Abstract

If you have ever wondered how we get from the awesome impersonality of the Big Bang universe to the point where living creatures can start to form, and evolve into beings like you, your friends and your family, wonder no more. Steve Miller provides us with a tour through the chemical evolution of the universe, from the formation of the first molecules all the way to the chemicals required for life to evolve. Using a simple Hydrogen molecule – known as H-three-plus - as a guide, he takes us on a journey that starts with the birth of the first stars, and how, in dying, they pour their hearts out into enriching the universe in which we live. Our molecular guide makes its first appearance at the source of the Chemical Cosmos, at a time when only three elements and a total of 11 molecules existed. From those simple beginnings, H-three-plus guides us down river on the violent currents of exploding stars, through the streams of the Interstellar Medium, and into the delta where new stars and planets form. We are finally left on the shores of the sea of life. Along the way, we meet the key characters who have shaped our understanding of the chemistry of the universe, such as Cambridge physicist J.J. Thomson and the Chicago chemist Takeshi Oka. And we are given an insider’s view of just how astronomers, making use of telescopes and Earth-orbiting satellites, have put together our modern view of the Chemical Cosmos.

Abstract

Improvement is not innovation?and innovation is essential if your aim is to survive in today's business environment.Stealing Genius lays the foundation for a dramatic, and long-overdue, shift in 21st-century strategic marketing and branding. Most executives and decision-makers are now focused on improving what they already have. They want better versions of the products and services they know about or understand. However, fixating on improvement in today's world is a dangerous path-one that ultimately leads to commoditization and irrelevance. Targeting your time, attention, and resources on innovation, by contrast, means identifying something that does not exist right now in any form-something that will create a powerful, uncopyable experience for your target customer.In order to be successful both today and in the future, you need to separate yourself from the competition by practicing the breakthrough principle of Adaptive Innovation-what Steve Miller calls Stealing Genius?. How? By delivering an experience that the competition either cannot or will not attempt to copy. This is literally impossible if you stick to what is already familiar to you, because whatever is familiar to you and your customers is likely to be familiar to your competition. You must create a new experience that is unique to you and that fosters a powerful emotional attachment with your target customer.Featuring dozens of real-life case studies from a wide range of industries, Stealing Genius outlines Miller's proven six-step process for creating an uncopyable experience. You'll learn how to:? Do more than think outside the box-you'll build a new box completely? Identify your "Moose," the distinctive customer/client profile for which you are hunting? Leverage insight from daily experience, personal heroes, and organizations outside your industry to better serve your customers? Flip the competition by doing the exact opposite of what those in your industry are currently doing? Maximize your strategic innovation by bringing in a Stealing Genius? facilitatorIf you are trying to anticipate the crowd's movement, you might as well be following the crowd.

Abstract

What separates average businesses from extraordinarily successful ones?Better product? Nope. Your competitor will rapidly reverse-engineer your "secret sauce" and get their "better-than-you" version on the market faster than you can say "Usain Bolt."Better customer service? Guess what? All of your competitors say they provide the best customer service. It's a wishy washy phrase . . . a vague generality with no meaningful specific.Better pricing? You're kidding, right? The company that lives on price dies on price.More harsh reality: Almost all industries today struggle with the increasing commoditization of their products and services, putting considerable pressure on prices and margins, leading to fiercer competition.The Solution?You must create an Uncopyable Attachment with your customers. They must see you as not only delivering a superior product but also as a high-value relationship they simply cannot get anywhere else. In Uncopyable, Steve Miller compellingly argues that new advantage isn't found by going "outside the box"-you must actually build your own box. Uncopyable will guide you to achieving an unfair and enduring competitive advantage.
