The Penguin Guide to the Railways of Britain (Penguin Handbooks)

Price Waterhouse is one of the oldest established accountancy practices in the world. It is also one of the largest. This history is the story of commercial success: of how a small Victorian City partnership grew, in less than 150 years, to employ more than 50,000 people in 118 countries. Few Victorian partnerships have survived, let alone with their founding principles and ideals still driving the business. True and Fair shows how Price Waterhouse adapted to the changing fortunes of the British and then global economy and a rapidly developing commercial environment. Among the themes discussed are Edwin Waterhouse's unprecedented success in building an audit practice, the internationalisation of the partnership and setting up of an operation in America, the meteoric career of Sir Gilbert Garnsey, a company doctor during the 1920s, the impact of two world wars, the growth of management consultancy, and latterly the firm's involvement in privatisation. This study seeks to explain how Price Waterhouse could remain at the forefront of its profession for over 140 years when so many famous practices have disappeared through amalgamation or take-over. Edgar Jones was granted full access to the firm's archives and has spent over four years researching this exemplary and definitive company history.

True And Fair: The History Of Price Waterhouse

History

Hamish Hamilton

This is the story of a major business enterprise. It describes the transformation of a small partnership, formed in 1759, into an international group, the scale of whose diverse activities has demanded the creation of a multi-divisional structure, supported by many specialist departments. Probably the most longeval of Britain's current manufacturing companies, GKN's history may be interpreted as a unique and revealing insight into Britain's industrial experience over past centuries.

Shell Shock to PTSD: Military Psychiatry from 1900 to the Gulf War

Shell Shock to PTSD (Maudsley Series)

The application of psychiatry to war and terrorism is highly topical and a source of intense media interest. Shell Shock to PTSD explores the central issues involved in maintaining the mental health of the armed forces and treating those who succumb to the intense stress of combat. Drawing on historical records, recent findings and interviews with veterans and psychiatrists, Edgar Jones and Simon Wessely present a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of military psychiatry. The psychological disorders suffered by servicemen and women from 1900 to the present are discussed and related to contemporary medical priorities and health concerns. This book provides a thought-provoking evaluation of the history and practice of military psychiatry, and places its findings in the context of advancing medical knowledge and the developing technology of warfare. It will be of interest to practicing military psychiatrists and those studying psychiatry, military history, war studies or medical history.
