  The story of British luxury interiors brand House of Hackney’s regenerative journey—and what every business and consumer can learn from it. 
   
  ‘Creativity with purpose, integrity in action, compassion for people and planet means working with Nature as our partner.’ 
   
  In the Company of Nature is the story of British interiors brand, House of Hackney’s regenerative journey to put Nature and our Future Generations at the heart of their business. Founded by Frieda Gormley, with her husband Javvy M Royle, Nature had always been their design muse but they came to realize that Nature needed to be even more central to their business – and lives. What started as a design brand became the framework for something far greater: a journey into how beauty, creativity and business itself might serve life, with Nature as its core. 
   
  The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how a SME (small and medium-sized enterprise), which makes up 99.9 per cent of all businesses, can be a catalyst for change and collectively bring about cultural, political and economic transformation. The opportunity for business to help solve some of the greatest crises of our time is immense. Business is one of the most powerful levers we have – to model change, to demonstrate new ways of being and doing that honours all life, and to use the influence of brand to shift the cultural narrative. 
   
  Underlying this call-to-action is Frieda’s powerful vision for humankind as part of Nature, not separate from it, regenerating, not extracting.

  Nightfly - The Life of Steely...

  Donald Fagen will forever be associated with Steely Dan, the band he formed with Walter Becker and four other musicians in 1972. 
   
   
   
  The smooth, radio-friendly veneer of the duo's songs made Steely Dan internationally popular and famous in the 1970s, but the polish glossed over the underlying layers of anger, disappointment, sleaze, and often downright weirdness lurking just beneath the surface. The elliptical lyrics were—and continue to be—an endless source of fascination. What kind of person was capable of writing such songs? 
   
   
   
  Fagen has always kept his true self hidden behind walls of irony, confounding most journalistic enquiries with a mixture of obscurity and sarcasm. Nightfly cracks open the door to reveal the life behind the lyrics and traces Fagen's story from early family life in suburban New Jersey, to his first encounter with Walter Becker at Bard College, their long struggle for recognition as songwriters, and the formation of Steely Dan. The band's break-up in 1981, reformation in 1993, and Fagen's parallel solo career are covered in detail.
