Essentially Human: On Sales and Salespeople reframes the often-misunderstood profession of sales and salespeople by revealing the core traits and behaviors that distinguish truly exceptional practitioners. Drawing on four decades of executive-level leadership, firsthand stories from top performers across multiple disciplines, and tapping into the rigorous academic research on the psychology of sales and human behavior, Smith delivers a clear, practical, and highly readable guide. If you've ever wondered why your training is not effective, why some sales hires promise so much but deliver so little, why experience, industry knowledge, training, and even the best compensation plans can fall flat with some salespeople, this book is for you. Essentially Human: On Sales and Salespeople elevates sales from a set of tactics to a fundamental understanding of human behavior and its implications in sales environments. It deserves a place on the shelves of executives, managers, and sales professionals at every stage of their careers.

The intriguing story of British Columbia's most productive silver mining region and the vibrant communities that built up around it in the late 1800s.Mining Camp Tales of the Silvery Slocan tells the often-overlooked story of British Columbia's silver rush and its accompanying boom towns. In the 1890s, mining camps like Sandon, Three Forks, Whitewater and their neighbours, New Denver, Silverton, Slocan City, Kaslo and Nakusp, thrived. Prospectors and miners from Idaho, Montana, and other mining centres arrived in droves to reap the silver harvest. Capitalists flooded in from Spokane, Seattle, Vancouver, and from investment centres across North America and the world.At its height, the silver rush ushered in a frenzy of activity, where "cities" sprang up out of nowhere, cultures clashed, greed and racism prevailed, law and order was a matter of perspective, and yet, somehow, people still united in song, dance, and a spirit of community. Although the boom era was short-lived--as plummeting silver prices, labour disputes, natural disasters, and the discovery of Klondike gold severely dampened the spirits of the Silvery Slocan--the rush left a legacy that endures to this day. This book opens up a wealth of historical facts, anecdotes, and archival material on a chapter of mining history that has been largely forgotten until now.

This insightful book discusses how law schools engage with the public to expand the public’s understanding of the law. It shows that effective engagement is achieved through recognising the university and the public as part of a shared community, working towards both individual and collective goals.Peter Smith explores the concept of public engagement and the methods employed by the law schools that partake in it. By examining the historical roles of universities and law schools, he develops a model of engagement, detailing the organisation, ideas, choices and values of these institutions. This unique book demonstrates that public engagement is a vital aspect of the work of law schools, and advocates for a relationship between these establishments and the public that values the expertise, experiences and requirements of both parties.Researchers and educators with an interest in legal education, pedagogy and law and society will greatly benefit from this innovative book. It will also be a crucial reference for those who are researching the role of universities in society and public engagement with higher education institutions.
