Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Throughout the 1980's Bill Pride and OC Ferrell's text led the way in the USA, with full colour design and cutting edge supplements for tutors. In the UK and Europe, tutors mainly used Kotler's or McCarthy's books. In 1991 Warwick-based Sally Dibb and Lyndon Simkin joined forces with Bill Pride and O.C. Ferrell to produce the first European edition of "Marketing: Concepts and Strategies". This trail-blazing Euro-text proved hugely popular with tutors and students, prompting rival publishers to sponsor a host of poor imitations. Each new edition of "Marketing: Concepts and Strategies" is a full re-write, never a minor revision. The best and most popular features from the previous edition are retained, while peer suggestions coupled with Sally and Lyndon's experience at Warwick Business School lead to a topical and insightful set of additions and improvements. In this way, existing tutors find there is convenient synergy between their course structures and the revised content, while students benefit from coverage of the leading-edge concepts and thinking in the discipline. A significant change for the 5th edition has been the incorporation of practitioners' views about the role of marketing, from leading exponents in Calor, Fujitsu and Tilda, to name only some. Just as truly effective marketing for practitioners require the word "strategic" placing in front of "marketing", this addition of "Marketing: Concepts and Strategies" has put greater emphasis on the process and associated concepts of strategic marketing. As a result, this edition is genuinely applicable to undergraduates, MBAs or college students studying for professional exams. Recommended by The Chartered Institute of Marketing.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Pulitzer Prizewinning historian Walter McDougall reinterprets the traditions that have shaped U.S. foreign policy from 1776 to the present in "an entertaining and iconoclastic fashion" (Philadelphia Inquirer). In a concise analysis, McDougall divides American diplomatic history into two stages, which he calls "Old Testament" and "New Testament" phases. The Old Testament phase, which ran from the Revolution to the 1890s, centered on protecting and perfecting America within. The "New Testament" phase, from the Spanish-American War to the present, is more interventionist, featuring competing ideals of containment, expansion, and meliorism. Within the testament phases, McDougall goes on to further categorize eight conflicting schools of thought. Conversational in tone and highly educational, readers will appreciate McDougalls astute observations and overview of American foreign policy. Crucially, McDougall contends that by projecting U.S. standards and ideals onto other countries, the U.S. repeatedly overextends its resources and pays too a high a price for assuming such risk. In Promised Land, Crusader State, "McDougall has written a lively and provocative book" (Wall Street Journal) that is "a rich study of the American experience" (Los Angeles Times).

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An in-depth look at Lewis and Clark's historic expedition through the explorers' journalsAmerica's "first report on the West" (Bernard DeVoto, Pulitzer Prize-winning scholar-historian of the American West). In 1803, the great expanse of the Louisiana Purchase was an empty canvas. Keenly aware that the course of the nation's destiny lay westwardand that a Voyage of Discovery would be necessary to determine the nature of the frontierPresident Thomas Jefferson commissioned Meriwether Lewis to lead an expedition from the Missouri River to the northern Pacific coast and back. From 1804 to 1806, accompanied by co-captain William Clark, the Shoshone guide Sacajawea, and thirty-two men, Lewis mapped rivers, traced the principal waterways to the sea, and established the American claim to the territories of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Together the captains kept this journal: a richly detailed record of the flora and fauna they sighted, the native tribes they encountered, and the awe-inspiring landscape they traversed, from their base camp near present-day St. Louis to the mouth of the Columbia River, which has become an incomparable contribution to the literature of exploration and the writing of natural history.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This 14-chapter text uses a combination of Alice 3 and pure Java to introduce beginning students to object-oriented (OO) programming concepts. Originally developed to eliminate barriers that have traditionally prevented many students from successfully learning to program, Alice 3, the latest release, makes it easy to build 3D animations using models from the popular Sims games, while eliminating syntax errors. The text employs a "spiral" pedagogical approach: the first six chapters use Alice's innovative drag-and-drop environment to introduce OO concepts through the medium of computer animation, while the final eight chapters use pure Java to revisit and expand on those same concepts. The text introduces core programming topics--including objects, classes, methods, variables, parameters, control structures, inheritance, and data structures--using the visually stimulating context of 3D animation to ensure that students are both motivated and prepared to continue their studies in Computer Science. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
