Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, corners very slightly rubbed, price clipped, no inscriptions, internally clean, tight and squareish, overall a vg copy. 258pp. Nick Hunt, who previously set off across Europe in the footsets of Paddy Leigh Fermor, sets off on an unlikely quest: to follow four of Europe's winds across the continent. His wind walks begin on Cross Fell, the highest point of the Pennines, as he chases the roaring Helm, the only named wind in Britain. In southern Europe he follows the Bora, a bitter northerly that blows from Trieste through Slovenia and down the Croatian coast. His hunt for the 'snow eating' Foehn becomes a meandering journey of exhilaration and despair through the Alpine valleys of Switzerland, and his final walk traces an ancient pilgrims' path in the south of France on the trail of the Mistral, the 'wind of madness' which animated and tormented Vincent Van Gogh. These are journeys into wild wind, but also into wild landscapes and the people who inhabit them, a cast of meteorologists, storm chasers, mountain men, eccentric wind enthusiasts, sailors and shepherds. Soon Nick finds himself borne along by the very forces he is pursuing, through rain, blizzards, howling gales, and back through time itself. For, where the wild winds are, there are also myths and legends, history and hearsay, science and superstition and occasionally remote mountain cabins packed with pickles, cured meats and homemade alcohol.

Hardback octavo, dustjacket, very good condition (in very good dustjacket), minor edgewear. 233 pp. Why do some international managers succeed while nearly half of their U.S. counterparts fail? According to insider Elisabeth Marx, the answer is culture shock -- the failure to adjust to people with different motivations, behaviors, and ways of making decisions. Whether working as part of a cross-functional team in cyberspace or on long-term assignment in another country, Marx draws on her own consulting and research work, and on interviews with such international business leaders as Peter Job of Reuters, to show just what it takes to create a successful experience working internationally.…

Some minuscule edge wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, spine uncreased, price on back cover (£10.00), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy.330pp, illustrated. In 1933, the eighteen year old Patrick Leigh Fermor (1915-2011), set out in a pair of hobnailed boots to chance and charm his way across Europe, like a tramp, a pilgrim or a wandering scholar. The books he later wrote about this walk 'A Time of Gifts', 'Between the Woods and the Water' and the posthumous 'The Broken Road' are a half remembered, half reimagined journey through cultures now extinct, landscapes irrevocably altered by the traumas of the twentieth century. Aged eighteen, Nick Hunt read 'A Time of Gifts' and dreamed of following in Paddy's footsteps. In 2011 he began his own great trudge, on foot all the way to Istanbul. He walked across Europe through eight countries, following two major rivers and crossing three mountain ranges. Using Fermor's books as his only travel guide, he trekked some 2500 miles through Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey. His aim? To have an old fashioned adventure. To slow down and linger in a world where we pass by so much, so fast. To discover for himself what remained of hospitality, kindness to strangers, freedom, wildness, adventure, the mysterious, the unknown, the deeper currents of myth and story that still flow beneath Europe's surface.
