Discovery Road
The inspiring story of the first people to ride mountain bikes across the vast deserts of Australia, the dangerous bushlands of Africa, and the mountains of South America Fed up and disillusioned with corporate life, Andy persuaded Tim to leave his job and cycle around the world, convinced there could be more to life. Their goal was to become the first people to ride mountain bikes unsupported across the three southern continents and, in doing so, to raise money for the charity Intermediate Technology. This is a fast-moving tale of self-discovery, full of adventure, conflict, humor, danger, and a multitude of colorful characters. Much more than a travelogue, it proves ordinary people can chase great dreams.

Devil in the House
"This novel about the inner workings of the U.S. Congress is as timely as today's news and as unsettling as tomorrow's headlines--and just as intriguing." --Robert H. Michel, former Minority Leader, U.S. House of Representatives "A gripping read, Devil in the House provides a tantalizing look inside Washington politics and at duplicity on Capitol Hill." --Milton Friedman, former senior White House speech writer "A powerful look at the unprincipled use of power on Capitol Hill." --Sidney Yudain, founder and former editor/publisher of Roll Call, the Newspaper of Capitol Hill
The Fish Rots From The Head
As a Chinese proverb says 'The fish rots from the head' and so it is with businesses and other organisations - the buck starts and stops in the boardroom. This third edition of Bob Garratt's bestselling book that highlights the importance of effective corporate governance has been extensively updated following the corporate scandals of the early 2000s - Enron, WorldCom, Tyco - and the abysmal boardroom standards that the credit crunch and ensuing global financial crisis brought to light. This new edition builds on the Learning Board model developed by the author and now widely used internationally by corporations and public sector organisations such as the NHS. The result is a thought-provoking and highly practical book that will be invaluable to all those with responsibility for corporate governance - and also those who subject them to scrutiny. What Sir Adrian Cadbury, whose committee's groundbreaking report on corporate governance was published nearly twenty years ago, said about the first edition remains as true today as ever: 'No director can afford to ignore this book'.
