George Clarke shows how amazingly unexpected small spaces can be adapted into really practical living areas. Combining the eccentric and the inspirational with down-to-earth guidelines and information, the book will appeal not only to those dreaming of a get-away but to everyone who wants to make the most of their space at home. The book will showcase the spaces featured in the series, explaining how each build was achieved but also including new material showing how the designs might be adapted to more conventional small spaces. The spaces, and resultant possibilities, are incredibly varied, including work areas, complete homes, sleeping areas - and the ultimate fantasy escapes. There are mobile spaces, such as the old 1970s caravan that is converted into a travelling ice-cream parlour, existing structures needing a makeover, such as the canal boat that's been revamped as the ultimate bachelor pad, and the change of function of an underground public toilet that is converted into a one-bed flat. Illustrated throughout with practical artwork, before and after photos, and inspiring end results, the book also gives brilliant ideas for effective decorating, with suggestions for window, wall and floor coverings, and tips on using colour, texture and lighting.

«En dypt bevegende bok. Jeg følte meg beriket og takknemlig etter å ha lest den.» - John le Carré En sann beretning om en families fall fra et høyborgerlig liv på Wiens solside til dødsleiren Ausschwitz. Søndag 26. februar var 17 år gamle George Klaar på ball med sin venninne Lisl i Wiener Konserthus. Han tilhørte en stolt, ledende østerriksk familie. Men de var også jøder. Bare to uker senere kom Anschluss. Familien var så godt som dømt til døden ved folkemord. «På en presis og sjarmerende måte formidler George Clare den verden Vest-Europas jøder i nesten et århundre trodde de levde i» - New York Times Clare (1920-2009) vokste opp som sønn i en velstående jødisk familie i Østerrike. Etter krigen arbeidet Clare for den britiske kontrollkommisjon i Berlin, og senere hadde han en strålende karriere innen internasjonal presse. Med utgivelsen Siste vals i Wien vant han den prestisjetunge W.H Smiths Literary Award. Det er også laget en BBC dokumentar basert på boken.

A True Copy of the Last Will and Testament of George Clarke Esq; LL.D. Late Member of Parliament for the University of Oxford

Georgian England, at the start of the Industrial Revolution, just four years after the Battle of Waterloo. Two children, from poor families and in dire circumstances, each have good reason to run away and seek better life. Brought together by chance; staying together from loyalty and the need for human companionship. Developing into loving young adults with strong sense of justice and humanity, the two are appalled by the plight of the common workers. It is August 1819, and they journey to Manchester to attend a meeting. There, at St Peters Field, the radical orator, Henry Hunt, is to address the crowd. A rude shock awaits them and not all return safely to their homes there is blood on the field. A compelling love story set in the atmosphere of oppression, class division, hatred and violence that accompanied the Industrial Revolution in general, and the Peterloo Massacre in particular.

Published in October to coincide with the launch of the fourth Amazing Spaces series, this second tie-in book showcases more of George Clarke's extraordinary small builds from all over the country. He shows how amazingly unexpected small spaces can be adapted into really workable living areas. Combining the eccentric and the inspirational with practical information directly from the projects' creators, the book will appeal not only to those dreaming of a get-away - for example in a deceptively cosy tin tent - but to everyone who wants to make the most of the space at home or in the garden, such as converting a basement into a casino. With stunning photography showcasing projects from Series 2 and 3 and highlighting their most intriguing features as well as advice and style tips, the book features more than 20 previously unpublished home, garden, holiday and work spaces.

Most aspects of South Africa's investment climate the location-specific factors that shape opportunities and incentives for firms to invest productively, create jobs, and grow are favorable. The majority of large, registered firms believe that the legal system is able to protect their property rights. Infrastructure is reliable. Tax rates are relatively low. The burden of regulation is comparable to other middle-income countrries. Few firms pay bribes. And most firms have adequate access to credit. In many dimensions, South Africa has a good investment climate. Consistent with this, large South African firms are very productive. Labor productivity is far higher than in the most productive low-income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and compares favorably with other middle-income countries such as Brazil, Lithuania, Malaysia, and Poland. And although labor productivity in South Africa is slightly lower than in the most productive cities in China, it is over three times higher than in China as a whole. So, why hasn't South Africa been growing faster? As this title explores, while the investment climate is generally favorable, some problems remain. Firms appear to be particularly concerned about four areas: difficulty hiring skilled and educated workers, rigid labor regulations, exchange rate instability, and crime. Using rigorous statistical information on these and related topics, the book aims to assist policy makers and private sector stakeholders in developing reforms that will improve firm performance and growth.
