” David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation.. .his ideas & lessons are invaluable”. (Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why). Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance & the worst retention in the fleet. One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order, & his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a culture of followers, & they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Marquet took matters into his own hands & pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged & the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet. No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet`s approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier & happier
- & everyone is a leader.

This book is a precise & fiercely honest projection of what we know about climate change into the future of one small corner of the planet: the islands of Britain & Irel&. Kohn looks closely at six landscapes & one city to show how our world will have altered over the course of the century. These islands will, compared with the parched Mediterranean lands, let alone a devastated Africa, be fairly benign places to live. But we will have paid a terrible price for our relative good fortune. Our parks will be arid brown fields; private automobile use unheard of; water will be severely rationed; significant stretches of our beloved coastline will have been sacrificed to the sea. Some of our flora & fauna will have vanished; exotic animals & pests will flourish. Vast numbers of marginalized human migrants will be here. Surveillance & restriction of our movements will be taken for granted. Walking in what is left of 'nature' will be nearly impossible. Terrible summer fires in our upland areas will be commonplace. This is a report from the near future that we cannot afford to ignore. ...
