Today's marketplace is a war of ideas. Unless you stand for something you won't stand out. Nowadays anyone can copy your product, or even your business model. What they can't copy is your worldview, your attitude, your special way of doing things. So the war in the marketplace will be a war of ideas. The Big Idea maps this new territory and shows how big ideas make great companies. Unlike business models or the catchphrases of management gurus, a big idea is emotional. And unlike corporate ideologies, vision or brand, it is shared between customers and employees alike.

"[This book] is a photography collection unlike any other you've seen. With his choices of an unconventional titles and vivid palettes, Robert Jones accompanies readers on a spirited journey through North America's sparsely populated outlands. His deeply personal album of glowing snapshots documents scores of unknown sign painters, billboard designers, and creators of garden statuary, whose brilliance lends visual poignancy to thousands of miles of yearly travel on lost highways. In eighty photographs, Jones celebrates such diverse influences on his work as painter Salvador Dali, photographer Walker Evans, and movie directoer David Lynch."--p. [2] of cover.

This work follows hundreds of Welsh pioneers into Pennsylvania via the records of the various land companies who re-settled William Penn's famous grant of land along the Schuylkill River. It utilizes lists of settlers, land patents, plat maps, and biographical sketches to flesh out the process of settlement in Merion and the adjacent towns of Haverford and Radnor. Still other important features are a study of the sometimes strained affairs between Welsh Tract settlers and William Penn, various personal accounts by the settlers, and a history of the Quaker meetings founded within the Welsh Tract.
