The End-No it isn't During the fall of 1969 Daniel Dyer stands
alone at a still point between the disappointments of his childhood
and an incredibly uncertain future. He is a boy from Yorkshire,
living in America who has been abandoned by his father and then his
mother and has signed up to fi ght with the US army in Vietnam. The
Far Out Cafe is full of characters and events: a blues singer, a
Cuban called Guerrero and another called Compay, with his head full
of conspiracy theories, 'Birdmen, ' a chapel dating back to the 2nd
century, an isolated island, a pack of marauding sharks; one of
mythical proportions, a psychotic Soviet called the Generali, a
barbaric guard called Rusanov and his syphilitic assistant, Yefrem.
This is not merely a story about the atrocities of war. It's a
story about who Daniel meets when he has been left for dead; a boy
called Angel and a girl called Beth. It's about the way we live our
lives and what happens when we place our Faith in God when things
go horribly wrong. It's a savage yet tenderly lyrical story about
an unforgiving time and indestructible love. 'I sat down, cleared
my mind, and 'The Far Out Cafe' blew it apart. It's a really great
story and it's told in such a surreal way, it messes with your head
so much, delightfully so, but what really caught me is the sense of
magic and mysticism that is woven into the story. A huge story that
has roots in an even greater and deeper meaning. The spiritual
clashed against the brutality of men is incredibly powerful. Good
to fi nally be challenged by a modern book that gives the mind a
great workout. In fi lm terms, very Stanley Kubrick' - David
Popescu - Hooligan Filmworks, Canada
The third edition of this highly successful case book has been
expanded and updated to reflect the increasing reliance upon
comprehensive case material in the teaching of operations
management. The text begins with an introduction to analysing
operations management cases. Each of the subsequent parts deals
with a key area of operations management and begins with an
expanded introduction, allowing the book to serve as a stand alone
text for introductory operations management courses.
