Other chapters cover non-verbal communication and 'doing things right and doing the right thing'. The text is presented in a lively way but also with academic rigour, and is supported throughout by exercises, checklists and ready-to-use formats.

The Fast Track To Financial Freedom in Auto Repair

Slingshot

The sum of saving knowledge; or, A brief sum of Christian doctrine [by D. Dickson and J. Durham].

As rich and diverse as its subject, Dickson’s magisterial history brings 1,400 years of Dublin vividly to life: from its medieval incarnation through the neoclassical eighteenth century, the Easter Rising that convulsed the city in 1916, the bloody civil war following the handover of power by Britain, to end-of-millennium urban renewal efforts.

The Making of a Capital City

Dublin

The contributions in this collection of essays make an important step in reconstructing the history of the Irish and Scottish mercantile diasporas in the 17th and 18th centuries.

Irish and Scottish Mercantile Networks in Europe and Overseas in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries

The untold story of a group of Irish cities and their remarkable development before the age of industrialization A backward corner of Europe in 1600, Ireland was transformed during the following centuries. This was most evident in the rise of its cities, notably Dublin and Cork. David Dickson explores ten urban centers and their patterns of physical, social, and cultural evolution, relating this to the legacies of a violent past, and he reflects on their subsequent partial eclipse. Beautifully illustrated, this account reveals how the country's cities were distinctive and--through the Irish diaspora--influential beyond Ireland's shores.
