In the early nineteenth century China remained almost untouched by British and European powers - but as new technology started to change this balance, foreigners gathered like wolves around the weakening Qing Empire. Would the Chinese suffer the fate of much of the rest of the world, carved into pieces by Europeans? Or could they adapt rapidly enough to maintain their independence? This important and compelling book explains the roots of China's complex relationship with the West by illuminating a dramatic, colourful and sometimes shocking period of the country's history.

En esta selección de columnas, escritas a lo largo de más de cinco años, Leila Guerriero, una de las grandes firmas del periodismo narrativo latinoamericano, se coloca a sí misma en su afilado punto de mira. Con una prosa feroz y precisa, la autora bucea en lo sutil para, desde el asombro con el que es capaz de iluminar la realidad cotidiana, alumbrar lo que permanece oculto en todos nosotros. ¿De qué van estos textos? Entre muchas otras cosas, «del tamaño de la aridez de nuestros corazones. De repollos y reyes y de por qué el mar hierve y de si los cerdos tienen alas. Del horror del amor cuando termina. De todas las cosas que estaban hechas para olvidar que no hemos olvidado nunca; de las que estaban hechas para no olvidar jamás».

Srun shows how the psychology of luxury brands truly plays into high value customer motivations and unlocks the potential to understand their decision processes which are unlike that of any other customer.Selling to very wealthy, demanding customers - whether you're selling luxury products or high value bespoke professional services - is a very different process to selling anything else to anyone else.Francis Srun has twenty years experience in the luxury industry, based in France, Switzerland, China and Hong Kong, most recently with Maison Boucheron.The first step is learning how to physically embody "Luxury". You need to look, speak, and move "Luxury". The true luxury attitude is not submissive nor is it hauteur - it is gentle, generous and simply, truly human. Success comes from not just being professional but from building a genuinely luxury relationship with clients.To do that you need to truly understand your client. High value customers today are younger, international in outlook and residence, and increasingly from Asia. Their buying motivation is always about self-affirmation and pleasure and never about money.The luxury customer's decision process is unlike that of other customers. While emotion is important when selling anything to anyone - with luxury selling it is paramount. Srun shows how the psychology of Brand, Product, Place, Price and Time all play a role in customer's motivations.Finally this book guides you step by step with concrete examples and useful techniques through the seven steps of luxury selling: be prepared to sell, welcome appropriately, listen genuinely, propose and present with style, meet objections with persuasion rather than refutation, conclude sharply and finally gain loyalty for a long term relationship.

Electronic music instruments werent called synthesizers until the 1950s, but their lineage began in 1919 with Russian inventor Lev Sergeyevich Termen's development of the Etherphone, now known as the Theremin. From that point, synthesizers have undergone a remarkable evolution from prohibitively large mid-century models confined to university laboratories to the development of musical synthesis software that runs on tablet computers and portable media devices. Throughout its history, the synthesizer has always been at the forefront of technology for the arts. In The Synthesizer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Programming, Playing, and Recording the Ultimate Electronic Music Instrument, veteran music technology journalist, educator, and performer Mark Vail tells the complete story of the synthesizer: the origins of the many forms the instrument takes; crucial advancements in sound generation, musical control, and composition made with instruments that may have become best sellers or gone entirely unnoticed; and the basics and intricacies of acoustics and synthesized sound.Vail also describes how to successfully select, program, and play a synthesizer; what alternative controllers exist for creating electronic music; and how to stay focused and productive when faced with a room full of instruments. This one-stop reference guide on all things synthesizer also offers tips on encouraging creativity, layering sounds, performance, composing and recording for film and television, and much more.
Nach dem großen internationalen Erfolg mehrerer themenorientierter Ausgaben wie dem "Tom of Finland Foundation Special", "Berlin Gay Metropolis" und "Outdoors" ist die mittlerweile neunzehnte Ausgabe der schwulen Kult-Anthologie dem provokanten Thema "Sex Utopia" gewidmet.Es geht um die Erforschung erotischer Utopien, den Sex der Zukunft oder die Zukunft des Sex, um geheime Wünsche, Fantasien und Geschichten, um feuchte Träume und die Bilder, die die Künstler bisher noch nicht zu zeigen gewagt haben. Es geht um Freiheit und Experimente mit Neuem.Wie in den vorangegangenen Ausgaben gibt es Essays, Gedichte und Kurzgeschichten von renommierten Autoren und neuen Talenten - sowie Gemälde, Zeichnungen und Fotos von internationalen Künstlern, darunter Stars wie das französische Duo Pierre et Gilles, von denen auch das diesjährige Cover gestaltet wurde. Der gemeinsame Nenner ist die Auseinandersetzung mit schwuler Erotik und Sexualität, sowohl explizit pornografisch als auch eher ästhetisch, politisch, satirisch und poetisch.

Ce volume explore les premières œuvres électroniques de la compositrice française Éliane Radigue, dont l'approche radicale du feedback, de la synthèse analogique et de la composition sur bande a longtemps résisté à l'interprétation historique et technique. Combinant des textes clés, des documents primaires nouvellement traduits, des entretiens approfondis et des essais de commande, ce recueil interroge la pratique compositionnelle idiosyncrasique de la compositrice, qui englobe et confronte en même temps la nature itérative de la bande magnétique, les subtilités de l'amplification et l'expérience même de l'écoute.Parmi ces contributions, le violoncelliste Charles Curtis, proche collaborateur de Radigue, présente un aperçu approfondi des premières expériences de la compositrice avec les techniques de feedback et la synthèse analogique, de son évolution vers la composition pour des instruments non amplifiés et des interprètes en direct, ainsi que de ses conceptions esthétiques uniques du temps et de la présence. Un certain nombre de conversations détaillées entre la compositrice et les chercheurs Georges Haessig, Patrick de Haas, Ian Nagoski et Bernard Girard fournissent des informations cruciales sur ses méthodes de travail à différents moments de sa carrière. Dagmar Schwerk, spécialiste des sciences religieuses, se penche sur Kyema, l'œuvre de Radigue réalisée en 1988 à l'aide d'un synthétiseur, dans le contexte de la pensée bouddhiste tibétaine et de son histoire, tandis que les textes des musiciens Daniel Silliman et Madison Greenstone examinent, de manière sensiblement différente, les caractéristiques techniques de la pratique sonore de Radigue. Des esquisses d'œuvres non réalisées, des critiques contemporaines, des programmes de concert et d'autres documents permettant de retracer l'histoire de l'interprétation des premières œuvres de Radigue sont présentés ensemble pour la première fois. L'anthologie se termine par une table ronde entre Curtis, Greenstone et Anthony Vine, qui démêle le nœud de paradoxes au centre de la pratique artistique de Radigue pour retracer le fil de son « ethos de résistance ».

Spot the behavioral biases, and you can understand why a tactic works.Get a Behavioral SuperboostBrands can be mystifyingly successful.

In this remarkable history of the development of monotheism, Mark S. Smith explains for the first time how Israel's religion evolved from a cult of Yahweh as a primary deity among many to a fully defined religion with Yahweh as sole god.Repudiating the traditional view that Israel was fundamentally different in culture and religion from its Canaanite neighbors, this provocative book argues that Israelite religion developed, at least in part, from the religion of Canaan. Looking at a wide range of sources, Smith cogently demonstrates that Israelite religion was not an outright rejection of foreign, pagan gods but, rather, was the result of the establishment of a distinctly separate Israelite identity that included the recognition of a singular, universal deity.
