The girl is suffering from acute amnesia. Girland, desperate for money, is ordered by the CIA to get any information he can - by posing as her husband. But the appeal of the mission begins to wear thin when Girland discovers he has involved himself in a life and death race to extract vital atomic secrets from the scientist's beautiful mistress.

Marketing in the Trenches is written for business owners hungry to achieve their firm's growth potential. This book is not an academic exercise. Rather, it is a collection of real-world examples of the problems that today's business owners face, along with examples of actionable business solutions that can be implemented. The tips from the trenches contain actual cases, tangible statistics, and specific takeaways that can be implemented right away. Quite simply, the growth of your company can no longer rely on a single department or on traditional tactics to carry such a heavy burden. This is the perspective from which this book is written, so you can expect to learn far more than how to deploy email campaigns, write taglines, or perform traditional tactics. We'll leave that to all of the other marketing books.

One hundred years ago, the City of Brantford advertised itself as the most important manufacturing centre in Canada. During the century that followed, its industrial economy boomed, faltered, and finally collapsed. By the end of the twentieth century, Brantford was known for unemployment, hard luck, and the infamy of having "the worst downtown in Canada." For twenty years the downtown was in steep decline. Significant attempts at urban revival had failed until Wilfrid Laurier University decided to locate a campus in the heart of Brantford's crumbling city centre. Leo Groarke revisists the grandeur of the city's past, explores the economic downfall, and tells the story of the arrival of the university, its early struggles, its commitment to historic restoration, and its ultimate success as a catalyst for urban renewal. The compelling story he recounts will engage anyone interested in the plight of the North-American city core and the role that universities and colleges can play in re-establishing downtowns as vibrant centres of historical and contemporary importance.
