Nina Joblonski opens by commenting on Darwin's pigmentation and his upbringing. She further speaks of his voyage on the Beagle and his interest in the pigmentation of humans. Darwin did not believe that there was any correlation to skin pigmentation and climate. However, Joblonski points out that if Darwin had access to NASA satellites that he may have come to a different conclusion. One of NASA's satellites has capabilities to monitor the Earth's radiation close to the surface. As a result, researchers today have been able to study skin pigmentation and the exposure to solar radiation and find that there is a perfect gradient and strong correlation between the two.

Varying Theories on the Physiology of Emotions

Relationship marketing is one of the fastest growing research topics in business and marketing today. The premise of relationship marketing is very broad and includes or should include external and internal relationship building as a reciprocal factor for firm success. Successful relationship marketing, according to the literature, results in high productivity, high employee and customer satisfaction, low employee and customer attrition and ultimately high profitability and success. According to businessdictionary.com relationship marketing is defined as: Marketing activities that are aimed at developing and managing trusting and long-term relationships with larger customers. In relationship marketing, customer profile, buying patterns, and history of contacts are maintained in a sales database, and an account executive is assigned to one or more major customers to fulfill their needs and maintain the relationship (n.d.) Yet, fundamentally, this definition of relationship marketing (RM) demonstrates only one aspect of its purpose, which is ultimately for the firm to develop both internal (employee) and external (customer) relationships by building and maintaining professional and possibly even personal relationships with all members of the firm community. The defining desire of relationship marketing is to make each participating member, be it a large or even in some cases small customers, firm employees and even suppliers all feel as if they are valued and respected. The goal of relationship marketing being to make each feel important to the firm and supported in whatever way possible. This work will discuss RM in these terms, as both an internal and external tool to support firm success arguing the thesis that relationship marketing is both an external and internal component of success as well as a vital component for successful marketing of firms. To perform this analysis the work will first look at a base of literature that supports either internal or external relationship marketing or both and then use this information to investigate an existing firm which states a mission focused on both internal and external relationship marketing and reports success. The firm analyzed will report factors of success in this process using a holistic relationship marketing mission and will; report high customer and employee satisfaction, low levels of employee and customer attrition, higher productivity and higher profitability as compared to a previous mission structure.

Originally published in 1922 by German writer Hermann Hesse, the classic novel of personal discovery Siddhartha has since become one of the most widely read works of religious fiction ever written. By presenting the tale of a young man named Siddhartha coming of age in ancient India, the European-born and Christian-raised Hesse manages to portray mankind's collective yearning for spiritual satisfaction through a highly readable and relatable narrative. While the novel focuses on the age of Gautama Buddha, whose teachings attracted millions of followers and eventually formed the foundations of modern Buddhism, Siddhartha himself is the son of a respected Hindu Brahmin and has trouble identifying with any particular system of belief. Embarking on an epic journey of reflection and awakening, Siddhartha experiences both self-sacrifice and the temptation of worldly pleasures as he grows into manhood, before eventually encountering Gautama Buddha in the flesh.

The story significantly depicts not only the preoccupation of the 17th hundred London issues and a trend brought by the progressive industrialization of time, but speaks so much relevance in our modern time as well. The epigraph which sums up the very essence of the story explains the dynamic of a human being too busy to mingle with the crowd for fear of facing the haunting memory of a disturbed self, the lonely person, the conscience and the unsettling disturbances deep within. The epigraph "Such a great misfortune, not to be able to be alone" (Soya 147) is rich in context within the story, but also a rich source of reflection of a human and societal struggle.
