From Practice to Theory (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781839755996)

With thousands of shops closing in Britain today, this is the story of a man who made a living by helping retailers open their places of work. Roger Cox was a pioneer in shop siting and development in this country. But when he realised that there were too many of them, he switched his career.

He became a freelance lecturer with the aim of showing that practical skills, allied with business theory, was the key to a students' career success. In his book, Roger tells of his experiences in both retail firms and colleges, many of them comical and thought-provoking. Alongside this, the main family pastime has been world-wide travel, much of it in America. Above all, this is an entertaining read.
