Brought to us by Fox News Chief Political Anchor Bret Baier, To Rescue the Republic is an epic history of Ulysses S. Grant—spanning from the battlefields of the Civil War to the violent turmoil of Reconstruction to the forgotten electoral crisis that nearly fractured a reunited nation. Desperate for bold leadership in the midst of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln turned to Ulysses S. Grant, appointing him lieutenant general of the Union Army, precipitating their victory within a year. Four years later, as president of the United States, Grant rose to the challenge of Reconstruction by advancing its agenda and aggressively countering the Klu Klux Klan. When the contested presidential election of 1876 produced no clear victory, it was Grant who forged the painful compromise that saved the fragile nation, but tragically pushed the Civil Rights movement even further down the road. In this book, Baier dramatically reveals Grant’s palpable and essential influence on the United States as it suffered through a severe period of internal division. Join us as Bret Baier brings contemporary resonance and fresh detail to the life of one of America’s most legendary leaders.

We need a solid base camp from which to map new routes forward for humanity. One that’s built on a shared understanding of how core human needs and motivations interact with social forces to shape and drive the dynamics of change.  In this new RSA Minimate, RSA chief executive Matthew Taylor introduces ‘co-ordination theory’ – a set of ideas about what motivates us and influences the ways we act together - from authority, values and belonging to individual aspiration and fatalism. This framework, he argues, can help us not only diagnose the critical challenges currently facing us - in our communities, workplaces, and public institutions - but develop new ways to tackle and solve them.  Find out more about A framework for change in Matthew Taylor’s RSA talk here: https://youtu.be/lcBy9hERTNA Follow the RSA on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RSAEvents Like RSA Events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rsaeventsofficial Listen to RSA Events podcasts: https://bit.ly/35EyQYU See RSA Events behind the scenes: https://instagram.com/rsa_events/

Powered by Restream https://restream.io/ Measuring progress against targets is vital for any business. You track your company’s sales figures, cost base, and carbon emissions — but what about your circular economy performance? As the circular economy gains momentum globally, with more businesses developing circular strategies that create growth and also benefit society and the environment, circular economy performance is becoming increasingly important. Join us in this episode as we explore the different ways in which companies are using Circulytics, the Foundation’s circular economy performance measurement tool — to inform strategic decision-making, measure circular economy performance, track progress against targets, and engage with external stakeholders. We will be joined by Cecilia Brännsten, the Environmental Sustainability Manager for the H&M Group, Marianne Richeux, Brambles' Zero Waste World Programme Director for Europe, and Ellen Jackowski, Chief Sustainability Officer at HP Inc.
