BASIC INSTINCTS "Lunn has assembled wonderful evidence of irrational economic behaviour for his contention that economics, as currently understood, simply does not explain the economy … [Basic Instincts] is a hugely enjoyable string of pearls … Read this book for the gems and the pleasing prose style” – review in The Mail on Sunday. “In his lucid, radical and entertaining book, Pete Lunn makes a compelling argument that the most basic, and therefore, least examined assumptions of economics are utterly at odds with the evidence of how we actually make choices … This is an important book that both popularises and teases out the implications of an emerging revolution in thought” – review in The Irish Times. Daily Telegraph online reading and interview with
Pete Lunn. |

SIMPLY A
GREAT MANAGER "Mike Hoyle’s and Peter Newman’s book Simply a Great Manager is the first work on management that this reviewer has read cover-to-cover in one sitting … Three and a half hours of superb advice written with great clarity, which a business coach would be unable to match in a week of counselling … It is highly recommended reading for managers at every level” – review in Professional Manager magazine. " `Keep it simple’ is the main message of this practical read. Hoyle and Newman set out 15 principles or `virtues’ of great managers, which may seem straightforward but can be very effective when put into practice…I wish I’d read this when I started out in management. For anyone in a management role, including well seasoned managers, this book is worth studying” – review in Edge magazine. |

THE APE IN
THE CORNER OFFICE "Science writer Conniff has spent years studying wildlife in its natural environment. In the tradition of the British zoologist Desmond Morris, Conniff has put his observational skills to work at work. He considers hierarchies, leadership styles, communication and the rest in the context of our primate origins … Maybe it’s time to take another look at the hairy and not-so-hairy colleagues who surround you. After reading Conniff’s provocative analysis, you’ll never look at them in quite the same way” – review in Management Today magazine. “ We know our place in the office pecking order and fear the big ape who gets to decide who makes top banana in our team. But are there lessons and strategies we can learn from the animal world that could help us to come out on top? That’s the question that Richard Conniff sets out to address in his new book, The Ape in the Corner Office. Following the tradition of Desmond Morris and his influential Naked Ape, Conniff sets out to take lessons learned from animal behaviour and apply them to our workplace. And the result is a quirky, thought-provoking and entertaining guide to surviving and thriving in the workplace jungle” – feature in the Irish Independent.
