The story revolves around the comings & goings at No. 44 Scotland Street a fictitious building in a real street in Edinburgh. Immediately recognisable are the Edinburgh chartered surveyor stalwart of the Conservative Association who dreams of membership of Scotland's most exclusive golf club. We have the pushy Stockbridge mother & her prodigiously talented five-year-old son who is making good progress with the saxophone & with his Italian. Then there is Domenica Macdonald who is that type of Edinburgh lady who sees herself as a citizen of a broader intellectual world. In Mc Call Smith's hands such characters retain charm & novelty simultaneously arousing both mirth & empathy. 44 Scotland Street is vintage Mc Call Smith tackling issues of trust & honesty snobbery & hypocrisy love & loss but all with great lightness of touch. Clever elegant & funny this is a novel that provides huge entertainment but which is underpinned by the moral dilemmas of everyday life & the characters' struggles to resolve them. ...

There have been football books which have told their tale through the partisan heart of a besotted fan & those that have dissected their subject through the scientific mind of an objective writer. But rarely does one fuse the blind passion of a lifelong supporter with the cold eye of an award-winning journalist in the way 43 Years With The Same Bird" does. That bird is the Liver Bird & on the surface this book is a pitch-side view of the entire modern era of Britain's most successful football club. It is Brian Reade's take on the extraordinary stories behind the 48 trophies he has seen Liverpool lift since watching them en route to their first ever FA Cup win in 1965 right through to the Champions League defeat in Athens in 2007. It takes in all of the big nights that propelled the club to five European Cups three UEFA Cups twelve titles countless domestic cup triumphs bitter failures the tragic disasters in Sheffield & Brussels as well as the barren years of the late 60s & the 90s. But the book goes far deeper than that. It's about how football allowed a father who was separated from his son to forge a precious bond. How a football club can make a city that is dying on its knees keep believing in itself. How you should never as a professional get too close to your heroes. How being part of a disaster at a football match (Hillsborough) can leave you a mental wreck unwilling to carry on but how witnessing a miracle on a football pitch (Istanbul) makes you realise that no matter how low you sink you should never give in." ...

The Four Disciplines of Execution is about a simple proven formula for reaching the goals you want to reach as a business or individual. In Covey's experience the thing that most undermines the ability to execute goals is what he calls the Whirlwind: those urgent tasks that must be done simply to keep an organization alive. As Covey shows the only way to execute new important goals is to separate those goals from the Whirlwind. The Four Disciplines allow leaders to create a strategy that requires a change in behaviour since only by ensuring that everyone on the team understands the goal knows what to do to reach it & knows whether progress is being made will a leader produce consistent breakthrough results while sustaining the urgent work of the Whirlwind. The Four Disciplines of Execution are:1. Focus on the Wildly Important; 2. Act on the Lead Measures; 3. Keep a Compelling Scoreboard; 4. Create a Cadence of Accountability. For more than a decade Franklin Covey has been studying what it takes to achieve important goals & in this book they share success stories from a wide range of companies that have implemented the Four Disciplines to result in greater profits increased market share & enhanced customer satisfaction. This way of thinking is essential to any company that wants to not only weather but thrive in this economy. ...
