The layout of the book is very helpful. The chapter's are full of information and at the end ask a few questions. Gives great explanations instead of just a book full of questions. This book went over information that was very helpful and that I had not covered during my radiology classes. After taking the pre-Rad exams, I was glad I had read the book.

I really never understood TCP/IP until I read Randall Raus' book, Computer Networks. I didn't really "get" the Internet, especially the interface layer, before reading this book. I recommend it highly to anyone who would like a clear, theoretical explanation of networking and the Internet.

Computer Networks Super Review by Randall Raus is packed with solid information. It explains the highly technical concepts of computer networking in clear, easy to understand language, and covers hot technologies such as DSL and transmission over fiber-optic. Unlike many other texts on networking, it doesn't move to quickly or bore the reader with needless repetition. It is also well organized and has many useful diagrams and tables to help the reader grasp complex concepts. Microsoft Press could learn a few things from this author! A must for the serious student of networking! Victor Roszell, MCSE, BA English.

The benefit for an understanding of musical politics, for standards of performance, for audience civility and for musicology in general, has been incalculable, and it is hard to see how existing standards in any of these fields can be maintained, much less improved without continuous and patient prodding and the occasional outpouring of bile from such a source. Let music lovers, makers,administrators and editors, all please take note! " Concert Life in Puerto Rico" is therefore valuable for use and imporvement but also for pleasure. Who can resist a book that contains cracks like, "the orchestra sounded like a faulty zipper," or that compares the first act of Tosca to La Boheme played backwards?!

This book was a great supplement for final exam study I wish I had purchased it earlier in the year, prior to my mid-term exams. It really clarifies the information we were required to read in our textbook. I would recommend to all friends.

This is an excellent supplement for con-law. He breaks things down very well and helps you remain orgainzed. I highly recommend it.

Thanks Professor Prygoski!

This is the only professionally written, highly analytic, examination of the greatest documentary film of old times, Dziga Vertov's "The Man With the Movie Camera," which includes a formal analysis of virtually every shot, simultaneously represented with the respective frame enlargement.

This is an excllent title for degree level students studying film, art or european history. I found this an extremely rewarding analysis of Vertov's work and working practice. Petric writes in a way that is academic but also easily understandable for the lay. Petric does not just an analysis 'The Man With The Movie Camera' he also looks in depth at the political and artistic conditions that gave rise to constructivism.

Film studies students often drop the name; Dziga Vertov without actually knowing anything about the man or his work and this book is an excellent way to learn more.

Good explainations. Good case summaries. Contains Case "Squibbs" in the back - case summaries of major K cases - along with a de minimis and de maximus outline. Also, there are good review questions and tips for what to do when you've only got so much time to study.

I used this with the Examples & Explanations by Blum. This is an excellent study guide - very concise - though "big" in size.

Archibald Cox, Nixon's nemesis, explains the history of the Supreme Court and its consitutional interpretations. Read this book and discard simplisitic notions about liberal 'activist' judges. Perhaps the most activist judges in US history were the conservatives that frustrated Roosevelt's New Deal legislation. Was John Marshall an 'activist' when he asserted the right and duty of the Supreme Court to 'say what the law is' in Marbury v. Madison? That case established the rule of law as much as any other single act in Anglo-American legal history.

Most lawyers probably need to read this book (I am one), but it is very accessible to the lay reader as well.

I read this book for a class on American Government; it is extremely interesting and well-written. I enjoyed it immensely.

Two decades ago, I passed the Uniform CPA Examination. The Gleim volume
was one of several review references which aided in understanding the
material. The CPA Exam is a unique creature. It requires that the material
be understood fairly comprehensively. Being familiar with the material
is not enough. A good review text helps to structure the material so that
problem solving is a much simpler task. The Gleim text has a minimum of
complexity yet it focuses on the essential elements requisite to solving
simple to intermediate level problems. The CPA exam rarely tests beyond
Intermediate Accounting in any big way. A beauty of this acquisition is that it can help you learn the material initially and prepare for the CPA exam later. Gleim's presentation is not cluttered with a lot of verbiage.
The lettering is well-spaced with many helpful diagrams and "canned"
schedules so that you can literally "drop the numbers in place" .
The acquisition would be very helpful in studying the material for the
first time or reviewing it just prior to taking the CPA Exam.

This is a great source of problems to study through for the CPA exam. It's tough to find though. The entire series is good.

For all my standardized tests, I have always used the Princeton Review, and they really help. I got a 34 on the ACT in April 2005, and I think I can attribute it to the book. Get it, if you're planning to take the ACT.

My son used this book and within 6 months increased his ACT score 5 points. He worked 20 minutes a day and he said it reallly helped him be more prepared.

Really helped prepare for the AP exam. The practice tests are key. They really get you a good feel for the exam. Princeton Review does a great job.

This book will easily get anyone who really understands it a 5 on the exam, especially if you can score well on the practice tests in the back. It's better for review, rather than learning. If you want an AP book that you can learn from, I suggest using 5 Steps to a 5. I never really understood electromagnetic induction or nuclear physics from my textbook, and this book was even worse for that, but 5 Steps to a 5 cleared up all my issues with those topics in about an hour. I think that this book is way better for review, though, mostly because the questions they ask at the end of each chapter are better and help your understanding of the concepts.

Don't be discouraged if you don't score well on the practice tests in the back, because the actual AP exam is much more conceptual and less calculation-based. But if you can do the Princeton Review tests, you'll have no problem with the real one. It's not overly difficult though, so don't let that discourage you from buying it.

Overall, this definitely gets a 5/5 for its explanations and for being so concise and on target regarding information the exam will test you on.
