National Commission on Terrorist Attacks
W. W. Norton & Company, 2004
9/11 Commission
An outstanding piece of scholarship; one of the most extensively researched, documented and balanced inquiry into the attacks of September 11, 2001 so far. The bipartisan panel created to answer the questions of what happened, how it could have and why, go to great lengths to assess the failures of the various agencies in the lead up to the attacks yet they fail to land a knockout blow with any ...

Cisco Voice over IP (CVOICE) (Authorized Self-Study Guide) (3rd Edition) (Self-Study Guide) 16 reviews
Kevin Wallace
Cisco Press, 2008
Great Study guide AND reference book
Well I originally bought this book to help study for the CVOICE exam. I certainly used it for that and then some. It covered all of the exam topics pretty well and for me was an easy read. I passed the exam easily. What I didnt realize was that I would use it even more after the fact for a reference. Definitely worth the money for this book.

David Hodgson, Stephen Stratton
Prima Games, 2006
An Excellent Guide
I don't have Twilight Princess, but you gotta prepare, ya know? Anyway,
this is a great guide. It will tell you EVERYTHING about the game. There is not a section specifically devoted to finding the extras, like golden bugs, but it comes with a giant map that shows you where everything is.
Besides, all you have to do is flip do the section you want to know where the stuff is, and it tells you ...

The King James Bible (with book and chapter navigation) 6 reviews
Diana Mecum DianaDoesIt.com, 2008
Fantastic Navigation Feature!
This was one of the easiest books to navigate through that I have ever seen because it emulates the hardcopy. In fact, it's better because I don't have to keep paging and paging to get to where I want to read. Instead, each chapter or individual book is just a click away. This decreases my frustration which increases my enjoyment. Thank you, it's fantastic.

Dennis Hartmann
Cisco Press, 2008
Good book to study by and reference.
As a voice consultant it is often hard to find a book that is both informative for the topic and useful during the actual work. This book succeeded on both fronts. Using this book I was able to recently pass the Cisco exam for this material. However it is far more important for me to have a book that I can use to get the work done. IP telephony has become such a complex detailed solution that ...

King James Only Controversy, The: Can You Trust the Modern Translations?106 reviews
James White
Bethany House, 1995
A great overview of the topic
This book provides well thought out answers for the issues raised by the KJO movement. It also provides ample documentation of sources, something that is solely lacking from the other side. If you want answers and not dogma read this book.

The Bible: Authorized King James Version (Oxford World's Classics)28 reviews
Oxford University Press, USA, 2008
A Good Source of English Bible History
This reviewer got this surprisingly low priced edition of the King James Bible (KJV) because of historical interest and to win a friendly wager. A young lady who is Protestant and this reviewer discussed the KJV, and we agreed that based on the Epistle Dedacatory,dedicated to King James I of England (1603-1625), that the KJV was an anti-Catholic Bible. However, she disagreed that the original KJV ...

Clarification
This is for those of you who may think that the Bible is complete, It is not, which is pointed out in the Bible in the Bible Dictionary under the topic of the Lost Books. "...The forgoing items attest to the fact that our present Bible does not contain all of the word of the Lord that he gave to his people in former times, and remind us that the Bible, in its present form is rather ...

Diane Teare
Cisco Press, 2007
Great for Professionals Wanting to Break Into Design Field
Diane Teare does a great job of providing necessary information and case studies to a networking professional wanting to get into the network design field. This is an associate level certification and thusly the information provided is spoon-fed to what is considered a design associate or below design associate-level person with a CCNA certification. The information is a bit wordy, but I think it ...

Used this book to pass the BSCI 642-901 Exam
Pretty concise and detailed, enough information in the book to pass the exam.
The lack of a CD is a big disadvantage for this book.

Mandela: The Authorized Biography6 reviews
Anthony Sampson
Vintage, 2000
A well-told education in character and leadership.
If you believe there are no modern heroes - that fortitude and unselfish judgement in the face of adversity are out-of-date virtues, you need to read this book. That Sampson shows the whole man so well (with admittedly a few frailities) adds depth to the tremendous courage, excellent judgement, and magnanimity Mandela demonstrated his entire life, even when the cause of the ANC he led seemed ...

Breathtaking
It has been a while since I read a book in one sitting. It has also been a while since I first read "The Great Gatsby". Since then, I read articles and saw movies about F. Scott Fotzgerald and his wife Zelda. It is hard not to draw some similarities between Fitzgerald's best work and the way his own life ended. Without going thru the plot, this is all american story about difference between ...

Beatrix Potter Complete Tales: The 23 Original Peter Rabbit Books; Original & Authorized Edition23 reviews
Beatrix Potter
Warne, 1989
Meet Peter Rabbit and His Friends
It could be that more people know ABOUT the stories of Beatrix Potter (1866-1943)than actually know them. Peter Rabbit is certainly well known, and all the stories tend to get lumped into the category of toddler tales. Not so! Most of them are for children a little older, who can perhaps even read them themselves as well as enjoy being read to. There are a couple of true picture books for the ...
