Although most directors are experienced, well qualified managers, many find that when they are appointed to the board there is little guidance available to them about their new role. The Effective Director gives excellent advice on what a board of directors is supposed to do. Using extensive real life case studies from industry, business and the not-for-profit sectors, the writers show how to develop the director role and improve the working methods of the board as a whole.

When a book calls itself an "official guide" to something, readers inevitably get a little skeptical. But, when you’re dealing with an application that’s as big as Macromedia Director is, an official guide actually is a welcome sight. Director 8 Demystified offers a much-needed road map to the latest version of the multimedia content creation tool; and, as the officially sanctioned guide, it offers a complete rundown of the new program. Written in part by the author of Director 7 Demystified and the author of the official Director and Lingo Authorized books for versions 7 and 8, th

In this illuminating, engaging, an
