Following the tremendous popular success of Jane Eyre, which earned her lifelong notoriety as a moral revolutionary, Charlotte Brontë vowed to write a sweeping social chronicle that focused on “something real and unromantic as Monday morning.” Set in the industrializing England of the Napoleonic wars and Luddite revolts of 1811-12, Shirley (1849) is the story of two contrasting heroines. One is the shy Caroline Helstone, who is trapped in the oppressive atmosphere of a Yorkshire rectory and whose bare life symbolizes the plight of single women in the nineteenth century. The other is the vivacious Shirley Keeldar, who inherits a local estate and whose wealth liberates her from convention.A work that combines social commentary with the more private preoccupations of Jane Eyre, Shirley demonstrates the full range of Brontë’s literary talent. “Shirley is a revolutionary novel,” wrote Brontë biographer Lyndall Gordon. “Shirley follows Jane Eyre as a new exemplar–but so much a forerunner of the feminist of the later twentieth century that it is hard to believe in her actual existence in 1811-12. She is a theoretic possibility: what a woman might be if she combined independence and means of her own with intellect. Charlotte Brontë imagined a new form of power, equal to that of men, in a confident young woman whose] extraordinary freedom has accustomed her to think for herself….Shirley

In The Republican Noise Machine, David Brock skillfully documents perhaps the most important but least understood political development of the last thirty years: how the Republican Right has won political power and hijacked public discourse in the United States.Brock, a former right-wing insider and the author of the New York Times bestseller Blinded by the Right, uses his keen understanding of the strategies, tactics, financing, and personalities of the American right wing to demonstrate how the once-fringe phenomenon of right-wing media has all but subsumed the regular media conversation, shaped the national consciousness, and turned American politics sharply to the right.Brock documents how in the last several decades the GOP built a powerful media machine–newspapers and magazines, think tanks, talk radio networks, op-ed columnists, the FOX News Channel, Christian Right broadcasting, book publishers, and high-traffic internet sites–to sell conservatism to the public and discredit its opponents. This unabashedly biased multibillion-dollar communications empire disregards journalistic ethics and universal standards of fairness and accuracy, manufacturing “news” that is often bought and paid for by a tight network of corporate-backed foundations and old family fortunes. By dissecting the appeal, techniques, and reach of the booming right-wing media market, Brock demonstrates that it is largely based on bigotry, ignorance, and emotional manipulation closely tied to America?s longstanding cultural divisions and the buying power of anti-intellectual traditionalists. From the disputed 2000 presidential election to the war with Iraq to the political battles of 2004, Brock’s penetrating analysis of right-wing media theories and methodology reveals that the Republican Right views the media as an extension of a broader struggle for political power. By tracing the political impact of right-wing media, Brock shows how disproportionate conservative influence in the media is integrally linked to the Republican Right?s current domination of all three branches of government, to the propping up of the Bush administration, and to the inability of Democrats to voice their opposition to this political sea change or to compete on an even playing field.As only an ex-conservative intimately familiar with the imperatives of the American right wing could, David Brock suggests ways in which concerned Americans can begin to redress the conservative ascendancy and cut through the propagandistic fog. Writing with verve and deep insight, he reaches far beyond typical bromides about media bias to produce an invaluable account of the rise of right-wing media and its political consequences. Promising to be the political book of the year, The Republican Noise Machine will transform the raging yet heretofore unsatisfying debate over the politics of the media for years to come.From the Hardcover edition.

In the first five seconds of your first contact with a person or business, a perception forms in your mind: This ‘perception of a difference’ forms without your conscious knowledge or control and affects your relationship with that person or business from that point on. If the perception is positive you may agree to a sales appointment or may walk into the business and perhaps buy something. If the perception is negative, you will avoid further contact and do business with them only if they are the sole source for what you need. This book is the first in a series of three volumes, concerning the power of perceptions in our lives and how they affect our personal and business endeavors. This first volume begins with an illustration of ‘The Business Arch’ showing all the functions that exist in any business operation, as blocks in an arch. Each chapter shows why a weakness in any functional block, weakens, endangers the business as a whole. Trust is the Keystone of the business arch. The book includes true stories written in the first person conversational mode. The result is interesting and easy to read. The book is a powerful learning experience; the learning takes place as you relate to the people and situations in the stories. The stories educate the reader on the practical effect of the perception of a difference on all aspects of business or organizational relationships. You discover the five distinct steps involved in every purchase decision — invaluable information for sellers of all types of products. The importance of the perception of a difference in marketing is clear as you read the chapters on marketing. Twenty-seven questions that must be answered successfully, to qualify a product or service for success in its planned market, are invaluable to anyone in business or starting a business. The chapters on selling, contrast inside sales, (customer visits the salesperson) versus outside sales (salesperson visits the customer). The stories reveal why successful inside salespeople rarely succeed in outside sales, and why those who do succeed in both are often in real estate or similar industries. Sales techniques are shown when used in a story, but they are not emphasized in this book. Practical tools, like time and territory management are presented in an understandable way. Customer Care, education after the sale, is emphasized in each chapter. The experiences of the many people, in the stories, drive home the fact that the care the customer will receive, after the sale, must be demonstrated during the selling process. It is demonstrated in all the little things the sales team does; that though the sales person may be the one most visible, no one sells alone; others are essential to the sale and to customer care afterwards.
