SIDELIGHTS: Geoff Hiscock told CA: "I write about the people in business more than the businesses themselves. I am interested in knowing where they've come from, their family lives, their hobbies and interests, where they want to go. My two books on Asian business people reflect this. I couldn't find this sort of information in reference books, so I put it together myself. I hope other business writers find it useful."
