FERGUS CRANE! YOU ARE IN GREAT DANGER! I AM SENDING HELP.
Signed T. C., your long-lost Uncle Theo

Fergus Crane has an almost ordinary life—having lessons taught by rather odd teachers on the school ship Betty Jeanne and helping his mother in the bakery. But then a mysterious flying box appears at the window of his waterfront home and Fergus is plunged headlong into an exciting adventure! The box is followed by a winged mechanical horse that whisks him off to meet his long-lost uncle and his penguin helpers, Finn, Bill, and Jackson. Fergus finds out that his teachers are not quite what they seem— they’re actually pirates! Can Fergus and his winged horse save his schoolmates on the far-off Fire Island? And who else will he find there?.

From extending successful brands into exotic new markets to tapping talent in "virtual" teams to building ultra-complex supplier and distributor networks, today's executives and managers must consider the international implications of every decision they make. To put the magnitude of global business in context, consider that between 1820 and 1992 world population increased 5-fold, world income 40-fold, and world trade 540-fold. And in the past decade, the pace of change has only accelerated, with the Internet, for example, making connections instantaneous and ubiquitous--and global aspirations attainable for even the smallest of enterprises. Certainly, globalization has its detractors, but for today's business leaders, the issue is not to debate the merits of globalization but to learn how to thrive in the global marketplace. In Borderless Business the authors tackle every major dimension of globalization --from marketing to human resource management to supply chains to accounting and finance--and demonstrate how these issues play out in a global context. Each chapter describes the new skills and competencies that managers must master in order to lead their companies in this environment, where every management challenge is amplified. Featuring current data and dozens of case examples and applications from around the world, Borderless Business will serve as a practical handbook for executives and managers and as an indispensable text for students of international business..

Disgusted by the pantomime antics of professional wrestling which have made a mockery of his beloved sport, British journalist Marcus Trower makes it his mission to find places where real wrestling is given significance and value in a bid to give the sport back some respect. Along the way he tries to figure out where his own obsession with fighting and wrestling spring from - and, while he is at it, uncover the origins of wrestling and sports in general.

Marcus Trower's quest takes him to the earth arenas of northern India, the wrestling crazy steppes of Mongolia and to remote tribes in Nigeria where wrestlers can win wives by winning wrestling contests. In Rio De Janeiro, he investigates Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) boom, which has done much to give wrestling back some dignity in the modern world.

Ostensibly about wrestling, this book is about a lot more than a sport. Startlingly original, comic and often moving, it will introduce you to worlds you never knew existed..

This is the true account of a remarkable Irish-American family, four generations of emigration and return, from Ireland to New York and back again. It is also the story of the author's sister, the late Deirdre O'Connell, founder and artistic director of the critically acclaimed Focus Theatre in Dublin-her marriage to popular singer Luke Kelly, her successes and failures and her remarkable and long-lasting impact on theatre in Ireland. In many ways, the book tells a tale common to thousands of immigrant families who made new lives in the teeming metropolis of New York City and the Bronx between the Depression and the 1960s. It describes their ongoing struggles to walk a tightrope between two cultures-the home they left behind and the one they were creating-and brings into sharp focus the conflicts that millions of immigrants face when forced to choose between the two. At its heart the book is essentially a joyful story, one of faith and endurance, a story laced with a touch of madness and a spirit of adventure, told with love and affection. If you want a sense of Irish America and its roots and ties to Ireland, Cusack's book is compulsory reading.""-Gerry Adams.
