The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a gutting account of Anant’s coming to terms with Anshika’s death and coming into his own as a man of honour. An honest and detailed account of grief over time, studded with moments of hope, beauty, and clear-eyed observations of many flavours of life suffuse this story of love, loss, growth, and man-woman relationship with a conscious frankness. The author challenges the status quo and yet upholds the sanctity of religion, spirituality, dignity, and Indian values with a progressive outlook. The book takes the measure of the complex bond of love that recovers and transmutes the past into something livable, with verve and honesty. The author’s ability to convey Anshika’s last words she did not love Anant anymore was actually an act of the truest love that leaves the most indelible impression. The Loves Loved & The Lives Lived is a good read for a very good reason: poignant, blisteringly honest, generously vulnerable, and the way Anant pulls himself out of the brink of despair and finds a way through the lifelong project of processing grief gives the book a piercing emotional clarity. - Mishmi Rao

Corporate Governance Matters gives corporate board members, officers, directors, and other stakeholders the full spectrum of knowledge they need to implement and sustain superior governance. Authored by two leading experts, this comprehensive reference thoroughly addresses every component of governance. The authors carefully synthesize current academic and professional research, summarizing what is known, what is unknown, and where the evidence remains inconclusive. Along the way, they illuminate many key topics overlooked in previous books on the subject. Coverage includes: International corporate governance. Compensation, equity ownership, incentives, and the labor market for CEOs. Optimal board structure, tradeoffs, and consequences. Governance, organizational strategy, business models, and risk management. Succession planning. Financial reporting and external audit. The market for corporate control. Roles of institutional and activist shareholders. Governance ratings. The authors offer models and frameworks demonstrating how the components of governance fit together, with concrete examples illustrating key points. Throughout, their balanced approach is focused strictly on two goals: to “get the story straight,” and to provide useful tools for making better, more informed decisions.

Tackling one of the major challenges with implementing an information-governance program, this book provides insight into the best ways to convince businesses of the value of the practice. Most information-governance programs deal with problems that are common across every enterprise--poor data quality, inconsistency of business terms, fragmented view of the customer and product, and security and privacy. However, these issues manifest themselves differently across different industries and job functions. The author has spoken to hundreds of clients across multiple industries and geographies about their information-governance programs, and as a result, this book provides cross-industry best practices as well as best applications and case studies for a variety of industries and job functions, such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, telecommunications, and media.
