Like pissing in the wind, it might not be advisable, but sometimes you've just got to give it a try. TWAT! It's a pregnant fish is an adventure comedy where three guys experience trauma in their lives, coming together to face their fears under the supervision and guidance of the eccentric and outrageous Professor Jebsworth. As an alternative approach to counselling, the group travel the world: building bonds, breaking hearts and learning about their inner selves in the process. Best not to mention the sexual deviancies here... Follow the journey of a sex obsessed idiot, a drug addicted genius, a gentleman blinded from love by his innocence and an outrageously pompous Cambridge Don across Europe, Asia and North America. Not for the faint hearted, this novel combines twisted-romance, personal-adventure, self-exploration and cultural-appreciation filled with laughs along the way. Expect to be entertained, astounded and in places, highly offended as you join this unlikely bunch on their personal mission to self-actualise.

The purpose of the book is show from a theoretical and ethical perspective how the big audit firms have managed to set the bar of culpability so low that they offer only ¿opinions¿ on whether financial statements. Such opinions, are often combined with disclaimers of responsibility. The book explains the background aspects of institutional theory that are relevant to describe how professional bodies construct identical strategies. Such similarities relegate managerial agency, and tend to explain management actions as being both the products and producers of institutionalized cultural frameworks. With regard to the ethics involved in the audit function, it is argued that the concepts of virtue ethics have now largely disappeared. It is a form of Social Darwinism that is adopted by the audit firms. The shift in underlying social values contributes to what the Economist Journal describes as a steady decline in professional ethics.

"e;Deeply respecting, and bowing down before the character of Our Saviour, you cannot go very wrong, and will always preserve at heart a true spirit of veneration and humility."e; Charles Dickens Charles Dickens was a great storyteller; he possessed the unique ability of documenting the realities of life for both his contemporaries and future generations. A journalist, commentator, historian, and the social conscience of a nation, his influence and reach extended far beyond that normally associated with a novelist.

In this authoritative and highly readable new biography, Keith Hooper explores the nature and development of Dickens's faith, and the means by which it was expressed. This excellent study of Dickens's beliefs and struggles with the contemporary church gives new and valuable insight into his literary work.
