Strategic Analysis of International Marketing and Brand Management

A Comprehensive Case Study of Almarai's Expansion and Adaptation in a Changing Global Business Environment

The remarkable new work of fiction from the Booker Prize-winning author of&nbsp;Last Orders,&nbsp;Waterland&nbsp;and&nbsp;Mothering Sunday 'His archly modulated, precise prose, reminiscent at times of his friend Kazuo Ishiguro's, has lost none of its power ... immensely readable late-career Swift from start to finish,&nbsp;Twelve Post-War Tales&nbsp;is a marvel of the storyteller's art.'&nbsp;Financial Times'There can surely be no better contemporary writer to take on history's circularities that Graham Swift. ... "Growing up in the 1950s there was all the evidence of war." Swift has said. This beautiful cluster of stories shows how vital it remains in recollection.' Observer'Skilful, generous and humane, these 12 tales suggest the complexity and heartbreak of being engaged on such an uncertain journey.'&nbsp;Guardian'The characters in this collection share their thoughts and memories with the reader as though with a close friend, and the warmth of their confidences balances against their sadness. We feel we've been in the trenches with them, even when a story has gone no farther than the living room.' Wall Street Journal'These stories, depth charges of love, anguish, resentment, each in their way relating to the effects of WW2, are so good. Swift at his best - and he's on top form here - has the humanity and wry humour of William Trevor', Patrick Gale'Quite wonderful. Such grace and clarity - I'm filled with admiration',&nbsp;Philip Pullman In the aftermath of the Second World War Private Joseph Caan, a young Jewish soldier stationed in Germany, seeks the truth about lost family members; in the 1960s a father focuses on his daughter's wedding even as the Cuban Missile Crisis brings the world to the brink of disaster; in 2001, while planes fly into the Twin Towers, a maid working for US Embassy staff in London wonders if her birth on the day of the Kennedy assassination shaped her life; and at the height of a pandemic lockdown, Dr. Cole, a retired specialist in respiratory disease, returns to work and recalls a formative childhood encounter with illness and much more. These are just a few of the challenged characters we meet in Graham Swift's Twelve Post-war Tales. &nbsp; Tender, humane, funny and moving, Swift's latest work of fiction displays his quietly commanding ability to set the personal and the ordinary against the harsh sweep of history. It is an outstanding achievement, confirming his status as one of the great and subtlest voices of our age. &nbsp;

'A marvel of the storyteller's art', Financial Times

Twelve Post-War Tales

'Magnificent' KAMILA SHAMSIE 'Majestic yet profoundly tender' MEGHA MAJUMDAR A breathtaking novel about a woman forging a life for herself on the railways, Railsong is the story of an individual coming of age amid the social and political upheavals of twentieth-century India. In a newly independent India charged with national vigour, Charu, the motherless daughter of a railway worker, pines for freedom from the shackles of her impoverishment and meagre prospects. As diesel engines replace steam and the calamitous churn of drought, famine and a great strike engulfs her town, Charu dares to imagine a different future for herself. She boards a train and flees westwards, leaving behind the oppressive domesticity of her childhood for the alluring modernity, and apparent opportunities, of Bombay. Unfazed by the everyday discriminations around her, she becomes an unlikely hero: a railway woman and census enumerator who keeps her heart open -sometimes guilelessly - to her nation's vast possibility. Sweeping, elegiac and at times wonderfully comic, Railsong is a powerful portrait of grit, optimism and the force of character that enables one remarkable woman to live on her own terms in a country full of contradictions.

<div>'Brilliant. A fresh and highly engaging look at how Rome still shapes the world today.' Jonn Elledge 'This book will change the way you think about world history.'&nbsp; Raphael Cormack'Authoritative and engaging.' Subhadra Das'A fascinating and entertaining analysis of how Rome’s propaganda has colonized our collective imaginations.'Eleanor Janega 'Eloquent, well-researched and witty.' David M. Perry How many times a day do you think about the Roman Empire? The general consensus seems to be an awful lot. All Roads Lead to Rome explains why. Rome is more than just a city; it’s an enduring idea, a symbol of identity, power and legitimacy that has shaped the course of history for over 1,500 years. From ancient emperors to modern world leaders, Rome’s influence in building the world we know today is undeniable.&nbsp; In All Roads Lead to Rome, author and historian Rhiannon Garth Jones embarks on a fascinating exploration of how the idea of Rome has been seized by emperors, modern governments, religious leaders and even pop-culture icons. &nbsp; Each chapter examines how Rome’s famous history, politics and mythology have been reimagined through the centuries, and explores how these interpretations continue to shape our modern world. Whether you’re interested in history, contemporary global issues or simply curious about why Rome remains relevant, this book offers a fresh perspective on the lasting significance of one of history’s most famous civilisations.&nbsp; Dive into the history of Rome and its pervasive influence and gain a deeper understanding of the forces shaping the global landscape today.&nbsp;</div>

We Are All Guilty Here

“An illuminating book that examines where Mr. Musk came from and the episodes that shaped his worldview. In many ways it is the inverse of Walter Isaacson’s authorised biography. . . . the authors provide a portrait of his psyche that is arguably more revealing. . . . the resulting book is, you might say, a Musk-read.” –The Economist"Muskism cuts straight to the core of the man and the moment, explaining how a mercurial, conspiracy-prone, vicious bastard can inspire loyalty and billions in other peoples' money, and the nightmare world he wants to build with those billions." –Cory Doctorow, author of EnshittificationAn Economist Best Book of 2026 • A New Yorker Most Anticipated Book of the Year • A Financial Times Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of the Year • A Kirkus Most Anticipated Nonfiction Book of Spring 2026• A Literary Hub Most Anticipated Book of the YearA pyrotechnic examination of Elon Musk as a symptom and avatar of our postliberal ageEveryone’s got an Elon take. He’s a messiah. A menace; a genius; a clown. The verdicts differ, but they share one theme: they treat him as an individual.Muskism argues otherwise. Elon Musk isn’t a glitch in the system—he is the system. His worldview promises sovereignty through technology: plug in, power up, and become self-reliant. But the more you connect, the more he owns you.If Fordism defined the capitalism of the twentieth century, Muskism may define the twenty-first. Fordism helped build the welfare state. Musk undoes it. He thrives on dependence while preaching freedom. His cars run on subsidies; his satellites run the battlefield; his social networks train the AI that trains us.Muskism sells itself as the future but entrenches age-old hierarchies. It offers autonomy for some and exclusion for others. It’s pro-natalist but anti-immigrant, futurist but reactionary. It speaks of humanity but warns against empathy.Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff cut through the hype and the hate to reveal what Musk really represents: a new political economy, where to be “free” means to serve a Technoking. Muskism isn’t about the man. It’s about the machine that made him—and the world he’s making next. To read Muskism is to understand the machinery that made the man, and the world he’s making next, based on his philosophy of power in the spheres of: <ul><li>Silicon Valley: A sharp analysis of Elon Musk as more than a tech CEO, introducing “Muskism” as a new Silicon Valley paradigm shaping artificial intelligence, startups, and 21st-century capitalism.</li><li>Big Tech, AI &amp; the Future of Capitalism: Examines Tesla, SpaceX, and digital platforms through concepts like techno-sovereignty, automation, and “state symbiosis,” revealing how Big Tech is restructuring markets, innovation, and economic power.</li><li>Geopolitics, Power &amp; the Tech Billionaire Era: Explores how Musk’s companies influence global politics, infrastructure, and governance—from satellite networks to energy systems—showing how private tech power is reshaping international relations.</li></ul>

Was macht die anhaltende Faszination am Werk Thomas Bernhards aus? Der neue Profile-Band über den 'toten Giganten' (Elfriede Jelinek) zur Ausstellung im Literaturmuseum der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek ab 30. April 2026

'An diesem toten Giganten wird niemand mehr vorbeikommen', schrieb Elfriede Jelinek in ihrem Nachruf auf Thomas Bernhard im Februar 1989. Was fasziniert heute an diesem unverwechselbaren Autor, radikalen Provokateur und vermeintlichen Misanthropen? Wie lässt sich das anhaltende Interesse an Übersetzungen, Inszenierungen, literarischen Fortschreibungen erklären? Und ist Thomas Bernhards Stil tatsächlich so leicht imitierbar, wie manchmal behauptet? 
Der Band rückt nie gezeigte Fundstücke in den Fokus, darunter Manuskripte, Briefe und Fotografien aus allen Lebensphasen: von der Landgarderobe bis zum New Yorker Hemdenkauf, von Kinderzeichnungen bis zu selbstentworfenen Möbeln. Neue Einblicke in sein Werk zeigen Bernhard weniger als Propheten einer verfinsterten Welt, vielmehr als einen wachen Beobachter, der die zentralen Themen unserer Existenz auf einzigartige Weise zur Sprache bringt: unser Verhältnis zur Natur, zum Körper, zu den uns prägenden Gebäuden und Institutionen - schließlich die Lebensnotwendigkeit menschlicher Nähe.

Mit Beiträgen u. a. von Alexander Honold, Renate Langer, Thomas Macho, Manfred Mittermayer, Fatima Naqvi, Theresia Prammer, Eduardo Souto de Moura.

An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world. What if the mainstay of mental health care involved cancelling onerous debt, giving poor people free housing, and paying reparations to the descendants of slavery and colonialism? In Empire of Madness, Dr. Khameer Kidia re-evaluates the Western approach to mental health, which medicates symptoms instead of changing the structures that harm the human psyche. A physician and researcher whose own family suffers from the psychological effects of colonialism, Kidia highlights the limitations of the Western mental health model by reporting from the front lines of mental health crises at home, in the clinic, and during a decade of fieldwork. Clear-eyed and openhearted, Kidia asks the nuanced questions unaddressed by our current mental health model: How do history, culture, and politics shape mental distress? Are hoarding and burnout medical diagnoses or social problems? Why are schizophrenia outcomes sometimes better in poor countries without antipsychotics? Can a traditional healer treat mental illness better than a Western-trained clinician? For those living in poverty, can cash replace pills? With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, Kidia invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice—patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike—matters.

This collection of studies is devoted to the social role of language in the history of East Central Europe from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century. The authors examine the specificity of East Central Europe, an area that was a borderland between 'West' and 'East'. The region was largely inhabited by Slavic people, which gave it the character - and sometimes the name - of a Slavic world, but it was also home to non-Slavic ethnic groups (Germans, Hungarians, Jews). Various cultures, traditions, religions, faiths reinforced by social and economic divisions, as well as changing political borders over the centuries, created a complex picture of human relations. The authors set out to understand the history of East Central Europe through language - or rather co-existing languages - and the role they played at different levels of communication and in different systems of human relations (social, economic and political).
