  • Code of Conduct: Why We Need to Fix Parliament – and How to Do It

    07
    THE INSTANT TOP TWO SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

    Cronyism, nepotism, conflicts of interest, misconduct, lying. Is this the worst parliament in history?
    Leading MP Chris Bryant tells the inside story of misconduct in parliament, and outlines how we can help solve it.

    ‘Takes a bulldozer to the crumbling edifice of parliamentary standards’ JAMES O’BRIEN
    ‘Absolutely riveting. I read, I blink, I gasp’ REVEREND RICHARD COLES
    ‘Vital. It should serve as a wake-up call to all of us’ ALASTAIR CAMPBELL
    ‘A lively, forensic, engrossing, sometimes entertaining, often disturbing and always unflinching interrogation of what’s gone wrong with our legislature’ ANDREW RAWNSLEY, OBSERVER

    The extraordinary turmoil we have seen in British politics in the last few years has set records. We have had the fastest turnover of ministers in our history and more MPs suspended from the House than ever. Rules have been flouted repeatedly, sometimes in plain sight. The government seems unable to escape the brush of sleaze. And just when we think it’s all going to calm down a bit, another scandal breaks.

    Having spent years as Chair of the Committees on Standards and Privileges, Chris Bryant has had a front-row seat for the battle over standards in parliament. Cronyism, nepotism, conflicts of interest, misconduct and lying: politicians are engaging in these activities more frequently and more publicly than ever before. The result? The work of honest and accountable MPs is tarnished. Public trust is worn thin. And when nearly two thirds of voters think that MPs are out for themselves, democracy is in trouble.

    It is time for a better brand of politics. Taking us inside the Pugin-carpeted corridors of Westminster, from the prime minister’s office to the Strangers’ Bar, Code of Conduct examines how parliament has got into this mess and suggests how it might – at last – get its house in order.

  • The Courage To Be Disliked: How to free yourself, change your life and achieve real happiness (Courage To series)

    07

    The Japanese phenomenon that teaches us the simple yet profound lessons required to liberate our real selves and find lasting happiness.

    The Courage to be Disliked shows you how to unlock the power within yourself to become your best and truest self, change your future and find lasting happiness. Using the theories of Alfred Adler, one of the three giants of 19th century psychology alongside Freud and Jung, the authors explain how we are all free to determine our own future free of the shackles of past experiences, doubts and the expectations of others. It’s a philosophy that’s profoundly liberating, allowing us to develop the courage to change, and to ignore the limitations that we and those around us can place on ourselves.

    The result is a book that is both highly accessible and profound in its importance. Millions have already read and benefited from its wisdom. Now that The Courage to be Disliked has been published for the first time in English, so can you.

  • Most Dangerous Superstition

    07
    Actual physical, hold in your hand, read on a beach, sell second-hand or give to a friend, book. When someone looks out at the world and sees all manner of suffering and injustice, stretching back for thousands of years and continuing today, he invariably blames such problems on someone else’s hatred, greed, or stupidity. Rarely will someone consider the possibility that his own belief system is the cause of the pain and suffering he sees around him. But in most cases, it is. The root cause of most of society’s ills–the main source of man’s inhumanity to man–is neither malice nor negligence, but a mere superstition–an unquestioned assumption which has been accepted on faith by nearly everyone, of all ages, races, religions, education and income levels. If people were to recognize that one belief for what it is–an utterly irrational, self-contradictory, and horribly destructive myth–most of the violence, oppression and injustice in the world would cease. But that will happen only when people dare to honestly and objectively re-examine their belief systems. “The Most Dangerous Superstition” exposes the myth for what it is, showing how nearly everyone, as a result of one particular unquestioned assumption, is directly contributing to violence and oppression without even realizing it. If you imagine yourself to be a compassionate, peace-loving, civilized human being, you must read this book.

    Coffee, Cops, and Tattoos: Rocky Lake Littles Book 3

    Adam Carter is too big, too busy, and too tired to ever find the Daddy that he dreams about. He’s had his heart broken one too many times to ever want to try again. With his two best friends, his job, and his schoolwork, Adam is fine with how he’s living his life. He’d be completely happy if he could stop fantasizing about the two men who’ve been there for him during his darkest times.

    Nash Johnson had been looking for love in all the wrong places. He puts his heart on the line repeatedly, only to be told he isn’t worth keeping. Realizing he needs a poly relationship should have been the hard part. It isn’t. Nash has just given up on ever finding what he needs until he see Adam at the Rocky Lake Coffeehouse and then is introduced to the hot tattooed giant across the street. Maybe Nash has found what he’s been looking for after all.

    Lucas Van Blair had barely been in town when he’d spotted trouble at the Rocky Lake Coffee house across the street from his newly opened tattoo parlor. He was in the right place at the right time to save the three boys from the attack, but that night changes everything for Lucas. He’s never considered having two partners at the same time but now he can’t imagine not having Adam and Nash in his arms, heart, and bed.

    When Joan Lock began her formal training as a young nurse in the 1950s, she was unprepared for the strict discipline and long hours which were to follow and quickly realised she was no Florence Nightingale. Her honest and humorous account of the next three years reveals her most intimate experiences of being a nurse: from dealing with temperamental surgeons to fighting off flirtatious patients.

    Labelled a trouble-maker, Joan and her friends tested their strict Sisters’ patience as they climbed through windows, slept through lectures and broke every thermometer that passed through their hands. But through it all, Joan found herself touched by the people she met and their heart-warming stories.

      08

      Shortlisted in the ‘Practical Manager’ category for the 2018 Management Book of the Year prize by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and the British Library.

      • Translated into three languages.
      • Continual Best Seller (Amazon) & ‘Business Book of the Month’ on publication (WH Smith).

      No knowledge required

      The book is purposefully designed to be quick and easy to use with no previous knowledge required to comprehend the concepts. We “tell you what you need to know” to quickly “get up to speed” in core finance concepts.

      A key feature of this book is that you do not have read it from cover to cover to make sense of finance. Each chapter is written as a “standalone” topic. This enables you to dip in and dip out of chapters. Further, we have taken otherwise complex topics and broken them down into key concepts that are explained in concise, easy to read sections.

      Practitioners not academics

      Whilst not an academic book, it is also not a “simplistic” book. It is a practical book because it has been written by practitioners. We include throughout this book our first-hand personal experiences gained from working in businesses across many industries and sectors, rather than replicating knowledge from academia.

      In addition, the authors have spent countless hours instructing, teaching and training thousands of professionals from disciplines including marketing, sales, production, administration, HR and legal.

      Focused on business application

      The overwhelming majority of finance books available are better suited to trainee accountants because they take an academic approach to finance. Whilst necessary for accountants, they immerse the reader in the “detail”.

      The Finance Book is written for non-finance people like you. It is aimed at those who work or aspire to work in business.

      It will help professionals in business or thinking about a career in business including board directors, business managers, MBA students, graduates and undergraduates.

      Your book, your journey

      To make the book easy to read, we have used a consistent format across chapters. Within each chapter there are multiple cross references (and links) to other relevant chapters as they occur. This will enable you to review chapters and make connections relevant to you. Allow your curiosity to determine your path through the book.

      THE KNOWLEDGE AND TOOLS EVERY PROFESSIONAL NEEDS, TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS FOR THEIR BUSINESS

    • Poetry For Dummies

      08
      Demystify and appreciate the pleasures of poetry

      Sometimes it seems like there are as many definitions of poetry as there are poems. Coleridge defined poetry as “the best words in the best order.” St. Augustine called it “the Devil’s wine.” For Shelley, poetry was “the record of the best and happiest moments of the happiest and best minds.” But no matter how you define it, poetry has exercised a hold upon the hearts and minds of people for more than five millennia. That’s because for the attentive reader, poetry has the power to send chills shooting down the spine and lightning bolts flashing in the brain ― to throw open the doors of perception and hone our sensibilities to a scalpel’s edge.

      • Understand poetic language and forms
      • Interpret poems
      • Get a handle on poetry through the ages
      • Find poetry readings near you
      • Write your own poems
      • Shop your work around to publishers

      Don’t know the difference between an iamb and a trochee? Worry not, this friendly guide demystifies the jargon, and it covers a lot more ground besides, including:

      • Understanding subject, tone, narrative; and poetic language
      • Mastering the three steps to interpretation
      • Facing the challenges of older poetry
      • Exploring 5,000 years of verse, from Mesopotamia to the global village
      • Writing open-form poetry
      • Working with traditional forms of verse
      • Writing exercises for aspiring poets
      • Getting published

      From Sappho to Clark Coolidge, and just about everyone in between, Poetry For Dummies puts you in touch with the greats of modern and ancient poetry. Need guidance on composing a ghazal, a tanka, a sestina, or a psalm? This is the book for you.
