Economic Tsunami order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 40.00 each
Paperback
Author: Kevin Baker
In Stock: 1
The car markets around the world are about to get hit by a large quantity of cheap, quality new cars and car components, and the impact of those cars will be as sudden and as forceful as a tsunami. The surge of competition will be a result of the ever-accelerating development of the Chinese motor vehicle manufacturers. Those manufacturers were comparatively small and technologically inferior during the latter part of the twentieth century, but in the new millennium they have developed with surprising speed - doubling their output around every five years until in the very near future they will not only be dominant in China but will also be major players on the world stage. The motor vehicle manufacturing industry in many western countries has been faltering in recent years. It has been under enormous pressure even in current world trading conditions - even before the impact of Chinese cars.

Plenitude : The New Economics of True Wealth order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 41.00 each
Paperback
Author: Juliet Schor
In Stock: 0
Humans are degrading the planet far faster than they are regenerating it. The economic downturn that has accompanied the ecological crisis has led to another type of scarcity: incomes, jobs, and credit are also in short supply. Our usual way back to growth - a debt-financed consumer boom - is no longer an option we can afford. Plenitude puts sustainability at its core, but it is not a paradigm of sacrifice. Instead it's an argument that through a major shift to new sources of wealth, green technologies, and different ways of living, we can actually be better off and more economically secure. And as Schor observes, Plenitude is already emerging. People are busy creating lifestyles that offer a way out of the work and spend cycle. These pioneers' lives are scarce in conventional consumer goods and rich in the newly abundant resources of time, information, creativity and community. Taken together, these trends represent a movement away ... more

Paperback
Author: Chris Mann

When people hear you are a funeral director the reactions vary! Some will quickly change the subject, but the majority of people will ask plenty of questions. This is because there is an element of mystique about the profession. Consequently, people want to know what you do, and what you've seen.
This book starts from my early days as a funeral director's assistant, through to becoming a funeral director. It covers stories of tragedy, stories of laughter, stories of interest and some of the things that can and do go wrong! I worked for a leading Auckland funeral directing firm for eight years.
This is my story, my thoughts, my observations.
From helping the New Zealand Police at tragic roadside smashes and murders, through to the funerals themselves. From funerals attended by the Prime Minister and high class society, to funerals attended by street kids and drug addicts. From funerals where attendance is in the thousands, ... more

The Music Room order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: William Fiennes
In Stock: 1
'Fiennes has exceptional gifts, and he has written a small masterpiece, a tribute to the power of place, family and memory' - "Sunday Telegraph". William Fiennes' childhood was one of imagination and curiosity, bounded only by the horizon he saw from the roof-tiles of his ancient family home. His older brother Richard, known for his towering presence, his inventiveness, his great passion for Leeds United, and his suffering due to severe epilepsy, was an adored and charismatic figure in his life. Years later, eager to understand his brother's mind as fully as the ancient trees and secret haunts of his own journey towards adulthood, William Fiennes has written a profoundly moving account of his home, his family's care, and above all, of Richard. "The Music Room" is a luminous testament to the miracle of consciousness and to the permanence of love. 'On putting the book down I felt as if I had been hypnotised. It held me entranced, afraid ... more

Things I've Been Silent About : Memories of a Prodigal Daughter order quantity

NZ$ 30.00 each
Paperback
Author: Azar Nafisi
In Stock: 1
In Azar Nafisi's personal story of growing up in Iran, she shares her memories of a life lived in thrall to a powerful and complex mother, against the background of a country's political revolution.
Nafisi's intelligent and complicated mother, disappointed in her dreams of leading an important and romantic life, created mesmerising fictions about herself, her family, and her past.
But her daughter soon learned that these narratives of triumph hid as much as they revealed.
When her father began to see other women, young Azar began to keep his secrets from her mother. Nafisi's complicity in these childhood dramas ultimately led her to resist remaining silent about other personal - as well as political, cultural, and social - injustices.
Things I've Been Silent About is also a powerful historical picture of a family that spans the many periods of change leading up to the Islamic Revolution of 1978-79.

Paperback
Author: Jim Stanford
In Stock: 0
Economics is too important to be left to the economists. This brilliantly concise and readable book provides non-specialist readers with all the information they need to understand how capitalism works (and how it doesn't). Jim Stanford's book is an antidote to the abstract and ideological way that economics is normally taught and reported. Key concepts such as finance, competition and wage labour are explored, and their importance to everyday life is revealed.Stanford answers questions such as: 'do workers need capitalists?', 'why does capitalism harm the environment?', and 'what really happens on the stock market?' He offers both a realistic assessment of capitalism's strengths, and a robust critique of its many failures. This book will appeal to those working for a fairer world, and students of social sciences who need to engage with economics. The book is illustrated with humorous and educational cartoons by Tony Biddle, and is ... more

    Author: Harold L. Sirkin et al
    In Stock: 1
    Globality is very different from globalization, which primarily involves large western corporations expanding their operations and moving aggressively into new overseas markets.
    Globality radically defines a 'post-globalization' world, where companies from India, China, Russia, eastern Europe, Brazil and Mexico are expanding beyond their home base, entering and building new markets, creating whole industries, and competing for customers, resources, market share and attention. In short, the tide has turned. As a result, western companies need to understand these emerging new businesses and the economies they come from in order to stay ahead and stay alive. Globality is a stunning clarion call that provides a whole new view of how business will be conducted for years to come.

    Everybody wants to be creative. Creativity makes life more fun, more interesting and more full of achievement, but too many people believe that creativity is something you are born with and cannot be learned.
    In How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono - the leading authority on creative thinking - outlines 62 different games and exercises, built around random words chosen from a list, to help encourage creativity and lateral thinking. For example, if the task were to provide an idea for a new restaurant and the random word chosen was 'cloak', ideas generated might be: a highwayman theme; a Venetian theme with gondolas; masked waiters and waitresses. Or, if asked to make a connection between the two random words 'desk' and 'shorts', readers may come up with: both are functional; desks have 'knee holes' and shorts expose the knees; traditionally they were both male-associated items. All the exercises are simple, practical and ... more

Given his commercial success, Bob is well-placed to write on management, but this is no dry exposition as one might anticipate with such a subject. Rather, an eclectic range of topics, individuals and propositions grace these pages.
    Was Haile Selassie foolish to deny Rastafarians' claim that he was God? Could there be a market for wheel-chaired strippers? The importance of drunkenness in making commercial decisions. These and many other subjects are addressed in a book that will delight readers and is vintage Jones.

    Paperback
    Author: David Grant
    In Stock: 1
    Ken Douglas was raised in a hardworking, tough-talking, union-focussed Wellington family and got into union politics as a very young working man. Hard-nosed, pragmatic and never scared of a scrap, he rose through the ranks, got deeper into left-wing ideology and activity with his membership of the Socialist Unity Party, and ultimately became head of the FOL, and the most powerful unionist in the land.
    Depending on your politics, he was one of the most respected or the most hated men in the country; ironic then that in later years he was appointed to some of the country's most important boards.

    In this powerful biography, David Grant - who had unprecedented access to Douglas - explores the facets of this remarkable man, who was there during the union movement's most powerful days and watched its emasculation.
    It is a unique portrait of a unique New Zealander, whose life has been this country's times.

    The Pirate's Dilemma : How Hackers, Punk Capitalists, Graffiti Millionaires and other Youth Movements are Remixing our Culture and Changing our World order quantity

    NZ$ 37.00 each
    Paperback
    Author: Matt Mason
    In Stock: 1
    What's the connection between the nun who invented disco, and the effect of file sharing? How does hip-hop manage to be an underground movement and a hugely commercial business - at the same time? And how are pirates, of the kind who started commercial radio in the twentieth century, changing society in the 21st?

    The Pirate's Dilemma tells the stories of youth culture uncovering, for the first time, what it is that transforms underground scenes into global industries.

    'Before we started filming the television programme The School of Home Truths I honestly thought that real estate agents were basically good guys.'

    The School of Home Truths is a television programme aimed to help people succeed at the game of real estate. Thirteen novice buyers and sellers were taken into the school and tutored by Martin Hawes (financial adviser), Marc Wilson (psychologist) and Neil Jenman (real estate ethics campaigner).
