First Published in 1990. This is a revised and updated second version for English translation from French by Erica E. Long-Michalke. Sugar provides a fascinating example of an international commodity, and this book deals with the history both of a multinational company and of the world sugar economy. It describes the emergence, in the nineteenth century, of the two family companies of Henry Tate and Abram Lyle. By 1914 they were the largest and most prosperous sugar-refining businesses in the British Empire. In 1921 they amalgamated and became after the Second World War pre-eminent in the world sugar economy. The book's final chapter covers the company's most recent acquisitions and demonstrates the management strategy of Tate & Lyle in its relations with the developed and developing worlds.
Erica James's true-to-life novels are well observed, insightful and compulsive. We all have dreams, but not all of us have the courage or opportunity to follow them... 'This book draws you into the lives of these characters, and often makes you want to scream at them to try and make them see reason. Funny, sad and frustrating, but an excellent compulsive read' Woman's Realm Contains: A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, TIME FOR A CHANGE, A SENSE OF BELONGING, THE HOLIDAY, PARADISE HOUSE
there was no way i was supposed to come back from that dark place.everyone i knew gave up on me.i was an embarrasement.truth be told,i was embarrased too.i was ashamed too.i hated me too.i too also knew that i had issues.the difference is,at some point i begun to ponder and question everything i had ever been told.in my mind,my heart and deep down in my soul i begged to differ.this groaning in my spirit only grew louder,as i dug,clawed and crawled,kicked and screamed,faught my way out of this god forsaken place.now they can only stare in disbeleif.i'd even go so far as saying,some of them are in awe.i'm convinced that we all have something inside of us that can fight it's way out of nearly anything or any situation.it simply has to be awakened,though it won't be a simple task.so long as we have breath in our lungs,there is always a chance for us to see the tides turn.
