(PRWEB) March 21, 2008 — Link to Your World social media thought leaders have recognized the need for strategic products and services, and have released their first book – The Emergence of The Relationship Economy.

Authors Scott Allen, Jay T. Deragon, Carter F. Smith, and Margaret G. Orem have co-authored the book which examines the factors that are influencing the emergence of The Relationship Economy.

Doc Searls, Co-Author of ‘The Cluetrain Manifesto provides a forward, while Ivan Misner, New York Times Bestselling author and Founder of BNI, as well as others offer endorsements. The Emergence of The Relationship Economy serves as a foundational resource for individuals and entities to use as each begins to plan for participation in the accelerated changes brought on my technological advances of the World Wide Web.

The goal of the book is to enable all parties to gain perspectives, knowledge, and insights as to the dynamics of technology, the impact of changes brought on by the social Web, and what factors should be considered for the purposes of planning for success.

The convergence of technology that accelerates the power of relationships and facilitates dynamic communications–peer to peer and to entire communities–is revolutionary. The book analyzes the factors that are influencing an emerging economy based on the sum of factors driving massive and significant changes to the way everyone will work, play, and live.

The book defines The Relationship Economy as: “The people and things we are connected with in our personal networks who or that distribute or consume our capital, which in turn influences our individual production outputs.” This emergence will have an especially profound effect on businesses and individuals. While individual factors are self-evident, the collective factors, taken as a whole, are the basis for individual conclusions for strategic opportunities that can be gained from the new economy.

Fairfax, VA (PRWEB) August 9, 2008 — Everyone knows about the North Star and the Wishing Star but it’s only a matter of time until we all know about “Nana Star.” Teaching children to feel loved and wanted, ee publishing’s first two book/plush/CD sets have each received an iParenting Media 2008 Outstanding Product Award. When asked how they felt about receiving the awards, Nana Star co-creators and sisters, Elizabeth Sills and Elena Patrice, said it was positively “Heavenly!”

Here’s what some of the iParenting reviewers said were the “Heavenly” characteristics of the Nana Star Book and Plush series:

Nana Star Book & Nana Star Plushie – The adventure begins when a little girl finds a tiny star in a pile of leaves one day while she’s out playing. He’s scared, barely twinkling, and he wants his Nana. She promises to bring him home, but it won’t be easy–he lives high up in the heavens. Book comes with bonus audio CD that includes The Nana Star Song performed by Nashville singer/songwriter Tricia Walker.

To make the book a little more interactive, the authors have included a spelling mistake in each book and encourage readers to find it and send them a postcard with the correction. Children are then eligible to receive an 8×10 photo of the Nana Star costumed character and become an honorary member of the Nana Star Little Twinkles Club. The Club is expanded on its website, www.NanaStar.com, where language arts activities for emerging readers are offered.

Included in this gift set is Nana Star, a plush character doll carrying Baby Star on a branch, just like in the story. Nana Star plush measures approximately 16″ and Baby Star fastens by Velcro to the branch and attaches to Nana Star’s arm like a bracelet. Award category: Books

Aptos, CA (PRWEB) April 23, 2009 — Surf City Growers today published an e-coloring book, How Organic Gardens Save the Earth, available as a free PDF download from their website, http://www.surfcitygrowers.com.

The story is about Reed, who buys his tomatoes from the supermarket, and Posey, who grows her own in the backyard. The tale tells how each tomato was grown, the journey it took to get to them, and what the Earth thinks about it all. It also talks about how special it is to share a harvest.

“We took our cue from the First Lady, Michelle Obama, when she broke ground last month at the White House with its first sustainable, organic garden in decades,” said Linda McNair, president, Surf City Growers, Inc. “She said ‘that through children, they will begin to educate their families and that will, in turn, begin to educate our communities.’ We couldn’t agree more and this is our way of contributing to that movement.”

Written by the founders of Surf City Growers – Trent and Linda McNair — and illustrated by Jeff Peterson, How Organic Gardens Save the Earth is an educational story book for children of elementary school age. The learning is internalized when the child spends time coloring the book. It’s also a perfect primer for parents who don’t know the difference between conventional and organic produce.
