H. H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil
by Adam SelzerShares with readers America’s first and most infamous serial killer and his diabolical killing spree during the 1893 World’s Fair in ChicagoThe first comprehensive book following the life and career of H. H. HolmesA fascinating true story about a dark moment in Chicago’s historyH. H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil uncovers not only the true story of Holmes but also how the legend evolved. It uses hundreds of primary sources that have never been studied before. This includes letters, articles, legal documents, and records that have been tucked away in archives for more than 100 years. While H. H. Holmes is now as famous as he was in 1895, a thorough analysis of modern materials clarifies how much of the story as we know it came from reports who were far from the action, an incredibly unqualified new police chief, and lies from Holmes himself. This book is a tale of an outlaw. It covers Holmes’s own story with new insights. The author, Adam Selzer, has uncovered stunning new data about Holmes. He combines turn-of-the-century America, the crazy group of characters who were in and around the famous “castle” building, and the killer’s own background. This book is the first fully accurate account of what truly happened in Holmes’s horror castle. H. H. Holmes, with its exhaustive research and careful detail, is an irreplaceable partner to the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese movie about Holmes’s murder spree based on Erik Larson’s The Devil in the White City.

H.J. Heinz Company (Images of America)
by Debbie Foster Jack KennedyA photographic history of one of America's oldest and best-loved companies, and a study in how to “do the common thing uncommonly well.”In 1869, the American diet was a dreary affair. Kitchen staples included bread, potatoes, other root vegetables, and meat. Tomatoes—at the time called “love apples”—were an exotic fruit. Then, twenty-five-year-old Henry J. Heinz helped to change all of that. Heinz established his company based on a single premise: quality. He demonstrated this commitment by bottling his first product, grated horseradish, in clear glass jars to showcase its purity. From his hometown near Pittsburgh, Heinz sparked a revolution. A colorful marketing genius, he was a foresighted entrepreneur whose peripatetic travels birthed the global H.J. Heinz Company, which today is the most international of all United States-based food companies. This book contains vintage images from the archives of one of America’s first industrial photography studios—capturing both the products and the memorable and creative marketing from the “57 Varieties” company.

H vding: The Airbag for Cyclists
by Emilie Billaud Joseph FullerIn 2012, Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, cofounders of the H vding company, reflect on the evolution of their venture and the way forward. Since 2005, Haupt and Alstin had been working on a new type of bicycle helmet-an "airbag for cyclists". What had begun as a thesis had grown into a seven-year journey of research and development, including raising over $5 million of venture capital. The product had been granted Europe's CE certification in 2011 and had been launched simultaneously in Sweden and Norway. Yet, a year later, the company had still not reached the breakeven point. To help them establish a commercialization strategy, the H vding board had prevailed upon the founders to hire a professional CEO. But surrendering management control was an emotional process for Haupt and Alstin, while the CEO struggled to assert his leadership and build the company's commercial capabilities. Should Haupt and Alstin collaborate with their CEO despite their misgivings or should they step away from the company they had dedicated seven years to building?

H2H-Marketing – von Menschen für Menschen: Marketing mit mehr Verantwortung und Nachhaltigkeit – Konzeption und Umsetzung
by Philip Kotler Waldemar Pförtsch Uwe SponholzDieses Buch zeigt, warum sich Marketing zu einem nachhaltigeren und verantwortungsvollen Handeln weiterentwickeln muss und wie das professionell gelingen kann. Unternehmen müssen heute die Beziehung zu den Menschen in den Mittelpunkt ihres unternehmerischen Wirkens setzen. Neue Angebote, Kommunikations- und Vertriebskonzepte sind dafür notwendig, um die gestiegenen Erwartungen der Menschen von heute erfüllen zu können. Für Unternehmen ist damit die große Chance verbunden, sich als proaktive Change Agents zu positionieren und eine authentische, sinnstiftende sowie verantwortungsvolle Rolle bei der Lösung der Probleme ihrer Kunden einzunehmen. Das H2H-Modell integriert dafür in einzigartiger Form aktuelle Managementkonzepte sowie Design Thinking und Service-Dominant Logic, gepaart mit den Chancen der Digitalisierung. Zugleich vereinfacht es kompliziert gewordene Marketingprozesse und implementiert fortschrittliche Management- und Entscheidungskonzepte. Die junge Generation kritisiert zu Recht, dass zu viel über Klimawandel, Nachhaltigkeit und wachsende Armut geredet, aber zu wenig gehandelt wird. Stattdessen wird der Hyperkonsum weiter angeheizt. Die Jugend legt den Finger in die Wunde. Es ist Zeit, jetzt umzudenken. Unternehmen, die dieser Botschaft keine Taten folgen lassen, werden Kunden verlieren. Wer diesen Weg in die Zukunft beschreiten will, muss bereit sein, neue Gedanken zuzulassen und den Menschen mit seinen Bedürfnissen und Erwartungen konsequent in den Mittelpunkt zu stellen. Den Leitfaden dazu bietet dieses Buch – mit gut durchdachten Konzepten und inspirierenden Beispielen.

The Habit of Labor: Lessons from a Life of Struggle and Success
by Stef Wertheimer&“There&’s no better way to explain the miracle of Israel than to examine the life of Stef Wertheimer . . . A story to be read by everyone&” (Warren Buffett). Forced to flee Nazi Germany with his family at age ten, Stef Wertheimer came to British Palestine in the late 1930s. He promptly dropped out of school, learned a trade through apprenticeship, and played a meaningful role in Israel&’s War of Independence. He also started a company—ISCAR—that began in a shed and ultimately made him one of the world&’s great self-made industrialists. In The Habit of Labor, Wertheimer shares the lessons he learned from a life of hardship and struggle in one of the world&’s newest industrial powers. Both a pragmatist and a visionary, Wertheimer has devoted much of his life to promoting Jewish and Arab economic development through innovative educational and vocational programs, along with the establishment of a series of thriving industrial parks in Israel and in Turkey. The future of Israel, he believes, is not in military might or diplomatic alliances but in its growing economic clout.

El hábito de liderar: Cómo piensa actúa la gente de éxito
by Adidas WilsonEscuchará a las personas poner excusas diciendo que no nacieron con el talento necesario para lograr el éxito. Es cierto que hay personas que han nacido con ventajas de alguna manera. Sin embargo, lograr el éxito en algo se condensa en comprometerse y dedicar el tiempo necesario para aprender y perfeccionar una habilidad. De hecho, el talento es solo un comienzo. Nadie niega que existe el talento natural. Hay personas con ventajas genéticas, especialmente cuando nos referimos a las habilidades físicas. Sin embargo, el éxito no siempre es un asunto físico para la mayoría de las personas. Solo quieren hacer algo y ser buenos en eso. Quieren ganar un salario decente mientras hacen algo que los satisfaga, todo para tener una vida cómoda. Cada persona exitosa que ves tuvo que trabajar duro para llegar allí; del velocista olímpico al músico de renombre mundial. ¿Quieres triunfar? De acuerdo, deja de meterte en tu camino. "Para ser una estrella, debes reflejar tu propia luz, seguir tu propio camino y no preocuparte por la oscuridad, porque es cuando las estrellas brillan más intensamente". Napoleon Hill
