Emily Post's Etiquette, 18th Edition (Emily Post's Etiquette) Overview

For nearly a century, one name has been trusted above all others when it comes to proper decorum: Emily Post. In this completely updated 18th Edition of the classic Emily Post’s Etiquette, the mantle is picked up by the great-great-grandchildren of the First Lady of Etiquette, who tackle the latest issues and demands of the twenty-first century—from texting and tweeting to iPhones, Facebook, and all forms of social media. The perfect guide for Millennials living on their own for the first time who wish to establish themselves properly in the workplace—as well as for Baby Boomers in the midst of planning their children’s weddings, entering retirement, and helping to care for elderly parents—Emily Post’s Etiquette, 18th Edition, remains the essential handbook to proper social behavior.

Brand Against the Machine: How to Build Your Brand, Cut Through the Marketing Noise, and Stand Out from the Competition Overview

The machine blasts messages at the world and it does not care who you are or what you have to say or whether its message is relevant to you at all. The machine is a moron. You, however, are not. Which is why your brand needs to rage against the traditional forces of advertising. You must engage your audience and win their business by giving more and selling less. Yours must be a Brand Against the Machine.

Brand Against the Machine offers proven and actionable steps for companies and entrepreneurs to increase their visibility and credibility, and create an indispensable brand that consumers can relate to, creating lifelong customers. Discover the aspirational currency that makes your brand one that people want to be or want to be friends with. Learn how to be real with your audience and make strategic associations to establish credibility. Brand Against the Machine will help you stand out, get noticed, and be remembered.

Brand Against the Machine offers a blueprint for your brand framework, with step-by-step guidance, including:

• Know who your target audience is and what they want

• Define your position as the go-to authority in your industry

• Determine your audience's problem and create a solution for them

• Produce valuable content that attracts your audience and engages them

• Promote yourself without pestering people

• Over-deliver on your promise

The machine is a rusted piece of junk in the marketplace. Ditch traditional corporate branding and marketing, and exchange it for something memorable. Your customers will thank you for it.

Managing Sport Facilities - 2nd Edition

Managing Sport Facilities - 2nd Edition Overview

Managing Sport Facilities, Second Edition, continues the tradition set by its predecessor of providing future and current sport facility managers with the knowledge they will need in order to make the proper decisions in all areas of facility management. Like the groundbreaking first edition, the second edition provides a comprehensive understanding of crafting a career in running a sport facility.

The second edition of Managing Sport Facilities continues to engage students with a clear writing style, extensive real-world examples, and information on managing a wide range of facilities, from professional sport stadiums to smaller and more common health clubs, colleges, and recreational environments. As managers require expanded knowledge to meet the needs of large, high-tech sport and recreation facilities, this edition has been updated to include these features:

-An expanded section on risk management

-New information on security issues

-A full array of ancillaries, including an online instructor guide, test package, and presentation package
In addition, the text offers updated content in the Facility Focus and Behind the Scenes sections, which bring the theories and concepts to life by citing specific examples of strategies used to make a facility—and the facility manager—more successful. Through the newly added facility manager profiles included in each chapter, students receive a close-up look at the challenges and rewards that practicing facility managers experience in their daily work. Readers also learn about the managers' educational and experiential backgrounds that helped them land their current jobs. This text provides students with a complete look at what it takes to develop and run a sport facility with an approach that combines various topics and disciplines. Students will learn the history of the sport facility industry and the primary goals and objectives of facility managers; how to build and finance a facility; facility operation; administration of marketing, finance, and other critical areas; and event administration and management.

Managing Sport Facilities, Second Edition, contains extensive textbook learning aids, including real-world checklists and forms that allow students a glimpse of some of the tools and guidelines that professionals use in their work. Each chapter begins with objectives and a brief overview and concludes with a summary and discussion questions and activities. The instructor ancillaries will help instructors prepare for and teach their class, and the text itself is written in a clear and engaging style that makes the reading understandable, cogent, and easy to remember.

Starting from its already solid foundation, the new material, updates, ancillaries, and practical learning aids make this new edition the most complete and up-to-date text on the subject. Students using this text will learn what it takes to blend leadership, operations management, and creativity in promotions as they begin their journey to being top-notch sport facility managers.
