No longer dogs of war running ragtag armies, the new breed of
private soldiers operate their million-dollar contracts from
executive boardrooms worldwide. Whether they're ex-special forces,
CIA spooks or Foreign Legionnaires, you'll find them exchanging
gunfire with insurgents in Baghdad, patrolling government buildings
in Afghanistan, or spying on environmental protestors. The
lucrative contracts of the 'War on Terror' have made their plans
even more ambitious - to offer governments and corporations
discrete and well-trained private armies. These corporate soldiers
are part of the last great outsourcing - the privatisation of war.
War plc examines how we got here, how these companies operate, and
how close we are to letting them run our battlefields.
Engineering and Product Development Management is a practical guide
to the components of engineering management, using a holistic
approach. It will help engineers and managers understand what they
have to do to improve the product development process by deploying
new technology and new methods of working in concurrent teams. The
book takes elements from six well known and understood bodies of
knowledge and integrates them into a holistic approach: integrated
product development, project management, process management,
systems engineering, product data management, and organizational
change management. These elements are framed within an overall
enterprise-wide architecture. The techniques discussed in this book
work for both huge multinational organizations and smaller
enterprises. The emphasis throughout is on practical tools which
will be invaluable for engineers, managers, and consultants
responsible for project and product development.

Today 13 million people are living in poverty in the UK. According
to a 2017 report, 1 in 5 children live below the poverty line. The
new poor, however, are an even larger group than these official
figures suggest. They are more often than not in work, living
precariously and betrayed by austerity policies that make
affordable good quality housing, good health and secure employment
increasingly unimaginable. In The New Poverty investigative
journalist Stephen Armstrong travels across Britain to tell the
stories of those who are most vulnerable. It is the story of an
unreported Britain, abandoned by politicians and betrayed by the
retreat of the welfare state. As benefit cuts continue and in-work
poverty soars, he asks what long-term impact this will have on
post-Brexit Britain and - on the seventy-fifth anniversary of the
1942 Beveridge report - what we can do to stop the destruction of
our welfare state.
