A Curious Life for a Lady

The Story of Isabella Bird

By: Pat Barr

Isabella Bird was a woman of remarkable gifts. In 1872, at the age of forty, this rather earnest daughter of a country parson abandoned the rectory nest and began her pioneering journeys to some of the most inhospitable corners of the world. Undismayed by discomfort or danger she was to spend almost thirty years travelling - to the Rocky Mountains, the Sandwich Isles, to Japan, Malaya, Kashmir and Tibet, to Persia, Korea and China - where an indomitable spirit, an unassuming cordiality and, above all, a limitless capacity for being interested won her universal welcome. Her accounts of her experiences became best-selling books and established for Isabella Bird a reputation as one of the great travel writers of her day. 'Miss Barr has her measure. She and Miss Bird are well suited. The style of both is fresh, energetic, visual, making an enchanting book.' Evening Standard 'Rich and riotous as her intrepid heroine moves at the speed of a silent movie through landscapes lusher than any technicolour.' Times Literary Supplement 'A rare book.' Sunday Telegraph

Having Their Cake--

How the City and Big Bosses are Consuming UK Business

By: Don Young,Pat Scott

The beginning of the 21st century has seen spectacular company scandals hit the headlines: there have been catastrophic collapses in such businesses as Marconi, Enron, Invensys, Tyco and WorldCom. In Britain, seismic changes have occurred in the shape of the industrial economy. There is now little or no large British presence in most of the key industrial sectors. Is this simply due to the march of progress towards a new and shining service-based economy? detail the little-publicized system of relationships between the top managers of large companies and those in the financial markets: investment bankers, stockbrokers, fund managers, stock market analysts, city lawyers, financial PR consultants and the financial press. The authors explore how these relationships have evolved to the point where, for the ambitious and wealth-seeking top manager, the best rout to quick success and high earnings appears to be through embarking on acquisitions, mergers, portfolio restructurings, drastic cost-cutting and other high-profile financial moves. All this hyperactive, transaction-based activity has done little for productivity or investment in the basic tools that help employees to be effective, but clearly rewards top managers and their supporters in the City. personal greed are undermining companies and destroying Britain's wealth and value.

In Spite of Everything ......

'A Life-Story of Fear, Heartbreak, Love, Trickery and Triumph'

By: Pat Coppard... (PatCee)

In Spite of Everything Book 1 chronicles the struggle of my brothers and I to overcome the tragic death of our Mother, and the devastating bombing raids during the second world war, highlighting the efforts of our Grandparents to keep us together and guide us safely through that traumatic part of London history. Followed by the forced evacuation and safe return to Bermondsey,. School days prove to be very confrontational mainly due to religious bigotry, but then two years of work in the London docks turn the boy into a man. This part of my story ends with my entry into the British Army to start my compulsory two years National Service. Pat Coppard (Pat Cee)
