This book, then, is an attempt to understand them better. It is a story that begins in Wapping, then moves to North Britain, crosses over to America, and back to England again, ending in Hertfordshire, where I was born.

Occasionally, in the course of tracing family history, a specific place or event can take hold in the imagination. In my case, this happened with an ancient tenement in Edinburgh''s Canongate, which carries the fanciful name of Morocco Close. That is where my great grandmother Agnes Reid was born and spent the first years of her childhood. It is also where her father died in 1839. My purpose, in these pages, is to draw the threads that lead to and from Morocco Close, breathe some life into its late Georgian and early Victorian inhabitants, and bring some order into a very tangled web.

The Huguenot Mariette family, which came to London from the Orléans region of France, had an important impact on the Powell branch of my ancestors, through marriage, inheritance and business interests, so I feel justified in presenting their history, which is an interesting one in its own right, as a consequential aspect of my own heritage. An Appendix is included that tells the story of Major Charles Jones, a relation of the Mariettes, who was a key figure in the Sellis scandal, which rocked England in 1810. His evidence, which only came to light in 1970, implicates the Duke of Cumberland, an uncle of Queen Victoria, in the murder of his own valet, Joseph Sellis.

Quakers have made an appearance several times in the course of my genealogical quest, but only among more or less distant cousins, up to now. Their stoic perseverance in the face of official persecution has always impressed me, so I am proud to present a Quaker who is my direct ancestor. Jonathan Kingham, born in 1620, is my 7th great grandfather. He was a Quaker and a miller in the parish of Wooburn, Buckinghamshire, where a river called the Wye flows into the Thames. This book looks at his origins, his life, and the world he lived in.

One of the greatest challenges facing business owners globally is that they simply don''t charge enough for what they do. And this leads to all kinds of nasty problems.

This has seen him travel the world as an author, speaker and commentator, working with business owners in every corner of the planet to help them create enterprises of substance and significance. If you''re sick of not charging enough for what you do, of not having any money in the bank, of feeling the exhaustion of working incredibly hard but not getting where you want to go, then this is, without a doubt, the book you need to read - now. Written specifically for business owners, this book has a number of very clear outcomes: putting an end to the business owner struggle challenging your thinking about what you charge showing why being the cheapest is - without a doubt - the worst business strategy ever explaining why there has never been a better time to charge what you''re worth ideally, giving you the courage to become the best and most expensive at what you do. This is a concept that works, regardless of the economic conditions, the industry you may be in or your geographic location. Someone has to be the most expensive, why not make it you?

This paper discusses the forces that are encouraging corporations and their boards andchief executives to adopt sustainability strategies - strategies that combine financial, environmental and social goals and responsibilities. It provides many examples of the costs associated with perceived socially or environmentally irresponsible behaviour and the benefits enjoyed by corporations adopting sustainability strategies. The paper describes the processes of change that enable corporations to move towards sustainable practices, focussing on business strategies that support rather than diminish global ecology and human/social capabilities. This unified approach is designed to bring about a change in the interpretation of corporate sustainability and to support the activities of change agents (managers, consultants, and community activists) in managing the massive corporate change needed to move corporations toward sustainable practices in a systematic way.
