Each is an example of how an iconic company was defined by a particular moment of fame or notoriety • These notable and fascinating accounts are as relevant today to understanding the intricacies of corporate life as they were when the events happened • Stories about Wall Street are infused with drama and adventure and reveal the machinations and volatile nature of the world of finance.

As mentioned in The Times Travel Book Club 2020 • Award winning writer Paul Theroux embarks on a journey that, though closer to home than most of his expeditions, uncovers some surprising truths about Britain and the British people in the '80s in The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain • Paul Theroux's round-Britain travelogue is funny, perceptive and 'best avoided by patriots with high blood pressure...' • After eleven years living as an American in London, Paul Theroux set out to travel clockwise round the coast and find out what Britain and the British are really like.
