Increase your influence and ignite your passion to succeed The pleasure in leading people to achieve a vision is only surpassed by them truly sensing they did it themselves. Leading in the modern world is not about personality, style and charisma. People are not looking for rock-star leaders; they don’t care about your personality profile, theories on management or level of emotional intelligence. What people are after are leaders that are able to see the light on the hill; leaders that can establish an atmosphere of success where people actively contribute in a way that is enjoyable, challenging and fulfilling. The Leader Who Inspires is travelling the journey of life; not observing it from a theoretical perspective. This book covers the leadership essentials, providing practical insights to maximise your leadership potential. It contains two practical strategies for self-growth and a further two to apply leadership to transform your enterprise. The concept of The Leader Who Inspires is not for everyone; but it is for those who have a preference for action and an appetite to lead. A specialist in strategy and business transformation, Dan Jackson has spent a career observing leaders of all types at all levels in private and public enterprises. Thoroughly researched, The Leader Who Inspires applies grounded theory to extensive experience on how to effectively lead and transform the modern workplace. www.leaderwhoinspires.com

Why is the North East the most distinctive region of England? Where do the stereotypes about North Easterners come from, and why are they so often misunderstood? In this wideranging new history of the people of North East England, Dan Jackson explores the deep roots of Northumbrian culture--hard work and heavy drinking, sociability and sentimentality, militarism and masculinity--in centuries of border warfare and dangerous and demanding work in industry, at sea and underground. He explains how the landscape and architecture of the North East explains so much about the people who have lived there, and how a ''Northumbrian Enlightenment'' emerged from this most literate part of England, leading to a catalogue of inventions that changed the world, from the locomotive to the lightbulb. Jackson''s Northumbrian journey reaches right to the present day, as this remarkable region finds itself caught between an indifferent south and a newly assertive Scotland. Covering everything from the Venerable Bede and the prince-bishops of Durham to Viz and Geordie Shore, this vital new history makes sense of a part of England facing an uncertain future, but whose people remain as distinctive as ever.

Having barely seen each other in three decades, two friends impulsively decide to take a cross-country road trip. For one, the trip is a chance to take a few swats at a question that buzzes like an old bug in his post-religious soul, "What do I believe? Not just about God, but about morality, mortality, meaning, and the whole so-called spiritual side of life?" For the other, the journey is the culmination of a lifelong struggle to confront a buried demon and reunite with a family from whom he''s been estranged for his entire adult life. What begins as a mundane drive becomes a quest for what really matters; a soul searching, thought provoking, oddly mythic, often hilarious, always human odyssey, as these two very different people join forces to keep a ''69 Volkswagen Beetle alive long enough to reach the distant shores of home.

Take the events and characters from one of the classic Star Wars films, throw in one happenstance, mishap, or technical glitch beyond the characters'' control, and watch how that changes everything. In Dark Horse''s first foray into Infinities (A New Hope), Luke Skywalker''s valiant torpedo attack on the Death Star failed due to a faulty detonator -- an event no one could have foreseen -- and the Rebellion was dealt a debilitating setback. In Infinities -- The Empire Strikes Back, Han Solo''s desperate attempt to locate his friend Luke in the icy wastes of the planet Hoth is thwarted when the tauntaun he''s riding succumbs to the cold while Han is still a mile from Luke''s location. Han arrives too late, barely in time to hear Luke''s dying words about Jedi training and the planet Dagobah... Thus begins an adventure far different than the one seen in the motion picture. Along the way, a famous bounty hunter is frozen in carbonite, Han and Chewie are captured on Tatooine by Jabba the Hutt, and Princess Leia and Yoda have a fateful jungle showdown with Darth Vader! Collecting the four-issue miniseries.

"Dark Horse can do next to no wrong when it comes to handling the Conan franchise.
