Business Highlights:


Cold Steel
In 2006, the two largest steel-producers went head-to-head in a bitter battle for total market domination. Lakshmi Mittal, a Calcutta-born industrialist proposes a friendly merger with rival Arcelor, a pan-European company whose interested parties include the governments of Spain, Luxembourg and Belgium. Arcelor’s mercurial CEO firmly refuses, and the scene is set for a massive hostile takeover.
 

Everything is Negotiable
Whether you need to ask for a raise at work, request a better hotel room while you’re on holiday, or even debate with your stubborn teenager at home, you can learn effective and powerful negotiation skills to help you get the best deal every time. In this fully revised and updated edition, expert negotiator Gavin Kennedy walks you through all the techniques and tricks you need to get the best deal in any situation.


The Economic Naturalist
Economics doesn’t just happen in classrooms or international banks. It is everywhere and influences everything we do and see, from the cinema screen to the streets. It can even explain some of life’s most intriguing enigmas. For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to use economics to explain the strange situations they encounter in everyday life, from peculiar product design to the vagaries of sex appeal.


 

Debt
Welcome to the first friendly guide to negative equity that’s honest, readable and empowering. Debt tells you the real facts about money and puts you firmly in control of your finances. This book shows you how and why we get into debt and, most importantly, how you can find your way out: using interest rates to your advantage, debt consolidation, prioritising debt, and dealing with student loans and credit cards.

Career Advice:


Looking for some good career advice? Below is a selection from our monthly career advice feature.


A Life at Work
The majority of us will spend longer each day in our respective workplace than we will at home. We all want to enjoy our professional lives, but many people feel dissatisfied at work and are asking ‘Why am I doing what I’m doing?’ In A Life at Work, bestselling author Thomas Moore uses his famous blend of spirituality and psychology to address the strong desire all of us have to feel fulfilled and satisfied by our work and careers.
 

Change Your Life
If you wanted to be a successful chef, you would read Gordon Ramsay’s autobiography. He tells you how he became the successful cook and businessman he is today. Allen Carr’s book does the same. It tells you how he became a world-renowned therapist, helping millions of people to give up smoking. Change Your Life is for everyone else. Those who have the best will in the world, but never get round to using it.
