When Sandi Webster and Peggy McHale, racially-mixed business partners, set out to launch their own consulting company in 2002, they had years of corporate experience and plenty of research to guide their way. But none of it prepared them for the difficulties of landing their first paying client, hiring the right staffers, or the downside-yes downside-of their company hitting the million-dollar level. Through lots of trial-and error, they persevered and took notes! Now Sandi and Peggy have gathered 52 of their most valuable nuggets designed to answer all of the questions entrepreneurs and small business owners ask: Should you share every detail about the company finances with your team? How do you recognize a partnership that's gone bad-and get out of it?How do you keep a business going in a failing economy? Can you really have a multi-million dollar business and work from home? In this brutally honest look at the daily trials and tribulations of being a small business owner, Sandi and Peggy tackle motivational, financial and social topics with their own personal spin on how all three impacted their consulting business. Their story of how they made the shift from the corporate world to entrepreneurial success will make you laugh at some situations and nod your head in acknowledgment at others. You'll leave knowing that you are not alone and maybe you too will find some gold at the end of the road.

This is the forgotten story of the million white Europeans, snatched from their homes and taken in chains to the great slave markets of North Africa to be sold to the highest bidder. Ignored by their own governments, and forced to endure the harshest of conditions, very few lived to tell the tale. Using the firsthand testimony of a Cornish cabin boy named Thomas Pellow, Giles Milton vividly reconstructs a disturbing, little known chapter of history. Pellow was bought by the tyrannical sultan of Morocco who was constructing an imperial pleasure palace of enormous scale and grandeur, built entirely by Christian slave labour. As his personal slave, he would witness first-hand the barbaric splendour of the imperial court, as well as experience the daily terror of a cruel regime. Gripping, immaculately researched, and brilliantly realised, WHITE GOLD reveals an explosive chapter of popular history, told with all the pace and verve of one of our finest historians.

South Africa's history stretches back to the beginnings of human existence. This book provides an overview to South Africa's multiple millennia of history, covering its long and often troubled past to its current status in the 21st century. A newly revised and thoroughly updated version of a popular Greenwood publication, The History of South Africa: Second Edition provides readers with readable, accessible information on the nation's prehistory, early history and colonial past, its unfortunate apartheid era, as well as new coverage of South Africa's more recent events in the 20th and 21st centuries. This work presents unique, extended coverage of South Africa's prehistory, beginning 3.5 million years ago and incorporating information gleaned from the most recent archaeological finds. The text reflects the most current historiography on African settlement and life before the arrival of Europeans, accurately describes the colonial era as a period of European hegemony and intense African resistance, and discusses in great detail the apartheid years and the events leading up to majority rule in 1994. This second edition also includes an updated timeline, new biographical sketches of notable people, and supplies recent print and electronic resources in the bibliography.
