Excellent Resource for Exchange 2003.......2006-02-24
I like this book because it is easy to read and it is clear. Of course, you will enjoy better this book with prior exchange experience or training. Microsoft has done a great job on their Exchange 2003 class. Combine the two and you will get a good start on Exchange installation, maintenance, and architecture.
Best exchange book I ever bought. Possibly best computer book. I can't say enough........2005-08-03
This book basically has every answer to every question you've had about exchange. It also has tons of scripts with detailed explanations on the cd, as well as .vsd templates for troubleshooting, upgrade senario docs, and tons of other useful material. I've been consulting for 5+ years, mcsex2, etc. As far as windows, or exchange books from ANY publisher, its the best i've ever read, or even heard about.
The Only MS Exchange 2003 Book you need.......2005-08-03
This book is packed with everything you need to know about Exchange 2003 to attain a very advanced understanding of the product. It includes information on designing the environment, managing, opimizing and troubleshooting (including disaster recovery planning and methods). It has all of the material you need to know to pass exams 070-284 and 285 for MCSA/E: Messaging credential, so you don't need to buy any other books! The CD ROM has the ebook format plus tools and resources that you can use on the job. I have around 60 MS Press books in my library, and this is easilly one of the very best written as well as more useful.

The Spirit of Haida Gwaii: Bill Reid's Masterpiece
ASIN: 029598080X |
Book Description
When Haida sculptor Bill Reid died in 1998, he was more widely and more fervently admired than any other Native American artist. Reid attained his greatest fame in the visual arts, but words were his first professional medium. He made his living as a radio announcer and script writer until he received his first large carving commission, in 1958. Indeed, one of his several Haida names was Kihlguulins, "the one with the beautiful voice." His oratorical and literary gifts are rightly part of the Reid legend.
Despite that gift for words, much of what he wrote was published only in the fugitive domain of newspapers, magazines, and exhibition catalogues. Other works were broadcast or recorded as the voice-tracks of documentary films but never printed. Still others have waited until now to be released in any form.
This book collects, for the first time, the most important of these widely scattered writings: seminal statements on the art of the Northwest Coast, on the role of the Native American artist in a multicultural world, and on the quintessential role of both the artist and the environment in the survival of human culture.

Give me a break !!.......2007-09-05
All too often these days the conspiracy buffs are pimple faced kids. They were not there, did not see the events, and for sure they know NOTHING about physics, aviation, space, nor ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT HISTORY.
This book is a waste of your money. Instead, watch a historical video of any Apollo mission, and you might begin to understand.
Clueless in Tranquility.......2007-07-09
This is one of the most poorly organized books I have ever read. That said, Kaysing was a brave man to publish his hunch and then challenge Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin to a live televised debate. Aldrin initially accepted but as showtime approached he declined.
Kaysing makes two good points (mixed in with irrelevancies and errors):
1. Kaysing was a NASA engineer participating in development of the descent stage rocketry used to permit the Apollo lunar module to touch down safely on the lunar surface. Based on his knowledge of the rocketry's performance characteristics and thrust, Kaysing claims that it would have left a huge crater beneath the lunar module on touchdown. No such crater is ever visible in any Apollo photo.
2. In films from the moon, we never see the astronauts emerging from the lunar module (LEM). Kaysing asserts that the door of the LEM is too small to permit an astronaut wearing the bulky Apollo spacesuit to enter or leave. This is curious if you happen to visit the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Buzz Aldrin's Apollo spacesuit and an Apollo lunar module are on display. Kaysing appears right - that door seems snug. Additionally, the space-suited Apollo mannikins descending the ladder of the LEM are midget-sized (the space suits themselves are under five feet tall). And, oddly, nearly all the spacesuits on display around the LEM are under five feet tall.
Curiously, UK physicist Dr David Groves et alia have discovered serious anomalies in the Apollo pictures that indicate (at least some of) those pictures could not possibly have been taken on the Moon. That is, Kaysing's lunar hoax hunch is now being scientifically supported - to some degree - by digital image analysis.
Kaysing's premise mirrors that of the 1978 film Capricorn One - that the Apollo program started off in good faith but found itself unable to "make it" so it "faked it", with US government complicity, because the ultimate goal was the militarization of space.
The lunar hoax discussion is fascinating (albeit moot) for several reasons:
1. As with some other urban legends, there are just enough oddities to give you pause.
2. Five hundred years ago the Ptolemaic view of the solar system was accepted by everyone, although science indicated something was amiss. (In good science, if there is even one exception to your theory then your theory is disproven.) We now see the curious spectacle of Apollo proponents arguing from faith while Apollo critics argue from facts. While facts are notoriously impartial things, they are appearing to side - to some degree - with the critics.
3. The whole discussion has emotional valences clouding the issue because we are dealing with a modern myth (true or not): "We landed on the moon". To accept that the US may have carried out an elaborate hoax to justify funding for the militarization of space requires a paradigm shift, much like David Ray Griffin argues regarding mass acceptance of the official account of the events of 911, (which account also does not appear to have successfully persuaded the facts to take its side).
Kaysing's book-pastiche is of value primarily as the seminal work on this topic.
Who was Zooming and who was Mooning who?.......2007-01-08
Kaysing claims that monetary greed was the main motive for the alledged moon landing hoax.If the CIA has an infinite money supply from the federal reserve,why would they steal and swindle it? Fifty percent of Mr.Kaysing's theories have been refuted and the other fifty percent are deemed 'undetermined and unexplained still'.-I'm waiting for a book about the Zodiac planning the whole 'Moon Landing Hoax'.Now,that would be a 'best-seller' for all-time.
Updated:26.July.07.:Let's see here.Drunk astronauts all gassed up,vandalised cut-wires inside the shuttle,and jilted astro-lovers wearing space-nappies.It may be a while before the next moon landing,i guess.
Kaysing - a Pioneer in Exposing NASA Fraud.......2006-07-19
Bill Kaysing, now deceased, deserves a lot of credit for being brave enough to expose one of the biggest hoaxes of our lifetime. People want to believe we actually went to the Moon. They, also, at one time, believed in Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy!
After nearly 40 years we should have a Wal-Mart Super Center on the moon to serve the population living there. However, all we can do now is klutz around earth orbit in low-bidder junk that can't launch without pieces falling off!
Read this book and wake up or keep on dreaming - the choice is yours.
Faulty Premise(s).......2006-04-23
The gist of Kaysing's pamphlet (as near I can make out - the writing style is not exactly fluid) is that NASA was under enormous pressure to produce a successful moon-shot before the Soviets. What Kaysing didn't know (no doubt due to his complete and utter lack of research) is that the Soviet moon program was dead and buried long before 1969 - and pretty much everyone at NASA and the CIA already knew that.
The Saturn V rocket was powered by a 1st stage module which consisted of 5 J-2 engines. (If you've ever been to KSC, you'll know how big these engines are. You could, quite literally, park a car inside a J-2 engine.) The Soviets, in their haste, made a crucial design error in their moon-rocket - the N1 (technically, the N1-L3). They built the first stage with 30 NK-33 engines (yup - that's *thirty* engines). They then discovered what the Americans already knew - controlling the thrust of multiple engines was difficult, but without even thrust from all engines, the rocket would be unstable, and would never fly. NASA had enough trouble working out a control system for 5 engines - the Soviets never had a chance of controlling thirty engines simultaneously. The technology to do so simply did not exist. The N1 program suffered a series of catastrophic failures during the mid to late 60's.
About a month before the Apollo 11 launch, seismic detectors all over Europe picked up a massive detonation originating in Russia. CIA spy planes later imaged the Baikonur launch complex, only to discover that the complex was almost completely destroyed.
Decades later, the Soviets admitted what the CIA already knew - the N1 had exploded on the launch pad, with massive loss of life. The Baikonur plant had to be abandoned - along with the N1 program.
NASA had all the time in the world to get the Apollo program safely off the ground - there was no longer any pressure to take shortcuts. The moon race was over long before Apollo 11 lifted off from KSC, and took its crew safely to the Moon.

A tiny book full of great tales!.......2006-06-04
Ten delightful stories, not just of the Raven, but also of the First Men, Bear Mother, Mouse Woman and other early tales from the times of myth. The stories are full of humor, love, speaking animals and bawdy scenes of lust. Boy, does the Raven get into trouble. This version of the book is a tiny, pocket size, edition. Great for carrying on a bus, car, train, plane, and so on.
A Haida legend primer.......2001-08-30
I brought this book on a trip to Vancouver and Victoria and read it in the evenings after returning to my hotels. As a European American, I found it indispensable to understanding much of the art I saw on vacation (especially Totem Poles). This book relates many of the best known Haida stories, including those of the noble, tragic Bear; the intrepid, versatile human fisherman-hunter Nanasigmit and above all the amoral but always fascinating Raven. Almost all the stories are simple, yet strike a deep chord. Add this to "Looking at Totem Poles" and "Kwakuitl Legends", both also reasonably priced, and you'll be well on your way to understanding the basics of First Nations culture.
The Raven Steals the Light.......2000-03-31
I grew up in the pacific north-west and experienced many of these stories as a child. This was a wonderful book to bring back most of those memories. It is well written. Simple yet engaging. Once I started I couldn't put it down. I've since used it as a teaching resourse in social studies and will be ordering other copies for fellow teachers I've shown it to and were equally impressed. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in native legends or mythology.
Book Description
"Hello, friend."
Children love to learn and are always figuring things out about themselves and the world around them. And the more they know, the better equipped they are to handle the challenges of growing up.
Little Bill encourages children to value their family and friends, to feel good about themselves, and to learn to solve problems creatively.
I hope young readers will see Little Bill as their friend and enjoy his real-life adventures.

A photo memoir of Anne Franks' life.......2006-09-21
A nice little book about the life of a 16 year old girl killed by the Nazis. Despite the fact that Anne was persecuted and made to live in horrible conditions, she still maintained her humanity. Her killers however lost their humanity. This was a sad tale of a teenage girl living a life she should not have had to live.
I learned a lot from this book. I have scanned her diary, but have not read it completely. This book is a great addition, because it gives you a summary history plus lots of photos on the life of Anne Frank.
A Great Resource For Learning A bout The Holocaust.......2006-05-12
I am in Sixth Grade and when my teacher started talking about some day in March and when she asked us "does anybody know what today is" only the war-historian in our class knew. It was holocaust remberance day...and I had no idea! We started this book and I started learning all these new things about the holocaust, what it was and how horribile it was. If you have the guts to read a 100% true book about the holocaust, then this is A GREAT BUY! BUY THIS FOR YOURSELF OR AS A TEACHING RESOURCE...IT'S GREAT!!!
Anne Frank the Diary of a Young Girl.......2005-12-20
I rated this book a five because while you read it makes you relize that you are so lucky you weren't born in those very tragic times.It made me think about how easy I, and others have it.I love this book because it teaches me about other peoples lives and how hard it was for them.I also think that it was well written and easy to understand.I'm not positive that you will like this book because of how sad and frightning the tale is, but if you are anything like me you will have your face stuck in a book 'till your done.
