The Royal Academy of Music is one of the most prestigious conservatories in the world, training generations of eminent musicians for all parts of the profession. Its alumni include Henry Wood, John Barbirolli, Myra Hess, Felicity Lott, Simon Rattle, Harrison Birtwistle, Elton John, Annie Lennox and Jacob Collier. Royal Academy graduates populate all the great orchestras and opera houses of the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Metropolitan Opera, New York. They are players, singers, composers, conductors, curators, animateurs and teachers.0Approaching its bicentenary, the Royal Academy is Britain's oldest conservatoire. An international organisation from its foundation, it has just completed a transformative programme of new building at the heart of its Marylebone Road site. Bright ancillary spaces, refurbished studios and two exceptional additions designed by Ian Ritchie Architects, the Susie Sainsbury Theatre and the Angela Burgess Recital Hall, have already won major national and international awards for their breathtaking designs and outstanding acoustics, ideal for talented young singers, instrumentalists and composers.0Recent decades have seen the Royal Academy extend its interests to jazz, musical theatre and vital outreach, educational and celebrated collaborative projects to foster future generations of musicians and music lovers. This book reveals how virtuoso architecture and technology have brilliantly fused the Academy's famous Edwardian building with the modern institution's creative values and aspirations as it moves towards its third century.

"It took the coronavirus pandemic to open our eyes to the deplorable state of so many of the nation's long-term care homes: the inhumane conditions, overworked and underpaid staff, and lack of oversight. In this timely new book, esteemed health reporter André Picard reveals the full extent of the crisis in eldercare, and offers an urgently needed prescription to fix a broken system. When COVID-19 spread through seniors' residences across Canada, the impact was horrific. Along with widespread illness and a devastating death toll, the situation exposed a decades-old crisis: the shocking systemic neglect towards our elders. Called in to provide emergency care in some of the hardest-hit facilities in Ontario and Quebec, the military issued damning reports of what they encountered. And yet, the failings that were exposed--unappetizing meals, infrequent baths, overmedication, physical abuse and inadequate personal care--have persisted for years in these institutions. In Time to care, André Picard takes a hard look at how we came to embrace mass institutionalization, and lays out what can and must be done to improve the state of care for our elders, a highly vulnerable population with complex needs and little ability to advocate for themselves. Picard shows that the entire eldercare system--fragmented, underfunded and unsupported--is long overdue for a fundamental rethink. We need to find ways to ensure seniors can age gracefully in the community for longer, with supportive home care and respite for family caregivers, and ensure that long-term care homes are not warehouses of isolation and neglect. Our elders deserve nothing less"--

L'investissement à impact, pour une finance au service de la société. Et si on réconciliait la finance avec le bien commun ? Loin des clichés d'un certain capitalisme vorace, l'impact constitue aujourd'hui la nouvelle frontière de la finance responsable. Il s'agit d'investissements réalisés avec l'intention de générer des impacts sociaux et/ou environnementaux positifs en même temps qu'un rendement financier. Qui sont ces investisseurs et pourquoi se développent-ils tant en ce moment ? Quels sont leurs objectifs et leurs modes d'action ? Ont-ils vraiment de l'impact et, si oui, de quel type ? Comment mesurer cet impact ? Grâce à une approche rigoureuse, à la fois théorique et concrète, vous découvrirez : - qui sont les plus grands investisseurs à impact et leurs réalisations ; - en quoi l'investissement à impact se distingue de l'investissement ESG et de la philanthropie ; - comment se déploient ces stratégies, grâce à 40 cas réels ; - les enjeux auxquels le secteur est confronté (structuration d'un écosystème, impact washing). Cet ouvrage intéressera les professionnels de la finance, les étudiants en économie ou gestion ou les observateurs de l'actualité économique, et leur permettra de comprendre plus précisément les bouleversements récents du capitalisme.
