Anyone who has ever driven a BMW wonders why the car feels so uncannily nimble and supple. Automotive journalist David Kiley answers that question with an intriguing book that strikes just the right balance between gearhead details, behind-the-scenes corporate maneuvering and compelling story telling. Along the way, Kiley offers insight into BMWs mostly successful efforts to build its brand. While Kiley sings BMWs praises, and presents a convincing case that BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) produces the worlds best cars, he doesnt shy away from the details of the owning familys ups and downs, the companys disastrous Rover deal or the publics tepid response to its latest redesigns. We recommend this fascinating book to auto enthusiasts and to managers in any industry who aim to build a brand while staying true to their core values.

East meets West on the Patpong Road  |
« Hello my Big Big Honey » seeks to shed light on the mystery of the « romantic » relationships which can spring up between Bangkoks bar girls and their farang (foreign) sex-tourist customers, sometimes even leading to marriage. For me, however, the letters at the centre of this book were paradoxically the least interesting part of it. Unwittingly amusing at times, but flat and repetitive with their endless mantra of « I love you, I miss you, heres the money/sorry I cant send you any money », the missives from the deluded and besotted farangs to the girls they left behind quickly blend into one. The depth of their delusion becomes clear from the interviews with the girls. Money is the motor for these largely uneducated women from poor rural backgrounds who often have parents and siblings to support - and sometimes a Thai husband as well. The phenomenon they describe is fascinating, however, and the sections surrounding the letters make the book well worth reading. Walkers preface gives the background to the bar culture, Ehrlichs raunchy introduction sets the scene and Dr Yos Santasombat from Bangkok University analyses the sociological differences between prostitution east and west. The book concludes with a set of revealing interviews with bar owners (including some rather unorthodox advice on avoiding disease!) and an epilogue by Mrs Tantrakul, translator of many letters, and unofficial advisor to the girls who ponders on the future of those who do marry and leave.

This golf log & diary is an excellent find, and a must-have for all those participating in the sport. As a keen golfer, I was recommended the 2004 edition by a friend and have since bought 12 copies, as it is also the answer to all my Christmas-present problems!! Particularly love the brilliant and inspiring golf tips from all the experts-drills which will really help you improve your game, Top 100 Courses Guide, PGA Tour Schedule, and all the other extras. I would recommend this Golf Log & Diary to every golfer on the planet. Brilliant value for money.
