Par Eddie Olczyk, Perry Lefko. 2019
Eddie Olczyk had built a life and career most people could only dream of. Growing up in the suburbs of…
Chicago, he fell in love with the game of hockey during an era when most kids preferred balls to pucks. Against all odds, he played on the 1984 U.S. Olympic hockey team as a 17-year-old, and four months later he was drafted in the first round by his hometown Chicago Blackhawks. During an illustrious 16-year career, he played for and alongside some of the greatest franchises and players in history, winning a Stanley Cup with the unforgettable 1994 New York Rangers. Years later, he coached former teammate Mario Lemieux and Sidney Crosby on the Pittsburgh Penguins before transitioning into the broadcast booth, where he has become one of the most recognizable voices of the sport. He then combined his skills as an analyst with his second passion— horse racing—and became an integral part of NBC’s coverage of thoroughbreds. Away from the spotlight, Olczyk and his wife of three decades raised four adoring children. He was respected and admired by fans, friends, and peers. Life was sweet. Then, at 7:07 pm on August 4, 2017, his entire world turned upside down. In Eddie Olczyk: Beating the Odds in Hockey and in Life, one of the biggest names in American hockey has written an inspiring and entertaining memoir of his life both on and off the ice. From shooting hundreds of tennis balls at a goal in his childhood living room to the ups and downs of his improbable hockey career to rollicking stories from the booth and the backstretch, Olczyk guides readers on his journey toward his ultimate test: a battle against Stage 3 colon cancer. For years, Olczyk’s goal was to be the best husband, father, broadcaster, and handicapper he could be. Today he has a new one: to bring as much awareness and support to those fighting cancer as he possibly can. In this emotional but often hilarious autobiography, you’ll learn why the people who know Eddie Olczyk best might describe him as “tremendously tremendous.”Par Jack Alexander. 2024

Innovationen sind wichtige Triebkräfte des Wirtschaftswachstums und erklären den Anstieg des Lebensstandards. In diesem Buch untersuchen wir, welche institutionellen und…
ökonomischen Faktoren Innovationen und technologischen Wandel in den deutschen Staaten während der ersten industriellen Revolution im 19. Jahrhundert begünstigten. Dazu zählen das Patentrecht, Institutionen zur Sicherung fairen Wettbewerbs, das Bildungssystem, aber auch die Schaffung integrierter Märkte, welche die Erschließung neuer Absatzquellen ermöglichte. Die Grundlage der empirischen Untersuchung bildet ein umfassender Datensatz aller zwischen 1815 und 1877 in den deutschen Staaten gewährten Patente. Darauf aufbauend analysieren wir, wie sich die Innovationstätigkeit über die Zeit veränderte, welche sozialen Gruppen die Triebkräfte des Fortschritts waren, wie sich regionale Entwicklungsdisparitäten erklären und inwieweit Persistenz und Pfadabhängigkeit festzustellen ist.Dieses Buch analysiert die Messewirtschaft unter dem Druck multipler Transformationen.

Branche gewählt, die gleichzeitig Repräsentanz der Wirtschaft ist und selber Wirtschaftsakteur. Die Vorgehensweise folgt den Prinzipien der Real World-Experimente durch Erfassung und Analyse der einschlägigen Äußerungen, Stellungnahmen und Einschätzungen von vielen Akteuren, die das Messewesen prägen und/oder seine Nutzer sind. Sie werden ergänzt durch fachliche Expertisen und Befunde von empirischen Studien. Das Ergebnis besteht aus mehr als 1000 dekonstruierten Einzelaussagen, die ihrer eigenen inhaltlichen Logik gemäß in Clustern systematisiert werden. Diese Rekonstruktion von Zusammenhängen der Befunde ortet vor allem die Problembereiche der Messewirtschaft und ihrer Kunden. So entsteht das Bild von „Collective Wisdom“, vor allem im Hinblick auf zukunftsorientierte Lösungen der so identifizierten Herausforderungen und ihrer öffentlichen Dokumentation. Das Buch bietet keine theoretischen Ratschläge und Modelle, sondern leitet direkt Diagnosen ab und liefert damit Lösungen für die Praxis.Par Vlad Petre Glăveanu, Lene Tanggaard, Charlotte Wegener. 2023

covers a variety of topics not commonly associated with creativity that offer us valuable insights and open up new and exciting possibilities for creative action.

This book showcases cutting-edge research on a variety of themes related to sustainable and impact investments. It sheds light, theoretically…
and empirically, on three particular contemporary challenges for sustainable finance: shifts in banking towards prioritizing sustainable growth, the rapid evolution of sustainable bonds, and the growing role of women in sustainable finance. The first section of the book explores the benefits for banks and the financial industry from integrating sustainable finance into their business processes, as well as the role banks play in allocating resources towards a decarbonized economy. Chapters discuss risk reduction and the reputational boost for banks, as well as assessing the impact of new regulation frameworks targeted at sustainable growth. The second part examines sustainable financial products, with a focus on green bonds, and discusses how they can be used for long-term financing for sustainable projects, encourage accountability and transparency, stimulate market growth, manage risk, and benefit the environment and society more broadly. The final section of the book takes an internal look at sustainable finance and addresses the significant role that women play, helping to develop more creative and practical solutions, serving as role models, and increasing involvement in the financial sector. Combining academic analysis with practical examples from the industry, this book will be useful to students and researchers working in sustainable finance, banking, and financial regulation.Par Michael Sanders, Syon Bhanot, Shibeal O' Flaherty. 2023
The academic field of behavioral science has developed rapidly in recent decades. The field draws on research from across the…
social and natural sciences, and it has consistently shown that humans are not always rational. This insight has had a profound impact on multiple fields, including economics, political science, and law. Since the early 2000s, the application of behavioral science to public policy has also grown exponentially. Policymakers and practitioners now regularly use behavioral science to rethink how they develop programs and solve social problems. The impact has been far-reaching; behavioral science has transformed how we think about the economy, public health, education, and beyond. In practice, behavioral insights have been used to raise tax revenues, help people access social welfare program benefits and employment opportunities, increase voter turnout, boost medication adherence, and more. There are now hundreds of entities – international organizations, governments, business, and nonprofits – building and investing in internal behavioral science teams. Unfortunately, most of the hard work of putting these teams together and applying behavioral science insights happens “behind the scenes.” This book unearths some of the stories and insights from pioneers in applied behavioral science, in their own words. How did their teams come about, and how did they grow? What projects have worked, and which have not? What have they learned, and what would they recommend to others seeking to build behavioral science teams of their own?This book takes a deep look at healthcare in today’s post-pandemic world. It combines both theory and application to reflect…
