Customer Reviews:

I've owned every edition of this book.......2006-08-10

It's had three revisions since the original 1997 edition; the latest in 2002. It constantly saves me time, and is amazingly complete. I wish they'd issue a 2007 edition; the 2002 material is not dated, but a lot of new technology has become commonplace since then: WiFi, IPv6, DSL, VoIP, etc.

A must-own for every networking professional.

Handy little pocket book.......2001-03-16

I have been in telecommunications for over 8 years, and carry this book around with me. The information in this book has helped me more times than I can remember. I definately recommend it.

It Never Fails.......2000-05-06

I have worked with different types of data links and communication hardware for five years. When it comes to handy references, this book is a must! It has never let me down.

Book Description

Questions about gender democracy are at the heart of this study of trade union change and revitalization. How can unions build solidarity when women and minority groups within their memberships are not adequately represented in leadership positions? How do unions respond to demands for voices from increasingly diverse constituencies? Strategies of challenge and change by women and social movement activists representing a range of class, ethnic, sexuality and disability perspectives are explored, drawing on research with major UK trade unions.

Book Description

Between the years of childbearing and grandparenting, a woman has a lot to juggle! Barbara Johnson shows how the road from marriage to menopause is filled with more than a few potholes . . . but provides women with more than enough hope and humor to make it through the journey.

Depends Review.......2000-11-03

This book will pull you in from the first page. Look for a letter from Martha Stewart to Erma Bombeck and the return letter from Erma to Martha, also find out about some Barbie Dolls new on the market. This author has a great sense of humor, even when dicussing serious matters. She makes you smile at yourself and when that happens, healing and learning occur. Thanks, Barbara.

I thought this book was going to be about women's wrestling!.......2000-07-12

Despite the scatalogical references in the title this was a Christian book in the end. Mrs. Johnson is not afraid to make herself the butt of the joke, and most of her stories were a gas. Though not fine literature, this book definitely deserves a number two. I'm grateful she felt that sharing these stories was her Christian duty.

But when, oh when, will she write about her experiences as a female wrestler? Barb, don't be shy!

Hillarious!.......2000-04-01

This book is a great, hilarious book. The stories are realy good. The only problem is that it is too short!

A Must Have for New Parents, or Grandparents!.......2007-09-17

I'm afraid of what life would be like without this book! My nephew was quiet at first but then woke up after a week or two and became very fussy. It's AMAZING how the techniques in the book calm him so quickly, it's like he's in a trance. You never expect to have a fussy baby but many parents do and this book will give you some great tips on how to make your baby feel safe & happy. Every new parent should read this book (Preferably before the baby is born b/c there won't be much time for reading after, especially if baby becomes fussy. You'll want to be prepared ahead of time)!

Book Description

In Global Cities, scholars from an impressive array of disciplines critique the growing body of literature on the process broadly known as "globalization." This interdisciplinary focus enables the authors to explore the complex geographies of modern cities, and offer possible strategies for reclaiming a sense of place and community in these globalized urban settings.

While examining major cities including New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Paris, and Hong Kong, contributors insist that the study of urban experiences must remain as attentive to the material effects as to the psychic and social consequences of globalization. Accordingly, essays explore the implications of global culture for architecture, cinema, and communication—but do so in a way that highlights the importance of the spaces between such metropolitan centers. These locations, the authors argue, serve as increasingly important "frontier zones," where a diverse set of actors converge and contend for power and presence. Such a perspective ultimately adds nuance and meaning to our understanding of the heterogeneous urban landscapes of these global cities.

A must for the rhetorical critic.......2006-07-03

It's this book that has convinced me that the historical-critical method is one of the most misunderstood and least appreciated approaches to rhetorical criticism. It's not mere historicism, but much, much more. I heartily recommend this book to the critic who does not want to decontextualise the discourse they analyze. Rhetorical criticism must yield real-world implications, not merely critical "insights" based on an ivory tower view from a postmodern perch!

Outdated and Incomplete.......2005-04-12

We know a lot more about the KAL 007 tragedy than we did when this book was written. Perhaps the most important thing we know is that, when the fighter pilot shot it down, KAL 007 was already outside Soviet airspace.

The fact that all the other reviewers don't see fit to mention that is very interesting.

If Hersh were to go back to this story, comparing what he thought then with what we know now, the result might be an interesting, important book. As it is, this book and the others like it aren't worth much of your time.

A Total Waste Of Time.......2003-07-26

Pure drivel, by one of America's foremost so-called investigative journalists, this guy couldn't track an elephant with a nosebleed. Whatever "investigative" success he has had, or will have, is/was due to his being a Jew and being spoonfed by his co-tribalists and their hangers-on in their various positions in and out of government.
People such as this author (James Oberg, for example, is a similar government-sponsored/endorsed public relations fixer who has also flung his dung extensively on this matter) need to be kept a very close eye on, because they are the ones who are primarily responsible for the public's acceptance of the blatant and transparent lies and falsehoods that have plagued the political life of this country now for several decades - and will ultimately destroy it if left unchecked.

Read Michel Brun's Incident At Sakhalin instead of this mass-hyped garbage.

Interesting, eh what...........2002-07-09

This book brings it all home. Those disbelievers have their necks screwed on backwards. Wake up! This is how WAR is fought! This is WHY wars are fought! This is WHAT really happens in the light of day! and the darkness of moonless nights. Errors are made, therefore tragedy. Those who are educated must see that our countries are groomed towards certain destinies controlled by those who are evil and those who are not so evil, but trained to respond in the best way possible. Very well written.

A Bit of Cold War History.......2002-04-06

Wow, some of the things that took place in the cold war were catastrophes. The difference between this incident and the American shoot down of the Iranian plane is that this was done on purpose it would seam. I think if you would read more about this era you would find that the USSR did finally discipline the Commanders that made this mistake, but in typical Soviet style they did it in secret thus eliminating any public good will they may have gained. I think the biggest error made by the Regan administration is that they did not immediately release the tape, which one could argue that the gathering of the information may have lead to the 007 shoot down. The book is an enjoyable read that moves fast.

Who knew what, when about the Korean airliner shootdown:.......2001-10-18

This is a book about the selective use - and misuse - of intelligence information.

On Sept. 1 1983, a Soviet fighter pilot was ordered to shoot down Korean Airlines Flight 007, even though the pilot argued with his superiors and repeatedly identified the plane as a civilian plane. Breaking with usual intelligence policies, the Reagan administration released the recorded conversation between the fighter pilot and ground control to news media and the world.

This breach was made for political reasons. The impression this was intended to create was that it was standard Soviet policy to shoot down civilian airliners. This jeopardized our future intelligence-gathering capabilities, because it gave away to the Soviets just how sophisticated our intelligence-gathering was, and the extent to which Norway was providing us with info.

Many U.S. intelligence officers were dismayed by the way this was done, because the Reagan administration also withheld all information about the intense U.S. military activity that was being conducted in the area with reconfigured civilian aircraft. For the past several years, the U.S. had been routinely flying specially-configured Boeing 707s equipped with electronic communications surveillance equipment over the Barents sea and other areas that KAL flew over. In fact, a Cobra Ball surveillance plane was in the air to the south of the KAL flight path the same day. George Schultz made sure Cobra Ball was safely in its hangar before they made any announcements about the shootdown of a civilian plane.

The U.S. had also performed massive military maneuvers with three carriers and 23,000 personnell just off Soviet Far Eastern waters six months earlier (in March of 1983), and six U.S. fighter jets overflew Soviet airspace during these exercises. While officially the U.S. claimed the overflight by the six fighters was a mistake, this was widely believed among the U.S. intelligence community to be a deliberate provocation by the U.S. military.

Soviets often put civilian markings on military transports, and given all the increased U.S. military and surveillance activity just off Soviet territorial waters in 1981-83, it becomes far more plausible that the commanding Soviet officers on the ground suspected that Americans had done the same thing with one of our electronic surveillance planes.

The U.S. and Canada shared intelligence information, and the Reagan administration was very unhappy with Canada because Prime Minister Trudeau (based on the same intelligence information provided to the U.S.) said he was sure the Soviets made a tragic mistake, and believed they were shooting down a U.S. intelligence plane that, like the six fighters earlier that year, was testing their defenses and their response times.
