Last in a series of six. We've Heard Rumours of the Yard Not Closing ...
World shipping economics have turned in Sunderland's favour. Private bidders calculate it is possible to build ships once again on the Wear. Max Eggert has seen it all before. He's an 'outplacement consultant', a professional in the world of redundancy. He can show the ex-shipyard managers his job loss curve. It reveals the cycle of emotions that follow a closure announcement - first despair, then anger, then a belief that there will be a last minute reprieve. Will the curve come true this time?

7: Brazil - Questions of Geography
'One immense font of love' is the way Jorge Amado , Latin America's most popular writer, describes Brazil, a country created from the intermarriage of Africans with Indians with Portugese in the struggle to tame the natural environment.
Today, the Brazilians are trying to reconcile the conflicting demands of progress and preservation, a dilemma which finds expression, often humorous and light-hearted, in their art and literature, their dance and music, and in Carnival the most spectacular display of popular culture in the world.
