Comprehensive; Meticulous; In Depth; and Worth It.
As a computing architect/engineer, I have cover-to-cover read many books
over my career. Part of my job is also to write detailed step-by-step
technical documentation for work I have done. With that as preamble, I'd
like to say that this book is extremely well written. You can tell
the author endeavored to give the complete story of the VI3 suite without

Good place to start your study for the 70-297
Overall this book is a good place to start your 70-297 study. When I study for exams I us a combination of book study and practice tests such as the readiness review CD included with this title. My personal favorite testing software for Microsoft exams is the SelfTest Software products (who also writes the offical Microsoft testing materials). Based on my current experience with the 70-297 ...

Wild Ride: The Rise and Fall of Calumet Farm Inc., America's Premier Racing Dynasty21 reviews
Ann Hagedorn Auerbach
Holt Paperbacks, 1995
Ripping The Veneer Off The Sport Of Kings
I vividly remember the reports in the sports section concerning the death of Alydar and then the financial collapse of Calumet Farm. Little did I know then that it was as criminal as anything found on the front page of a major daily.
Ann Hagedorn Auerbach does an outstanding job of piecing together the jagged financial picture of the crumbled puzzle pieces left by J.T. Lundy. The book also ...

Thats cool because in that way you practice like in the enterprise enviroment. The exercises are ...

Make mine Black Cherry Almond
This is an excellent, interesting little read that I gave to my uncle for his birthday. He is a hiker and mountain bike rider as well as a traveler so the story of Clif Bars is right up is alley. However, I am a non-outdoorsy, non-sporty non-traveler and I really found it enthralling. Once I had given it to my uncle, my brother needed a copy and several friends gave me the old "Where did you get ...

Scholarship in the Digital Age: Information, Infrastructure, and the Internet1 review
Christine L. Borgman
The MIT Press, 2007
Seminal Work, Broad Overview, Provocative on All Fronts
FINAL REVIEW 22 June 2008
This is not a technical book, it focuses more on the socio-political aspects of how knowledge is communicated among scholars. While it addresses fraud, it does not address the ideological war against science, high crimes and misdemeanors including deliberate lies to the public, or the nuances of "fog facts" and "lost history."
The author brings to this effort past ...

Swoosh: Unauthorized Story of Nike and the Men Who Played There, The5 reviews
J. B. Strasser
Collins, 1993
Incredibly Riveting Narrative
Nike's story is one of the most fascinating in business, especially for those of us that grew up in Nike's prime. The authors did an incredible job of storytelling, starting with a young Phil Knight and his MBA thesis all the way to the early 90's... Lots of inside "dirt" but hardly a gossipy work. You will be amazed at the inner workings of this company.
