Summary

Conceived expressly for Yoko Ono as a gift between friends on the occasion of her eightieth birthday, See Hear Yoko is a visual portrait of an icon of contemporary American cultural history, from her days with John Lennon through to the present. Legendary rock and roll photographer Bob Gruen was welcomed into the lives of John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their years in New York City, when Gruen served as their personal lensman, and he continues to document Yoko today. Approached by his friend Jody Denberg, an Austin rock radio mainstay who had logged twenty-five years of interviews with Yoko, Gruen collaborated with him to create an extraordinary birthday gift. In this breathtaking volume, Gruen has selected more than three hundred classic color and black-and-white photographs—accompanied by text of Yoko's insights gleaned from Denberg's many hours of interviews—to illuminate the intimate story of Yoko Ono at the height of her fame as a woman, wife, mother, and avant-garde artist who keeps creating because, as she notes, "that's who I am." Yoko's role as a peace activist and artist underscores the enduring legacy of the era. See Hear Yoko reveals a modern woman in love, in ascension, in grief, in joy, and in peace. 
Lavish and beautiful, mirroring the deeply personal design of the original volume given to Yoko herself, See Hear Yoko brings into focus an extraordinary woman, and one of the most memorable periods in modern history.

    Negotiation is a method by which people settle differences. It is a process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute.In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organisation they represent). However, the principles of fairness, seeking mutual benefit and maintaining a relationship are the keys to a successful outcome.Specific forms of negotiation are used in many situations: international affairs, the legal system, government, industrial disputes or domestic relationships as examples. However, general negotiation skills can be learned and applied in a wide range of activities.  Negotiation skills can be of great benefit in resolving any differences that arise between you and others.Stages of Negotiation1. PreparationBefore any negotiation takes place, a decision needs to be taken as to when and where a meeting will take place to discuss the problem and who will attend.  Setting a limited time-scale can also be helpful to prevent the disagreement continuing.2. DiscussionDuring this stage, individuals or members of each side put forward the case as they see it, i.e. their understanding of the situation. 3. Clarifying GoalsFrom the discussion, the goals, interests and viewpoints of both sides of the disagreement need to be clarified.4. Negotiate Towards a Win-Win OutcomeThis stage focuses on what is termed a 'win-win' outcome where both sides feel they have gained something positive through the process of negotiation and both sides feel their point of view has been taken into consideration. 5. AgreementAgreement can be achieved once understanding of both sides’ viewpoints and interests have been considered. 6. Implementing a Course of ActionFrom the agreement, a course of action has to be implemented to carry through the decision.Now it's time to take action

    The rise and fall of Napoleon is chronicled in dramatic works of art by 19th century masters in this book of art and military history.  Napoleon on Campaign collects magnificent works by Detaille, Meissonier, Vernet, Lady Butler, Hillingford and many of the other artists who sought to capture on canvas the most celebrated incidents of the Napoleonic Wars. Through their battle paintings, these great artists tell an intriguing tale of power, greatness, greed and hubris.   While each painting is captivating in its own right, their chronological presentation creates a uniquely vivid historical narrative, aided by short summaries that provide important context for each scene. Gathering these images together in a single volume for the first time, Napoleon on Campaign is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the Napoleonic era.
