Farangi Girl - Ashley Dartnell - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Farangi Girl - Ashley Dartnell - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Ashley Dartnell''s mother was a glamorous American, her father a dashing Englishman, each trying to slough off their past and upgrade to a more romantic and exotic present in Iran. As the story starts, Ashley is eight years old and living in Tehran in the 1960s: the Shah was in power, life for Westerners was rich and privileged. But somehow it didn''t all add up to a fairytale. There were bankruptcies and prisons, betrayals and lovers, lies and evasions. And throughout it all, Ashley''s passionate and strong-willed mother, Genie. Stories of mothers and daughters are some of the most compelling in contemporary memoir, from The Liar''s Club and The Glass Castle to Don''t Let''s Go to the Dogs Tonight and Bad Blood . Farangi Girl deserves to be in their company. It''s an honest and endlessly recognisable portrait of a mother by a daughter who loved her (and was loved in return). Against this extraordinary background, Ashley''s journey into adulthood was more helter-skelter than most and this portrait of a bewitching and endlessly inventive mother is surprising and deeply moving.

Negotiation Skills In A Week - Peter Fleming - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Negotiation Skills In A Week - Peter Fleming - Bog - John Murray Press - Plusbog.dk

Effective negotiation skills just got easier There was a time, not that long ago, when negotiation was seen, in the main, as the province of industrial relations folk and car-sales advisers. But, no longer! Repeated financial crises have squeezed profit margins and, in some markets, discouraged buyers from making marginal purchases or continuing habitual expenditure. Managers have found themselves in the frontline of the expectation to achieve better value for money, and the starting point for this is to shop around and explore the offers made by new suppliers, and/or to negotiate better deals with existing suppliers. Even if your job doesn''t involve negotiation, then you might still be an active negotiator when replacing your car, moving house or even selling last season''s wardrobe! The truth is that being a good negotiator has become a life skill, enabling those who are good at it not just to save money, but also to upgrade their computer, television or lawnmower with little or no increase in outgoings - and enhancing their reputation in the process. Becoming an effective negotiator is certainly within the scope of the majority of people. At its simplest, it involves thinking out what you want, planning how you''d like to get it and developing your powers of persuasion to convince other people that you are simply being reasonable. This book will help you to plan to become a better negotiator through being better prepared for meetings, planning clear and realistic objectives for a negotiation, maintaining concentration and making logical proposals that create agreement in the other party. - Sunday: Creating the right environment - Monday: Researching your objectives - Tuesday: People and places - Wednesday: Breaking the ice - Thursday: The agenda - Friday: Concluding - Saturday: Learning from your experiences

First, Savvy passes out during hot yoga. Then it turns out that the contractor she hires is the same sexy stranger she unintentionally offended by judging based on appearances.
