      This is a special live and impromptu recording between Dr. Stephen R. Covey, best-selling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and his son, best-selling author of The Speed of Trust, Stephen M.R. Covey: A Conversation on Trust. Just like the ripples caused by throwing a pebble in a pond, trust begins within each of us personally, continues into all of our relationships, expands into our organization, extends into our marketplace relationships, and ultimately encompasses our global society at large.

    • Now with a fantastic redesigned cover to tie in with the new Just William BBC television series! "I din' take it," William said. "Ethel took it. She - she sort of can't help herself. I always," he added virtuously, "try'n put back the things she's took." It all started with a rare event: William Brown read a book. And now he feels inspired to save his sister from a life of crime. The road to disaster is paved with William's good intentions. Ethel's behavior has been rather odd—more so than is usual in a girl. But William, the Brown family's moral guardian, is determined to "reform" her—whatever the consequences . . .
