Book Strong Brands  Strong Relationships

Download or read book Strong Brands Strong Relationships written by Susan Fournier and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-12 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the editor team of the ground-breaking Consumer-Brand Relationships: Theory and Practice comes this new volume. Strong Brands, Strong Relationships is a collection of innovative research and management insights that build upon the foundations of the first book, but takes the study of brand relationships outside of traditional realms by applying new theoretical frameworks and considering new contexts. The result is an expanded and better-informed account of people’s relationships with brands and a demonstration of the important and timely implications of this evolving sub-discipline. A range of different brand relationship environments are explored in the collection, including: online digital spaces, consumer collectives, global brands, luxury brands, branding in terrorist organizations, and the brand relationships of men and transient consumers. This book attends to relationship endings as well as their beginnings, providing a full life-cycle perspective. While the first volume focused on positive relationship benefits, this collection explores dysfunctional dynamics, adversarial and politically-charged relationships, and those that are harmful to well-being. Evocative constructs are leveraged, including secrets, betrayals, anthropomorphism, lying, infidelity, retaliation, and bereavement. The curated collection provides both a deeper theoretical understanding of brand relationship phenomena and ideas for practical application from experiments and execution in commercial practice. Strong Brands, Strong Relationships will be the perfect read for marketing faculty and graduate students interested in branding dynamics, as well as managers responsible for stewarding brands.

Book Pinkerton s Great Detective

Download or read book Pinkerton s Great Detective written by Beau Riffenburgh and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2013-11-14 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the legendary Pinkerton detective who took down the Molly Maguires and the Wild Bunch The operatives of the Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency were renowned for their skills of subterfuge, infiltration, and investigation, none more so than James McParland. So thrilling were McParland’s cases that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle included the cunning detective in a story along with Sherlock Holmes. Riffenburgh digs deep into the recently released Pinkerton archives to present the first biography of McParland and the agency’s cloak-and-dagger methods. Both action packed and meticulously researched, Pinkerton’s Great Detective brings readers along on McParland’s most challenging cases: from young McParland’s infiltration of the murderous Molly Maguires gang in the case that launched his career to his hunt for the notorious Butch Cassidy and the Wild Bunch to his controversial investigation of the Western Federation of Mines in the assassination of Idaho’s former governor. Filled with outlaws and criminals, detectives and lawmen, Pinkerton’s Great Detective shines a light upon the celebrated secretive agency and its premier sleuth.

Book Soixante neuf 69

    Book Details:
  • Author : Agent Provocateur,
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2014-02-10
  • ISBN : 9782849332887
  • Pages : 400 pages

Download or read book Soixante neuf 69 written by Agent Provocateur, and published by . This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Agent provocateur est tout d'abord un florilège de nouvelles érotiques écrites en grandes majorité par des femmes. Il s'agit, la plupart du temps, d'épisodes brefs de la vie amoureuse, d'aventures fugaces où sont évoqués les états d'âme et de corps sous l'emprise du pulsions irrésistibles. Toutes les formes et tous les accomplissements des désirs les plus extêmes trouvent leurs expression selon un réalisme qui ne se voile pas la face. Avec un luxe de détails psychologiques et physiques, les fantasmes les plus singuliers et les passions exacerbées sont offerts au regard étonné. Souvent, selon la règle du genre, le divin marquis et l'auteur de vénus à la fourrure président aux rites amoureux. L'hypocrisie et le conformisme, sources de lassitude et d'atonie dans la vie du couple, volent en éclats. L'imaginaire stimulé par la description d'ébats sexuels recule les limites du possible. Un lecteur avisé peut tout aussi bien refuser de se laisser prendre aux pièges des mots et des images et garder ses distances en contemplant le spectacle aux effets parfois kaléidoscopiques. Alors le sexe devient objet de littérature. On a parfois l'impression que c'est dans ce sensque l'agent provocateur chargé du fil conducteur perçoit le recueil. Notons enfin les illustrations de David Bray, qui rappellent par leur finesse certaines B.D. japonaises, et la présentation éminemment originale de l'ouvrage : une moitié (la rose) et une autre moitié (la noire) sont disposée tête-bêche, en 69 pour ainsi dire, de sorte qu'il suffit de retourner le livre dans un sens ou dans l'autre pour en commencer la lecture. En un mot une oeuvre d'exception dans tous les sens du terme.

Book Resister

    Book Details:
  • Author : Bruce Dancis
  • Publisher : Cornell University Press
  • Release : 2014-02-25
  • ISBN : 0801470412
  • Pages : 381 pages

Download or read book Resister written by Bruce Dancis and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bruce Dancis arrived at Cornell University in 1965 as a youth who was no stranger to political action. He grew up in a radical household and took part in the 1963 March on Washington as a fifteen-year-old. He became the first student at Cornell to defy the draft by tearing up his draft card and soon became a leader of the draft resistance movement. He also turned down a student deferment and refused induction into the armed services. He was the principal organizer of the first mass draft card burning during the Vietnam War, an activist in the Resistance (a nationwide organization against the draft), and a cofounder and president of the Cornell chapter of Students for a Democratic Society. Dancis spent nineteen months in federal prison in Ashland, Kentucky, for his actions against the draft. In Resister, Dancis not only gives readers an insider's account of the antiwar and student protest movements of the sixties but also provides a rare look at the prison experiences of Vietnam-era draft resisters. Intertwining memory, reflection, and history, Dancis offers an engaging firsthand account of some of the era’s most iconic events, including the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, the Abbie Hoffman-led "hippie invasion" of the New York Stock Exchange, the antiwar confrontation at the Pentagon in 1967, and the dangerous controversy that erupted at Cornell in 1969 involving African American students, their SDS allies, and the administration and faculty. Along the way, Dancis also explores the relationship between the topical folk and rock music of the era and the political and cultural rebels who sought to change American society.

Book Police Intelligence

Download or read book Police Intelligence written by Wayne L. Davis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police Intelligence: Totality of Circumstances is an essential resource and is designed for any individual who may encounter the field of criminal justice, whether the person is a police chief who oversees the department’s standard operating procedures, a police officer who enforces the law, a civilian who is expected to follow the law, a lawyer who may challenge an action in court, or a judge who will interpret the law. This book, in part, applies math and logic to laws and policies to objectively assess them. Laws and policies are written as English logical statements. English logical statements can be converted into mathematical logical statements, which can be objectively assessed via Boolean algebra. Specifically, truth tables, Venn diagrams, flowcharts, logic gates, and logic circuits can all be used to assess laws, policies, and proper police actions. For example, mathematically it is not a glass, blue, marble means almost the exact opposite of it is not glass, not blue, and not marble. In addition, one must consider existential and universal quantifiers, conditional statements, and subsets to correctly interpret laws and policies. Thus, it is important for individuals to understand how to mathematically assess English logical statements (e.g., the law) because if they do not, opponents in court may do it for them. This book is important because collecting and understanding information and effectively communicating are vital skills in law enforcement. It discusses different reference points for assessing good behavior, different lenses of truth, limitations of information, and assumptions. Furthermore, it examines a variety of ways to collect and assess information, which include interrogation techniques, interviewing techniques, an interrogatory and a deposition, ciphering and deciphering messages, body language, handwriting analysis, job interview questions, and crime scene search patterns. The chapters present a methodological reasoning process that is sorely lacking among police agencies— and one that is essential for developing critical thinking skills and carrying out orders within legal confines. Police Intelligence: Totality of Circumstances is an indispensable resource for helping students and officers to collect and assess information. Whether it is verbal or nonverbal information, ciphered messages, or using different bases for numeric communication, individuals in criminal justice should learn to think outside the box to collect and understand available information.

Book Discourses of Service in Shakespeare s England

Download or read book Discourses of Service in Shakespeare s England written by D. Evett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2005-04-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One way and another, nearly all of Shakespeare's countrymen and women (including the playwright himself) spent at least parts of their lives as servants of someone else. But until now that fact has gone largely unregarded. This book remedies the oversight, by showing how the ideals and practices of early modern service affect dozens of characters in almost all the plays, in ways that enrich our understanding of familiar figures like Iago and Falstaff and enhance the significance of lesser-known people and events across the canon. And it introduces an important concept, volitional primacy, into contemporary critical discourse.
