ontando otras prácticas cuestionables que se mantienen «porque siempre se ha hecho así». Porque, para que un libro llegue al lector con su apariencia de contundente sencillez, editores, diseñadores y correctores vuelcan en su trabajo amplios conocimientos y siglos de tradición. Pero, ¿todas estas tradiciones tienen una justificación lógica? ¿responden los programas informáticos que utilizamos hoy día a las necesidades de un buen diseño editorial? Conciso, contundente y no exento de humor, el autor analiza en este libro aspectos claves en la tipografía y ofrece soluciones lógicas a problemas comunes: la medida del tipo, la división de palbaras, la distribución de blancos, las formas de las citas, el uso de cifras [...]; así como critica algunos aspectos del software manifestamente mejorables."

ection provides a broad overview of a country’s mobile landscape by helping practitioners to appraise the policy, legal and regulatory environment and identify key areas for policy intervention.
Section 2 focuses on data sharing. Here, practitioners can take a closer look at the data ecosystem by examining not only the policy and regulations that exist on paper, but also what it takes to implement data infrastructure and policies for using and protecting data across the humanitarian ecosystem. These include institutional mandates, technological options, human capabilities, incentives and enforcement mechanisms. Understanding how infrastructure systems, processes, people and policies support humanitarian innovation in practical ways is key.
Section 3 provides an analysis of use cases in mobile-enabled emergency telecommunications. These use cases help to capture the lived experiences of those in the humanitarian ecosystem and guide policy reviews in support of government priorities, use cases and humanitarian interventions."

er, before looking at these components, it is important to first build your organization on a strong organizational foundation. Only then can you move on to more difficult and necessary aspects of management. When we refer to 'building the foundation of the organization,' we are talking about simple tools, available for everyone, that organize information within the organization. Establishing protocols is the best way to achieve this organization. In this guide, we share recommendations to develop protocols for five essential aspects of your organization: roles: Each person on the staff has a role that should be clearly defined and agreed upon; processes: Workflows should be analyzed and improved when necessary; structure: Roles and processes intertwine in a scheme that should be explicit; recruitment: When the team grows, it is important to organize the process for incorporating new staff; dismissals: When it is decided that someone has to leave the team, established processes help everyone involved to more effectively handle the transition."
