We are a collection of athletes dedicated to using our platform, education & experience to help level the field in the health & well-being of our communities; because it is your RIGHT to be in control of your quality of life, and it is our PRIVILEGE to give you those tools. In 2015, 193 Member States of the UN attended the ''United Nations Sustainable Development Summit'', from which came 1 declaration, 17 goals and 169 targets. The summit revealed that even in some of the most developed of lands, socioeconomic status affects a considerable amount of our populations, specifically youth; resulting in either un-utilized, or very limited access, to the information paramount in building stability, consciousness and resilience for our future generations. Kedo Union Company & Kate Duke bring you the first in a series of interactive, educational and FUN books aimed to fill in the gaps of education within our youth populations, taking the privilege out of health for our kids. 122 Pages of information, games, recipes, world views, did-you-knows & fact sheets! ... & full colouring pages!

The purpose of any marketing strategy is to influence an environment, and the decisions of those within it, to a profitable end. With this in mind, this exciting new text considers marketing as a social activity--one that is as cultural, social and ethical as it is economic. Through this approach, students can learn to be critical of self-rationalising strategies that cause harm, and to consider whether authentically ethical marketing is possible--or whether, as cynics might suggest, ethical marketing is an oxymoron. This discursive book engages students with the social and ethical dimensions of professional marketing practice. Learners are actively encouraged to reflect on and to consider the role of marketing in society, the professionalization of marketing practice and the impact of the societal context on marketing. Real life examples are used throughout to illustrate key points. What makes this book unique is its fusion of the marketing and the social worlds, the material and the ethical, to enable practitioners and academics to take a broader social view and reflect on the direction of the field. This is an ideal introductory textbook in marketing ethics for students of business and management, as well as thoughtful, reflective practitioners.

A classroom guinea pig finds a way to plant his own garden in this funny tale of pumpkins and patience. After watching the first graders grow plants from seeds, Hercules, the class guinea pig, is inspired. He wants to grow things, too! With the help of a rabbit named Daisy, Hercules plants his seeds and waits. And waits and waits. . . . He learns that growing things takes more than seeds and soil, sun and rain. It takes patience. But sometimes having to wait makes the reward even sweeter. “Duke’s story brims with humor of both the classroom and animal-buddy varieties, and her featherlight paintings capture every ounce of Herky’s enthusiasm, impatience, and eventual satisfaction.” —PW, starred review
