Just what I was looking for. The book gives a lot of insight on the internals of asterisk and tips on how to protect against hackers. Very good value for money.

Surprisingly bad, the worst in the Time-Life series
I've found the Time-Life series to be generally well done, presenting mostly introductory and basic material, but at least accurate. This volume is an exception.

Here was a man who played the fool, while positioning himself center stage. Clark brings this man to life through synthesizing first-hand interviews with family and friends along with ...

A good basic history of the Lincoln Assassination
This book, a volume in the Time-Life Civil War collection, is a good basic history of Lincoln's Assassination. As with the other volumes in the Time-Life series, this book has wonderful photographs and images from the Civil War period. I would recommend this book to people with little or no previous reading on Lincoln's assassination.

Interesting, insightful book about The Battle of Gettysburg
This is one of the books in the Time-Life Series, "Voices of the Civil War". In these books the authors/editors have taken passages out of diaries, letters to home, and personal observations of Union and Confederate Soldiers, along with photographs and pictures (of the soldiers, if a photograph is available), and given the soldier's viewpoints of the Battle. This is an insightful, moving, ...
