Cables Books

This book covers all the fundamentals of fiber and fiber cable technology. The intended audience appears to be engineers at fiber and cable manufacturing plants. Most fiber books focus on end-users of fiber or designers of fiber electronics; I am not aware of any others written for this particular audience.

Peter Goessing has a long career in fiber cable engineering at both Siecor (now part of Corning) in the US and Siemens in Germany.

Readers who just want to learn more about installing fiber cable in the field or designing a building fiber network would probably be better off with one of the books by Hayes or Pearson that are oriented more towards end-users.

The seller was very prompt in sending the shipment right after payment. I would order from them again.

Thank you

As a News Director at a top TV market, it is crucial I provide sound advise to my young reporters about their responsibilities and liabilities when pursuing a story. The First Ammendment and the Fith Estate should be requiered reading for all young journalists (and even some older journalists could refresh their knowledge with this book). I look forward to the next edition as we face a whole new world with Cybernews and DTV.

Together with its Lab Guide and Journal and excellent grounding in structured cabling. Recommended.

Cable was a Southern writer, born in New Orleans and a Confederate soldier, best known today (if known at all) for his local color stories about the Creoles of Louisiana and the novel THE GRANDISSIMES, about two feuding Creole families around the time of the Louisiana Purchase. Cable was also a reformer, especially for prison reforms and equal treatment of blacks in the South; this latter view, made public in books such as THE SILENT SOUTH (1885), caused much outrage in the South. He believed that the separation of the races and especially the desire in the South to keep blacks "beneath" whites in all things was damaging to both races. Cable was also a very religious man and was very active in the church. Despite his popularity as an author and lecturer (he toured successfully with Mark Twain), Cable was often in debt, living on advances for his writing. Turner relates Cable's trials and tribulations, and his successes, very well in this biography. He writes well, never allowing his research to get in the way of his commanding style. Later in his career Cable wished to write stories that "make you feel today that you are enterained, and find tomorrow that you are profited." Turner's biography does just that. Highly recommended.

This is a good book for those who are thinking about getting into the film or television industry. Lots of job descriptions and advice.

The best thing about Golden Cables of Sympathy is that it introduces many more questions than it answers. The real historians who'll review this book will praise its scope (75 years, dozens of countries and the works of hundreds of women), its research (McFadden visited libraries on three continents, and even went so far as to search an Irish courthouse to uncover the death certificate of Anna Doyle Wheeler, whose date of death had been lost), and its indisputable place in women's history. But I more appreciate the fact that Golden Cables of Sympathy will open doors for many college students. Undergraduate history majors and master's candidates will find a hundred topics that beg for further research and analysis. Golden Cables of Sympathy treats many of the "stars" of women's history (George Sand, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Fuller, Harriet Martineau and others), but students will profit more from learning for the first time about Ernestine Rose, Phoebe Palmer, Anna Knight and more who were absolutely part of the developing women's movement; they influenced, assisted, argued with, changed and were changed by those with more familiar names. McFadden's book (and the depth of her research), will surely generate more discovery, and her research lays the groundwork for a generation of great student work. Read this book for pleasure, but read first for inspiration.

A wonderful story that captures the time and truth of the era. The best part is - it was entertaining to the end.

one of my favorite freddy albums. there are no words to express the tune black maybe- the colors in this are soulwrenching, please release this in cd

Welcome to the Hollywood that your teachers, parents, and the media never told you about. It wasn't that these influential propagators of information didn't want to keep this information a secret from you: they simply didn't know any better. Janet Wasko takes readers on a journey through the history of the business side of Hollywood--who owns what, which companies are in bed with one another and how those hegemonic relationships influence which programs and information make it past these media "gatekeepers" into the mainstream. Be prepared to have your eyebrows raised and your jaw dropped when Wasko reveals the intricate relationships maintained between media outlets (such as Disney and ABC) that play up on their rivalry in public, but are partners on the sidelines. The title of this book does it no justice: this book is chock-full of information and is a must-read for media, journalism and film students and those interested in critical history.
