The Age Of Unreason

We will not survive unless we adapt to the way the world is changing. The Age of Unreason is an inspiring vision of an era of new discoveries, new enlightenment and new freedoms. It helps us to understand what Tom Peters, the American business guru, has called the new 'upside down' competitive realities in the world of work and of leisure. It is a book to turn your understanding of the world on its head.

Reviews

Handy's lucid, exciting, shocking descriptions...thrust us one giant step closer to understanding the new, “upside-down” competitive realities.

Meticulously researched and elegantly written, it is likely to be the definitive work on its subject for many years to come. Steve Coll ... is honest about Exxon's strengths as well as its flaws, and presents both sides of the arguments with scrupulous even-handedness ... At every stop there are vivid anecdotes, sharp insights and telling details

—— Ed Crooks , Financial Times

Masterful ... Coll's in-depth reporting, buttressed by his anecdotal prose, make Private Empire a must-read ... [His] portrait of ExxonMobil is both riveting and appalling... Yet Private Empire is not so much an indictment as a fascinating look into American business and politics

Meticulous, multi-angled and valuable ... Coll's prose sweeps the earth like an Imax camera

—— Dwight Garner , New York Times

A thorough, sobering study of the pernicious consolidation of Big Oil ... jaw-dropping reading
