"Pearls and Pebbles; or, Notes of an Old Naturalist" is a recollection of memories by the English author Catherine Parr Traill. She states in the preface that, "Although I lived the first few years of my childhood at Stowe House, near Bungay, in the lovely valley of the Waveney, most of my young life was spent at Reydon Hall, an old Elizabethan mansion in the eastern part of the county of Suffolk, and within easy walk of the sea-coast town of Southwold, now a much more frequented seaside resort than in former days. Business or pleasure often led us to the town, and the beach was a great attraction and source of pleasure to my sisters and myself. We loved to watch the advance and recoil of the waves, the busy fishermen among their nets and boats, and the groups of happy children on the sands; but there was a greater fascination still to us in the search for treasures left by the flood-tide or cast upon the shore by the ever restless waves. Sometimes there was little to reward the seekers, but hope was ever before us, and the finding of shining stones—red, yellow and white—bits of jet or amber, a shell or lovely sea-weed, to be deposited in bag or basket, would send us home jubilant to add to the hoarded store of fossils and other garnered treasures, or to show to the dear mother, who would turn the treasures over and say with a smile, "Let me see what precious pearls my Katie has found among her many pebbles hardly worth bringing home.""

Ambition, Aspiration and Wishful thinking alone does not ensure success to a corporate manager or entrepreneur unless backed by hard work and knowledge gained from personal experience or learning from shared experiences. Any qualifying degree in management, engineering, science etc is just a passport to enter into an organisation as a rough stone falls into a river water, over a period by induction, training and organisational exposure, and peer group interaction becomes a soft and well-rounded pebble that aspires to become a petal attracting attention from professional groups, soon a higher responsibility in a functional area adores. “A Rose is a Rose call it by any other name” Mr. Manager, wouldn’t you like to brand one yourself? In everyone’s life’s there comes a phase of self-actualisation by virtue of gaining pearls of wisdom, wealth, honour societal recognition. Similarly all successful corporate managers enjoy the same as pearl after two stages of transformation - pebbles and petals. Now what’s in store for an entrepreneur? Though an entrepreneur faces several functional challenges like production, marketing, finance, HR etc but after the two stages of struggle and success as pebble and petal, one is sure to enjoy the fruits of labour. He gains not only pearls of wisdom, power, position and wealth in abundance opening channels for vertical and horizontal growth opportunities etc. The author in his creative mood covered the contents to give an overview of several management topics with personal anecdotes and success stories. This edition will surely self-help, improve performance and make one a leader. Good Luck

Man has been intrigued by the origin of pearls, sensitive to their beauty, and convinced of their medicinal value for at least 5 cent. A mixture of folklore and observation preceded the earliest scientific inquiries. Fishing and trade commenced in S. Asia, between India and Sri Lanka and around the Persian Gulf. In W. and Central Europe, Inner Asia and China, and N. Amer. Freshwater pearls were probably known and treasured before those of marine origin. A refined nomenclature points to a long familiarity with etymologically related words for 'pearl'. Pearls were prominent among the luxury products of world trade and were high among the objectives of expeditions to the eastern and western Tropics. Illustrations.
