There is never a reason why history cannot be reimagined, especially when it relates to the captivating Anne Boleyn. Her enduring popularity as an authorial muse centuries after her death speaks to the air of mystery and intrigue that surrounds her. We all know the real Anne - second wife of Henry VIII, executed at the Tower of London on May 19th, 1536. But what if she had survived? This book steps outside the bounds of history to envision another life Anne might have built for herself - one of commitment, diligence, and success elsewhere. Freed from the shadow of the executioner's sword, she emerges here as a clever, adept woman leading a life she may well have wanted for herself. This is the story of that different Anne Boleyn, showcasing an alternative account of the woman who continues to fascinate the centuries after her untimely end.

Because of their uniqueness, there cannot ever be enough literature on the organisational life of the Small-Medium Enterprise and its employees, wherever their location and whoever they serve. These legal entities contain an extensive array of social interactions as people form teams, work groups and relationships with others, within the confines of the operational environment and their own personal experience of everyday working life. This book is about one such limited company and one individual who helped to form the SME which remained commercially successful in the engineering sector for over 30 years. The working life of the employees in the SME were researched using an ethnographic approach to frame the social and working interactions into Ceremonial Rites. These rites have already been successfully researched by others and the book adds to that body of work. In the book some rites repeat in a similar manner as has already been discovered. The more modern-day organisations may be able to recognise similar emerging or continuing patterns themselves that were found within the results of the study. Other students now have the opportunity to update and extend this work further in their own qualitative research on Small-Medium Enterprises or Organisational Life.
