Positiverosity
David Fox-Pitt MBE is a born motivator who has been enthusing and inspiring people for over thirty years. Fox-Pitt is passionate about making a difference. The staggering impact of his adventure challenge business, WildFox Events Ltd, is testament to this and has so far raised over AGBP40 million for charity world-wide, all from the family base in the Scottish Highlands. He likes to tempt people to surpass their own expectations as they take part in his events and he leads by example by pushing himself - in 2019 he cycled from Land's End to John O' Groats on a Penny Farthing. Afterwards he admitted it was one of the toughest challenges he'd ever undertaken. Why the Penny Farthing? "e;...because it makes people smile"e;. Positiverosity(R) is David's word for positive energy combined with a generous spirit and is the core value behind his motivational programmes davidfoxpitt.club
The New Capitalists
Thanks to the rise of mutual funds and retirement plans, the actual owners of the world’s corporate giants are no longer a few wealthy families. Rather, they’re the huge majority of working people who have their pensions and life savings invested in shares of today’s largest companies. These grassroots owners have ideas about value that differ from those of tycoons or Wall Street traders. And corporate directors and executives are coming under increasing pressure to respond. The New Capitalists provides examples—from GE to Disney to British Petroleum—of enterprises whose shareholders have recently wielded their control in ways unimaginable just several years ago. Authors Stephen Da...

What They Do With Your Money
Each year we pay billions in fees to those who run our financial system. The money comes from our bank accounts, our pensions, our borrowing, and often we aren’t told that the money has been taken. These billions may be justified if the finance industry does a good job, but as this book shows, it too often fails us. Financial institutions regularly place their business interests first, charging for advice that does nothing to improve performance, employing short-term buying strategies that are corrosive to building long-term value, and sometimes even concealing both their practices and their investment strategies from investors. In their previous prizewinning book, The New Capitalists, the...
Chasing Clayoquot
First published in 2004, and now with a new introduction by the author and a foreword by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this book of natural history, environmentalism, and politics explores one of the Earth's last primeval places: Clayoquot Sound. Pitt-Brooke takes the reader on 12 journeys, one for each month of the year. Each journey covers the outstanding natural event of that season, such as whale-watching in April, shorebird migration in May, and the salmon spawn in October.
