Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - What do we know about ordinary people in our towns and cities, about what really matters to them and how they organize their lives today This book visits an ordinary street and looks into thirty households. It reveals the aspirations and frustrations, the tragedies and accomplishments that are played out behind the doors. It focuses on the things that matter to these people, which quite often turn out to be material things - their house, the dog, their music, the Christmas decorations. These are the means by which they express who they have become, and relationships to objects turn out to be central to their relationships with other people - children, lovers, brothers and friends. If this is a typical street in a modern city like London, then what kind of society is this It's not a community, nor a neighbourhood, nor is it a collection of isolated individuals. It isn't dominated by the family. We assume that social life is corrupted by materialism, made superficial and individualistic by a surfeit of consumer goods, but this is misleading. If the street isn't any of these things, then what is it This brilliant and revealing portrayal of a street in modern London, written by one the most prominent anthropologists, shows how much is to be gained when we stop lamenting what we think we used to be and focus instead on what we are now becoming. It reveals the forms by which ordinary people make sense of their lives, and the ways in which objects become our companions in the daily struggle to make life meaningful.; Wer und vor allem wie lebt man in London heute In 30 brillanten Porträts erfährt der Leser ganz intime Details, durchlebt selbst alle Höhen und Tiefen der Protagonisten und erhält einen umfassenden Einblick in das 'Wesen der Menschen' aus Sicht eines Anthropologen.…

Neuware - Proven principles and tactics for successful selling in the expanding luxury goods marketCustomers of high-end products hold extremely high expectations in terms of customer service. Unlike typical consumers who face a need and go to the market to find something to fill that need, luxury buyers make their purchasing decisions based on much less practical considerations like passion and emotion. It's up to the sales ambassadors to create that emotion and the will to buy. After all, no one actually needs a $10,000 bracelet or a $20,000 wristwatch. Sales ambassadors to this market must master specific customer relation skills, like the ability to listen to the customer, build long-term customer relationships based on trust and loyalty, subtly appeal to the customer's emotions, and deliver personalized service from start to finish.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The notion of quality of life has for several decades been well-established in ethical debate about health care and the care of older people. Dignity in Care for Older People highlights the notion of dignity within the care of the elderly, focusing on the importance of theoretical concepts.Primarily based on a Research Project, Dignity and Older Europeans, funded by the European Commission, this book provides a thorough investigation of the concept of dignity and related concepts such as quality of life and autonomy. It includes a chapter devoted to the dignity of human embodiment, emphasizing the importance of the notion of the lived body in the context of elderly care. As a result of the conceptual study a model of dignity emerges in which four variants of dignity stand out: dignity of merit, dignity as moral status, dignity of identity and Menschenwürde (the specifically human value). From this follows a discussion of how these variants of dignity can be used in characterizing the care of the elderly. The notions of dignity and dignified care are discussed particularly in relation to demented persons and dying persons.
