Getting our voices heard can be a nerve-wracking and overwhelming
task particularly in a world where everyone seems to have something
to say. The ability to present our ideas with confidence is now a
coveted skill. Yet on stage, we become this other person: less
funny, less engaging, less human. Mark Shayler draws on his own
experience from nervous speaker to charismatic compere to guide you
through the task of public speaking. He takes a deeper look at what
s holding you back, and will help you to: -Find your voice and the
confidence to share it -Learn how to tell stories, not just share
data -Stand and move around the stage comfortably -Leave the
audience informed, entertained and uplifted. Giving a brilliant
talk is not about following a method. It's not about rules. It's
about understanding what you want the audience to think, feel and
do afterwards. Ultimately, it's about being more you.
Electronic waste includes such items as TVs, computers, LCD and
plasma displays, and mobile phones, as well as a wide range of
household, medical and industrial equipment which are simply
discarded as new technologies become available. Huge and growing
quantities of waste are discarded every year and this waste
contains toxic and carcinogenic compounds which can pose a risk to
the environment. However, if handled correctly, electronic waste
presents a valuable source of secondary raw materials. This book
brings together a group of leading experts in the management of
electrical and electronic waste to provide an up-to-date review of
the scale of the waste problem, the impact of recent legislation
such as the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive
(WEEE) and the "restriction of the use of certain hazardous
substances in electrical and electronic equipment" directive
(RoHS), and of current and future methods for treatment, recycling
and disposal of this waste. The book discusses these latest
directives, examines current worldwide legislation and considers
the opportunities and threats posed by this form of waste. While
the emphasis is on European practice, comparisons with other
countries such as the USA, Japan and China are made. The book deals
with the full range of waste management issues, including recycling
and recovery of materials, design considerations for waste
minimisation, and contains a wide variety of illustrative case
studies eg: LCD displays. With detailed and comprehensive coverage
of the subject matter it also contains an extensive bibliography
with each chapter. Key chapters cover areas such as: -electronic
waste -materials -EU directives -landfill and incineration
-recycling and recovery -'cradle to grave' design considerations
-engineering thermoplastics It is essential reading for all
involved with electrical and electronic waste management through
its comprehensive review of recent EU legislation and the
subsequent impact on manufacturers and users of electronic
equipment.
