Årets stora humorbok! Nu har han gjort det igen! David Batra har för fjärde gången helt skamlöst låtit andra producera en bok åt sig. Vi är många som har skrattat åt hans hejdlöst roliga böcker med svenska folkets arga lappar och insändare. Den här gången ger sig ”författaren” på det kanske svenskaste som finns – våra Blocketannonser. David har alltid fascinerats av roliga annonser och han älskar att utforska svenskarnas kommunikation med sin omvärld. Så att göra en djupdykning i Blockets annonsarkiv kändes givet. Resultatet är en närgången studie av den svenska folksjälen. Hur ser våra hem ut? Vad kör vi för bilar? Vad vill vi verkligen bli av med och vilka är våra innersta drömmar? Är det möjligt att få svar på alla dessa existentiella frågor genom att bläddra i en bok med en massa tramsiga annonser på nätet? Nej, såklart inte. Men roligt blir det! Vi får titta närmare på allt från motordrivna barstolar och pansarbilar till ett fritidshus i den halländska semesteridyllen Snorrslida. Allt går som bekant att sälja och svenska folkets kreativitet ser inga gränser. En oöppnad kaffeburk från 1977, urin från en brunstig vildsvinssugga och en samling bilder på tv-profilen Andre Pops är bara några av alla nyttoprodukter som är med i boken. Gevär säljes p g a dödsfall  är fullmatad med de roligaste, konstigaste och sjukaste Blocketannonserna som publicerats. Tillsammans med komikerns träffsäkra kommentarer och betraktelser blir det här årets stora humorbok. "Rasande roligt - David Batra har gjort det igen! Förvånad? Nej, inte jag i alla fall. David Batra kan konsten att roa och nu har han hittat på ett nytt knep... Läs och skratta!" Allas Bästa böckerna just nu... Skulle ni kunna tänka er att köpa en träskulptur av Zlatan när han gör en klackspalt i naturlig storlek? Eller en noshörning i glasfiber – också i naturlig storlek? David Batra har ägnat sig åt att lusläsa annonser på Blocket och de ger en fascinerande inblick i svenska folkets drömmar och fantasieggande projekt." Aftonbladet "Det är mycket i boken som är roligt, rent häpnadsväckande, oavsett om det är i kategorin konstig sak säljes, extremt felstavad annonstext eller brutalärlig säljare... David Batra drar sig inte för att märka ord och gör små kluriga funderingar kring vissa av inläggen och visst undrar man rätt ofta hur det är ställt, hur svårt det egentligen kan vara att göra en annons och hur många av de riktigt klantiga som är klantiga på riktigt och vilka som är klantiga med flit för att få mer uppmärksamhet - eller? Riktigt kul är det ändå..." Filipstads Tidning "En mycket underhållande bok!" BTJ "David Batra som tidigare kopierat folks arga lappar och gjort böcker av dem har nu samlat svenska folkets bästa/värsta Blocket-annonser i en bok. Lättläst och roligt." Moore

A former senior Chinese Administrative Officer has at long last lifted another corner of the veil of half-truths which have shrouded many of the decisions taken under the long governorship of Sir Murray MacLehose. David T. K. Wong -- who started working life as a dishwasher in a Chinese restaurant at the age of 13 before becoming a journalist, teacher, bureaucrat, businessman, and then a writer of short stories and novels -- has turned his narrative skills to producing a pungent, cerebral and revelatory insider memoir of his experiences in the upper reaches of the colonial administration during the 1970s. He constantly struggled with a three-horned dilemma: how to serve the people of Hong Kong, who paid his salary; the wider Chinese nation, from which he was culturally and emotionally inseparable; and the demands of the British crown, to which he had publicly sworn his allegiance. Hong Kong Confidential is a valuable contribution to the historical mosaic of a dynamic and paradoxical Chinese community living through turbulent times.

Never has there been so much media interest in pensions as there is currently. Never has the pensions world changed so rapidly as it has over the last few years; we have seen the introduction of a new state supplementary pension scheme, new stakeholder pensions, and a flood of companies closing their final salary schemes and replacing them with defined contribution schemes. Never have there been so many complaints about our pension system; about the state pension falling behind earnings, about the misselling of personal pensions, about the perceived poor value of annuities, and about high charges and poor investment performance. This new edition of Pension Schemes and Pension Funds in the United Kingdom provides the latest information on all the key state and private pension schemes operating in the UK, including: the basic state pension, minimum income guarantee and pension credit; the state second pension; company pension schemes; and personal and stakeholder pension schemes. It does this within the context of the long historical development of the UK pensions system since medieval times.It also examines government pensions policy over the last twenty years, in particular the reduction in state pensions and the transfer of the burden of pension provision to the funded private sector. It also examines future trends and future concerns, such as increasing longevity and the adequacy of savings for retirement when people are young and in work. As most pension schemes are funded, the author also examines the latest issues in pension funding, such as the new accounting standard FRS17, active and passive fund management, investment risk budgeting and management, global investment performance standards, short-termism and the Myners review of institutional investment. The book concludes with a proposal for the Ideal Pension Scheme.
