BOSTON, MA – New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Pull of Customers, The Push of Processes, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling author Jim Champy.

From the time the first business opened its doors centuries ago, Champy writes, people have been trying to define the essence of a company. Some have claimed that a business is its bottom line. Others have argued that a company is its customers, or its marketing power, or its products, or its people. Today, what best defines a business, Champy believes, is its processes – all the things a company does to create and sell its goods and services. Here’s how to make the most of yours.

BOSTON, MA – New Word City LLC announces the publication of The Making of the Constitution, a new eBook by New York Times bestselling historian and novelist Thomas Fleming.

Fifty-five men from 12 virtually autonomous states came to Philadelphia in 1776 in a brave – some thought foolhardy – attempt to replace a loose and fragile confederation with a strong national government. They were politicians, judges, governors, and Revolutionary War veterans. Their differences seemed irreconcilable. For a long, hot summer they debated, argued, and compromised. In the end they carved out a bold new document designed to “secure the blessings of liberty” for American that became a standard of enlightenment the world over. Here is Fleming’s dramatic account of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 and its astonishing result.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Thomas Fleming is one of the most distinguished and productive historians and novelists of our time. He has written 20 nonfiction books that have won prizes and praise from critics and fellow historians, many focused on the American Revolution. He has also written 23 novels, many of them bestsellers, which explore the lives of men and women in vivid narratives that range from the raw America of the 1730s to the superpower that confronted World War II and endured Korea and Vietnam.
