Sustainability Marketing : A Global Perspective
The new and extended Second Edition of the award-winning textbook Sustainability Marketing: A Global Perspective provides a sustainability-oriented vision of marketing for the twenty-first century.Adopting a a consumer marketing focus, it emphasises integrating sustainability principles into both marketing theory and the practical decision making of marketing managers. The book shows how the complexities of sustainability issues can be addressed by marketers through a systematic step-by-step approach.The steps involve an analysis of socio-environmental priorities to complement conventional consumer research; an integration of social, ethical and environmental values into marketing strategy development; a new consumer-oriented sustainability marketing mix to replace the outmoded and producer-oriented '4Ps'; and finally an analysis of how marketing can go beyond responding to social change to contribute to a transformation to a more sustainable society.Without taking such steps, marketing will continue to drive global crises linked to climate change, poverty, food shortages, oil depletion and species extinction, instead of helping to tackle them.

Corporations and Sustainability : The South Asian Perspective
Corporations and Sustainability: The South Asian Perspective is a collection of contributions from leading academics and practitioners which provides an overview of the key challenges and opportunities related to sustainability in South Asia. The last two decades have seen rapid and often dramatic changes in the institutional, economic and ecological contexts in which firms operating in South Asian economies find themselves.South Asia is increasingly seen both as a driver of global economic growth as well as a barrier to sustainable development. The most significant driver of change in the region has been the economic liberalization attempts of national governments, resulting in easier and faster flows of information, labour and capital between these economies and the rest of the world.Consequently, global environmental and social concerns are increasingly driving governmental and corporate decision-making processes for firms operating in South Asia.In responding to these emerging challenges, firms have begun to re-evaluate and redesign their strategies, structures and processes as well as incorporate sustainability principles into their strategies.Corporations and Sustainability: The South Asian Perspective thus delivers an important perspective for researchers as well as students of master's-level courses on business and environment.It is particularly useful for those trying to understand the key sustainability challenges in the South Asian context as well some of the solutions emerging in the critical areas of heavy industry and also service sectors.

What is perspective in art?
Perspective in art refers to the technique used to create an illusion of depth and three-dimensionality on a two-dimensional surface. It involves the use of vanishing points, horizon lines, and scale to create the appearance of objects receding into the distance. Different types of perspective, such as linear perspective and atmospheric perspective, are used to achieve this effect. Perspective is an important tool for artists to create realistic and dynamic compositions in their artwork.
-
What are examples of parallel perspective in art?
Examples of parallel perspective in art include the work of Renaissance artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael, who used this technique to create realistic and three-dimensional representations of space. Another example is the use of parallel lines in architectural drawings to show depth and distance. Additionally, modern artists like M.C. Escher have used parallel perspective to create mind-bending optical illusions in their works.

How can I apply central perspective in art?
Central perspective in art can be applied by creating a vanishing point on the horizon line and drawing converging lines that lead to this point. This technique helps create the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality in a two-dimensional artwork. By placing objects or elements in the composition along these converging lines, you can achieve a sense of space and distance in your artwork. Experimenting with different angles and distances of the vanishing point can also create different effects and perspectives in your artwork.

What is a non-perspective painting concept in art?
A non-perspective painting concept in art refers to a style of artwork that does not adhere to traditional rules of perspective. This means that objects in the painting may not be depicted in a realistic way in terms of size, scale, or depth. Artists may use distortion, abstraction, or other techniques to create a unique and subjective interpretation of the subject matter. Non-perspective painting allows artists to experiment with different ways of representing the world and can result in visually striking and thought-provoking pieces.

Risk-Sharing Finance : An Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) Perspective
The contemporary finance deals mainly with multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh) has yet to develop its conceptualization of this modality of financing.Thus far, it has become a norm for large financing projects to rely on a complex structure of interconnected bilateral contracts that in totality becomes opaque, complex and costly.An unfortunate result of the unavailability of an efficient Fiqhi model applicable to modern multilateral and multi-counterparty contracts has been the fact that the present Islamic finance has been forced to replicate conventional risk-transfer (interest rate based) debt contracts thus drawing severe criticisms of duplicating conventional finance. In 2012, a gathering of some of the Muslim world’s most prominent experts in Jurisprudence (Fuqaha) and economists issued the Kuala Lumpur Declaration (Fatwa) in which they identified risk sharing as the essence of Islamic finance.The Declaration opened the door for a new Fiqh approach to take the lead in developing the jurisprudence of multilateral and multi-counterparty transactions.This Declaration (Fatwa) provides a prime motivation to search for a comprehensive model of risk sharing that can serve as an archetypal contract encompassing all potential contemporary financial transactions.From the perspective of Islamic Jurisprudence (Fiqh), the technicalities of the concept of risk sharing in contemporary finance have yet to be defined in Islamic literature. This book attempts to clarify and shed light on these technicalities from the perspective of Fiqh.It is a comprehensive study that relies on the fundamental Islamic sources to establish a theoretical and practical perspective of Fiqh encompassing risk-sharing Islamic finance as envisioned in the Kuala Lumpur Declaration of 2012.This new paradigm should lead to a more efficient approach to multilateral and multi-counterparty Islamic contracts which, here-to-fore has been lacking in the current configuration of Islamic finance.

What does the term vanishing point perspective mean in art?
Vanishing point perspective in art refers to a technique used to create the illusion of depth and distance in a two-dimensional artwork. It involves drawing parallel lines that converge at a single point on the horizon line, known as the vanishing point. This technique helps artists create realistic and three-dimensional compositions by making objects appear to recede into the distance. The vanishing point perspective is commonly used in traditional Western art to give a sense of space and depth to a painting or drawing.
