REVIEWS
Game changers are not looking in the rearview mirrow, focusing on ‘the old’; they look forward, anticipating and building ‘the new’. Reimagining Financial Inclusion triggers the reader’s sense of purpose, invites them to build ‘the new’ and creates a bias for action. If the pace of change outside our financial system is faster than within, it is time to rethink our relevance to society.
MARGUERITE SOETEMAN-REIJNEN, Chairman, Executive Board, Aon Holdings and Global Chief Marketing Officer, Aon Inpoint
Reimagining Financial Inclusion is a ‘must-read’ for all corporate business leaders concerned about the future of our planet. It constitutes a powerful and inspirational call to action to team up with game changing social entrepreneurs in driving financial inclusion and system change that will ensure that long-term relevance of their organizations and benefit society at large.
RONALD DE JONG, Distinguished Professor of Practice at Tilburg University, Chairman of the Philips Foundation and retired member of the Executive Committee of Royal Philips

Beyond Default
All organizations are on a trajectory to a future: their default future. This is where they will end up if they take no action other than that currently planned. Leaders are accountable for confronting this default future and taking the actions needed to set a trajectory to an improved future. Sounds easy, but the challenge lies in understanding the forces both internal and external that determine the current trajectory. Only then can strategic opportunities be explored, a trajectory of strategic intent defined and the conditions for turning strategic intent into operational reality put in place. This book won t tell you what your strategy should be, nor does it present a multi-step approach to developing strategy. What it will do is help you understand why developing and executing strategy remains such a challenge. It will also help readers understand the role they need to play at a personal level if they are passionate about leading their organization beyond its default future.

The Green Bubble
The fact is, we are hopelessly addicted to energy. It is the thin glue that holds our civilized world together and life without it would be unthinkable.
Per Wimmer, Owner of Wimmer Financial, Wimmer Family Office and WimmerSpace.com, is releasing his book The Green Bubble this November. The Green Bubble offers an analysis of the current financial bubble being created in the energy sector, by governments subsidizing renewable energy investment. He argues that these investments are not sustainable, and makes a case for investment in gas and, controversially, nuclear power.
Alongside the pressure to reduce greenhouse emissions, there is a challenge to find new, renewable energy sources. Many of the current ideas, Wimmer argues, are politically driven. The book also offers an engaging and intelligent analysis of the different energy issues that the world is facing, and how politics has led us in the wrong direction.

Power and Majesty
The first book by wildlife photographer and writer, Larry Laverty, Power and Majesty, features extraordinary images and informative text that captures the life of African elephants. The book focuses on these majestic animals and features stunning photographs from the most remote corners of Africa, from the savannahs and deserts, to the rivers and jungles. The text introduces various elephant habitats, explores the magical qualities of elephants and underscores the immense challenges they face for survival in a world dominated by humans.
The photographs and information showcased in this book will help increase our appreciation and understanding of the African elephant's significant place in the animal kingdom, and Larry Laverty will be donating all of his profits to this worthy cause. Their abilities to love, to remember, to function as families and to survive under some of the harshest conditions will change the way we think about elephants, with the hope that this knowledge will encourage more people to help save those who remain in the wild.
