The Special Collections Book of the Week this week is:

Africa leads: a collection of case studies developed by the Global Compact in cooperation with the University of South Africa.

This book will reshape your image of Africa. It contains 87 boldly illustrated, inspiring real-life stories about responsible leaders, communities, business and educators succeeding in this continent. These are inspiring stories supported by facts; strong voices from South Africa to the Cape Verde Island, from Morocco to Mozambique. True stories of people and organizations who are an example not only to Africa, but to their peers on every continent. ‘Africa leads’ conveys a sense of optimism from education initiatives thriving against all odds; to businesses, creating and promoting economic and societal progress in a responsible and sustainable manner.
