Publications: Books

All of my books to date have been written in the back study of our family home in Barnes. At least one, The Green Consumer Guide, was written with builders' feet crashing through the ceiling above our heads - Julia (Hailes) and I wrote back to back at that point, with desks facing opposing walls. The books listed here have been categorised under four headings: business; consumer and lifestyle; science and technology; and other. I'm not really sure where the latest book would fall. Written with Pamela Hartigan, Managing Director of The Schwab Foundation (www.schwabfound.org), it is published by Harvard Business School Press [http://www.hbsp.harvard.edu]. The focus this time around is on social and environmental entrepreneurs—and on what they can teach mainstream business people and government policy-makers.
