Lammatava pingega kummituslik lugu, mis poeb su naha alla. – The Suspense is Thrilling Me Keegi ei tea, kes ta tegelikult on… Hattie Hoffman on kogu oma elu rolle manginud: eeskujulik opilane, eeskujulik tutar, eeskujulik kodanik. Aga Hattie tahab midagi enamat, midagi suuremat ja, nagu lopuks selgub, midagi vaga ohtlikku. Kui Hattie julmalt surnuks pussitatakse, rebib tragoodia tema vaikese kokkuhoidva kodulinna ribadeks. Peagi saab selgeks, et Hattiel oli vagagi kompromiteeriv salasuhe. Tekib kusimus, kes veel sellest teadis? Ja kui kaugele oleksid nad valmis minema, et suhtele lopp teha? Hattie poiss naib tema surma tottu lausa hullunud, aga voib-olla oli ta Hattiesse nii sugavalt armunud, et tudruk oli muutunud tema jaoks kinnisideeks? Voi sattus Hattie oma impulsiivse ja uljaspaise iseloomu tottu lihtsalt valel ajal valesse kohta, mis viis lopuks tema vagivaldse surmani kellegi voora kae labi? Kaanakuid ja ootamatuid poordeid tais „Hattie Hoffmani viimane vaatus” taastab lugeja silme ees viimase aasta ohtlikult kutkestava noore naise elus, mille jooksul kerkivad pinnale vaikelinna hamaraimad saladused… ning neiu ise liigub surmale uha lahemale. Mindy Mejial on Minnesota ulikooli bakalaureusekraad ja Hamline’i ulikooli kaunite kunstide magistrikraad. Kui pogusad vahepeatused Iowa Citys ja Galways valja arvata, on ta elanud kogu oma elu Minneapolises, kus on pidanud palju ameteid alates ounakorjajast ja lopetades muugijuhiga. Voimas ja nugaterav „Hattie Hoffmani viimane vaatus” paneb lugeja motlema piiridele suutuse ja suu, toelise olemuse ja pettuse vahel. Kas armastus viib eneseavastuse voi enesehavituseni? Suureparane ullatusi tais romaan, lugejad avastavad roomuga, et see raamat on uks vahestest, mis uhe paevaga labi loetakse. – Suspense Magazine Fantastiline… – Pioneer Press Need lugejad, kes votavad selle haarava psuhholoogilise poneviku katte seetottu, et raamatul on uhiseid jooni Gillian Flynni romaaniga „Kadunud”, avastavad peagi roomuga, et Mejia enesekindel kirjutamislaad annab tuntud teemadele hoopis uue sugavuse, kasitledes manipulatsiooni ja identiteeti veelgi teravama nurga alt. –Booklist Starred Review

X. The Experience When Business Meets Design
Автор: Brian Solis
Год издания:
Welcome to a new era of business in which your brand is defined by those who experience it. Do you know how your customers experience your brand today? Do you know how they really feel? Do you know what they say when you re not around? In an always-on world where everyone is connected to information and also one another, customer experience is your brand. And, without defining experiences, brands become victim to whatever people feel and share. In his new book X: The Experience When Business Meets Design bestselling author Brian Solis shares why great products are no longer good enough to win with customers and why creative marketing and delightful customer service too are not enough to succeed. In X, he shares why the future of business is experiential and how to create and cultivate meaningful experiences. This isn’t your ordinary business book. The idea of a book was re-imagined for a digital meets analog world to be a relevant and sensational experience. Its aesthetic was meant to evoke emotion while also giving new perspective and insights to help you win the hearts and minds of your customers. And, the design of this book, along with what fills its pages, was done using the principles shared within. Brian shares more than the importance of experience. You’ll learn how to design a desired, meaningful and uniform experience in every moment of truth in a fun way including: How our own experience gets in the way of designing for people not like us Why empathy and new perspective unlock creativity and innovation The importance of User Experience (UX) in real life and in executive thinking The humanity of Human-Centered Design in all you do The art of Hollywood storytelling from marketing to product design to packaging Apple’s holistic approach to experience architecture The value of different journey and experience mapping approaches The future of business lies in experience architecture and you are the architect. Business, meet design. X
