A fantastic book in every way for both people who work / have worked in the city or for people on the outside who see the life in the city as one big pit of money and debauchery, in this regard the book far from discredits their view. Being a city worker myself I am privvy to alot of the tales documented and can vouch for both their validity and the basic premise of excess...
The book itself is far more rounded than simple tales of traders drinking ... ...their is a far reaching message that should make any reader look at their lives to really unearth their true motivation and existence in the modern world...
The book is like any good book totally dependent on the interpretation of the reader, it can be taken as a like hearted folly or as the spark for a transition of a deep thinkers life, that is the true beauty of what has been achieved by Geraint Anderson who writes in a comfortable style to satisfy ...

...dragged it at speed across the plains of Africa. This fantastical assemblage would scoop up everything in its way: predators, such as lions and cheetahs, lumbering endangered herbivores, such as rhinos and elephants, herds of impala and wildebeest....Picture how the net is constructed, with a huge metal roller attached to the leading edge. This rolling beam smashes and flattens obstructions, flushing creatures into the approaching filaments. The ... ...within terrestrial environments, yet in the marine realm it’s commonplace. For centuries the seas have been seen as inexhaustible, with debates raging from as early as the 1800’s as to whether the effect of fishing would have either direct or indirect impacts on either the fish stocks being exploited or the surrounding environment.

Advantages: Easy to read, entertaining and very interesting Disadvantages: None!
"DID YOU SPOT THE GORILLA?" "Did you spot the gorilla" is a clever little book designed to help you recognise hidden opportunities in your life. It is based on a psychological study which makes it both fascinating and inspiring, and will most likely help you keep an open mind and spot many gorillas around you. Why gorillas, you must be wondering? Gorillas in fact are a metaphor for the obvious opportunities that constantly pass us by. Let me explain. ... ...where volunteers were asked to watch a 30-second film in which some people are playing basketball. The volunteers had to count the number of passes. However, halfway through the film, a man in a gorilla suits walks in, wanders around the players and walks off. Surprisingly, very few people noticed the gorilla. Had they just watched the film with no instructions, they would have spotted it right away, but as they were focusing on something else, they ...

...characteristic way in his book, Re-imagine! For you who probably have seen some wrongs done in your orgaanisation, and even elsewhere and believe it is time something was done about it, then this views by a man who share s your views and more would be a great read.
He rants about how people who are in areas such as enterprise and government who are well intentioned about rendering better services to people are thwarted by absurd organisational barriers ... ...the organisation created has become tyrants that have taken over., holding us back and creating barriers against our progress in our business.
In Re-imagine, he predicts that a workplace revolution which is underway would be embraced by every single person who ndoes not want to spend a lifetime in a single corporation. However, the need to have will, passion and know-how to take the responsibility lying with us-whether we like it or not. So we need ...
