The Road from Wigan Pier: Memoirs of a Linguist
£18.00
Categories: Books.
Born in the depressed 1930s into a family of Lancashire miners, a piece of coal’s throw from Wigan Pier, Richard D. Lewis grew up in a rough-hewn homeland of Rugby League, with its awesomely deep collieries, its massive, gaunt cotton mills, black-faced pitmen and raw-boned pit lassies. Today he advises governments and corporations on cultural diversity, is a best-selling author, and was knighted by former President Ahtisaari of Finland. The Road from Wigan Pier, Richard D. Lewis’ autobiography, tells the story of this remarkable journey from humble beginnings to international acclaim.

Fish Can’t See Water
£19.99
Categories: Books.
Using extensive case studies of successful global corporations, this book explores the impact of national culture on the corporate strategy and its execution, and through this ultimately business success — or failure. It does not argue that different cultures lead to different business results, but that all cultures impact organizations in ways both positive and negative, depending on the business cycle, the particular business, and the particular strategies being pursued. Depending on all of these factors, cultural dynamics can either enable or derail performance. But recognizing those cultural factors is difficult for business leaders; like everyone else, they too can be blind to the culture of which they are a part.

The Billingers
£9.99
Categories: Books.
The Billingers tells the story of a little Lancashire village called Billinge. The author, Richard D. Lewis, who was born in Billinge in 1930, recounts his memories of life there and paints vivid pictures of all the main – and idiosyncratic – characters who formed the life-blood of the village. Lewis has also written down the grammar, key vocabulary and expressions of the Billinge dialect, now almost completely extinct. The Billingers is a fascinating, eclectic perspective on bygone years in the north of England.
