*A WATERSTONES 'BEST POLITICAL BOOK OF THE YEAR'* *A TIMES 'BEST PHILOSOPHY AND IDEAS' BOOK OF 2021* *A GUARDIAN 'BEST POLITICS BOOKS OF THE YEAR'* LONGLISTED FOR THE 2022 BUSINESS BOOK AWARD 'A brilliant manifesto explaining why women are still so underestimated and overlooked in today's world, but how we can also be hopeful for change' - Philippa Perry 'An impassioned, meticulously argued and optimistic call to arms for anyone who cares about creating a fairer society' - Observer __________ Imagine living in a world in which you were routinely patronised by women. Imagine having your views ignored or your expertise frequently challenged by them. Imagine people always addressing the woman you are with before you. Now imagine a world in which the reverse of this is true. The Authority Gap provides a startling perspective on the unseen bias at work in our everyday lives, to reveal the scale of the gap that still persists between men and women. Would you believe that US Supreme Court Justices are interrupted four times more often than male ones... 96% of the time by men? Or that British parents, when asked to estimate their child's IQ will place their son at 115 and their daughter at 107? Marshalling a wealth of data with precision and insight, and including interviews with pioneering women such as Baroness Hale, Mary Beard and Bernadine Evaristo, Mary Ann exposes unconscious bias in this fresh feminist take on how to address and counteract systemic sexism in ways that benefit us all. Includes interviews with pioneering women such as: Baroness Hale Mary Beard Bernadine Evaristo Mary McAleese Julia Gillard Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sykes Cherie Blair Liz Truss Amber Rudd Frances Morris Laura Bates __________ 'Hugely exciting' - Emily Maitlis 'Deeply researched, profoundly thoughtful and a book very much for the here and now: Mary Ann Sieghart's The Authority Gap is the book she was probably born to write' - Andrew Marr 'At last here is a credible roadmap that is capable of taking women from the margins to the centre by bridging the authority gap that holds back even the best and most talented of women. - Mary McAleese, Former President of Ireland

'Truly a marvellous collection ... There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder - the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss' Stephen Fry Sometimes only a poem will do. These poetic prescriptions and wise words of advice offer comfort, delight and inspiration for all; a space for reflection, and that precious realization - I'm not the only one who feels like this. In the years since he first had the idea of prescribing short, powerful poems for all manner of spiritual ailments, William Sieghart has taken his Poetry Pharmacy around the length and breadth of Britain, into the pages of the Guardian, onto BBC Radio 4 and onto the television, honing his prescriptions all the time. This pocket-sized book presents the most essential poems in his dispensary: those which, again and again, have really shown themselves to work.

Faster, higher, stronger: winning words are those that inspire you on to Olympian goals. From falling in love to overcoming adversity, celebrating a new born or learning to live with dignity: here is a book to inspire and to thrill through life's most magical moments. From William Shakespeare to Carol Ann Duffy, our most popular and best loved poets and poems are gathered in one essential collection, alongside many lesser known treasures that are waiting to be discovered.

Every woman has a story of being underestimated, ignored, challenged, or patronized in the workplace. Maybe she tried to speak up in a meeting, only to be talked over by male colleagues. Or a client addressed her male subordinate instead of her. These stories remain true even for women at the top of their fields; in the U.S. Supreme Court, for example, female justices are interrupted four times more often than their male colleagues-and 96 percent of the time by men. Despite the progress we've made toward equality, we still fail, more often than we might realize, to take women as seriously as men. In The Authority Gap, journalist Mary Ann Sieghart provides a startling perspective on the gender bias at work in our everyday lives and reflected in the world around us, whether in pop culture, media, school classrooms, or politics. With precision and insight, Sieghart marshals a wealth of data from a variety of disciplines-including psychology, sociology, political science, and business-and talks to pioneering women like Booker Prize winner Bernardine Evaristo, renowned classicist Mary Beard, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen, and Hillary Clinton. She speaks with women from a range of backgrounds to explore how gender bias intersects with race and class biases. Eye-opening and galvanizing, The Authority Gap teaches us how we as individuals, partners, parents, and coworkers can together work to narrow the gap. Sieghart exposes unconscious bias in this fresh feminist take on how to address and counteract systemic sexism in ways that benefit us all: men as well as women.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Informatik - Internet, neue Technologien, Note: 1,3, FOM Hochschule fur Oekonomie & Management gemeinnutzige GmbH, Neuss fruher Fachhochschule (FOM Fachhochschule fur Okonomie und Management), Veranstaltung: Betriebsinformatik 3 - Kommunikationsanwendungen, 23 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Verbreitung vonWeb-Anwendungen ist in den vergangenen Jahren immens angestiegen. Laut dem ISC (Internet Systems Consortium) waren im Januar 2008 auf den Domain Name Servern mehr als 540 Millionen Domain-Namen registriert. Allein uber 12 Millionen .de Domains konnten zu diesem Zeitpunkt verzeichnet werden. Diese Vielzahl an Websites begrunden eine ausgepragte Konkurrenzsituation. Bei einer schlechten Usability ist die Web-Anwendung des Wettbewerbers nur einen Klick entfernt. Dagegen kann durch eine auf den Kunden und seine Bedurfnisse ausgerichtete Web-Anwendung eine langfristige Kundenbindung, auch im World Wide Web, erreicht werden. Diese treuen Kunden sind das entscheidende Kriterium fur den Erfolg einer Website. Jedoch sind immer wieder Websites mit schlecht nachvollziehbaren Strukturen und missverstandlichen Navigationselementen zu finden. Forrester Research hat in einer Umfrage herausgefunden, dass vier Kriterien einen Benutzer langfristig an eine Seite binden: Qualitativ hochwertiger Inhalt H]aufige Aktualisierung Minimale Downloadzeit Einfache Handhabung Bis auf den Gesichtspunkt der haufigen Aktualisierung konnen diese grundlegenden Kriterien durch Usability-Engineering, also das fruhzeitige Einbinden der Usability in den Entwicklungsprozess, erreicht werden. An dieser Stelle konnen einerseits grundsatzliche Aspekte der Gebrauchstauglichkeit einbezogen werden, andererseits stellen Evaluationsmethoden die entscheidenden Instrumente dar, um Usability fur den Endanwender sicherzustellen. Diese Hausarbeit soll einen Uberblick uber die Richtlinien der Usability fur Web- Anwendungen geben,
