The world is facing dramatic geopolitical, environmental, and
technological shifts. Venture Meets Mission argues that if
Business, Government, and Society come together, rebuild trust, and
collaborate, we have a generational opportunity to address societal
challenges—climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food
insecurity and education. The book explains, with hope and passion,
how our existing entrepreneurial ecosystem, with the ideals of
democracy, can be the foundation for a new mission-driven
capitalism. The good news is the components of this problem-solving
ecosystem already exist. The authors explain what is required to
join people, purpose, and profit together for world-changing
impact—starting with rebuilding trust among Business, Government,
and Society. The authors draw on their leadership experience with
Silicon Valley innovation, venture capital, and work at the highest
levels of the federal government. The book tells engaging stories
of successful entrepreneurs, with diverse perspectives and
intersectional experiences, who combine mission and venture to
solve critical societal problems. This book seeks to inspire a
generation of students, young professionals, and entrepreneurial
executives to pursue mission-driven ventures that can make the
world a better place. Venture Meets Mission also explains why and
how forward-thinking government officials and policy makers can
harness private sector entrepreneurship and innovation to solve
society's problems.

Dharma. This timely compilation of Mahatma Gandhi's views on Hindu
Dharma is a remarkable and systematically arranged compendium of
his ideas on every aspect of India's social and political life.

other aspects are presented here in his own words. This volume is

Arnab Roy is a brilliant web designer who has been invited to
develop the tourism campaign for Odisha, India. To get a feel of
the place, Arnab and his wife Anu visit Konark, a quiet beach town
in Odisha, known for being home to an ancient piece of architecture
called the Temple of the Sun God. Arnab and Anu are enchanted by
the grandeur of the sacred place.
In the Sun Temple, Arnab has found his star attraction, the
world's gateway to Odisha. He sets to work straight away, but soon
encounters a mystery, discovering strange rocks and ancient coins
on a pristine beach near Konark.
What follows is a series of bizarre events-the death of a
professional diver, the appearance of mysterious footage of
underwater caverns, and a gruesome attack on a ministry car. Are
these events coincidences or signs of a conspiracy? The Temple of
the Sun God holds many secrets, and some of those may lie at the
bottom of the sea.
Undergraduate medical education is continuously changing to meet
the requirements for the training of future medical practitioners.
Over the last few years the concept of perioperative medicine has
evolved, encompassing the preoperative assessment and optimisation
of patients, the intraoperative and postoperative management of
these patients and importantly the diagnosis and treatment of the
critically ill patient. The relevance of this to undergraduate
medical students is obvious. Core Topics in Perioperative Medicine
provides concise, informative chapters on many aspects of
perioperative medicine, allowing medical students to bridge the gap
between final year clinical attachments in this specialty, and
first year house officer jobs. It aims to guide the reader through
the perioperative period via short, up-to-date chapters, each
giving a comprehensive account of the subject and its relevance to
perioperative medicine.
