|  Avoid Retirement and Stay Alive by David Bogan & Keith Davies
Avoid retirement and stay alive is the simple message behind this potentially life-changing book. The authors' basic premise is that retirement is notion to be banished from all sensible conversation and promotes the idea that no one should retire and no one should want to retire. Quite apart from the economic reality that our respective Governments can't possibly afford the retirement we all expected when we started our working lives. Instead they say we should look at rearranging our lives to suit our changing circumstances, but allow no room for the idea of a use-by date when we stop and vegetate - because that's when we die, usually of boredom. A hard-hitting look at the Western economic history of retirement and how it has no place in the modern world, the authors provide case studies and a workable blueprint for changing our expectations and our plans for the second half of our working lives. With practical, pragmatic and accessible text,, the book will be illustrated throughout with line drawings, pull out quotes and bullet-pointed text summaries.
|  And Another Thing: The World According To Clarkson, Volume Two by Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson finds the world a perplexing place. So much so, in fact, that he wrote a book about it. But despite the appearance of the bestselling The World According To Clarkson, things don't seem to have changed much. And so Jeremy's having another go. In And Another Thing, our exasperated hero discovers that: - He inadvertently dropped a bomb on North Carolina - We're all going to explode at the age of 62 - Russians look bad in Speedos. But not as bad as Brits - No one should have to worry about being Bill Oddie's long lost sister - Cooking a Sunday Roast is one thing. Gravy is quite another - He should probably be nicer about David Beckham But while these things play on his mind, the world remains Jeremy's favourite place to be. On the whole, it's brilliant. It s just the idiots, meddlers and do-gooders who spoil it for the rest of us. Laugh-out-loud funny and as straight-talking as ever, Clarkson bursts their pointless little bubble, while celebrating the special things that we should hold dear.
