Catastrophes are on the rise due to climate change, as is their toll in terms of lives and livelihoods as world populations rise and people settle into hazardous places. While disaster response and management are traditionally seen as the domain of the natural and technical sciences, awareness of the importance and role of cultural adaptation is essential. This book catalogues a wide and diverse range of case studies of such disasters and human responses.

Book Description
“Moving Forward arrives at a moment when inspiration, insight, and optimism are in short supply. Karine Jean-Pierre delivers all three in abundance.” —Stacey Abrams, author of Lead from the Outside “Karine Jean-Pierre illuminates her path to insider status so others can follow in her footsteps.”—Essence “Jean-Pierre inspires us to get involved in politics—every single one of us, no matter where we are from or who we are.”—The Atlantic Most political origin stories have the same backbone. A bright young person starts reading the Washington Post in elementary school. She skips school to see a presidential candidate. In middle school she canvasses door-to-door. The story can be intimidating. It reinforces the feeling that politics is a closed system: if you weren’t participating in debate club, the Young Democrats and Model UN you have no chance. Karine Jean-Pierre’s story breaks the mold. In Moving Forward, she tells how she got involved, showing how politics can be accessible to anyone, no matter their background. In today’s political climate, the need for all of us to participate has never been more crucial. This book is her call to arms for those who know that now is the time for us to act.

The Courage to Go Forward
Author: David Cordani
Publisher: Morgan James Publishing
ISBN: 164279161X
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
The Courage to Go Forward shows that individuals need to think differently about creating supportive communities to help each other set and achieve goals, both individually and collectively. Those interested in making a positive impact on society need to consider how to complement societal programs designed for the “average” person with customized approaches tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of every individual. Focused on the inspirational relationship between Cigna, a global health service company, and Achilles International, a nonprofit focused on encouraging disabled people to participate in mainstream athletics, The Courage to Go Forward demonstrates the power and triumph of the human spirit and provides valuable insight into the formation and importance of micro communities. David Cordani, president and CEO of Cigna, and Achilles International founder and president Dick Traum come from very different backgrounds yet share a similar set of passions that eventually brought them together, forming a relationship that has positively impacted communities ranging from inspired employees to thousands of disabled athletes competing at the highest levels. Filled with wisdom from two impactful leaders, a collection of inspiring profiles of Achilles athletes, and stunning imagery, The Courage to Go Forward offers a combination of powerful inspiration and important business lessons, including the potential power of partnership between for-profit and nonprofit organizations, and should be required reading for anyone who wants to drive positive societal change, and to encourage others—or themselves—to achieve beyond their perceived limitations.

Book Description
Your past does not have to define your future. If you're running from a monster, instead of looking over your shoulder, you'll cover more ground faster if you face forward in the direction you're moving. In Face Forward, Move Forward the monster represents anything from anger and pain to shame and worthlessness. I'm running, but toward what? How can I live a life 180-degrees different from what I've known, what I had beaten into me? This is a gut-wrenching and heart-warming story about reframing life to invoke positive outcomes. A Face Forward, Move Forward philosophy provides momentum to cultivate a life of happiness, peace and self-acceptance. The real heartbeat of the story is felt in the longing to live as more than a survivor, to take life on as a "thriver." Too many people are hurt by someone or something and merely survive day-to-day, going through the motions, missing hope, joy and love. They miss becoming thrivers. If you relate, this stimulating combination of autobiography and personal how-to is for you. About the Author Arlene earned a Marketing/Public Relations degree from Texas Christian University and a Masters in Marketing from the University of Texas at Arlington. Arlene is a nonfiction writer, editor and marketer. She is a public speaker for a variety of interest groups to spread the message of hope and success that is Face Forward, Move Forward.
