In Clean Tech Nation, they shine a light on the leaders at the forefront of the growing movement. USA Today called Pernick and Wilder’s groundbreaking first book, “one of the few instances in this genre that shows the green movement not in heartstring terms but as economically profitable.” Clean Tech Nation expands on their original idea to provide concrete analysis on the efforts of the U.S. and other countries in this area, and provides a clear way forward for the U.S. so that it can lead the pack as it competes with the rest of the world.

UnMarketing - Stop Marketing...

Scott Stratten

For generations, marketing has been hypocritical. Weve been  taught to market to others the way we hate being marketed to  (cold-calling, flyers, ads); yet were all aware that no one  likes to be marketed to. People dont read newspapers for the  ads (if they still read them at all); they dont sit by the  phone waiting for a cold call; and no one rushes to their mailbox  looking for junk mail. Yet for generations we keep teaching the  same old stuff; cold calling, direct mail, advertising. Weve  come to accept that a 0.01% response rate is a  success and every no could lead to the  next yes.   UnMarketing is here to tell readers that we need to  UnLearn the old way. Potential and current customers want to be  listened to, validated, and have a platform to be heard --  especially online. This book will show people how to create a  mindset and systems that perpetually attract the right customers.  Instead of teaching the tired method of Push re the  logical choice).  Marketing isnt a task,  a role or speciality. It will help all  professionals realize that every single time a potential  customer comes across a point of engagement with your company --  you are marketing.

Equity - How to Design...

Minal Bopaiah, Johnnetta Betsch...

A fast and engaging read, Equity helps leaders create more inclusive organizations using human-centered design and behavior change principles. 
 
Even the most passionate advocates for diversity, equity, and inclusion have been known to treat equity as the middle child - the concept they skip over in order to get to the warm, fuzzy feelings of inclusion. But as Minal Bopaiah shows throughout this book, equity is critical if organizations really want to leverage differences for greater impact. 
 
Equity probes the unconscious biases that blind us to seeing systems, making explicit what is often unseen. This slender book introduces us to leaders who have overcome the obstacles to equity and led transformative change. Managing partners at a consulting firm who learn to retell their story of success by crediting the system that supports them. News managers at NPR who discover how they can create systemic support for diversifying sources on the air. A philanthropic foundation that collaborates with grantees to better communicate the importance of equity in healthcare to policy-makers. And creative professionals who have begun weaving inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility into the content they create, thereby transforming how customers and audiences view the world. 
 
Filled with humor, heart, and pragmatism, Equity is a guidebook for change, answering the question of "how?" that so many leaders are asking today.
