Sensory Noir: A Symphony of Senses in a World of Shadows Step into a world where words are weaved from sensations and intrigue lurks within every scent, taste, and touch. "Sensory Noir" is a mesmerizing detective tale that challenges conventions and immerses you in a narrative painted with the hues of senses. Meet Detective Alex Lane, a protagonist who navigates a rain-soaked city by the tap-tap of raindrops and distant sirens. Blind since childhood, Alex's other senses become his guiding light as he delves into a complex case. A cryptic audio message sets the stage, and with each chapter, you're drawn deeper into a sensory odyssey. Turn the pages to unravel a world where senses speak louder than words and where a blind detective's journey proves that sometimes, the most vivid truths are the ones we feel.

Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere. -Albert Einstein Since the early 2000s, business storytelling has become a widely accepted strategy for companies around the world. Stories are harnessed in advertising, marketing, PR, and even leadership and culture development. Now for the first time ever, Once Upon an Innovation builds upon these practices and applies story techniques to creative problem solving and innovation. Stories light up the imagination, fostering the creative collaboration necessary to inspire, develop, and commercialize winning ideas. Stories also trigger the brain to release oxytocin, the trust and empathy hormone, making them a powerful tool for understanding and addressing users' needs. This also means that storytelling methods can be applied to the other half of the battle-getting others on board with new ideas as they move through the various checkpoints in an organization. This easy-to-read, how to guidebook provides story-based strategies and tools to: * generate rich and meaningful ideas. * rally stakeholders and a team around a vision. * gain empathy for user and insights into users. * bring formative ideas to life for testing and prototyping. - develop storytelling skills to persuade and inspire others. With an engaging balance of anecdotes, theories, and tools, Jean Storlie and Mimi Sherlock take their combined 50+ years of experience to illustrate how storytelling can be applied to accelerate innovation and lead change. Gather around the campfire-your story starts now.

In Woolrich's iconic tale, Detective Tom Shawn saves a lovely young woman from a suicide attempt one night, and later hears her story. She is in despair because the death of her wealthy father has been predicted by a confident man seemingly gifted with the power of clairvoyance; a man whose predictions have unerringly aided her father in his business many times before. Shawn and a squad of detectives investigate this dire prediction and try to avert the millionaire businessman from meeting his ordained end at the stroke of midnight. One of Cornell Woolrich's most influential novels, this classic noir tale of a man struggling with his ability to see the future is arguably the author's best in its depiction of a doomed vision of predestination.

Delving into the rationale behind influential communication, The Power And Influence Of Illustration helps you understand how to work with a message to create convincing illustrations for your audience. Alan Male explains how illustrative imagery can lampoon, shock, insult, threaten, subvert, ridicule, express discontent and proclaim political and religious allegiance. He explores how its tools have been used in the past, and looks at how contemporary illustrators can use their own work to persuade – and discusses where the line between persuasion and propaganda lies. These issues are explored using hundreds of full colour images from international artists, both contemporary and historical.
