* How small local businesses are growing into nationwide industries by adapting to the needs, preferences, and buying habits of Alibaba customers

This is the most cost-effective way to make the most of your resources—and take the e-commerce world by storm. This is The Alibaba Way—growing by unleashing grassroots entrepreneurship. It’s the ultimate e-commerce success story—a powerful new growth model for small business start-ups and grassroots entrepreneurs. Part eBay, part Google, part PayPal, the Chinese company known as Alibaba was launched by its founder Jack Ma in 1999 in a small apartment with a staff of only eighteen people. It quickly became one of the fastest growing Internet companies in the world, with more than 10 million e-commerce participants and a digital ecosystem serving a hundred million consumers per day.

The New Confessions of an Economic Hit Man

Author(s): John Perkins

ABOUT THE BOOK The previous edition of this now-classic book revealed the existence and subversive manipulations of "economic hit men.” John Perkins wrote that they “are highly paid professionals who cheat countries around the globe out of trillions of dollars. Their tools include fraudulent financial reports, rigged elections, payoffs, extortion, sex, and murder.” In Perkins's case the tool was debt—convincing strategically important countries to borrow huge amounts of money for enormous, “development “ projects that served the very rich while driving the country deeper into poverty and debt. And once indebted, these countries could be controlled. In this latest edition, Perkins provides revealing new details about how he and others did their work. But more importantly, in an explosive new section he describes how the EHM tools are being used around the world more widely than ever—even in the U. S. itself. The cancer has metastasized, yet most people still aren't aware of it. Fear and debt drive the EHM system. We are hammered with messages that terrify us into believing that we must pay any price, assume any debt, to stop the enemies who, we are told, lurk at our doorsteps. The EHM system—employing false economics, bribes, surveillance, deception, debt, coups, assassinations, unbridled military power—has become the dominant system of economics, government, and society today. It has created what Perkins calls a “Death Economy.” But Perkins offers hope: he concludes with dozens of specific, concrete suggestions for actions all of us can take to wrest control of our world away from the economic hit men, and help give birth to a Life Economy. ABOUT THE AUTHOR John Perkins was formerly Chief Economist at a major international consulting firm where he advised the World Bank, United Nations, the IMF, U.S. Treasury Department, Fortune 500 corporations, and governments in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. Since then, his books on economics and geo-politics have sold more than 1 million copies, spent many months on the New York Times and other bestseller lists, and have been published in over 30 languages. He is a founder and board member of Dream Change and The Pachamama Alliance, nonprofits devoted to establishing a world our children will want to inherit.

Doing the Right Things Right: How the Effective Executive Spends Time

Author(s): Laura Stack

ABOUT THE BOOK As an MBA student, Laura Stack was inspired by Peter Drucker's classic 1967 book The Effective Executive. But a lot has changed since it was written. And while Drucker's advice on what to do remains brilliant, he didn't give much detail on the how. Stack's new book is written for the 21st-century executive, detailing precisely how today's leaders and managers can obtain profitable, productive results by managing the intersection of two critical values: effectiveness and efficiency. Effectiveness, Stack says, is identifying and achieving the best objectives for your organization—doing the right things. Efficiency is accomplishing them with the least amount of time, effort, and cost—doing things right. If you're not clear on both, you're wasting your time. As Drucker put it, “There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.” Stack identifies twelve practices that will enable executives to be effective and efficient, grouped into three areas where leaders spend their time, called 3T Leadership: Strategic Thinking (business), Teamwork (employees), and Tactics (self). For each practice, Stack offers advice from her twenty-five years in the trenches working with thousands of leaders globally. You'll receive scores of new ideas on how you, your team, and your organization can boost productivity. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Laura Stack, MBA, CSP, CPAE, is an award-winning keynote speaker, bestselling author, and noted authority on productivity. She is the CEO and president of the Productivity Pro, Inc., and a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame.

When Money Talks: The High Price of "Free" Speech and the Selling of Democracy Author(s): Derek Cressman

ABOUT THE BOOK Special-interest money is destroying our democratic process. But now that the Citizens United decision has thrown out campaign spending limits as abridgments of free speech, Americans want to know what they can do about it. Derek Cressman gives us the tools, both intellectual and tactical, to fight back. There's nothing inherently unconstitutional in limiting the amount of speech, Cressman insists. We do it all the time—for example, cities control when and where demonstrations can take place or how long people can speak at council meetings. Moreover, he argues that while you choose to patronize Fox News, MSNBC, the New York Times, or the Wall Street Journal, political advertising is forced upon you. It's not really free speech at all—it's paid speech. It's not at all what the Founders had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment. Cressman examines how courts have foiled attempts to limit campaign spending, details what a constitutional amendment limiting paid speech should say, and reveals an overlooked political tool concerned citizens can use to help gain the amendment's passage. Seven times before in our history we have approved constitutional amendments to overturn wrongheaded rulings by the Supreme Court—there's no reason we can't do it again. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Derek Cressman has worked professionally to strengthen campaign finance laws since 1995 as director of U.S. PIRG’s Democracy Program and a national vice president with Common Cause. He ran for California secretary of state in June 2014. www.derekcressman.com Thom Hartmann is a nationally and internationally syndicated talkshow host whose radio and TV shows are available in over a billion homes nationwide. He is the author of 24 books, most recently the bestselling The Crash of 2016.

The 3 Gaps: Are You Making a Difference?

Author(s): Hyrum Smith, Richard Godfrey

ABOUT THE BOOK For a Better Life, Close the Gaps! We all want to make a difference. But just as you need to put on your own oxygen mask before helping other passengers on an airplane, getting your own life together is the first step to making a positive impact in the world. Franklin Covey cofounder Hyrum Smith shows that what stops us are gaps between where we are and where we want to be. The first is the Beliefs Gap, between what we believe to be true and what is actually true. The second is the Values Gap, between what we value most in life and what we actually spend our life doing. The third is the Time Gap, between what we plan to do each day and what we actually get done. Smith offers a practical blueprint that we all can use to recognize and close each of these three gaps and illustrates how it can be done through inspiring true stories. The 3 Gaps provides the concepts and the tools needed to establish a solid foundation from which you can help make the world a better place. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Hyrum W. Smith is a distinguished author, speaker, and businessman. He is the cofounder and former Chairman and CEO of Franklin Covey and the cofounder of 3Gaps, a personal and organizational training company.

Accounting for Business Combinations

Author(s): Frank J. Beil

ABOUT THE BOOK Business Acquisitions, or 'Combinations,' are among the most important decisions that managers make regarding the future success of the firm. Combinations have the potential to radically alter the economics of the acquiring company in integrating the acquired firm into the company's business model(s). Therefore, it is inherent that practicing managers get the 'economics' right when making business acquisitions as they will be communicated to users in the company's financial statements. Accounting for business combinations is one of the most complex accounting challenges that the finance and accounting functions of the company will encounter. The application of the fair value measurement standards as well as the recognition and measurement of acquired intangible assets and contingencies, both acquired and promised, require a unique blend of skills in accounting and valuation. This book is designed for managers and executives to be a comprehensive, yet accessible resource, in understanding the economics of both sides of the transaction; assets and liabilities acquired and consideration transferred. The book's primary purpose is to provide managers and executives with practical advice and counsel on 'structuring' business acquisitions for the economic benefit of the acquiring firm. This is accomplished by having knowledge of the financial statement impacts that business acquisitions will have on the company's reported financial statements.

Sustainability Reporting: Getting Started, Second Edition Author(s): Gwendolen White

ABOUT THE BOOK Sustainability reporting provides nonfinancial and financial indicators of an organization’s environmental, economic, and social dimensions of its operations. The globalization of corporations and widely publicized corporate misdeeds (e.g., Nike’s child labor problems) has increased public scrutiny of corporate behavior. As pressure grows from a variety of stakeholders (e.g., investors, creditors, customers, and NGOs) for corporate transparency, sustainability reports provide vital information to meet the demand for disclosures about environmental, economic, and social impacts. In addition to addressing stakeholders’ demands, this reporting enhances internal decision-making. Managers are better able to assess risks, monitor company resources, establish competitive advantage, create employee loyalty, and engage stakeholders.

Light on Peacemaking: A Guide To Appropriate Dispute Resolution and Mediating Family Conflict Author(s):

ABOUT THE BOOK Many books have been written about the practice of peacemaking, and few, if any, deal with the non-violent, spiritual side of this ancient science, discipline, practice and art form. This book will speak to that lack and explore the spiritual, non-violent element in peacemaking as it applies to mediating family law disputes. Universities will find the book helpful as a textbook in their peacemaking and mediation degree and certificate programs, most particularly, in those courses that stress a pragmatic, spiritual, eclectic and educated approach to non-adversarial, peaceful conflict resolution. The book is intended for the professional peacemaker, mediator, lawyer, law student, conciliator, and dispute neutral. Everyday people who wish to improve their own communication skills and strengthen their primary relationships will profit greatly from this book. These individuals, particularly those in the family law field, will find much benefit from the peacemaking processes, and family counseling psychology. Mental health family practitioners, who are often called upon to act as default, if not formal mediators and neutrals, will find useful the mediation and peacemaking experiences, techniques and literature related here. Light On Peacemaking also offers the Yoga practitioner a very practical avenue, through example in the legal field, for engaging in seva or service to humanity.

War Stories: Fighting, Competing, Imagining, Leading

Author(s): Leigh Hafrey

ABOUT THE BOOK War Stories: Fighting, Competing, Imagining, Leading advances a leadership model for business that takes Americans beyond combat and competition as the default setting for our daily enterprise. The book draws on feature and documentary films, TV, social science, and journalism to show that, in the 21st century, the United States is reaping the fruit of a long-standing and deep-rooted faith in one take on business practice. Rooted in the history of World War II and the Vietnam era, War Stories traces an arc of military American self-perception on the screen, the printed page, and in public conversation over the past 20 years. It juxtaposes to that arc a different, potentially more liberating and productive story, linking personal and professional commitments to organizational culture and, finally, systems thinking. Ethical, sustainable business practice depends on leaders who can tell that story of business in society, integrating public, private, and civil sector imperatives for an audience eager to engage them.

The Economics of Civil and Common Law Author(s): Zagros Madjd-Sadjadi

ABOUT THE BOOK More than anything else, law in its various forms creates the working rules of an economy, for better or for worse. The popular refrain 'there ought to be a law' is a desire to alter future outcomes when current or past outcomes seem to the public to be inconsistent with their notions of fairness and justice. Regardless, many, if not most, laws applied to our economic system create severe inefficiencies such as minimum wage legislation and rent control laws; these actually serve to deny individuals work and shelter in a haphazard and capricious manner. Law also dictates property rights, yet eminent domain lets the State take it away with seemingly arbitrary compensation to the owner. It is for this reason that workers, employers, managers and others have a stake in understanding the interplay between law and economics and how to evaluate laws to determine whether and how their business property and equity may be impacted by them. It is also incumbent upon individuals to understand the process of rulemaking as a mechanism that can be designed to reduce the transactions costs that cause us to resort to the legal system to resolve disputes. One unique aspect of this book is that it is written with both economists and non-economists in mind. 17

The History and Spirit of Chinese Art (2-Volume Set)

Author(s): Zhang Fa

ABOUT THE BOOK Art is always a product of cultural evolution, and The History and Spirit of Chinese Art looks at this universal process as it unfolded in ancient China. With “mountain-water” landscape paintings, works of classical Chinese calligraphy, and blue and white porcelain widely displayed in museums and fetching high prices in auction houses worldwide, Chinese art is no longer foreign to the Western world. However, to many, the making of such cultural artefacts remains an enigmatic process. Indeed, Chinese art, the product of such an old civilization, was shaped by an ongoing process of evolution along the ebbs and flows of China’s history as a nation. In The History and Spirit of Chinese Art, aesthetics expert Zhang Fa deciphers the philosophies and thoughts that have defined Chinese art since the very beginning of the Chinese civilization, moving through the dynastic landmarks of artistic development with discussions of numerous art forms including paintings, architecture, dance and music, calligraphy, and literature. Content Highlights

• Origins of Chinese Artistic Motifs in Pre-Qin Primitive Society • Architecture, Sculpture, Epideictic Rhapsody, and Portraits in the Qin and Han Dynasties, under a New

Concept of the Universe • Artistic Grandeur in the Tang Dynasty, the Cultural Pinnacle of Ancient China • Cultural and Artistic Transitions in the Song Dynasty - Embracement of the Popular, Realistic, and Pragmatic in Yuan, Ming, and Qing Art

Currently, he also sits on the Board of the Chinese Association for Aesthetics and Chinese Comparative Literature Association.
