Rick Cowles, Author Of "Electric Utilities And Y2K."
Ms. Vannelli has written the definitive book on WHY you should be concerned about the Y2K problem, and HOW you can get yourself (and your family, and your company) through the rough waters ahead. Y2K is an event that is, at the same moment in time, both fraught with peril and ripe with opportunity to better ones self. Gail's intelligent analysis and thorough research of this hydra-headed topic clearly rises to the occasion.
Book Description
This book is an indispensible reference guide for understanding Y2K and how it impacts society and the individual. There is extensive coverage of topics including: the inner workings of the computer, what the Y2K problem is, how it is corrected, what disruptions are expected if the problem is not timely resolved, the cost of remediation, legal issues, and how government and industry are managing Y2K. MOST IMPORTANTLY, the book provides a multi-faceted emergency preparedness plan for families -- covering areas such as heating, lighting, food and water, communications, medical supplies, security, investments, and more -- to help you prepare for a worst-case scenario.
