  Mortal Fall: A Novel of Suspense , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 776min

  A wildlife biologist's shocking death leads to chilling discoveries in Christine Carbo's haunting and compelling new crime novel set in the wilds of Glacier National Park. Glacier National Park police officer Monty Harris knows that each summer at least one person - be it a reckless, arrogant climber or a distracted hiker - will meet tragedy in the park. But Paul "Wolfie" Sedgewick's fatal fall from the sheer cliffs near Going-to-the-Sun Road is incomprehensible. Wolfie was an experienced and highly regarded wildlife biologist who knew all too well the perils that Glacier's treacherous terrain presents - and how to avoid them. The case, so close to home, has frayed park employee emotions. Yet calm and methodical lead investigator Monty senses in his gut that something isn't right. So when whispers of irresponsibility or suicide emerge, tarnishing Wolfie's reputation, Monty dedicates himself to uncovering the truth - for the sake of the man's family and to satisfy his own persistent sense of unease. Monty discovers that Wolfie's zealous studies of Glacier's mysterious, embattled wolverine population, so vital to park ecology, had met resistance, both local and federal. To muddy the waters further, a wilderness facility for rehabilitating troubled teens - one that Monty's older brother attended - may have a disturbing connection to the case. As Monty delves further into an investigation that goes deeper than he ever imagined, he wrestles with the demons of his past, which lead back to harsh betrayals he thought he'd buried long ago. And then a second body is found. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: R.C. Bray. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/blak/008699/bk_blak_008699_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

  The Problems with Poor Customer Service, How Companies Can Enhance Customer Service, and Strategies for How Brands Can Win Back Lost Customers , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 41min

  This book sheds light on the problems with offering poor customer service and elucidates how companies can enhance customer service. Moreover, strategies for how brands can win back disaffected customers are also delineated. It is almost inconceivable to fathom that a preponderance of frontline employees do not care about providing stellar customer service even though their brand’s longevity and profitability depends on the quality of their resourcefulness in assisting the customer. The cost of a company having eminently poor customer service is quite devastating in the long haul to the company’s profitability. Furthermore, offering sub-par customer service can adversely impact a business in multiple facets beyond comprised profitability. Poor customer service not only elicits negative brand recognition, a comprised brand reputation, the loss of brand loyalty, the forfeiture of future lifetime customers, and a reduction of brand equity but can also lead to higher employee turnover rates.Moreover, offering abysmal customer service not only culminates in reduced employee morale but also causes negative word of mouth about the brand to be rapidly disseminated on social media websites like a wildfire. Inefficient customer service instances can transpire when even part of time is spent arguing with customers. This will almost always lead to unsatisfied customers.Treating customers without any respect and leaving their issues unresolved is one the fastest way to become infamous for having the most terrible customer service. It is estimated that in the United States alone, over 83 billion dollars of potential sales revenue each year is forgone due to customers receiving poor customer service. Irate, incompetent, and argumentative customer service representatives contribute to tarnishing a brand’s reputation and having their company succumb to negative net losses. ungekürzt.

  Northern Ireland, the BBC, and Censorship in Thatcher's Britain (eBook, PDF)

  This is a study of how the Northern Ireland conflict was presented to an increasingly global audience during the premiership of Britain's 'Iron Lady', Margaret Thatcher. It addresses the tensions that characterized the relationship between the broadcast media and the Thatcher Government throughout the 1980s. Robert J. Savage explores how that tension worked its way into decisions made by managers, editors, and reporters addressing a conflict that seemed insoluble. Margaret Thatcher mistrusted the broadcast media, especially the BBC, believing it had a left-wing bias that was hostile to her interests and policies. This was especially true of the broadcast media's reporting about Northern Ireland. She regarded investigative reporting that explored the roots of republican violence in the region or coverage critical of her government's initiatives as undermining the rule of law, and thereby providing terrorists with what she termed the 'oxygen of publicity'. She followed in the footsteps of the Labour Government that proceeded her by threatening and bullying both the BBC and IBA, promising that the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act would be deployed to punish journalists that came into contact with the IRA. Although both networks continued to offer compelling news and current affairs programming, the tactics of her government produced considerable success. Wary of direct government intervention, both networks encouraged a remarkable degree of self-censorship when addressing 'the Troubles'. Regardless, by 1988, the Thatcher Government, unhappy with criticism of its policies, took the extraordinary step of imposing formal censorship on the British broadcast media. The infamous 'broadcasting ban' lasted six years, successfully silencing the voices of Irish republicans while tarnishing the reputation of the United Kingdom as a leading global democracy.
