THE 4 FIGURE TRICK
The Non-Financial Managers Guide to Better and Faster Business
Decisions
Devid Meckin
Financial management is often portrayed as
a demonic science, littered with spreadsheets,

successful financial management is all about the
management of just four figures. Knowing what
these four figures are, how they interrelate and
(most importantly) how they can be managed is the
key to financial success.
This is what David Meckin calls ‘the four figure trick.’
Almost every major business failure can be pinned
down to the ineffective management of at least one
of these critical figures.

makes the world of financial management far more

BREAKING THROUGH BIAS, 2ND EDITION
Communication Techniques for Women to Succeed at Work
Andrea S. Krammer, Alton B. Harris
Since Breaking Through Bias was published in 2016, the #MeToo

brought into even sharper focus the discriminatory impact of the
unequal division of child care and household responsibilities between
most couples. In this Second Edition of Breaking Through Bias, the

fit into a larger pattern of implicit or unconscious gender bias that
imposes serious obstacles to women’s career advancement.They
argue persuasively, however, that while this bias is the result of deeply

THE RHINE
Ben Coates
The Rhine is one of the world’s greatest rivers. Once forming the
outer frontier of the Roman Empire, it flows 800 miles from the
social democratic playground of the Netherlands, through the
industrial and political powerhouses of Germany and France, to the
wealthy mountain fortresses of Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
For five years, Ben Coates lived alongside a major channel of
the river in Rotterdam, crossing it daily, swimming and sailing
in its tributaries. In The Rhine, he sets out by bicycle from the
Netherlands, where it enters the North Sea, following it through
