Want to make millions over the phone? Just say Hello to Chris Noon. In Chris Noon’s expert hands, a simple cold call becomes a masterpiece of deal-clinching salesmanship. This book tells you exactly—and in unstinting detail—how he does it. Starting out, Chris learned business in the produce-or-perish pressure cooker of major Madison Avenue ad agency TBWA\Chiat\Day. As a young account exec, he worked on high-profile campaigns for such goldplated companies as Nissan, Absolute, Kmart, and Meridian.

Pagkatapos ng mga pagkakamali at pagkabigo sa nakaraan, kumbinsido na si Frances na hindi na siya karapat-dapat pa kahit kanino man. Until the hot, mocking, and indomitable NBI agent Matthew dela Merced saved her from hell. He was a friend way back in college. Matthew was also the cousin of her first love, the uncle of her child, and the man who secretly loved her through the years from afar. Hindi maintindihan ni Frances kung bakit sa kanya pa nagkagusto si Matthew. She was not worthy of any man’s love now. Wala nang espesyal sa kanya. Wala nang maganda sa kanya. However, she also couldn’t explain how her heart was slowly giving in to him. Sa kabila ng mundong mapanghusga, paano tatanggapin ni Matthew ang sugatan at napakadungis na niyang nakaraan?
This book offers an examination of Jeff Noon’s iconoclastic debut novel, Vurt (1993). In this first book-length study of the novel, which includes an extended interview with Noon, Wenaus considers how Vurt complicates the process of literary canonization, its constructivist relationship to genre, its violent and oneiric setting of Manchester, its use of the Orphic myth as an archetype for the practice of literary collage and musical remix, and how the structural paradoxes of chaos and fractal geometry inform the novel’s content, form, and theme. Finally, Wenaus makes the case for Vurt’s ongoing relevance in the 21st century, an era increasingly characterized by neuro-totalitarianism, psychopolitics, and digital surveillance. With Vurt, Noon begins his project of rupturing feedback loops of control by breaking narrative habits and embracing the contingent and unpredictable. An inventive, energetic, and heartbreaking novel, Vurt is also an optimistic and heartfelt call for artists to actively create open futures.
Matthew wrote his Gospel from his perspective as a Jew. It is with sensitivity to this perspective that Father Harrington undertakes this commentary on the Gospel of Matthew. After an introduction, he provides a literal translation of each section in Matthew's Gospel and explains the textual problems, philological difficulties, and other matters in the notes. He then presents a literary analysis of each text (content, form, use of sources, structure), examines the text against its Jewish background, situates it in the context of Matthew's debate with other first-century Jews, and reflects on its significance for Christian theology and Christian-Jewish relations. Bibliographies direct the reader to other important modern studies.
