Summary

The incredible story of the Asian advertising
The Chinese city where famous paintings are faked, the chicken sandwich that introduced McDonald’s to the Indian subcontinent, a successful advertising campaign for a beer that does not even exist… These and much more peculiar, funny and extremely relevant stories help to define the development of marketing in the Asian continent: a new frontier, where absolutely nothing that has been accepted in the West for years, can be given for granted. Where the American established giants of advertising had to turn their logics upside down, and redesign any approaches to meanings and trends, to find the right key to the market. .Just Doing It – The New Asian Century is the spontaneous prosecution of the first book abut the 100 personalities in the world who have changed the history of Advertising: two lively, engaging books, addressed both to professionals (as Pia Elliott) and the curios ones.

    Art as Extraordinary Science - A...

    Art education has gone through a number of paradigms since its origins in the medieval guilds. Yet ever since joining the university system in the 1970s, art departments have struggled to articulate a contemporary paradigm which accurately reflects what they do, to the extent that it often seems more realistic to say that art can't be taught at all.
    At the same time, science departments have struggled with the problem first noted by science historian Thomas Kuhn in 1962 – that the history of science depends on the creative brilliance of 'extraordinary scientists' who yet have no place within the confines of traditional university teaching.
    In this book, Jenny Waller argues that both these problems result from our assumptions about what counts as education. Taking the axes of Articulation and Acceptance by the university disciplines, she creates a grid-matrix of educational assumptions resulting in the quadrants Professional Practice, Normal Science, Extraordinary science and Voodoo. Then using the findings from a year-long ethnographic study of Fine Art studio teaching in a university department, she shows how contemporary art teaching fits into the quadrant of extraordinary science, providing a powerful contemporary paradigm for what art educators do.
    At the same time, her analysis of how art is taught provides science teachers with a blueprint for developing the potential of their students to be truly extraordinary.
    "This articulation…makes an original and significant contribution to the current literature on teaching and learning practices in the creative arts."

    Strings Attached is the much anticipated authorised biography of John Williams, one of the most accomplished and celebrated musicians of his generation. From his childhood in Australia to his stellar career in London and around the world, John Williams has lived an extraordinary life. Master of the classical repertoire, he took the guitar to a wider audience with the band SKY and by his championing of the music of South America and Africa. William Starling came to know John Williams through their mutual friend, jazz guitarist John Etheridge. As their friendship developed, he put it to the maestro that it was time for a biography. To his lasting amazement, the famously private Williams agreed. Strings Attached is the product of extensive research and uniquely privileged access to John Williams, his family, friends and musical associates. It is the first telling of the fascinating life and career of a world-renowned musician and, equally, the story of a man and the making of his identity.
