The book looks at the experiences of women in Britain during World War I, and the changes the war brought about. The author examines the much-neglected areas of women's domestic and social lives, as well as the role of women who worked for pay. She also discusses a group of politically-active women who campaigned to end the war. As such, the book provides an alternative to accounts that focus only on male involvement in the war, and demonstrates the new opportunities that arose for women of all classes.

The millennium bug or Year 2000 problem, will affect everyone in some way or another. Consequences for business range from minor disputes to possible bankruptcy and expensive litigation. This book focuses on the non-technical aspects of the problem and provides practical guidance on best practice. Written in an easy, no-nonsense style, it shows how to ensure that you and your suppliers are millennium compliant - as failure to do so may have legal and contractual consequences. The authors explain what those consequences are and tell you how to plan for them, including promising what needs to be done now, setting up a project team to manage the workload, and considering the unforeseen new dangers in years to come. The action plan, model contracts and audits add up to a complete toolkit for tackling the problem now.
