Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK   Once in a great while a writer comes along who can truly capture the drama and passion of the life of a family. David James Duncan, author of the novel The River Why and the collection River Teeth, is just such a writer. And in The Brothers K he tells a story both striking and in its originality and poignant in its universality.   This touching, uplifting novel spans decades of loyalty, anger, regret, and love in the lives of the Chance family. A father whose dreams of glory on a baseball field are shattered by a mill accident. A mother who clings obsessively to religion as a ward against the darkest hour of her past. Four brothers who come of age during the seismic upheavals of the sixties and who each choose their own way to deal with what the world has become. By turns uproariously funny and deeply moving, and beautifully written throughout, The Brothers K is one of the finest chronicles of our lives in many years.   Praise for The Brothers K "The pages of The Brothers K sparkle."--The New York Times Book Review "Duncan is a wonderfully engaging writer."--Los Angeles Times "This ambitious book succeeds on almost every level and every page."--USA Today "Duncan's prose is a blend of lyrical rhapsody, sassy hyperbole and all-American vernacular."--San Francisco Chronicle "The Brothers K affords the . . . deep pleasures of novels that exhaustively create, and alter, complex worlds. . . . One always senses an enthusiastic and abundantly talented and versatile writer at work."--The Washington Post Book World "Duncan . . . tells the larger story of an entire popular culture struggling to redefine itself--something he does with the comic excitement and depth of feeling one expects from Tom Robbins."--Chicago Tribune.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. "A page-turner that reads like a mystery"​ (Mark Bertolini, former chairman and CEO, Aetna) that delivers key insights to the questions: who really are our customers, why do we lose them, how do we regain them? Customers can be a mystery. Despite the availability of more data than ever before, everyone, from the CEO to salespeople in the field, struggles to understand who their customers really are, what they want, why they lose them, and how to regain them. To crack the case, start thinking like a market detective. David Scott Duncan shows how in his entertaining story of Tazza, a fictional chain of cafes with declining sales and leaders urgently seeking to understand why. The vivid characters of Tazza's market detective force come to their aha moment when they finally understand why their most loyal customers walked out the door--and how they can get them back.

They "hire" companies to solve a problem or fulfill a need and "fire" them when unhappy. Duncan's fresh way of thinking about how to understand your customers' secret lives provides an innovative path for solving whatever market mysteries you face.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. For seventeen years, internationally acclaimed photographer David Douglas Duncan was a trusted friend of Pablo Picasso and his family. He took thousands of photographs of the artist, inside his studio-homes, and of his then-unknown canvases - "Picasso's Picassos." Now, in Picasso Paints a Portrait, Duncan reveals his unprecedented photojournalistic coup: capturing the legendary Spanish master as he created a constantly changing oil-on-canvas portrait of Jacqueline, his companion and future wife. These historic pictures were selected from hundreds taken in two days at Villa La Californie on the French Riviera, the center of Picasso's world in 1957. There, the 76-year-old Picasso and Duncan stood virtually shoulder-to-shoulder in the midsummer heat, surrounded by the artist's canvases, collages, and metal-flanged sculptures . one man painting, the other photographing. They rarely exchanged a word. Duncan presents his pictures without captions. The elegant preface and two pages of intimate "Memories" share the photographer's thoughts as he watched his genius neighbor at work. No museum curator, or art historian, was ever allowed closer to Picasso for such endless hours while he was painting. Page by page. David Douglas Duncan unfolds his extraordinary photo-biography of one portrait - with Pablo Picasso, himself, as its silent but most eloquent narrator.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. In his passionate, luminous novels, David James Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee, Tom Robbins, and J.D.
