Occasions
Lifestyle Books by Kate Spade Every occasion calls out for something
extra, whether it's flowers you set on the table, foods to honor
a special gathering, or the selection of music. For both hostess
and guest, consideration of those around you is among the most important
qualities for any enjoyable occasion. A smile and sense of humor
are also essential, and before the canaps and night lighting a good
hostess is ultimately defined by a welcoming and gracious demeanor.
In Occasions, designer Kate Spade invites you into her world of
easy, festive entertaining, where the emphasis is not on 'the perfect
meal' but on having 'the perfect time.' It's a world where laughter
and conversation at dinner parties are encouraged and where spilled
red wine on the couch is no reason to stop the music. As Kate says,
'Making your guests feel at home is truly an art and it's one worth
cultivating.' Any occasion begins with preparation, and at the outset
Kate describes such basic components as lighting (votive candles
are a must); table linens, flatware, and glassware; flowers (trimmed
short and tightly massed); even bedding for overnight or weekend
guests. Party shopping lists, hors d'oeuvres and cocktail favorites,
and dinner party menus are all included. An 'Alphabet of Special
Events,' from baby showers to tailgate picnics, is both anecdotal
and useful for would-be hostesses everywhere. Whether you entertain
a lot or a little, and whether your style is casual or formal, Occasions,
with more than 230 charming watercolor illustrations, is a handy
and fresh approach to the subject, a book to be treasured today
and over the years. Above all, at any gathering 'hospitality makes
for infectious fun.' Product Details: Hard Cover Genre: Lifestyle

Vampirates
No. 1 & 2 - Two Book Set Demons of the Oceans by Justin Somper Connor
and Grace are twins, recently orphaned after their widowed father's
death. Rather than being adopted by the town's busy-bodies, they
decide to set sail for new pastures in their father's last single
possession, his sailing boat. But a vicious storm sees their boat
capsize and the twins are separated. Two mysterious ships sail to
their rescue - each picking up one twin before disappearing into
the mist. Connor wakes to find himself on a pirate ship and is soon
being trained up with a cutlass. Meanwhile Grace finds herself locked
in a darkened room, as the vampirates wait for night to fall and
their feasting to begin... Determined to find each other, yet intrigued
by their new shipmates, the twins are about to embark on the biggest
adventure of their life... Tide of Terrors by Justin Somper Connor
Tempest may only be fourteen but he's taken to the life of a pirate
like a duck to water. But his loyalties are divided between his
shipmates and his sister. Grace Tempest isn't finding the pirate
life so appealing. She cannot shake the feeling that all is not
well on the vampirate ship she left behind. Dare she try to return
to it? Sidorio may have been expelled from the vampirate ship but
his dark deeds are just beginning. In this sequel to Vampirates:
Demons of the Ocean, the seas are rougher than ever and a new tide
of terror sweeps up Connor, Grace, their allies and their foes.
Justin Somper is well-known as a children's books publicity consultant,
working on high profile campaigns like the launch of Anthony Horowitz's
Alex Rider series and David Lee Stone's Illmoor Chronicles. Less
well-known is his interest in vampires and that he's a dab hand
at sword-fighting. Vampirates brings together both his interests,
creating a world to delight children and adults alike. He lives
in N. London. Product Details: Soft Cover Genre: Young Adult Fiction

Getting
Pregnant the Hard Way - A Husband's Tale by Mikael Svanstrom This
is the funny tale of a five year journey through fertility, and
infertility-from a man's perspective. Mikael has mutant sperm that
can't fertilise an egg. He doesn't think his wife blames him for
it, but still feels inadequate - 'having useless balls is about
as bad as having no balls at all,' he says. Mikael hates infertility
books as they focus too much on the woman and make him feel insignificant.
Mikael doesn't set himself up as an expert and doesn't try and sell
one or another way to get pregnant. What he does tell is the story
of the roller-coaster he and his wife and went through trying to
get pregnant. It has a happy ending though - they have two beautiful
daughters. Product Details: Paperback Genre: Parenting ISBN: 9781741105988

State
of Africa by Martin Meredith Africa is forever on our TV screens,
but the bad-news stories (famine, genocide, corruption) massively
outweigh the good (South Africa). Ever since the process of decolonialisation
began in the mid-1950s, and arguably before, the continent has appeared
to be stuck in a process of irreversible decline. Constant war,
improper use of natural resources and misappropriation of revenues
and aid monies contribute to an impression of a continent beyond
hope. How did we get here? What, if anything, is to be done? Weaving
together the key stories and characters of the last fifty years
into a stunningly compelling and coherent narrative, Martin Meredith
has produced the definitive history of how European ideas of how
to organise 10,000 different ethnic groups has led to what Tony
Blair described as the 'scar on the conscience of the world'. Authoritative,
provocative and consistently fascinating, this is a major book on
one of the most important issues facing the West today. Martin Meredith
is the author of many acclaimed books on Africa including lives
of Robert Mugabe and Nelson Mandela and Coming to Terms: South Africa's
Search for Truth. He lives near Oxford. Product Details: Paperback

Fiction Triple Pack - Three Books No Place Like Home by Mary Higgins
Clark 'I cannot believe I am standing in the exact spot where I
was standing when I killed my mother...' When she was ten Liza Barton
shot her mother dead, trying to protect her from her violent stepfather.
The court ruled the death a tragic accident. Many believed it to
be deliberate murder. Twenty-four years later, Liza is known as
Celia. Now a successful interior designer, living in Manhattan,
she is happily married for the second time, with a young son, Jack,
by her first marriage. Nothing can disturb their peace. But when
her new husband surprises her with a gift, her world is suddenly
shattered - for it is the very same house where her mother met her
death. It soon becomes clear that someone in the community knows
Celia's true identity. And when the estate agent who sold the house
is brutally murdered, Celia instantly becomes a suspect. As Celia
fights to prove her innocence, she has no idea that she and Jack
could be the next targets of a ruthless killer. Above Suspicion
by Lynda La Plante Young Anna Travis has been assigned to her first
murder case - a series of killings that has shocked even the most
hardened of detectives. They started eight years ago - now the body
count is up to six. The method of killing is identical, the backgrounds
of the girls identical - all drug-users and prostitutes. Then a
seventh body is found. The modus operandi is the same - but the
victim is a young student with the 'face of an angel'. The profile
of the murderer has changed dramatically. Determined to earn the
respect of her male colleagues, Anna stumbles on a vital piece of
information which links one man to the killings, a much-loved actor
on the brink of international stardom. His arrest would create a
media frenzy. But if he were found innocent, his wouldn't be the
only career over - Anna's hard fought for reputation would be destroyed

First,
Break All the Rules (Aust) by Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman
Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman expose the fallacies of standard
management thinking in First, Break All the Rules: What the World's
Greatest Managers Do Differently. In seven chapters, the two consultants
for the Gallup Organization debunk some dearly held notions about
management, such as 'treat people as you like to be treated'; 'people
are capable of almost anything'; and 'a manager's role is diminishing
in today's economy.' 'Great managers are revolutionaries,' the authors
write. 'This book will take you inside the minds of these managers
to explain why they have toppled conventional wisdom and reveal
the new truths they have forged in its place.' The authors have
culled their observations from more than 80,000 interviews conducted
by Gallup during the past 25 years. Quoting leaders such as basketball
coach Phil Jackson, Buckingham and Coffman outline 'four keys' to
becoming an excellent manager: Finding the right fit for employees,
focusing on strengths of employees, defining the right results,
and selecting staff for talent - not just knowledge and skills.
First, Break All the Rules offers specific techniques for helping
people perform better on the job. For instance, the authors show
ways to structure a trial period for a new worker and how to create
a pay plan that rewards people for their expertise instead of how
fast they climb the company ladder. 'The point is to focus people
toward performance,' they write. 'The manager is, and should be,
totally responsible for this.' Written in plain English and well
organized, this book tells you exactly how to improve as a supervisor.
Marcus Buckingham is the co-author of the best-selling books First,
Break All the Rules and Now, Discover Your Strengths. He is a renowned
speaker and regular guest on American television. He lives in Los
Angeles but was born in England and is a graduate of Cambridge University.

One
Thing You Need To Know by Marcus Buckingham Drawing on a wide body
of research, including extensive in-depth interviews, The One Thing
You Need to Know reveals the central insights that lie at the core
of: Great Managing, Great Leadership and Great Careers. Buckingham
uses a wealth of relevant examples to reveal that at the heart of
each insight lies a controlling insight. Lose sight of this 'one
thing' and all of your best efforts at managing, leading, or individual
achievement will be diminished. For great managing, the controlling
insight has less to do with fairness, or team building, or clear
expectations (although all are important). Rather, the one thing
great managers know is the need to discover and then capitalize
on what is unique about each person. For leadership, the controlling
insight is the opposite - discover and capitalize on what is universal
to all your people, regardless of differences in personality, race,
sex, or age. For sustained individual success, the controlling insight
is the need to discover what you don't like doing, and know how
and when to stop doing it. In every way a groundbreaking work, The
One Thing You Need to Know offers crucial performance and career
lessons for business people at every level. Marcus Buckingham is

Self
Matters: Creating Your Life by Phillip C McGraw 'What if there is
a You that has never seen the light of day, has never got to say,
'Hey, what about me?' What if there is a You that you have never
even met and certainly never permitted to just be, without fear
of judgment or condemnation? What if you live your life on the sidelines
in constant fear of failing to please those who forever seem to
stand in judgment of you and your life? What if you discovered that
you had settled for what life has served up instead of what you
really wanted and needed? What if you really think and feel things
you have never allowed to come out, and certainly never acted on?
What if your marriage is not at all what you really emotionally
want and need, but you silently stay the course anyway, selling
out your hope to be happy? What if you are allowing days to turn
into weeks and weeks to turn into months and months to turn into
years, all adding up to a lifetime of being what some nameless,
faceless world has assigned you to be? If any of these 'What ifs'
are true in your life, then we need to talk, and through these pages,
we will. First, I have some bad news, and I have some good news.
The bad news is you are making the choices that have put you in
this life circumstance; the good news is you are making the choices
that have put you in this life circumstance. Now is the time to
make the biggest choice of your life. Through Self Matters, I will
help you do just that.' Phillip C. McGraw, Ph.D., is best known

So
You're Going To Be A Dad (Revised) by Peter Downey Completely revised
and updated for 21st century fathers-to-be, So You're Going to Be
a Dad is written especially for unsuspecting Australian males, who
know little or nothing about parenting, but are keen to have a go.
This is a book that explodes the myths - a tough, uncompromising,
no-holds-barred, no-beg-your-pardons look at fatherhood, from the
sperm that started it all to the sleep deprivation you'll suffer
as a consequence. In his wry and very funny style, Peter Downey
tells all about the trials and joys of parenting, including advice
about pregnancy, childbirth and baby care. Included is important
advice on what to say - and what not to say - when you hear the
news; taking care of mums-to-be; why embryos look like the monster
in Alien; names not to call your baby; what childbirth feels like;
how many cameras you should take to the birth; crying; nappies;
who was the superior Batman: Michael Keaton or Adam West?; bathing;
travelling; your baby's development; baby-proofing your home; how
much this is all going to cost; and lots of stuff about sex. But
that's not all! It comes complete with a glossary full of handy
words new dads will need to know, and a lot more that they won't,
plus the films to watch and the ones to avoid, and words of wisdom
from real live fathers. So You're Going to Be a Dad is without doubt
one of the greatest parental educational books ever written. Peter
Downey is an author because he couldn't cut it as a musician! He
is also a schoolteacher, and lives in the Sydney suburb of Balgowlah
with his wife, three children and four guinea pigs. He wrote this
book back in the nineties because he believed somebody should warn
dads-to-be about the enormous changes fatherhood brings to their
lives. He believes this to be so, more than ever. He also wrote
this book because he believes that our society needs more good dads.

Style
by Kate Spade A few lucky women have been born with style - think
Diana Vreeland and Jacqueline Onassis - but for most of us, style
is something that comes with time and experience. Above all, style
begins with a sense of who you are and your self-confidence. Style
comes from opening yourself to the world around you - to books and
movies, art, music, travel, and especially to other people. In this
upbeat and engaging book, designer Kate Spade talks about the many
people and experiences that have inspired her. For Kate, movies
as varied as The Swimmer and The Red Balloon have influenced her
vision of style, as have such places as Mexico (where she and her
husband, Andy, vacation each year), Napa Valley, and her hometown
of Kansas City. In the pages of Style, you'll find a large section
devoted to the colors Kate most loves and suggestions for combining
them. Accessories, which are the backbone of her wardrobe, are given
full treatment here, including shoes, handbags, hats, gloves, and
jewellery; and a portfolio of Kate's personal favourites from her
own closet is showcased. Style in the office, evening style, even
ideas for style when you travel and when you play are all featured
here. The last section of Style focuses on maintaining your wardrobe,
including tips on organizing your closet, caring for vintage clothes,
and keeping your jewelry in good condition. Style, with 230 watercolour
illustrations, is a wonderfully personal and friendly book intended

Wagamama
Ways With Noodles by Hugo Arnold The Wagamama Cookbook told the
story of the company and was driven by the menu and the specials
attached to it. Ways with Noodles takes its inspiration from wagamama's
core expertise; noodles: how to cook, serve and eat them. Noodles
are the fast food of today, the pasta of the 21st century. The distinctive
wagamama flavour originates from the traditional 200-year-old ramen
(noodle) stalls of Japan that guaranteed nourishment with ingredients
to cleanse and nurture the mind and body. Minimum fuss and maximum
enjoyment are what wagamama noodles are about. Noodles to soothe,
noodles to celebrate, noodles to share, noodles for that impromptu
supper for one when nothing else will do. Hugely versatile, noodles
turn up in soups, side dishes, as a nest for meat, fish or vegetables,
as a bed for curry or in a salad. They can be stir fried or dressed,
or poached in a heady broth, aromatics being provided by freshly
chopped herbs. And they are healthy too: high in complex carbohydrates,
low in fat, while most recipes make much use of fresh vegetables
and fish. Brush up on your noodle knowledge and get to know your
soba from your somen. Try the mouthwatering recipes, which include
wide-ribbon hot-pot with seven vegetables, char grilled chicken,
soba and miso soup, and marinated salmon ramen. Look no further
for delicious noodle recipes for every occasion, from appetisers
to family meals to elegant dinner party dishes. Hugo Arnold is mad
about noodles. Having written The Wagamama Cookbook, the opportunity
to indulge in even more noodles was too great a temptation to ignore.
So armed with chopsticks... Hugo has written food columns in the
London Evening Standard, the Financial Times and now the Irish Times.
He is the author of seven books, and won a Glenfiddich food award
in 2001 for his innovative writing. Product Details: Paperback Genre:
