173,95 kr. The proliferation of messages that the voting public is exposed to in the digital age means it has never been more important to use the right slogan or phrase in order to capture people's attention. Over the course of an extraordinary career advising organisations and candidates of all political persuasions, strategist and pollster Chris Bruni-Lowe has developed a clear understanding of what language moves people to action. To that end, he assembled a database comprising 20,000 slogans used in major elections worldwide over the past century, scrutinised the results and assessed all other relevant factors, allowing him to evaluate how effective any slogan is in delivering an election result. This amazing store of information revealed the remarkable fact that over the past 100 years just eight 'hit' words have been central to the successful outcome of most major elections. Based on information produced by his database, plus extensive interviews with more than 100 politicians, advisers, academics, marketing executives and behavioural scientists, this utterly unique book sets out to identify what makes an election slogan successful - according to those who have been involved in creating them and using them. Each chapter focuses on one of the eight words and shows how it has contributed to changing the world. Those who have devised a slogan using one of the eight words will explain how they came up with it and offer their assessment of its effectiveness.

- Upstairs Downstairs in the British Royal Family
173,95 kr. What really makes the British royal family tick? It's a question that royal watchers have pondered for as long as there has been a royal family. And the answer? Well, surprisingly, it's not the royal family's devotion to duty, it's not their wealth or their status, it's not even their popularity (or notoriety!). No, what really makes the royal family tick is the huge body of servants and staff past and present who feed and clothe the royals, organise their days, polish their shoes, carry the deer and pheasants they shoot, and even put the toothpaste on their toothbrushes. If you want to find out who these servants are, what they do and why, in so many cases, they devote their whole lives to royal service, then this book is for you. Some servants became utterly indispensable to the royals for whom they worked - Elizabeth II's childhood nanny Bobo MacDonald, for example, was closer to the late Queen than anyone in her family, not excepting even her husband Prince Philip and her sister Princess Margaret. At the other end of the spectrum, some members of staff found their royal employers arrogant, overbearing, snobbish and even infantile. As one recent member of the Kensington Palace team put it: 'What you get with one or two members of the royal family is a public angel and a private devil! And only the staff see the private devil!'

- The Extraordinary Life of Konrad Morgen
173,95 kr. In the Third Reich, the SS ran the Gestapo, the police and the concentration camps where millions of people were killed. However Nazi Germany still had laws and a legal system which outlawed murder and other criminal acts and SS Investigating Judge and Police Official SS, Major Konrad Morgen, used these laws to investigate and bring individual members of the SS to justice for their crimes against innocent victims. He was a fearless judge and investigator, and when he crossed swords with more powerful forces inside the SS he was demoted and sent by the Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler himself to the Eastern Front as an ordinary soldier in the Waffen SS. But his investigative skills were still needed and he returned to launch a series of criminal investigations in concentration camps. As a direct result of his investigations two concentration camp commandants were shot before the end of the War and he arrested three others. This book describes the cases he investigated and how he was able to pursue some of Nazi Germany's worst murderers from inside the SS.
