Zusatztext Information professionals who advise their clients using information taken from the internet! or who train others to search the web! need to become more aware of the messages in this book.......a good chapter on techniques of deception shows the way that the authors of information can seek to misinform or deceive the reader. In the latter part of the book! a useful chapter on legal aspects of I-War is followed by one looking at the use of the web for political ends.....a remarkably strong feature of this book is its sheer readibility. The style is accessibile: the sentences are clear! and as concise as possible given the often technical nature of the content. Complex ideas are set out using bullet points rather than long! involved paragraphs. There are clear and appropriate diagrams and illustrations.Information World Review Informationen zum Autor Bill Hutchinson, Mat Warren Klappentext Introduces the concepts of information warfare from a non-military! organizational perspective.
