Title:
Turnaround
: Stories of: Behind the Scenes Political Washington, A Great American Industry, and Fun Along the Way
|
Author: George H. “Bud” Lawrence
Brief Description: During times when the atmosphere in political
Washington was more relaxed than the intense partisanship and security
precautions of today, this book is about a lobbyist and spokesman whose
credentials stemmed from his petroleum industry heritage and experience, not
from the ways of Washington, but who adapted to those ways with enthusiasm. The
phrase “listen and learn” appears more than once.
It is about a headquarters move to Washington
that made a difference at a critical time in the history of the natural gas
industry ... and its principal trade association. The lobbyist and his talented
staff were blessed with a long list of dedicated industry leaders who saw their
industry through a period of decline due to suffocating federal regulation, its
turnaround and its prosperity.
The National Energy Resources Organization (NERO)
in its prestigious annual awards ceremony in 1981 lauded “... this renaissance
of the U.S. gas industry.”

Creating Products in the Age of Design
|
Author: Susan P. Besemer
Brief Description: Increasingly in today’s commercial world, good design plays an important role in consumers’ judgments of products. Shoppers are becoming more aware of and more sophisticated about style, demanding not only quality, but also good design and value in the products they buy. This awareness of style is becoming a “tiebreaker” in the decision to buy. This trend affects the success of any product, whether it is targeted at consumers, or at highly specialized, technical or industrial clients. If product developers and inventors fail to take this phenomenon into consideration, they are in danger of not achieving their greatest success, no matter how new and useful their products may be. . .
