FROM SMART TO WISEACTING AND LEADING WITH WISDOMPrasad Kaipa, Navi RadjouA FRESH AND TIMELY APPROACH TO NURTURING WISE, RESILIENT, AND FLEXIBLE LEADERSHIP IN A WORLD OF GROWING COMPLEXITY

Leaders tend to obstinately stick to the leadership style that brought them most success in the past, usually one of two extreme styles: functional leadership that focuses on operational excellence or smart leadership that focuses on growth. When a leader’s focus is too functional, the organization becomes introverted and can focus too much on bottom-line profitability while missing out on top-line growth opportunities. But when leaders focus too much on smart leadership, the organization may experience quick growth but lose its effectiveness quickly.

From Smart to Wise offers a new approach that balances the two styles to achieve a form of wise leadership that is both functional and smart.

• Draws on inspiring real-life stories of historical and contemporary wise leaders such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and Mahatma Gandhi

• The authors identify six characteristics of wise leaders

• Offers a practical framework to help readers develop their own style of wise leadership

ABOUT THE AUTHORSPrasad Kaipa is the CEO of the Kaipa Group and a senior research fellow and visiting professor at the Indian School of Business (ISB). Navi Radjou is the Executive Director of the Centre for India & Global Business at the University of Cambridge’s Judge Business School and a strategy consultant to major organizations worldwide.

Everybody knows that a strong pound equals a strong economy,

bonds are safer than stocks, gold is a safe investment and that high

PEs signal high risk...right? While such “common-sense” rules of

thumb may work for a time as investment strategies, as New York

Times and The Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Ken Fisher,

vividly demonstrates in this wise, informative, wholly entertaining

new book, they’ll always let you down in the long run. Ken exposes

some of the most common—and deadly—myths investors swear by,

and he demonstrates why the rules-of -thumb approach to investing

can rob investors of the kinds returns they hope for.

• Brings together the best “bunks” by Wall Street’s Master Debunker

in a fun, easy-to-digest, bite-size format

• More than just a list of myths, Fisher meticulously explains of why each commonly held belief or strategy

is dead wrong and how damaging it can be to any investor’s financial health

• Armed with this book, investors can immediately identify major errors they may be committing and adjust

their strategies for greater investing success

ABOUT THE AUTHORSKen Fisher (Woodside, CA) is best known for his prestigious “Portfolio Strategy” column in Forbes magazine,

where his over 25-year tenure of high-profile calls makes him the fourth longest-running columnist in

and their families, as well as on the life of the benefactor, and, hopefully

ways, far into the future.

THE BIG TRADESIMPLE STRATEGIES FOR MAXIMUM MARKET RETURNS Peter PhamTHIS IS A “BLUEJEANS” TO BMW BACK TO ”BLUEJEANS” STORY WHICH CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF THE SELF-MOTIVATED INDIVIDUAL’S DESIRE TO BE A MASTER OF HIS DESTINY IN THE FIELD HE LOVES

The book builds, block by block, a trading system that is powerful, yet

elegantly simple. It proposes a perspective on the endlessly complex

capital markets that distills out the noise and leaves only the most

meaningful signal using simple arithmetic and charts free of clutter to

guide investment and trading decisions.

Markets are too complex to be predictable and all attempts to reduce

them to predictability are fool’s errands. This is a trading system that

bows to that insight, and seeks to gain from the market only that which

is available. It is flexible enough to encompass most styles of trading,

from the day trader to the institutional investment manager because the

philosophy it is built on is time-independent. It is not magic or foolproof,

but rather realistic and probabilistic.

ABOUT THE AUTHORPeter Pham has over 12 years of experience in global equities trading

having held management positions on both the buy and sell sides of

the industry. He is the publisher of www.alphavn.com, a member of the

StockTwits.com blogger’s network who has partnerships with media

THE URBAN MASTERPLANNNING HANDBOOKEric Firley, Architect and Assoc. Professor at University of Miami

A HIGHLY VISUAL AND ANALYTICAL ACCOUNT OF MASTERPLANNING WORLDWIDE

This book provides important analysis of major urban extensions

and masterplans, featuring projects from the 19th century to the

present and on-going. As well as providing high quality graphical

representations of its subjects, The Urban Masterplanning Handbook

gives an important new emphasis on the processes and structures

that influence the form of these projects. It is highlighted, for instance,

whether a masterplan has been privately or publicly funded, if it has

been planned as a single entity, or through multiple subdivisions

of land, if it has been initiated by an individual landowner or by the

city through expropriation. Each project chapter concludes with the

question of sustainability, and explains the major environmental

issues for each selected masterplan.

• A highly visual treatment of the subject, the book features over 450 specially drawn scale drawings and

photographs

• This book places an important new emphasis on development processes and how they have influenced

the form of masterplans

• Features intriguing international examples from around the world

• Includes important well-known historic examples, such as London’s Belgravia and Paris’ Opéra

development and Stuyvesant Town in New York City

• Covers contemporary projects such as Puerto Madero in Buenos Aires, Downtown Burj Khalifa in Dubai

and the New Central Business District in Beijing
