Theory Test Study & Revision Guide - Graham Chalmers - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Theory Test Study & Revision Guide - Graham Chalmers - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In a vast ocean of information, theory test candidates can often feel like they’re struggling to prepare themselves adequately. Handbooks, websites and the Highway Code all convey plenty of information, but these sources leave students completely on their own when it comes to organising this information into an effective, complete summary to study from. The Theory Test Study & Revision Guide utilises a technique that creates coherent summaries of the vast majority of information relevant to the theory test. Taking the form of ‘study patterns’, each section contains two summaries that encapsulate the essential knowledge for the candidate. Furthermore, the understanding of each topic is enhanced by seeing all of the sub-topics gathered together in a logical and informative manner. Adhering to a methodology that makes it easy to memorise the integral facts, the Theory Test Study & Revision Guide helps learner drivers unlock all the information they have absorbed in order to succeed in the test. This book will directly appeal to and aid those who are studying for their driving theory test.

Eighteen offenders convicted world-wide and sentences totalling 245 years were imposed. A total of 494 kilos of cocaine were seized in the UK with a street value of £61 million. Five trials were conducted and one of them lasted 14 months- the second longest in UK legal history.

Brexit - The Benefit of Hindsight - Peace E. Ani - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Brexit - The Benefit of Hindsight - Peace E. Ani - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Three years after the UK’s momentous EU referendum vote, multiple Brexit Secretaries and three rejected deals, the question remains: what exactly does the UK want? The UK’s financial services sector is deemed to be one of the most vulnerable to the impact of Brexit, and the consequential effect on the rest of the UK economy could be devastating. Despite benefitting from access to the Single Market, a significant proportion of the financial services industry voted ‘leave’. But rather than being driven by anti-immigration or xenophobic sentiments, research indicates it was based on a rational assessment of the cost and benefit of the EU membership, influenced by the post-crisis regulatory reform. The industry is disproportionally impacted by Brexit due to the divergence of business models within the industry, based on the relative reliance on domestic, international or European trade. Brexit – The Benefit of Hindsight analyses a number of economic indicators to answer the unanswerable question: what does the UK want? Will the UK economy suffer in the uncertainty surrounding our future or will we emerge stronger?

UK Healthcare is in Crisis - David Sellu - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

UK Healthcare is in Crisis - David Sellu - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

About 10,000 patients die unnecessarily and thousands more are harmed in other ways from healthcare mishaps every year. Many of these harms are from ingrained systemic errors but instead of fixing them, the healthcare service, including the NHS, blames and punishes individuals when things go wrong. The service is blighted by sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination and turns a blind eye to bullying and harassment by a small but significant minority. The service does not like its weaknesses and problems exposed and whistleblowers are persecuted. Our NHS is failing when compared to similar services in developed countries. Millions of people are waiting for tests or treatment, and many will die before they get to the top of this queue. For many of those who make it there, it will be too late, as their conditions will have progressed. Of course, the service is starved of investment but rectifying this alone will not suffice. We have to start by repairing the internal culture and must implement programs that enable us to learn from failures.

Who Killed Oswald Grey? - Jon Berry - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Who Killed Oswald Grey? - Jon Berry - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In November 1962, 20-year-old Oswald Augustus Grey, an immigrant from Jamaica who had been in the UK for less than two years, became the last man to be hanged in Birmingham’s Winson Green prison. There were only five further executions in the UK before capital punishment ended in 1965. His trial lasted fewer than five working days and his subsequent appeal less than an hour. There were 24 weeks between the crime and the execution. The law failed Oswald Grey. He was treated as disposable and was the victim of careless advocacy and the unchallenged racism of his times. His story has been largely forgotten: this book puts that right.

Stefan Bucovineanul-Voloseniuc – Just Imagine - Stefan Voloseniuc - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Just Imagine is the inspirational story of Stefan Voloseniuc ’s journey from a very deprived background in a remote Romanian village, to becoming a successful businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist in London. It describes the challenges he faced growing up in the closing years of Nicolae Ceausescu’s brutal, controlling, and corrupt communist Romania and the path he chose to create a new life for himself and his family. Stefan is one of approximately 7 million Romanians now living abroad, including an estimated 1.4 million in the UK, and he hopes this book may also help to inspire them and show how through hard work, dedication, and imagination it is possible to build a new life away from Romania. Just Imagine is a phrase Stefan uses every day and he passionately believes it is this positive and creative approach that has enabled a shy child from Romania to launch his own businesses, chat with King Charles III at Windsor Castle, meet the Prime Minister of the UK, become a sponsor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and create a series of successful companies that employ many hundreds of people in the UK and Romania.

Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure - Pete Elderkin - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure - Pete Elderkin - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Growing up in Peterborough, voted the ‘ worst place to live in England & the UK’ , certainly had its challenges. But a love for Nick Cave’s band and a passion for indie music launched the author, Pete Elderkin, on a series of extraordinary events while following a dream to reach that holy grail for rock groups, a BBC Radio One John Peel session. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure details the ups and downs of being in the wrong place and time while trying to DJ and run an exciting alternative music club in what seemed a hostile, provincial environment. This is a wry, self-deprecating memoir set over eleven years and telling the true story of The Sugar Club and how it, improbably, became one of the longest running nightclubs in the UK. It captures, with first-hand contributors, the fun experiences and social history of the unique 1990s and 2000s, when the Grunge and Britpop scenes came from out of nowhere to the forefront of the UK music scene. " I loved it. A beautiful, big-hearted book. Sugar, Gravy, Pleasure is a love letter to a lost time when music was at the centre of the universe." Tony Parsons, journalist, broadcaster and author.

Tragedy & Challenge - Tom Brown - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Tragedy & Challenge - Tom Brown - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Having worked within the UK engineering industry for many years and chaired 15 companies, including stock market quoted, private equity backed, and university spin offs, Tom Brown offers a unique insight into the challenges facing engineering companies, as well as the impact this has on the economy, people’s working lives, and society. Tragedy & Challenge will appeal to readers interested in economics and politics, business management, investing, and our changing society – including those who enjoyed Evan Davis’s Made in Britain and Peter Marsh’s The New Industrial Revolution. This book examines existing data on UK manufacturing in order to demonstrate how badly our engineering has fared compared with international competitors, especially Germany. The author also recounts his varied early experiences in the industry from night shift manager to Managing Director and the life-changing lessons he gained from working in a German-speaking company. Tragedy & Challenge analyses the causes of the decline in UK engineering, considering its poor leadership, original analysis of the detrimental effects of government economic policy, and the destructive influence of the City including an insider’s uninhibited view of fund managers, analysts, and private equity. Tom Brown concludes that, while some decline was inevitable due to global factors, the example of Germany shows it did not need to be nearly so precipitate; some responsibility lies with management and unions, but ultimately poor governments, the City, and decaying social attitudes were to blame, and now Brexit makes the prognosis even more daunting.

Somewhere in Europe - P J Vanston - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

After reluctantly being ‘rationalised’ from his Foreign Office job, Kevin Crump takes up a teaching position at Cambrian University, the most improved university in South Wales. There he finds a culture in which ‘Political Correctness 2.0’ is out of control, with ‘no-platforming’, intolerance of free speech, insidious anti-Semitism, gender politics in all its/her/his/their forms, ‘trigger warnings’ banning classic books so as not to offend the sensibilities of ‘snowflake’ students, and ‘positive’ discrimination and diversity drives galore. In the midst of all this, Brexit begins. When the university claims to have discovered a founding document giving it the right, with royal approval, to declare independence from Britain and continued loyalty to the EU, the vast majority of staff and students are delighted. However, things may not be quite as simple as they first seem. It is how Crump negotiates this and more which forms the basis of this entertainingly absurd and timely novel, and which will ultimately decide his future and his fate. “It’s like a cross between Catch-22 and Lucky Jim for the Brexit generation.”

Asian Auntie-Ji - Mike Curtis - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Asian Auntie-Ji - Mike Curtis - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Facing redundancy from the BBC after 20 years as a reporter and news editor, Mike Curtis got a stay of execution. His salvation found him unexpectedly in charge of setting up a newsroom for the BBC radio station broadcasting to the Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi communities across the Midlands – the Asian Network. He stayed for 14 years. Asian Auntie-ji tells how this son of an Anglican clergyman, with a love of western music, was thrown into a new world of Bollywood and bhangra, Diwali and Vaisakhi, Mirpuri and mosques, and cricket and Kashmir. The book unravels how this unique radio station dealt with many controversial issues arising from the religious and cultural sensitivities of its audience and its staff. It reflects how the Asian Network covered riots, racism and terror, but also how it gave a voice to so many British Asians; from the geographically isolated listener on the phone-in to those who achieved fame in sport and entertainment. Mike Curtis follows the story of the Asian Network, from its roots in local radio to its UK-wide expansion – and its dealings with BBC bosses. The views of its champions and its critics are reported with honesty and good humour. The Queen, the Duchess of Cornwall, Sebastian Coe, Ravi Shankar, Jay Sean, Amir Khan, Greg Dyke, Meera Syal and Shah Rukh Khan are among those sprinkled throughout the saga, along with the Asian Network’s own stars like Bobby Friction, Sonia Deol and Adil Ray. Mike Curtis describes how the team was moved around the managements of Radio 1, Radio 2 and Five Live – and how they regularly upset The Archers at Radio 4. Asian Auntie-ji is a fascinating autobiography that will appeal to an audience beyond the story of the radio station, embracing such names as Monty Python, TV’s Big Brother, Brian Blessed, Carlos Santana, Boris Johnson, Judi Dench, David Blunkett, 1950s test pilot Roly Beamont and DJ Orifice Vulgatron. Those with an interest in the media, the BBC, politics, and ethnicity and the South Asian experience in the UK will find it particularly rewarding.
