<p>Why do leaders fail ethically? In this book, Terry L. Price uses a multi-disciplinary approach to an understanding of immorality in the public, private, and non-profit sectors. He argues that leaders can know that a certain kind of behavior is generally required by morality but still be mistaken as to whether the relevant moral requirement applies to them in a particular situation and whether others are protected by this requirement. Price demonstrates how leaders make exceptions of themselves, explains how the justificatory force of leadership gives rise to such exception-making, and develops normative protocols that leaders should adopt.</p>

<p>During the latter part of the eighteenth century West Bromwich was mainly rural and sparsely populated. The area currently occupied by the High Street from Dartmouth Square to Carters Green was then little more than open heathland, giving no indication of the premier shopping centre it was later to become. The famous ‘Golden Mile’ High Street that evolved around 150 years ago has changed in character quite dramatically within living memory, as indeed have many of the surrounding districts of the town. Most people will have treasured memories of long-gone delights such as Trow’s Ice-Cream parlor, Chad’s Fish &amp; Chips, the Adelphi Ballroom and, of course, the luxurious Tower Cinema with its double seats – specially designed for courting couples. These changes and the social activities of local people in all parts of the borough during the last century are nostalgically recalled here in a collection of over 300 photographs compiled by West Bromwich-born author and historian Terry Price, with the majority of the material originating from his own and other private collections.</p>

From a few Anglo-Saxon hamlets set in a mostly agricultural landscape, to the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, West Bromwich gradually developed into one of the most successful and prosperous towns in the Black Country. The resultant vast and diverse array of privately owned shops, together with innumerable and wide-ranging leisure activities evoke fond memories of a bygone age in present-day residents. Moments in the life of West Bromwich born Hollywood actress Madeleine Carroll are also recalled in a photographic tribute to her film career and hitherto little-known humanitarian work. Relive those golden memories in this second selection of old West Bromwich photographs compiled by local author and historian Terry Price, who takes another nostalgic look at shops, street scenes, schooldays and social activities in all parts of the borough during the last century. Almost 400 photographs, the majority coming from private unpublished collections, combined with the author’s informative captions, are sure to delight long-established residents and newcomers alike.
