"Once a big company makes the decision to grow, it has to learn how. New to Big presents a unique roadmap for big companies looking to spark powerful growth engines from within."&#160;  &ndash;Clayton Christensen, Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School and bestselling author of The Innovator&rsquo;s Dilemma and How Will You Measure Your Life? &#160; &ldquo;Big companies are normally where creativity goes to die. But David Kidder has spent his impressive career proving that it doesn&rsquo;t have to be that way. This is the long-awaited playbook for figuring out how to turn your bureaucracy into an innovation machine. Whether you&rsquo;re down in the trenches or up in the C-suite, it&rsquo;s full of smart ideas that are immediately actionable and immensely useful.&rdquo; &ndash;Adam Grant, bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take &#160; "New to Big has been one of the biggest mindset shifts we&rsquo;ve undertaken. Encouraging teams to fall in love with consumer problems while learning fast and encouraging leaders to think like venture capitalists has taken P&G back to its deeply entrepreneurial roots. A New to Big focus has created a culture of experimentation and speed. Combining this way of thinking with the strengths of a 181-year old company is transforming the way we innovate at P&G." &ndash;Kathy Fish, Chief Research, Development, and Innovation Officer, Procter & Gamble &#160; &ldquo;New to Big is a great how-to book for change leaders seeking to drive scalable, profitable growth in big companies, reminding us how to use deep questioning, masterful listening, and a learning culture to discover the &lsquo;commercial truth&rsquo;!&rdquo; &ndash;Kate Johnson, President, Microsoft U.S. &#160; &ldquo;New to Big offers a roadmap for how to think through challenges ahead and assists you in developing the mindset and tools required to thrive. If you are serious about growth, I recommend this book.&rdquo; &ndash;Linda A. Hill, Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School and co-author of Collective Genius: The Art and Practice of Leading Innovation

New to Big

"I quite like this book. I believe that the book describes itself quite well when it says: Mathematically correct yet highly intuitive…This book would be great for a class that one takes before one takes my statistical learning class. I often run into beginning graduate Data Science students whose background is not math (e.g., CS or Business) and they are not ready…The book fills an important niche, in that it provides a self-contained introduction to material that is useful for a higher-level statistical learning course. I think that it compares well with competing books, particularly in that it takes a more "Data Science" and "example driven" approach than more classical books."~Randy Paffenroth, Worchester Polytechnic Institute

'Motion, Heath, and Leitch have done excellent work in the past and this is no exception. The area of social media and public relations has long needed an authoritative and critical text and Social Media and Public Relations fills that void.' - Michael L. Kent, Professor, University of Tennessee Knoxville, USA
'Social Media and Public Relations provides an insight into a growing area of focus in social media while tying in emerging trends and historical perspectives in public relations. This book helps explore the current issues, risks, opportunities, and challenges involving social media from the audience perspective, which can be applicable for practitioners and researchers – adding a needed area of discussion in social media research and practice within public relations.' - Karen Freberg, Assistant Professor, University of Louisville, USA
'Social Media and Public Relations disrupts the notion that social media has ameliorated public relations. Motion, Heath, and Leitch question the relationship between public relations and social media to reveal the complexities and tensions between social media cultures and the promotion-oriented goals of public relations. Sharply written and scrupulously documented, this is a must read for scholars, practitioners, and students interested in the future of social media in public relations.' - Adam J. Saffer, Assistant Professor, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA

"This excellent book is sure to provide guidance to PLC groups wanting to focus on improved use and understanding of assessment as it relates to raising the level of rigor. Blackburn offers practical ideas that all principals need to firm up their basic knowledge of assessment, and to lead successful discussions with their staff. The book also equips teachers with a good foundation of assessment, reminding them of what rigor is and what rigor isn’t." 
– Susan Gorman, Director of Student Improvement, Osawatomie USD 367, KS
"Since the term ‘rigor’ is an integral part of the teaching and learning fabric, this book’s concrete explanation of what rigor in assessment actually means will benefit all teachers, school leaders and district leaders." 
– Nikki Mouton, Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Gwinnett County Public Schools, GA
"Barbara Blackburn consistently drives home the need for increased rigor in our schools. In her latest book on rigor and assessment, she gives practical advice and strategies to which teachers understand and relate. I am thankful for her work on rigor and the difference it is made in my district. Thank you, Barbara."
--Dr. Karen Hickman, Deputy Superintendent of Academic Achievement, Pasadena ISD, TX

The illustrations - including photographs of animals, lesions and techniques as well as microscopic images - are excellent...a well presented and very readable book—Lesa Longley, Veterinary Times, February 2010The authors have provided a quick guide for the busy general veterinary clinician to use. [They] should be commended on putting together this useful text for the ever-growing veterinary interest to treat exotic animals.—Thomas Tully, Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine, April 2009...a fun and interesting way to learn about these species, and provides pithy and accurate, up to date assessments of most of the common conditions and problems that will present in this diverse group of animals. It should be a welcome addition to the book shelf of those dealing with exotic animals.—Sharon Redrobe, The Veterinary Journal, April 2009This is a useful self assessment resource for experienced and novice practitioners caring for exotic animal pets...

… features insights by four world-renowned experts on the topic. Advanced, college-level collections in computer graphics will find this offers game programmers a fine survey of shadowing methods that use different combinations of scenes, shapes, lighting and more for their effects. All of the approaches under one cover make this volume a top recommendation for game programmers and advanced computer graphics collections alike.—Midwest Book Review, December 2011
Shadows are one of the most visually important effects in computer graphics. Far from being a solved problem, generating efficient and robust shadows is one of the most active research topics in real-time rendering. Fortunately, four of the world’s foremost experts in real-time shadows have come together to write this excellent book, covering everything from the basics of simple shadow mapping to the state-of-the-art research in GPU-enabled soft and hard shadow techniques. If you work in games or real-time graphics, you owe it to yourself to get this book.—David Luebke, NVIDIA Research

Real-Time Shadows is a wonderful book about a very important topic in computer graphics, and I hope it will cast a long and soft-edged shadow on the real-time graphics industry. This way, future games can look even better, and I am certain that this book will also serve as inspiration for more advanced research.—Tomas Akenine-Möller, Lund University and Intel Corporation

There is a multitude of shadowing methods distributed across a wide variety of books and papers, each capitalizing on different combinations of various scene configurations, shape representations, lighting effects, aliasing situations, and computational resources. This book does a great job of collecting all of these together into a single volume of concise algorithm descriptions to make it easier to find the right shadowing method and then implement it.—John C. Hart, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and former editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Graphics

At first glance, shadows seem to be a solved problem, but with limited time budget in real-time games they’re not. There is a zoo of shadow rendering techniques in games, and finally here is a book that covers them all. The authors are among the most knowledgeable people I know on all kind of occlusion problems and guide us through the various quality and performance tradeoffs.—Martin Mittring, Epic Games

‘A comprehensive presentation of current practices in the field of Play Therapy. Highly recommended!’ – Charles E. Schaefer, Ph.D., RPT-S, Cofounder & Director Emeritus, the Association for Play Therapy.
‘What a wonderful new addition to our field! Each chapter is authored by an experienced clinician and expert in the topic and it clearly shows. It is refreshing to read clearly articulated approaches with case examples. The result is the ability to easily put the information into action. In fact, I used two of the techniques right away with current clients. Another chapter assisted me in viewing a client in a new way, assisting to facilitate more effective treatment. What a delight. I believe this book will be found valuable by both the new and seasoned play therapist.’ – Linda E. Homeyer, PhD, RPTS, Professor, Texas State University, USA.
