|rating=4

|summary=One morning Ray Barron Woolford watched as a smartly-dressed young man foraged in waste bins for food, less than a mile from the riches of the City of London. Intrigued as to what was going on he went to ask. The man explained to him that he'd just got a job after two years of being unemployed, but it would be five weeks before he was paid. He couldn't claim benefits as he was in work and had no savings, so the bins had to be his source of food and by the following week he would have to walk to work as he couldn't afford the fares. That was the inspiration for the [http://www.wecarefoodbanks.co.uk/ We Care Food Bank].

|summary=Most people will recognise the now-infamous Bernie Madoff and Allen Stanford as crooks who swindled thousands of investors of their hard-earned savings but at one time these individuals had gained stellar reputations in the financial world. In fact Madoff was a former chairman of NASDAQ (originally the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations - now the second-largest stock market comparing to official stock exchanges by market capitalization in the world) and well respected. He’s currently serving 150 in prison for running a 65 billion dollar Ponzi scheme, whilst Stanford was sentenced to 110 years for the same offence. How did they get away with it? This book will tell you how.

~~|title=The Reality Test: Still Relying on Strategy?~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Business and Finance~~

|summary=If you are in business the chances are that you know there are areas in which you need help, or - at the very least - could improve. Sometimes it's quite difficult to quantify ''where'' you need the help, but you're probably quite sure about what you ''don't'' need and that's best summed up as too much science, jargon you don't understand or anything that you have to wade through to come up with the conclusion that you were doing it roughly right in the first place. A good starting point is a book which you can dip into as you need and which edges your thinking into areas it's not been into for a while.
