David & Charles Mercedes-Benz W123: All models 1976 to 1986
Book SynopsisWith nearly 2.7 million cars produced, Mercedes' W123 series was hugely successful. As well as the practical saloon (sedan), Mercedes offered a stylish coupe and a roomy estate (wagon), which was built in-house for the first time. Often considered the marque's best-engineered cars of all time, they are increasingly sought after as modern classics, yet many are still suitable to drive every day. From the taxi ranks of Germany to the dusty roads of North Africa, many of these cars have led a hard life, and examples in good condition are becoming ever more difficult to find. This guide will help you learn about the differences between models, and what to look for when buying. What are the true running costs, and what issues - with the mechanicals, body or interior - should you be wary of? Is a restoration worth considering? This handy guide will take you step-by-step through the process of finding and evaluating a good W123 and making a successful purchase. Essential data and information about clubs and specialists will help you look after and enjoy your W123 today.Trade ReviewThis book provides helpful tools in evaluating this car if you are not familiar with them. - Chris Bass Freelance. Great addition to this growing range is this buying guide for Mercedes-Benz W123. Don't buy this car without a copy. - Practical Classics. If you’re looking to but a W123 don’t even think about it before you’ve read this book. It includes an evaluation section, where you can grade any potential purchase from 1 to 4 in a number of key areas. The higher the score overall, the better the car – and there’s a table at the end to advise whether to buy or avoid cars based in their scores. With everything covered, from optional extras to body rot and more, Julian Parish’s extensive knowledge of the model means it’s hard to go wrong. – Mercedes Driver.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Penguin Books Ltd Brandsplaining Why Marketing Is Still Sexist and
Book Synopsis''It''s high time we expose and remedy the pseudo-feminist marketing malarkey holding women back under the guise of empowerment'' Amanda Montell, author of Wordslut________________Brands profit by telling women who they are and how to be. Now they''ve discovered feminism and are hell bent on selling ''fempowerment'' back to us. But behind the go-girl slogans and the viral hash-tags has anything really changed?In Brandsplaining, Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts expose the monumental gap that exists between the women that appear in the media around us and the women we really are. Their research reveals how our experiences, wants and needs - in all forms - are ignored and misrepresented by an industry that fails to understand us.They propose a radical solution to resolve this once and for all: an innovative framework for marketing that is fresh, exciting, and - at last - sexism-free.________________Trade ReviewA brilliant book -- witty and wise. A fast-track primer to gender bilingual marketing: the skill of being able to connect with 100% of your potential market and avoid the lazy, systemic default of outdated and ineffective brandsplaining -- Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO of 20-firstAn outrageously important book. Erudite, funny, and deeply engaging -- with no condescension or bullshit -- Brandsplaining sets out why the male monologue continues to monopolize, and what to do about it -- Dr Aarathi Prasad, author of Like A Virgin: how science is redesigning the rules of sexFilled with fascinating and funny insights, Brandsplaining is not just about marketing but also about how gender identities can be (and are) shaped and mis-shaped, branded and rebranded. If you think we've moved on from 'Good Girl' to 'Go Girl', think again! This is great food for thought in any debates about the path to gender irrelevance - or even gender neutrality -- Professor Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered BrainWhat an important piece of research, and what an interesting read! This book has the power to change the way that people see everything -- Sophie Devonshire, CEO of The Marketing SocietyOn our way to dethroning patriarchy's hold on capitalism, books like this are critical. It's high time we expose and remedy the pseudo-feminist marketing malarkey holding women back under the guise of empowerment - and Brandsplaining is here to help us do just that -- Amanda Montell, author of WordslutWith the male-dominated marketing monologue in the dock, this is a compelling and forensically constructed case for the prosecution. The accused's guilt practically drips off the pages. But like all good crime stories, there's a route to reform and redemption at the end -- Paul Kemp-Robertson, co-founder, Contagious

Learn: how to discuss concerns about too many medications with healthcare providers, simple ways to make positive lifestyle changes, and when to consider alternative healing approaches.Today, one-third of all adults take two or more prescription drugs, and half of all seniors take more than five daily. This book—the first of its kind—tackles the epidemic overuse of prescription drugs.The first half of the book describes the dangers of taking too many drugs, including drug-drug interactions, medication errors, unintentional overdoses, unnecessary medications, made-up illnesses (“restless leg syndrome”), and side effects that actually mimic a new illness.The second half discusses the benefits and harms caused by many of the most popular drugs used to treat diseases, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, acid reflux, depression, and pain. It tells which drugs are really needed and whether or not they cause side effects.Combining stories of those who have suffered ill effects from taking too many drugs with data from cutting-edge medical findings, Do You Really Need That Pill? helps readers realize they can choose different solutions to their health problems.Trade Review"Overdiagnosis and overmedication are major public health issues in the United States and, if the trend continues, will only increase with the growing senior population.
