Book Description
Google became a verb, countries waged war games in the new digital universe and WikiLeaks sent shockwaves through a superpower. We got to this point from a place that was called the dot.com bubble. Few booms in Australia have been faster or more furious than this bubble. The brightest and best investors dived in, technology geeks grew into overnight millionaires and miners stopped digging dirt and started surfing the net. The market surged and crashed, as the dot.com bubble became the dot.com bomb. Australia witnessed a truly extraordinary efflorescence of unrestrained investment fervour. Tagged as 'irrational exuberance' by Alan Greenspan during the boom's formative period, it became a wild moment of fin de siecle and millennial madness. A new way of valuing companies (on cash flow entirely, rather than boring old profitability) was invented to match the new technology in play. What began with internet services and telecom start-ups stretched to any kind of business that could be sold on the net - from Balmain bugs to sex toys. Some entrepreneurs jumped off the rollercoaster as millionaires; more stayed on, crashed or sank without trace. While there have been a number of books in the USA on this extraordinary historical period, this is the first comprehensive, colourful telling of the wild Australian ride. And looking back, we learn that while the internet promised to level the business playing field it has in fact done the opposite, as the market dominance of Google, Apple and Facebook attest.

Book Description
The collapse of the dot-com bubble has had profound impact not only on investors who lost trillions but also on the thousands of workers who lost their jobs as their companies disappeared. It was one of the factors that triggered the recession of 2001 from which we have yet to fully recover.This book is about understanding the dot-com bubble as well as the subsequent recovery of Internet-related businesses that appears to have started in 2003. Section 1, the Prologue, provides an overview of what happened and why it happened. Section 2, Perspectives, is a chronological compilation of columns written by Tapan Munroe for the Contra Costa Times (a Knight Ridder newspaper) between June 1999 and March 2004 tracing the anatomy of the rise and fall of Internet-related businesses. Section 3, Epilogue, has two chapters, Lessons Learned and Resurgence. The former summarizes the lessons learned from the eighteen articles in section two. The latter deals with the revival of the dot-com industry as web-savvy businesses show the way to greater productivity and sustainable profitability.

Book Description
The autobiography of a woman growing up in Liverpool in the Thirties and Forties Volume One: 1934-1946 A tender and honest portrayal of the life of a working-class girl in Liverpool in the thirties and forties. Her journey to womanhood takes us through the second world-war and shows what it was like to live with rations, blackouts and air-raid shelters. What emerges isn't a catalogue of drudgery and misery, but rather a testament to the human spirit and to life itself. Dorothy is a survivor in more ways than one - not least of all from her domineering mother and weak father.

Book Description
Not long ago, the world was awash with venture capital in search of the next Yahoo! or Amazon.com. No product, no experience, no technology, no business plan -- no problem. You could still get $40 million from investors to start up your dot-com. And you could get people to work around the clock for stock options and the promise of millions. Then, around April 2000, it all came crashing down. Smart investors, esteemed analysts, and the business press found themselves asking: Who knew people wouldn't rush out to trade in their U.S. dollars for a virtual currency called Flooz? Who knew people wouldn't blow all their Flooz on a used car from the guys at iMotors.com? And who needed a used car from iMotors.com when they could just sit at home and have 40-lb. bags of dog food delivered to them by a sock puppet? F'd Companies captures the waste, greed, and human stupidity of more than 100 dot-com companies. Written in Philip J. Kaplan's popular, cynical style, these profiles are filled with colorful anecdotes, factoids, and information unavailable anywhere else. Together they form a gleeful encyclopedia of how not to run a business. They also capture a truly remarkable period of history. F'd Companies is required reading for everyone involved in the "new economy" -- assuming your severance check can cover the cost.

Book Description
For a heady nine months, until the spring of 2000, Britain had dot.com fever. Lastminute.com's youthful founders saw their fledgling company soar to a valuation of £750 million, and Martha Lane Fox became a media star. Clickmango.com raised £3 million in just days to sell helth products online. Old-style industrial giantswere edged out of the FTSE 100 by e-commerce newcomers employing handfuls of people and losing a fortune... And then, just as swiftly, the bubble burst. London's hi-tech stocks followed New York's Nasdaq downwards. Boo.com, the flashiest website of all, went through £100 million in mere months in its mission to see designer sports gear. Financial analysts talked about 'burn-rate', and even the most glamorous start-ups couldn't defy the oldest law of business. Why did it all go so horribly wrong? Now, Rory Cellan-Jones tells the full story of this brief, fabulous, often farcical epoch, from our own now-forgotten Net pioneers to the exclusive few who really did make untold riches - like the man who thought up Freeserve - and follows the destinies of the dot.coms all the way from the glitzy launch to the deserted offices after all the cash had been burned through. Dot.Bomb is the compulsive tale of a never-to-be-repeated time when it seemed anyone could become an instant millionaire - at the click of a mouse.
