How to Get Your Competition Fired Publisher: John Wiley & Sons | ISBN: 0471703117 | edition 2005 | PDF | 220 pages | 11,6 mb Traditional sales methods focus on the relationship between the salesperson and his or her prospect; the problem is that someone probably already has the account and the advantage of the last look. Schwantz, president and CEO of the Wedge Group, formulated a selling system that tackles the challenge of breaking the prospect’s relationship with the current provider. He presents a series of questions that allow clients to reveal current dissatisfactions while you remain neutral.

Mind Design II: Philosophy, Psychology, and Artificial Intelligence Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262082594 | edition 1997 | PDF | 440 pages | 16,3 mb Mind design is the endeavor to understand mind (thinking, intellect) in terms of its design (how it is built, how it works). Unlike traditional empirical psychology, it is more oriented toward the “how” than the “what.” An experiment in mind design is more likely to be an attempt to build something and make it work—as in artificial intelligence—than to observe or analyze what already exists. Mind design is psychology by reverse engineering. When Mind Design was first published in 1981, it became a classic in the then-nascent fields of cognitive science and AI.

Biophotonics: Optical Science and Engineering for the 21st Century Publisher: Springer | ISBN: 0387249958 | edition 2006 | PDF | 234 pages | 16,6 mb It is now well established that all living systems emit a weak but permanent photon flux in the visible and ultraviolet range. This biophoton emission is correlated with many, if not all, biological and physiological functions. There are indications of a hitherto-overlooked information channel within the living system. Biophotons may trigger chemical reactivity in cells, growth control, differentiation and intercellular communication, i.e. biological rhythms. The basic experimental and theoretical framework as well as the technical problems and the wide field of applications in the biotechnical, biomedical engineering, engineering, medicine, pharmacology, environmental science and basic science fields are presented in this book.
