Thanks so much Phuong, for that copy of the World Englishes syllabus, but more especially for that link to the Negotiation text of Tom Beasor. Actually, you guessed wrong about the reason I'm searching for these Negotiation texts on the net.
The reason I need to find these books online, if possible, is that I'm teaching a course in International Negotiation at SIU this semester and the textbook provided for the course is not only crappy, but is also more than 10 years old. The world has changed a whole
lot in the past 10 years, so I have to rely more on supplemental texts. Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to dither about searching for these things myself.
Obviously, my students don't have much free time either, nor can they afford to run around trying to find and purchase more foreign textbooks. So, I'm doing this (& now you, too) for their benefit, not my own. Having recently been students ourselves, we can really appreciate the value of online sources, right? Again, loads of thanks for your help.

Hi Smith, Welcome back. Just a bit curious that you are searching for books for your World Englishes 602 subject, aren't you? or are you looking for books to serve your 'management' skills as a 'Dean' at work?
I just took a look at the unit outline of World Englishes 602 (please see the attachment) and found out that there is not any assignment whose questions are related to negotiative or managerial strategies that Curtin would like us to master.
However, I still spent an hour to try googling them for you, and I could find only this one: http://www.ashgate.com/pdf/SamplePages/Great_Negotiators_Sect_5.pdf
which is a chapter of the book 'Great Negotiators: How he Most Successful Negotiators Think and Behave' Hope this can help. Regards, Qui Phuong

GREETINGS, FORMER CLASSMATES: I've been to America during the past Summer & out of the loop for a while - but, I"M BAAAACK! CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL YOU NEW LINGUIST MA's - except me. The one course I still need is World Englishes, which was at the beginning of our intake but at the END of this one - in November. As soon as I complete that one, I hope to join your ranks.
I do need some help with 2 unrelated research matters if anyone knows how I can do it. I found these books (listed below) available on Mediafire but I never got the hang of how to download from there for free. Every time I try to download a book, they say I have to pay, but thats a pain and slows down the acquisition, of course!

Any help or advice fully appreciated. Incidentally, one of my purposes for doing the Ling. MA was to further some knowledge that might help me further some Forensic Linguistics Research, that I have an interest in. I would also be grateful for any leads you may have in this direction. Best wishes to all in your future careers.

Hello MAs,
It's been almost one month since we achieved the title MA. Is it high time we got together for a chat and some drinking? I am thinking of a party where we will enjoy ourselves sharing the changes since we have owned the MA degree. Văn Thánh Resort in Bình Thạnh District on Sunday 23 September between 9am - 2pm is the final choice. Would you like to join? Please count yourself in :-)
Regards,
Tôn Thất Hòa (Mr.) - 0903 348 178
