The Viral Family Robinson
Ryan Shaw, a disillusioned journalist in the provincial English town of Bardow, comes to suspect that his new neighbors, the Robinsons, have committed a crime. As he investigates he starts to uncover a conspiracy - not of some sinister cult or powerful elite but of ordinary people, people who refuse to be 'managed' any more. Inspired by Johann David Wyss's classic The Swiss Family Robinson, this viral version of the eponymous family extols the principles of pragmatism, co-operation and self-reliance for the twenty-first century.
Talk
We spend much of our days talking. Yet we know little about the conversational engine that drives our everyday lives. We are pushed and pulled around by language far more than we realize, yet are seduced by stereotypes and myths about communication. This book will change the way you think about talk. It will explain the big pay-offs to understanding conversation scientifically. Elizabeth Stokoe, a social psychologist, has spent over twenty years collecting and analysing real conversations across settings as varied as first dates, crisis negotiation, sales encounters and medical communication. This book describes some of the findings of her own research, and that of other conversation analysts around the world. Through numerous examples from real interactions between friends, partners, colleagues, police officers, mediators, doctors and many others, you will learn that some of what you think you know about talk is wrong. But you will also uncover fresh insights about how to have better conversations - using the evidence from fifty years of research about the science of talk.
Unfinished Business
Edited by David Cameron, Steve Munby and Mick Waters, Unfinished Business is both a tribute to Sir Tim Brighouse and a call to action based on Tim's approaches, commitment and ideas. The first part of the book celebrates Tim's life and achievements. This includes contributions from his son Harry and longstanding colleagues and friends such as Bob Moon, David Woods and Jo n Coles. These accounts provide a rounded picture of Tim and, in a sense, make the case for listening to him and commemorating him in action rather than simply celebrating his memory. This part also includes contributions from David Blunkett and Estelle Morris that underline Tim's national status. The second part of the book...

Sniffing the Wind
When Pepi 101, who was successfully cloned to solve organ transplant rejection and HIV, accidentally escapes from Robinson Labs, she is found in a semi truck trailer owned by the Hanes brothers, who are on their way to a truck stop and a Wal-Mart pickup. They find Pepi 101 and bring her to the pound to be adopted because, tough guy, String Bean Hanes is competing in a cross dressing contest that night. At the pound, Pepi 101 meets other dogs that tell her of the canine's perspective of the human condition. Eventually, a loving family adopts Pepi for their thirteen-year-old daughter, Sara, who is HIV infected. Sara's whole life becomes one of hope and affection, until tragically a dognapper steals Pepi in order to collect a large ransom for Pepi's return to Robinson Research. Fortunately, Pepi 101 is rescued but targeted by The Right Way, a terrorist Luddite cult that is determined to murder the scientists and Pepi 101.

Project Risk Analysis
Projects overspend and overrun. Business cases perform less well than expected. Managers tighten their grip and initiate more procedure. But little changes and the scenario repeats, and it has done so for decades. Losing other peoples' money and goodwill is almost an innate characteristic of projects. This may be a norm but it need not be the natural state of affairs. In Project Risk Analysis, Derek Salkeld shows how easily assimilated techniques developed out of formal risk analysis methods can be used to increase the chances of projects being delivered to the oft quoted objective of on time and to budget, to quality and to popular acceptance. These techniques need to be understood by manag...
