  This journey through the world of birdwatchers is “a wonderful book. . . . fascinating, often hilarious anecdotes and information” (Daily Mail, Critic’s Choice). 
   
  Scholarly, authoritative, and above all supremely readable, Stephen Moss’s book is the first to trace the fascinating history of how and why people have watched birds for pleasure, from the beginnings with Gilbert White in the eighteenth century through World War II POWs watching birds from inside their prison camp and all the way to today’s “twitchers” with their bleeping pagers, driving hundreds of miles for a rare bird. 
   
  “Proves that birdwatchers can be as instructive to watch as birds.” —Sunday Times 
   
  “Thoroughly researched and well-written.” —The Guardian 
   
  “Moss knows his subject intimately and writes about it with just the right mixture of affection and occasional quizzicality.” —Sunday Telegraph 
   
  “It would be difficult to imagine anyone producing a more comprehensive, thoughtful, intelligent and entertaining examination of how people have watched birds at each point in history. In fact, it is one of the few books which might prove such compulsive reading that even a dedicated twitcher might forgo a day in the field to stay at home to finish it.” —Birding World

  Is Your Business Ready For "Web 3.0?" 
    
  Whether it's the transition from animal power to internal combustion or from handwritten letters to phone conversations, new technology is nearly always frightening. 
    
  As Web 2.0 matures and grows to Web 3.0 — a decentralized layer atop the present web infrastructure — it's worth reflecting on the early days of the Internet more than 25 years ago. If you're old enough, you may remember the fear and doubt that gripped everyone back then. 
    
  We recognized the possibilities, but sending credit card information out into the unknown in the hopes of receiving a book or other item, or checking bank balances over the internet, seemed almost insane. These days, we don't give it a second thought. Web 2.0 has become an essential element of our lives and enterprises, simplifying administration in ways we could never have anticipated. It 
    
  If your VCR is still flashing 12:00, you probably aren't reading this. However, if you ship any kind of product, if your marketing is limited to Facebook, and your back office is run on Excel, you may anticipate a large revenue reduction over the next five years. You will just be unable to keep up. 
    
  This book is for you unless your company delivers an experience that cannot be digitized (restaurants, entertainment, etc.). 
    
  If you want your small business to survive the next ten years, you must make a change. By failing to update your business's operations, you are losing market share, earnings, and prospects to your competitors. It also gets more difficult to adjust and will wind up costing more money in the long run.... that is if you get that far.
