The Haters
Author: Jesse Andrews
Publisher: ABRAMS
ISBN: 1613129483
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
From Jesse Andrews, author of the New York Times bestselling Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and screenwriter of the Sundance award–winning motion picture of the same name, comes a groundbreaking young adult novel about music, love, friendship, and freedom as three young musicians follow a quest to escape the law long enough to play the amazing show they hope (but also doubt) they have in them. For Wes and his best friend, Corey, jazz camp turns out to be lame. It’s pretty much all dudes talking in Jazz Voice. But then they jam with Ash, a charismatic girl with an unusual sound, and the three just click. It’s three and a half hours of pure musical magic, and Ash makes a decision: They need to hit the road. Because the road, not summer camp, is where bands get good. Before Wes and Corey know it, they’re in Ash’s SUV heading south, and The Haters Summer of Hate Tour has begun. In his second novel, Andrews again brings his brilliant and distinctive voice to YA, in the perfect book for music lovers, fans of The Commitments (author Roddy Doyle raves "The Haters is terrific. It is shocking and funny, unsettling and charming."), and High Fidelity, or anyone who has ever loved—and hated—a song or a band. This witty, funny coming-of-age novel is contemporary fiction at its best.

Queer Lovers and Hateful Others
Author: Jinthana Haritaworn
Publisher: Pluto Press (UK)
ISBN: 9780745330624
Category : Gay liberation movement
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
"Since 9/11, gay men and women have experienced relative liberation in parts of the Western world. Coinciding with queer and transgender mobilisations, contemporary queer identity is changing, homosexuality has become acceptable within the army and the police, and (heavily de-sexualised) images of same-sex affection have become mainstream. In Queer Lovers and Hateful Others, however, Jin Haritaworn challenges this progression by exposing what happens to this discourse when sexuality and the racial or religious 'Other' collide. He discusses how the sexual understanding of 'terror' has become increasingly prevalent across the globe in a destructive and overarching ideology. For example, he discusses how gendered images of Islam such as the veil and 'honour crimes' are circulated, largely unchallenged. He looks at movements on the ground, such as how anti-Islam activists have been able to mobilise existing notions of 'Muslim sexism' in order to mainstream a new discourse on 'Muslim homophobia'. Important, timely and innovative, this book provides an exciting engagement with pressing political issues regarding current trends within sexual and gender politics in the neo-colonial world order"--Publisher's description.

What Customers Hate
Author: Nicholas Webb
Publisher: HarperCollins Leadership
ISBN: 1400236681
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
This book will teach you how to eliminate what customers hate and lead your market and customer satisfaction. Whether you’re selling to consumers or business-to-business (B2B), perfection in the marketplace does not exist. When making buying decisions, customers are faced with an array of imperfect choices. The best organizations in the world are not only delivering great customer experience, but they’re also taking steps to proactively avoid the things that customers hate. These companies have learned that if you can eliminate what customers hate, you will instantly become the best option in your market. No company, brand, or service enjoys 100 percent love. There will always be some degree of hate in the mix. Hate is a source of friction, and if there is too much friction, the process of moving products and services— regardless of their high quality—into the hands of customers will grind to a halt. What Customers Hate will show you how to avoid the common pitfalls that have damaged some of the best organizations, and best teams in the world, and how to change the philosophical view of customer experience so you can learn that customer experience is actually an innovation activity. This customer experience playbook will give you actionable takeaways that include: How to turn an upset customer into a customer for life, in five easy steps. Why “haters” will determine your organization’s growth and profitability. How to thrive in the “experience economy.” The importance of the five-touch journey mapping. The impact of hate-love personification. How to turn your customers into “Evangelists.” The power of: Attraction, Promotion, Retention, and Avoiding Deflection. The secrets of the best organizations in the world. This book is the product of many years of front-line work with some of the top brands in the world and their customers. Set aside the theories and concepts, this is the playbook you need. You’ll find that this approach will make it fast and easy to drive scalable growth, profitability, and most importantly, customer happiness.
