Wisden On India
£19.20
Throughout its long & distinguished history Wisden has reported on Indian cricket around the world & commented on its highs & lows. One of the first references to a touring Indian cricket side was in 1889: ' Perhaps the most notable feature of the tour was the wonderfully successful bowing of Mr Pavri who took 170 wickets at a cost of under 12 runs each'. For a time India enjoyed a golden age of cricket largely through Lord Hawke's tours in the 1890s & then buoyed up by the exploits of Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji who was chosen as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1897. But there were set-backs to come such as the team's 1953 ' Worst Start in Test Cricket' which saw Trueman scythe through their top order at Headingley to leave the team in disrepair at 0 for 4 wickets after 14 balls. Recent decades have seen formidable players such as Ganguly Laxman Sehway Dravid & Tendulkar lift India's game to great heights making them a force to be reckoned with. This anthology charts the progress of India through Wisden's pages using match reports articles notes obituaries & illustrations to bring this extraordinary team
- & their equally extraordinary nation
- to vivid & delightful life.

Wisdom Jesus
£11.39
If you put aside what you think you know about Jesus & approach the Gospels as though for the first time something remarkable happens: Jesus emerges as a teacher of radical wisdom & compassion whose aim is nothing less than the transformation of human consciousness. His methods are as bold & surprising as a Zen masters. & his aim is to break through our habitual thinking & to effect a complete conversion of our minds & hearts. Cynthia Bourgeault is our guide to rediscovering Jesus as a wisdom master in the tradition of the Buddha & other teachers. She looks to the Gospels to contemplative experience & to recently discovered ancient Christian documents (such as the Nag Hammadi scriptures & the Gospel of Thomas) to reveal a fresh new understanding of Jesus & his teaching. What Jesus experienced she says was a profound understanding of nonduality-the essential oneness of all things-and his aim was to transmit this truth to others experientially. She provides instruction in simple practices from the Christian contemplative tradition that leads to the kind of transformation Jesus taught. These include Centering Prayer a form of Christian meditation & Lectio Divina: Divine reading " a meditative practice unique to Christianity that intersperses slow & deliberate reading of a text with silence contemplation & prayer." ...

Wisdom Of Bees
£6.89
It seemed to me that the bees were working on the very same kinds of problems we are trying to solve. How can large diverse groups work together harmoniously & productively? Perhaps we could take what the bees do so well & apply it to our institutions. When Michael OMalley first took up beekeeping he thought it would be a nice hobby to share with his son. But he noticed that bees not only work together to achieve a common goal but in the process create a remarkably productive organization like a miniature but incredibly successful business. OMalley also realized that bees can teach managers a lot identifying 25 powerful insights such as: Distribute authority
- the queen bee delegates relentlessly & worker bees make daily decisions; Keep it simple
- bees exchange only relevant information; & Protect the future
- when a lucrative vein of nectar is discovered the entire colony doesnt rush off to mine it. Blending practical advice with interesting facts about the hive The Wisdom of Bees" is a useful & entertaining guide for any manager looking to get the most out of his or her organization."

Wisdom Of Crowds
£7.19
In this landmark work NEW YORKER columnist James Surowiecki explores a seemingly counter-intuitive idea that has profound implications. Decisions taken by a large group even if the individuals within the group arent smart are always better than decisions made by small numbers of experts. This seemingly simply notion has endless & major ramifications for how businesses operate how knowledge is advanced how economies are (or should be) organised & how nation-states fare. With great erudition Surowiecki ranges across the disciplines of psychology economics statistics & history to show just how this principle operates in the real world. Along the way Surowiecki asks a number of intriguing questions about a subject few of us actually understand
- economics. What are prices? How does money work? Why do we have corporations? Does advertising work? His answers rendered in a delightfully clear prose demystify daunting prospects. As Surowiecki writes: The hero of this book is in a curious sense an idea a hero whose story ends up shedding dramatic new light on the landscapes of business politics & society.
