  Information technology isn’t magic. But used strategically, in its many forms, it can literally be a “superpower” that fuels a company into new realms of growth and profit. Most midsized companies today are leaving much of their IT potential on the table. Authors Bhopi Dhali and Saurajit Kanungo — experts in both business and digital tech — have distilled their years of hands-on experience into a guidebook for tapping the potential. Drawing on examples from Spider-Man (really!) to case stories of companies they’ve helped to succeed, they peel away the bewilderment and frustration that executives often encounter in dealing with IT. Beneath those layers, key management principles emerge. These principles can make digitization projects pay bottom-line returns instead of draining the budget. And can make any company fit to lead, not fated to lose, in today’s digital age.

  Fluid mechanics is an important branch of physics concerned with the way in which fluids, such as liquids and gases, behave when in motion and at rest. A quintessential interdisciplinary field of science, it interacts with many other scientific disciplines, from chemistry and biology to mathematics and engineering.This Very Short Introduction presents the field of fluid mechanics by focusing on the underlying physical ideas and using everyday phenomena to demonstrate them, from dripping taps to swimming ducks. Eric Lauga shows how this set of fundamental physical concepts can be applied to a wide range of flow behaviors and highlights the role of fluid motion in both the natural and industrial worlds. This book also considers future applications of fluid mechanics in science.

  Building on the foundation laid by Moshe Feldenkrais, Thomas Hanna's groundbreaking work completely redefines the body's potential for withstanding decline. His gentle program for the mind and body proves once and for all that so many problems we accept as inevitable over time -- chronic stiffness, bad back, chronic pain, fatigue, and, at times, even high blood pressure -- need never occur if we maintain conscious control of nerve and muscle, replacing Sensory-Motor Amnesia  with Sensory-Motor Awareness. The good news of Somatic Exercise is that most people simply do not have to become captives of age or injury. Once learned, this lifelong program can help almost anyone maintain the pleasures of a supple, healthy body indefinitely, with only a five-minute routine once a day.
