** UPDATED FOR POST COVID-19 /// REVISED EDITION JUNE 2021 **"e;Worth reading for any interviewee, young and old."e; Mateo Nakamura, Former COO, Nomura International  A how-to-guide that gives you the confidence to meet your interviewers on equal terms and present them with all the answers they are looking for.  Crammed with tips on how to walk tall, feel good, and ace any interview you face.The book shows you how the interview is a two-way process, and how you can engage more fully with the people involved as well as meet all the technical requirements.The curious fact is, most people who conduct interviews aren't qualified to do so and they don't necessarily know what to look for or what makes the best fit for a role. They'll believe they can judge character or competence, as we all do, but often what steers their opinion is separate from the task at hand.This guide takes a close-up look at this human element, and at how your pitch, your manner, and your presentation all stream in to the emotional and intuitive antennae of the interviewers. A good deal of the actual business that decides your success is going on beneath the glossy interview room surface.The book's easy-to-read style belies a steely heart. We are in it to win it, whatever the level: executive, student, and starter alike.  "e;Encouraging and inspiring and soothing in one go. This book will help many candidates to prepare well for any interview but also, crucially, to be themselves authentically in the process."e; Emily Fine, BHP  "e;Spot on, effective, and funny, which is always a bonus. Sage definitely knows his onions! Highly recommended."e; Ricard Faverley, Managing Director, Epson

In this innovatory book Daniel Sage analyses how and why American space exploration reproduced and transformed American cultural and political imaginations by appealing to, and to an extent organizing, the transcendence of spatial and temporal frontiers. In so doing, he traces the development of a seductive, and powerful, yet complex and unstable American geographical imagination: the ’transcendental state’. Historical and indeed contemporary space exploration is, despite some recent notable exceptions, worthy of more attention across the social sciences and humanities. While largely engaging with the historical development of space exploration, it shows how contemporary cultural and social, and indeed geographical, research themes, including national identity, critical geopolitics, gender, technocracy, trauma and memory, can be informed by the study of space exploration.

The economic crisis of recent years continues to have a profound effect on the lives of European citizens. Economically, politically and socially, it has led to fundamental change in many people's lives. In addition to creating new concerns, the crisis has simultaneously exacerbated existing ones, raising profound challenges to the sustainability and success of the European model. This book seeks to examine this new 'social reality' of post-crisis Europe. The authors conclude by exploring what both the EU and national governments can do to restore Europe's strength, sustainability, cohesion and competitiveness in a climate of rising populism.
