The Character of the Customer

A story from the Method Marketing files of Stan Islavski

By: Bruce Labovitz; Brian Regli, Ph.D.

A typo in a help wanted ad results in Constantin Stanislavski being cast in the role of Marketing Director for a company in transition. Stanislavski, through the contrived alter-ego of Stan Islavski, is tasked by the company’s CEO with using the techniques of his Method to turn around the marketing department and reconnect the company its products and its services with its customers and markets. The one condition of his assignment, however, is that he cannot reveal his true identity until after his team’s new marketing plan is presented to the company’s senior management and board just three months later. Using the principles of his Method Acting technique, Stan sets out to help the company and its cast of characters to find their corporate self and connect it to the actions of the marketplace. Along the way, the managers he is training learn to cope with his digressions, stories and analogies all the while unwittingly learning to apply concepts such as observation, emotion memory and even a little magic to their daily work. In the end, the lesson taught through this creative, humorous and engaging story is that there is a method which can be used as a guide to teach marketing and business professionals the intangible skill of connecting the corporate self with the Character of the Customer.

Business Models for Teams

See How Your Organization Really Works and How Each Person Fits In

By: Tim Clark,Bruce Hazen

Are you frustrated by these common problems? -Lack of a source of motivation common to millennials and boomers alike -Teambuilding exercises that fail to produce lasting results -Groups that isolate themselves in specialty silos -“Job description myopia,” or employee inability see the bigger picture -Organization charts that fail to show how work gets done Business Models for Teams helps you solve these problems. In fact, it may be the last teamwork toolkit you will ever need! Most leaders make the mistake of over-relying on verbal and written communications. But that approach is outmoded in today’s systems-driven world. Using the same visual tools that made Business Model Generation and Business Model You so successful worldwide, Business Models for Teams lets you visually depict how any team really works — and how each person fits in. The Business Models for Teams toolkit provides the missing half of teambuilding, plus a research-based engagement method that works for employees of all ages. You will discover how to fix job-description myopia and how to accurately depict where work truly gets done: in the “white space” of organization charts. Business Models for Teams imparts must-have operating acumen, whether you work in business, government, or the not-for-profit world.

Computer Networks ISE

A Systems Approach

By: Larry L. Peterson,Bruce S. Davie

Computer Networks ISE, Fourth Edition, is the only introductory computer networking book written by authors who have had first-hand experience with many of the protocols discussed in the book, who have actually designed some of them as well, and who are still actively designing the computer networks today. This newly revised edition continues to provide an enduring, practical understanding of networks and their building blocks through rich, example-based instruction. The authors' focus is on the why of network design, not just the specifications comprising today's systems but how key technologies and protocols actually work in the real world to solve specific problems. The new edition makes less use of computer code to explain protocols than earlier editions. Moreover, this new edition shifts the focus somewhat higher in the protocol stack where there is generally more innovative and exciting work going on at the application and session layers than at the link and physical layers. - Completely updated with NEW sidebars discussing successes/failures of previously deployed networks - Thorough companion website with downloadable OpNet network simulation software and lab experiments manual - Expanded coverage of topics of utmost importance to today's networking professionals, e.g., security, wireless, multimedia applications

Valvular Heart Disease

By: Bruce Andrus,John Baldwin

The study of valvular heart disease has progressed rapidly over the past two decades. The understanding of etiology and natural history, the precision of noninvasive assessment, and the surgical and interventional management of valve disease have all improved dramatically. Coupled with an appreciation of physiologic principles, thoughtful interviews and physical exam, current technology allows clinicians to characterize all types of valve lesion. In addition, evolving techniques in interventional cardiology and cardiac surgery, guided by quantitative outcome analysis, have reduced the morbidity and mortality of these procedures. Reflecting all the above and evidence-based medical practice, the authors aim to provide a concise and straightforward guide to the recognition and management of valvular heart disease, complemented by current guidelines and abundant high-quality images. It will be a valuable reference for all involved in the care of patients with valvular heart disease, including cardiologists in practice and training, young hospital doctors, general physicians, cardiac nurse specialists, and medical students.

Epilepsy and Intensive Care Monitoring

Principles and Practice

By: Bruce J Fisch, MD

Unlike many other diagnostic procedures, EEG, now over 80 years old, and epilepsy monitoring, now over 40 years old, have demonstrated their usefulness and stood the test of time. Although the benefits of these diagnostic procedures are clear, monitoring is currently not available to the majority of patients in need. One of the factors limiting broader implementation is the lack of practitioners with special expertise. Epilepsy and Intensive Care Monitoring was developed to address this concern. This practical volume contains detailed chapters covering all areas of clinical epilepsy monitoring. Featuring expert authors from major epilepsy centers, this seminal work reviews all current procedures and applications for monitoring adults and children with epilepsy in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and the ICU. Opening sections are devoted to indications, procedures, administrative considerations, and technical aspects of the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and ICU monitoring, followed by dedicated sections on EEG diagnosis and localization and monitoring of neurological disorders in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and ICU. The book concludes with special procedures and an Appendix with guidelines for organizing epilepsy monitoring centers and technical aspects of EEG monitoring. Key Features include Covers both adult and pediatric Epilepsy Monitoring Unit and ICU monitoring Contains over 235 high-quality EEGs and other illustrations, including an 8-page color section Comprehensive coverage; no other book in this area has comparable breadth and depth Clinical Focus Expert authors tell you when and how to perform the procedures they discuss

Neuropsychology in the Care of People with Epilepsy

By: Christoph Helmstaedter, Bruce Hermann, Maryse Lassonde, Philippe Kahane, Alexis Arzimanoglou

Having appeared in the 1930s in Montreal, standardised neuropsychological evaluation has become an essential tool in the clinical diagnosis and evaluation of surgical epileptic patients. Nevertheless, despite great progress over the last 20 to 30 years in the diagnosis and medical treatment of epilepsy, clinical neuropsychology still remains largely associated with surgical epilepsy, particularly surgery of the temporal lobe. Clinical neurology has still not managed to clear a way in the daily practice with patients with all types of epilepsy despite significant advances in cognitive neuroscience and a large number of clinical studies on epilepsy and cognition. How is it that there are only rarely major advances in the field of clinical neuropsychology? It has long been time for this question to be asked, and for an attempt to be made to bring about changes. This was the aim of the Toronto workshop and the result of this book. Every approach was debated, providing important elements to reflect on and allowing a great forum for exchanges. This book includes the communications from the main participants and comments from some others on specific subjects.

Looking for Bruce Conner

Looking for Bruce Conner

By: Kevin Hatch,Bruce Conner

In a career that spanned five decades, most of them spent in San Francisco, Bruce Conner (1933--2008) produced a unique body of work that refused to be contained by medium or style. Whether making found-footage films, hallucinatory ink-blot graphics, enigmatic collages, or assemblages from castoffs, Conner took up genres as quickly as he abandoned them. His movements within San Francisco's counter-cultural scenes were similarly free-wheeling; at home in beat poetry, punk music, and underground film circles, he never completely belonged to any of them. Bruce Conner belonged to Bruce Conner. Twice he announced his own death; during the last years of his life he produced a series of pseudonymous works after announcing his 'retirement.' In this first book-length study of Conner's enormously influential but insufficiently understood career, Kevin Hatch explores Conner's work as well as his position on the geographical, cultural, and critical margins. Hatch finds a set of abiding concerns that inform Conner's wide-ranging works and changing personas. A deep anxiety pervades the work, reflecting a struggle between private, unknowable, interior experience and a duplicitous world of received images and false appearances. The profane and the sacred, the comic and the tragic, the enigmatic and the universal: each of these antinomies is pushed to the breaking point in Conner's work..."--Publisher's description.

Bruce Nauman -- Raw Materials

By: Emma Dexter

Bruce Nauman (1941 -) is arguably the most influential artist at work in the world today. His pioneering explorations of sculpture, performance, film, video, neon and sound art have seen him investigating areas of art practice years before his peers, providing inspiration for innumerable artistic careers. Nauman has always drawn on a wide range sources for his own work, including the philosophy of Wittgenstein, the music and writings of John Cage, Gestalt Therapy, and literary sources including Alain Robbe-Grillet, Elias Cannetti and Samuel Beckett. He has collaborated with a wide range of film-makers, musicians, dancers and artists including Jasper Johns, Richard Serra, Meredith Monk, Terry Allen and Merce Cunningham. In 1989 he married the artist Susan Rothernberg and moved his home and studio to a ranch in New Mexico, where he indulges an increasingly intense interest in training horses. He has exhibited internationally since the mid 1960s.

The Trials of Lenny Bruce

The Fall and Rise of an American Icon

By: Ronald K. L. Collins,David M. Skover

Lenny Bruce had the power to provoke laughter and delight from the repressed society of the early 1960s. But he also infuriated authorities; his blunt honesty caused him to be arrested and tried for obscenity in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. These trials made history as a challenge to the First Amendment. This ground-breaking biography, told through text and an accompanying audio CD, allows readers to listen to, laugh with and understand the man whose words had the power to provoke laughter and debate -- as well as shock, outrage and arrests. The one-hour audio CD brings Lenny Bruce's voice to you, including his notorious routines and excerpts from the never-before-released secret tapes of his New York obscenity trial. The Trials of Lenny Bruce is the authoritative work on his career and free-speech battles. It paints a vivid, shocking, hilarious portrait of a man too honest for his time. Book jacket.
