At a time when immigration reform has become a top legislative priority for both the Bush administration and Congress, the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) has convened the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future, a bipartisan panel of leaders and policy experts, to develop information, analysis, and proposals that contribute to broader immigration debates. Partner institutions in the project with MPI are the Manhattan Institute and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. This report presents findings and recommendations for sound policy reform in key areas where today's immigration policy and practices are faltering: the unauthorized population, immigration enforcement and national security, labor markets and the legal immigration system, and immigrant integration. The aim of these comprehensive reforms is to ensure that immigrants can continue to make critical contributions to America's success as a nation, while meeting the higher standards of security and service that the American public is demanding.

Human resources management (HRM) has evolved in the last few years as a result of such factors as outsourcing, work-life balance issues, globalization, increasing proportion of older workers, generational differences, etc. As such, it is imperative to revisit past views and perspectives on methods and practices in HRM in order to ensure that best procedures are being utilized. Cases on Critical Practices for Modern and Future Human Resources Management offers teaching cases from the corporate, public, and educational sectors that present critical reviews of different aspects of HRM, its origin, role and responsibilities, functions, and the future of HRM in the context of changing patterns of work, society, and the world. It functions as a resource that will spur future HR personnel to become more ethically conscious managers and citizens. Highlighting important topics that include employee wellbeing, recruitment, and retention, this book is ideal for human resources managers, organization development consultants, small and medium enterprises, non-profit organizations, professionals, academicians, researchers, and students

SASB's Technical Bulletin on Climate Risk is designed to help investors better understand, measure and manage their exposure to climate-related risk. The research finds that climate change affects 72 out of 79 industries (93 percent of the capital markets, or $27.5 trillion) but manifests differently from one industry to the next. Due to the ubiquity of climate risk, investors can't simply diversify away from it; instead they must focus on managing it-and on encouraging portfolio companies to manage it-in all its forms. The foreword to the guide, authored by former Secretaries of the Treasury Robert Rubin and Hank Paulson, emphasizes the need for better disclosure. "If investors are to effectively evaluate climate risk, they need a far better understanding of granular, industry-specific climate impacts, with industry-specific standards by which to evaluate corporate performance on these issues. By adopting a set of industry-based market standards for disclosure, especially in SEC filings, investors will be able to accurately compare and contrast companies," they write. "This latest SASB bulletin is a good next step toward this goal, and offers for the first time a comprehensive guide to understand and measure the unique climate impacts across all industries of the economy."
