Book Description
Roadcraft is the official Police Driver's Handbook, approved by the Association of Chief Police Officers, and is used by the police service to train police drivers, but it is useful for any driver wishing to improve their skills and safety to a more advanced level. Roadcraft aims to help people become better drivers by increasing awareness of all factors that affect driving, such as the capability of the driver, characteristics of the vehicle, and road and traffic conditions. This new edition has been prepared in close consultation with a working group of senior police driving instructors and other police and civilian advance driver training experts. It has been updated to reflect recent changes in the legislative framework surrounding driving and emergency response driving and new methodologies in teaching safe driving. It now also incorporates information on automotive engineering advances such as ABS and SatNav devices and their effect on driving. A new chapter has been added to teach drivers the physical and psychological aspects of driving and how to develop mental skills to become a better driver.

Book Description
Consumer Management in the Internet Age: How Customers Became Managers in the Modern Workplace analyzes online consumer management, a practice in which customers monitor, report on, and—sometimes unwittingly—discipline workers through writing and posting online reviews. Based on case studies of the websites Yelp and Rate My Professors (RMP), Joshua Sperber analyzes how online reviewing, a popular contemporary hobby, tells us much about the collapse of the barriers separating work and leisure as well as our need for collective purpose and community wherever we can find it. This book explores the economic implications of online reviews, as reviews provide both valuable free content for websites and surveillance of, respectively, restaurant servers and college instructors.

Book Description
The definitive motorcycle riding manual. This book will teach you everything from the basics, right up to Advanced level, whether you're a new learner, a rider returning to motorcycling or just somebody who wants to improve their skills. Too many bikers are either killed or seriously injured through stupidity - their own or anotherperson's - so this book is aimed to help set that straight by explaining the Police rider's'System' in a way that's easy to understand. The book starts with the fundamentals of eachparticular aspect of riding, and then gently increases the explanations up to an Advanced Levelof riding. The aim of this book is to teach any rider how to make the roads safer for themselvesto use by looking at every aspect of motorcycling and gives guidance, tips and advice on howbest to manage everyday situations more safely. The life that this book might save could wellbe your own.Whilst there are many books / videos teaching you how to pass your motorcycle test, there'snothing that describes the life-saving skills that are contained within BikerCraft. Unfortunately,the current motorcycle test doesn't really impart all of the skills needed by a novice rider either.Skills that are proven to work by the most respected motorcycle riders in the world - the Britishpolice - and BikerCraft describes how the 'everyday rider' can utilise those same skills to vastlyimprove their own abilities, ride safer and increase their confidence. Learning to master amotorcycle is nothing like driving a car. BikerCraft has been independently verified by anAdvanced Police Examiner with over 34 years' worth of experience.BikerCraft is the culmination of 40 years riding experience, including 6 years as a motorcycleinstructor. I completed a Police Advanced Motorcycle Training Scheme at the age of 17 andgained my full motorcycle licence shortly after my 17th birthday. A year later, I qualified as anInstructor for Star Rider working in Wythenshawe, Manchester. After working for them for 3years, I became a Motorcycle Instructor for BSM (Manchester) for 3 years. During my time atBSM I completed annual Police Advanced Assessments.During the past 40 years I've ridden somewhere around 200,000 motorcycle miles across theUK and have toured across / through France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Austria,Holland and Belgium frequently. Touring / camping was usually done 2-up with a fortnight's-worthof kit loaded on the bike and I can tell you that BikerCraft works everywhere !
