The Cultural Imperative
Our Price : £ 15.99 + postage & packing
Will the tidal wave of globalisation lead us to a bland and uniform cultural landscape dominated by a unified cultural perspective? Will cultural imperialism triumph in the twenty-first century? Or will culture maintain its influence on the human consciousness?
Richard D. Lewis explores these questions and explains how cultural traits are too deeply embedded to be homogenised.

The Road from Wigan Pier: Memoirs of a Linguist
Our Price : £ 18.00 + postage & packing
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.
