If you are new to this world this is where you should begin. Digital Evidence contains all the knowledge one could amass by obtaining PHD in computing. Especially when you don't have time for a Diploma. I have bought 5 books pertain to digital crime from USA and UK. But this is the one and only book I am recommending to any one in any continent who want to learn or new to this arena. All the other books in this field for Attorneys or with similar requirements are some what academic and may be boring. The CD-ROM accompanying the book gives you much needed hands on training, otherwise which will cost you at least US $ 4000, if you are to go to a training centre to do the same.

Sometimes, defense attorneys have it easy: one slip-up by the prosecution and evidence is thrown out. Knowing that, law enforcement goes to great lengths to ensure that evidence is appropriately collected and protected. That works well in the physical world, where law enforcement has many generations' worth of experience. But in the modern world of computers and digital networks, where the simple act of rebooting a computer is enough to wipe out large amounts of evidence, law enforcement clearly needs thorough guidance.

Such a resource is here: Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, an excellent book that details the elements of digital crime. Author Eoghan Casey does a superb job of applying forensic science to computers. The information presented here is critical to a diverse audience: law enforcement, attorneys, forensic scientists, and systems administrators, for instance.

While cybercrime law is in some ways similar to other aspects of criminal law, it nonetheless has its own language and categories. For instance, jurisdiction is a key element in both the physical and digital realms, but it is a much trickier concept in the latter. Casey develops this topic and many more. Those new to computers and networks need not worry: the book begins with an explanation of how they function. With the basics out of the way, Casey details how computers can be used in crime and how the evidence created from these activities can be used for later analysis....The accompanying CD-ROM contains simulated cases that integrate many of the topics covered in the text. In all, the book and CD are an excellent introduction to an increasingly important area of law enforcement.

This text was used for the digital evidence and computer crime class that I just completed. The book is clear and easy to understand. It goes into detail only when needed. I was concerned that this information would quickly become out of date, but the ideas presented are current and provide a solid background for understanding any newer technologies that come down the road. I usually sell my books after the semester ends, but I have decided to keep this one.

Versus Books Crystal Perfect Guide has everything the Gold and Silver Perfect Guide has and more. Not just the Crystal exclusive information, but information on items, including held items, Key Items and Mystery Gift Items. It even tells you where to find hidden items with itemfinder!!! They have extended their coverage on breeding and hatching time for eggs and organized their Pokedex alphabetically. I appreciate this because one doesn't have to look at the index to find the Pokemon page # anymore. Certain Pokemon that learn Crystal exclusive moves don't have a list of moves they learn in Gold/Silver so you'll have to reference the Gold/Silver Guide to find them. The guide has one section of a page listing the Battle Tower information, and has a slightly better coverage of it than Prima's Guide; I still would have liked to see at least a full page dedicated to it. The guide is still riddled with errors here and there; typos and misplaced pictures or Pokemon names in trainer rosters, but that is to be expected in a book of this size. The authors are still somewhat subjective in their ratings of your favorite Pokemon but do a better job of reminding you to "catch 'em all". Versus Books still perpetuates this myth that each badge increases the level of Pokemon you can control by 10. My personal experience shatters this misinformation along with a kind Pokemon player I met last year when I started playing Pokemon. (If you want obedience from a traded Pokemon of a specific level, you MUST have THE correct badge) The guide is massive, offers a great deal of good information and is the closest to the best guide you can get for Pokemon Crystal, A lot of work and time went into this and and it shows (maybe a little more time to make corrections here and there would have been nice). This guide is what the Gold/Silver guide should have been, nearly everything you need to get the most out of your gaming experience.

Well, I got this guide last Christmas with my Pokemon Crystal, and I love it! This guide has soooo much information on Pokemon in the Pokedex, and even tells you which Pokemon should be breeded so you can have a great baby Pokemon! There are precise walkthroughs for every area, and has Pokemon appearance charts for Crystal as well as Gold and Silver! Every trainer and gym leader has stats and guides to help you on your way to becoming the Champion! And there's a FULL item list and where to get each item! Isn't that great! I have almost beaten the game with this guide, and it has helped me so much! I'm not even a real Pokemaniac either, yet I just can't stop playing this game! I would reccomend this guide to anybody who gets Pokemon Crystal, Gold, or Silver, because the title doesn't lie when it says, "PERFECT GUIDE"

This guide really is deserving of Perfect Guide. But if your looking for a thinner guie like say Prima (Also recommended) is a good guide as well.

The guide explains just about everything you need to know about the game. This tells you about the difference between Gold and Silver and Crystal. The walkthrough is very organized and not so many errors are in the guide. The walkthrogh also explains how often Pokemon appear on routes, and tells what pokemon each trainer in each area has. I STILL Say you shouldn't trust what they say about the Pokemon, experiment. Also the guide as a sense of humor as well (good ol' Casey Loe).

Now are you ready for the best part? The Pokedex is the most detailed Pokedex of all time! Better then their Pokemon Gold&Silver guide and the Pokemon Yellow guide! However, the pokedex is like 160 pages long! Thats more than half the guide! So the only negative was I was hoping that they could at least have an Index in the back of the book or something. Also unlike previous guides they actually have an items list!!! That's great.

Overall, I think that for a Pokemon Guide its a bit thick but for effort the guide gets an A

Overall:
Positive
+Beautiful Pokedex
+The best walkthrough in the history of Strategy Guides
+Good sense of humor
+Crytal Clear Screenshots
+Good Tables

Negative
-Guide is a little thick for a Pokemon guide
-An Index needs to be with Pokedex

Other than that this is probbly the best Pokemon guide ever made, better get it before VERSUSB BOOKS sells out!

Mr. Christopher Bing has reconceptualized "Casey at the Bat" from being a poem that appeared in the June 3, 1888 edition of the San Francisco Examiner into an imaginary news story with drawings and artifacts in "The Mudville Sunday Monitor" of the same date. In that reframing, the classic poem takes on a greater life and significance for fans of the poem.

Each page in this brief book resembles the yellowed file copies of that old newspaper, with historic artifacts strewn across its pages. You will see tickets to the game, money, confetti, articles of that time, advertisements, a baseball, a baseball card, and the Library of Congress catalog card for "Casey at the Bat." Even the acknowledgments are put into this format.

But this would all be but window-dressing if it were not such a powerful poem that has captured the imaginations of baseball fans for generations.

"The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville nine . . . ."

"The score stood four to two with but one inning more to play."

Everyone hopes that Casey will get to bat, but that's unlikely. But a miracle happens.

"For Casey, mighty Casey, was advancing to the bat."

Then comes the most famous and exciting at-bat in fictional baseball history.

Alas, like the Red Sox since Babe Ruth left for New York, the end is disappointment for the fans.

This book will make a wonderful gift for the baseball fan who has everything.

After you finish oohing and aahing over the great illustrations and reliving your pleasure in the poem, I suggest that you reflect over the famous at-bats that have occurred in real baseball games. Which one is your favorite? For me, none can match Kirk Gibson's hobbling home run to help the Dodgers top the Mets in Shea Stadium in the final game of the National League Championship Series and go onto the World Series. I still get chills thinking about that. Reggie Jackson's third home run in the same World Series game comes close as a thrill.

Wait for a good pitch, and hit it out of the park!

Originally submitted to a newspaper in 1883, Ernest Lawrence Thayer's poem "Casey at the Bat" has become an American classic. In essence, it is baseball's equivalent version of "Twas the Night Before Chritsmas."

"Casey at the Bat" has become a part of pop culture, and is still one of the most talked about stories of all time. Christopher Bing takes the wonderful classic, and adds in some amazing illustrations to make for a fantastic children's book. Presenting the poem with a myriad of sepia toned images is exceptional. The book reads like a scrapbook, with amazing-looking old newspaper clippings that reflect the times of the story. There are also pictures of old currency and replica baseball tickets to give it a more complete feel.

This book is put together quite nicely. Again, the illustrations are perfect, and the scrapbook appearance gives it a genuine look of something that you will want to treasure with your children. This is a classic poem that every person should have the benefit of hearing. Christopher Bing's version is the best I've ever seen, and is a must for any family with children. There will be plenty of joy in your home with this book.

Our elementary school library currently has three versions of the classic baseball poem, "Casey at the Bat," by three different illustrators. This one was added because of its well-deserved status as a Caldecott Honor book (for illustrations).

Since I usually make an annual Spring tradition of reading "Casey" to some classes, I can tell you that this edition by Christopher Bing works very nicely for group read-alouds. However in this setting kids miss out on the many interesting--but smaller--details that Bing has added to each page, such as a faded newspaper clipping about "the barbaric practice of using only a single ball throughout the nine innings of play..." Students are also drawn to the 1880s currency--bills and coins--shown on the page that says, "We'd put up even money now with Casey at the bat."

Christopher Bing has created a mini-museum display that many children will devour like an "I Spy" book, particularly if they are baseball fans or history buffs.

If you are not familiar with this wonderful poem, I'd put it in the same "classic" status as "The Night Before Christmas," by Clement C. Moore; "Paul Revere's Ride," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; or "The Cremation of Sam McGee," by Robert Service.

Romance maestro Lori Foster brings a most gratifying conclusion to her popular Buckhorn Brothers' series where Sawyer's son, Casey Hudson reunites with the reputed bad girl Emma Clark after a 8-year separation and finds himself in love with the stronger, resilient woman who had outgrown her adolescence and shame.

Readers will immediately identify with the awkward teenage Emma who escapes from her dysfunctional family and runs into the embrace of the reliable Casey, lying to her father that she is pregnant. She is ashamed but helpless especially when Casey's family offers her comforting solace. Harboring a crush for Casey but knowing that his bright future excludes her, she escapes alone to Chicago and finds herself a new life with the help of the affectionate Damon as a massage therapist. Her return to see her ill father 8 years later becomes a reunion and a revival of love between Casey and her.

Lori Foster glosses the Cinderella romance with a dose of emotions and gumption in the determined Emma and pumps warmth and kinship into the arteries of the Kentucky town with the gathering of Sawyer, Morgan, Gabe and Jordan and a glimpse of their bliss. Even the unlikely Ceily has found herself a love interest. Ms. Foster's sensual style as usual is a pleasure to watch and Casey is a delicious hero with the protective streak. What more can we ask for given the first-rate romance and sanctuary of family bliss except indulge in more?

CASEY by Lori Foster is the final book in the Buckhorn Brothers series originally published back in 2000 by Harlequin Books. This time, Casey gets the big book treatment and what a delight these 290+ pages are.

When we last saw Casey Hudson, the son of Sawyer Hudson and the nephew of Morgan, Gabe and Jordan, he was just reaching adulthood facing not only his future, but the wrath of a angry man...the father of Emma Clark, a close friend of his. Readers were left hanging, wondering what happened to Casey and Emma. In CASEY, we find out.

The story opens with an expanded version of what happened that night and what transpired for the young Casey and Emma. She left that night, never to be seen again until she shows up in town to visit her sick father. Casey, in the meantime, becomes a successful businessman and still remembers Emma and wonders what happened to her. They meet the first night she is back, and the sparks still fly.

Casey wonders why Emma is back in town to see her father, when the man was mean to her. Ultimately he learns the truth. In the meantime, they explore their relationship, only this time as adults. Casey is determined that Emma stay in town this time and does a good job convincing her, both in bed and out of bed. As always, Ms Foster knows how to write a steamy romance that curls your toes and makes you reach for ice water, with characterization that is honest and true.

Sometimes sequels, or long awaited stories, do not live up to a reader's expectations. With CASEY, the anticipation was worth it. The words flowed and I hated to put it down. I learned what happened to Casey and the rest of the Buckhorn town folks, including Sawyer and his brothers. I got introduced to new characters. (Loved the Nurse named Lois) A subplot in the book was a romance between Ceily, the waitress seen in the Buckhorn series books, and a male friend of Emma's. It went well with the rest of the story, and the ending of the book helped tie up the loose ends for the characters. It was great seeing the brothers again and their interaction with one another.

If you are looking for a steamy romance with a story of families that are close and great characters, then you must read CASEY. The whole Buckhorn Series has been delightful reading for me and I know for others. I can't wait to read the next Lori Foster book.

Casey is the last story in the Buckhorn series, and it's the best one yet. I got so involved in the story that I couldn't put the book down! I loved the way Casey and Emma evolved, both as individuals, and in their relationship. I liked seeing Emma gradually let Casey in on the details of her past - and how he figured some things out on his own. Seeing how Casey and Emma treated each other, each realizing that the other had changed and grown over the years, and watching them adjust to the changes. Seeing how Emma was so easily accepted by Casey's family as one of their own - as a scared teenager, and as Casey's wife. I loved the way all of the Buckhorn brothers and their families were involved in the story, too. It was also great to see Ceily have a romance of her own. I wasn't too sure about Damon at first, then I realized it was because I had been seeing him through Casey's eyes! It's sad to see the Buckhorn series end, but I'm sure I'll be back for plenty of visits.

I expect a great book when I see Katy Munger is the author, but I'm always surprised at just how good the books are. The Casey Jones series is a first-day-rush-to-the-book-store and grab the next book in the series for an evening's entertainment, and you might as well block off the entire evening, because you won't be able to put this puppy down. :) I thought Legwork was fantastic, but each book in this series is better than the last. Better Off Dead is a carefully plotted, thrilling mystery populated by colorful characters, and the star, Casey Jones, is my idol. The only bad thing about Better Off Dead was I finished it so quickly; however, I do plan on making up for that by reading it again soon.

If you enjoy great writing, a suspenseful plot and several good laughs per book, then this book is for you.

A serial rapist/murder is preying on Duke University coeds and PI Casey Jones is called upon to flush out the sadistic brute responsible for the dastardly deeds. Armed with an illegal handgun (she has an unfortunate felony in her background), an outlandish disguise, a strong sense of purpose, a fat hound dog, and a houseful (literally) of offbeat and delightful characters, Casey places herself in harm's way before finally bringing the cowardly perpetrator to justice.

This book is an appealing example of what Ms. Munger calls Tart Noir and a delightful romp of a mystery story. Just when you think you have safely climbed down from the edge of your chair at the climax of the story, Ms. Munger tantalizes you with just one more tidbit of a mystery.

If you like quirky characters, some fast paced action, a few sudden plot twists or turns, a nicely plotted story, and good tongue in cheek humor, I think you will like this book.

The Casey Jones books are a gem that I savor -- while reading as fast as I can! Casey is a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners PI in North Carolina. Her boss can't stop eating Little Debbie cakes, and her boyfriend can't stop Casey from doing what she wants to do. In this book, a string of rapes on a college campus results in Casey having to go undercover as a college student. Meanwhile, her whole group of crazy friends moves into a victim's house and sets up an adult frat-house. At times, Casey is the sanest of the lot. Katy Munger has the wit of a Janet Evanovich or a Harlan Coben -- with the hard-boiledness of a Robert Crais or an SJ Rozan. But Casey Jones is her own woman, and she gets better and better with every book (as does Katy Munger). Pretty amazing, for an author who was excellent to start with!

The 7th Edition of Joel Whitburn's The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits is every bit as good as the previous six editions. If you are interested in how songs fared on the charts, this book is a must for you as it lists the chart positions of every song that has made the Top 40 from 1955 to 1999. There are some good pictures of 45 sleeves and newer singles covers with a bit of info on the song and artist. The book is easy to follow and under most every artist, there is a snippet of info about them as well as gold and platinum certifications for the songs. This book is one of the best reference books around.

The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits is an indispenable reference book and I have used the previous editions for years in my profession as a D.J. This reference covers the variety of charts and is exceptionally easy to use. I like the fact that it is cross-referenced by artist, song title, and year. It continually builds my knowledge of music, settles trivia debates, and answers all musical queeries. It has also kept so many songs from becoming lost to the new sounds/songs being produced every day. I refer to it as the bible of the industry, and have worn the covers off every single edition. If you want to be a part of the music field, then make this the very first edition in your music reference library. You will be surprised how much you learn, and you will also be reminded of so much that you have forgotten. It will make you smarter in the music field, and will bring back so many memories lost.

I have purchased each new edition of this book and have never been disappointed. The 7th edition chronicles every Top 40 hit through the end of the millenium. I'm not in the music business, but love seeing what hits each artist has had and how how they went on the chart. This book does a great job of cross-referencing songs, so if a song is officially credited to Puff Daddy featuring Mase, then it is listed in this book under both artists. This is incredibly helpful given the recent proliferation of guest artists on chart singles. Whenever I hear an unknown oldies hit on the radio, I can't help but look it up in this book and find out the artist. A must for every fan of music.

This is the first of the Casey Jones book I have read. Casey is a rather brash, in-the-face kind of person whom I would love to have for a friend. She sets her mind on something and goes after it, no matter what the consequences. I found the story well-written and especially liked the ending where Munger brings you up-to-date on all of the main characters. I don't like to read series out of order and wish I had read "Legwork" first; it will definitely be second.

Fans of female PIs, rejoice! Katy Munger's Casey Jones is equal to the very best in the genre: Grafton, Barnes, Paretsky. Out Of Time, the second in the series, is a breezy, fast-paced read with a hard centre. Intriguingly Munger pretty much gives away the identity of the killer about halfway through the book, making the rest of the novel a nail-bitingly suspensful duel between Jones and her prey. Also unusually, she throws in a dozen pages at the end detailing exactly what happened to everyone after the killer's nabbed. Casey Jones herself is the most endearing investigator since Carlotta Carlyle debuted. There's plenty of wit and wisecracks, but Munger always keeps it under control; the plot never descends into farce the way it does in, say, Janet Evanovich's books. And my God, can this woman WRITE! A few words, half a sentence, and she's conjured up a minor character, and made them more memorable than anything Patricia Cornwell's done in the last decade. Buy it, and you'll be, like me, lining up to buy the rest of the Casey Jones series.

Katy Munger was recommended to me because I love Janet Evanovich's books. Not as over-the-top as Evanovich, this book had its share of wit but combined it with a tight mystery plot and a horde of fascinating secondary characters. A writing workshop lecturer once told me: every character in your book thinks they're the star of it. Well, every character in this book COULD be the star of their own story because they're so wonderfully crafted and intriguing.

Even if the ending stretched out overlong, I didn't mind because it gave us the conclusions for each character's story, and by that time I'd come to care about what happened to them.

Casey Jones is a fascinating character, a little too much on the yang side at the beginning but who softens up during the course, a woman who makes mistakes but learns from them; smart and sexy, confident and not twenty-one. We care what happens to her. We care about the case she's working on and the people she's working for.

And it's all set right around my house! I was THRILLED to see landmarks of North Carolina's Research Triangle throughout the book, adding layers of our area's peculiar flavor to an already eccentric viewpoint.

So I'm here on Amazon to snarf up some more Casey Jones books. You go, Katy Munger! One question to you and Evanovich: how can your heroines eat so much and not gain weight???

When I first began playing Ocarina of Time, I couldn't figure out what to do even only a little bit into the game. After that I went out and bought my first perfect guide. It gave me everything. As soon as I got Majora's Mask, I knew I couldn't live without the Perfect Guide again so I went out and bought it. It gave me a step by step way to get all the masks, heart peices, stray fairies and a thorough walkthrough of all the dungeons. All the other guides tell you to do things out of order so you have to go back and see if you missed anything. Versus Books Gives it all in the right order.

this book had everything i needed to beat the game. it had every heart piece, stray farie, the entire bombers notebook, and not to mention a really good way of telling you how to go about beating the temples. the explaination of how to get the masks was perfect. i had no confusion whatsoever in the game. its the best cheat guide i have ever owned for any game.

When I heard that Majora's Mask came out, I knew I could count on Versus to make a Original Perfect Guide for this awsome game. They did a really great job on the Ocarina of Time guide. I didn't even think about buying a guide from any other company. I knew that Versus's guide would be complete and very detailed. At first I didn't know if they had made one yet, but when I checked out some stores I found it. Versus did a really great job. Great work Versus!

This is THE perfect guide (no pun intended) for the greatest N64 game ever. I'm so glad that I got this guide again, having lost my other one. The Versus Book's guide is the most in-depth, comprehensive book I've seen for Ocarina of Time. A must-have for any Zelda fan, even if they don't own the game (which I seriously doubt)! The book itself was in perfect condition, even though I ordered it as Very Good. The service and shipment had no problems. I just can't find anything bad to say about it. Just buy the guide already!

This is the best guide for Zelda 64 that you can own! This guide gives you every secret, it has an appendix full of all the Big Poes, ALL of the 100 Gold Skulltulas, and the secret 13th song, Scarecro's Song! And Scarecrow's Song comes in handy! And it has really good tips on getting the Biggoron's Sword which rules, and how to get the horse! And because of this guide I got them both on my first try! And with this guide I beat the Water Temple easily! And the Water Temple is the hardest dungeon! This guide gives you everything about this game. It gives you every secret and awesome strategys. If you own Zelda 64, you have to get this guide to help you. IT RULES! And it makes Zelda more fun, because you actually know what you're doing! Don't buy any other guide and waste your money, buy this guide, this has EVERYTHING!

I bought the Prima Guide & this one, I have to say this guide rules! Not even up against Prima, but up against anything! The only downside to the guide is that sometimes it takes things for granted and some of the incredibly stupid gamers (such as myself) might be stuck for a minute or two, but it always works out. Although the features of the book sound cliche (i.e. all 36 Heart Peices, All 100 Gold Skulltallas) they do it in such detail that it puts other guides to shame. Detailed maps of EVERY place in the game (and I mean every place, there's even a map of Hyrule Field provided for Poe Hunting) round out this fantastic book. MUST BUY!

I remember the first time I dove. I came home and tried to tell all my friends and co-workers how great it was. The problem was that I couldn't explain it... No one got it. When I read Down Time I knew that I had finally found someone or something that could illustrate the joys and highs of diving to anyone, divers and non-divers alike. There is something for everyone in here. Shark encounters, cave diving, scary stories, funny stories and delightful poems are just a sample of what lay in store for the readers of Down Time.

For the cerebral diver, this book makes it possible to re-live your best moments under water and hang on in the real world until your next dive trip. The articles selected provide both a glimpse into the history and amazing development of the dive industry and also the associated beauty of diving that we all experience. This anthology is creatively crafted and a joy to read.

This book is an anthology of great writing about the experience of scuba diving. It includes fiction, non-fiction and poetry from some really fine authors writing about things they obviously care deeply about. The selections were carefully chosen and artfully arranged. The writers include some obvious choices, like Peter Benchley of "Jaws" fame, but they also include some less-obvious choices, like the humorist Dave Barry. All in all, it is a great book for anyone who loves to dive -- or thinks they might love it.
