Numerous histories have been written of the older colleges of Oxford and Cambridge. During the 20th century, Clare, founded in 1326, has two - Manfield Forbes' eccentric six century survey up to 1926, and Richard Eden's recent Clare College and the Founding of Clare Hall. However no previous attempt has been made by the College, or as far as is known by any Oxbridge college, to present a wide-ranging overview of college life and learning through the 20th century.
The quantity, diversity and availability of transport data is increasing rapidly, requiring new skills in the management and interrogation of data and databases.

This book takes a highly practical approach...
This book is about how to release human energy at work. It views people and organisations as energy fields, deeper and stronger than most managers understand. When Cracking Great Leaders release this energy (body, head, heart and soul) they access the ultimate business opportunity, a huge unsailed ocean of potential that will change people, organisations and may even change the world. This book goes well beyond "strength-based approaches" to Core of Greatness levels. It also goes beyond a process for individuals to a strategic program, based on 22 years of experience, designed to liberate the human energy of every person in your organisation. It will liberate your own Greatness, liberate Organisational Greatness throughout your organisation and ultimately help liberate Collective Greatness throughout the planet. The book is written for business leaders; however, parents, grandparents, teachers and almost anyone would benefit by following the step-by-step proven processes provided.

'The Dumb Waiter' tells the story of two orphans. Tom Broom is raised by his grandfather - an aficionado of fine desserts and a long standing member of The Pudding Club. Stella Brighton lives under the guardianship of a failing grandmother, preceding that of a chaotic aunt with an appetite for decorating and occasional prostitution. Both orphans seek to escape an unwanted childhood: Tom through an imaginary lover, whilst Stella grows up in an invented world of letter writing. Patched-up and raised to the brink of adulthood, their paths cross in the university city of York. Tom takes the cellar rooms of an old house discovering a boarded up dumb waiter connecting him to fellow tenant, Klaus, a womanizing student of art whilst Stella shares a flat with Martha, an American shoe heiress. The two are drawn into a circle of acquaintances and become friends. When the circle disintegrates Tom decides to travel to London in search of his mother, only to find more of a family than he bargained for.
