The evolution of business history offers some radical ways forward
for a discipline which is rich in potential. This shortform book
offers an expert overview of how the field has relevance for
contemporary business studies as well as the social sciences more
broadly, as well as practitioners interested in historical
perspectives. This book not only provides a comprehensive review of
how the discipline of business history has evolved over the last
century, but it also lays out an agenda for the next decade.
Focusing specifically on the ‘three pillars’ of research,
teaching and practical impact, the authors have outlined how while
the first has flourished across many continents, the latter two are
struggling to overcome significant challenges associated with how
the discipline is perceived, especially in the social sciences. A
solution is proposed that would involve academics working more
closely with practitioners, thereby increasing the discipline’s
credibility across key stakeholders. The work here presented
provides a concise and easily digestible overview of the topic
which will be of interest to scholars, researchers and advanced
students focusing on the evolution of business history and its
impact on the way the world conducts business today.

This thesis was submitted as fulfilment of the requirements for a
Doctor of Philosophy degree. This book chronicles the trials and
tribulations of a Ph.D candidate undergoing research into
centromere biology. Neocentromeres are a quirk of nature and arise
after structural insult to a chromosome and are thought to
contribute to the evolution of species. Neocentromeres are great
models for centromere biology as the underlying DNA sequence is
unique, unlike typical centromeres which are full of repetitive
elements. Therefore, the goal of this thesis was to characterise
and describe the role of DNA methylation in centromere biology.
