This book, is a tremendous lying comments and injury.
Of course, the the writer will deny this fact, but this is the reality.

Perhaps the best feature of this book is the fact that it is structured as one large outline. This makes the material extremely easy to follow. It also allows for the individual subjects to be accessed easily. For example, if one is looking for information on "The Trinity and the Deity of Jesus Christ" (an important topic when dealing with the JW's), they will have little trouble finding the information because the book has a format that is user-friendly.

If you enjoy "doing" counter-cult apologetics, I cannot think of any resource I would give a higher recommendation to than this one. It has the three key features everyone should look for...1) an easy to follow format; 2) an objective presentation of the particular false teaching being discussed; and 3) a solid, Biblically-based refutation that can be appreciated by the Pastor, as well as the layman.

This book is pretty much a snapshot of the Linux Documentation Project's documentation. There are some very good chapters in this book, but unfortunately some of them are woefully incomplete, and should not have been included. Understand that all the material in this book is freely available on the net. If you value your printer, and don't mind shelling out some money for a bound tree-ware version, this is a very good book.

Not that it's wholly bad, but I'm still waiting for a real decent, honestly done linux book--something that would at least justify its title. Of course, this book's title doesn't mean much, so I shouldn't complain . Anyway, it's not that much about programming anything, but more about how linux is designed--with diagrams but with little code. (I guess it's no good for us readers to live through another half-a-year without having purchased yet another book with a depiction of i86 paging architecture ;-)

Writing ain't perfect either (I'm being charitable and ascribe the funny stuff to the writing failures, not incompetence.) A IRQ..." and more ponderous blah blah. Well, unfortunately, that's not *assigned* IRQs (on linux and anywhere else where interrupts are used.) This is not nitpicking on my part, this is an example of authors' mental mish-mash that I, as a student, remember suffering from in the past. The problem is that interrupts and IRQs are NOT the same or equivalent things. For someone who doesn't know that yet, this text will impede comprehension of the issues. This kind of thing. Well... whatever, I guess. Hopefully the reader isn't a complete newbie and won't be thrown off by a nice little bit of semantic backstabbing.

I must say, I hate the whole series, this book, and all the "Commentary..." books, where you got 400 pages worth of damn source printout (I'm not kidding, pure source code) with perhaps another 100 pages of questionable 'commentary'. It's clear to me that Coriolis, after having successfully got rid of writers like Abrash, decided to jump on the quick rip-off bandwagon, in that particular case, linux-related. Linux--that's where the money is today!

So, here's my the ones I mentioned from this black-cover series) as it perhaps does contain something of value--but there's not nearly enough there to justify an above $10-a pop price or 600-page volumes. The publishers have clearly mastered the art of fattening books up with blatant nonsense, like api references and, now, even multi-hundred-page source printouts.

Considering how much linux info is available completely free, I can't see any reason to spend money on this book.

For the collector of new miniature perfume bottles - this book would be fantastic. If you are looking for a reference book for older perfume bottles, this book is not for you.

This is an excellent book for anyone who collects mini perfume bottles. It has a price guide in the back that is very helpful when buying, selling, or trading minis. Ms. Bowman's other book is every bit as informative.

I was extremely disappointed. This book goes into no detail at all of how to actually set up and configure the web server. Has maybe one chapter on this and runs through it extremely fast without getting into any detail. After reading all the sections on configuring the web server, I had no idea which way to go to configure it correctly. It contains mostly 'fluff' on basic web page stuff and covers unnecessary material all throughout the book. Did not have anything on how to install as an FTP server or how to configure the ftp services. It needs to go into much more detail into the cfg files because these are essentail in getting the web server to operate correctly. This book covered nothing on those files. I expected a lot more from a Master CNE.

This is a very clearly written and informative introduction to setting up and maintaining a server for Web publishing. Besides chapters on installation and configuration, it also has an overview of HTML and some advanced web authoring techniques. The only drawback is that it will only teach you about setting up a Novell Web server (a fine choice actually) and so you won't learn anything about Unix or Windows NT servers. But that's to be expected since this book is a Novell product. Also, you will need to have a file server with NetWare or IntraNetware already installed, or access to one, before you can install the Novell Web Server 3.1 that comes with the book. If you are an accomplished webmaster you probably won't need to read this book, but if you are a novice just starting out, you will find much relief in having Jim Bowman as your friendly and helpful guide.

I was asked to teach a course of the same title, and the this text was already listed for the course. A few pages of each chapter are useful. The figures are good and the given definitions of lists, trees, and graphs are good. However, only a few pages are devoted per topic to definitions and related terminology. The remaining parts (bulk) of the chapters are devoted to academic C-language implementations of data structures and algorithms. Few, if any of the implementations scale well. There is an unnecessary emphasis on recursion. Complexities of the C language are introduced which distract from the main topic of the book. Much of the complexity is pointless, particularly from the point of view of efficient, intuitive coding practice. Even when C was a prominent industrial implementation language -- you would not want to train the work force in this manner. Look for another text.

I think it's a good book for beginers... and i need that for do classes in the school... it really could be an school book!

To whom it may concern: Do you publish the applied economic analysis for answers of problem and question in each chapter? We would like to buy this solution book. Which ISBN is the solution of this textbook?

We first meet Eli Pilgrim as a young man working on the family hog farm in post Civil War Ohio.While his mother and two brothers seek to turn the farm into a bacon and sausage processing concern ,his dreams lie elsewhere -to be precise Texas.
He sets out to make his fortune in Texas and his journey is by no means uneventful,encompassing as it does,an encounter with ambushers and a genial con-man.It is not till he gets to Texas that his troubles really start however.He kills a would be murderer and robber only to stand trial for murder at the instigation of a corrupt lawman and the victim's friends and relatives.He is exonerated thanks in part to his new employer the redoubtable rancher Big Step Benson.The thwarted accusers ambush Pilgrim and Big Step,killing the latter.
Pilgrim then sets out to track and kill the culprits ,and this forms the core of the book.
The big drawback to it is length.Ther basic story is functional and has served as the basis for many a terse,say 150 page ,paperback original.Sadly this is almost twice as long and neither the writing nor the pacing justifies the additional length
It is nigh on half way before Pilgrim arrives in Texas and there are supefluous pages towards the end of the book which add little to its impact.Scenes of gun play and training in quick draw techniques etc are well and propulsively written but its just too long.
Genre lovers will enjoy and take comfort from its familiarity but it will gain the Western no new converts

Scott McMahan Bowman. It is an account of the 1996 F.B.I./ Freemen standoff in Justus Township, Montana that is presented in Turning Point. This book may be summed up by these words:

Suspicious, superstitious, scurrilous, scotoma, sensitive, subjective, sacrifice.

Turning Point was after all Scott Bowman's personal recollection of the Montana Freemen's (Sovereigns) standoff which would explain the high dose of subjectivity throughout the book. At great sacrifice this report was obtained. Due, however, to limited vantage point, it discolors the perspective, as scotoma would one's physical vision. Hence, the comments regarding many the people involved in the saga are painted in terms exuding his suspicions of them as being "Feds." Most likely the suspicious aspects of the militia coming forth from the pages are both his personal, as well as, the practical, assessment of that stressful deadlock with the federal government and those who had even dared to challenge it. Scott is obviously very sensitive for the cause of liberty. The downside of that sensitivity, which evidences his subjectivity, is that Scott manifest a very superstitious attitude. Seeing various turn of events as signs of either good or bad indicate that superstitious nature. At times, Scott comes off outright scurrilous in relating the events about those whom he distrusted. Whether events prior to those which are described in the book or because of them, there is a sour spirit that surfaces. In spite of everything, this medium sized volume serves one, as would field binoculars on a field of battle, to view the arena of the ongoing struggle for liberty in America. To that end it has its merit.

As Pastor of the Eternal Grace Baptist Church, I would urge you to read it.

This book has been mostly written by relatives of Bowman County's military men and women who served our country during WWII. Some of the individual entries are very long while others are only a paragraph. Along with the individual's information, there is a photo. The book does not have an index of names, but the stories are in alphabetical order by surname. It has only 84 pages and is in hardback. You would want one for your Family Tree.
