Описание: In this book, Patrick Costello, a practicing Certified Financial Planner(tm), shows busy investors how to implement a socially responsible and sustainable investment (SRI) strategy. Without spending an inordinate amount of time or becoming an investing expert, everyday investors can align their investing process with their personal ethics and values while earning a competitive return. Additionally, Patrick introduces the concept of "Green" investing, which is fundamentally about investor empowerment. Green investing, with socially responsible and sustainable investing at its core, goes beyond investment selection and encompasses the totality of the individual's investing experience. It is critical that aspiring SRI investors learn to navigate today's complex investing environment, avoiding pitfalls and leveraging the resources offered by the professional SRI community. In addition, a basic knowledge of the principles of portfolio construction is essential to any investor's success in achieving her goals. Only after an investor learns these lessons will she be fully prepared to build a diversified, risk-adjusted, socially responsible and sustainable portfolio. The financial services industry is rife with conflicts of interest, marketing hype and enormous amounts of media "noise". When investing through Wall Street financial service firms or national banks, investors may be unwittingly limiting themselves to proprietary trading programs and/or a small handful of mutual fund families that do not offer much in the way of SRI options. Investment professionals calling themselves "Financial Advisors" may in fact be nothing more than salesmen, eager to promote investment products of dubious value that pay high commissions. A Green investor is armed with the knowledge required to sift through financial service propaganda and media noise. She has the skills to select a financial professional who puts her interests ahead of his own, and enough of a working knowledge of portfolio construction to guard against taking inappropriate investment risks. "Green Investing: More Than Being Socially Responsible" delivers the following: 1) Clear definitions of what Socially Responsible (SRI), Sustainable, and Impact investing are all about, 2) Current objective performance information demonstrating that there is no need for SRI investors to make a financial sacrifice, 3) Practical step-by-step guidelines investors can use to add Socially Responsible and Sustainable investing strategies to their portfolios, 4) Concise explanations of the differences and similarities among popular investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) and separate accounts, 5) An overview of the science behind the construction of a diversified, risk-adjusted investment portfolio, 5) An analysis of the influence of Wall Street firms and large national banks on the investing environment, 6) A discussion of the impact of the financial media on the decision-making process of the long-term investor, and 7) Detailed descriptions of the professional training and standards of care offered by financial professionals with titles such as Financial Advisor, Investment Consultant, Certified Financial Planner(tm). To get right to the heart of the biggest misunderstanding among ordinary investors: The most current objective data show that an investor does not have to sacrifice performance in order to add an SRI element to his or her investment strategy.

Описание: In the year 2145...after disobeying a direct order, former special ops Marine Lieutenant John Kane found himself stripped of his rank and reassigned to the U.S. Space Marines -- the private army of the Union Aerospace Corporation. Now little more than a glorified security guard, Kane reluctantly accepts his fate on Mars City, the environmental community/lab center on the legendary red planet. But Kane could never have imagined the unspeakable horrors that awaited him there -- nightmarish aberrations of nature and unholy unions of flesh and machine awakened by unsuspecting researchers attempting to divulge the arcane secrets of this planet's extraordinary past. As the terrifying violence grows, Kane and a ragtag band of survivors must call on all of their skills if they can ever hope to make it out of Mars City alive -- even as those at the highest echelons of power continue their own covert and deadly machinations in a relentless bid to seize the ultimate source of power....

Описание:
Professor Pippy P. Poopypants may be the greatest scientific genius the world has ever known. Unfortunately, he has such a silly name that nobody takes him seriously! He`s been laughed out of every major university in the world.
In fact, the only place that`ll hire him is Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. Hopefully, nobody at the school will laugh at his name (or make a comic book about him)....
...Because if just one more person makes fun of Poopypants, it might just drive him OFF THE DEEP END!
Needless to say, George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants`s pride -- practically pulverizing it to pieces -- and, hence, Poopypants is preparing to pounce!
Step up to witness a brief encounter of the cottony kind. This looks exactly like a job for The Amazing CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!

Quien desbaratara los perversos planes de Pipicaca? Un nuevo trabajo para el Capitan Calzoncillos!
This timely collection allows us to hear firsthand the amazingly diverse voices of North American Muslim writers speaking for themselves. Stereotypes are overturned on every page. Shaped by an impressive interweaving of cultures, languages and ethnicities, these writers reflect on what it means to find home-especially when prejudices and distortions abound-and how powerful it can be to feel heard, recognized, welcomed. Through stories, essays and poems, they share their family lore, spiritual journeys, childhood dreams, and memories of homes they left. They offer prayers for our world. They show us how astonishingly vast and varied Muslim American identity and experiences really are-from Miꞌkmaq Muslims to Muslims whose ancestors came on the Mayflower; from Indian Americans to American Indians, from Tunisian-Canadians to Puerto Ricans to Palestinians to Irish-American Muslims inspired to convert by reading Malcolm X, and more. In this chorus of unique voices, there is a unity-whether Muslim-born or a convert, immigrant or North-America-born, a seasoned elder or a budding young poet, each writer invites us to fall in love with their humanity.

REVIEWS
Muslim American Writers at Home is a compelling compilation that sheds light on the lived experiences of Muslims from diverse backgrounds, living in Canada and the U.S. Works like this are especially important in our current times as it is critical that Muslim artists take ownership of their own stories and narratives.
- GAMA (Gathering All Muslim Artists)
These authentic, diverse and multidimensional voices lift "layers of ignorance" about Muslims and Islam as they take us beyond and beneath the mainstream, fake narrative. Interweavers of creativity and spirituality, these Muslim authors, whether born in, brought to, or fled to North America, take us to their "real" world of being "racialized, minoritized, and thus dehumanized," via firsthand story-tellings of lived experiences, as we forge ahead toward understanding, faith, love, peace and justice, inshallah. An insightful, painful, impressive, hopeful read.
At times heartbreaking and beautiful, and at times raw and unvarnished, this worthy anthology provides non-Muslim readers with the perfect antidote to the stereotypes that pervade popular media. This collection contains true gems.
- Graeme Truelove, author of Un-Canadian: Islamophobia in the True North
This anthology gives voice to diverse Americans and Canadians whose identities include being Muslim. These writings are moving, powerful, and a celebration of our common humanity. It is not a book to be read once and then stored on your library shelf. Rather, these stories should be shared and discussed with others so as to develop a greater understanding of the life experiences of North American Muslims.
- Alia Hogben, Former Executive Director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women.
These powerful, poignant, personal stories about being a Muslim in North America make for a compelling and very readable collection - one that cries out for our attention.
- Linda McQuaig, Canadian journalist & author
