Stunnign Images.......2002-11-08

This is a veyr clean looking book of Varga. Very typicla of his style he uses great lines and beautiful girls for his art. I recomend this book for the collector or admirerer of great pin-up art. To own it is to enjoy it!

Gorgeous, can't wait to get the first one........2001-12-24

Gorgeous. Great reprintings. A must for any Varga fans. It was above my expectations. So much so, I'm ordering others of the Artist Archive's series.

buy this one.......2000-06-20

This is most definitely a beautifully produced book. It is most artistic and definitely worth a buy. Try it!

Book Description

These are think-out-of-the-box brainbusters, lots of fun for anyone who enjoys a challenge. Some of the situations presented may seem really strange, and almost impossible to solve, but once the obvious assumptions are discarded, the answers begin to come into focus. The key lies in being creative, and getting into the groove by trying the easier puzzles before moving on to the super-hard ones. The collection includes problems that use visual clues, timed questions, and thorny conundrums that ask you to look for sequences, uncover relationships, use deductive reasoning, and make clever observations. It’s a true test of anyone's smarts.

Customer Reviews:

Very Poor.......2007-08-07

Mensa should be ashamed to have their name on this book.
The puzzles are brief with answers that are either obvious or ridiculous.
Many of the answers my daughter and I formulated made more sense AND used more lateral thought.
Save your money!

All I can Say is Great!.......2006-10-28

My sub teacher is currently reading this in my advisory class. It's a really great book with mysteries since I'm into it. If you're a person who loves mysteries and try to solve them, then this is the book for you!

Some decent lateral thinking puzzles, some out there puzzles.......2005-08-16

If you've read lateral thinking puzzle books before, this one is not much different. It's somewhat thicker than most of those books, so it has more puzzles, but it also has a few less-than-superb puzzles. The historical puzzles for the most part are trivia bits more than deductive reasoning, but they take up only a small amount of the puzzles.

I'd say two out of every three puzzles are still anywhere from challenging to downright clever, which is enough for me to give it almost 2/3 of a full score.

This is one of the dumbest books ever written!.......2004-04-08

This is not a book for intelligent thinking, it's a book of parlor puzzles and trivia factoids. Perhaps in a different format it could be entertaining, but as a question and answer book it just plain stinks. Sample question: A man went into his local shopping center. A woman whom he had never met before wished him a happy birthday. How did she know it was his birthday?

The "Answer": The man went to an eye doctor to have an eye test. The doctor looked at his record and noticed that today was his birthday.

I had to flip pages to find this nugget of an answer! I want my money back for the time I spent looking at this book!

Excellent OSPF text!.......2007-08-29

After thoroughly reading the OSPF chapter of Jeff Doyle's Cisco Press title, I scored 100% on the OSPF section of my CCNP Routing exam. This great books gives you the same great information, but presented in a different manner teaching you OSPF/IS-IS on both Cisco and JUNOS side by side. After reading this book, I am confident I could score 100% again.

If you're a hardcore OSPF fan, you will love this book.

A top pick for any in-depth computer library seeking lasting references........2007-08-07

Any advanced computer library collection specializing in programmer guides for network designers will want OSPF and IS-IS: Choosing an IGP for Large-Scale Networks: it covers large-scale systems operating in the real world and is organized to help network engineers and architects compare OSPF and IS-IS. From understanding message types and improving scalability to designing large-scale networks for maximum security, OSPF AND IS-IS is a top pick for any in-depth computer library seeking lasting references.

Excellent Comparative Reference on OSPF and IS-IS (IPv4 and IPv6).......2007-06-19

OSPF and IS-IS : Choosing an IGP for Large-Scale Networks is an excellent source for understanding the similarities and differences of IS-IS and OSPF all in one book. It is the only book available with such complete coverage comparing these two IGP routing protocols.

There have been many official and unofficial debates over which protocol is better. Finally, the common problem of choosing one IGP routing protocol over the other or the second guessing of an IGP deployment choice can now be put to rest thanks to this definitive source of information on the subject. The book does a fair and deep comparison of the two protocols down to the packet structures and usage scenarios. It answers lingering questions and corrects common misconceptions about how these protocols operate. The author shows no bias towards either protocol without good justification. Jeff presents the information in such a way that the reader can draw his/her own conclusions.

Doyle's book does not assume the reader has strong knowledge of OSPF and IS-IS. It teaches the theory of each protocol in addition to comparing and contrasting in Doyle's easy to follow style. For those who are experts at IS-IS and OSPF with regards to IPv4 and understand the differences, IS-IS and OSPF for IPv6 are covered/compared in the same fashion.

Thanks for a great reference book, Jeff!

nice chapter on the development of the Internet.......2006-01-25

Doyle gives us a very understandable discourse on the OSPF and IS-IS routing methods. These are implemented by Cisco and Juniper routers. Cisco dominates the networking arena, while Juniper is one of the larger secondary players. So understanding OSPF and IS-IS is vital if your duties involve administering networks using those companies' devices.

The link state nature of the OSPF and IS-IS protocols is shown to scale much more easily to large networks, as compared to vector protocols. The latter are slower to converge and are susceptible to looping.

Interestingly, the book starts off with a detailed chapter on the rise of the Internet. It mentions luminaries like Vinton Cerf, Licklider, Kleinrock, Postel and others. And how the ARPANET was the predecessor of the Internet. However, I do take issue with the claim that the Internet began in 1983, when the ARPANET transitioned to TCP/IP. The chapter itself says that "almost all the internetworking technologies we use to this day had their start with the ARPANET." Thus, others who were involved in establishing the ARPANET take the Internet's true beginning to be that of the ARPANET. For example, Kleinrock considers the birth date to be in October 1969, when his group made the first connection between two nodes on the ARPANET, at UCLA and Stanford Research Institute. He and UCLA consider this date to be definitive. (Kleinrock has been at UCLA since the 60s.) Granted, there is an element of hometown boosterism here, but I recently heard him give a seminar with a strong technical description of the 1969 event, and it seemed very plausible.

I should add that even if you consider Doyle's assertion about the Internet's start to be wrong, it does not detract from his first chapter or the rest of the book. The objective events in that chapter are correctly recounted, and the chapter is useful in showing how all this Internet "thing" came about. Read it as good cultural background.

Excellent Information Presented, clear and concise.......2005-12-28

So basically I know very little about OSPF and nothing about IS-IS. I haven't finished reading the book yet (about 1/4 through it) but, its great so far.

Doyle does an excellent job of starting from ground zero and building up...

Included are points of interest and concerns that a senior level net engineer might think of but someone beginning or intermediate may not quickly consider...

I also like the fact that he compares and contrasts the two protocols side by side in the same section, not doing the 1/2 the book on ospr, then the other half on is-is or chapter specific. Each chapter will talk about a particular subject (say message types) and in the chapter he'll go through both protocols.

Doyle also points out differences in IOS vs JUNOS which is real nice as well.

Chapters are:

I Roots of Link State Protocols: brief history of arpanet (not like IRA 2nd edition either, IRA = Internet Routing Architectures)

II Link State Basics: He does cover DV basics as well to have something to contrast to...

III Message Types

IV Addressing, Neighbor Discovery, Adjacencies

V Flooding

VI Link State Database Synchronization

VII Area Design

VIII Scaling

IX Security/Reliability

X Extensibility

XI MPLS Traffic Engineering

XII IV6

XIII Multi-Topology Routing

Much better than the Cisco Press books and I have all three:

Cisco Press, OReilly, and Addison Wesley...

Book Description

Using primary and secondary source material and numerous photographs and illustrations, The American Record presents history through a broad perspective. Blending the traditional approach to American history (centered on politics, economics, diplomacy, and war) with the modern approach (including histories of women and children, people of color, and the poor and economically marginal), it offers a version of our national past that is inclusive, complex, and dynamic. Volume 1 covers the span from the European conquest of America through Reconstruction; Volume 2 covers Reconstruction to the present.

Book Description

This history of the Crow Indians links their nineteenth-century nomadic life and their modern existence. The Crows not only withstood the dislocation and conquest visited on them after 1805, but acted in the midst of these events to construct a modern Indian community--a nation. Their efforts sustained the pride and strength reflected in Chief Plenty Coups' statement in 1925 that he did "not care at all what historians have to say about Crow Indians," as well as their community's faith in the beauty of its traditions and its inventions. Frederick E. Hoxie demonstrates that contact with outsiders drew the Crows together and tested their ability to adapt their traditions to new conditions. He emphasizes political life, but also describes changes in social relations, religious beliefs, and economic activities. His final chapter discusses the significance of the Crow experience for American history in general.

Customer Reviews:

An essential text for understanding the Crow Indian Culture.......1999-04-03

This well researched text provides great insight into the Crow Indian culture. Beginning with earliest recorded written accounts, proceding through the forced move of the Crow, or Apslaloke, from historic homelands and concentrated on their modern day reservation, this is an excellent introduction or supplement to a basic understanding of this plains nation. There is a lot of first person quotes, good photo documentation and scholarly posings. The book concludes with a interesting analysis of Chief Plenty Coups presentation at the dedication of the tomb of the unknown soldier and it's meaning as representative of Native American society at that time.

An excellent, basic survey of scientific understanding.......2004-11-09

The last few centuries have brought with them many advancements in human understanding of the structure and motion of the universe and have brought with them a new infusion of symbols, formulas and math - not to mention jargon - to illustrate these new sciences. In The Harmonious Universe, science writer and chemistry professor Keith Laidler shows how best to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the universe, examining the disciplines which have lately contributed a new understanding to how the universe works, and providing explanations of the latest major scientific developments. An excellent, basic survey of scientific understanding.
