How to Steal Fire

The Myths of Creativity Exposed, The Truths of Creativity Explained

By: Stephen Bayley,Roger Mavity

________ ‘Promises to show readers how to think boldly and spark imaginative thought’ (FT) ________ Creativity is a powerful force. It drives innovation, boosts our economy and enables us to fulfil our human potential. But what actually is creativity? Is it overrated? And where exactly do ideas come from in the first place? In this book, design gurus Stephen Bayley and Roger Mavity debunk the myths and common misconceptions that form our current thinking around this complex subject. In showing readers how to think boldly and remain undaunted by challenges, they examine the phenomenon from all sides: not only the creativity of invention and of imagination but also that of perception and of discovery, in order to reveal the truths we often overlook. Ultimately, How to Steal Fire will help you reclaim yourself from the anonymous dreariness of a data-driven culture and spark imaginative thought.

Life's a Pitch

How to Sell Yourself and Your Brilliant Ideas

By: Stephen Bayley,Roger Mavity

The pitch is the absolute essence of modern business. Ideas are the most valuable commodity in the modern economy and it is human skill which develops them. However the skills of the pitch are not only relevant to the world of business, rather they apply to just about every significant personal transaction in your life... So whether at a sales conference in corporate conference room hell or over lunch at a glamorous restaurant, Life's a Pitch tells you how to handle human transactions. A pitch is not a meeting, it's a drama. A pitch is not about transferring information, it's about transferring power. It is business, but it is also theatre. Part inspirational manual for business, part guidebook to a successful and happy social life, Life's a Pitch is written as the result of an accumulated half century of (mostly successful) pitching by the authors. Ground-breaking and genre-busting, it will transform the way you think about the art of persuasion for ever.

Chronic Muscle Spasm and Pain

Discoveries in the Etiology, Identification and Treatment of Chronic Muscle Spasm and Resultant Chronic Pain

By: Roger H. Coletti MD, FACC, FASNC, FSCAI

Chronic Muscle Spasm and Pain: Discoveries in the Etiology, Identification and Treatment of Chronic Muscle Spasm and Resultant Chronic Pain By: Roger H. Coletti, MD, FACC, FASNC, FSCAI As an interventional cardiologist Dr. Roger H. Coletti recognized the true nature of atrophic myofibers described in biopsies harvested from horses suffering spams syndrome: that they were not "denervated muscle fibers", but "hibernating skeletal muscle fibers", which can become triggers for chronic pain. These new concepts explain why treating chronic muscle spasm in skeletal muscles with BOTOX or other pharmacological inhibitors of neuromuscular synaptic function which includes phenoxybenzamine, can relieve muscle spasm and pain. In this book there is much more compelling evidence of the true nature of simple muscle atrophy in case of muscle spasm, and on the progressive clarification of diagnosis and treatment of chronic cases of low back pain induced by muscle spasms. His experience is based on well over 200 patients, a population that provides strong preliminary data useful for independent confirmation of his new concepts and management of chronic low back pain and chronic pain from other sites associated with chronic muscle spasm.

Beyond Mammoth Cave

A Tale of Obsession in the World's Longest Cave

By: James D. Borden,Roger W. Brucker

The big cave sucked us in," write Borden and Brucker, and so begins their account (told in alternating first-person chapters) of the roles they played in extending Kentucky's Mammoth Cave from 144 miles in 1972 to over 300 miles in 1983. Generously illustrated with drawings and maps, their tale is both a history of spelunking and an underground adventure--for the non-claustrophobic--complete with competitive rivalries and physical peril. A sequel to The longest cave, by Brucker and Richard Watson (1973). Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Terence

The Man Who Invented Design

By: Roger Mavity,Stephen Bayley

Bayley, the author of books on style, design and taste, tells the Habitat story with his customary polycultural panache . . . [Mavity is] good at conveying the experience of being in a room with Conran' Sunday Times Terence Conran, a visionary and a myopic. A design entrepreneur and imaginative restaurateur, he was a democratising idealist who was also a selfish hedonist. His influence is everywhere in modern Britain from where we live to what we eat. Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most definitive, intimate and revelatory biography of this design legend, by two of his closest collaborators, Roger Mavity and Stephen Bayley. Frank, amusing, indiscreet, sharp, rude, respectful and knowing, it tells Terence's story as it evolved, from before Habitat's humble chicken brick to Bibendum's sophisticated poulet de Bresse, via personal successes and corporate calamities, culminating in that peculiar temple to the religion he invented: The Design Museum. It celebrates Terence's genius and immeasurable impact on British life - and ensures his rightful status as national treasure. Terence: The Man Who Invented Design is the most candid, up-close insight into the man and myth.
