Product Description
This revised edition takes account of the developments in the law since the first edition was published. The book continues to cover some of the most important rules which regulate the business world, and it seeks to emphasize the role which these rules might play in the planning and execution of business activities, while pointing out that the law is only one influential factor on such activities. The four years since the first edition have seen a considerable number of important developments. Some of the more important include: the Age of Legal Capacity (Scotland) Act 1991, the Competition and Service Utilities Act 1992, the Trade Union Reform and Employment Rights Act 1993, the Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994, the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1994 and the Requirements of Writing (Scotland) Act 1995. This book is aimed at students on degree courses and all who are interested in the study of law in a modern practical setting. Chist Willett is the co-author of "Sale and Supply of Goods". Aidan O'Donnell is the co-author of "Sale and Supply of Goods" and "Employment Contracts: Managing the New Agenda", and co-editor of "Greens Business Law Bulletin". ... Read more

Excerpt: Van Morrison, OBE (born George Ivan Morrison; 31 August 1945) is a critically acclaimed Northern Irish singer and songwriter with a reputation for being stubborn and idiosyncratic. His live performances at their best are regarded as transcendental and inspired; while some of his recordings, such as the studio albums Astral Weeks and Moondance, and the live album It's Too Late to Stop Now, are widely viewed as among the greatest ever made. Known as "Van the Man" to his fans, Morrison started his professional career when, as a young teenager in the late 1950s, he played a variety of instruments including guitar, harmonica, keyboards and saxophone in a range of Irish showbands who covered the popular hits of the day before rising to prominence in the mid-1960s as the lead singer of the gritty Northern Irish R ...

What a waste!
The authors were very wise to retain their anonymity. This at least leaves some room for speculation about the specific parentage of the worst stories - in a body of work that was bad to mediocre at best. The concept may have sounded great - but the end result was a total disappointment at every level.

Interesting Concept but a Lot of Very Average Stories Within
Marc Parent has edited a collection that is an interesting and unique concept where authors have presented stories to be published that are not in their usual style.So as to avoid public expectations and criticism from hard core fans who are only satisfied with reading more or less the same thing over and over again they have kept their anonymity by not saying which of them wrote which story.Criticism of authors not producing the same old same old certainly does happen. Just read some of the tunnel vision reviews from some Harlan Coben fans of a non Myron Bolitair novels, Alex Cross fans of James Patterson novels, Dr Alan Gregory fans of Stephen White novels and even one of the authors in this collection Michael Connelly when he writes something that doesn't have Harry Bosch is often heavily criticised. So you can understand why being able to submit work in this format of the Secret Society of Demolition Writers would appeal so much to authors.

The problem for Marc Parent is that other than Connelly, Parent has really struggled to come up with anyone else that the casual reader is likely to have come across before, so therefore the whole purpose of the book really means nothing.Also the quality of some of these stories is pretty poor with not really anything happening in a few of stories meaning it is more likely some authors have just submitted work that was rejected by their publishers or they would be ashamed to put their name on.The other problem relates to the good stories like The Safe Man and Good Sport. You have no way of knowing who the author was to check out and enjoy more of their work in the future.

Overall this is a very average collection with only a few good stories.The concept is great and should be tried again, but you need more famous authors and you still need to stick to the traditional editing concept of the rejection of average stories.

the secret society of demolition writers
I was dissappointed. Many of the stories were based around sexually explicit themes. I was looking for something more imaginative than that from these authors.

We wined, dined and discussed.
My book club recently had the pleasure of discussing this fabulous collection of short stories edited by writer, Marc Parent.When he presented such famous writers as Anna Quindlen, Sebastian Junger, Aimee Bender and others with the opportunity to write anonomously and "dangerously" they jumped at the opportunity.We not only enjoyed reading and discussing the intriguing and sometimes odd stories; we also took great pleasure in being detectives by trying to figure out who wrote what. It gave us twice the enjoyment for our money.I would highly recommend this for indivivual enrichment or book club discussion. ... Read more

Excerpt:Albert Bentley "Son" Burge (4 June 1889 - 1943) was an Australian rugby union lock who played with the Souths rugby union club in Sydney and at the age of nineteen was selected for the Australian national team in two Tests against New Zealand in 1907.

Two weeks after the Wales match, Burge was part of the Australian team that faced Cardiff , and was again sent from the pitch by referee Gil Evans after 'brutally' kicking Dai Westacott while the player was prone on the ground. He switched to rugby league initially joining Newtown but then in 1911 he joined his brother Frank at Glebe . Albert was the captain of the Glebe side that lost the 1911 New South Wales Rugby League premiership final to Easts and captained the side for much of the next decade.

Product Description
"For a popular television series, Undercover Boss has an unusual knack for raising deep and weighty questions."
—Forbes

On February 7, 2010 the CBS television series Undercover Boss USA premiered to a staggering 38.6 million viewers, the largest post-Super Bowl audience for a new series and the most-watched premiere episode of any reality series in the history of television.

Now, for the first time, the bosses and employees featured on Undercover Boss share the lessons they learned as well as the formative experiences that resulted from being on the show. Show creators and executive producers Stephen Lambert and Eli Holzman reveal how they came up with the idea for the show, how they got a major network on board, and of course, how they found a dynamic, charismatic group of bosses willing to go undercover—on camera—in this thoroughly new experiment.

Featuring all-new interviews and insights with the bosses and employees of the nine businesses featured on Season 1 of the show, as well producers' notes on what you didn't see behind the scenes, this book is a must-have for fans of the show everywhere. ... Read more
