Serendipity. a Journey in Time and Faith
This is the journey of a 7000 year old Name. A Name that is rooted to all majors religions and world beliefs: from the 1st and 2nd Testaments, to the Koran among others. A Name found in 5 continents, and, many aboriginal communities. This Name is my Family Name.

Sahut. À la Croisée du Temps et de la Foi.
Un nom: celui de ma famille! Une histoire: celle du monde, de la religion. Une coïncidence: celle de ma naissance. De ma renaissance et de l'apocalypse que certains prédisent, et qui d'après ces mêmes experts, mettra fin à l'humanité telle que nous la connaissons. C'est une journée, ma journée qui passe de l'antiquité, au Moyen-Âge, aux jours d'aujourd'hui. Plus de 7000 ans d'histoire, 5 continents, le 1er et le 2ème Testament, le Coran, les textes Védiques se regroupent sous une commune banalité, le nom qui m'a été donné lorsque je suis né! Un nom tout simple qui est à la fois Juif, Chrétien, Musulman, Hindu, Aborigène. Un nom tout simple qui signifie: la Vérité, le Salut, la Réponse, l'Oubli, la Réconciliation, et la Paix! Un nom qui, par mon épopée, me lie aux chiffres "666", "13", "3" et 2012. Ce n'est peut-être pas une grande histoire, mais c'est la mienne, et je vous l'offre!
Firm Competitive Advantage Through Relationship Management
Relationship management (RM) is an essential part of business, but its success as a business model can be hard to measure, with some firms embracing a model that is truly relationship-orientated, while others claim to be relationship-orientated but in fact prefer transactional short-term gain. This open access book aims to develop a mid-range theory of relationship management, examining truly relationship-orientated firms to discover not only what qualities these firms have that make them successful at the RM model, but also what benefits this model has for the firm. It addresses questions like how RM-mature companies achieve and sustain competitive advantage, and what determines the scale and scope of these firms, illustrating with case studies. This book will be of interest to scholars studying leadership and strategy, especially those interested in relationship management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility. It will also be of interest to professionals looking to develop their understanding of relationship management.
Absorption and Theatricality
With this widely acclaimed work, Michael Fried revised the way in which eighteenth-century French painting and criticism are viewed and understood. Analyzing paintings produced between 1753 and 1781 and the comments of a number of critics who wrote about them, especially Dennis Diderot, Fried discovers a new emphasis in the art of the time, based not on subject matter or style but on values and effects.
