A cliche it may be but we are living in ever more turbulent times. Business decision-making has become more challenging and unpredictable than ever: we experience unforeseen and often cataclysmic changes in consumer demand, both at home and in export markets; customers continue to demand more, more quickly and for less; new laws and regulations abound; competitors steal loyal customers; and, increasingly, a call centre has replaced the advice that once could be found from a Small Business Adviser. This book provides all the information that a Small Business owner, director or manager wi

The history of European Islamic piracy in the 17th Century. From the 16th to the 19th century, Moslem Corsairs from the Barbary Coast ravaged European shipping operations and enslaved many thousands of unlucky captives. During this period, however, thousands of Europeans also converted to Islam and joined the pirate holy war. Were these men and women the scum of the seas, apostates, traitors -- Renegadoes? Or did they abandon and betray Christendom as a praxis of social resistance? The author focuses on the Corsairs’ most impressive accomplishment, the establishment of independent Pira

Folklore/ Mythology. The Rig Veda, written in India about 1500 BC, praises a holy plant called Soma, which, when consumed, grants the drinker an experience of enlightenment and ecstasy. In PLOUGHING THE CLOUDS, Peter Lamborn Wilson investigates the possibility of a Soma cult in ancient Ireland, tracing clues in Irish (and other Celtic) lore. By comparing Celtic folktales, romances, epics and topographic lore with the Rig Veda, he uncovers the Irish branch of the great Indo-European tradition of psychedelic shamanism, and even reconstructs some of its secret rituals. He uses this comparitive ma
