Is marketing in crisis? Some commentators have contended that
marketing principles no longer appear relevant to the "real world"
of marketing managers. The foremost figures in the field are
marketing's most outspoken critics rather than disseminators of the
marketing message. Indeed, a number of noted academic authorities
have announced nothing less than "the end of marketing". While such
apocalyptic sentiments are very much in keeping with our degraded,
post-modern, pre-millenial times, the present volume of essays
examines the extent to which the end of marketing "is" nigh. The
authors explore the present state of marketing scholarship and put
forward a variety of visions of marketing in the 21st century.
Ranging from narratology to feminism, these suggestions aim to
enlighten, provoke and occasionally outrage.

Four of the big-screen 'Star Trek' spin-offs featuring the crew of 'The Next Generation'. In 'Generations' (1994), Captain James T Kirk (William Shatner) reluctantly comes out of retirement to attend the launch of the 'Enterprise B'. When the ship attempts to rescue two cargo ships trapped in a strange electrical field, part of its structure is shorn away - taking Kirk with it.
78 years later, 'Enterprise D' captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) is mourning the deaths of his brother and nephew when he is called to investigate an attack on the Amagosa Observatory. The culprits turn out to be Picard's old adversaries, renegade Klingons Lursa and B'Etor, allied with sinister El Aurian scientist Dr Soran (Malcolm McDowell). Soran was amongst those rescued by the 'Enterprise B', and is now desperate to return to the energy field - called the Nexus - which claimed Kirk's life.
When Picard himself enters the Nexus, a historic encounter results. In 'First Contact' (1996), Captain Jean-Luc Picard, once assimilated by the alien Borg, now senses that they are about to return. He is proved correct when the Collective engages the Enterprise E in battle, only to escape through a temporal vortex into the Earth's past. Picard and his crew glimpse an alternative Earth which is dominated by the Borg and, in an attempt to find out how the Borg have altered the timeline, follow them back to the year 2063, one day before Zefram Cochran (James Cromwell) made the first warp drive journey. It was this event that attracted the attention of some passing Vulcans and established Earth's 'first contact' with alien life. While Riker (Jonathan Frakes) leads an away team to prevent the Borg from tampering with the Earth's history, Picard must repel a Borg invasion of the Enterprise.
In 'Insurrection' (1998), a Federation team are unobtrusively observing life on the remarkable world of Ba'ku, where 600 peaceful inhabitants enjoy the planet's youth-preserving qualities. However, forces within the alliance want to repatriate the population so that the planet's resources can be exploited more intensively. Captain Jean-Luc Picard leads his crew in an effort to protect Ba'ku's residents and thereby honour the Federation's Prime Directive: non-intervention in the development of other civilisations.
'Nemesis' (2002) is the tenth instalment in the 'Star Trek' film series. When Picard and the crew discover a disassembled prototype of their android colleague Data (Brent Spiner) on a distant planet, they take the parts back to the Enterprise and attempt to put them back together. Meanwhile, news arrives that the new Romulan leader Shinzon (Tom Hardy) wants to restore relations with the United Federation of Planets and Picard is sent to negotiate.
When Picard arrives, he uncovers a shocking truth about Shinzon's connection to himself, and unearths a sinister plot to destroy the Earth.
The contributors to this book explore the role and importance of
qualitative, interpretist research in the dynamic field of
enterprise. They establish the link between the innovative nature
of small enterprise and the need to utilise research methodologies,
which are themselves innovative. The book highlights the fact that
enterprise research has the advantage of sufficient youth as a
research discipline to permit a wide scope for new and innovative
research studies. Probing this unexplored terrain therefore
requires exploratory research methods supported by inductive
research techniques. These methods and techniques are examined in
detail: topics covered are diverse, ranging from a review of
quantitative research methodologies and the integration of
methodological philosophies and approaches; to the application of
two novel analytical techniques. Convergent interviewing, action
research, case research and marketing research for isolated SMEs
are all also explored in depth. This book will provide academics,
researchers and students with a cohesive body of material on the
use of interpretist research techniques in all areas of enterprise
research.

Rabbi Gershon Winkler's travels in New Mexico brought him in
contact with the nations of the Dineh, the Jicarilla Apache, the
Walatowa, and the Zia, and he began to recover piecemeal the long
lost wisdom of what he terms "Aboriginal Judaism". Winkler came to
understand deeply why the ancient Hebrew word for "wilderness",
mid'bar, means "that which resonates", and he began to understand
the earth-based significance of his own Jewish traditional
ceremonies, rediscovering the continuing vital stream of shamanic
teachings in ancient Jewish texts.

Professional Risk and Working with People provides advice on
assessing and managing risks for all those employed to take risks
with or on behalf of other people. The authors explore issues of
risk assessment and management that provides readers with a broad
knowledge of risk practices that can be applied across a range of
disciplines. They detail the benefits of risk as well as the
potential harm and explain relevant legislation and concepts of
negligence in clear and accessible language. Examples of risk
policies, systems and effective judgement in managing complex risk
decisions are also included. In the current climate of blame and
readiness to pursue legal action against professionals, this book
will prove essential reading for all practitioners who come into
contact with risk, including doctors and other health and care
professionals, probation officers and social workers. Leaders of
professional courses and their students will also find this an
invaluable guide.
