"Rubik's Cube is a modern-day mechanical marvel, surpassing the ancient wonders of the Hellenistic tradition and rivaling John Dee's Scarabaeus of 1547 in the ingeniousness of its internal construction. To the uninitiated it is simply a delightful plaything for children or a perplexing puzzle for adults. But to those who know, its deceptively innocent exterior can be transformed into a kaleidoscope of changing patterns, governed by subtle laws of mathematical symmetry. Behind the apparent chaos lies a way into the beautiful theory of groups. Even to fully understand the patterns formed by moving just two faces requires a good grasp of group theory and its relation to finite geometry. Yet none of this knowledge is necessary to solve the puzzle. Simply by reading this book you will obtain the keys to the solution, and with a little practice you will be able to change the cube from chaos to order in under five minutes."

Ten years ago, Up Against the Wal-Marts helped smaller businesses take on the corporate retailing empire. Now, with the giants bigger and more influential than ever, the underdogs have an even tougher struggle. The second edition of Up Against the Wal-Marts is here to help, with an updated focus on marketing and brand new ways to conquer (or at least co-exist with) the Goliaths of the shopping mall. 
The authors have updated many of the businesses profiled in the original edition -- so readers can see how those companies have refined their operations to stay competitive -- and they detail the best practices of hundreds of successful small companies. The book also examines several fast-growth chains in a variety of markets. With advice for improving customer service and loyalty, maximizing the power of electronic marketing, hiring and keeping great employees, and more, Up Against the Wal-Marts is a formidable strategic tool any business can use to become (and remain) competitive.
