In the same class as the Appalachian Trail, the North Country National Scenic Trail is over twice as long as its older cousin. 50 Hikes on Michigan & Wisconsin's North Country Trail is a guidebook for both the day hiker and the long-distance backpacker. With full-color maps and elevation profiles, it covers the certified trail on the ground as well as portions yet to be certified in adjoining states. Included are resources for long-distance backpackers to help them connect trail segments and find local services, as well as mileage charts and other valuable information. Nearly 1,000 miles of trail and connecting routes are covered.

Immer mehr Unternehmen "produzieren" Software. Sie stehen vor der Aufgabe, Software termin- und kostengerecht mit für den Kunden akzeptabler Qualität zu entwickeln. Praxisgerechte Methoden zur Softwareentwicklung fehlen weitgehend. Dies betrifft insbesondere mittelständische Unternehmen.Das vorliegende Fachbuch schließt diese Lücke. Es beschreibt ein praxisgerechtes Vorgehensmodell zur Strukturierung des Entwicklungsprozesses und bildet die Basis für die Umsetzung der Normenreihe DIN EN ISO 9000 im Unternehmen. Checklisten und Musterformulare erlauben auch dem Nicht-Informatiker, den Entwicklungsprozess anhand konkret überprüfbarer Teilziele zu verbessern. Einfache Diagrammtechniken unterstützen hier insbesondere die Innovation.
