Managers and directors at all levels must be equipped with an understanding of risk and the tools and processes required to assess and manage it successfully.

Coverage includes: the nature of risk; the relevance of risk management to the business model; essential elements of the risk management process; different approaches to risk assessment; strategy, tactics, operations and compliance requirements; how to build a risk-aware culture; and the importance of risk governance.

This is the first full-length study of the devotional poetry and poetics of the 14th-century poet-philosopher Vedantadesika, one of the most outstanding and influential figures in the hindu tradition of Sri-Vaishnavism (the cult of Lord Vishnu). Despite their intrinsic beauty and theological importance, the poetry and philosophy of Vedantadesika have received very little scholarly attention. However, for millions who belong to the Vaishnava tradition these poems are not just classical literature; they are committed to memory, recited, sung and enacted in ritual both in India and throughout the Hindu diaspora. Steven Hopkins here offers a comparative study of the Sanskrit, Pakrit and Tamil poems composed by Vedantadesika in praise of important Vaishnava shrines and their icons - poems that are considered to be the apogee of South Indian devotional literature.

'Basement Poems' is unique in that it offers the reader an insight to a world driven by harsh reality and subdued by poetic softness. Though its contents are as sharp as a double edge sword it covers a diverse range of emotions and ideas which push the limits of both free verse and rhyming poetry to create a book that is interesting if not impossible to ignore. It expresses in descriptive detail the author's thoughts on politics, love and individual growth. This book is raw with a 21st century attitude and the images it portrays come to life right off the pages leaving the reader with questions and above all, a sense of wonder shared with the world.

"Imagine a day," write Liz West and Paul Hopkins, "when Christian young people are secure enough in their own beliefs to be able to be amongst their generation and not be influenced to join in. Imagine them influencing their friends towards a different lifestyle." It is possible. Peer-led cell groups, where young people can be honest, and can give and receive encouragement and challenge, can foster a hunger for God and instil confidence in prayer. Young people themselves can set the agendas, prepare the material, give the talks, lead the discussions. They make mistakes, but they learn. This requires a shift in thinking, from the institution to the cell. The ideas of the cell church movement are becoming widely known. This specific application is a logical further step. This book explains the pitfalls and the potential.
