Router Security Strategies: Securing IP Network Traffic Planes

5 reviews

Cisco Press, 2008

Excellent coverage of the intended subject matter.
We finally have a book that pulls several different IOS security strategies together. So many references prior to this one touch on these topics sporadically but I have yet to find a better resource that covers all the bases as does this one. The things I like about this book: So many authors tend to try to spread their subject matter out too wide and take too broad of an approach when ...

The Eugenic Assault on America: Scenes in Red, White, and Black

J. David Smith

George Mason Univ Pr Trade, 1992

Eugenics and the persecution of "mixed race" Americans
Smith shows the 20th century link between anti-miscegenation laws and the eugenics movement. Forced sterilization of the institutionalized, racial registration and restricting miscegenation were all linked to the idea of "improving" the [white] gene pool. The best part of the book is the hidden history of the minority of fanatical racial purists who wanted to ban all non-caucasian ancestry (with ...

Routledge, 2002

The Baltics in the 20th century
This book will help you to better understand Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which have remarkably different personalities, although often collectively referred to as the Baltics. The countries are treated separately, as they deserve to be, illustrating their individual ambitions, which are often at odds to each other. I was very impressed with Thomas Lane's scholarly but easily accessible ...

Architectural dictionary with content
This is one of the best architectural dictionaries that I have found. It has a number of layman terms and quite a few diagrams. It is concise, but contained all of the terms that we have come up with so far.

Mycorrhizal Symbiosis, Second Edition

Sally E. Smith, David J. Read

Academic Press, 1997

The standard reference for mycorrhizal research
This book is a standard reference in the field of mycorrhizal research. Since the field is growing rapidly, it is somewhat dated, but still excellent, especially for a life scientist trying to learn about the different types of mycorrhizae. This is a technical book, and parts of it require some knowledge of plant physiology, molecular biology, ecology, or, of course, mycology. Still, it is the ...

Saint Vincent College Center for, 1995

Comments on the author by Gary E.J. Smith
Evans is a fascinating man to listen to. He is a decorated veteran, but shuns the recognition he rightly deserves. He admits that some of his actions during the heat of combat "might have been foolhardy." Evans was not interested in medals, only in trying to keep his men alive. As Evans' Third Army Com mander, General George S. Patton remarked, "No one ever won a war by dying for his country. He ...

The Marriage of Parachurch, Church, and Denomination?
It is time to take a new and unprejudiced look at the parachurch and its relationship to church and denomination. This book makes a great contribution to this effort!

This book talks about the dramatic reshaping of the North ...

What a wonderful treat in finding this book! I have worked in the human services field for about 6 years, and this is the first book that I have found that speaks to me of the humanity and experience of an individual who was institutionalized for a majority of his life and his de-institutionalization. John's story almost exactly the same as at least a half-dozen men I have come to know in my ...

An ideal guide to the field of reliability for engineers.
This is the 5th edition of DJ Smith's excellent book on reliability in the real world. Having worked in this field for a number of years, I can honestly say that Mr. Smith has provided a perfect means of understanding the principles behind basic reliability calculations, in a way that is neither condescending nor unneccesarily complex. I recommend this book in the strongest possible terms to ...

The Practice of Silviculture: Applied Forest Ecology, 9th Edition

Wiley, 1996

A bible for university students of forestry
It is a very complete book with good explanations. However, it is written with very specialised vocabulary and looks like it has been written for university students. I would not recommend it as your first book on silviculture.
