The internet and digital technology require us to redefine ourselves, manage ourselves, educate ourselves, upgrade ourselves, integrate ourselves and quantify ourselves in order to do well - at work and at home. But what does 'good' look like? And who shows you how to do it? Digital Common Sense answers these questions by guiding readers through a set of common-sense activities, some of which they may already be doing, but others they probably won't.The second core theme of the book focuses on the need for those who grew up before the digital age to become more 'digitally curious', and how to 'get' IT. The only way we can keep up with digital natives and learn how people are achieving new ways of working in the digital world is by asking them, so we need to develop that muscle. It's just digital common sense.

This historical novel tells the story of Captain Collet Barker of the 39th Regiment, during his time in the early settlement of Australia, from 1827-1831. The book is based on considerable research, and on his journals, assembled while he was the Commandant at Raffles Bay in northern Australia, and later at King Georges Sound in Western Australia (modern-day Albany). Barker had troops and convicts under his command, and he handled his duties with aplomb, but he was particularly noted for his close relationship with the Aboriginal people he interacted with at both settlements. This relationship makes the tragic climax all the more poignant.
