Here―in haunting words and pictures―is the story of the river and of the people and places along its shores. From its birth at Pittsburgh in the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, the Ohio flows nearly a thousand miles, gathering the waters of its tributaries, carving a pathway through the land, giving rise to cities, forming the boundaries of five states, and finally emptying into the Mississippi to complete its journey to the sea. This powerful river shaped the history, the culture, and the character of those who followed the river's lure in the eighteenth century and those who make their homes beside it today. It was the first great pathway to the West, the trail of danger, the highway of hope. The Ohio today flows through the industrial heartland of the United States. Drawn by the power of this great river, writer John Ed Pearce and photographer Richard Nugent have traveled the Ohio from Pittsburgh to Cairo and back, seeking out the scenes, the echoes of history, the rhythms of life for those who call the Ohio home. This book is the record of their discoveries―on the river itself and in the villages and cities and farmlands that form it shores.

The Alignment Advantage: Transform Your Strategy, Culture and Customers to Succeed

Strategy, culture and customers are the key elements of any business. But to truly succeed, they need to be effectively built, refined and aligned.Studies show that organizations which are highly aligned are 72% more profitable than their competition. The Alignment Advantage shows how you can achieve this through a practical and proven framework which can be adapted to all businesses, whether it's a small start-up, multinational organization or somewhere in between. Arguing that Peter Drucker's claim that "culture eats strategy for breakfast" is counterproductive and Simon Sinek's "start with why" approach is compelling yet flawed, Richard Nugent dismisses flawed approaches and creates a clear, accessible blueprint for a more collaborative, data-driven and efficient organization. Illustrated with fascinating case studies from the likes of LEGO and Nike, The Alignment Advantage cuts through organizational silos and inter-departmental tensions to provide an aligned and strategic approach that will allow you to build your success, refine your processes and align your efforts to target your customers and clients.
