Marketing for scientists : how to shine in tough times / by Kuchner, Marc J.,1972-(CARDINAL)316696;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 219-224) and index.Business -- The fundamental theorem of marketing -- How to sell something -- Building relationships -- Branding -- Archetypes -- The consumers of science -- Our products : how we get job offers and funding -- Writing proposals and making figures -- Papers and conferences -- Giving talks -- Internet and e-mail marketing -- The general public and the government -- How to market science itself -- Starting a movement -- Take-home marketing tips for scientists."It's a tough time to be a scientist: universities are shuttering science departments, federal agencies are facing flat budgets, and many newspapers have dropped their science sections. But according to Marc Kuchner, this anti-science climate doesn't have to equal a career death knell-it just means scientists have to be savvier about promoting their work and themselves. In Marketing for Scientists, he provides clear, detailed advice about how to land a good job, win funding, and shape the public debate. Kuchner presents methods for building relationships and branding yourself effectively-how to get articles published, use social media, and impress potential employers and funders. Marketing for Scientists distills the strategies needed to keep pace in a Web 2.0 world"--"It's a tough time to be a scientist: universities are shuttering science departments, federal funding agencies are facing flat budgets, and many newspapers have dropped their science sections altogether. But according to Marc Kuchner, this antiscience climate doesn't have to equal a career death knell-it just means scientists have to be savvier about promoting their work and themselves. In Marketing for Scientists, he provides clear, detailed advice about how to land a good job, win funding, and shape the public debate. As an astrophysicist at NASA, Kuchner knows that "marketing" can seem like a superficial distraction, whether your daily work is searching for new planets or seeking a cure for cancer. In fact, he argues, it's a critical component of the modern scientific endeavor, not only advancing personal careers but also society's knowledge. Kuchner approaches marketing as a science in itself. He translates theories about human interaction and sense of self into methods for building relationships-one of the most critical skills in any profession. And he explains how to brand yourself effectively-how to get articles published, give compelling presentations, use social media like Facebook and Twitter, and impress potential employers and funders. Like any good scientist, Kuchner bases his conclusions on years of study and experimentation. In Marketing for Scientists, he distills the strategies needed to keep pace in a Web 2.0 world. "--

Three bags full / by Swann, Leonie,1975-author.(CARDINAL)691325; Bell, Anthea,translator.(CARDINAL)509723; Finn, A. J.,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)352045;
"Something is not right with George the shepherd. His sheep have gathered around him on a hill outside the cozy Irish village of Glennkill to assess the situation. George has cared for the sheep, reading them books every night, and now he lies pinned to the ground with a spade. His flock, far savvier about the workings of the human mind than your average sheep, set out to find George's killer, led by Miss Maple, the smartest sheep in Glennkill (and possibly the world). Her team of investigators includes Othello, the "bad-boy" of the group; Mopple the Whale, a merino who eats a lot and remembers everything; and Zora, a thoughtful, if gloomy, ewe-just to name a few. Together, the sheep engage in nightlong discussions about the crime, and their speculations vary wildly. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, they embark on furtive missions into the village, where they encounter some likely two-legged suspects. There's Ham, the terrifying butcher; Rebecca, the secretive village newcomer; Gabriel, the shady shepherd of a strange flock; and Father Will, a sinister priest. With wit and heart, this clever international bestseller is a mystery to chew on-and savor. This twentieth-anniversary deluxe paperback features a Foreword by A. J. Finn, discussion questions, and more"--

Declaring his genius : Oscar Wilde in North America / by Morris, Roy,Jr.(CARDINAL)367157;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 215-231) and index.Too too utterly utter -- More wonderful than Dickens -- Those who dawnce don't dine -- What would Thoreau have said to my hatbox? -- No well-behaved river ought to act this way -- A very Italy, without its art -- Don't shoot the pianist, he is doing his best -- You should have seen it before the war -- The Oscar of the first period is dead."Arriving at the port of New York in 1882, a 27-year-old Oscar Wilde quipped he had 'nothing to declare but my genius.' But as Roy Morris, Jr., reveals in this sparkling narrative, Wilde was, for the first time in his life, underselling himself. A chronicle of the sensation that was Wilde's eleven-month speaking tour of America, Declaring His Genius offers an indelible portrait of both Oscar Wilde and the Gilded Age. Wilde covered 15,000 miles, delivered 140 lectures, and met everyone who was anyone. Dressed in satin knee britches and black silk stockings, the long-haired apostle of the British Aesthetic Movement alternately shocked, entertained, and enlightened a spellbound nation. Harvard students attending one of his lectures sported Wildean costume, clutching sunflowers and affecting world-weary poses. Denver prostitutes enticed customers by crying: 'We know what makes a cat wild, but what makes Oscar Wilde?' Whitman hoisted a glass to his health, while Ambrose Bierce denounced him as a fraud. Wilde helped alter the way post-Civil War Americans--still reeling from the most destructive conflict in their history--understood themselves. In an era that saw rapid technological changes, social upheaval, and an ever-widening gap between rich and poor, he delivered a powerful anti-materialistic message about art and the need for beauty. Yet Wilde too was changed by his tour. Having conquered America, a savvier, more mature writer was ready to take on the rest of the world. Neither Wilde nor America would ever be the same"--Publisher description.

What works for women at work : four patterns working women need to know / by Williams, Joan,1952-(CARDINAL)420749; Dempsey, Rachel.(CARDINAL)404911;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 339-347) and index."An essential resource for any working woman, What Works for Women at Work is a comprehensive and insightful guide for mastering office politics as a woman. Authored by Joan C. Williams, one of the nation's most-cited experts on women and work, and her daughter, writer Rachel Dempsey, this unique book offers a multi-generational perspective into the realities of today's workplace. Often women receive messages that they have only themselves to blame for failing to get ahead--Negotiate more! Stop being such a wimp! Stop being such a witch! What Works for Women at Work tells women it's not their fault. The simple fact is that office politics often benefits men over women. Based on interviews with 127 successful working women, over half of them women of color, What Works for Women at Work presents a toolkit for getting ahead in today's workplace. Distilling over 35 years of research, Williams and Dempsey offer four crisp patterns that affect working women: Prove-It-Again!, the Tightrope, the Maternal Wall, and the Tug of War. Each represents different challenges and requires different strategies--which is why women need to be savvier than men to survive and thrive in high-powered careers. Williams and Dempsey's analysis of working women is nuanced and in-depth, going far beyond the traditional cookie-cutter, one-size-fits-all approaches of most career guides for women. Throughout the book, they weave real-life anecdotes from the women they interviewed, along with quick kernels of advice like a "New Girl Action Plan," ways to "Take Care of Yourself", and even "Comeback Lines" for dealing with sexual harassment and other difficult situations. Up-beat, pragmatic, and chock full of advice, What Works for Women at Work is an indispensable guide for working women. "--Provided by publisher.
