Sinopse

Ancient Microbes reveals how microscopic life has shaped Earth for billions of years, challenging the traditional view of evolution. It highlights that these ancient microbes, often overlooked, weren't just passive bystanders but active agents that fundamentally altered our planet's geology and atmosphere. The book delves into how microbial life continuously drives planetary change, emphasizing the importance of understanding their origins for a complete grasp of life's history.

 
The investigation methods used to study these ancient life forms include advanced microscopy and geochemical analysis, which help researchers determine the biological origin of microfossils. Examining key sites like the banded iron formations and ancient cherts provides insights into the evolution of processes like photosynthesis.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the geological context of early Earth, then detailing the techniques used to study ancient microbes and finally explores the implications of microbial evolution.

 
This book uniquely emphasizes the active role of microbes in shaping Earth's environment, presenting them as powerful agents of planetary transformation. By connecting earth sciences, biology, and astrobiology, Ancient Microbes demonstrates how insights from studying ancient microbes can inform our understanding of modern environmental challenges and the search for life beyond Earth.

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.
