This is a book for leaders who think about legacy, their own and
the one their business is leaving. Yet, none of us get to write our
legacy, that is for those who come after us. This book and the
lessons within will enable you to improve yours. The eight
questions at the core of this book are underpinned by three big
ideas: The questions we ask matter. Businesses are the tools we use
to shape our world. Business value is optimized for the long term
when society thrives. The questions have been developed and
road-tested with business leaders and thousands of executives on an
MBA that is ranked number one in the world as ‘best for the
planet’. Applying them to your business will enable long-term
value creation while shifting it to one that your children will be
proud of. This book will appeal to business executives, leaders and
managers, MBA graduates and students, and all those interested in
transforming their organizations for the challenges ahead.

The Routledge Handbook of Indigenous Wellbeing consists of five
themes, namely, physical, social and emotional, economic, cultural
and spiritual, and subjective wellbeing. It fills a substantial gap
in the current literature on the wellbeing of Indigenous people and
communities around the world. This handbook sheds new light on
understanding Indigenous wellbeing and its determinants, and aids
in the development and implementation of more appropriate policies,
as better evidence-informed policymaking will lead to better
outcomes for Indigenous populations. This book provides a reliable
and convenient source of information for policymakers, academics
and students, and allows readers to make informed decisions
regarding the wellbeing of Indigenous populations. It is also a
useful resource for non- government organizations to gain insight
into relevant global factors for the development of stronger and
more effective international policies to improve the lives of
Indigenous communities.
Effective coastal engineering is expensive, but it is not as costly
as neglect or ineffective intervention. Good practice needs to be
based on sound principles, but theoretical work and modelling also
need to be well grounded in practice, which is continuously
evolving. Conceptual and detailed design has been advanced by new
industry publications since the publication of the second edition.
This third edition provides a number of updates: the sections on
wave overtopping have been updated to reflect changes brought in
with the recently issued EurOtop II manual; a detailed worked
example is given of the calculation of extreme wave conditions for
design; additional examples have been included on the reliability
of structures and probabilistic design; the method for tidal
analysis and calculation of amplitudes and phases of harmonic
constituents from water level time series has been introduced in a
new appendix together with a worked example of harmonic analysis;
and a real-life example is included of a design adapting to climate
change. This book is especially useful as an information source for
undergraduates and engineering MSc students specializing in coastal
engineering and management. Readers require a good grounding in
basic fluid mechanics or engineering hydraulics, and some
familiarity with elementary statistical concepts.
