New computer and communications technologies have acted as the catalyst for a revolution in the way goods are produced and services delivered, leading to profound changes in the way work is organized and the way jobs are designed. This important book examines the nature, setting and impact of new technologies on work, organization and management. Conventional debates about new technology often invoke optimistic visions of enhanced democracy, rising skills and economic abundance; others predict darker scenarios such as the destruction of jobs through labour-eliminating devices. This book proposes an alternative perspective, arguing that technology can be powerful, but in and of itself has no independent causal powers. It considers the impact of new technologies on manufacturing, clerical, administrative and call centre employment, in both managerial and professional arenas, and introduces the growing phenomena of telework. The book also assesses the important political and economic forces that restrict or facilitate the flow of new technologies on national and global levels. New Technology @ Work is an illuminating and thought-provoking text that will prove invaluable to all serious students of business, management and technology.

Uden for Skandinavien blev vikingerne af deres samtidige mest omtalt for deres sommerudflugter, hvor de hærgede og plyndrede klostre og kirker, byer og handelspladser.

Det er en fremstilling af vikingernes verden, fra de først dukker op i Skandinavien i begyndelsen af det første årtusinde e.Kr., over deres glansperiode - den egentlige Vikingetid - hvor de driver handel, plyndrer og indimellem bosætter sig fjernt fra deres hjemlande, frem til de sidste overlevende vikingebosættelser i 1400-tallets Grønland.I vikingernes vide verden beskrives og forklares vikingernes dagligdag og kultur i detaljer: deres udseende og beklædning, deres byer og bygninger, deres handel og håndværk, deres krigsførelse og våben, og deres skibsbygning og rejser, deres kunst og dens stilarter, deres mytologi og religion.Bogen er forsynet med 330 illustrationer, mange i farver, en stor kronologisk oversigt og talrige kort. I 45 tekstbokse behandles særlige emner. Bogen afsluttes med en vejviser til museer og udgravninger samt et detaljeret register.Richard Hall er leder af Archaeology at the York Archaeological Trust.
