The Profession of Politics
Published in Paperback by Plutarch Press (October, 1989)
Author: Max, Weber
Average review score:

An analysis of the political attitude
In this extremely clean work, the great sociologist gives a truly impartial representation of what Politics has been in the past times (here is the only limit of the work, since it cannot obviously be comprehensive of the modern developments of the issue), and which are its structural elements and turning points. The descending depiction of the ideal type of the political man is extremely explicit. The author is absolutely demanding regarding the required ethical approach. Nonetheless, an eventual politician should first of all realize that the nature of Politics is descending from the need to administrate violence into civilized societies. Furthermore, a person with such a conception should also be able not to fall into a selfish or partial attitude in the exercise of power. A writing through which to gain a clearer -and more stinging- conception and interpretation of the daily "road show" of politics, and through which to better develop a correct judgement of the real person that stays behind the well built mask of each big political leader. A masterpiece of the highest intellectual cleverness.


Programming in Clipper 5/Includes Version 5.01
Published in Paperback by Addison-Wesley Pub Co (December, 1991)
Authors: Mike Schinkel, Edward Weber, and Terry Dietzler
Average review score:

What a Wonderful Book! :-)
Well...since I am the main author, I guess I'm a little biased. :-)

My goal when we wrote the book was to write the "K&R" for the Clipper language. Of course, few people are developing for DOS today, but it you are and you want to know the intimate details of how the Clipper language works, consider picking up a copy.

If you have a question for me (though I can't remember much about Clipper today since I've not used for over 6 years), feel free to email me at mikeschinkel@hotmail.com.

I just finished filling up my training log and already bought another one. It is great. It leaves enough room for you to fit your whole workout, provides inspirational quotes, background information on famous runners, and so much more. It is one of the best training logs out there.


The Reed Maker's Manual: Step-By-Step Instructions for Making Oboe and English Horn Reeds
Published in Spiral-bound by Weber Reeds (December, 1990)
Authors: David B. Weber, Ferald B. Capps, and Vendla K. Weber
Average review score:

This is a GREAT book!
If - like me - you have struggled for years trying to make decent reeds (american scrape), this is the book for you! The authors guide you painlessly through their step-by-step method. NOTHING is left out, and the chapters are carefully arranged so that you can quickly find what you need. My VERY FIRST reed using this method was performance quality!

The book is spiral bound so it stays open at the page you need while you're scraping - a simple but neat idea. Some highlights:

* How to sharpen your knife

* How to crow CORRECTLY (and understand what you hear!)

* Tying on without cracks or leaks

* Get a working reed from the crow alone

this book is worth every shekel!


Reed's Beach
Published in Hardcover by Pocket Star (October, 1993)
Authors: Bret Lott, Jane Rosenman, and Weber
Average review score:

Tears and Smiles of Healing
A lesson in life and love that cannot be read without tears and smiles. The journey these parents have just begun to recover the son they have so tragically lost touched me so deeply that when I finished it I didn't want to talk to anyone because I didn't want to lose contact with their world. Mr. Lott has done his homework well. As a professional who sometimes must help parents through the initial moments of a child's death - I recognized the experience of Hugh and Laura. I applaud that he never once used the word "closure", because there never is any. But the strength to many healings will come from the memories of Michael that they and many others will gradually come to have the strength to share. There are no miracles to make it all better, but as they learned, there are a lot of small moments of pain that will get them through.

This is a book for parents, friends of parents, nurses, doctors...or just anyone who has ever loved a child.

Scalable Shared-Memory Multiprocessing
Published in Hardcover by Morgan Kaufmann (June, 1995)
Authors: Daniel E. Lenoski and Wolf-Dietrich Weber
Average review score:

Wonderful Treatise on Cache Coherence
This book on cache coherence and shared memory multi-processor systems should be on every OS developer's desk; in fact, it should be well worn and marked up with lots of highlighting, underlining, and phrases of "Oh so THAT's how it works!" written in the margins.

The authors do a wonderful job describing the principles of cache coherence and the difference between message passing (or distributed) systems and shared memory systems. The rest of the book, of course, is spent on the latter, and the authors delve into such topics as: memory latency (and how to reduce/hide latency), NUMA and COMA architectures (and different interconnect networks), memory prefetch, memory bandwidth, various cache consistency models, and a lot of examples of various applications and the cache invalidation patterns those applications exhibit. And that's all just in the first 3 chapters of the book!

The book describes the architectures of several of the scalable shared memory systems that existed in the mid-90's, and then it goes on to describe a system called DASH that was implemented by the authors and folks at Stanford. At first I thought I was going to be put off by the focus on DASH, but it actually had the opposite effect. The chapters on DASH did a great job of going through all the details and clearly showing me how all this works "in practice."

I'm a software guy, and this book was recommended to me by a hardware guy, and I think it's a must for anyone doing software development for large complex multi-processor systems.

The writing is very clear and straight-forward, though it's not something I can read while the television is on (in other words, I've got to concentrate while reading this book).

Not only would this book be useful as a college CS Architecture textbook, but it's proving to be highly useful in the workplace!
