  Always The Music is the fascinating story of Morris’ personal metamorphosis through the highest levels of the world of classical music, his learning and insights into how storied musical institutions function, great artists create, and audiences engage. Over the course of 34 years running the Boston Symphony and The Cleveland Orchestra, he had the growing realization that American orchestras had become ingrown on themselves, with rigid structures and cultures that conspired to perpetuate those structures rather than the music experiences they were built to create. Stepping back from orchestras and looking to experiment with his evolving insights, he became artistic director of the Ojai Music Festival. Its size, its setting, its unique structure and a long history with many of the world’s most innovative and influential musicians and composers provided an opportunity for Morris to reimagine musical experiences by challenging all aspects of making music and producing concerts. The first part of the book recounts Morris’s journey through close collaborations with key individuals and projects, while the final chapters synthesizes his career lessons into an unequivocal but thoughtful prescription for the future of the American orchestra. Mostly, though, this is the entertaining story of one man’s lifelong love affair with great music and the people who make it.

  Creative thinking is about finding a way of looking at problems or situations from a fresh perspective to conceive of something new or original. It then becomes inventive thinking when something is created. If you have a brainstorming meeting and dream up dozens of new ideas, then you have displayed creativity but there is no inventiveness until something gets implemented. So, creativity and inventiveness go together hand in hand. 
   
   With his usual flair for narrative, sharing personal experiences, inspirational stories and motivational quotes, Neil Francis will help you to unleash your inner creativity and apply it every day in everything you do!

  Pink Cars and Pocketbooks - How...

  A fascinating history of how the automotive industry and consumers battled to define what women wanted in a car. 
    
  Since the commercial introduction of the automobile, US automakers have always sought women as customers and advertised accordingly. How, then, did car culture become so masculine? In Pink Cars and Pocketbooks, Jessica Brockmole shares the untold history of women's relationship with automobiles: a journey marked by struggle, empowerment, and the relentless pursuit of independence. 
    
  This groundbreaking work explores the evolution of women's automotive participation and the cultural shifts that have redefined their roles as drivers, mechanics, and consumers. Brockmole traces the rise of gendered marketing of automobiles over the course of the twentieth century. Auto companies created ads that conformed to commonly held ideas about women's relationships with automobiles. As the century progressed, marketing to women became less informative and even more gendered: the automotive industry portrayed women as passengers, props, or reluctant drivers, interested primarily in aesthetics. And yet, by the 1970s, female drivers were communicating directly with each other, forming clubs, and teaching each other through women-focused repair manuals.  
    
  By examining market research studies, advertising archives, trade journals, women's magazines, newspapers, driving handbooks, and repair manuals, this book shows how women bought their way into the automobile and masculine car culture. Brockmole uncovers the stories of pioneering women who defied conventions, such as trailblazer Alice Ramsey, the first woman to drive across the United States in 1909, and Barb Wyatt, whose contributions to automotive manuals broke new ground. Women have always been users of technology, and this book illustrates how the auto industry evolved—as well as how it chose not to evolve—in response.
