Описание: First published in 1995. Geoffrey Crossick and Heinz-Gerhard Haupt provide a major overview of the social, economic, cultural and political development of the petite bourgeoisie in eighteenth-, nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Europe. Through comparative analysis the authors examine issues such as the centrality of small enterprise to industrial change, the importance of family and locality to the petit-bourgeois world, the search for stability and status, and the associated political move to the right. This title will be of interest to students of history.
Описание: A collection of essays representing forty-five years of reflection on the central problems of southern history bound together by a common concern with defining the crucial interaction of race and class in the formation of southern politics and life. “The tourist archipelagoes of my South / are prisons, too, corruptible” writes the poet Derek Walcott. While Walcott refers to the islands of the Caribbean, the analogous idea of a land made into solitary islands by an imprisoned and inherited corruption is historian J. Mills Thornton III’s American South. The captivating essays in Archipelagoes of My South: Episodes in the Shaping of a Region, 1830–1965 address this overarching and underlying narrative of Alabama politics and the history of the South. Highlighting events as significant as the role of social and economic conflict in the southern secession movement, various aspects of Reconstruction, and the role of the Ku Klux Klan in the politics of the 1920s, Thornton draws from various points in the southern past in an effort to identify and understand the sources of the region’s power. Moreover, each essay investigates its subject matter and peels back layers with an aim to clarify why the enormous diversity of the southern experience makes that power so great, all the while allowing the reader to see connections that would not otherwise be apparent. Archipelagoes of My South gathers previously uncollected essays into a single volume covering the entire length and breadth of Thornton’s career. The author’s principal concerns have always been the arc of regional evolution and the significance of the local. Thus, the mechanisms of political and social change and the interrelationships across eras and generations are recurring themes in many of these essays. Even those who have spent their entire lives in the South may be unaware of the fractured layers of history that lie beneath the landscape they inhabit. For those southern residents who seek to comprehend more of their own past, this landmark compilation of essays on Alabama and southern history endeavors to provide illumination and enlightenment.
Conflict, domination, violence—in this wide-ranging, briskly narrated volume from acclaimed Mexican historian Carlos Illades, these three phenomena register the pulse of a diverse, but inequitable and discriminatory, social order. Drawing on rich and varied historical sources, Illades guides the reader through seven signal episodes in Mexican social history, from rebellions under Porfirio D?az’s dictatorship to the cycles of violence that have plagued the country’s deep south to the recent emergence of neo-anarchist movements. Taken together, they comprise a mosaic history of power and resistance, with artisans, rural communities, revolutionaries, students, and ordinary people confronting the forces of domination and transforming Mexican society.
Disruption is everywhere. A new technology makes all previous solutions obsolete in the blink of an eye. Competition enchants your prospects and customers with the promise of a superior offer. Pandemic and panic drove humanity indoors and sent all companies back to the drawing board. Civil unrest across countries and clashes between cultures reshape budgets and distort sales cycles.
For enterprise salespeople, these challenges alter your job forever. Most are struggling to establish a new way to prospect, progress deals, negotiate, write contracts, and close sales. In Magical Selling, successful global sales leader Raju Bhupatiraju introduces an all-weather system that allows salespeople to see with clarity, adapt to change, achieve goals predictably, and thrive while others chase the "wait till things are back to normal" illusion. You'll learn how to:
Identify winnable, high-value prospects quicker
Think like an investor to spend your time and effort wisely
Double (or triple) your conversion rate
Propel your career in the age of virtual selling
Make winning a habit
Unlike typical sales advice that is anecdotal, light on detail, and not applicable to most situations, Magical Selling is based on first principles and is written as an enterprise sales textbook with a unique level of depth, complexity, and relevance that enables readers to apply what they read to their unique situation with ease.
Whether you drive new business for a startup or manage sales teams at an established corporation, whether you work in a high-growth environment or are rebuilding an underperforming territory, whether you live in North America or Asia Pacific, Magical Selling shows you the new way to engineer enterprise sales success.
