The philosophy at the heart of Bob de Wit's landmark text Strategy
is that an understanding of the topic can only be gained by
exposure to the many opposite perspectives in the field.
Recognizing that there is no simple answer to the question of 'what
is strategy', the author navigates readers through contrasting
viewpoint readings to encourage discussion and debate, and
illustrative cases to acknowledge the importance of strategy in the
world of business. Placing the student at the centre of the
strategy debates encourages the qualities of creativity,
flexibility, independence and analytical depth that are needed to
become a strategic thinker.
This guidebook to Walking in the Chilterns offers 35 of the best
walks in the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
Chiltern Hills is a peaceful walking destination of chalk hills and
ancient woodlands within easy reach of London. The walks in this
guidebook range from 4 to 12 miles and are suitable for most
walkers. The walks take you on a journey through this classic
Chiltern landscape that has been shaped by human activity for
thousands of years, visiting interesting historic sites, colourful
gardens and picture-postcard villages with thatched cottages,
fascinating churches and cosy pubs. Step-by-step route directions
include lots of information about all these sites along the way,
and are illustrated with clear OS mapping and vibrant photographs.
GPX files are available to help with navigation. There is also
information on the region's rich geology, history and plantlife, as
well as advice on accommodation, transport and refreshments. The
Chiltern Hills follow a line of chalk from the River Thames at
Goring up to the Barton Hills just west of Hitchin, boasting great
views from the north west edge and, on the south east side, a more
intimate undulating landscape of rounded hills and valleys, covered
in a mix of broadleaved woodland and open farmland. Despite its
relative proximity to London, the region abounds in peace and
tranquility, making it an idyllic destination for a day's walk in
the countryside.

When George S. Halas was asked to rebuild the Staley Company's
football club in Decatur, Illinois in 1920, nobody could have
imagined that his efforts would forever change Sunday afternoons in
America. Halas helped found the National Football League, and with
it the Chicago Bears, the most storied franchise in the league's
history. From the Galloping Ghost, to the Monsters of the Midway,
to that indomitable "46" defense -- the "Grabowskis" as their coach
named them -- Bears teams and players have made such an impact on
the city of big shoulders that Chicago will be forever known as a
"Bears town."

Run for the Love of Life is a must-read for anyone who desires to escape the day-to-day sameness of our new pandemic-informed lives, or who seeks to feel alive, inspired, and filled with a renewed enthusiasm for the year ahead.
It recounts the extraordinary journey of South African Erica Terblanche, an ordinary woman who manages to not only achieve – but excel – on the world stage of extreme distance-running in some of the most inhospitable and majestic landscapes across the planet. Raw, honest and infinitely human, this part-memoir, part-travel novel thunders through one exotic race location after the other, as the runners battle the elements and each other across the vastness of the Sahara, Atacama and Namib Deserts, the great Grand Canyon, Turkish Cappadocia and the Kalahari Desert, to name only a few.
But more than just a book on racing, what makes this novel infinitely compelling and rewarding is that in the echoes of Erica’s story, one begins to sense the pulse of one’s own potential and long-forgotten dreams. While you may laugh, cry, and forget to take a breath at times, it is inevitable that Run will spur you on to find your own bliss, that which is buried deep within your soul and body.
At its heart, Run for the love of life is a story about love, forgiveness, perseverance and growth, and about the important things in life that ultimately makes us happy. Told with wit, humour and vulnerability, it is a book that will stay with the reader long after the final page is turned.
