Richard Branson Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Luxury villas on hot white sand, views for miles over turquoise water. Flawless hostess Penny gathers guests to an island for her husband's birthday celebrations. But she soon regrets inviting self-obsessed Eloise...When a child vanishes on the night of the party, their perfect island weekend is ripped apart. Even paradise harbours murky secrets... Has he been taken? Has he drowned? In the panic to find any trace, Penny casts about for someone to blame--even if that person is her own daughter, Rosie. Even clear waters descend to pitch black... But it's not the first time Rosie's been attacked by her mother. And it's not the first time she's turned to Eloise for support. As the sun beats down and dark secrets rise to the surface, can they find the missing child before it's too late--or will this sudden disappearance endanger them all? ...and someone among them knows the whole shocking truth.

Her best friend is dead. Emma and Ariella, neighbours in one of Sydney's most exclusive suburbs, appear to have it all--perfect homes, perfect husbands, perfect lives. But they both know dark secrets lurk beneath the surface and shallow waters can't hide Ariella's. Now she has been found murdered. Her daughter filmed the killing. Not knowing what she's filmed, Emma's daughter Kiki innocently uploads footage of Ariella's brutal death. Emma fears the worst--the killer will know what she and Kiki have seen. Their safe suburban lives no longer exist. Her husband knows more than he's revealing. Emma's husband Charles forces the family to leave their perfect life and escape on their yacht. His dangerous plan to flee means Emma is trapped and desperately seeking answers. What are they hiding from? What did Ariella have to confess? And who else knows Emma's own secret? Her secret isn't safe and neither is she.

Weaving together lessons and original stories from the world's top contributors to human rights and social involvement, this book leaders readers to a greater understanding of how we grow and develop as human beings by helping others. Cutting-edge research on the nature of personal and social change illuminates the Me to we philosophy. We can all build a better life - and an ideal world - by reaching out to others. Me to We is a manifesto and a manual. It includes tales to inspire, studies and statistics to persuade, and practical advice to motivate and guide. Craig and Marc Kielburger have written from their own experiences as advocates and global social leaders, as have supporters suc as Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Dr. Jane Goodall. These dynamic stories teach us how to live our lives as socially conscious and responsible people, engage in daily acts of kindness, building meaningful relationships through community, and focus on the impact of "we" decision making. Both modern in its fresh way of looking at the world and traditional in its return to the simplest, purest, and most basic impulse of humanity, Me to We represents a vibrant shift, a remaking from the inside out, and a new definition of success, happiness, and community. --Back cover

In this book, global opinion-leaders on the frontline of the drug debate describe their experiences and perspectives on what needs to be done.

Eine würdige Hommage an einen der schönsten Plätze der Erde, dieses Buch bietet einmalige Anreize für Umweltschützer und Fotoästheten. Es ist eine umfassende visuelle Bestandsaufnahme des Nordpols von einem der besten Fotografen der Welt, begleitet von einem Vorwort von Sir Richard Branson und Texten von Experten wie Dr. Andrew Weaver und Dr. Ted Scambos. Die Arktis zeigt die Natur in ihrer ungezähmten Pracht, während der selten bereiste Nordpol großen Respekt einfordert. Leider ist dieser unberührte globale Schatz in höchster Gefahr. Sebastian Copeland möchte mit seinem Werk diese arktische Wunderwelt würdigen und auf ihre bedrohliche Lage aufmerksam machen. Als Polarforscher, preisgekrönter Fotograf, Autor und leidenschaftlicher Umweltaktivist bringt Copeland eine einzigartige Perspektive ein. Diese Region gilt als die letzte echte Wildnis auf unserem Planeten, und ihr Untergang sollte Alarm schlagen. Copelands Autorität und Leidenschaft für die Arktis sind unverkennbar. Das Buch präsentiert poetische Ansichten, verfolgt jedoch pragmatische Ziele: Es soll die Welt dazu anregen, Märkte in Richtung einer nachhaltigen Zukunft zu transformieren.
