This exciting new text tackles the issues raised by cross-national differences in HRM styles. Specifically, it identifies a number of themes: the meaning of globalization and the extent to which it is a novel phenomenon; the challenges to national traditions; the way in which many key issues within international HRM are contested; and the extent to which change in national systems is evident. 
The book is split into 2 parts and these themes underlie the treatment of the content of the book. The first part of the book examines the context of international HRM through an examination of the process of globalization and the origins of the distinctiveness of national business systems. The second part is concerned with particular issues relating to multinational companies, such as how and why they transfer practices across operations in different countries. 
In addition, this part tackles HR issues in international context, such as management development, pay and reward, and recruitment and selection. This book will appeal to undergraduates taking International HRM courses, those taking Masters programs in HRM and MBA students. It may also be used as supplementary reading for comparative industrial relations courses that feature multinational companies.

The Restorer's Guide 1966-1993. Immortalized as Dustin Hoffman's transport in "The Graduate," Alfa Romeo's Spider enjoyed an extraordinarily long production span of 27 years. Launched as the 1600cc Duetto with Pininfarina's simply-styled round-tailed body, it got a 1750cc engine and its tail sawed off in 1969, grew into a 2000cc in 1970 and was saddled with rubber bumpers in the '80s, but lost them in 1990, by which time it was the second oldest car on sale in the U.K. Chris Rees has assembled a comprehensive production history of the car that was offered in literally dozens of different versions with a bewildering multiplicity of minor changes and variants. This task has never been fully attempted before, and the result is sure to be eagerly seized upon by the thousands of Spider enthusiasts hungry for a definitive volume.

The concept car was born in 1939 with General Motors' invention of the Buick Y-job.  This was not a car designed for general consumption, but one created by the styling department as an "ideas" car, a sleek, chrome-adorned sculpture contrived to inflate passions and inspire imaginations.  The 1950s was the true golden age of the automobile, and America was the hub of innovative engineering, producing cars in different shapes and designing flying cars, nuclear-powered cars, and gyroscopically controlled two-wheeled cars.  In the 1960s and 1970s the focus of concept car design moved to Europe, and the results were even sleeker and more sophisticated.    From the Chrysler Turboflite to the Renault Raccoon, the boundaries of car design were pushed to even more outlandish styles, eventually translating into the new classic designs of today.    Concept Cars is the ultimate guide to concept cars, featuring major designs houses from Ogle to Pininfarina as well as mass manufacturers.  A comprehensive visual reference guide, complete with over 300 stunning color images, highlights some of the most significant and creative cars of the century, making this volume a thorough and entertaining book that will be treasured by car enthusiasts everywhere.

Caterhams are a new take on the classic Lotus Sevens and are found on racetracks and twisty roads around the world. Caterham Sevens is the story of a former Lotus dealer, Graham Nearn, who saw the potential of a hand-built sportscar which its creator, Lotus founder Colin Chapman, was about to discard. Nearn bought manufacturing rights from Colin Chapman, and by developing ever more powerful versions for more than 30 years, turned Caterham into one of the world's most prolific and affordable sports-racing cars. Widely recognized as the standard work on the history of Caterham and its cars from the original Lotus Seven of 1957 and its Caterham derivative of 1973 to the latest Cosworth-powered Caterham CSR of 2005. This edition is updated with 64 pages of additional material. 2nd ed.
