From the Author My name's Dan and I wrote some of the stuff in the innocent drinks recipe book "Little Book of Drinks". But before we tell you all about the book, perhaps we should tell you about who we are. innocent began in 1999, when my friends Adam, Jon and Rich got a bit bored of the jobs that they were doing . The three of them realised that they were leading unhealthy lives, always working late and eating rubbish food when they got home, and they watched lots of telly too. The crunch came when they finally decided to put up or shut up - they'd been talking about starting a business for years, and now was the time for action. They bought 500 worth of fruit, crushed it all up to make smoothies and sold them from a stall at a little music festival in London. Above the stall was a big sign saying 'Do you think we should give up our jobs to make these smoothies?' and put out a bin saying 'YES' and a bin saying 'NO'. At the end of the weekend the 'YES' bin was so full so they went in the next day and resigned. Switch to today, and innocent has got a bit bigger. There now 20 odd people working at Fruit Towers, and we sell our smoothies and yoghurt thickies all over the UK and Ireland. We've got a nice kitchen where Lucy makes up new recipes with all manner of fruit and veg, and we thought it would be nice to collect these recipes together, write a few words, take some pictures, draw some cartoons and put them all into a book. It took quite a long time, because we're quite fussy people. We were fussy about the photos, pernickity about the words and fastidious when it came to the recipes themselves. We made all of the drinks a million times, and then we asked a professional foodie to test them a million more times. Eventually we had a big list of drinks, so had to work out how to divide them up into sections. We ended up having sections for Work, Rest and Play. The Work drinks are very healthy blends, designed to make you feel human at inhuman times i.e. 9.30am on Monday, whilst the Rest recipes will have you purring in delight after a long Saturday lie-in. The Play recipes up the ante by adding a little alcohol to the equation, but all of the cocktails use absolutely fresh juices as well, meaning that you'll be doing yourself some good whilst impressing your friends with your breakdancing skills. None of the drinks require superhuman powers in the kitchen - the bottom line with all of our recipes is that they should taste good and do you good. - .

Used; Like New /Used; Like New . Ron Paul draws on American history, economics, and fascinating stories from his own long political life to argue that the Fed is both corrupt and unconstitutional. It is inflating currency today at nearly a Weimar or Zimbabwe level, a practice that threatens to put us into an inflationary depression where $100 bills are worthless. What most people don"t realize is that the Fed -- created by the Morgans and Rockefellers at a private club off the coast of Georgia -- is actually working against their own personal interests. Congressman Paul"s urgent appeal to all citizens and officials tells us where we went wrong and what we need to do fix America"s economic policy for future generations., Grand Central Publishing, 2009-09-16, 5, New York: Nation Books, 2013.

From the publisher: In Dirty Wars, Jeremy Scahill, author of the New York Times bestseller Blackwater, takes us inside Americas new covert wars. The foot soldiers in these battles operate globally and inside the United States with orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down, capture or kill individuals designated by the president as enemies. Drawn from the ranks of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force, former Blackwater and other private security contractors, the CIAs Special Activities Division and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), these elite soldiers operate worldwide, with thousands of secret commandos working in more than one hundred countries. Funded through black budgets, Special Operations Forces conduct missions in denied areas, engage in targeted killings, snatch and grab individuals and direct drone, AC-130 and cruise missile strikes. While the Bush administration deployed these ghost militias, President Barack Obama has expanded their operations and given them new scope and legitimacy. Dirty Wars follows the consequences of the declaration that the world is a battlefield, as Scahill uncovers the most important foreign policy story of our time. From Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond, Scahill reports from the frontlines in this high-stakes investigation and explores the depths of Americas global killing machine. He goes beneath the surface of these covert wars, conducted in the shadows, outside the range of the press, without effective congressional oversight or public debate. And, based on unprecedented access, Scahill tells the chilling story of an American citizen marked for assassination by his own government. As US leaders draw the country deeper into conflicts across the globe, setting the world stage for enormous destabilization and blowback, Americans are not only at greater riskwe are changing as a nation. Scahill unmasks the shadow warriors who prosecute these secret wars and puts a human face on the casualties of unaccountable violence that is now official policy: victims of night raids, secret prisons, cruise missile attacks and drone strikes, and whole classes of people branded as suspected militants. Through his brave reporting, Scahill exposes the true nature of the dirty wars the United States government struggles to keep hidden., Nation Books, 2013, 0, V & S Publishers. Softcover. New.

Fourteen page center section of color photographs primarily of anthropologists at work. Lucy's Child is the story of a discovery. In 1986 Donald Johanson. who forced a major reinterpretation of the early stages of human evolution by finding the famous Lucy skeleton. returns to search for fossils in Africa for the first time in a decade. His destination is Olduvai Gorge. a dusty ravine in Tanzania first put on the paleoanthropological map by Louis and Mary Leakey. Many of Johanson's colleagues warn Johanson that Olduvai's trove of fossils has long since been exhausted. But he is not in a position to turn the invitation down. Since the late 1970s the government of Ethiopia has virtually closed off the phenomenally rich fossil beds within its borders where Lucy was found. Meanwhile Johanson and his brilliant prickly colleague Tim White have become personae non gratae with Mary Leakey and her son who control access to all digging sites in nearby Kenya. Olduvai, exhausted or not. may be the last hope left for Johanson. Only three days after establishing camp something wildly almost absurdly fortuitous occurs. In the late afternoon. the survey team led by Johanson and White finds a piece of a two-million-year-old elbow lying on a gentle slope beside the main road through the Gorge. Next an upper jawbone turns up, giving irrefutable evidence that the specimen is a member of the human ancestral family. Lucy's Child is the firsthand account of a discovery that generates some surprising new insights into our beginnings. But the book is also the story of a science coming of age and a new kind of paleoanthropology that has been emerging. The science is charged by ego and rivalry but its practitioners have begun to apply rigorous self-questioning methods and prob- ing of hard evidence that yield real knowledge about our origins. The book asks the same questions that have puzzled scientists since Darwin: What made us human? When did we first walk upright? Why did we develop such astonishing mental powers? How different are we from the rest of creation? But it approaches these questions from a variety of new directions, incorporating techniques in studies of primates and new insights into the relationship of ancient man to his environment. What Johanson did not foresee was the discovery of a new hominid skeleton, doubly fortunate for his new book, Lucy's Child since the find was made while science writer James Shreeve was at Olduvai interviewing scientists and collecting impressions. Lucy's Child should appeal to anyone with an interest in the mysteries of the deep human past. . Assumed First Edtion. Hard Back. Very Good.

Paperback. Of the four recent English-language Homeric Hymns translations I found Michael Crudden's OUP work the most thorough introduction, both in terms of attention to textual detail and general airing of backstories for those not so much in the know.\r\n\r\nTo begin, his introduction places the hymns firmly within their context, following the epic poems of Homer and Hesiod, preceding the more definitely literary works of the 5th and 4th centuries BC. He gives a brief sketch of the Hymns structural coherence, a legacy of their epic ancestors, before going on to summarise the four major Hymns themselves (those to Demeter, Aphrodite, Apollo and Hermes) and is happy enough leaving subtleties to the very full explanatory notes and glossary at the back. The select bibliography, whilst including all the important references I've used, are mostly obscure journal articles and there is not nearly enough of the general interest reference so helpful in the Rayor (2004) edition.\r\nThe poems themselves have been translated into fixed hexameter verse, which Crudden justifies saying, "...certain words and expression were not available to the Greek poets due to the unyielding demands of their metres, and verse translators should operate under similar constraints." For some, this works; read the Bryn Mawr Classical Review for this edition and you'll find the remark, "The author's strength is in the sheer beauty of his translation", yet for me clarity of sense and evocation is worth more and Crudden fails here in comparison to Cashford's (2003) free verse. Consider here a detail from Hymn 21 to Apollo:\r\n\r\nCashford:\t`And it is of you \r\n\t\t The poet sings,\r\n Speaking sweetly\r\n To his clear-voiced lyre.\r\n\r\n At the beginning\r\n\t\t And at the end\r\n\r\n\t\t It is always of you.'\r\n\r\nCrudden:\t`\t\t...and of you\r\n The sweet bard with clear sounding lyre\r\n\t\tSings ever both first and last.'\r\n\r\nAnd again in Hymn 5 to Aphrodite:\r\n\r\nCashford:\t'She felt joy in her heart to see them\r\n\t\t and she filled their hearts with longing\r\n\t\t so that they all went in twos\r\n\t\t into the shade of the valleys\r\n\t\t and made love with each other.'\r\n\r\nCrudden:\t'Delighted at heart by the sight, she put in their breasts\r\n\t\t\tdesire,\r\n\t\tAnd all together they mated in pairs through the shadowy\r\n\t\t\tvales.'\r\n\r\nFinally though, in the words of the BMCR, "The line between padding and fluency is hard to draw and comes down to a matter of taste: some like their Budweiser, others Newcastle Brown Ale or even Guinness." At times, Crudden is as crisp and manufactured as a super-chilled lager, and as difficult to swallow; prefer your belly warmed by something smoother and more natural, then this edition isn't for you.\r\nIts strengths, fittingly, lie in the detailed dissection of the hymns. Crudden manages to find 14 pages worth of notes for the Hymn to Hermes alone, pulling structural motifs and finer mythological tangles out into the light for us sadly uneducated duffs. He relies heavily on the analytical works of Sowa (1984) and Clay (1989) and these are both well referenced throughout; in fact, Crudden's explanatory notes are analyses in miniature in comparison to Cashford's, whose notes share more with Cruddens glossary.\r\n\r\nWhilst claiming no intention of a critical edition, this book offers a highly intelligent account of the Homeric Hymns and the reader will come away with a greater sense of Greek mythology and the hymns' relevant context. Buy it with Cashford aswell though, the two are complementary in terms of their stated objectives, and what is lost in one you'll find in the other., OUP Oxford, 0, Kogan Page Limited/Viva Books, 2011.

Business history littered with scandals that have put the spotlight on corporate governance – Robert Maxwell, Barings and Andersen on one side of the Atlantic, Enron and WorldCom on the other. More recently, the global financial crisis brought about by the credit crunch has highlighted others. Yet again, directors and regulators and those involved in partnerships, family-owned business and not-for-profit organisations, together with stakeholders in the many different forms of enterprises, are asking: What is the role of a director? Should there be more, less or better regulation? How should remuneration of executives be set? To whom should directors be accountable? Good governance is crucial to the well-being of organisations of every type and size. It is integral to management, and should be seen not as an obstacle but as an opportunity to work better, in the interests of everyone involved. It is something that should be deeply embedded in an organisation’s culture, guiding principles and behaviour – simply sticking to the rules is not enough. Rupert Merson, formerly a partner at BDO LLP, teaches at London Business School and has advised a wide range of entrepreneurs, organisations and partnerships. Drawing on his many years of experience and an in-depth understanding of the issues, Rules Are Not Enough is a lively, well-argued and practical guide to corporate governance and how to make it work in the real world.

Widely regarded as one of America's greatest historians, Dodge's work on Napoleon's invasion of Russia in 1812 is without parallel for scholarship or psychological sophistication. Beginning with Napoleon's doomed march on Russia, Dodge examines Napoleon's state of mind and the factors behind his decisions using personal letters and genuine reports. How could Napoleon, a proficient strategist, have led his army into such an atrocious situation and underestimated the severity of the Russian winter? In one of the most imposing invasions ever attempted - Napoleon could draw upon 600,000 men and 250,000 horses - the Grande Armée's success seemed inevitable. Few could imagine that only 100,000 would reach Moscow and all without having achieved the decisive battle that Napoleon sought. Dodge sheds new light on Napoleon's character as a soldier by focusing on his personal matters and behaviour, putting aside his politcial concerns. The narrative provides the perfect introduction for those who want to learn more about Napoleon and the disastrous winter of 1812, as well as for the more seasoned Napoleonic scholar. . Hard Cover.
