LID Publishing is the home of original and purposeful business books. We are completely focussed on commissioning, publishing and promoting high-quality books in the categories of business, smart-thinking and personal development.

It is with great delight that we share our Spring 2019 catalogue with you. Here we present previous highlights and provide insight on what we plan to publish in the coming season.

In particular, we would like to draw your attention to the ‘Concise Thinking’ series. Commencing with the title Positive Thinking, this new series will house a collection of books dedicated to developing mindsets that foster agility and adaptability to successfully tackle all kinds of opportunities.

Also publishing next year is Doing Business in China. This is the first title in the much anticipated ‘World Wise’ series designed to assist individuals embarking on international business endeavors.

Both the ‘Concise Advice’ series and the ‘Positive Wellbeing’ series have continued to go from strength to strength. Next year we plan to expand both collections with many more thought-provoking and original titles.

My colleagues and I are passionate about discovering new voices as well as reaching new audiences, so get in touch and let us know if there are any topics you’d like to see us publish in the future.

We hope you enjoy this collection of titles and we look forward to publishing many more exceptional business, professional and personal growth books.

Editor’s Top Picks

Work and Days by Andy Law

“For an alternative perspective from the Ancient Greeks and Romans on work and career.” – Sara Taheri

About the book

We may have advanced technologically and scientifically, but when it comes to raw intelligence we have progressed no further than the Greeks and the Romans. When it comes to business and strategy, Greece and Rome could well be called the ‘Mothers of Invention’. Ancient Greeks and Romans were as industrious in business as they were in warfare, construction, science, oratory, technology, philosophy, literature, and art. They created sophisticated systems for law, trade, supplies, and distribution. And during this period, we encounter the likes of Euclid, Homer, Plato, Aristotle, Herodotus, Euripides, Archimedes – world-famous thinkers that shaped society forever.
Based on the teachings of world-class strategists, proven leaders, inspirational innovators and successful power-brokers as well as orators, poets, teachers and philosophers of the Ancient Greek and Roman times, the daily readings of this unique book provides amazing insights into self-development, leadership techniques, the best use of time and the importance of caring for both our physical and mental health – to help us overcome the challenges of today’s working life.
Work and Days publishes in the UK in April 2019. 

I Was A Teenage Space Reporter by David Chudwin

“An Interesting book about the first lunar landing and the many firsts in space to come in the decades ahead.” – Sara Taheri

About the book

“That’s one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind,” were the words spoken by astronaut Neil Armstrong as he stepped off the Apollo 11. This was the first and most famous manned mission to land on the Moon. As a 19-year-old college journalist, author David Chudwin covered the launch from Florida in July 1969. Chudwin was the only journalist with official NASA press credentials representing the college press and had extraordinary access to the astronauts, rocket scientists, launch pads, rockets, and control centers.
2019 will be the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 – a time to look back to celebrate that mission and forward to our future in space. Divided into three parts, this book provides the author’s account of covering the first landing on the Moon in 1969; lessons learned from the Apollo program and their relevance to future space activities; and our future in space including new rockets, space stations, and trips back to the Moon and to Mars.

 

I Was A Teenage Space Reporter is publishing in the UK in May 2019. 

The Project Revolution by Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez

“This title enables you to learn from key examples and succeed in the project-driven economy.” – Sara Taheri

About the book

Every aspect of our lives is becoming a set of projects. The speed of change witnessed in the past decade has radically affected the way we organize and manage our companies and workers. Many of the traditional activities in organizations will soon be carried out by automation and robots. In this new landscape, projects are becoming an essential model to create value. In short, we are witnessing the rise of the project economy.
Leading projects thinker Antonio Nieto-Rodriguez explains the reasons behind, and the tremendous consequences, that this unnoticed disruption is having in our lives. He looks at how some leading companies, governments, schools, and universities have already embraced projects as the way to deliver on their strategy and ambitions. Ultimately, this book explains how individuals and companies can develop the competencies required to transform and thrive in the new digital and project-driven economy.

The Project Revolution is publishing in the UK in February 2019.
