A Cup Of Coffee $12.84 John Wilkinson, a successful American entrepreneur, doesn’t know why his first attempt to branch out to the Middle East failed so miserably. Heading home in defeat, John meets Sultan, a chance encounter that changes everything. After hearing John’s story, Sultan recognizes John’s failure didn’t result from a bad business model. Rather, John made the fatal mistake of not understanding and accepting how business is conducted in the Middle East. Sultan invites John back to Oman to try again, this time with guidance, instruction, and proper introductions. With Sultan as his mentor, John quickly learns his hardcharging Western style must surrender to very different values rooted in ancient tribal customs and traditions.

Bax $141.93 Lewis Foreman’s classic biography of the composer Arnold Bax (1883-1953) was first published in 1983. Documenting the life and times of a remarkable figure whose life touched a wide circle in England and Ireland, it was notable for having many of Bax’s friends and contemporaries as sources, most of whom have since died. It also informed the remarkable revival of Bax’s music and reputation which has taken place over the last twenty years. Now completely revised in the light of much new material including the huge archive of the pianist Harriet Cohen, Bax’s mistress, which has only just become available for research, it is a notable portrait of a unique musical milieu. Bax’s extensive musical output is now comprehensively recorded and widely known and here all the music is discussed from first hand acquaintance with all the revivals and recordings. This is the essential handbook to Bax and his period. LEWIS FOREMAN is a freelance author and advisor to record companies. |

Flawless Consulting: A Guide to Getting Your Expertise Used $55 When the first edition of this book was written 20 years ago, “the idea that teams and personal relationships are critical to technical and business success was an innovative thought.” But today, that once-marginal philosophy has become mainstream. Unfortunately, few companies are successfully following it. “Even now, with all the rhetoric given to relationships … our institutions still operate as if strategy, structure and technology are what really matter.” This revised edition provides an in-depth, easy-to-use guide to help consultants rev up their effectiveness in today’s hyper-competitive business environment. Highlights: Outlines how the need for speed and on-the-spot decision-making are altering the role of the consultant. Explores the concept of “whole-systems discovery,” a method of involving larger numbers of people in rethinking their workplaces. Offers consultants strategies to increase the odds of their recommendations being implemented by concentrating on “engagement” rather than “installation.” Advantages: The book’s guidelines are applicable to both outside contractors and in-house staffers acting in a consulting role. Readers are given checklists outlining specific actions they can take to implement the strategies outlined by the book. Related Titles: If you are working with a consultant and need to know what questions to ask, see Flawed Advice and the Management Trap: How Managers Can Know When They’re Getting Good Advice and When They’re Not. If you’re looking to strikeout on your own as a consultant, try How to Start a Freelance Consulting Business.

The Gentile Apostle $9.39 I am a practicing Catholic, and felt a strong desire to see if I could spark more interest in Jesus and His life and teachings. When my husband and I spent 45 minutes a day walking for exercise, I would be praying the rosary and meditating on the various mysteries as I walked. During these meditations, I began to visualize how it would feel to be actually present at some of the events mentioned in the Bible and the mysteries of the rosary.With this inspiration, I began to write my book last year. I have a very strong desire to make Jesus more real, especially to young people. I hope and pray that this little book will help them to do just that.
