SUMMARY:TALK: The Mercenary River, with Nick Higham, author and journa
 list
DESCRIPTION:He used to head 'Meet The Author' for the BBC, now you can
  meet the author and journalist Nick Higham at Bruce Castle this comin
 g week to hear more about his new book 'The Mercenary River'.Come and 
 find out about the fascinating story of the over 400 year old New Rive
 r that still runs through Haringey today.How did north London's New Ri
 ver transform the way Londoners lived and the way Britain did business
 ?For centuries London struggled to supply its citizens with reliable, 
 clean water. The Mercenary River tells the story of that struggle from
  the middle ages to the present day.Nick will tell the tale of remarka
 ble technological, scientific and organisational breakthroughs at the 
 time; but also a story of greed and complacency, high finance and low 
 politics.Among the breakthroughs was the picturesque New River, neithe
 r new nor a river but a state of the art aqueduct completed in 1613 an
 d still part of London’s water supply: the company that built it was
  one of the very first modern business corporations, and also one of t
 he most profitable.No need to book, just turn up to hear Nick at 3pm o
 n Thursday 10 November.Signed books will be for sale.\n\nFor more info
