Exploring the wealth of career opportunities open to those with an interest in economics, Pryce, Ross, Birdi, and Harwood reflect on how students can become successful economists. An ideal complement to skills and employability modules on economics courses, or as pre-course reading, the authors explain the attributes that employers want and guide students to assemble the essential toolkit that all good economists need. The content uniquely brings together chapters which demystify the roles and industries that typically recruit economists; explore the importance of strong communication, quantitative, and broader soft skills and how to develop these; and coaches readers through the application and interview process for graduate positions.

We are experiencing God always. The experience of God, however, transcends our capacity to comprehend it. We will never fully grasp what God is, but this does not mean we should stop trying. Our ideas about God set the tone for our spiritual development. The further we are willing to journey into the mystery of God, the more we will be transformed by it. The bigger the ideas, the bigger the God, and the more our lives will reflect God. When I set out to write Where is God? it was my intention to entertain the biggest ideas possible. I wanted to understand the God of all things--the God of religion and science, the God of music and beauty, the God of life and death, the God of love. This is a book of ideas, big ideas.

Everything we have ever experienced has been mediated through the wonder of creation. But where does it all come from, and why do we exist at all? God is eternally creating. Each plant, animal, and thought is an expression of God''s being. The second volume of this theology for the HERE and NOW is a meditation on God''s creative process. When was the beginning? Why does God create? How does God create? By asking these questions, we discover a God that is both immanent and transcendent. God is creating here and now. All we have to do is look.

How did the UK transitionfrom being the world's workshop to having the dependent, service-driven economyof today, prone to severe negative shocks and daunting economic challenges? In an urgent reality checkthat will embarrass politicians from all parties, hugely experienced economistsVicky Pryce and Andy Ross track the forces that have shaped the UK economysince the Industrial Revolution. Drawing on extensive front-line policy experience,they tackle complex issues such as the reaction to globalisation and the legacyof deindustrialisation; the responses to Brexit, Covid and the war in Ukraine;the impacts of climate change, inequality and immigration; and whether the lackof investment and low growth of recent years were, in fact, inevitable. Rather than placatingpopulist sentiments with false promises, politicians must now be honest withthe public about the difficult road ahead. After all, there will be no suddeneconomic reset. Advocating pragmatic solutions over political dogma, MismanagedDecline proves that good economics heeds no ideology. At a time of risinggeopolitical uncertainty, this balanced, non-partisan account offers ablueprint for a stronger, fairer and more resilient economy.
