Summary

International Mail Streams explores the surprising relevance of physical mail in our digital age, arguing it serves as a tangible indicator of international relations and economic activity. The book examines the web of treaties and agreements governing mail exchange between nations, some dating back centuries, reflecting diplomatic relationships and trade policies.

 
These agreements reveal historical alliances and ongoing efforts to harmonize international postal standards, with the Universal Postal Union (UPU) playing a central role in facilitating cooperation.

 
The book details the critical role of customs collaboration in ensuring secure mail movement across borders. Customs procedures, security protocols, and the challenges of combating illicit activities are analyzed, particularly in light of post-9/11 security concerns.

 
The surge in e-commerce has profoundly impacted international mail, transforming it from personal correspondence to a conduit for commercial goods, posing logistical complexities for postal operators worldwide.

 
The book draws upon diverse sources, including archival documents and statistical data, to support its arguments. This examination of international mail connects to broader themes in international relations, economics, and logistics.

 
Postal networks act as a form of soft power, fostering cultural exchange and promoting diplomatic ties. The book’s approach is academic, fact-based, and analytical, providing a comprehensive overview designed for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in global trade and communication, offering a unique perspective on globalization through the lens of postal services.
Available since: 02/20/2025.

In Priced to Win: The Sales Leader's Framework for Closing Deals Without Caving on Price, Victor Antonio, a globally recognized sales authority and former president of global sales and marketing, reveals why discounting is a behavioral reflex rather than a pricing strategy. Drawing on behavioral science and negotiation psychology, Antonio provides a structured approach for responding to price pressure with confidence instead of concessions.

    Better Brand Health - Measures...

    Jenni Romaniuk's latest book is about brand health tracking, one of the biggest (and most costly) sources of insights about brand performance and inputs into brand strategy that marketers engage in. But yet most trackers were designed pre–How Brands Grow, and so suffer from being not fit for purpose to provide insights to managers looking to grow their brands. 
 
 
 
Jenni has conducted R&D into brand health tracking for the past decade; much of this is published in a disparate range of academic marketing journals, and some of it is not published because it is more technical. Better Brand Health brings together that R&D with Jenni and the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute's background to help brand managers and researchers design an evidence based, useful brand health tracking research instrument and get the most out of the information to inform their recommendations and implications.

    It' s never been this urgent to build employee relationships that spark higher brain thinking and the skills to connect with people to encourage their highest performance. In other words, it' s vital to engage team members' upper brains, which control critical reasoning, judgment, and creativity. When that positive connection is lacking, leaders risk provoking team members' lower brains— which govern fear and survival behaviors— and creating a toxic workplace.

Research shows that a leader' s behavior is the most important predictor of a team' s success. Leading with Your Upper Brain helps you understand why. It provides an innovative framework to shift your behavior in ways that help employees tap into their upper-brain resources that drive higher levels of performance.

The authors use cutting-edge neuroscience research to illustrate how a positive connection with their leader builds trust and affects team members' brain function that leads to overall team success. They share a modern, science-based approach to performance management and leadership development that fits any organization. Each chapter offers key takeaways, tips, and questions to help you put the principles into practice.
