively examination which combines history and fieldwork with her personal story.
