This ambitious and wide-ranging popular history is the first narrative account of the entire Near East (Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States), from the genesis of civilisation in the fourth millennium BCE until modern times. It provides an historical outline of the civilisations and cultures that dominated the region, one that has had an immense impact on the development of humankind, ever since the ancient Sumerians invented urban living and writing around 3200 BCE. Later, the Babylonians and the Assyrians built upon the Sumerian legacy. They were the world's earliest great powers, whose actions in the cradle of monotheism influenced Judaism and, eventually, Christianity and Islam. The Near East discusses the long eras of Arab, Persian and Ottoman rule, and the destabilising intervention of Western colonial powers. Cotterell's book is a timely reminder of how historical events have shaped the outlooks of various peoples, just as political turbulence in the Near East is challenging both neighbouring countries and the wider world.

Generelle lærebøker i etikk fremstår ofte som lite relevante for en utøver av et liberalt yrke som ønsker innsikt i etiske spørsmål knyttet til egen profesjon. Denne boken er skrevet spesielt for revisorstudenter og praktiserende revisorer, og hovedformålet er å bevisstgjøre leseren på etiske og moralske sider ved et handlingsvalg og på egne etiske holdninger. Den gir en lettfattelig innføring i etisk teori og morallære og beskriver analyse- og beslutningsmodeller som kan anvendes for å identifisere etiske og moralske dimensjoner ved alternative handlinger, og gjøre det enklere å treffe rasjonelle handlingsvalg. Det er lagt vekt på å illustrere stoffet med praktiske eksempler hentet fra revisors arbeidsfelt. Boken inneholder også en samling eksempler på etiske og moralske dilemmaer en revisor kan stå overfor. Noen av eksemplene er inngående analysert og drøftet. De øvrige er ment benyttet i undervisningen som diskusjonsgrunnlag. Boken inkluderer dessuten oppgaver om etikk som er gitt til eksamen på bachelorstudiet og masterstudiet. Boken beskriver også ulike opplegg som benyttes i empirisk forskning, og en del forsknings resultater knyttet til revisorers og økonomers holdninger og handlingsvalg i verdispørsmål er gjengitt og drøftet.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire is the tale of a catastrophic confrontation between fantasy and reality, embodied in the characters of Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Arthur Miller. 'I have always depended on the kindness of strangers' Fading southern belle Blanche DuBois is adrift in the modern world. When she arrives to stay with her sister Stella in a crowded, boisterous corner of New Orleans, her delusions of grandeur bring her into conflict with Stella's crude, brutish husband Stanley Kowalski. Eventually their violent collision course causes Blanche's fragile sense of identity to crumble, threatening to destroy her sanity and her one chance of happiness. Tennessee Williams's steamy and shocking landmark drama, recreated as the immortal film starring Marlon Brando, is one of the most influential plays of the twentieth century. Tennessee Williams (1911-1983) was born in Columbus, Mississippi. When his father, a travelling salesman, moved with his family to St Louis some years later, both he and his sister found it impossible to settle down to city life.He entered college during the Depression and left after a couple of years to take a clerical job in a shoe company. He stayed there for two years, spending the evenings writing. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship in 1940 for his play Battle of Angels, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1948 and 1955. Among his many other plays Penguin have published The Glass Menagerie (1944), The Rose Tattoo (1951), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), Sweet Bird of Youth (1959), The Night of the Iguana (1961), and Small Craft Warnings (1972). If you enjoyed A Streetcar Named Desire, you might like The Glass Menagerie, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
