Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Large corporations are losing out to smaller ones. The panaceas of the early 1990s, such as empowerment and re-engineering are in trouble, but no-one knows why or what to do about it. The authors argue that the root problem is management itself, and the answer is to manage "without" management. Large corporations are being strangled by their own management processes. Big business is not too large in terms of revenues, but is too complex and has too many products, divisions and functions - and too many managers. The good news for large corporations is that it is now possible to manage without management as a separate activity or set of jobs. Six powerful forces can be mobilized to dispose with management: customer power, information power, investor power, global market power, simplicity power and leader power. A new breed of superleaders will emerge that has more in common with Hollywood stars than today's top executives, and whose role is to become market developers and customer champions. The authors hail the emergence of a totally different type of 21st-century supercorporation that will be truly global and expand into all parts of the economy. This supercorporation - the 20 per cent corporation - will be quite unlike today's big companies, with no headquarters, standardized operations throughout the globe, and very simple structures. These corporations will be controlled by customers and information technology, and not by managers. The supercorporations will be immensely wealthy and influential, and will drive up living standards. They will make life very difficult for their competitors. Unless the transition to supercorporations is handled creatively, there could be very large increases in unemployment and social disruption in the next two decades. Managing the transition to a world without management will pose the biggest challenge of all. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. 'An incredible and stirring story . . . a mix of competition, camaraderie as well as a larky sense of adventure . . . Down goes the flag. Smash goes the bottle. Shards of emerald glass and champagne spume catch the light. The race from Peking to Paris has begun' Spectator 'And it's Go, Go, Go . . . A captivating history of a seemingly impossible journey and one of the most challenging endurance trials in the history of motoring . . . Skillful researcher and fine storyteller, St Clair's narrative is full of surprises . . . Fabulous . . . she hopes to follow Prince Borghese on his heroic journey and - if you share my absorbed interest in her adventurous narrative you may want to emulate her. See you there?' Miranda Seymour, Literary Review 10 June 1907, Peking. Five cars set off in a desperate race across two continents on the verge of revolution. An Italian prince and his chauffeur, a French racing driver, a conman and various journalists battle over steep mountain ranges and across the arid vastness of the Gobi Desert. The contestants need teams of helpers to drag their primitive cars up narrow gorges, lift them over rough terrain and float them across rivers. Petrol is almost impossible to find, there are barely any roads, armed bandits and wolves lurk in the forests. Updates on their progress, sent by telegram, are eagerly devoured by millions in one of the first ever global news stories. Their destination: Paris. More than its many adventures, the Peking-to-Paris provided the impetus for profound change. The world of 1907 is poised between the old and the new: communist regimes will replace imperial ones in China and Russia; the telegraph is transforming modern communication and the car will soon displace the horse. In this book bestselling author Kassia St Clair traces the fascinating stories of two interlocking races - setting the derring-do (and sometimes cheating) of one of the world's first car races against the backdrop of a larger geopolitical and technological rush to the future, as the rivalry grows between countries and empires, building up to the cataclysmic event that changed everything - the First World War. The Race to the Future is the incredible true story of the quest against the odds that shaped the world we live in today. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. From the outside, Josh's life looks perfect: he has a loving wife, a beautiful son, money in the bank and a career he is passionate about. But on the inside, he is screaming. Josh has come to the end of the line. For him, suicide seems like the only way out. Raped repeatedly from the age of three by his father and later by his trusted teacher, Josh's childhood was hell. As he grew up, he fought off memories and the shame of his past with a hard-core drug addiction, alcoholism, and an obsession with self-mutilation and self-destruction. With shocking honesty, Silent Scream describes how he struggled to come to terms with the abuse he suffered as a child and the appalling legacy of that abuse. The extraordinary support of his closest friends, extensive treatment in various psychiatric hospitals and the love of his wife and son have pulled Josh through. Against all the odds, he is now able to look forward to a future for the first time. This is a raw and disturbing account of one man's battle to overcome his demons; it is also a powerful testimony to the magic and endurance of love.

Paperback. Condizione: Fine. The acclaimed travel writer's youthful journey - as an 18-year-old - across 1930s Europe by foot began in A Time of Gifts, which covered the author's exacting journey from the Lowlands as far as Hungary. Picking up from the very spot on a bridge across the Danube where his readers last saw him, we travel on with him across the great Hungarian Plain on horseback, and over the Romanian border to Transylvania. The trip was an exploration of a continent which was already showing signs of the holocaust which was to come. Although frequently praised for his lyrical writing, Fermor's account also provides a coherent understanding of the dramatic events then unfolding in Middle Europe. But the delight remains in travelling with him in his picaresque journey past remote castles, mountain villages, monasteries and towering ranges. The concluding part of the trilogy was published in September 2013 as The Broken Road.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This title explores the fundamental secrets of success of some of the world's most admired companies. The author's purpose is simple - to discover, in depth and at firsthand, the reason that these organizations (including a school in the Bronx, New York City) do so well. Robert Waterman reveals that firms at the new frontiers of excellence organize around their own people and in ways that meet and anticipate customer needs. They empower their staff, give them something to believe in, challenge them, provide them with recognition, and are committed to continuous learning and innovation, to change and to total customer relationships. Waterman's case studies give readers an insider's view of why these firms are so good. Other insights include: companies that set profits as their number-one goal are actually less profitable in the longrun than people-centred organizations; American competitiveness far outstrips Japan, Germany, France and Britain; organization is strategy. Robert Waterman is co-author of "In Search of Excellence", and author of "The Renewal Factor and Adhocracy: The Power to Change". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book charts the epic struggle between Great Britain and revolutionary and Napoleonic France, revealing both the hidden forces beneath the surface of events and the strategies and battle tactics which ensured Britain the final victory. In Maritime Supremacy and the Opening of the Western Mind, Peter Padfield covered the rise of the Dutch to supreme naval and commercial power in the 17th century and their displacement by the British, followed by the 18th-century struggle between Great Britain and Bourbon France. He now explores the contrasts between British power based on trade and sea control and French power based on territorial conquest, and shows how their respective societies were imprinted with irreconcilably different ways of thought and systems of government and finance. He presents the French Revolution and Napoleon in a radical light as essentially regressive, Britain, for better or worse, as the progressive herald of modern liberties. The reader is placed on the gun deck, amid the cannon, smoke, blood and death, or alongside the great leaders, Pitt, Nelson, Wellington or Napoleon Bonaparte.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Introduction by Professor Stephen Hawking. When Edwin Hubble looked into his telescope in the 1920s, he was shocked to find that nearly all of the galaxies he could see through it were flying away from one another. If these galaxies had always been travelling, he reasoned, then they must, at some point, have been on top of one another. This discovery transformed the debate about one of the most fundamental questions of human existence - how did the universe begin? Every society has stories about the origin of the cosmos and its inhabitants, but now, with the power to peer into the early universe and deploy the knowledge gleaned from archaeology, geology, evolutionary biology and cosmology, we are closer than ever to understanding where it all came from. In The Origin of (almost) Everything, New Scientist explores the modern origin stories of everything from the Big Bang, meteorites and dark energy, to dinosaurs, civilisation, timekeeping, belly-button fluff and beyond. From how complex life evolved on Earth, to the first written language, to how humans conquered space, The Origin of (almost) Everything offers a unique history of the past, present and future of our universe.
