Synopsis
This story of American business which traces the rise of Malcolm Forbes against the collapse and corruption of American business in the 1970s and the go-go years of the 1980s. While many books, from Indecent Exposure to Barbarians at the Gate, have exposed modern business evils, they have treated them as isolated cases, where the men involved were cast as thieves. This is the first look at these evils in context, revealing the larger picture, raging at the decline in business standards, performance and ethics, and concluding with a call to action.

Review
"'This imagined recreation of the two most unforgettable Antarctic disasters tells brutal stories, but manages to do so with great tenderness and grace. Adrian Caesar's literary high-wire act works wonderfully well, adding a vivid humanity to landscapes scattered only with stiffly-written memoirs and black, ice-cold memorials.' - Simon Winchester"

This compelling biography details Ponting's journey from a restless youth to becoming a master of his craft, capturing the stark beauty and brutal realities of the frozen continent. It presents a vivid account of the expedition's challenges, the technological hurdles of early photography in extreme conditions, and the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds. Adrian Caesar skillfully illustrates the profound impact of Ponting's work, preserving a crucial visual record of one of history's most iconic explorations. The narrative offers a fascinating glimpse into an era of daring adventure and scientific endeavor. Paperback. Seller Inventory # 9780330361576-SECONDHAND

The white Last Days in the Antarctic Journeys of Scott and Mawson 1911-1913 (AF)
Seller: The Secret Bookshop, Tararua, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. A very clean unread copy with some light tanning. A literary retelling of the final, desperate phase of the great Antarctic expeditions of the early twentieth century. Caesar weaves together the stories of Robert Falcon Scott and Douglas Mawson, focusing on the human cost, the emotional strain and the harsh, indifferent landscape that shaped their journeys. Rather than writing a straightforward history, he blends documented events with imaginative reconstruction to explore what drove these men into such extreme environments and how they coped when everything began to unravel.
