This is an excellent book on simulation of n-body systems. The
author gives a very good description of several techniques and
algorithms together with some theoretical background. This is
the book to have on your desk if you don't want to have a pile
of pappers and other books.

Great Book for the beginner and novice. I learned a lot from this one. It explains step by step the procedures from preparing and choosing the right grinding wheel to dressing contours. The author did a good job explaining, in an easy to understand text, what it takes from the basics to the actual grinding procedure. Well worth buying!!

I received this book as part of a training program for sterilization design. I am so impressed with the well thought schemes and ideas of Dr. Tholen and it's paramount coming from a dentist. Thank you so much for this great tool. I use it almost every day in my consultations.

This book is clear, concise, and easy to follow. Ms. Grayson has demonstrated experience in obtaining grants and using this book will increase your success rate. It has for me!!!

I like this unique book because it is a survey of the tools and technologies that support help desk operations. What makes it unique is it is, as far as I know, the only book that solely addresses this aspect of the help desk.

Prior to reading this book I depended on the internet and vendor literature to research appropriate tools to solve problems or make operations more efficient. Often I have a vague idea where to look, but no exact starting point. This book helps to do more focused searches that return accurate and meaningful results. Why do I still searches? Because some of the tools described are in a state of flux as are any product. Therefore, some of the information in the book may be obsolete, but the real value is that it points me in the right direction, and allows me to go to the vendor sites and get the most up-to-date information. The grouping of tools also allows me to extend my research into competitive comparisons. Equally important is this book also clearly explains the underlying technologies and how they can be employed and integrated into the help desk suite of tools. Another strong point is the author has grouped the tools into classes that fit a particular need, such as event management (under the heading of alerts and notification tools), call management software, etc. This is a great help.

The classes of tools were interesting and complete. I was happy to find asset management tools, and more than pleased to find tools for tier-2 and -3 support. These support layers are often ignored in more books that deal with any aspect of help desk operations, and the inclusion of them here was an expected bonus.

While the book focuses on tools and technologies, it also has some chapters that cover processes and space planning. This information is a bit out of synch with the general theme, but does provide a context for how the tools and technologies are used.

This book is invaluable to any consultant who deals with service delivery or help desk implementations because it is like a catalog of available tools and technologies that can be applied to many different aspects of help desk operations. It will also prove valuable to companies that are evaluating available technologies in preparation for launching a help desk operation, or are in the process of selecting tools or technologies with which to improve existing help desks.

I found the book to be very informative and a definite buy for those wanting protect their servers. The need to have a source to assist in securing our busness' servers is tremendous in this era of hacking. This is a must buy.
