Going South explains how this has happened, arguing that the time for quick fixes is over.

This brilliantly original and humorous book from the author of Stig of the Dump tells of how the whole town of Ramsly became adrift in the Channel. It was Gargoyle, the Rectory cat, who first noticed that something very odd was happening in the town of Ramsly… The Railway Station was awash, and Gargoyle’s favorite hunting grounds outside the town seemed to somehow become submerged in swirling, choppy, salty water. Then, one by one, as the people of Ramsly woke up, it was discovered that their town had come adrift from the rest of England… they were all floating gently across the Channel into France! But their journey has only begun—Ramsly continues floating south, to Africa and the South Seas, to Australia and farther south to the coldest land in the world.

The rise of corporate message boards and online trading over the past decade has shifted power from analysts to small investors. In Going South, author William Cast describes how the power of this new technology revealed corporate accounting fraud at HealthSouth. Cast reveals how high school dropout and CEO Scrushy managed a corporation of more than 44,000 employees in 1,700 clinics - while leading a country western band and flying corporate jets; why online trading behaviour in the HealthSouth case supports new theories about group decision making; and how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act applies to executives who certify false financial records. William Cast, MD, is a nationally recognised physician and entrepreneur.

In this remarkable memoir, Dorfman describes an extraordinary life, torn between the United States, South America, and his Jewish heritage, between English and Spanish, between revolution and repression. Interwoven with the story of how Dorfman switched languages and countries--not once, but three times--is a day-to-day account of his multiple escapes from death during Pinochet's military takeover of Chile in 1973. Combining eight vignettes of his life before 1973 with eight scenes from the coup, Dorfman filters these events through an engaging, hybrid consciousness.A beautifully written and deeply moving auto-biography by one of the "greatest living Latin American writers" (Newsweek), Heading South, Looking North is at once a vivid account of a life as complex and mysterious as the fictional characters Dorfman has created, and an enthralling search for a permanent home, a political cause, and a cultural identity.
