Following the Brexit and Trump election cycles, consistent, long-term policy solutions to environmental and other societal challenges are becoming increasingly difficult to achieve. Stepping into this breach is a clear opportunity for innovation by public and privately held companies, as well as the increasingly significant role of investment and consumption. Sustainable Innovation and Impact provides a roadmap of the many critical pathways of positive change emerging to achieve modern day societal success, including rapidly evolving corporate and investment innovation and impact strategy considerations. Exploring innovation around the future of energy, electricity and related technologies, as well as transportation and buildings efficiency, Krosinsky and Cort consider ideas framed around the circular economy, operational and supply chain strategies and the global economy. Drawing together a diverse range of contributors and case studies, this book will be of great relevance to students, scholars and professionals with an interest in innovation, economics and sustainability more broadly.

Her fans—and she has many—love Gayle Forman for her tear-jerking books about teenagers living through life-changing experiences. The free-spirited child of supportive, unconventional parents, Forman spent years traveling the world as a young woman. Though Forman is now a major YA novelist, she started out as a journalist. Her first big success was the novel If I Stay, which was subsequently made into a movie starring Chloë Grace Moretz. The novels Where She Went, Just One Day, Just One Year, and I Was Here followed. Forman is big believer in the intelligence of teens and the worth of YA literature. Sure to be a hit with Forman’s many enthusiastic fans.
