I have found this book to be an excellent reference. The coverage of the install process is especially useful - it is clearer than the installation manual! I also like the chapter on high availability, which has a good explanation of Sun Cluster technology and how the DB2 HA agent works. The book has step-by-step instructions for most basic DBA functions, and has never been far from my hand since I found it.

This is the second book of Ms Logan's that I have read and I have loved them both. This one had a lot of humor in it. I loved Simon. My only complaint is that once things heated up between Delilah and Simon, they just didn't stop. It actually got a little boring to read those parts...just a little!

This book covers a number of African-Americans from early American history to the first two thirds of the twentieth century. The bios are usually about a page long. No Pictures.
This book has been deemed to be a core collection book for the Miami-Dade Public Library System, because it has a lot of people that aren't found elesewhere and because it is sited so frequently. Anyone interested in this area who can afford this book will not feel they wasted their money in purchasing it.

He was definitely a bad boy! San Diego deejay Dillon Danvers was not Dr Kristina Jordan's type. His long , shaggy , blond hair , bedroom eyes and seam busting shorts spelled trouble. But his velvet voice seduced Kristina- and all the other women in town- night after night on the airways.

Dillon was all wrong for the conservative doc. His favorite playground was a mattress, second only to a surfboard.Kristina had a teenager to raise, a practice to run. She wanted to a one-woman man, not a sexy fiend adored by hundres of fans. But Kristina couldn't stay away from Dillon- especially after dark.

This is a great book. If I'd read it three years ago when it first came out, I'd be very wealthy today. However, I did just the OPPOSITE of what this book said to do, thus, I lost a lot. Robert Logan's book, is a great learning tool. It is concise, to the point, and very prophetic. Here we are in the midst of one the worse recessions in history, and one of the worse bear markets in history, and Logan saw it coming 3 years go. Great book!! I wish he'd write another one about the NEXT 3 years (2002-2005).

This is a very impressive and timely book on Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) by 74 contributors in the field of pediatrics and child health from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Holland and Italy.
The term EBM was developed by Sackett and colleagues from the McMaster University (Sackett DL et al. Evidence based medicine. BMJ 1996;312:71-2) as "the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients" or in other words, good medical practice based on as much facts as possible for the benefit of your patient. Since 1991 this field has been incooporated into many medical schools around the work, textbooks published and now we see it reaching pediatrics and child health.
This superbly edited book (updates will be regularly posted on www.evidbasedpediatrics.com) is devided into three sections: "Finding, evaluating and applying the evidence"; "Evidence for routine practices: screening/prevention" and finally "Common pediatrics conditions" with a good and comprehensive index.
The steps in the practice of Evidence Based Pediatrics (EBP) are: to evaluate the clinical situation (by history, by examination and laboratory tests), identify information needs and structure clinical questions, search for relevant information from the literature, evaluate the evidence found or identify lack of evidence and finally apply the evidence to your patients.
You will find many useful and structured entries in this book from the issue of the "well child" to the common pediatric problems of otitis media, constipation, short stature or croup.
We believe that this important book should find its way to the desks of the practicing pediatrician, the lecturer in child health and the researcher in pediatrics.

This is a fascinating story by a man who fought in three wars as an infantryman, beginning as a private. It is obvious that he knows how to stay alive in combat and spends time talking about what he learned, but he attributes his own success to a belief that God had a purpose for him. One of the two or three best memoirs by a working infantryman that I have read. W. Dannenmaier (author of "We Were Innocents)."

This book may be the best text book I have come across in years.
If you have the basis of engineering (or physics or maths) you barely need an instructor.
The explainations are clear, and I haven't found any mistakes yet (if there are mistakes they will be few).
Lots of nice problems with answers provided.

This book is excellent for whom desires to learn on which basis FEMs work (undergraduate and graduate).

I found this text very helpful for bigginers in FE. It is well organized, easy to understand, as well as rich in examples and problems. It is very good to be your first course in FE.
