A NATIONAL BESTSELLER
The U.S. Marines Corps is the greatest fighting force on the planet, but it’s so much more than that: it’s a factory for producing first-rate leaders, problem-solvers, and innovators.
In 2006, John Warren and John Thompson led Marines into combat in the world’s most dangerous city: Ramadi, Iraq. But when they got home, employers didn’t understand what they had to offer. Undeterred, they founded their own specialty mortgage company, growing it from scratch into a national powerhouse over the course of a decade.
When the two decorated veterans applied the values and training of the U.S. Marine Corps to build a thriving business, they defied corporate America’s expectations. That’s because they realized that, far from producing mindless drones, the Corps trains its warriors in adaptability, initiative, and courage—ideal traits for anyone in leadership.
In Lead Like a Marine, Warren and Thompson lay out the simple, universal rules that helped them succeed, from valuing grit and potential over pedigree, to condensing large groups into resilient “fireteams,” to cross-training team members so that anyone can step up to the plate in a crisis. While the corporate world is mired in maintaining the status quo, respecting status, and flattering ego, Warren and Thompson stripped away the fat that prevents organizations from innovating and excelling.
Full of smart, actionable advice, gripping combat stories, and entrepreneurial lessons, this book will give you the tools and the training you need to truly lead like a Marine.

The application of ecological theory and conservation biology to agricultural ecosystems has become an important and growing research field and undergraduate course component in recent years. This book is both an academic textbook and practical guide to farm conservation, and has evolved from the authors' extensive teaching experience. It covers the ecology of farmed land, how agricultural practices influence the environment, how agriculture has changed over time and how the species that inhabit the agri-environment have adapted. It also covers the history of agricultural policy and subsidies and the development of agri-environment schemes. A number of different farming systems are discussed, as are the difficulties in determining their relative merits. Guidance is offered on how to produce a workable farm conservation plan, and the final chapters look to the future and the development of new, greener farming systems.

As the global human population continues to grow, the competing demands we place on our planet are increasingly difficult to balance. Nowhere is this more evident than in our need to produce ever more food and energy without threatening the climate and the survival of other species. While decision making about land use was historically the concern of farmers and landowners, more recently land use has become a topic of heated public debate and in-depth discussions with regards to carbon neutrality, eating less meat and creating and using sustainable green energy, alongside ongoing agricultural intensification. The choices we make about what we eat and how we use land to produce it are thus more important than ever and must be balanced against their environmental impacts to ensure the future sustainability of our planet. In addressing these issues this book: · Reviews the scientific evidence for the environmental impact of different human land management activities and how we can collectively address climate change and biodiversity loss. · Examines the credibility of controversial claims made about land use and nutritional choices in the context of the online culture wars focused on the environment. · Provides guidance to shape the future perspective of policy makers. Written for those studying, researching or interested in agriculture, conservation, ecology, forestry and land use, this book explores the various strands of evidence that contribute to the debate around food choice and sustainable land use and discusses the impact of a growing population on the future of human land management.
