Nelson
"Horatio Nelson was one of the most successful leaders Britain has ever produced. In this new edition of Nelson, the late Colin White offers a fascinating analysis of Nelson's tactics and leadership style through gripping narratives of all three of Nelson's great battles—the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar. He brilliantly shows how the British triumph at Trafalgar was the culmination of years of thought and experimentation on Nelson's part, and by his contemporaries and predecessors. He also uses new material to demonstrate Nelson's remarkable administrative skills, and his abilities as a diplomat and intelligence officer—aspects of his leadership that have not been fully highlighted before. The result is an enthrallingly different portrait of Nelson as an admiral more rounded and more insightful than any yet achieved."--Publisher description.
A History of the Global Economy
Providing an exceptional overview and analysis of the global economy, from the origins of Homo sapiens to the present day, Colin White explores our past to help understand our economic future. He veers away from traditional Eurocentric approaches, providing a truly global scope for readers. The main themes include the creative innovativeness of humans and how this generates economic progression, the common economic pathway trodden by all societies, and the complementary relationship between government and the market.
Strategic Management
Reflecting the challenges of formulating, implementing and monitoring strategy in practice, Colin White's contemporary text discusses differing theories and approaches in the context of real world experience. Each chapter starts with a "Key Strategic Challenge" and sets the scene of a case study, resolved at the end of the chapter. "Strategic Projects" and "Exploring Further" sections encourage readers to investigate subjects more in detail. Integrated web packages include: for students, additional long case studies, integrating case study, links to further resources and searchable glossary; and for instructors, suggested teaching pathways and key themes, additional case study questions, comments on exercises and assignments within the text, and Powerpoint lecture presentations.

Nelson, the New Letters
Table of contents
Nelson
This is a beautiful and informative guidebook and history of Nelson. A captain before he was 21; a household name throughout most of Europe at 39; killed in action just after his 47th birthday; Nelson lived a colourful, crowded and short life. He master-minded some of British history's most resounding victories - at the Nile in 1798, Copenhagen in 1801 and Trafalgar in 1805 - losing an arm and the sight in one eye in the process. He also had a tempestuous and very public love affair with Emma Hamilton, one of the most beautiful women of her day. Affectionate, engaging, a devoted frient and father, he was also ruthless and occasionally even cruel. Uninspiring and less than heroic in his perso...
The Nelson Encyclopedia
Even after two centuries interest in Nelson shows no signs of abating. Indeed, new research continues to reveal previously unsuspected aspects of his life and career; while at the same time hoary old myths, like his wearing a piratical style eye-patch, doggedly persist. In this book an author who is a master of the subject sets out to answer any question about Nelson likely to be raised, either by a casual reference or in a more detailed study of the navy, the wars, or the social history of the period. Entries cover people, ships, places and events associated with the man, and extend to contemporary issues like changing interpretations of his actions and motivation. Arranged alphabetically a...
