Description: Book DescriptionPublished in 1995 (but sold primarily to collectors), this beautiful soft cover art book (with a sewn binding) is now available for the first time through bookstores.

These serigraphs?fine art images on paper using a silkscreen process?are vividly hued with the colors of the most subtle rainbow: blues, greens, mauves. Joseph Dispenza writes, `Doug West captures the state in all its natural glory from towering peaks to long desert stretches.` West?s magnificent skies with voluminous clouds, his arid river banks dotted by native brush, and turn-of-the-day horizons are like no others. Accompanying the twenty-eight color plates in the book are the artist?s reflections about the times and places that inspired each serigraph. This was the first book in the New Mexico Magazine Artist Series. As with the other books in the series, the author provides a detailed… [detailed...]

The Service Profit Chain: How Leading Companies Link Profit and Growth to Loyalty, Satisfaction, and Value

Publisher: —
Description: Why are a select few service firms better at what they do -- year in and year out -- than their competitors? For most senior managers, the profusion of anecdotal `service excellence` books fails to address this key question. In this pathbreaking book, world-renowned Harvard Business School service firm experts James L. Heskett, W. Earl Sasser, Jr. and Leonard A. Schlesinger reveal that leading companies stay on top by managing the service profit chain. Based on five years of painstaking research, the authors show how managers at American Express, Southwest Airlines, Banc One, Waste Management, USAA, MBNA, Intuit, British Airways, Taco Bell, Fairfield Inns, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, and the Merry Maids subsidiary of ServiceMaster employ a quantifiable set of relationships that directly links profit and growth to not only customer loyalty and satisfaction, but to employee loyalty, satisfaction, and productivity.

The Service of Ladies: An Autobiography (First Person Singular) (First Person Singular)

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionUlrich von Liechtenstein`s extraordinary account of his adventures as a knight-errant is one of the most vivid images of chivalric life to have come down to us. His knightly autobiography was written in the mid-thirteenth century, and gives an account of the `journey of Venus` which he undertook in 1226 in honour of his lady, in which he claimed to have broken 307 spears in jousts against all comers in the space of a month. Some of it is obviously quietly exaggerated, written for his friends` entertainment many years later, and he is not above a sly dig at the conventions of courtly love, but he completely accepts its basic ideas. It is full of lively episodes and good stories, as well as verses in honour of his lady, if the tale has beenpolished up for effect, it is nonetheless a thoroughly entertaining account of how a knight saw his ideal career in the jousting field. If the name is unexpectedly familiar to modern readers, it is because it was borrowed by the hero… [detailed...]

The Sespe Wild: Southern California`S Last Free River

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Nevada Press
Description: A hundred miles northwest of Los Angeles, Sespe Creek flows through some of the wildest territory in California. A mostly roadless expanse of chaparral and mixed forest, in many places nearly inaccessible even on foot, the Sespe is the untamed heart of Southern California, a wilderness on the edge of one of the world`s major metropolitan developments. To nature writer and outdoorsman John Bradley Monsma, the Sespe is both his place of escape and the place `that teaches me to be fully alive.` In The Sespe Wild, Monsma shares his exploration of this unique and fantastic region. His attention ranges from the physical Sespe, examined on foot or by kayak, to the subsurface geology that shaped it, the Chumash people who first occupied it, and the impact of Spanish and then American settlers. He also considers the Sespe through the eyes of some of its nonhuman populations--the nearly extinct condors, the vanished grizzlies, the mountain sheep, the steelhead trout, the red-legged… [detailed...]

The Set-Up-to-Fail Syndrome: How Good Managers Cause Great People to Fail

Publisher: —
Description: Does this scenario sound familiar? An employee you manage slips up somehow: a missed deadline, a lost account, or a weak presentation. You decide to oversee that person?s work more closely. After all, if your direct reports aren?t delivering, it?s your head that will roll. To further your frustration, the more you `help,` the worse the employee?s performance becomes. What?s going on? In this eye-opening book, leadership experts Jean-Francois Manzoni and Jean-Louis Barsoux expose a disturbing and surprisingly rampant phenomenon. While common wisdom assumes that so-called poor performers fail in spite of their boss?s best efforts, this book demonstrates exactly the opposite. In many cases, a boss?s attitudes and behaviors actually cause or `set up` certain individuals?including those with great potential?to fail. Based on ten years of study into boss-subordinate relationships, Manzoni and Barsoux show that this… [detailed...]

With the experience gained in recent years from a broad spectrum of successful negotiation, arbitration, and litigation techniques, it is possible to derive a comprehensive, critical survey of the principal methods of settling foreign investment disputes. This outstanding book masterfully provides such a survey. The Settlement of Foreign Investment Disputes in International Law treats the subject systematically, dealing first with the internal balances within modern foreign investment contracts, the complexities that arise due to state participation or interference in these contracts, and the stances that are taken when disputes arise. It goes on to examine, in turn, the main issues involved in negotiation, arbitration, and judicial settlement as the methods of… [detailed...]

The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber: Weimar Berlin`s Priestess of Depravity

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Seven Addictions and Five Professions of Anita Berber is the first contemporary biography of a notorious actor/dancer/poet/playwright who scandalized sex-obsessed Weimar Berlin during the 1920s. In an era where everything was permitted, Anita Berber`s celebrations of `Depravity, Horror and Ecstasy` were condemned and censored. She often haunted Weimar Berlin`s hotel lobbies, nightclubs and casinos, radiantly naked except for an elegant sable wrap, a pet monkey hanging from her neck, and a silver brooch packed with cocaine. Multi-talented Anita saw no boundaries between her personal life and her taboo-shattering performances. As such, she was Europe`s first postmodern woman. Among those Anita Berber claimed as members of her vast sexual harem were Marlene Dietrich, Magnus Hirschfeld (the founder of modern sexology and gay liberation), Klaus Mann, Conrad Veidt, Lawrence Durrell, and the King of Yugoslavia. Berber acted in Fritz Lang`s Dr. Mabuse: The… [detailed...]

The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This remarkable and monumental book at last provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old riddle of whether there are only a small number of `basic stories` in the world. Using a wealth of examples, from ancient myths and folk tales via the plays and novels of great literature to the popular movies and TV soap operas of today, it shows that there are seven archetypal themes which recur throughout every kind of storytelling. But this is only the prelude to an investigation into how and why we are `programmed` to imagine stories in these ways, and how they relate to the inmost patterns of human psychology. Drawing on a vast array of examples, from Proust to detective stories, from the Marquis de Sade to E.T., Christopher Booker then leads us through the extraordinary changes in the nature of storytelling over the past 200 years, and why so many stories have `lost the plot` by losing touch with their underlying archetypal purpose. Booker analyses why evolution has given us the need… [detailed...]
