Business Leadership for IT Projects
The track record of IT projects is poor. Less than a third of IT projects deliver what they said they would, on schedule and on budget. The major cause of IT project failure is not, as you might expect, poor IT leadership or difficult technology but poor business leadership. One of the reasons for this is that, unlike their IT peers, business managers often get little training or education in project delivery, let alone the special case represented by an IT project. Business Leadership for IT Projects addresses the gap by providing tools and ideas that are applicable to all sizes of IT projects, from those in large multinational corporations, down to small growing businesses. It sets out the...
Trussville, Alabama
Long before Trussville became the commercial hub of northeastern Jefferson County, settlers fell in love with the area's fertile land and proximity to Alabama's longest free-flowing river, the Cahaba. In the late 1930s, a New Deal initiative known as the Cahaba Project established nearly three hundred new homes in the city, a community that became a historic treasure. The Trussville Academy opened its doors in 1869 and is the area's first educational institution. Camp Gertrude Coleman, which opened in 1925, is the third-longest-operating Girl Scouts camp in the nation, remaining open even during the Great Depression and World War II. Join author Gary Lloyd as he recounts the people and events that make Trussville one of the most desirable places to live in Alabama.

Leader
Having achieved only minor success as Paul Gadd and Paul Raven, the newly renamed Gary Glitter was warned he was too old to be a star. Proving them wrong, he became a pop star in the 1970s, with 12 consecutive top ten singles with I Love You Love selling over one million copies. Gary Glitter was a landmark of the decade with his silver platform shoes, tight glittering outfits and outrageous stage act. By 1980 he was an addict, bankrupt and after attempting suicide he went into self-imposed exile. He is now making a come back with a new six album deal and tours of the UK. This book is his personal biography and an insight into the 70s rock scene.

Survive!
The man who accomplished one of the most remarkable feats of survival in history finally tells the story of the event that made worldwide news. This inspiring story shows what sheer determination can achieve against impossible odds. When Peter DeLeo set out one Sunday morning on a sightseeing and photography trip over the central Sierra Nevada mountains in California, he had no idea that he would soon be fighting for his life with the odds stacked very much against him. DeLeo’s single-engine plane encountered turbulence, and he and his two passengers crashed in the mountains. All three survived the accident but sustained multiple injuries. DeLeo had broken ribs, a shattered ankle, and a ba...
Lloyd of the Dance
Travelling the world. Making many friends. Lloyd Wright wasn't a man to discriminate. He would be your friend if you were a law-abiding citizen or a criminal. This accepting nature led him to end up on the list of Britain's Most Wanted Fugitives. Laugh and cry with this man as he lives his life to the full, always with a positive attitude. Even through the bad times he manages to keep going and look ahead to times when things would finally get better.
Lloyd Percival
They called him 'Coach', but Lloyd Percival was much more. He introduced modern track and field to Canada, produced a blueprint for radically changing the way hockey was played, built the world's first modern fitness club, inspired and contributed to government policy on sport, and was instrumental in the success of Canada's best amateur and professional athletes. However, he was a radical, an iconoclast, and a thorn in the side of the authorities in amateur and professional sports for almost four decades. Percival has been compared to Marshall McLuhan for his willingness "to look at things people took for granted." Respected around the world, Percival's controversial prescriptions for change made "the stepfather of Russian hockey" a "prophet without honour" in his homeland. The story of Lloyd Percival is the story of sport and fitness in Canada during an era of profound change, a story of the man most responsible for those changes and of his enduring legacy.
