Web of conspiracy: a guide to conspiracy theory sites on the internet
Helpful Votes: 2 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2008-06-27
This book is quite insightful. It gives all points of view on the various conspiracy theories with which it deals and there is lots of information which I had never heard before as well as some lesser known conspiracy theories. Really fascinating! Since there are so many more conspiracy theories around, perhaps a volume 2 of Web of Conspiracy?

A terrific, essential reference

The internet has become a platform for millions around the world to say their piece on world events. "Web of Conspiracy: A Guide to Conspiracy Theory Sites on the Internet" is a guide to finding proper conspiracy discussion websites throughout the internet. The guide tries to siphon out the completely insane theories throughout and promotes websites that give solid knowledge and evidence for their claims, including sites that seek to debunk the conspiracies. "Web of Conspiracy" is a must for anyone who fervently seeks truth in many of the world's mysteries.

As a horticulturist who is always looking for the unusual and hard to find plant, I found this guide to be an treasure. The authors divide the nurseries down by geographical sections, and then break each nursery down into whether they are wholesale/retail/mail order, plant specialties, brief history/description, how to get there and general information. Also covered are Horticultural Attractions and a list of plant societies. If your a plant nut like me, make sure you add this book to your collection.

Active Directory is without a doubt the most important part of Windows 2000 and this book -- written entirely based upon the release version of Windows 2000 (not based on the betas) -- is a comprehensive introduction and reference to this important technology.

Building from the ground up, it combines step-by-step instructions to do complex tasks instead of dismissively telling you that you should do X (where X is undocumented elsewhere) and also teaches basic VBScript and integrates scripting solutions alongside point-and-click and command line methods.

The topics covered range from understanding and installing Active Directory through all the constituent parts to Group Policy, other Intellimirror technologies and advanced topics such as troubleshooting, interoperability and design issues.

I hope you enjoy the book.

This book is excellent

I have gone over several books on AD but this is the only one that provided me in depth information. This is not a book for the very beginners of Active Directory but is a book that needs to read.

Excellent survey of web sites dealing with sexuality.
Helpful Votes: 18 out of 18 total.
Review Date: 1999-03-05
"The Woman's Guide to Sex on the Web" is a wonderful guidebook for those seeking sexual information and enhancement of their sex lives through the web. Well-researched, clear, and very readable, the book dismisses the sleazy pay-first come-ons that appeal only to men whose brains are encircled by their coronal ridge. My only complaint is its exclusionary title. This book is not just for women; it is for all people who see sex as a coming together of equals for mutual pleasure and celebration. In the often tawdry environment of web sex, this reasonable book is a breath of fresh air.

it's about time!

Finally, a publisher wise enough to realize that women ARE TOO interested in sex! And they found the perfect authors, with an appealing, down-to-earth writing style I can relate to.

This book covers everything - consumer issues, dating and cyber relationships, and of course the one most people can't bring themselves to believe women are interested in: erotica/porn.

I think this is a great gift for men to buy if they surf the "adult" side of the 'net alone and want to start including their partner. (though they may be pleasantly surprised that their partner is also surfing steamy stuff).

Bible for LA survival
Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2006-12-01
As a working actor for most of my life, I can attest to the fact that of all the "how to" books on the market this book is truly a must have, especially if you are new to the LA market. Here you will find the best/cheapest/chicest etc place to (fill in the blank) get your nails done, get your photos copied, find a computer etc. It won't make you a better actor but it can help you survive in a tough city so that you can spend your energies improving your craft. I offer this advice as someone who recurred on 11 series including Seinfeld and Home Improvement and what is very nice now is that this book used to cost upwards of 125 new (I never owned a new copy but always one two years out of date! ) and now is just the price of a regular book. Combine this book with Judy Kerr's Acting is Everything and you are ready to begin to ask the eternal question "How do I get an agent"?

The Working Actor's Guide is, by far, the most comprehensive guide to acting in Los Angeles ever created. Nothing comes close to this directory. It has useful blurbs, detailed contact information, and various other handy resources that any actor (whether newcomer or well established) could use. As a young acting student myself and having purchased this guide for the past six years, I highly recommend it.

This is definately one item that every public course golfer in eastern MA should have ( no, you can't borrow mine! ). Any question you'd have about any course within an hour or two's drive is answered here. Directions, greens fee info, course ratings, tee time info, course descriptions and more. Whoever put this book together has really done a service for golfers throughout the region. There may be two feet of snow on the ground as I'm writing this ( 3/10/01 ) but I've already started my wish list of "must play" courses for 2001; all taken from the pages of YOUR GUIDE TO PUBLIC GOLF COURSES.

Great gift

Thousands of soldiers on the reserve list are torn away from their families and friends back home. "Your Military Family Network: Your Connection to Military friendly Resources, Benefits, Information, Businesses and Advice" speaks of a community of experts and professionals who are there to keep soldiers in touch with the world back home they had left behind. Inside are suggestions for building your own personal and community support network, instructions on military moving, resources for everything medical, guidance on legal rights, living in military, support for parents, guidelines to stay fit, and state by state specific support for soldiers. "Your Military Family Network: Your Connection to Military Friendly Resources, Benefits, Information, Businesses, and Advice" is highly recommended for any soldier on the reserve list hoping to keep in touch and be prepared for if they are called upon in these tough times, and for community library military collections.

For military families who are facing real hardships, this book is like a dictionary of resources and benefits that can help them. For instance, if your family has a service member who is deployed, you can find things like your legal rights, medical benefits, who can help you when your car breaks down and your finances are low, resources for emergencies. If you are just coping with the normal daily challenges of military family life, you can learn how to shop smarter; get a better education or a better job; rent, buy, or live in military housing; even ways to get healthier and have fun, while saving for the future. I wish I could give this book to every military family I know.

Choc-full of great information, Zagat once again shows the best and the worst of so many different types of eateries in the greater LA. From The Abbey right through to Zucca Ristorante it goes alphabetically through some great sounding places. Many I've been to and the reviewers are accurate more times than not, so this is a book I think you can trust. It includes websites for the restaurants and it includes prices and even eateries in Palm Springs, Orange County and Santa Barbara etc. It's easy to follow and there is practically something in here for everyone. I mean EVERYONE. From all types of cuisines in all price brackets. It's a great guide that gives you a little insight into new places to try or just your old favourites. I highly recommend this great book.

This is a bible to any New York resident and would be a helpful guide to any visitor. I have used Zagat's guides religously since moving to the area and I can not remember an instance when it was inaccurate - which is remarkable considering the subjectivity of opinions. Perfect for scouting out sites for dinner dates and trendy places to visit. I now use their other guides and online website to pick out restaurants during weekend getaways to other cities.

Excellent although now comprehensive

No doubt about it the Zagat Survery to New York City is a must have. Great info on restaurant prices, ambiance, service and location. But no matter how good it is some really nice finds still get left out. As a frequest visitor to the Mid Town area I'm surprised to see local favorites like Le Bonne Soupe (great French Onion) and Connelly's (world's best cheeseburgers) are never mentioned. With all the restaurants in New York, I suppose they can't cover everything, still Zagat has helped me find some real treasures and I'm attempting to help them add a few to their list as a return favor. Pick up a copy before your next trip, it's money well spent. Just bear this in mind--restaurant reviews are all subjective. A restaurant is only good if you like it!
