  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.

  The Invention of Surgery - A...

  Written by an author with plenty of experience holding a scalpel, Dr. David Schneider’s in-depth biography is an encompassing history of the practice that has leapt forward over the centuries from the dangerous guesswork of ancient Greek physicians through the world-changing “implant revolution” of the twentieth century. The Invention of Surgery explains this dramatic progress and highlights the personalities of the discipline's most dynamic historical figures. It links together the lives of the pioneering scientists who first understood what causes disease, how organs become infected or cancerous, and how surgery could powerfully intercede in people’s lives, and then shows how the rise of surgery intersected with many of the greatest medical breakthroughs of the last century, including the evolution of medical education, the transformation of the hospital from a place of dying to a habitation of healing, the development of antibiotics, and the rise of transistors and polymer science. And as Schneider argues, surgery has not finished transforming; new technologies are constantly reinventing both the practice of surgery and the nature of the objects we are permanently implanting in our bodies. Schneider considers these latest developments, asking “What’s next?” and analyzing how our conception of surgery has changed alongside our evolving ideas of medicine, technology, and our bodies.

  From a discussion of Einstein’s theories to an analysis of meaning, the philosopher offers a fascinating collection of essays on a wide range of topics.  This is a collection of many of Whitehead’s papers that are scattered elsewhere. It was the penultimate book he published, and represents his mature thoughts on many topics. Philosophical Library has done a great service by publishing a representative collection of his writings on the subjects of Philosophy, Education and Science. The portion on Philosophy includes five papers: “Immortality”, “Mathematics and the Good”, “Process and Reality”, “John Dewey and His Influence” and the “Analysis of Meaning.”   The first three chapters consist of Whitehead’s personal reflections illumined by flashes of his lively humor. They are picturesque and amusing. The remainder of the book consists of chapters on Philosophy, Education, and Science. They cover in depth his positions on many scientific and philosophical matters in an extraordinarily unified way. The final section of the book is devoted to excellent surveys of Geometry and Mathematics as well as a paper on Einstein’s theories.
