A Synopsis of the Birds of North America

John James Audubon

Sinopse

In "A Synopsis of the Birds of North America," John James Audubon presents a meticulous compilation of ornithological studies alongside stunning illustrations that capture the vivid beauty and diversity of North American birds. This seminal work, published in 1825, showcases Audubon's unique blend of scientific rigor and artistic finesse, reflecting the Enlightenment's spirit of exploration and knowledge. His detailed accounts and observations are enriched by a lyrical style that invites readers into the natural world, establishing a foundational text in the field of American ornithology. Audubon, born in Haiti and raised in France before moving to the United States, was profoundly influenced by nature and its intricacies. His passion for wildlife and commitment to capturing its essence stem from his childhood experiences exploring the landscapes of America. This deep-seated affinity for birds propelled Audubon to dedicate his life to documenting their species, seeking to inspire a greater appreciation for the natural world amidst the rapid changes of the early 19th century. This book is an essential read for both ornithologists and nature enthusiasts alike, as it not only offers scholarly insights into avian species but also exemplifies the artistic and scientific pursuits of Audubon's time. Dive into this captivating exploration and appreciate the profound connection between art and biology in the world of North American birds.

CEO Led Sales - The new model to...

Andrew Phillips

CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the CEO.
As the CEO of a sales organisation, how many times have you said to yourself:
"thank god our customers are buying because we're not selling"
"we had ten-times pipeline coverage, but we still missed our number?"
Or ... heard from your sales leads the following:
"the person who was going to sign off on our deal has gone on leave"
"this is a strategic deal - we must discount to win"
"they decided to do nothing?"
If these lines sound familiar, then your sales team is stuck in the past. They are struggling to keep pace
with the market and will continue to stumble into the future. That's not to say you won't make your
numbers on occasion, but you can be guaranteed your company won't be the clear leader in its market.
This creates distrust with your sales team and that uneasy feeling of not being sure you will meet your
targets.
Is there a better way?
After twenty years as a senior IT sales leader addressing this problem and demonstrating measurable
success across multiple organisations, Andrew Phillips knows there is.
CEO-Led Sales outlines The Right Model to revolutionise your sales process and dramatically improve
your confidence in the predictability of your sales numbers. This has to start from the top with you, the
CEO.
The process is a multi-year investment to transform your sales organisation. It's challenging, but the
results are consistent and the revenue reliable. Andrew Phillips invites you to take the next step and
discover the benefits of CEO-Led Sales.
