TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 2: The Implementation (Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series)

18 reviews
Gary R. Wright, W. Richard Stevens

Addison-Wesley Professional, 1995

Bible for TCP/IP
This is a bible, sliced into 3 neat pieces to explain and demonstrate everything related to TCP/IP right from the 0's and 1's in the packet. It is something like a must have set of books for someone who really wants to know the basics of networking right from its foundations.

Biology Through the Eyes of Faith (Christian College Coalition Series)

6 reviews
Richard Wright

HarperOne, 1989

An excellent and very unbiased view.
Unlike someone else from Abilene, TX, I found this book to be excellent, and so did all the other people I talked with who read this book for a discussion class. Bias to me is only presenting one view and igoring all the others, which is not what Wright has done. Having investigated thoroughly, he has an opinion, which he presents calmly and respectfully. Wright's intended audience is ...

Harper Perennial, 2008

Long for the conclusion
Amazing work. I only wish there would have been a conclusion. It has prompted me to read other works by Richard Wright. I knew going in I would be left hanging because it was an unfinished work but after a few pages I didn't care. I threw causion to the wind and fell head first in love with the story.

Environmental Science: Toward A Sustainable Future (10th Edition)

9 reviews
Richard T. Wright

Prentice Hall, 2007

A Classic of the Genre
Dr. Wright's text has really become a classic of the environmental science field for good reason: it elucidates the basic principles of environmental science with depth and readability. This tome is not in its 10th edition because it lacks merit. On the contrary, this text presents the relevant topics in a more organized and rigorous manner than any other on the shelf. Students gain a ...

Addison-Wesley Professional, 2007

Best OpenGL book out there for beginners and experienced alike
This book has three great uses: as a learning tool for beginners, as an update for intermediates, and as a reference for experts. All groups can be benefited from this book. With regards to the first, this book provides a much more natural progression between the topics when read front to back. Also, it does not assume a lot of mathematical knowledge, and it will provide some of it as it goes ...

Mississippi God Damn
Every time I read a book about the plight of blacks in the South in the early part of the 20th century as Jim Crow society solidified I have to shutter in disgust. I have just finished reading communist Harry Haywood's autobiography Black Bolshevik. I have read Malcolm X's words on the fate of his forebears in the post-bellum South and now I have read Richard Wright's autobiographical sketch ...

Richard Wright

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2005

Unnerving
As many reviews document, some readers like this book while other dislike it. The reality of the situation may not be whether one likes the book so much as whether the book has the ability to disturb you. It is tough to like the main character. Yet most will have trouble identifying with the rich class that manipulates the system and Bigger's life. The story may be best described as ...

Rite of Passage

Rite Of Passage
I thought that this was an excellent book. I loved the fact that this was taken place in the ghettos of New York. I also loved the excitement it builded up in me. I couldn't take my hands off of the book. The only one thing that I didn't like was the ending. I didn't like it because I was hoping for him to go back with his family.

The Best Short Stories by Black Writers, 1899-1967: The Classic Anthology

3 reviews
James Baldwin, Gwendolyn Brooks, ...

Back Bay Books, 1969

"The Best Short Stories by Black Writers" is a #1 classic!
This book is an excellent example of reality. In each short story, there is some kind of relivance of growing up in a nation filled with crime, love, kindenss, hardships, and friendships. The writers express themselves so wonderfully, vivid pictures of the events are played in my head. It keeps middle-school children very attentive, mainly because they can easily relate to the troubles of ...

Dream Me Home Safely: Writers on Growing Up in America

Mariner Books, 2003

In the title essay of this extraordinary keepsake of childhood in America, John Edgar Wideman pays fierce tribute to a complex mother who "used to dream me home safely by sitting up and waiting for me to stumble in." The young writer Bich Minh Nguyen remembers arriving in Michigan from Vietnam in 1975 and a classmate who said, "Your house smells funny," and Michael Parker recalls a sister's vivid -- and hilarious -- act of defiance on a ...

Uncle Tom's Children (P.S.)

3 reviews
Richard Wright

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2008

racism stripped naked
Uncle Tom's Children is probably one of the most brutal books ever written on the topic of racism and racial oppression. The stories sneak their way into the far back of the reader's mind, and forces one to confront the racism latent within oneself. That is by no means a small feat for a book to accomplish, and it makes the reading both painful and powerful, sa well as infinitely rewarding. ...

The God That Failed

Columbia University Press, 2001

Reflections on the destructive nature of Leninism and Stalinism
The famous collection "The God that Failed" contains reflections by three famous writers/activists who were members of the Communist Party in their nation (Koestler, Silone and Wright), and three who were, at least in the view of some, fellow travellers (Gide, Fischer, Spender). Each of them explains in short anecdotal style, mixed with philosophical and political musings, how they came to be an ...

Provocative Survey
The catalogue that accompanies the Drawing Now exhibition held at the Museum of Modern Art is just as well thought and carefully crafted. The show is divided into eight themes that bring a solid foundation to a wide scope of works. Each section in the catalogue begins with an insightful essay further developing the rich ideas behind the show. The beautiful illustrations and large format of the ...

Black Boy (P.S.)
Richard Wright

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2008

Richard Wright grew up in the woods of Mississippi, with poverty, hunger, fear, and hatred. He lied, stole, and raged at those around him; at six he was a "drunkard," hanging about taverns. Surly, brutal, cold, suspicious, and self-pitying, he was surrounded on one side by whites who were either indifferent to him, pitying, or cruel, and on the other by blacks who resented anyone trying to rise above the common lot. Black Boy is Richard ...

Nobody Knows My Name Is Timeless
For my humanities class I was instructed to read an autobiography of my choice. Through shuffling through the library for an autobiography that I can actually read and appreciate I stumbled across this great James Baldwin title. Nobody Knows My Name is a collection of his writing while he was self exiled in Europe. I opened the book with excitment and urgency. As the words regestired in my head I ...

Richard Wright : Early Works : Lawd Today! / Uncle Tom's Children / Native Son (Library of America)

1 review
Richard Wright

Library of America, 1991

Fascinating, Stimulating, Brutally Honest Writing
The Library of America consistently produces wonderful volumes, and Richard Wright's "Early Works" is a strong member of the set. As I worked my way through this volume, I found myself re-thinking questions I have put aside for a while, challenging attitudes that I have acquired as part of our zeitgeist. I did not find that much of interest in "Lawd Today!" and "Uncle Tom's Children," the ...
