The spectre of 'Global' - a hybrid English for an international audience - has loomed large of the business world for years. Though this book sounds initially like a user's guide to the much maligned genre, it's actually based around clear communication in emails and presentations. There's common sense here to be found in abundance.

Working with English as a global language takes tact, understanding and finesse, which is why Talbot and Bhattacharjee's text is such a useful tool in learning to express yourself in any culture. As you would expect from a text on clear and effective communication, this book manages to be very readable while simultaneously proving hugely instructive for both the non-native speaker wanting to get to grips with global business language, and the native speaker who just needs to brush up on technique.
