The Richer Way

ISBN 9780953441525  £7.99  Paperback  256 pages  107mm x 178mm  Full Colour Cover  Author: Julian Richer

A fantastic practical business book packed full of useful ideas to help businessmen and motivate their staff.

A poor performer at school, Julian Richer has built from scratch a £200m+ group of businesses. His best known company “Richer Sounds” is the biggest and most profitable hi-fi retailer in the UK with the highest sales per square foot of any retailer in the world (Guinness Book of Records 10 years running).  His advice is sought by Chief Executives of some of Europe’s biggest organisations and his ideas on staff motivation have been described by the press as “legendary”.

In this book Julian explains his original thoughts and advice which have been used successfully in companies of widely differing types and sizes.  Written from first-hand experience of running businesses, readers will find this a practical book full of useful ideas.

The Reward Society

ISBN 9780953441532  £9.99  Paperback  228 pages  210mm x 148mm  Full Colour Cover  Author: Dr. Tom Manion 

If we want a happy and healthy, wealthy, low benefit dependent, low crime, well-educated loyal nation, we need policies and programmes which promote these outcomes.
The financial sector ‘casino capitalism’ has rewarded risk over responsibility, with catastrophic consequences.
The Welfare State originally designed to mitigate the excesses of capitalism rewards mothers for staying single, traps people in dependency and makes poverty comfortable.
The Reward Society raises some uncomfortable truths and explores how can we break this cycle and improve productivity in ourselves and in our nation.

About the Author:

Dr. Tom Manion was appointed Chief Executive of Irwell Valley HA in 1997. Since then, the Association based in Manchester, England has more than trebled in size and achieved international status across Europe and the USA as a frontrunner in modern methods and innovation in business practice.
In 2003, Tom was awarded the Cabinet Office Public Servant of the Year, The Independent has identified him as one of the Top Ten Influential people in housing in the UK and he is listed in The Guardian Top Ten Innovators – ‘a charismatic pioneer’. In 2004, he collected the National Customer Services Lifetime Achievement Award.
Tom is also a recipient of the John D. Lang International Award, which recognises outstanding contribution towards international understanding and exchange of international experience in housing and community development.
Tom is a Distinguished Professional Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Housing and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

Praise for Dr Tom Manion and The Reward Society:

‘A man with vision and the ability to make it happen…important lessons for society and business alike.’ Simon Weston OBE

Good Food Good Health

Good Food Good Health provides a real lifestyle choice towards maintaining a healthy diet.
The message in this book needs to be disseminated to the public so that real change can be made to the way in which we eat on an everyday basis.
We want to make a real difference and impact on the current obesity epidemic, which has become a major problem for our society and our future generations.
In the wake of daily articles and reports on promoting a healthy lifestyle, 
Good Food Good Health represents a small effort towards encouraging healthy eating.
  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** UPDATE **
Good Food Good Health has been selected for The People's Book Prize Summer 2014/15 Collection.
It is a national competition aimed at finding, supporting * promoting new and undiscovered works. To vote and for further information please visit the website here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the book is to provide a selection of easy-to-prepare recipes for everyday cooking which are healthy, delicious and fulfilling. The book is designed to show that new flavours and recipes are not just the reserve of the top chefs and can be achieved in the home.  It allows the excitement to be put back into home cooking without the guilt of overindulgence. Children can be introduced to good hearty meals at home which are healthy and do not take up too much time to prepare. Healthy food, cooking and eating can be a regular family event and not just reserved for special occasions.
Good Food Good Health is not simply another recipe book. Every recipe has been nutritionally analysed, by consultant dieticians, to give an indication of the health status of each dish. Using the Food Standards Agency classification makes it visually easy to see the green, amber and red indicators. The breakdown of the nutritional information is conveniently provided, allowing for a visual representation of each dish. At a glance the reader can see that the majority of the recipes are green or amber. The few recipes which are red are special treats.
The book contains a personal collection of authentic recipes, tried and tested by a working mother. Amongst the many dishes from various cuisines covered in the book, there is a strong influence on tastes and flavours emanating from family recipes some of which have their origins in the Indian sub-continent.  These have been modified to reflect modern, healthy lifestyles without a compromise on taste.  The book has wide applications for the community at large and is aimed at preventative measures to reduce the incidence of obesity and its consequences, which are already rising to unprecedented proportions.  It provides valuable health benefits for those prone to heart disease and diabetes. Some of the recipes particularly address the South Asian population, who are vulnerable to these conditions as a result of traditional dietary habits. More importantly Good Food Good Health aims to influence our daily eating habits showing how traditional foods can taste equally good when prepared in a healthy way.
Good Food Good Health will appeal to:
Ø  Those looking to cook healthy balanced meals for themselves or their families
Ø  Those interested to try out new flavours and dishes
Ø  Young people starting to learn to cook for themselves
Ø  Those vulnerable or at risk of developing heart disease, hypertension or diabetes
Ø  Health professionals looking to advise their clients on healthy diets
Ø  Those wishing to control their diets without compromise on taste
or limiting their meals to ‘diet foods’
Ø  Those looking to enhance their culinary experience in a healthy well balanced way
Ø  Families wishing to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a focus on home cooked meals
