Paperback. Condición: Good. Be it a wrong turn, a bad relationship, a debilitating illness or a war, every action creates a reaction, every move is followed by another move. How do we get out of what we've gotten ourselves into? Granta 118 zooms in close on the phenomenon of the exit strategy. In a new story, Alice Munro writes of an elderly woman whose attempts to care for her husband are undermined by her own deteriorating thought processes; Claire Messud searches for her father's past in Beirut, Lebanon as he lays dying in a hospital in the US; and Aleksandar Hemon remembers the importance of smuggling his family's dog out of war-torn Sarajevo. Exit Strategies also features new writing by John Barth, Gish Jen, Ann Beattie, and newcomer Chinelo Okparanta - examining how we get ourselves out and the repercussions that follow. Hindsight is 20/20, but it's what we do moving forward that defines us and - in the best of all worlds - redeems us.…

Hardback. Condición: Good. Most executives believe that winning and keeping customers requires offering something unique. But as physical products are seen as increasingly hard to differentiate, companies resort to branding, gimmicks, and "thinking outside the box." Meanwhile, customers are less satisfied than they were a decade ago. Patrick Barwise and Sean Meehan argue that most companies have taken differentiation so far that they've left their customers behind. Customers don't want bells and whistles and don't care about trivial differences between brands. What they really want are quality products, reliable services, and fair value for money. Yet most companies consistently fail to meet these basic customer needs. Simply Better is a no-nonsense, back-to-basics manifesto for today's businesses. Barwise and Meehan argue that successful differentiation lies not in unique selling propositions, but in generic category benefits, such as good service, on-time delivery, and quality products, that any company can provide. The key is to deliver these consistently better than competitors. Illustrating this customer-focused differentiation through vivid examples of companies, including Toyota, P&G, Hilti, Tesco, and Ryanair, Simply Better outlines an actionable framework managers can use to: * Understand what customers really value and why they buy the brands they do * Discover basic, unmet needs ripe for reliable solutions * Channel customer dissatisfaction into performance improvements * Balance in-the-box thinking in strategy and innovation with out-of-the-box thinking in advertising and communications * Create a learning culture that continuously responds to changing customer needs While being unique might be exciting and appealing, it doesn't drive business success. Simply Better shows how meeting and exceeding the most ordinary of customer expectations can lead to extraordinary--and lasting--rewards.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The end of the Mayan calendar is fast approaching. Learn what you need to know to survive the great cataclysm of 2012. In his previous book, The Orion Prophecy, author Geryl theorises that the lost civilisation of Atlantis was destroyed by a huge cataclysm engendered by changes in sunspot activity affecting Earth's magnetic poles and atmosphere. All of this was predicted by the Mayan Calendar, translated in hindsight. Here he continues his discussion of the Mayan calendar and the fairly well-known fact that it is generally interpreted to end in 2012. He believes that the knowledge that can save the world from the cataclysm of 2012 can be excavated from The Labyrinth of ancient Egypt, a storehouse of Atlantean knowledge which is linked in prophecy to the Mayan predictions. The mathematics and astronomy of the ancient Egyptians and Mayans are related and have similar predictive power and should be taken very seriously.…

Just as when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son Jesus at the precise moment in history to perfectly fulfill God's plan of Salvation and spread the Gospel throughout the world, at the End of the Age everything will fall into place correctly to set the stage for the Anti-Christ and his New World Order.
