Engineering Information Security: The Application of Systems Engineering Concepts to Achieve Information Assurance (IEEE Press Series on Information and Communication Networks Security) Review

I would say if you're looking for a definition of terminology then this is a book you might want to read. But it really lacks a comprehensive glossary and contains a few errors. It also lacks a detail vision on how to understand or use the information. Consequently, very rudimentary information security topics are discussed throughout this book which lacks practicality. Unfortunately the book didn't offer anything unique that you won't get from other online sources for free.

Product Description

An innovative and long overdue book by the world ��s leading researchers and practitioners, describing what really works in suicide prevention, the evidence for particular approaches, where the gaps are in our knowledge, and how we can fill them.

Suicide rates have increased by 60% worldwide in the past 45 years, with deaths by suicide projected to reach 1.5 million by the year 2020. Despite millions being spent on suicide prevention activities, little is known about their effectiveness: As the US Suicide Prevention Action Network (SPAN) reported, �The single greatest obstacle to the effective prevention of suicide is the lack of evaluation research. ��

Evidence-Based Practice in Suicidology Review

I have used this book as the textbook in the graduate class I teach on suicide intervention,prevention and postvention. I also used this book as a resource in writing a federal grant that we received this year. The information continued within this book is invaluable and pulls all of the seminal material in the field of suicidology together in a concise and informative manner.

The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography Review

Focal Press (i.e., the Media Technology component of Elsevier Publishing) has just published a "book" (a pristine copy of which I have been happily browsing through after it had - literally - landed on my doorstep with a loud THUD!) that has all the tell-tale signs of being a classic scholarly reference for photographers and students of photography for years to come: The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography, Fourth Edition, edited by Michael R. Peres (also available from Amazon).

The encyclopedia is a significant update of its predecessor volumes (the first edition, a classic in its time when it was published in 1956, has been long out of print and is obviously extremely dated given all of the advances in photographic science, engineering and art that have occurred since then; the third edition (edited by Richard D. Zakia and Leslie Stroebel), which I own and love, is only a decade old but has very little on the burgeoning field of digital photography; still, it contains a wealth of useful information and, though it is also out of print, is still available in some used book stores).

The new fourth edition has 880 pages in all, over 400 images, covers all major (and minor) areas of photography (ranging from photography and art / society / commerce, museums, the science of photography, galleries, workshops, education, publishing, history, theory, practice, criticism, and short biographies of selected photographers in the 20th Century), and comes with a CD-ROM that contains the entire (and fully searchable) text + images in the book (this one surprising, and most welcome, addition is worth the "price of admission" on its own).

The book is very handsomely produced, with strong, thick covers and thick, semi-glossy pages that give the volume a "classy feel" and give the overall impression that the editors designed it to be well thumbed and used, and to last a long, long while (which I pray it does since most of my photo books, particularly reference works, tend to become tattered and grow nested dog-ears in no time, as I repeatedly dive in for the shear pleasure of discovering some morsel of photographic delight).

The encyclopedia does have one unfortunate, but arguably unavoidable, drawback: it is so big and heavy that it is impossible to just "whip it out" on your lap and sink into (a flimsy chair) for some leisurely reading; you have to plan on when and where you will be reading this monster! ... and, God forbid, don't even think of taking it to an upstairs room to read in bed: if the staircase doesn't collapse from the weight before you get there, your bed surely will! ;-)

Kudos to Focal Press' editorial board for producing such a fine masterwork. It will likely become the "standard" such reference for all current and future generations of students of photography (and, I suspect, quite a few working professionals as well).

Product Description

FROM THE FOREWORD: Enter Andrew E. Steinmann� s From Abraham to Paul. It is a book which should have been written decades ago. Here’s why. Steinmann not only assumes� quite rightly� �that history matters, but he also shows two things about biblical history. First, he shows that in many cases with a little scholarly spadework we can have a pretty good idea as to when key events took place, events like the life of Abraham, the Conquest of the Promised Land, the birth of Jesus, or Paul s Second Missionary Journey. These events are not the yarn of legend: on the contrary, there is every good intellectually-compelling reason to accept them as history, history that really happened in time and space. . . . The second thing Steinmann shows about history and this is no less important� is its complexity. Some of the questions which the book takes up are thorny questions indeed, having provoked lots of black ink and fiery debate along the way. The author� s approach is never polemical, but always clear; the positions taken are not necessarily always the standard positions, but they are always defended from the evidence. Indeed, it is precisely this quality that makes the book such a delight to read. . . .

FROM ABRAHAM TO PAUL: A BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGY Review

I have read some five or six book on Biblical chronology insluding Edwin Thiele's book "The Mysterious Numbers of the Kings" (of Israel). Steinmann's book goes forward from Thiele's book with corrections to various assumptions he had made goving detailed information on the period from Abraham to Paul. I have not finished it entirely yet because I am working through the time-line, but I love this. I bought it on a whim, but am glad I did. (I would recommend anyone interested to also buy Thiele's book so you will understand more comnpletely.)

Product Description

Gabriel examines 18 ancient army systems, examining the organizational structure and weapons employed and the degree to which cultural values and imperatives shaped the form and application of military force. The tactical doctrines and specific operational capabilities of each army are analyzed to explain how certain technical limitations and societal/cultural imperatives affected the operational capabilities of ancient armies. Cross-cultural and cross-historical connections ground the analysis in the larger historical context of the ancient world.

The Great Armies of Antiquity Review

This is the third volume of a trilogy. The first two installments were "Great Battles of Antiquity" and "Great Captains of Antiquity". If the first two volumes were as good as this one, the three books constitute an excellent but expensive reference work for pre-gunpowder military history.Gabriel begins with the earliest armies of the Ancient Near East and exhaustively studies the armed forces of almost every significant military power of ancient and medieval times. He lays out the armament, logistics, organization and command structure, strategic and tactical doctrines, innovations, and political basis for each of these armies. Gabriel makes a strong case for the proposition that the only area in which we exceed our ancestors is that of technology. I was impressed by how much of what we think to be modern is of truly ancient vintage.As good as the work was, I do have a few critiques: Gabriel made extensive reference to military depictions in ancient sculpture. Weaponry was described in great detail. No photographs or other adequate illustrations of either appeared anywhere in the book. The line drawings which were included did little to enlighten the reader. The work would have benefitted greatly from the employment of a qualified proofreader. Typographical errors abounded, but they were not sufficiently egregious that the reader couldn't cipher out what the author was trying to say. As good as it was, I'm not sure the book was worth the extravagant price. The best thing that can be said for the price is that "Great Armies" is the most inexpensive volume of the trilogy.
