Pure design or something more? On the one hand we have clean, sensible designs that focus on form, materials, and color. On the other hand we have pure originality, blurring the line between artwork and industrial design. This title presents the latest creations by some of the most well known design firms, prestigious designers, as well as up-and-comers who have yet to leave their mark. These works leave us stunned by their beauty as well as the obvious impact they will soon have on the design world. This book takes us on a ride through the world of "Pure Designers", those of this generation and the next.

Where does the Protestant work ethic come from? And how did America achieve such dominance in management for so long? "The Puritan Gift" traces the origins and the characteristics of American managerial culture which, in the course of three centuries, turned a group of small colonies into the greatest economic and political power on earth. It argues that the drive, energy and acceptance of innovation, competition, growth and social mobility, all of which lie at the root of America`s management culture, have their origins in the discipline and ethos of America`s first wave of European immigrants: the , the authors warn, as Americans distance themselves from the core values which produced their business and economic successes during the...

Being trained by the Assassin`s Guild in Ankh-Morpork did not fit Teppic for the task assigned to him by fate. He inherited the throne of the desert kingdom of Djelibeybi rather earlier than he expected (his father wasn`t too happy about it either), but that was only the beginning of his "Pyramids" (the book of going forth) is the seventh Discworld novel - and the most outrageously funny to date.

Meet the water bears that can live in suspension for hundreds of years, the parasite carried by your cat that makes men grumpy and women promiscuous, and the woodlouse that drinks through its bottom. Marvel at elephants that walk on tiptoe, the pigs that shine in the dark, and the woodpeckers that have ears on the end of their tongues. From the team that brought ignorance to millions, a Christmas bestseller - full of illuminating illustrations, maps and diagrams - shrunk down to a pocket-friendly, easily-searchable, portability-considerate size.

Have you ever wondered why most books of quotations are stuffed full of rather pedestrian quotes by people you`ve never heard of? It`s a shame because a really good quotation book, one which gathered the truest and funniest insights of the best minds, and organised them into 250 subjects, from ambition to worry, (or from artichokes to woodpeckers), a book which offered you a useful take on almost every situation life throws at you (from the death of your child`s hamster to the unified theory of everything), a sourcebook of wise one-loners, of knock-out jokes, of drole asides and heartfelt statements of truth and beauty, a practical handbook of interestingness, well, that would be worth having. And, guess what? Those thoughtful gentlemen...

The fictional world of Will Self is unlike any other. In "The Quantity Theory of Insanity" we learn, amongst other things, the dark and terrible secret of Ward 9, why you are right to think that London is full of dead people and that each and every human being is caught up in a colossal balancing act between the sane and the insane. "The Quantity Theory of Insanity" is acerbic, satirical, hilarious and, most of all, utterly unique in imaginative vision.

In this hilarious romp through England, one of America`s pre-eminent humourists seeks the answer to an eternal question: what makes the Brits tick? One semi-tropical Fourth of July, Joe Queenan’s English wife suggested that the family might like a chicken tikka masala in lieu of the customary barbecue. It was this pitiless act of gastronomic cultural oppression, coupled with the dread of the fearsome Christmas pudding that awaited him for dessert, that inspired the author to make a solitary pilgrimage to Great Britain. Freed from the obligation to visit an unending procession of Auntie Margarets and Cousin Robins, as he had done for the first twenty-five years of his marriage, Queenan decided that he would not come back from Albion...
