- Mr. memory & other poems / by Levin, Phillis,1954-author.(CARDINAL)770402;
"An intimate, richly textured new collection from Phillis Levin, a poet whose work "shimmers with gracefulness" (David Baker) Phillis Levin's fifth collection of poems encompasses a wide array of styles and voices while staying true to a visionary impulse sparked as much by the smallest detail as the most sublime landscape. From expansive meditation to haiku, in ode and epistle, dream sequence and elegy, Levin's new poems explore motifs deeply social and historical, personal and metaphysical. Their various strategies deploy the sonic powers of lyric, the montage techniques of cinema, and the atavistic energies of the oral tradition. Throughout this volume, the singularity of person, place, and thing--and the plurality of our experience--assert their uncanny presence: an ash on a crackling log, a character from Alfred Hitchcock's The 39 Steps, a burgundy scarf, an x-ray of Bruegel's "Massacre of the Innocents," and a demitasse cup from Dresden are all woven into a collection by turns rhapsodic and ironic, caustic and incantatory. The pre-Socratic mathematician Zeno facing the riddle of an ordinary day; a cloudbank of silence; a pair of second-hand shoes bought for Anne Frank; two crows at play above the peak of a mountain; a dot flickering on the horizon: intimate and philosophical, these poems unveil the metamorphic properties of mind and nature"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 75-77).

- Aristotle and an aardvark go to Washington : understanding political doublespeak through philosophy and jokes / by Cathcart, Thomas,1940-(CARDINAL)481836; Klein, Daniel M.,1939-(CARDINAL)515101;
The tricky talk strategy: Misleading with doublespeak -- The "So's you mother" strategy: Misleading by getting personal -- The fancy footwork strategy: Misleading with informal fallacies -- The Star Trek strategy: Misleading by creating an alternate universe -- Extra credit: Misleading with way twisty formal fallacies -- The debates: Misleading by fabrication (ours).Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein, authors of the national bestseller Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar, aren?t falling for any election year claptrapānd they don?t want their readers to either! In Aristotle and an Aardvark Go to Washington, our two favorite philosopher-comedians return just in time to save us from the double-speak, flim-flam, and alternate reality of politics in America. Deploying jokes and cartoon as well as the occasional insight from Aristotle and his peers, Cathcart and Klein explain what politicos are up to when they state: ?The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.? (Donald Rumsfeld), ?It depends on what the meaning of the word īs? is.? (Bill Clinton), or even, ?We hold these truths to be self-evident?? (Thomas Jefferson, et al). Drawing from the pronouncements of everyone from Caesar to Condoleeza Rice, Genghis Kahn to Hillary Clinton, and Adolf Hitler to Al Sharpton. Cathcart and Klein help us learn to identify tricks such as ?The Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy? (non causa pro causa) and the ?The Fallacy Fallacy? (argumentum and logicam). Aristotle and an Aardvark is for anyone who ever felt like the politicos and pundits were speaking Greek. At least Cathcart and Klein provide the Latin name for it (raudatio publica)!

- Outmarket the competition : advanced marketing tactics to drive growth and profitability / by Doyle, Nick,Author(DLC)nb2013017913;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 241-249) and index.The ultimate marketing strategy to help SMB companies break sales plateaus and beat the competition. Sooner or later, every SMB (small and medium-sized business) hits a sales plateau or runs into significant competition. Even after tapping into all the mainstream channels and executing the best practices, these SMBs can't increase sales--their channels and budgets are maxed out. To meet today's challenges, SMB chief executives and senior marketers need to recalculate their budgets, rethink their strategies, and revolutionize their internal systems. In his book, marketing expert Nick Doyle offers what he calls the "Five-Tactic Marketing Framework," which unifies brand marketing, performance marketing, integrated campaigns, AI technologies, and lifetime value analytics. Doyle demonstrates that these tools are effective when deployed in isolation but really excel when deployed simultaneously. You will learn to recalculate marketing budgets to reflect the realities of customer lifetime value; select channels and maximize efficiencies for integrated performance marketing campaigns; deploy AI and machine learning tools to enhance efficiency, performance, and insights; beat the competition and grow market share! If deployed well, with the right strategy, these tactics can mark a watershed moment in the growth of an SMB company--one of expanded reach, optimized spending, and maximized profits. .
