books & websites GREAT READS Her Here's a quick look at some of our top picks for reads this month: Business Etiquette: Keep your competitive edge and maintain successful business networks Patsy Rowe New Holland Publishers, $27.99 To get to the top of the business in the professional world means gaining an edge over the competition. If you're polished and self-assured people will be impressed and judge you favourably, and often it's their first judgement that sticks. Companies prefer to employ people who can effectively interact with clients and colleagues; people who can conduct themselves confidently in the boardroom or dining room; people, above all, who have good social skills. Business Etiquette provides the strategies to achieve success by demonstrating what to do, when to do it, and importantly, how to do it. Masculine, Feminine and Fully Human Richard W. Coan AuthorHouse, $14.90 Traditional approaches to masculinity and femininity have long obscured and oversimplified a multidimensional subject into one that either treats them as opposite sides of a spectrum or regards them as two separate dimensions. The new nonfiction book by Richard W. Coan, notable professor emeritus of the University of Arizona, Masculine, Feminine, and Fully Human: Developmental Paths Through the Adult Years takes a different approach and invites self-assessment and exploration into the fulfilment of human potential. Masculine, Feminine, and Fully Human tackles the nature of differences between men and women, examining previous research on the subject and looking at the dichotomy through the lens of mythological figures. Business Reads Risk Intelligence Dylan Evans Allen & Unwin, $36.99 There is a special kind of intelligence for dealing with risk and uncertainty. It doesn't correlate with IQ and most psychologists fail to spot it because it is found in such a disparate, rag-tag group of people such as weather-forecasters, professional gamblers and hedge-fund managers. This book shows just how important risk intelligence is. Many people in positions which require high risk intelligence - doctors, financial regulators and bankers - seem unable to navigate doubt and uncertainty. Risk Intelligence is a traveller's guide to the twilight zone of probabilities and speculation. Dylan Evans shows us how risk intelligence is vital to making good decisions, from dealing with climate change to combating terrorism. He argues that we can all learn a lot from expert gamblers, not just about money, but about how to make decisions in all aspects of our lives. Idiomantics: The Weird and Wonderful World of Popular Phrases Philip Gooden and Peter Lewis Bloomsbury, $24.99 Idiomantics is a unique exploration of the world of idiomatic phrases. The very etymology of the word 'idiom' reveals what's so endlessly fascinating about the wide range of colourful phrases we use in everyday speech: their peculiarity. They're peculiar both in the sense of being particular or unique to the culture from which they originate, and in the sense of being downright odd. To cite three random examples - from American English, Dutch and Italian - what on Earth are a snow job, a monkey sandwich story, and Mr Punch's secret? Fascinating and illuminating, Idiomantics explains all... Best of Life Nanny A. van den Oever Best Life Ltd, $39.99 Best of Life will help you with the question "Do you live your OWN Best Life?"
