    “A solid overview of both Caldwell’s contributions and the development of the environmental movement in the US . . . . Recommended.” —Choice 
 
This is the story of a visionary leader, Lynton Keith Caldwell, who in the early 1960s introduced the study of the environment and environmental policy at a time when such areas of expertise did not exist. Caldwell was a principal architect of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and is recognized as the “inventor” of the Act’s important environmental impact statement provisions, now emulated around the world. For the next three decades, Caldwell played a leading role in establishing ethics-based environmental policy and administration as major areas of inquiry in the United States and around the world. Through his tireless global travels, writing, and lectures, and his work with the US Senate, the IUCN, UN, and UNESCO, Caldwell became recognized for his contributions to environmental ethics and the development of strong environmental planning and policy. This engrossing biography is based on interviews the author conducted with Caldwell and on unrestricted access to his memorabilia, photos, and records. 
 
“Deeply insightful . . . The field of environmental policy is richer for this addition. —H-Net Reviews

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
 
In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
 
The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
 
Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
 
The Victorian era ceases but England strides on. Confident, bestriding the globe as policeman and enforcer of her Imperial ways.  In literature her authors create majestic works that beguile an ever growing audience that now covers the world.

    TAYLOR MADE 
Life of an Entrepreneur, Mother and Celebrity Event Planner 
Taylor Made tells the fascinating story of Liz Taylor, the unflappable, unstoppable entrepreneur and organiser of some of the biggest and best parties in the world. Respected, renowned and with a famed attention to detail, this formidable organiser of luxury events counts many of her celebrity clients as trusted friends. Over decades her determination and success has attracted the rich and famous together with an eclectic international client base allowing her to travel the world organising some of the most memorable parties imaginable. But behind the glamorous lifestyle, there is a very personal tale of juggling single motherhood, three failed marriages, betrayal, recessions, Covid-19, and the author’s own mental health struggles. It explores how this inspiring woman had the determination to survive, succeed and go on to build an enviable multi-million-pound events empire. 
"There are times when I have to pinch myself. As I stand in Kensington Palace coordinating an event for the future King. And when later Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift take to the stage to sing Livin' on a Prayer with The Prince. Or when I'm ironing Howard Donald's shirt, as the Take That music star practices his wedding speech. Insane moments in a roller coaster life. There is nothing typical about my world. It's a real life told in fabulous, crazy and inspiring memories." 
"When Liz says jump, we all say, 'how high'!" Mark Wright, actor 
"Liz Taylor - simply one of the kindest, funniest, maddest friends I have." Ruth Langsford, TV presenter 
"If you were marooned on a desert island with Liz, she wouldn't build a life raft. You'd have a cruise ship within the hour! Just love her." Catherine Tyldesley, actress
