The 100 Best TV Series Episodes of All Time, According to Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone magazine has published a ranking of the 100 best television series episodes of all time. The selection includes productions from the 1950s to the present day, featuring both major classics from the world of TV series as well as lesser-known productions that managed to deliver individual episodes of exceptionally high quality.

"Few pop-culture experiences are more satisfying than when your favorite show knocks it out of the park with a single chapter, whether it’s an episode that wildly deviates from the series’ norm, or just an incredibly well-executed version of the familiar formula." states the magazine in the introduction to the list.

The New York Times offers the world's most famous Best Sellers list

The New York Times publishes weekly on its website and in its book supplement, The New York Times Book Review, the bestseller list featuring the most sold books in the United States across various genres and formats.

This list, which began publication in 1931, has become an essential reference for the powerful U.S. publishing industry and for thousands of reading enthusiasts worldwide. In fact, any book that manages to appear on this ranking hastens to proudly display it on its cover as a clear sign of publishing triumph.

The list is compiled based on sales information provided by all types of suppliers spread across the country: independent bookstores, national, regional, and local chains, online retailers, supermarkets, newsstands...

The list, which is published first on the website and a few days later in the aforementioned print supplement, is organized by genres (fiction, non-fiction, and children's books) and by formats (print, electronic, hardcover, and paperback). Additionally, monthly lists are also offered for various categories, such as fiction and non-fiction for audiobooks, business, or graphic books, among others.

Sustainability Guide for companies by Bain Consulting

Bain consulting has published its "2024 Visionary CEO's Guide to Sustainability," which includes numerous data points on consumer perceptions of sustainability-related issues and offers practical guidelines for creating sustainable businesses "with pragmatism."

Here are two of the many data points presented:

• 60% of consumers say their climate change concerns have increased over the past two years

• 76% of consumers believe that a sustainable lifestyle is important because their actions have an impact

According to Jean-Charles van den Branden, the leader of Bain's Global Sustainability practice, in the report's introduction, "Building a sustainable business remains a strategic imperative. Customers, consumers, and regulators are demanding it. Risk and competition will compel it. Transitions in energy, food, and other sectors are well underway. Sooner than expected, a mix of new technologies, consumer and customer behavior, and smart policy will create valuable opportunities for the most forward-thinking companies across industries."

The full report (PDF) can be downloaded for free.
