Author: Inc. Junior League of Mobile
Average review score:

Amazing Recipes
Bay Tables is a fabulous cookbook sure to impress any guest. My favorite recipe is the Sweet Red Pepper and Crab Bisque. It is just like something from a Gulf Coast restaurant! The cookbook has beautiful photography and wonderful recipes. Bay Tables makes an excellent gift for the holidays!

Incredible recipes and beautiful photography.
All the recipes I have tried in this new cookbook have been easy to prepare and delicious! The ideas for presentation are elegant. The photograpy in the book makes it an excellent gift item. Sidebars provide interesting tidbits on food preparation as well as gulf coast history!

Great addition to cookbook library
This is a beautiful book full of fabulous recipes! I have tried many of the recipes and they have all turned out very well. This is an especially good resource for shrimp and all other types of seafood recipes as well as recipes for wild game. This book also includes many easy and elegant side dishes.


CDMA Systems Engineering Handbook
Published in Hardcover by Artech House (October, 1998)
Authors: Jhong Sam Lee and Leonard E. Miller
Average review score:

Exceptional
This book is particularly best reference for research students working in the area of CDMA systems design or algorithm development. With extensive coverage, you will find any thing that you need to know about CDMA IS-95 systems.

Another good CDMA book
Artech house is the best publisher of CDMA books on the planet, hands down

A perfect book for both newbie and guru
This book not only clearly presents the CDMA/spread spectrum theories, but also structurally analyzes the reasons behind IS-95 standard from the system design perspective. As pointed by the other readers, this book is self-contained. However, if you already had a decent communications engineering background, you might find some parts of book are redundant.

HIGHLY recommended!! A perfect CDMA book for both newbie and guru.


Mobile and Wireless Design Essentials
Published in Unknown Binding by John Wiley & Sons (March, 2003)
Author: Martyn Mallick
Average review score:

Top notch, no BS book for the techie or his manager
Mallick's no-bs approach to taking the wireless ether, breaking it down into the elements that make it up, and then presenting it in a way that people from the warm diet-coke drinking geek to the pointy haird "Dilbert" manager is top notch.

Rather then being motivated by pitching products or solutions, the book does an outstanding job of painting the entire wireless landscape. What are the moving parts, how do they interact, and what is the impact they provide on the entire architecture. The writing style is down to earth, conversational, and brief.

This book is a must-have reference for anyone's home tech library.

best book on wireless technology
This is a wonderful book. I went from knowing nothing to having a broad, indepth understanding of wireless application technology. The scope of the book is just amazing. I felt like I got 10 books in one.

Excellent introduction to the mobile and wireless space
Mobile and Wireless Design Essentials is clearly organized and perfect for folks looking for a sweeping overview of the mobile and wireless space. I provides a great overview on a wide range of topics, giving readers the ability to begin on the path which is most appropriate for their project or interest. For those without current projects or with a desire to understand the industry in general, it does a good job of explaining the different application architectures, standards, and all of the buzzwords of the mobile industry. The diagrams and resources are great and help to explain a lot of the concepts, or provide a way to start digging deeper into topics of interest. Also, the depth of each topic is perfect for the intended audience. I recommend this book as a very current, thorough and invaluable resource for people beginning mobile projects or just interested in the space.


Mobile Guerrilla Force: With the Special Forces in War Zone D
Published in Mass Market Paperback by St. Martin's Press (April, 1997)
Author: James C. Donahue
Average review score:

A stunnigly real look into the minds of our Special Forces
I have read "Mobile Guerilla Force", "BlackJack 33", and "BlackJack 34" All three of the books are an amazing read, not the typical blood, mud and tears, hovever there is unfortunately a historically real amount of that as well. Not only do you get a sence of what life was like as a special operations operator in VietNam, but the laughs as well as the sorrows of day to day life in VietNam. The author also opened a porthole into the relationship that was built with the indiginous peoples that fought along side the Mobile Geurilla Force whose heroism is nothing short of legondary. As a reader, one can see the author settle into a comfortable writing niche' and progressively make each page seemingly more personal and real ("in the first person" if you will) to the reader. More stories like these need to be told of the triumphs of American Gi's in VietNam.
POW, MIA, VFW, Thankyou, you are not forgotten!
Sincerely Jc

MGF - What you would expect from Mr. Donahue
I have read at least 2 dozen books on combat in Vietnam and this is one of the best. The book is very well written. The author really makes you feel as if you are walking in the jungle of Vietnam side by side members of the mobile guerrilla force.

The Forbidden Zone has been penetrated.
This is one of the most exciting books that I've read about the war in Vietnam. Donahue puts you right there amongst the brave and loyal Khmer soldiers and the cunning and equally committed Viet Cong. Having spent some time in the area written about, I can attest to the accuracy of his brilliantly portrayed environment. This book is going into my permanent collection along with Blackjack-33 and Blackjack-34. Well written book that you can't put down until the end.


Going Wireless: Transform Your Business with Mobile Technology
Published in Digital by PerfectBound ()
Author: Jaclyn Easton
Average review score:

A good book on new business opportunities
The book presents a wide range of business cases as well as scenarios where wireless technology is used or can be used. The author sometimes gets too excited about the potential of the technologies involved but she proves that, at least in some areas, wireless is revolutionizing business, creating business value by providing convenience, mobility, agility and improved data accuracy.

Awesome book! Exciting! Riveting! GET IT!
I probably sound like a paid endorser, but the truth is, this book is fantastic. It's written beautifully, contains riveting stories, and is packed with insights, ideas, trends, and more. It's written for anyone in business ready to cash in on the future. Wireless is the next big trend. This book shows you how to surf it to the bank. Get it. Get it right now. -- Joe Vitale, author of way too many books to list here, ...

Great Book
I hesitated before buying Going Wireless because I didn't want a book about
how wireless works. Then I stumbled on the Newsweek review, read a couple
excerpts on the Going Wireless website and then bought it. My hunch was
right. This book is a real winner by cutting out the "geek speak" and
instead showing me directly how wireless can benefit my business. I highly
recommend it.


Kudjo: The Last Slave Voyage to America
Published in Mass Market Paperback by Over the Transom Publishing Co. (18 October, 1999)
Authors: Robert M. Glennon and b Sumrall
Average review score:

Kudjo: The Last Slave Voyage to America
It is a wonderful book! My only wish was that there was more of the Kudjo interview. I wanted him to tell more about his life and the things he experienced! This is really a rare historical piece that you won't find in any normal history text. Additionally, the phonetic spelling of his speech really brought him alive for me. Truly a unique voice from the past.

An intriguing historical story
I thoroughly enjoyed Bob Glennon's book about a wager which resulted in slaves being brought to America over five decades after slavery was abolished. The story of Kudjo was so intriguing that I couldn't put it down. I finished reading it the day it arrived.

Having worked with Bob Glennon over the past three years in a telecommunications project, it was truly a pleasure to read this re-telling of the story of Kudjo, expertly written and so realistic. I highly recommend it to everyone.

REPORTING ON THE SLAVE ISSUE WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Kudjo is a very well written book and is hard to put down without completing. I was amazed at how well the book addressed the slavery issue without prejudice or insult to the African slaves. Bob presented the Kudjo story from an view point of real truth by reflecting upon the dialects and mannerisms of the times. The little insights into the culture of the times really intrigued me. I look forward to reading more books by Bob Glennon. It is refreshing to read a book about the real history of our nation and not have it appear to be doctored with fantasy history in an attempt to make it interesting. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BOB AND GIVE US MORE.


Full-Time Rving
Published in Paperback by Trailer Life Books (April, 1993)
Authors: Jan Moeller and Bill Moeller
Average review score:

THE BEST book on full time RVing written to date
This book is written with a lot of first hand knowledge of all areas of living full time in an RV. It is also written for and by average people who do not have an unlimited income and therefore must keep an eye on the most efficient means to an end. They not only "talk the talk" but have "walked the walk" I have given away two other recent books on this subject, but I won't part with this one.

Useful and pleasant to read.
I really liked this book. It doesn't get so full of jargon it's unreadable- a problem with some similar books I've read. It explains RVing clearly to beginners like me but it also goes into technical detail for the more advanced. Just an all around useful book to have.

Best Full-time RVing Book to Date!
We own and have read a half-dozen of the newer full-time RVing books we have found. This new third edition of Bill and Jan's book is the most detailed and useful that I have yet to find. I can look an books after I am done and can tell how useful they are by how many folded page corners there are and how much yellow highlighting I had done. This one is tops. The latest in communications are covered, some of the best discussion on floorplans I have seen, and more.

This one is a must read.

M-Business: The Race to Mobility
Published in Hardcover by McGraw-Hill Trade (24 September, 2001)
Authors: Ravi Kalakota, Marcia Robinson, and Dr Ravi Kalakota
Average review score:

Nice Executive Overview of Mobile Applications
This book presents an excellent executive overview of the mobile applications landscape. The strength of the book is the unique perspective of extending "E-business" investments to the "M-business" -- mobile/multichannel -- environment. It presents the business side of mobile - CRM, SCM, Mobile Office and Mobile portals - without getting mired in the alphabet soup of 3G, GPRS, UMTS etc.

Eye opener
Before this book, I did not understand what all the hoopla on mobile commerce was about. I was getting lot of news on a daily basis on developments in the "m" space but it seemed like things were happening haphazardly. It was confusing. This book provided me with an unbelievable clarity. A must read.

Great Overview of Mobile Area
I am a newbiew to the whole mobile world. I was intimidated by all the technical jargon that was being thrown around. This book helped cut through the fog and provide a business perspective of "why businesses should care?" and "what apps make sense". I highly recommend this book.


Debt Free by 30: Practical Advice for Young, Broke, & Upwardly Mobile
Published in Paperback by Plume (02 January, 2001)
Authors: Jason Anthony and Karl Cluck
Average review score:

Good Advice and Funny Too
The authors weave pop culture references throughout each section and give practical advice. Most debt-relief books say things like "clip coupons" and "cancel your cable tv" but these guys understand that coupons expire and that cable IS a necessity! The very best feature of this book are the numerous websites for saving money on bills and getting low APR credit cards. Plus they never make you feel bad for getting into your debt mess since they've been there, too.

Great book
This is an awesome book! The authors obviously know their audience and offer great suggestions on ways to reduce debt. The section on dealing with credit card companies is invaluable. I took their advice and have already had the APR's on all my accounts dropped to below 8%. Both writers make it clear that becoming debt-free is not going to happen overnight, but their practical tips are things that you can do immediately to see a difference. Never are they preachy or condescending, but rather amusing, as they definitely make it clear that they've "been there, done that."
I highly recommend this book for any person who is aware of their impending financial doom and who wants to do something about it, but doesn't know quite where to begin.
I hope you find this book as inspiring as my husband and I have!

Excellent Advice, Easy to Read
Hey, these guys sounded even worse than me when it came to spending money they didn't have. As a twentysomething working in New York, this book offered sound advice with a style and tone I could relate to. I especially liked the "real world" examples and information on buying a car (I wish I read that before buying my paycheck-eater).

It also had excellent information on where your paychecks go, understanding the ATM and credit card schemes and how to read your monthly bank statements instead of just shoving them into a drawer.

I also liked the randomly placed pop culture references

"If capitalism is a religion, then Costco is its church"

Or

"Unlike spandex or KISS reunion concert tour T-Shirts, checking accounts are not one-size-fits-all products"

You won't read that in some blah 12-steps to financial freedom guide. If you remember Cherry Coke, ALF and Joanie and Chachi, this book could be the one for you.


How To Avoid DJ Horror Stories: The Standard Reference Guide For Brides, Party Planners And Anyone Else In The Market For A Mobile Disc Jockey
Published in Paperback by Jeff Harrison & Jon Paul (January, 1998)
Authors: Jeff Harrison and David Westenbarger
Average review score:

Substituting opinion for fact
Mr. Harrison is probably a good mobile dj but he makes the mistake of assuming regional preferences (such as clients not wanting lighting) and that most weddings go 4 hours is true all over. More importantly, there are numerous occasions where he states his opinion as fact. If these were truly facts, there would be documentation to back them up. There is a lot of good advice in this book but it's mixed in with a lot of opinions and outdated information which the target audience would like have difficulty sifting through.

Must read for all brides and DJs too!
I love this book! As a DJ with 15 years in the business, the author has said what everyone else was afraid to say. This is the all-out truth about DJ myths and marketing. Highly recommend this book.

A "MUST HAVE" for anyone looking for a DJ!!
In such a vast field as DJ services, it nice to be able to find the true gems among the pack. This book was instrumental in helping me select a DJ for my wedding, and I was EXTREMELY pleased with the results. If you want to know how to identify a "line" when you hear one from a DJ, GET THIS BOOK!
