    AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT OF LIFE IN ONE OF THE WORLD'S RICHEST NATIONS AHEAD OF THE FIFA 2022 WORLD CUP
    
    Just 75 years ago, the Gulf nation of Qatar was a backwater, reliant on pearl diving. Today it is a gas-laden parvenu with seemingly limitless wealth and ambition. Skyscrapers, museums and futuristic football stadiums rise out of the desert and Ferraris race through the streets. But in the shadows, migrant workers toil in the heat for risible amounts.
    Inside Qatar reveals how real people live in this surreal place, a land of both great opportunity and great iniquity. Ahead of Qatar's time in the limelight as host of the 2022 FIFA Men's World Cup, anthropologist John McManus lifts a lid on the hidden worlds of its gilded elite, its spin doctors and thrill seekers, its manual labourers and domestic workers.
    
    The sum of their tales is not some exotic cabinet of curiosities. Instead, Inside Qatar opens a window onto the global problems - of unfettered capitalism, growing inequality and climate change - that concern us all.

    In an increasingly volatile world, exemplified by the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, organisations are looking at business continuity with a fresh perspective. While most organisations believe they are prepared for disruption, COVID-19 has proved otherwise. The need for business continuity has never been clearer.
    If you were hit by a cyber attack and lost the use of your IT systems, would you be able to carry on? If your business premises were forced to close, what would you do? If you were affected by unexpected staff absence, how could you reassure your customers that you can still offer them the service they expect?
    Being unprepared can lead to financial and reputational damage, which could prove disastrous. You could fail to keep up with customer demand or lose important business, or your customers could go elsewhere. Without a proper risk assessment strategy, your company directors could even face prosecution if a major incident occurs and results in loss or injury.
    An introduction to ISO 22301
    To minimise the impact of a disaster on your business, and to continue to provide essential services to your customers, you need to put in place a BCMS (business continuity management system). This pocket guide will help you understand the basics of business continuity and ISO 22301:2019, the international standard that describes the specification for a BCMS.
    It covers:
    
    - What business continuity is;
    - Key terms and definitions;
    - A brief history of business continuity management;
    - The BCMS;
    - ISO 22301 BCMS requirements; and
    - CertificationISO 22301:2019 - An introduction to a business continuity management system (BCMS) provides an easy-to-read and straightforward introduction to a BCMS that business continuity managers, compliance managers, C-suites and disaster recovery planners – or any organisation implementing, or considering implementing, an ISO 22301 BCMS – will find valuable.

    This book contains the following three titles: 
    - Fitness and Recovery: Fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, energetic, and healthy in all aspects of your life. The foundation of fitness begins with understanding what it truly means to be fit and how to set yourself up for long-term success. It is important to recognize that fitness is not a one-time achievement, but rather a continuous journey that requires dedication, balance, and conTo build a solid foundation, you must first understand the four main components of fitness: strength, cardiovascular health, flexibility, and body composition. Strength refers to your muscles’ ability to exert force. Cardiovascular health focuses on the efficiency of your heart and lungs. Flexibility ensures that your muscles and joints can move freely and safely. Lastly, body composition relates to the ratio of lean mass to fat in your body, which affects your overall health and performance.sistency. 
    - Fitness for Mental Health: Mental health is just as important as physical health, yet it is often overlooked when discussing overall well-being. As the world becomes more fast-paced and demanding, people are increasingly experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression. While therapy and medication are common approaches to managing mental health, an often overlooked yet highly effective method is exercise. Physical activity has been proven to be a powerful tool in improving mental health, relieving stress, and enhancing overall well-being. 
    - The Science of Muscle Growth: At its core, muscle growth occurs when muscle fibers undergo stress or damage, usually as a result of resistance training. This process, known as muscle fiber microtearing, stimulates the body to repair the damaged fibers by fusing them together, making the muscle thicker and stronger over time. This adaptation process is key to building muscle mass and strength.
