In most organisations there is a gulf between business activity and IT concerns. Business managers tend to distance themselves from the seemingly complex and mysterious activities of their IT staff, while many IT professionals lack basic business and management skills and are often unable to relate their technical know-how to the running of a modern business. But, with our increased reliance on computers,
IT is now at the forefront of the business world.
FYI, IT Guy is aimed both at IT professionals and at anyone in need of an enlightening guide to the business and people aspects of IT. This is not a mechanical textbook full of technical information. Instead, FYI, IT Guy distils what is most relevant and practical, providing straightforward lessons for IT managers, consultants and professionals in today’s business world.

Format: Paperback, 304 pages
ISBN-13: 9780718154738

The publication of The World According to Clarkson in 2004 launched a multi-million-copy bestselling phenomenon. But to no avail.
Jeremy's one-man war on crimes against common sense has not yet been won. And our hero's still scratching his head at the madness of it all. But it's not all bad. He's learned a little along the way, including:
Why binge drinking is good for you
The worst word in the English language
The remarkable secret of eternal youth
The pleasure and pain of middle-aged drumming
The problem with America
And how to dispose of a seal
For anyone who's been driven to wonder just what is the matter with people these days, For Crying Out Loud is the perfect riposte. Surprising, fearless and always laugh-out-loud funny, Clarkson's back. And he's got a point. . .

 Food
Author(s): George Miller, Katharine Reeve
Attention food lovers – The Rough Guide to Food is here to show you that food can be good for you, good for the planet and taste great, all at the same time! Navigating through the never-ending food maze, the guide asks the hard-boiled questions no one else can answer: “Is organic really better for you?” and “what constitutes a healthy diet?”.
The guide contains shocking facts and figures about our food options and looks at the entire cycle of food from the politics of importing and exporting to genetic modifications, and from pesticide free organic farms to the ethically questionable practices of the Big Four supermarkets. With a plethora of good honest advice and the shattering of harmful myths, the guide also decodes those grub-related catch words like organic, local, wholefoods, vegetarian, vegan, food-intolerance, Fairtrade, sustainability and the worst of all – diet!
If you eat food, or are considering eating food, then The Rough Guide to Food can make your experience both pleasurable and nutritional, offering simple choices and good advice, as well as practical tips to eating and shopping that fit with your lifestyle and budget – without resorting to overindulgence, or self-denial!
