The Deal of the Century - The Breakup of AT&T

Steve Coll

Sinossi

A New York Times–bestselling author’s “superbly reported” account of the dismantling of the world’s largest corporation (The Washington Post). Written by the two-time Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Ghost Wars and Private Empire, The Deal of the Century chronicles the decade-long war for control of AT&T.   When the US Department of Justice brought an antitrust lawsuit against AT&T in 1974, the telecommunications giant held a monopoly on phone service throughout the country. Over the following decade, an army of lawyers, executives, politicians, and judges spent countless hours clashing over what amounted to the biggest corporate breakup in American history. From boardroom to courtroom, Steve Coll untangles the myriad threads of this complex and critical case and gives readers “an excellent behind-the-scenes look” at the human drama involved in the remaking of an entire industry (The Philadelphia Inquirer).   Hailed by the New York Times Book Review as “rich, intricate and convincing,” The Deal of the Century is the definitive narrative of a momentous turning point in the way America does business.

Sustainable Urban Infrastructure...

Lyric Vale

Sustainable urban infrastructure is an essential aspect of modern urban development, aimed at addressing the growing demands of urbanization while mitigating environmental impact and ensuring long-term social and economic prosperity. As the global population continues to shift toward urban areas, the challenges of managing and developing cities sustainably become increasingly complex. In this chapter, we explore the concept of sustainable urban infrastructure, its importance, and the challenges faced by planners and policymakers in creating systems that are both efficient and resilient.
Defining sustainable urban infrastructure involves understanding the integration of various urban systems in a way that promotes long-term environmental health, economic vitality, and social equity. This includes transportation systems that reduce emissions, energy-efficient buildings, and green spaces that enhance the quality of life. Sustainable infrastructure also emphasizes the responsible use of resources, such as water and energy, while minimizing waste and environmental degradation. It is not merely about constructing buildings and roads but about creating a holistic urban ecosystem that supports the needs of current and future generations.
The importance of sustainable development in urban infrastructure cannot be overstated. With the world’s urban population projected to reach 68% by 2050, cities will face immense pressure to provide housing, transport, and services while also minimizing their carbon footprint and adapting to climate change.

RETAIL SUCCESS IN AN ONLINE...

Rob Fishman

With all the technological and economic shifts leading to significant change in the world of retailing, it's important to understand what really works—as well as what really doesn't—in the current retail selling environment. Surviving and thriving in this market means not just meeting, but exceeding, customer expectations. In this book, you learn what makes that possible: a nurturing relationship . . . combined with a tested, repeatable, zero-pressure sales process. 
 
 
 
Even in the face of revolutionary changes facing owners of small and mid-sized retail shops, what remains constant is the need for direct, personal interaction with a customer who needs help. That help comes most powerfully in the form of nurturing, real-time, in-person support for buyers who are facing a problem they haven't yet solved . . . or who need in-person guidance in creating a successful outcome on an important purchase. For these customers, face-to-face interactions still matter. 
 
 
 
Getting nurturing support from a real, live human being is part of how our species is wired. It is one of the main reasons face-to-face retail continues to be a part of the shopping landscape, and can never be fully replaced with a 100% online experience. Retail Success in an Online World shows how to harness this basic human need, so you can compete, and win, in the Amazon era.
