First Published in 1990. This is a revised and updated second version for English translation from French by Erica E. Long-Michalke. Sugar provides a fascinating example of an international commodity, and this book deals with the history both of a multinational company and of the world sugar economy. It describes the emergence, in the nineteenth century, of the two family companies of Henry Tate and Abram Lyle. By 1914 they were the largest and most prosperous sugar-refining businesses in the British Empire. In 1921 they amalgamated and became after the Second World War pre-eminent in the world sugar economy. The book's final chapter covers the company's most recent acquisitions and demonstrates the management strategy of Tate & Lyle in its relations with the developed and developing worlds.

Two thirds of the world population lies within 60 kilometres of the sea. Much of the well-being of our planet is dependent on the sea, as the bulk of international trade passes across oceans and through ports, while the sea is a rich source of protein and contains profound wealth in terms of energy and natural sources. Inevitably, economic stability and development are therefore closely linked to maritime security. This volume contains a selection of papers presented at an international conference on ?Maritime Security in Southern African Waters? in Stellenbosch on 22-23 July 2008.

Of the wide range and diversity of British products that are now household names, both at home and abroad, the Scots can take pride in the fact that many of them began in Scotland. When people first spread Robertson's Golden Shred Marmalade on their toast, it was by courtesy of Paisley man James Robertson. How would the housewife have thickened her sauce without cornflour, first produced in Paisley by Brown & Polson in 1854? The world's first concentrated fruit drink was Rose's Lime Juice cordial, invented by Leith man, Lachlan Rose; Pringle of Hawick gave the world the first knitted twin-set; J & P Coats of Paisley, whose origins go back to 1830, grew into the largest thread manufacturer in the world, and the UK's number one comic, The Beano, was born in Dundee. Made in Scotland is a fascinating nostalgic journey into the past and a wonderful celebration of Scottish industry. It includes a huge number of black-and-white photographs of the old advertisements, slogans and trademarks of all the products featured: Askit * The Beano * British Caledonian Airways * Brown & Polson * Caithness Glass * Camp Coffee * Coats * Duncan's Chocolates * Drambuie * Forbo-Nairn Linoleum * Gelnfiddich
