New Releases by Kevin Roberts

In the debates about what''s next for marketing, communications and the media, the voice of Kevin Roberts is clear and compelling. Roberts is CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi, Ideas Company. He turned the world of marketing upside down with the international bestseller Lovemarks: the future beyond brands. Now he''s back with a book inspired by the screen-sisomo: the future on screen.

Solomon, the wisest man in history, was Israel''s third king. While his name does not appear as the author of Ecclesiastes, his fingerprints are all over the book. His words challenge and encourage the reader to live as if his or her time were short and to fear God in all things. This interdisciplinary commentary is written for serious students of the Bible, including professors, Sunday School teachers, and laypeople who want both a theological and psychological perspective on this much beloved and fascinating Old Testament book.

An exciting first collection of stories by the author of Deep Line, West Country and S''neymous that mixes crisp social realism with long fanciful rambles and terse tales full of poetic symbolism: "Listen. Hear that tahonk tahonk tahonk out there in the dusk. That sound''s Flash Harry''s 10-14 Easthope. Timing''s out. That''s how Flash Harry he run the Merry Maid. Real bad retard. Real haywire, like that hippy draft dodger, he got everything wired together. He probably about the worst fisherman outa Squinteye Bay." Roberts'' comic stories bear comparison with those of Hodgins and W.P. Kinsella. But he also shows himself a master of varying styles throughout this highly impressive debut volume, offering memorable naturalistic tales of anguish and terse evocations of poetic symbolism.
