Advertising for Dummies 2nd edition

You can read this book front to back, or you can simply refer to it as you would any reference book, dipping into the chapters you need right away. Whichever way you read it, you may discover some shortcuts, insights, techniques, and money

- saving facts that can get you the most bang for the buck while taking some of the mystery out of this all-important element of your business.Think of Advertising For Dummies, 2nd Edition, as a guidebook to map your way through the back alleys, side streets, and secret pathways leading to effective advertising. Advertising can be a very intimidating subject

— it has its own language; it comes in a huge array of media choices; it requires, when done right, creativity, clarity, and solid production values to cut through its own clutter; and it costs a lot of money. But advertising is also essential to the success of your business. Use this travel guide to chart your course down the hidden boulevards of advertising, and you may discover that, indeed, the streets are paved with gold.

Digital Security and Privacy February 2007


Front line has just released a large manual titled "Digital Security and Privacy for Human Rights Defenders". The 164-pages book (pdf) contains systematic descriptions of privacy and security risks human rights defenders may face (and have faced), and has detailed and hands-on instructions for all kinds of protections, including computer setting and tools, but also workflow management, physical office security, and so on. The volume includes rich material and examples on the state of surveillance and oppression online, making it also worth a read for those not directly working in this field. Kudos to Dmitri Vitaliev who did all the work in pulling this together and writing most of the text.
