An advocate of Confucian morality, Mencius exhorted ruling through virtue during the Warring States, when sundry ideas of effectual governance prospered. Like Confucius had done two centuries before him, Mencius wandered from state to state, lobbying sovereigns. Mencian virtue politics has been pivotal to political thinking in China, though most appealing, it may be argued, to scholars. From Mencius, Mingyuan Hu selects and translates four dialogues exemplary of this thinking. This book is part of the Erstwhile Series. Autorid: Mingyuan Mencius, Hu, Hu

'The Buddha was the source. Venerable Svasti and the young buffalo boys were rivers that flowed from the source. Wherever the rivers flowed, the Buddha would be there.' In Old Path White Clouds, scholar, poet and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh retells the story of the Buddha in his own inimitably beautiful style. He draws upon Pali, Sanskrit and Chinese sources to trace the Buddha's life slowly and gently through the course of eighty years. Seen partly through the eyes of the Buddha himself and partly through those of Svasti, the buffalo boy, Old Path White Clouds brings the Buddha closer to us as we journey with him on his path to enlightenment and nirvana.
What is the brand strategy Apple, Starbucks, and other market leaders have mastered for decades, yet never name? Its not differentiation. Its not purpose. Its something far more powerful, and in todays hyper-competitive business world, its the only strategy that consistently wins. Its called De-Positioning, a method that turns your competitors strengths into liabilities while positioning your brand as the only solution your customer truly trusts. De-Positioning works by identifying the most critical problem your customer needs solved, exposing how your competitors fail to solve it, and making your brand the clear, inevitable choice. When applied with discipline, it renders competitors irrelevant. In this book, brand strategy veteran Todd Irwin shares the exact process hes used to help Fortune 500 giants and disruptive VC-backed startups dominate their markets. He explains why being different no longer works, how to uncover your markets Hero Pain Point, and how to build an unshakable competitive advantage rooted in hard strategy, not hype. Drawing on three decades in the trenches and case studies from brands like Apple, Volvo, and Zoom, Irwin shows how De-Positioning becomes the unifying force behind every decision, message, and customer interaction. This is not a marketing gimmick. Its a battle-tested, repeatable system for building a brand so ultra-relevant and trusted that your competitors fade into the background. If youre ready to stop fighting for attention and start dominating your market, this is your brand strategy playbook. Autorid: Todd Irwin
Deidre is a victim, of her family, her society, her history. That is how she sees herself, and so she feels free of all obligations, moral and practical. Until the police take her back to her family home... In a Cape Town where water is rationed and has to be collected from trucks each day, with the consequences of apartheid and the ending of it still evident, Deidre lives from day to day in squalor - largely created by herself - borrowing, persuading, cadging her way from the water trucks to the bar, testing the tolerance and pity of everyone she knows. Then she is contacted by the police, and taken by a respectful constable to the house where she grew up and where she lost her leg in a shattering explosion while still young. Faced with what is found there, she has to accept the truth of her past, and of her older brother, her parents' golden boy. Then she must confront herself and her responsibility, and what it truly is to be a victim. Autorid: Karen Jennings
Cùil: Scots Gaelic n. Nook, nest or corner Cafe Cùil faces the sea just outside stunning Carbost in the Isle of Skye. In this idyllic setting, award-winning chef Clare Coghill celebrates Highland produce, reimagines traditional Scottish dishes and puts a Hebridean twist on some global ones - think tattie scone tacos, langoustine and whisky bisque, Highland shakshuka, seaweed sauerkraut and Bloody Mhairi. The Cafe Cùil story began when Clare entered the Channel 4 series, My Kitchen Rules with an old friend in 2017. When they won, she started thinking that cooking might not be just a thing she did for fun, and in 2019 she opened the first Cafe Cùil in Hackney. It quickly became a hotspot for brunch lovers around London, until the covid lockdown forced a move home to Skye. So welcome to the Cafe Cùil Cookbook. This isnt a book that demands fancy techniques, instead it shows how easy it can be to cook delicious dishes without taking things too seriously, using many of the ingredients we have on our doorstep, whether youre in Skye or Dalston.

Jacqueline Duncan founded the Inchbald School of Interior Design in 1960, and the Inchbald School of Garden Design in 1972. War-time experiences as a young evacuee living in grand English country houses kindled her fascination with buildings and gardens before she met and married Michael Inchbald, a leading interior decorator. Britain had no equivalent of the Parsons School of Design in the USA, so Jacqueline Duncan became determined to establish a school in London. An important component of Inchbald courses is interior design history, which Jacqueline Duncan outlines, explaining how the profession developed out of associated trades and gift ed amateurism. Many distinguished interior designers and garden designers are Inchbald graduates. Examples of their work are included in an appendix. Autorid: Jacqueline Duncan
