Much more than just a memoir, this is Richard Branson`s own take on his extraordinary life so far - and a definitive business guide that reveals his unique philosophy on commerce, success and life. Richard looks back on how Virgin grew from a mail-order music business into the global brand it is today, and how, rather like his balloon flights, the years have been as much about endurance and survival as they have been about runaway success.

Joseph Paxton’s Crystal Palace, the Palais des Machines by Ferdinand Dutert and Pennsylvania Station by McKim, Mead and White are three of the grandest and most innovative buildings of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These structures – with their innovative approaches to design and the use of new technology – paved the way for the modern architectural movement, but sadly no longer survive. Their destruction was irreparable and in stark contrast to the self-confidence of the original climate in which they were designed.
