En 1996, El líder del cambio (McGraw-Hill, 1998), de John P. Kotter, expuso un programa de ocho pasos para el cambio organizacional que fue reconocido en todo el mundo. Posteriormente, Kotter y Dan S. Cohen, en su libro Las claves del cambio (Deusto, 2003) introdujeron la triada «ver-sentir-cambiar», términos que ayudaron a los ejecutivos a entender la importancia que las emociones juegan en los programas de cambio. En Las claves del cambio. Una guía de campo, Dan Cohen desarrolla distintas herramientas para aplicar los ocho pasos para gestionar el cambio que, al lado de Kotter, plantearon en el libro anterior: cuestionarios para evaluar los problemas y desafíos a los que se enfrentan las organizaciones, checklists, comentarios expertos y resúmenes de casos reales. Esta guía es, pues, un manual de instrucciones que complementa el anterior libro, Las claves del cambio, con el objetivo de ayudar a los líderes y managers a implementar paso a paso el cambio en su empresa de una manera exitosa.

The author of the world wide best-seller, Small Is Beautiful, now tackles the subject of Man, the World, and the Meaning of Living. Schumacher writes about man's relation to the world. man has obligations -- to other men, to the earth, to progress and technology, but most importantly himself. If man can fulfill these obligations, then and only then can he enjoy a real relationship with the world, then and only then can he know the meaning of living. Schumacher says we need maps: a "map of knowledge" and a "map of living." The concern of the mapmaker--in this instance, Schumacher--is to find for everything it's proper place. Things out of place tend to get lost; they become invisible and there proper places end to be filled by other things that ought not be there at all and therefore serve to mislead. A Guide for the Perplexed teaches us to be our own map makers. This constantly surprising, always stimulating book will be welcomed by a large audience, including the many new fans who believe strongly in what Schumacher has to say.

*The International Bestseller* Is there anything more cut-throat than global politics? Wherever you turn – Europe, Russia, China, Korea, Syria, the Middle East – we are living in a time of global geopolitical power plays. Once an insider to this closed world, Pedro Banos reveals that however it might be smoothed over by the PR of political diplomacy, the world of geopolitics is one of war and conflict by strategic means, where countries have sought dominion and power over their rivals since the dawn of time. Banos presents this high-stakes game as a series of 22 universal rules on how to act and exert influence in the international sphere. Each principle is contextualised in both classical and modern history, from Bismarck to Kissinger, but also related to the current world of Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping. With titles like ‘Kicking Away the Ladder’, ‘The Tower of Champagne Glasses’, ‘The Madman’, and ‘The Mule and the Saddlebags’, How They Rule the World is a practical set of rules for engagement that can be enjoyed by anyone. Written with the philosophic, aphoristic timelessness of a von Bulow, Sun Tzu or Machiavelli, Banos has created an utterly gripping manual on the secrets of how strategic power really works.

Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.
