Microbe: Are We Ready for the Next Plague?19 reviews
Alan Zelicoff, Michael Bellomo
AMACOM, 2005
Especially interesting for general reader
This book is well written and very interesting. It deals with serious shortcomings in how we handle plague situations, yet it is not alarmist--the problems are serious but not exaggerated, the solutions practical and within our reach.
I also enjoyed the backgrounders on diseases I've heard of but never really knew much about--like Legionnaire's disease; I remember when it was heavily covered ...

eBay Your Business 3 reviews
Janelle Elms, Michael Bellomo, ...
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2004
Good Blueprint for Success
This book is very hands-on and covers all the aspects of selling on eBay if you're a business as opposed to a hobbyist. The 'launch, test, and refine' model is key along with the tips on researching other sellers and their pricing strategies. This book plus another title like Unleashing the Power of eBay gives a good jump on the competition.

The Stem Cell Divide: The Facts, the Fiction, and the Fear Driving the Greatest Scientific, Political, and ... 7 reviews
Michael Bellomo
AMACOM, 2006
Reposted from the Book Review section of Sciencereport-dot-net
The review below can be found at the ScienceReport-dot-net website.
Human stem cell research is a major hot button topic that divides the conservative and scientific communities. Religious conservatives see it as tampering with nature and even playing God. Scientists, on the other hand, see the potential to treat many of the life threatening diseases of our times - from heart disease and ...

The BEST and FASTEST way to learn LINUX

The book also includes two CD ROM's with RedHat Linux, rpm's (to get you started fast), and documentation. This book is primarily suitable for novice Linux users, who will find they can get up to ...

A Stand Up Guy9 reviews
Michael Calomino, Daniel Bellomo
PublishAmerica, 2005
"A Stand Up Guy" is FABULOUS!
Though not usually a fan of this genre, I read this book on a recommendation and could not put it down. Brilliantly penned in the first person, "A Stand Up Guy" offers a perspective seldom seen in the blight of glamorized organized crime epics that pollute the cinematic landscape. Instead, this poignant tale of a mobster called upon to kill his best friend is both tragic and enlightening... with ...

Amp Your MySpace Page2 reviews
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007
A great tutorial to get the reader acquainted with building Web pages and Web sites!
I liked this book a lot. When I first pulled it from the bookstore shelf I thought it would be more involved. I thought it would be more like a treatise on the ins and outs of MySpace and how to customize a MySpace profile. It has 16 chapters and an appendix dealing primarily with HTML coding:
1. The basics of updating your profile
2. Using HTML to enhance your page
3. Using CSS to change ...

LINUX Administration for Dummies 7 reviews
Michael Bellomo, Dummies Technology Press
For Dummies, 1999
Great for starting out in LINUX Administration
The power of Linux is in the command line interface. Linux Administrators need to know this stuff. Bellomo's book is clearly written with excellent use of various fonts. The topics seem to leap from the pages in concise language. This is NOT a good book for advanced Linux or Unix users, but it's a great reference for those who want to quickly master the subject and have computer savy. The ...

Network and System Integration for Dummies (With CD-ROM)1 review
Michael Bellomo, James Marchetti
For Dummies, 2000
Not Much Meat
Depending on what you are looking for, this book could be highly useful or not at all. For giving an overview of all of the various things that exist in the integration world, it would probably be quite good. But in terms of actually teaching one how to accomplish any real-world tasks, it is lacking a lot of basic information.
As an example, it might present all of the various hardware (hubs, ...

For Dummies, 2000
Quite a helpful read
Compared to Microsoft's documentation, this was great---a lot more straightforward. (Microsoft could do a lot for their image if they'd produce user guides of this quality instead of the garbage they generally put out.) The printer coverage was particularly helpful. It also made a BIG difference in my understanding of the variations in features and capabilities between the multiple "flavors" ...

LSAT Exam Cram (Exam Cram 2)6 reviews
Michael Bellomo
Pearson Education, 2005
Great capstone to your LSAT review
If anything, I found many questions in this book to be *harder* than what I saw on the LSAT (I took it earlier this year). I think that this is best used after you've purchased some old LSATs and gotten into the rhythm of practicing the questions. Other than that, good guide and worth the price.
