Daytrips London: 55 One Day Adventures
"Daytrips London: 55 One Day Adventures by Rail or Car, In and Around London and Southern England".

"Daytrips London" detais 55 trips using that city as a base. Each one-day adventure is complete with a do-it-yourself walking tour, a detailed local map, full travel directions, restaurant & pub suggestions, background information, and a concise description of all worthwhile sights. There are also photos, a glossary of British terms and a menu translator, as well as a comprehensive index.

The destinations should appeal to a wide variety of interests.  Besides the usual cathedrals, castles, and art galleries there are such attractions as country walks, colorful London neighborhoods, maritime museums, canals, Roman ruins, places where history happened, places of literary association, quaint fishing villages, great seaports, resorts, elegant spas, and even some ever-so British railfan trips.
PS. Daytrips Guides is one of the best travel guides series in my opinion. Enjoy!

Once Upon A Time: Using Story-Based Activities to Develop Breakthrough Communication Skills
Terence Gargiulo's 'breakthrough' communications and storytelling are amply demonstrated with dozens of corporate examples. And the best part? Gargiulo shows us, step by step, how to create this storytelling communication magic in our own organizations. The competencies assessed by the instrument represent the nine essential communication behaviors that need to be developed and cultivated in all of today’s leaders and managers: Modeling, Telling, Selecting, Indexing, Synthesizing, Reflecting, Eliciting, Listening and Observing.

Once Upon a Time will show you how to develop exceptional communication skills, and it will serve as an invaluable resource for helping others do the same. Stories are a natural part of how we communicate. Yet many of us are unaware of the different ways we use stories. This book will take the intuitive aspects of communicating through stories and break it down into repeatable practices and essential competencies. The story-based activities in the second half of the book will give you powerful, easy to lead, structured, experiential exercises that can be used in a variety of settings and for lots of different purposes that go beyond training.
