Join two friends on a wild penguin chase around the city. Our
self-described penguin 'expert' finds black-and-white animals at
every turn. But are any of them really penguins - and can you spot
the penguin hiding on every page? Written in Simon Philip's
distinctively witty voice, this is brilliantly funny storytelling
that plays on the pantomime convention of 'it's behind you'.
Readers will love guessing what each new animal is from the glimpse
given in the artwork, before turning the page to find out. There
are fun facts about all the animals in a fact file at the end of
the book.

Supervisors, project managers and CEOs should find this book useful
as it deals with an emerging global reality - culturally diverse
people of both genders in the workplace. The new workplace
environment demands that employees be selected, evaluated and
promoted on the basis of performance competency, regardless of sex,
race, religion or place of origin. Focusing on workplace diversity
instead of concepts of "majority" and "minority" allows managers to
offer all personnel equal opportunities. Affirmative action is now
aimed at developing human potential Diversity is becoming a
worldwide phenomenon. Written from the North American viewpoint,
this book examines the key concepts that drive American plants and
offices today which are likely to be realities overseas tomorrow,
and the concepts espoused in this book can be applied universally
The book fills a gap in management education and development. It is
a practical manual designed to teach and encourage managers to lead
and strengthen the human resources of an organization.

Perfect for fans of Jim Field and Julia Donaldson, Be More Bernard is
the brilliant story of a disco bunny who will encourage us all to chase
our dreams and embrace our differences.
When the other bunnies bounced, I bounced. When they hopped, I hopped.
When they slept, I did too. Like them, I dreamed. But MY dreams weren't
the same. They were less . . . rabbity.
?Bernard has decided that he's not going to be like all the other
bunnies any more. He's not going to twitch his nose and prick his ears.
And while others might dream of carrots, Bernard's dreams are
altogether more...disco!
He starts small, but when he finally gets to groove with grace and jive
with joy at Bertie and Brenda's Bunny Ball, Bernard shows the world
that being yourself is the very best thing a bunny can be.

From medicine and defense to food and cosmetics, biotechnological
breakthroughs are creating huge new global market opportunities as
well as unprecedented challenges. Companies from
mega-pharmaceuticals to infotech giants and biotech start-ups must
radically rethink their business models. In the first book on the
business of biotechnology, Francoise Simon and Philip Kotler
combine their biotechnology and marketing ex-pertise to show
managers how to innovate with bionetworks, win customers with
biobrands, and create sustainable advantage worldwide. Simon and
Kotler explain in clear nontechnical prose how innovation in the
new biosector will be driven by a web of cross-industry
collaborations, and in particular by three transforming forces:
information technology, consumerism, and systems biology. With
timely industry cases, the authors demonstrate that by capitalizing
on these forces, companies from Hitachi and Siemens to Amgen and
Pfizer could become the biotech leaders of the coming decades. The
chapters on building and sustaining biobrands are the centerpiece
of this indispensable book. Simon and Kotler present a powerful
framework that will enable any manager to redefine and transform
traditional models into a new branding paradigm: the global
"targeted" model as an alternative to the global "mass market"
model. The authors illustrate how each of these models has proven
successful in launching such blockbuster drugs as Viagra, Lipitor,
Rituxan, and Gleevec. Relevant to all industries impacted by
biotechnology from consumer goods to industrial products, Building
Global Biobrands is essential reading for every manager, marketer,
analyst, and consultant who must understand the Biotech Century."
