As the world changes around them, a family weathers the storms of growing up, growing older, falling in and out of love, losing the things that are most precious – and learning to go on.
April 5th, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, troubled husband and wife, are both a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, has created a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house – and whose departure threatens to break the family apart. And then there is Nathan, age ten, taking his first uncertain steps toward independence, while Violet, five, does her best not to notice the growing rift between her parents.
April 5th, 2020: As the world goes into lockdown the brownstone is feeling more like a prison. Violet is terrified of leaving the windows open, obsessed with keeping her family safe. Isabel and Dan circle each other warily, communicating mostly in veiled jabs and frustrated sighs. And beloved Robbie is stranded in Iceland, alone in a mountain cabin with nothing but his thoughts – and his secret Instagram life – for company.
April 5th, 2021: Emerging from the worst of the crisis, the family comes together to reckon with a new, very different reality – with what they’ve learned, what they’ve lost, and how they might go on.
From the brilliant mind of Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Cunningham, Day is a searing, exquisitely crafted meditation on love and loss, and the struggles and limitations of family life – how to live together and apart, and maybe even escape the marriage plot entirely.

Much like its muddy riverbanks, the mid-South is flooded with tales
of shadowy spirits lurking among us. Beyond the rhythm of the blues
and tapping of blue suede shoes is a history steeped in horror.
From the restless souls of Elmwood Cemetery to the voodoo vices of
Beale Street, phantom hymns of the Orpheum Theatre and Civil War
soldiers still looking for a fight, peer beyond the shadows of the
city's most historic sites.
Author and lifelong resident Laura Cunningham expertly blends
fright with history and presents the ghostly legends from Beale to
Bartlett, Germantown to Collierville, in this one-of-a-kind volume

There are a number of misconceptions about marketing. Many assume
that it focuses on simply communicating the product or service the
organisation offers through activities like advertising. Marketing
is far more complex than this. It is a vital activity for the
success of any organisation. How do consumers become aware of
products and services? How do they know which product or service is
right for them? How do organisations know which products and
services their consumers would like to buy? The answer is through
the organisation's marketing efforts. This means that if the
marketing activity is not included at the beginning of the process,
the organisation may end up developing a product or service and
communicating about it in a way that does not resonate with its
target audience. This will have a serious impact on the
organisation's success. The marketing world is continuously
changing and Introduction to marketing addresses these changes by
discussing core concepts like understanding the environment that
the organisation operates in, analysing their competition,
understanding how consumers make decisions, conducting marketing
research, applying segmentation, targeting and positioning, the
process of developing and making decisions around products,
managing services, marketing channels, retailing, pricing,
promotions, branding, integrating communication efforts,
business-to-business marketing, marketing metrics, international
marketing and ethical considerations. These topics are fundamental
to any marketing professional or academic. The second edition of
this textbook provides updated discussions, examples and scenarios
that marketers are currently facing.

Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.

Today, companies are competing on a daily basis for their
consumers' attention and spending power. This has become
increasingly difficult as new companies enter the marketplace
offering the same or very similar products and services, making it
difficult for consumers to differentiate between them. To overcome
this, companies use branding to create a favourable and memorable
perception in the mind of consumers. However, not all companies
manage to achieve this, as brand management is an intricate
process. Brand management provides a comprehensive understanding of
brand management by detailing how branding can be used to develop
favourable brand equity. Brand management is unique among other
textbooks of its kind in that it provides a southern African
perspective but compares it with other contexts, thereby presenting
a more comprehensive explanation of brand management and its
importance. Each chapter consists of various examples as well as a
scenario or case study, applying every element of the theory. Brand
management is aimed at undergraduate marketing students.

South African organisations operate in an environment that is fast
changing due to digital advancement,economic challenges, social
complexities, and changing employee and customer
values/expectations. In this environment, successful organisations
empower talented employees to work in teams and make pivotal
decisions that lead to innovation and exceptionally high
performance. Success for these organisations is not by chance but
is the result of adopting carefully planned and sophisticated
interventions into the organisational structure, leadership and
management orientations, culture, and processes and behaviours. In
this respect, Organisational behaviour: a contemporary South
African perspective provides a solid and scientific foundation for
developing an integrated and holistic understanding of the
individual and group processes in the modern organisation.
Organisational behaviour explores expectations that organisations
and employees have of each other. It addresses contemporary issues
related to organisational culture, change, engagement, performance
excellence, changing communication technology, transformational and
authentic leadership, diversity, business ethics, team excellence
and globalisation. It contains many encounters, discussion
questions, practical exercises and case studies with a southern
African orientation to stimulate self-study, debate and reflective
thinking. Organisational behaviour is aimed not only at aspiring HR
practitioners and managers, but also at established professionals
who need to stay updated, irrespective of their field and nature of
their organisation.
Compelling and engaging, this Handbook on Shrinking Cities
addresses the fundamentals of shrinkage, exploring its causal
factors, the ways in which planning strategies and policies are
steered, and innovative solutions for revitalising shrinking
cities. It analyses the multidimensional phenomena involved in
processes of shrinkage, where cities experience a dramatic decline
in their economic and social bases. Offering a timely response to
the endurance of decline in cities across the globe, contributions
from top scholars showcase a wide range of perspectives on the
ongoing challenges of shrinkage. Chapters cover topics of
'governance', 'greening' and 'right-sizing', and 'regrowth', laying
the relevant groundwork for the Handbook's proposals for dealing
with shrinkage in the age of COVID-19 and beyond. Leading experts
in the fields of urban and regional development contribute novel
ideas pertinent to the future of shrinking cities, considering
factors such as economic prosperity, liveability, social stability,
and innovation, ultimately representing a paradigmatic shift from
growth-centred planning to the notion of 'shrinking sustainably'.
In suggesting strategies to reverse decline and generate newer,
more robust development, this prescient Handbook will prove
beneficial to scholars of human geography and urban planning. The
wide range of case studies will also make this a vital read for
planning practitioners.
