What Works
A lively, counter-intuitive journey that illuminates the elusive difference between triumph and failure. What can we learn from the surprisingly well-ordered slums of Mumbai? How has gambling helped to extend the lifespan of Hong Kong residents? Why have good manners helped Whistler become the most popular ski resort in North America? This galvanizing exploration of some of the world's greatest success stories provides an optimistic and eminently practical guide to what works and why. Drawing life lessons from eye-opening ideas on every continent - from America to Europe, from Africa to Asia and Australasia - award-winning journalist McRae's stories are as surprising as they are inspiring. A rousing corrective to the current economic gloom, What Works will leave you entertained, informed and, ultimately, enlightened as to what each of us can do to make successes of our businesses, our communities and our lives.

Detective Sergeant Logan McRae isn't exactly thrilled to be part of the team helping settle parolled convict Martin Knox into his new Aberdeen home, or being stuck with DSI Danby from Northumbria Police who put Knox behind bars. And things are about to go very, very wrong. Three heavies from Newcastle want a 'quiet word' with DSI Danby about a missing mob accountant. And Martin Knox's dark past isn't done with him yet!
More Human
Both campaigns are treating people like simpletons. In More Human, read the truth about Brexit, from someone who really knows. In this powerful manifesto, Steve Hilton argues that the frustrations people feel with government, politics, their economic circumstances and their daily lives are caused by deep structural problems with the systems that dominate our modern world – systems that have become too big, bureaucratic and distant from the human scale. He shows how change is possible, offering us a more human way of living.
