"For decades, we've been promised that a hydrogen economy is just around the corner. After billions in investment, hydrogen has failed to live up to these overblown promises. Yet it is as hyped as ever, a target of media enthusiasm and hefty investment from government and industry. Is it time to accept that the 'fuel of the future' may never arrive?
In 2003, energy expert Joesph J. Romm wrote The Hype About Hydrogen to explain why hydrogen wasn't the panacea we were promised—and may never be. In this newly revised and updated edition, Romm builds an even stronger case, explaining the barriers hydrogen faces. In a series of significant updates, Romm breaks down the latest methods of production, including 'green' hydrogen, hydrogen made with nuclear power, geologic hydrogen, and 'blue' hydrogen from natural gas with carbon capture and storage (CCS), laying out the challenges with each. He then explores the limitations of suggested applications of hydrogen.
The Hype About Hydrogen is essential for anyone who hopes that hydrogen will be a major solution to the climate crisis. The good news? We don't need it to be. With advancements in renewables and battery technology, electrification offers us a path forward that is cleaner, safer—and can be implemented today."
"The Eight Laws of Employee Experience is a new framework to build a future-ready organization in an AI-driven world. Bestselling author and professionally trained futurist Jacob Morgan shows that employee experience must return to its core: a value exchange where employees contribute, grow, and lead, and where organizations enable them to thrive. Based on over 100 CHRO interviews at companies like Verizon, Delta, Hilton, IBM, and LVMH, Morgan lays out eight unshakeable laws that form the new operating system for the future of work.
This book isn't just about where we are today—it's about where employee experience is going over the next decade, and how leaders can design the future instead of being dragged into it. After listening to this book you'll learn how to:
- Separate signal from noise in an era of trend-chasing with the STEEPLE methodology.
- Discover the 8 laws required to build a future-ready organization and how to implement them.
- Use futurist frameworks like the Cone of Possibilities to map out multiple employee experience scenarios.
- Conduct a future-ready audit to see where your company stands today and where it must go next.
- And much more"
"After years of investment in sustainable goods and services, most companies still aren't seeing the payoff. Why not?
As IMD professors Goutam Challagalla and Frédéric Dalsace show in this eye-opening and practical book, it's due to a basic strategic misalignment and a misunderstanding of what actually drives customers' purchase decisions. The authors flip conventional strategy on its head: companies, instead of asking, 'How can we make our offerings more sustainable?' should be asking, 'How can we use sustainability to improve the performance of our products, make them more affordable, or both?' In this view, sustainability is an intrinsic, value-generating element of an offering rather than a costly add-on.
The authors call companies that understand this insight—such as John Deere, Nespresso, Michelin, Schneider Electric, and others—clean winners, or 'resonators.' With vivid and instructive stories, they show how resonators use sustainability to create new customer value and robust profits.
Offering practical frameworks, tools, and tactics, Clean Winners is your essential guide to reimagining your sustainability strategy."
"Answers to the business paradox of focusing on serving society and still be prosperous
The Caring Company: How to Shift Business and the Economy for Good clearly shows how businesses can choose to serve the common good as #1 priority and still achieve higher performance. Rather than simply transacting with their customers, suppliers, and the local community, this book explains how companies who instead build unconditionally caring relationships with them are rewarded economically for doing so.
Written in a lively narrative style and backed by research from history and economics to psychology and philosophy and by many case studies of contemporary companies that have successfully adopted this new business paradigm, this book also discusses:
- Challenges in accepting and implementing a radically new business paradigm and ways to overcome them
- How to make employees willing to provide unconditional care to customers, suppliers, and the local community
- The origins of capitalistic enterprise, which have surprisingly been about more than just money and the future of capitalism remodeled around the caring companies"
"Entrepreneurship is messy, uncertain, complex, and risky. It's virtually impossible to devise a recipe for success when developing a new venture. But it need not be. In The Principles of Entrepreneurial Progress, business school professor and entrepreneur Greg Fisher breaks entrepreneurship down into twelve concrete, actionable, easy-to-understand principles. These principles can be applied across a diverse range of entrepreneurial endeavors, ranging from high-growth, venture-capital-funded, technology ventures to self-funded, slower-growth, more lifestyle-oriented new business enterprises.
For each of the principles, Fisher shares intriguing stories and examples that illustrate the principle, distills research that validates the principle in easy-to-understand terms, and describes how the principle can be implemented in practice. Conveying decades of expertise and practical wisdom, this engaging book provides entrepreneurs with a practical, evidence-based guide for making meaningful progress on their entrepreneurial journey."
"In Consequences: The Rise of a Fractured World Order, William Priest, David Roche, and Alex Michailoff deliver an engaging, timely, and insightful analysis of identifying the sources and challenges facing liberal democracies and their ability to confront autocracies and autocratic behavior. The authors identify and address structural flaws present in both democracies and autocracies.
The book explains why the creation and distribution of wealth matters in creating nations where democracy can flourish, and the populace at large can win. Strategies for the creation of wealth (broadly defined) and its equitable distribution combined with the democratic tools that voters, investors, and citizens have available make it more likely those strategies can be deployed. You'll also find:
- Detailed and accurate discussions of the end of the liberal world order, post-cold war historical shifts, and the challenges that lie ahead.
- Explorations of the threat to democracy posed by populist politics and philosophies.
- An analysis of the likelihood of contemporary political actors to reform our economics and politics, and the steps we can take if they fail to do so."
"In the arid Idaho desert, water is power—and murder is profitable.

His investigation leads to Basin 63, the underground aquifer that holds all of the valley's water, and a controversial desert development backed by powerful figures determined to protect their secrets at any cost. Exposing the truth won't just threaten Philip's paper—it could cost him his life.
Justice dries up faster than desert rain in this gripping crime thriller by Scott McIntosh. Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly and C. J. Box."
"Fang and fury penetrate the night, searching for those who will carry the light, in an elemental battle as old as time.
And reckoning arrives on silent feet when modern research crosses ancient ground.
In the shadow of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a research team pushes boundaries, chasing answers the modern world insists can be measured, cataloged, and controlled.
But instead, they find history does not sleep in the dust. It rises on the wind.
In the place between shadow and light, ancient guardians step forward, and the lines between protector and predator, myth and reality, fracture.
Power offers no explanations.
Reckoning comes without warning.
And the cost is greater than anyone might imagine.
The Pack Warriors carries the relentless, cinematic tale of revelation and reckoning, where the modern world collides with ancient memory. As truths surface and primal bonds tighten, the question is no longer what stalks the night.
It is who will stand when the hunt begins."

"A novel theory of how technological revolutions affect the rise and fall of great powers
When scholars and policymakers consider how technological advances affect the rise and fall of great powers, they draw on theories that center on the moment of innovation—the eureka moment that sparks astonishing technological feats. In this book, Jeffrey Ding offers a different explanation of how technological revolutions affect competition among great powers.
Rather than focusing on which state first introduced major innovations, he investigates why some states were more successful than others at adapting and embracing new technologies at scale. Drawing on historical case studies of past industrial revolutions as well as statistical analysis, Ding develops a theory that emphasizes institutional adaptations oriented around diffusing technological advances throughout the entire economy.
Examining Britain’s rise to preeminence in the First Industrial Revolution, America and Germany’s overtaking of Britain in the Second Industrial Revolution, and Japan’s challenge to America’s technological dominance in the Third Industrial Revolution (also known as the “information revolution”), Ding illuminates the pathway by which these technological revolutions influenced the global distribution of power and explores the generalizability of his theory beyond the given set of great powers. His findings bear directly on current concerns about how emerging technologies such as AI could influence the US-China power balance."
