If you work in operations, finance or marketing in any part of the public transport sector, this book was written for you. Adam Simmons provides a set of practical business planning tools aimed at developing a business in the public transport sector, primarily - railways, ferry, long distance bus/coach and air transport services. Business planning is a combination of many closely intertwined management disciplines, so chapters include advice on pricing and product strategy, marketing, linear programming, regression analysis, queuing theory and investment appraisal techniques as well as economics. All have impact on assessing changes in supply, demand, revenue and costs, so it is important to be aware of these techniques and understand how what they monitor affects the overall health of any business. Using globally sourced examples, Adam demonstrates how these methods can be applied across the industry and are relevant to more than a single country, region or city.

Anyone who likes Mac Black's "Please call me Derek" (and the rest in the series covering his grown-up adventures) will enjoy introducing younger friends and family to his new series, "Sweaty and Pals". Derek hated his nickname and now we find out how he came by it. Filled with stories about Derek's exploits with his gang in the eighties, with quirky illustrations (by Mac Black), the stories build on Derek's ability to find disasters and get himself into one mess after another.Sweaty's tales are about little kids enjoying life, before smartphones and computer games came along. Of course, it is just possible - if you are older than five - that you did all these things yourself…Mac has embraced writing for younger readers with the same quirky clean humour that permeates his YA series. From Sweaty's first day at school, we meet some of the wonderful characters who pepper the adult books, subtly dealing with issues around prejudice, being different, living with the elderly, losing parents - but in a gentle, no-nonsense way that exposes the social discrimination and values that we took for granted, in those days, but we would not accept, today. This makes these stories a perfect springboard for class discussions about daily life for children thirty years ago compared with now.

Relations and Relationships - poor Derek has far too many of both - he has a book to write - a mother he has only just met - a wife about to give birth and a poodle who hates him. Life had been so different a year and a half ago. Back then it had been a life before ET and Mom and a heap of other people interfering with his good intentions. In Mac Black's fourth Derek book the plot thickens and Derek tries to be devious as he blunders from disaster to disaster making us laugh all the way!

Finding the body of a young girl in the woods whilst musing on the frailties of human relationships (particularly those with his mistress and his wife) fails to make Peter's life less complicated.It tumbles him into a period of enforced maturity when he either has to start sorting out his life or give himself up to his sexual longings.This adult-rated book explores the complex emotional and sexual relationships between: husbands, wives and lovers against a mounting police investigation that seems to be focussing on him.

Derek has not had much success getting his first great novel started - in fact, the research it requires has nearly cost him his marriage and ruined several pairs of his wife's tights. All he needs is a better topic, maybe he should be writing non-fiction, he is a journalist, after all... As is normal for Derek, things go pretty rapidly and hilariously downhill from there!
