Phoenix Assurance and the Development of British Insurance: Volume 2, The Era of the Insurance Giants 1870-1984
This is the second and final volume of the business history of one of the UK's oldest and largest insurance offices, based upon probably the best archive in the business. This volume covers the period from 1870 to the absorption of the Phoenix by Sun Alliance (now Royal and Sun Alliance) in 1984. The Phoenix papers are used to analyse the triumphs and trials, not only of a single insurance venture, but of an entire financial sector in a notably turbulent century. Insurance is concerned with the way people drive, the way they retire, or buy their houses, or invest, or educate their children, or go to war. It follows that a major insurance history also throws light on many aspects of modern British social history. As the great composite offices expanded to offer fire, accident, marine, and life insurance across a single 'counter', so they caught within their dealings an increasingly representative slice of British commercial and social life.

Paul & Mary
"Paul and Mary...Tea for Two!" is a memoir of Paul Kennedy and Mary Ryan who met as school children in the 1920's. They eloped to Canada in 1929 and had a family of eight children over 22 years. They survived World War I, The Crash of 1929, The Great Depression, World War II, The Baby Boom, Korean War, the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties, and for Mary the New Millennium. They met with historical crises and personal tragedies bolstered by their faith in God, love of Family, and undaunted work ethic. Married for fifty five years they left an indelible mark on this world bequeathing the heart and soul of humanity to their offspring. Do not pray for easy lives! Pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work will not need a miracle but You shall be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself and the richness of life that comes in you by the grace of God. Phillips Brooks, 1925

And still, the Crewes' killer has not been found.Combining gripping narrative, detailed research and striking new testimony from those who were there, this book tells the complete story of the case for the first time.
