Adventures of a Collector
The author of Once a Jolly Swagman and Bagman to Swagman shares his amusing, and sometimes hair-raising, anecdotes about his life as an international collector of antiques and works of art. These are stories of excitement and disappointment, passion and commerce, and a world where philanthropy rubs shoulders with crime - often to hilarious effect.
The Servant
"Lord McAlpine observed the inner workings of political power during the fifteen years Margaret Thatcher was leader of the Conservative Party and he was its Treasurer and Deputy Chairman. One of the Prime Minister's close personal advisers during three successful general election campaigns, he witnessed innumerable battles within the cabinet and the Party." "As Machiavelli's The Prince described a code of conduct for political leaders, so Alistair McAlpine explores the relationship between the Prince and his or her devoted aide - the Servant. The result is an entertaining guide to survival in a world of suspicion and envy, of strategic alliances and ruthless disinformation. The Servant expla...
The New Machiavelli
Jetzt neu als Broschurausgabe! Ebenso wie Machiavelli in seinem Werk "Der Fürst" einen Verhaltenskodex für politische Führer beschrieben hat, erläutert McAlpine das Verhältnis zwischen dem modernen Geschäftsführer und seinen Angestellten und Aktionären. Kapitel für Kapitel werden die stets gleichbleibenden Kernaspekte von Politik und Wirtschaft beleuchtet - von der Schmeichelei über Loyalität, von der Schläue über Steuerung, von der Unternehmensgründung über den Aufbau eines Firmenimages. Das Ergebnis ist eine unterhaltsame Lektüre über das Wesen von Politik und Macht in einer Welt des Mißtrauens und Neids, der strategischen Allianzen und rücksichtsloser Desinformation. (10/99)

Being the Bad Guys
How to live confidently for Jesus in today's world. The church used to be recognized as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence. In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism? Author Stephen McAlpine offers an analysis of how our culture ended up this way and explains key points of tension between biblical Christianity and secular culture. He encourages Christians not to be ashamed of the gospel as it is more liberating, fulfilling and joyful than anything the world has to offer. He also offers strategies for coping in this world, with its opposing values, and for reaching out to others wisely with the truth.
