Never Forget

The #1 bestselling novel by the master of the killer twist

By: Michel Bussi

A #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER A SUNDAY TIMES CRIME BOOK OF THE MONTH 'Outrageously entertaining' The Times 'A tantalising story that wraps the reader in myriad enigmas - utterly spellbinding' Daily Mail 'As exhilarating as Bussi's breakthrough novel After the Crash' The Sunday Times 'Agatha Christie updated and then cranked up to 11: a blast' Shots Magazine REVENGE IS WORTH WAITING FOR... Jamal loves to run. But one morning - as he is training on a path winding up a steep cliff - he stumbles across a woman in distress. It's a matter of seconds: suddenly she is falling through the air, crashing on the beach below. Jamal is only an unlucky bystander - or is he? His version of events doesn't seem to fit with what other eyewitnesses claim to have seen. And how to explain the red scarf carefully arranged around the dead woman's neck? Perhaps this was no accident after all. Or perhaps there is something more sinister afoot - a devilish plan decades in the making, masterminded by someone hell-bent on revenge. MICHEL BUSSI: THE MASTER OF THE KILLER TWIST Beloved by readers... 'I didn't anticipate all the twists and turns in this cleverly plotted novel' 'The final twist is a bit of a jaw dropper' 'Twists and turns aplenty!' 'A twisting, turning story which clobbers you with a number of cracking twists!' 'Fast-paced and chock full of twists, turns and red herrings' ...and critics 'A novel so extraordinary that it reminded me of reading Steig Larsson for the very first time . . . I doubt I'll read a more brilliant crime novel this year' Sunday Times on After the Crash 'A dazzling, unexpected and haunting masterpiece' Daily Mail on Black Water Lilies 'Inventive, original and incredibly entertaining' Sunday Mirror on Don't Let Go 'Combines an extraordinarily inventive plot with characters haunted by long-ago events - and demonstrates why he has such a hold on readers' Sunday Times on Time is a Killer

The Complete Essays

By: Michel Montaigne

Michel de Montaigne was one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance, singlehandedly responsible for popularising the essay as a literary form. This Penguin Classics edition of The Complete Essays is translated from the French and edited with an introduction and notes by M.A. Screech. In 1572 Montaigne retired to his estates in order to devote himself to leisure, reading and reflection. There he wrote his constantly expanding 'assays', inspired by the ideas he found in books contained in his library and from his own experience. He discusses subjects as diverse as war-horses and cannibals, poetry and politics, sex and religion, love and friendship, ecstasy and experience. But, above all, Montaigne studied himself as a way of drawing out his own inner nature and that of men and women in general. The Essays are among the most idiosyncratic and personal works in all literature and provide an engaging insight into a wise Renaissance mind, continuing to give pleasure and enlightenment to modern readers. With its extensive introduction and notes, M.A. Screech's edition of Montaigne is widely regarded as the most distinguished of recent times. Michel de Montaigne (1533-1586) studied law and spent a number of years working as a counsellor before devoting his life to reading, writing and reflection. If you enjoyed The Complete Essays, you might like Francois Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, also available in Penguin Classics. 'Screech's fine version ... must surely serve as the definitive English Montaigne' A.C. Grayling, Financial Times 'A superb edition' Nicholas Wollaston, Observer

Workshop Management

Collective Intelligence and Internalization

By: Kevin J. Johnson,Jean-Michel Moutot,David Autissier

It may well now be the time to look for new ways of diagnosing, planning, building team cohesion, fostering innovation and implementing changes and strategies. The classic management models have been used and reused, but they have now reached their limits, unable to keep pace with today’s corporate complexity. As more and more is required in the business environment, more is asked of your organization’s personnel. Significant numbers of your employees may be experiencing withdrawal, cynicism and a lack of motivation. Dynamic management routines and sense-making priorities are badly needed in many organizations, as they seek to overcome a crisis of jaded personnel. Now may be the time to look more seriously at workshop management. On the one side, this book presents how to achieve organizational performance and efficacy with workshops designed to bring together collective intelligence through analysis, planning, implementation challenges and more. On the other side, this new perspective builds on disruptive approaches and creativity management models. It proposes an integrated framework that allows you to design your own workshop sequence to suit the specific issues and challenges you want to address. The framework is easy to adjust; simply follow the enclosed guide to achieve the desired objectives: planning organizational change, reorganizing a team, fostering cohesion, enabling creativity, developing a vision, reframing a strategy and more. To help you attain your goals, all 50 workshops are explained in detail on technical sheets containing the workshop descriptions, underlying motives, group compositions, activity illustrations and examples, timing and leadership guidelines, expectations and objectives, etc. You can use them as-is or adapt them to your liking. Kevin J. Johnson is a Management professor at HEC Montréal. His experience also includes acting as a consultant for many private and public organizations, and publishing academic research on change management and organizational behaviour. Jean-Michel Moutot is a professor at Audencia Business School. He has 20 years of experience working for large French and international corporations, helping them with strategic transformations. David Autissier is the director of the ESSEC Chair for Change and a professor at IAE Gustave Eiffel, University Paris-Est Creteil. He worked as a change management consultant in large corporations for 20 years.

Les Vikings

Les Vikings

By: Carrie Love,Lorrie Mack,Michel Hourst

Une invitation à remonter le temps afin de découvrir les Vikings, qui furent de féroces combattants, mais également d'excellents marins et de brillants artisans. Au fil des pages sont ainsi révélés leurs instruments de navigation, embarcations, explorations, armes, vêtements, vie à la ferme en compagnie de leurs femmes et enfants, jeux et loisirs, rites funéraires, etc. -- Un ouvrage à la mise en pages vivante et diversifiée qui vaut principalement pour sa riche iconographie, composée de saisissantes photographies, auxquelles se greffent quelques encadrés, schémas et courts textes explicatifs. Ces derniers ont le mérite de ne pas s'attarder sur les combats sanglants de ces peuples méconnus pour lever le voile sur les moeurs et habitudes de vie qui avaient cours dans des temps reculés.
