Twelve-Minute Risk Management
In Twelve-Minute Risk Management, readers get a comprehensive guide to running and managing a business. Author Ivy Walker writes from experience touching on critical elements in the entrepreneurship industry. This book is eye-opening and illuminating for readers that are looking to start their own businesses. Walker gives factual information and shares her honest reviews on various business aspects. The entrepreneurship pointers shared by the author are invaluable to readers.
Let’s talk about the language used by Walker. Twelve-Minute Risk Management is an easy-to-read book about entrepreneurship for readers at all stages of business development. There are a few technical terms, all of which are defined to help readers understand. When introducing the reader to a new topic or business concept, the author starts by giving a short tale that will help the reader see the practical applications of the concept.
The author is insightful and objective working to connect with her readers. The real-life stories she shares are especially great as they contain life lessons. I like that the author focused on small businesses and gave a practical guide to those running small and medium enterprises. I enjoyed her analogies and the pointers she gave to small businesses.
Other topics that I found to be enlightening evolved around risk management, expanding businesses, making profits, operating a workplace, and my favorite; cyber-attacks. The information Walker has on cyber-attacks should not be overlooked. This topic is crucial, especially since everything revolves around technology today.
Walker uses a friendly tone and writes about the good, bad, easy, and challenging parts of entrepreneurship without sugar-coating matters. Everything from the font, arrangement of paragraphs, and choice of topics is stimulating and appealing for any reader.
With Twelve-Minute Risk Management, readers can feel safe starting a business and confident that whatever enterprise they set up will bring in profits. Ivy Walker checks every box for an all-around entrepreneur. I recommend this book to readers that want to learn how to be self-employed, run a business and create business opportunities.

The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild
![The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild by [Enric Sala]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WlqsR5oYL.jpg)
In The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild, Enric Sala talks everything nature and discusses conservancy, the importance of protecting the planet, and living responsibly. Having been a marine biologist for decades, Enric Sala pulls from years of experience to provide a sharp and informed perspective on the environment and how man has managed to drastically change nature. As he discusses the wild, animals, plants, and every living thing, one can tell how passionate Enric Sala is about the subject. The agony in his words when addressing the destruction of nature, the joy in his tone when he discusses conservancy and how to preserve the planet’s endangered species makes one fall in love not only with the book but also the work the author has been doing over the years.
Through the lessons and Enric Sala’s stories about his work and personal life the reader is exposed to a world that is so vital to us, yet nebulous. I enjoyed the experiences Enric Sala shared about his line of work. The stories the author gives are eye-opening and will leave you feeling informed about the role humans play in destroying flora and fauna. Not many people get to witness directly how human activity affects animals both on land and in the sea. Enric Sala shares this reality through simple and engaging language that kept me rapt.

Through this book, the author encourages everyone to be an environmental activist in little ways. Modernization and civilization have led to an increase in air pollution. To control this, the author encourages people to adopt new lifestyles and engage in activities like tree planting and cleaning the environment to ensure that the air we breathe and the water fish swim in is not harmful.
The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild comes at a critical time for the planet and should be essential reading. Enric Sala has written a thought-provoking book that distills complex ecological concepts into easily understandable ideas that could save the planet, improve your health, and strengthen the economy.

R K Mohapatra Author Interview
Mutual Funds takes an in-depth look at mutual funds, its composition, and it’s strengths as an investment. What inspired you to write this book?
I got inspired to write my third book buoyed by the success of my first two books and few questions raised by my friends and fans about investment in mutual funds such as how to invest, where to invest & when to invest.
I have emphatically conveyed through the book that every individual has the potential to make concrete decisions and the relevance of focusing on specific goals to achieve them in time by investing in mutual funds.

What is a common misconception you feel people have about mutual funds?
Misconceptions about mutual funds may be two types:
- People do not know the structure, types & composition of mutual funds and its regulatory system.
- Lack of knowledge about the capital market and mutual fund products adversely affect their mind that invested money will erase in this market, and they never get good returns on their investment due to the high subdued market. The concept is purely a wrong perception & misconception.
You have 27 years of experience in personal finance. How has your experience helped you write this book?
I have 27 years of experience in the field of Finance and Accounts in a leading Public Sector Company in India & abroad. So far as personal finance is concerned, my interest in this field and my educational qualifications help me to write all three books. On the other hand, my friends and fans persuade me to write this complex subject in a very simple way so as to they would take the benefit for the same.
What do you hope readers take away from your book?
This book dedicates to young India, including my son & daughter. Equity is an asset class, which generate handsome returns over the long-run. The book contains so many hidden secrets, strategy in the investment, and magic formula of compounding, which induce the prospective investors & readers to purchase this book either kindle edition or paperback. The cost of the book is meaningless for readers as this book will change their life, fulfill their dreams, and brings their goals into reality and make them financially sound over the long-run due to value-based investment.
