Dethroning the King
How the King of Beers collapsed without a fight and what it means for America's place in the post-Recession world How did InBev, a Belgian company controlled by Brazilians, take over one of America's most beloved brands with scarcely a whimper of opposition? Chalk it up to perfect timing—and some unexpected help from powerful members of the Busch dynasty, the very family that had run the company for more than a century. In Dethroning the King, Julie MacIntosh, the award-winning financial journalist who led coverage of the takeover for the Financial Times, details how the drama that unfolded at Anheuser-Busch in 2008 went largely unreported as the world tumbled into a global economic crisis...

The humanitarian response to the Pakistan floods
In this report on the "Humanitarian Response to the Pakistan Floods", the International Development Committee has found that only $700 million of a $2 billion appeal has been delivered on the ground to help those in need, which is unacceptable given that there are millions of people still in need of humanitarian assistance and living in camps. The floods covered one fifth of the country, an area larger than England, and affected 18 million people. More than 1,900 lost their lives, 12 million were displaced and 1.7 million homes were damaged or destroyed. The scale of the floods overwhelmed the capacity of the international system, already stretched by the earthquake in Haiti, to respond effe...
The Blues
Profiles every player to represent New South Wales in State of Origin since 1980. The Blues tells the back stories to the 300-plus New South Welshmen who have contested the legendary State of Origin series. This is more than a rugby league book. It's a book about the children of immigrants, military personnel, farmers and factory workers. It's the story of Indigenous kids and boys from the bush who were told they were not good enough. And the story of those seemingly always destined for greatness. Best-author Alan Whiticker delves into the lives and careers of every player to pull on a sky-blue jersey and face the might of the Maroons in league's elite competition. The Blues: NSW's State of Origin Heroes is the companion title to Gelding Street Press's The Maroons by Robert Burgin.
A Statistical History of Rugby League -
The Greatest Game of All or Rugby League as it is known to some has given me nearly a half a century of pleasure and a little pain. In 1966 at the ripe old age of 6 I was introduced to our game when my Uncle Harry moved into the bedroom I shared with my younger brother in a 2 bedroom fibro joint in Rockdale(Dragon Territory). Harry was playing lower grades for Jack Gibsons Roosters and went on to play for St George in the 1971 Grand Final against my other front rower mate John Sattler and his Rabbitohs. By the age of 9 I had memorized every player in the Big League magazine. The game became my obsession. Even if I had not been lucky enough to play over 100 games in the best competition in th...
The Road to Audacity
Being audacious and adventurous can be inspiring, yet many of us hesitate to follow this path because of our concerns for comfort and security. In this bold book, Carter and Kourdi examine a radical new approach to being successful. The authors argue that success comes most easily to those who accept, and harness, the beneficial effects of risk. Communicating simple but powerful ideas with passion, this book guides individuals and organizations through the techniques that will help them to become more vigorous, motivated, effective and ultimately successful. Including original interviews and insights from people that have used audacity to get where they are, Road to Audacity shows why current approaches to life and work are increasingly outmoded. This book is vital reading for anyone who wants to make a success of their career, and their life.
Tax in Developing Countries
This report highlights the importance of tax collection in developing countries, and recommends that the UK's aid programme should increase its focus on supporting tax authorities. This is equally valid for all forms of taxation, including VAT, personal income taxation and corporate taxation. It is also essential that taxes are paid on a fair and equal basis by all. New tax rules on developing countries, the Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC) rules are designed to discourage UK-owned corporations from using tax havens. Traditionally these rules have applied to all UK-owned corporations - both those operating in the UK and those operating overseas. Under the new rules, however, this will appl...
