Insidious Valour

Insidious Valour

Daniel Munro

Daniel Munro

An unregistered cargo vessel. One mutilated corpse. An uprising against the European alliance. The harshest of winters has relentlessly battered what remains of Penbrook Vineyard, and Ryan Field is clinging to his last thread of sanity. It's not only the structural decay that weighs down on his conscious but the target on his people's backs. A Bullseye that he created. One radio call looks to relieve him of that burden - or is it yet another vow in the growing list of broken promises? In Rennes, Lieutenant Adam Harper has the chance to put the ghosts that haunt him to rest, though this means having to leave the French stronghold and those he swore to protect. While his heart is on keeping his word to Ryan, it's his mind that tells him to finish the war before it comes for them...A war that'll be defined by his choices.

Joe Gould's Secret

Joe Gould's Secret

Joseph Mitchell

Nonfiction

Now a major motion picture starring Ian Holm, Hope Davis, and Stanley Tucci, who also directs.Joseph Mitchell was a legendary New Yorker writer and the author of the national bestseller Up in the Old Hotel, in which these two pieces appeared. What Joseph Mitchell wrote about, principally, was New York. In Joe Gould, Mitchell found the perfect subject. And Joe Gould's Secret has become a legendary piece of New York history.Joe Gould may have been the quintessential Greenwich Village bohemian. In 1916, he left behind patrician roots for a scrappy, hand-to-mouth existence: he wore ragtag clothes, slept in Bowery flophouses, and mooched food, drinks, and money off of friends and strangers. Thus he was able to devote his energies to writing "An Oral History of Our Time," which Gould said would constitute "the informal history of the shirt-sleeved multitude." But when Joe Gould died in 1957, the manuscript could not be found. Where had he hidden it? This is Joe Gould's Secret. "[Mitchell is] one of our finest journalists."--Dawn Powell, The Washington Post "What people say is history--Joe Gould was right about that-- and history, when recorded by Mitchell, is literature."--The New Criterion

Building Strong Brands

Building Strong Brands

David A. Aaker

David A. Aaker

As industries turn increasingly hostile, it is clear that strong brand-building skills are needed to survive and prosper. In David Aaker's pathbreaking book, Managing Brand Equity, managers discovered the value of a brand as a strategic asset and a company's primary source of competitive advantage. Now, in this compelling new work, Aaker uses real brand-building cases from Saturn, General Electric, Kodak, Healthy Choice, McDonald's, and others to demonstrate how strong brands have been created and managed. A common pitfall of brand strategists is to focus on brand attributes. Aaker shows how to break out of the box by considering emotional and self-expressive benefits and by introducing the brand-as-person, brand-as-organization, and brand-as-symbol perspectives. The twin concepts of brand identity (the brand image that brand strategists aspire to create or maintain) and brand position (that part of the brand identity that is to be actively communicated) play a key...
