the success of open source the success of open source
Steven Weber

Much of the innovative programming that powers the Internet, creates operating systems and produces software is the result of 'open source' code, that is, code that is freely distributed by those who write it. Leaving source code open has generated some of the most sophisticated developments in computer technology, including, most notably, Linux and Apache, which pose a significant challenge to Microsoft in the marketplace. 320pp

the green website guide the green website guide
Deborah Gray

Regardless of the endless worldwide arguments and discussions concerning the planets natural resources and the impact of global warming there is no doubt that more and more people will have to take more responsibility for the lives WE lead and the impact WE have on our environment. There is constant media bombardment on topics diverse as reducing our carbon footprint, recycling waste, responsible tourism, food miles and even low impact funerals. Often this information is contradictory and leads to confusion.
While the internet hosts a wealth of information on all things green and is an excellent resource for finding out more about the issues, useful for honing down information and finding practical solutions at a local level , the sheer volume of information can be bewildering. To help you cut through the mass of material, Deborah Gray, editor of the The Good Website Guide (300,000 copies sold), provides an essential guide to over 500 'green' sites on the web, a clear routemap to the truly significant and relevant sites currently out there.
Clear easy to find sections, each section begins with an overview:
Global - ecology, carbon debate, animals, plants, the natural world, oceans
Domestic - energy, home improvements, cleaning, recycling, gardening, water
Living - food, personal care, finance, fashion, shopping, transport, travel, funerals, pets, volunteering, office
