This book is an examination of the modern history of the office. It is an unusual approach in that the book tackles the history from the perspective of the office as real estate and its position within the evolving office economy (aka the service sector). It is the relationship between the built space and the activities that it accommodates, which provides the raw material for the book. Our own understanding of the role of the office in cities and the modern economy, the people who design, build and own them, the organisations that occupy and manage them and the nature of the space itself, are the areas that are tackled. In doing so, the book provides an insight into the otherwise relatively little-known world of commercial property - its actors, its processes, its products and its customers. *Highly informative *Good blend of technical insight and social/historical context *Provides a context to day-to-day decision making *Novel idea and takes an unusual perspective *Takes a systemic approach to a market and an industry that have not been examined in this way before.

UNEXPOSED FILM is about life in the movies as those who live it know it. It takes you where no book about the movies ever has: into the barrooms and base camps, into the marital bedrooms and extra-marital temptations, into the hearts and minds of those who dedicate their lives to bringing motion pictures to theatres. Part travel book, part memoir, part movie history, UNEXPOSED FILM follows a film crew vagabond on five movies, three continents and one marriage with two children across the wide range of souls and shores a film production touches.

Former Gloucestershire Media Sports Writer of the Year Rob Harris has been playing village cricket for almost 40 years. In inner cities some kids join street gangs in search of respect, but in Rob's childhood the gangs were village cricket clubs and the weapon of choice was a Gunn & Moore bat. Won't You Dance for Virat Kohli? is an honest, funny and colourful account of sporting obsession and how a childhood passion for cricket can dominate grown-up thoughts, dreams, relationships - and weekends. This is the story of one humble club cricketer's misguided search for personal respect and fulfilment in the strangest of places, foregoing holidays and family time to spend long summer days lounging around village greens with other screwed-up 'weekend warriors', whilst secretly wishing he was somewhere - anywhere - else. It is a book that will resonate with anyone who knows and loves grass-roots cricket.
