'Piano virtuoso Vladimir de Pachmann (1848-1933) is remembered today more often than not for the comic and sometimes bizarre on-stage behavior that earned him the epithet "Chopinzee." Yet during his years as a performer, Pachmann was regarded as one of the four or five greatest pianists in the world, and as the outstanding exponent of Chopin. Mark Mitchell's richly detailed biography -- the first to be published -- reconciles the personality with the playing by offering a thorough account of the pianist's life as well as a complete reappraisal of his musicianship. Beginning with Pachmann's childhood in Odessa, Mitchell follows the process by which the youngest of 13 children evolved into one of the finest -- and most colorful -- artists in the history of the piano, one who was able to fill London's Albert Hall for a recital. Particular emphasis is laid on the two principal relationships of Pachmann's life: with the pianist Marguerite Okey, to whom he was married for a decade, and with Francesco Pallottelli, the waiter-turned-impresario under whose influence he eventually settled in Fascist-era Italy. Tracing an arc from Beethoven -- an acquaintance of Pachmann's father -- to Pierre Boulez -- a pupil of Pachmann's son -- Mitchell's biography urges a reassessment of a musician whose life and legacy have been too long in eclipse.'

No other industry is as dependent on the channel of distribution for it's success than the building materials industry. Many people new to the industry and ad agencies don't realize this and struggle to develop effective sales and marketing programs. There are no trade magazines or organizations for the building material marketer. They either have to rely on general marketing sources or their channel customer's organizations such as the NAHB or the AIA. I wrote this book to fill the need to both educate anyone new as well as to challenge the more experienced to take a fresh look at how they go to market. There are chapters on: How the Residential and Commercial Channels Work: The Importance of Influencers; Who has the Most Knowledge and Power?; The Biggest Mistakes Building Material Marketers Make; How to Sell Builders, Big Boxes, Lumber Dealers, Showroom Dealers, Contractors, Distributors, Architects, Design Build and Facility Managers; Marketing Budgets; The Problem with Trade Shows and How to do Them Right; The Problem with Agencies; and On Being Green.
