Im Frühling des Jahres 1929 machte sich ein eigenwilliges englisches Ehepaar aus dem kalten und regnerischen London auf den Weg, eine "paradiesische Insel im Mittelmeer" zu bereisen, die damals noch weitgehend unentdeckt vor sich hinträumte.Gordon West, von Beruf Journalist, und seine emanzipierte Ehefrau Mary, eine Hobby-Kunstmalerin, erwanderten sich Mallorca auf Schusters Rappen oder Esels Rücken.Als Gordon West seine persönlichen Eindrücke und die Erlebnisse der privaten Inselerkundung in dem vorliegenden Buch humorvoll festhielt, konnte er nicht ahnen, was er und später andere Enthusiasten mit ihrer Mallorca-Verehrung auslösen würden... . Vieles von dem alten Mallorca ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten zwar durch gedankenlose Naturzerstörung unwiderruflich verloren gegangen, aber der besondere Charme des oft beschworenen anderen Mallorcas lässt sich auch heute noch in manchen Teilen der Insel aufspüren. Man kann den nostalgischen Reisebericht der Wests als eine Art Gebrauchsanweisung dafür benutzen und auf diese Weise auch den modernen Urlaub zu seiner ganz eigenen "mallorquinischen Reise" ausgestalten. Die englische Originalversion Jogging round Majorca war nach ihrer Wiederentdeckung Anfang der 90er Jahre des 20. Jhd. in Großbritannien ein kleiner Bestseller und "Reisebuch des Jahres 1994". Überarbeitete Neuauflage 2024 mit zahlreichen Illustrationen von Stefan Theurer.

In The Story of Scandinavia, political scholar Stein Ringen chronicles more than 1,200 years of drama, economic rise and fall, crises, kings and queens, war, peace, language and culture. Scandinavian history has been one of dramatic discontinuities of collapse and restarts, from the Viking Age to the Age of Perpetual War to the modern age today. For a thousand years, the Scandinavian countries were kingdoms of repression where monarchs played at the game of being European powers, at the expense of their own populations.The brand we now know as "Scandinavia" is a recent invention. During most of its history, Denmark and Sweden, and to some degree Norway, were bloody enemies. These sentiments of enmity have not been fully settled. Under the surface of collaboration remain undercurrents of hatred, envy, contempt and pity. What does it mean today to be Scandinavian? For the author, whose identity is Scandinavian but his life European, this masterly history is a personal exploration as well as a narrative of compelling scope.

"I travel, therefore I am - apologies to Descartes for twisting his noble thought." That's how M. P. Prabhakaran explains his passion for travel in the "Preface" to this book. If academic qualifications are a measure of one's learning experience, he has a string of them, he says. But they are no match for what he has learned from his travels around the world, he adds. He shares with the readers what he learned through the pages of this book.He introduces them to the geopolitical, historical and cultural landscapes of various countries stretching from Argentina to China. He narrates in one English prose the scenic beauty of some of the places he visited and personal stories of some of the people he met. In the course of interacting with those people, he also projects among them the real image of India - the image of a country which, in spite of being multi-religious, multiethnic and multicultural, has remained intact as a single political entity and become the most vibrant democracy in the world. The book is a page turner.

"Speak American? Govorite li Ameri¿ki?" is a guide to embracing American-Serbian cultural nuances. In today's global world, the ability to communicate effectively across cultural boundaries is more than a skill-it is a necessity. "Speak American? Govorite li Ameri¿ki?" is a tool for Serbian professionals who are seeking to navigate the American business landscape and for American professionals who are curious to understand the cultural subtleties of how their Serbian counterparts might perceive their words and phrases.Structure of the BookDivided into two parts, this book was created and structured to promote a deep understanding and practical application of American (and Serbian) idioms in professional settings.Part I explains 101 American idioms, presenting each with its meaning, a business example, and an explanation of its origins. The idioms are presented in English on one page, with Serbian translations on the facing page, accompanied by vivid illustrations that bring their meanings to life. This section aims not just to explain the American idioms but to help readers visualize and apply them in real-world scenarios.Part II provides additional idioms paired with their Serbian equivalents in a way that transcends direct translation. This section offers a perspective on how idiomatic expressions, though different in words, often share universal themes and lessons. It is a testament to the shared human experiences, providing insights for Serbian and American readers.Why Read this Book?Drawing on four decades of experience in management education in the United States, we believe that idioms are not just phrases but the essence of effective communication. American English includes many idioms that are confusing because the meaning often has little to do with the literal meaning of the words. For instance, "let the cat out of the bag" means to reveal a secret; it has nothing to do with a cat or a bag. Knowing American idioms is the key to not just surviving but thriving in an American business context. Avoiding embarrassment caused by confusion helps, too. "Speak American? Govorite li Ameri¿ki?" is more than a book; it is also envisioned as a bridge between cultures. It is an invitation to explore the richness of American and Serbian idiomatic expressions, uncovering their cultural finesse. For Serbian professionals interacting with the American business environment, this book offers unparalleled insights into navigating the language and American culture with ease.As a collaborative effort between two management professors (one American and one born and raised in Serbia), our book is enriched with personal insights and experiences. Our backgrounds and journey as a married couple allow us to present a blend of socio-business perspectives, making "Speak American? Govorite li Ameri¿ki?" a unique resource in the Serbian market for global management education.Embrace this opportunity to dismantle language barriers, enhance your professional interactions, and unlock the doors to more international opportunities for fruitful cooperation.
