Synopsis
Have you ever wished you could spend your life doing only what you believe in and what you enjoy? Employed during his National Service by a brilliant but eccentric general, Gerard Morgan-Grenville learned that your destiny is largely what you make it. He soon veered off the conventional career path to follow his principles and beliefs. Short of money, he set up as a merchant adventurer; falling in love with a canal boat, he pioneered passenger barges on the French waterways; enraptured by travel, he pursued projects from Azerbaijan to Antarctica; passionate about railways, he developed hotel trains in Scotland and Siberia; deeply concered by environmental decline, he founded the ground-breaking Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales and co-founded the Green Alliance. This vibrant account of an unconventional existence is full of anecdotes of crossing the Sahara Desert, bashing the nuclear power industry, building follies, designing ships and flying a slalom between the chimneys of a refinery.
