    A Land Rover is the star of this book. Assembled from the parts of various scrap Land Rovers found on dumps in the Sultanate of Oman, it emerged as a unique and functional four by four camper. Back in 1980 the author and his girlfriend loaded up the Rover and set off from the Sultanate of Oman with the aim of driving back to England but with no real idea of the route that they would take. Gathering information from other travellers along the way they ended up driving south, down through Sudan then across central Africa and back up across the Sahara desert to Europe.It is now interesting to see how the world has shrunk with the advent of the digital age but sad to see the often devastating effects of subsequent political and religious upheaval. It is hard to believe that not so long ago in 1980 there were no mobile 'phones or the Internet and that Africa was much more accessible.This book chronicles the five month journey of two ordinary people in their extra-ordinary vehicle.

    "In 1932, Peter Fleming, a literary editor, traded his pen for a pistol to engage in the celebrated search for English adventurer Colonel P.H. Fawcett, who had gone missing in the jungles of central Brazil. With meager supplies, faulty maps, and a pack of rival newspapermen on their trail, Fleming and his companions marched, canoed, and fought through 3,000 miles of wilderness and alligator-ridden rivers in search of the fate of the lost colonel. One of the great adventure stories, Brazilian Adventure is as fresh a story today as it was when originally published in 1933."--BOOK JACKET.

    This collection of memoirs, essays and wayward observations, often folding multiple literary forms together in its struggle to reveal a common truth between past, present and future, is uniquely pleasing in its eclectic and often frantic combinations of form and purpose. At the same time it struggles to document the narrator's own struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, always there, shimmering and fierce as though etched in blood onto the glass of a smashed mirror, each shard reflecting a different take on our common struggle with the demons of times gone by. In turn uproariously funny and heartbreakingly tragic, overflowing with the sudden twists and turns of a startlingly original mind, "Insignificant Others" is a modern day Canterbury Tales, foreseeing the death of history, and traducing the accomplishments of extraordinary people into the homogenized digital kaleidoscope of the dynamic now, in which the ghosts of ancient times play joyously with the spirits of the as yet unborn.

    Effective negotiation skills just got easierThere was a time, not that long ago, when negotiation was seen, in the main, as the province of industrial relations folk and car-sales advisers. But, no longer! Repeated financial crises have squeezed profit margins and, in some markets, discouraged buyers from making marginal purchases or continuing habitual expenditure. Managers have found themselves in the frontline of the expectation to achieve better value for money, and the starting point for this is to shop around and explore the offers made by new suppliers, and/or to negotiate better deals with existing suppliers.Even if your job doesn't involve negotiation, then you might still be an active negotiator when replacing your car, moving house or even selling last season's wardrobe! The truth is that being a good negotiator has become a life skill, enabling those who are good at it not just to save money, but also to upgrade their computer, television or lawnmower with little or no increase in outgoings - and enhancing their reputation in the process.Becoming an effective negotiator is certainly within the scope of the majority of people. At its simplest, it involves thinking out what you want, planning how you'd like to get it and developing your powers of persuasion to convince other people that you are simply being reasonable.This book will help you to plan to become a better negotiator through being better prepared for meetings, planning clear and realistic objectives for a negotiation, maintaining concentration and making logical proposals that create agreement in the other party.- Sunday: Creating the right environment- Monday: Researching your objectives - Tuesday: People and places - Wednesday: Breaking the ice - Thursday: The agenda - Friday: Concluding- Saturday: Learning from your experiences

  • - How Capitalism Persists Despite Itself
    af Peter Fleming
    303,95 - 892,95 kr.

    There was once a time when 'work' was inextricably linked to survival and self-preservation; where the farmer ploughed the land so their family could eat. But the sun has long since set on this idyllic tableau, and what was once an integral part of life has slowly morphed into a painful and meaningless ritual, colonising almost every part of our lives - endless and inescapable.*BR**BR*In The Mythology of Work, Peter Fleming examines how neoliberal society uses the ritual of work (and the threat of its denial) to maintain the late capitalist class order. As our society is transformed into a factory that never sleeps, work becomes a universal reference point for everything else, devoid of any moral or political worth.*BR**BR*Blending critical theory with recent accounts of job related suicides, office-induced paranoia, fear of relaxation, managerial sadism and cynical corporate social responsibility campaigns, Fleming paints a bleak picture of neoliberal capitalism in which the economic and emotional dysfunctions of a society of wage slaves greatly outweigh its professed benefits.
