The SeaOx
In the exhilarating mystery novel The SeaOx: Book 1, Andre Laurent, sailing from Nice to LeHavre singlehanded on his SeaOx, a 44-foot Hans Christian Pilot House yacht, stops for provisions at Brest. He plans to leave the SeaOx at LeHavre and travel to Paris to rendezvous with his new love, Elspeth Vander Riis, a wealthy widow from Utrecht. Andre's idyllic lifestyle comes to an abrupt halt when his yacht is hijacked as he is about to leave Brest. He wakes up bound and strung up naked in the salon. The SeaOx is underway, but who is at the helm? A well-built young man appears and tells Andre he has given him a sedative. He wants the SeaOx and also plans to extort Andre's Paris brokerage account. The hijacker found revealing photos of Andre and Elspeth and wants to make both of them pay. Andre is tied up and given an injection. When the SeaOx docks at LeHavre, the hijacker logs in with Andre's papers and helps him to a lawyer's office where a transfer of ownership is drawn up. His lover Elspeth is also shaken down for money. Who are these thieves and what is their ultimate goal? The suspense continues in the next book in the series.
Basque Money
Basque Money continues from the cliffhanger in The SeaOx. The SeaOx ended with Andre Laurent witnessing Pelling and Ruth attempting to escape. Laurent went aboard Pelling’s boat, the Bijou, docked at a marina in Lisbon and shot Pelling in the right wrist and the left knee. He then drugged Pelling and Ruth, tied them both, leaving them unconscious for the Lisbon police. When the authorities finally go aboard the Bijou, no one was there. Now the Sûreté, led by Lieutenant Bizet, are hot on Pelling’s trail—a transcontinental chase that takes them to Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and back to Europe. ETA rogue assassin Teddy Pelling, wanted by Sûreté for murder and kidnapping, is heading to Caymans with his millions. Always one step ahead of the authorities, Pelling and his two sexy companions, Ruth and Ida, embark on a dangerous game of cat and mouse to continually elude the police. Now it’s a race against time to ensure that neither the Sûreté nor the ETA is able to find Pelling. His only objective is to save his millions and to get rid of any obstacles that stand in his way.
Management across Cultures
Management practices and processes frequently differ across national and regional boundaries. What may be acceptable managerial behaviour in one culture may be counterproductive or even unacceptable in another. As managers increasingly find themselves working across cultures, the need to understand these differences has become increasingly important. This book examines why these differences exist and how global managers can develop strategies and tactics to deal with them. The text draws on recent research in anthropology, psychology, and management, to explain the cultural and psychological underpinnings that shape managerial attitudes and behaviours, whilst introducing a learning model to guide in the intellectual and practical development of managers seeking enhanced global expertise. It offers user-friendly conceptual models to guide understanding and exploration of topics and summarizes and integrates the lessons learned in each chapter in applications-oriented 'Manager's Notebooks'. A companion website featuring comprehensive chapter-by-chapter PPT slides is available at www.cambridge.org/management_across_cultures.

State Capitalism and Working-class Radicalism in the French Aircraft Industry
"Using the example of the aircraft industry, which takes him like an arrow to the heart of many of the key conflicts in French life between 1936 and 1948, Herrick Chapman has written a penetrating and exceptionally well documented account of the way that France developed her present style of industrial relations, in which the state plays such a central role. No book I know so successfully integrates the history of aviation . . . with the political and social history of France. Both thorough and thoughtful, it is an impressive achievement."--Robert Wohl, University of California, Los Angeles "An unusual, innovative book based on impressive research that throws new light in a major way on twentieth-century French politics and society . . . one of the most interesting and original monographs in modern French history in a long time."--Robert O. Paxton, Columbia University "This is a breakthrough of considerable importance. [Chapman] will become the leading North American, perhaps even English-speaking, historian of contemporary France."--George Ross, Brandeis University
