Download or read book The Second Curve written by Charles Handy and published by Random House. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain's leading guru looks to the future. Charles Handy is one of the giants of contemporary thought. His books on management – including Understanding Organizations and Gods of Management – have changed the way we view business. His work on broader issues and trends – such as Beyond Certainty – has changed the way we view society. In The Second Curve, Handy builds on a life's work to glimpse into the future and see what challenges and opportunities lie ahead. He looks at current trends in capitalism and asks whether it is a sustainable system. He explores the dangers of a society built on credit. He challenges the myth that remorseless growth is essential. He even asks whether we should rethink our roles in life – as students, parents, workers and voters – and what the aims of an ideal society of the future should be. Provocative and thoughtful as ever, he sets out the questions we all need to ask ourselves – and points us in the direction of some of the answers.

Download or read book The Light in the Glens written by Len Paterson and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1996 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the role of the puffer in Scottish maritime history, especially that of the West Coast. The study describes the evolution of the puffer from its early roots as a timber built, horse-drawn barge into the vessel which inspired Neil Munro's Para Handy tales. Through details from the records of the early companies that eventually joined forces to become Glenlight Shipping, the book tells how the puffers served the communities of Scotland's western seaboard, bringing them essential supplies, shipped mostly from the Clyde. It also tells how this trade suffered and declined as a result of declining populations, improved road transport and the advent of Ro-Ro ferries.
