This is the truly inspiring story of Suh Sung-whan, an entrepreneur who grew up in Gaeseong in North Korea, left school at the age of sixteen, and subsequently transformed a small family business into a multi-million dollar global cosmetics corporation, AmorePacific, famous for its perfumes and cosmetics across the world. 
 
When Suh Sung-whan was a young boy in the 1930s, his mother supported their family by mixing and selling hand-pressed hair treatment oils, created from camellia nut trees. Inspired by his mother, he quickly learned the skills for developing and selling these products, and earned himself a spot in the first department store to open in Gaeseong – a sign of the big things to come. 
 
Suh Sung-whan soon experienced a major setback however, when he was called up to fight with the Japanese during World War II. Following Korea’s liberation in 1945, he made a fully-fledged entry into business, expanding the company, now known as AmorePacific, both in Korea and worldwide. As well as developing a hugely successful cosmetics business, he also dedicated time to developing green tea farms in the Jeju and Honam regions, and launched OSulloc, his own tea company. 
 
This is the fascinating story of how a young boy took a small family business and developed it into a global company, which has been at the forefront of booming trade in Korea.

Mitch Prinstein

Who doesn't want to be more popular? Surely a person's popularity, be it at school, work or socially, is the best predictor of how happy and successful they will be? 
 
 The truth is actually much more complex and is based on millennia of human evolution. This impeccably researched and highly entertaining book presents two very distinct types of popularity and shows how only one of them will get you what you want. 
Professor of Psychology and popularity expert Mitch Prinstein has based his book Popular on two decades of research into the human psyche and genetic make-up. He investigates the science of what popularity is, why we care about it so much – even if we don’t think we do – and if we can still become popular, even if we were outcasts when we were younger. He investigates social media phenomena, including Facebook friends, Instagram likes and Twitter followers, and explores how they tap into our basic need to survive. He also examines the correlation between popularity, health and lifespan, and offers important insights into parenting for popularity, explaining why supporting children in the right way will help them cultivate the right kind of popularity and shape them positively as adults in the future. 
 
 An enlightening read on a topic that has fascinated us for centuries, Popular will provide insight into your own popularity and how it influences your life in unexpected ways.

But all babies go through a stage when finger foods are the best way to feed them. Jenny Maizels has come up with a beautifully illustrated cookbook packed with finger-food recipe ideas using a wide range of healthy ingredients, cooked and uncooked, hot and cold, savoury and sweet.

The author of Domestic Bliss (of which Elle Decoration said:'Makes home time fun and brings out the happy hostess in even the most diehard career woman') turns her talents to cooking and entertaining. Some may want to spend hours slaving over a stove but Rita believes that you should keep things simple. While you do of course want to serve delicious food (and within these pages readers will find clever ideas for essential dishes no chic cook will want to be without), the way you serve your guests tells them as much about how pleased you are to see them as the number of hours you spend in the kitchen. This is a book about entertaining as a whole - and entertaining for Rita is as much about how to create the right atmosphere, the most sensible way to shop and the most stylish way of presenting your food as it is about cooking. Chapters cover breakfasts, simple suppers, dinner parties, celebrations, catering for children, eating outdoors, picnics, puddings, coffee and (most importantly) treats, and each one finishes with a few, stunningly simple recipe ideas that anyone can cook. Stylishly designed with retro artwork, this book will strike a chord with Rita fans everywhere and add sparkle to all our lives.
