Why do leaders fail ethically? In this book, Terry L. Price applies
a multi-disciplinary approach to an understanding of immorality in
the public, private, and non-profit sectors. He argues that leaders
can know that a certain kind of behavior is generally required by
morality but nonetheless be mistaken as to whether the relevant
moral requirement applies to them in a particular situation and
whether others are protected by this requirement. Price articulates
how leaders make exceptions of themselves, explains how the
justificatory force of leadership gives rise to such
exception-making, and develops normative prescriptions that leaders
should adopt as a response to this feature of their moral
psychology.

and his brother are left to return home each day from primary

high above showing love to their two children. That is until his
father begins an affair. Then things go from bad to worse. An
acrimonious divorce, and health problems conspire against him, and
his world falls apart. Made homeless by his own mother, Terry
struggles to sort his life out. Friends offer temporary shelter,

angry with his family and bitter at the world. Latchkey Boy is the
true story of a neglected child. It gives a vivid insight into his
early life, and is a clear and frank account of a miserable
childhood that almost ended in tragedy.

When the first inhabitants of Great Bridge established a settlement
on the West Bromwich side of the River Tame, near to an ancient
crossing into Tipton in about 1550, they could not have foreseen
its future prominence as an important centre of commerce in the
West Midlands. Who can forget the enormous variety of locally owned
shops, each having their own individual character? Memories abound
of the Open Market, Peter Bonaccorsi's icecream, 'The Queens' fish
and chip shop, dancing at 'The Stampede' and of course the Palace
Cinema where you were invited to 'Bring your Alice to our Palace'.
Local author and historian Terry Price presents his third pictorial
record of Great Bridge and the surrounding areas of Golds Hill,
Greets Green, Horseley Heath, Swan Village and Toll End, depicting
people, places and social events during the last century. More than
300 photographs, mostly from unpublished private collections,
together with the author's informative captions paint a fascinating
picture of local life in those far-off halcyon days.
Once known as 'the Chicago of the Midlands', in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries West Bromwich was a renowned industrial town of
a thousand trades without equal. Its bustling High Street also
offered a range of goods and services which were unsurpassed
anywhere in the Black Country, a reputation which can still evoke a
sense of passion and pride among local residents when remembering
'the good old days'. Many townspeople still eagerly recall those
long summer days and evening spent attending the many and varied
events held in the extremely popular Dartmouth Park, as well as a
weekly visit to any one of the eleven cinemas which operated within
the town centre and outer suburbs. Rekindle those lost memories
once again by joining West Bromwich-born author and local historian
Terry Price for another nostalgic walk down memory lane in this,
his third collection of almost 400 old photographs depicting
people, scenes and events in all parts of the borough over the last
100 years.
FROM a few Anglo-Saxon hamlets set in a mostly agricultural
landscape, to the industrial revolution of the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries, West Bromwich gradually developed into one of
the most successful and prosperous towns in the Black Country. The
resultant vast and diverse array of privately owned shops, together
with innumerable and wide-ranging leisure activities evoke fond
memories of a bygone age in present-day residents. Moments in the
life of West Bromwich born Hollywood actress Madeleine Carroll are
also recalled in a photographic tribute to her film career and
hitherto little-known humanitarian work. Relive those golden
memories in this second selection of old West Bromwich photographs
compiled by local author and historian Terry Price, who takes
another nostalgic look at shops, street scenes, schooldays and
social activities in all parts of the borough during the last
century. Almost 400 photographs, the majority coming from private
unpublished collections, combined with the author's informative
captions, are sure to delight long-established residents and
newcomers alike.
During the latter part of the eighteenth century West Bromwich was
mainly rural and sparsely populated. The area currently occupied by
the High Street from Dartmouth Square to Carters Green was then
little more than open heathland, giving no indication of the
premier shopping centre it was later to become. The famous 'Golden
Mile' High Street that evolved around 150 years ago has changed in
character quite dramatically within living memory, as indeed have
many of the surrounding districts of the town. Most people will
have treasured memories of long-gone delights such as Trow's
Ice-Cream parlour, Chad's Fish & Chips, the Adelphi Ballroom
and, of course, the luxurious Tower Cinema with its double seats -
specially designed for courting couples. These changes and the
social activities of local people in all parts of the borough
during the last century are nostalgically recalled here in a
collection of over 300 photographs compiled by West Bromwich-born
author and historian Terry Price, with the majority of the material
originating from his own and other private collections.
