In Happy & Whole, media personality, meteorologist and new mum Magdalena Roze shares her favourite wholefood recipes inspired by her love of the weather and a sea change to Byron Bay. After swapping a hectic Sydney career for a slower pace of life, Magdalena has embraced a more natural way of living that focuses on a balanced approach to health, happiness and simplicity. Happy & Whole celebrates the food we like to eat in different types of weather - refreshing salads and picnics on sunny days, cooling drinks and exotic flavours when it's humid, warm comforting foods when days are cool and cloudy, and rejuvenating dishes to make when it's raining outside. Interspersed through the pages are tips and advice for wellness, food for babies, creating simple bespoke gifts and ideas for making small, positive changes that nurture us so we, too, can learn to be happy and whole. This is a specially formatted fixed-layout ebook that retains the look and feel of the print book.
First Published in 1996. This encyclopedia is unique in several ways. As the first international reference source on publishing, it is a pioneering venture. Our aim is to provide comprehensive discussion and analysis of key subjects relating to books and publishing worldwide. The sixty-four essays included here feature not only factual and statistical information about the topic, but also analysis and evaluation of those facts and figures. The chapters are significantly more comprehensive than those typically found in an encyclopedia.
When you first hear the term Information Assurance you tend to conjure up an image of a balanced set of reasonable measures that have been taken to protect the information after an assessment has been made of risks that are posed to it. In truth this is the Holy Grail that all organisations that value their information should strive to achieve, but which few even understand. Information Assurance is a term that has recently come into common use. When talking with old timers in IT (or at least those that are over 35 years old), you will hear them talking about information security, a term that has survived since the birth of the computer. In the more recent past, the term Information Warfare ...

This thorough update to Benjamin Compaine's original 1979 benchmark and 1982 revisit of media ownership tackles the question of media ownership, providing a detailed examination of the current state of the media industry. Retaining the wealth of data of the earlier volumes, Compaine and his co-author Douglas Gomery chronicle the myriad changes in the media industry and the factors contributing to these changes.

Information technologies (IT) shape economic space, but we have no clear map of the cyber economy since the "digital revolution" began in the early 1970s. The Digital Economy offers an up-to-date, critical synthesis that links the various aspects of the digital or cyber economy from the perspective of real firms. A geographic approach emphasizes how IT has made businesses less dependent on locational constraints, and the tangible effects on places and regions are placed at the core of the analysis. Case studies of companies, including Amazon, Dell, Li & Fung, and Volvo, demonstrate that the geography of digitally-driven production is the outcome of both dispersion and agglomeration dynamics....
