PowerPoint sits on an estimated 73% of all desktop computers worldwide, and according to one study, corporate America wastes $370 million each day on bad PowerPoints. Slide decks are the lingua franca of business, loaded with templates, bells, and whistles. But perform a simple Google search on PowerPoint, and you’ll find pages upon pages of results offering templates, training, outlines, examples, and even agencies to help with presentations. There are over a million searches a month for presentation-related services on Google. PowerPoint isn’t a hard tool to use, so why are people searching for even more help or turning to competitors like Prezi, Google Slides, Canva, Pitch, and others? What people really need help with is composing a presentation that achieves results. In the knowledge economy, presentations are often the golden ticket that get junior managers into the boardroom, determine whether a project will go forward, and carry the next big idea. Great presentations inspire confidence and result in a ‘yes.’ Bad ones can kill an otherwise game-changing innovation. Despite slide decks being one of the biggest drains on businesses and people, they're not going anywhere. It’s time for that to change. "Deckonomics" is a step-by-step guide on how to develop succinct, authoritative presentations that result in action and move business forward.

Opening with David Mancuso's seminal “Love Saves the Day” Valentine's party, Tim Lawrence tells the definitive story of American dance music culture in the 1970s—from its subterranean roots in NoHo and Hell’s Kitchen to its gaudy blossoming in midtown Manhattan to its wildfire transmission through America’s suburbs and urban hotspots such as Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Newark, and Miami. Tales of nocturnal journeys, radical music making, and polymorphous sexuality flow through the arteries of Love Saves the Day like hot liquid vinyl. They are interspersed with a detailed examination of the era’s most powerful djs, the venues in which they played, and the records they loved to spin—as well as the labels, musicians, vocalists, producers, remixers, party promoters, journalists, and dance crowds that fueled dance music’s tireless engine. Love Saves the Day includes material from over three hundred original interviews with the scene's most influential players, including David Mancuso, Nicky Siano, Tom Moulton, Loleatta Holloway, Giorgio Moroder, Francis Grasso, Frankie Knuckles, and Earl Young. It incorporates more than twenty special dj discographies—listing the favorite records of the most important spinners of the disco decade—and a more general discography cataloging some six hundred releases. Love Saves the Day also contains a unique collection of more than seventy rare photos.

Defying Standardization pierces the veil of misinformation surrounding the push to standardize the curriculum expectations for 56 million public school children. It provides a high energy, passionate, and, well-researched argument of what curriculum should and can be to facilitate the development of unstandardized skills and dispositions necessary for a globally connected society. Defying Standardization dismantles the myths and lies surrounding international test rankings and demonstrates that there is no relationship to economic indicators or skills that drives the innovation economy. The book provides practical examples for how educators, students, and parents can defy standardization with locally developed, evidence-informed, and globally literate practices to facilitate the development of customized curricula. This book is for those who yearn for a vibrant, innovative, and creative school system in which all students are provided opportunities to pursue their passions and interests in ways that will prepare them to be well-rounded individuals and democratic citizens in a global community.
