The small or mid-sized business' guide to outselling the big
boysOften, small or mid-sized businesses don't think they have the
resources or the talent to compete with the larger competitors in
their industry. But just because they don't have the advertising
budgets or purchasing power of their bigger counterparts doesn't
mean they can't play ball. For sales organizations, service matters
much more than size.If your sales business is competing with much
bigger fish, the odds are stacked against you. Pressured and
powerless, frustrated and overwhelmed, you might be tempted to give
up. But smaller businesses often find advantages over their bigger
competitors. - Includes proven tactics to help small businesses
tackle bigger competitors - Author William T. Brooks is also the
author of "The New Science of Selling" "and Persuasion" and "How to
Sell at Higher Margins Than Your Competitors" - Shows you how to
steal market share from bigger vendors with bigger resourcesJust
because your business can't flood the market with salespeople or
contend on economy of scale and purchasing power, that doesn't mean
you can't compete. The secret is "Playing Bigger Than You Are."""
Detroit has come to symbolise deindustrialization and the
challenges, and opportunities, it presents. As many cities struggle
with urban decline, racial and ethnic tensions and the consequences
of neoliberal governance and political fragmentation, Detroit's
relevance grows stronger. Why Detroit Matters bridges academic and
non-academic responses to this extreme example of a fractured and
divided, post-industrial city. Contributions from many of the
leading scholars on Detroit are joined by influential writers,
planners, artists and activists who have contributed chapters
drawing on their experiences and ideas. The book concludes with
interviews with some of the city's most important visionaries who
are engaged in inspiring practices which provide powerful lessons
for Detroit and other cities around the world. The book will be a
valuable reference for scholars, practitioners and students from
across disciplines including geography, planning, architecture,
sociology, urban studies, history, American studies, and economics.

While browsing a Stonington, Maine, bookstore, Brooke Williams
and Terry Tempest Williams discovered a rare copy of an exquisite
autobiography by nineteenth-century British nature writer Richard
Jefferies, who develops his understanding of a "soul-life" while
wandering the wild countryside of Wiltshire, England. Brooke and
Terry, like John Fowles, Henry Miller, and Rachel Carson before,
were inspired by the prescient words of this visionary writer, who
describes ineffable feelings of being at one with nature. In an
introduction and essays set alongside Jefferies' writing, the
Williams share their personal pilgrimage to Wiltshire to understand
this man of "cosmic consciousness" and how their exploration of
Jefferies deepened their own relationship while illuminating
dilemmas of modernity, the intrinsic need for wildness, and what it
means to be human in the twenty-first century.
Terry Tempest Williams is the author of fourteen books including
"Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place" and "When Women
Were Birds." Recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, she
teaches at Dartmouth and the University of Utah where she is the
Annie Clark Tanner scholar in the environmental humanities graduate
program. Her work has been anthologized and translated
worldwide.
Brooke Williams has spent thirty years advocating for wildness,
most recently with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance and as
executive director of the Murie Center in Moose, Wyoming. He is the
author of four books including "Halflives: Reconciling Work and
Wildness," and dozens of articles. Brooke and Terry have been
married since 1975. They live with their dogs in Jackson, Wyoming,
and Castle Valley, Utah.

Francisco Chronicle"
