The Little Zen Companion that isReview Date: 2006-02-24
I gave a copy to a friend who asked what Zen is. This is not a Zen textbook and yet it is. Zen is not linear or analytic. It is intuitive, poetic. And that's the way this book feels.
I recommend you buy it, read a few pages per day until there is no one reading and nothing to read.
Just a real handy check-upReview Date: 2004-09-12
I hand it to first-year law clerks who ask "why" too often, as much as recommend it to people who try to answer Les McCann's question "real compared to what?"
This is not a zen book as such. It is a wonderful quote-by-quote reminder that simplicity of thought and action is closer to truth than noise and clutter. It's zen lite maybe, while it is also accessible and thought provoking. A traipse through it's pages will always raise a smile and some recognition of having seen something clearly. Pick it up. If you don't like it, you know someone who will.

The Big Little Book of EnlightenmentReview Date: 2006-01-14
This really is a nice little Zen primer in the way that it touches on the essence of everything from basic Zen vocabulary (bodhisattva to zendo), historical figures (the Buddha, Bodhidharma, Layman P'ang, the Sixth Patriarch, Crazy Cloud, Basho, Suzuki, Ryokan, Dogen), to practice (koans, zazan, martial arts, haiku, tea ceremony, painting and calligraphy.) It is the wide range quotations though that really makes the book, from classical koans to the thoughts of beats, bullfighters, and scientists. It all blends together to really point to the path to enlightenment. And it is small enough that you can carry it around in your pocket to pull out at any odd moment for inspiration. You could do worse than to make this your first introduction to the subject.
There is both a bibliography in the back for more in-depth study, as well as, a listing of the sources for all the quotes.

Wit and wisom, abbreviatedReview Date: 2004-07-16
Some of it is wise, some of it is deep, some of it is funny, some just clever. Sorry - it's not the can-opener to enlightenment. Some people get upset when they don't get that instant gratification. This isn't a step-by-step instructuon manual.
Just read it and enjoy it without preconception. Meditate on it if you find something particularly worthwhile. Or don't. But just don't make it into something bigger than what it intends to be; take it as it is: a small collection of interesting and often pertinent pieces, with a little humour thrown in.
Read it one page at a time, and it'll last a long time. I find a different view of the flower each time I read - or re-read - a page.

The Definitive Work on the Vietnam WarReview Date: 2008-04-10
~ For me, this volume was and remains the definitive work on the Vietnam conflict. It is interesting, concise, understandable, and insightful. I continue to re-read it about every five years and just cracked it open again.
~ When I retired from my Army career (as an Infantry officer), I became a high school social studies teacher and I have used "Summons" as one of my main references when teaching my students about the Vietnam War, this time period, our society, and American government.
~ Russell Weigley, a noted historian who I also value, correctly called this book "by far the best synthesis of...the Vietnam War." Thank you, General Palmer, for letting the "Trumpet" sound!

Excellent overview of Vietnam WarReview Date: 2004-08-15
Very Good OverviewReview Date: 2002-08-29
The treatment he gave to the major battles was good. He presented an easy to follow account of the battle, what lead up to it and the outcome. He also touched on some of what was happening back home with the politics, but only briefly. I think the most interesting parts of the book for me was the details of the air war, more specifically how the bombing kept escalating and then the final bombing push by Nixon. My only complaint with the book is that it was an overview that was a bit too light on the facts for me. The book was only 270 pages long, and book size do not necessary determine quality, this book could have been a little bit more in-depth. It seemed to me that to get a better understanding a few more pages could have been added without the overview turning into a in depth study.

Extremely Comprehensive OSI Layer 2 CoverageReview Date: 2007-05-08
About 10 years ago in my communications classes I studied Ethernet, transmission/arbitration using CSMA/CD, frame structures, etc, but forgot much of it. "The Switch Book" has everything I learned in my EE curriculum and then some. At 650 pages, almost exclusively dedicated to layer 2 of the OSI model, this book is extremely comprehensive. Considering its breadth, it is a very easy read for self study and would also make a good reference. What makes it an easy read is that it does not regurgitate the RFCs and IEEE Standards. It contains tons of examples, graphs, network diagrams, and footnotes. BTW, the footnotes are full of humor; oh, and there is even a funny poem on link aggregation. When the book gets overly technical (e.g. hardware implementations), Seifert tells the reader he can skip the section without losing continuity.
This book as helped me debug a problem I had with Spanning Tree and Link Aggregation (trunking). After reading this thick book, I feel confident that I can put an analyzer on the wire and know exactly what's happening by watching the bitstreams. Frame formats for everything are graphically represented. Even some cool stuff, like LACP, GARP, GVRP, and GMRP are covered. Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring are the three LAN technologies covered.
All chapters follow a similar format. Each chapter starts with theory and some (usually visual) examples. Then some technical software/hardware implementations are explained, followed by configuration and more examples. Usually, the end of the chapters discuss the history of the technology and the official standard (IEEE, technical pub, RFC, etc.).
The author mentions that much of the material was written in mid-1999. Considering its age, it is still very relevant. The only two technologies that I can think of that weren't around when this book was written are "Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol", although STP is covered, and 10GbE, which is negligible.
The bottom line is, if you need to understand layer 2, you need this book.
Best technical bookReview Date: 2007-06-10
The book is especially valuable to those who do not have much background in switching. The concepts are explained in plain language and the book provides many references for further reading.
The only negative is that the book is getting a little dated and so does not contain information on some of the latest standards and product developments. Hopefully a new edition will come out soon. But even so, I highly recommend this book.
Best technical book I've ever read!Review Date: 2006-03-22
The author clearly knows his subject matter and explains things well. He even tells you when a particular section can be skipped without loss of meaning to the rest of the book.
I hate technical books with lame jokes. His jokes are FUNNY and worth reading.

Managing my equity in my real estate makes a Huge difference in my wealth!Review Date: 2008-02-11
Manage your liabilities as well as your assetsReview Date: 2008-02-16
The basic premise is to use only a small part of your downpayment on the mortgage and invest the rest. The government allows you a tax savings that subsidizes your mortgage payment and you have the rest of your funds to invest in a side account. This account will grow and through compounding will increase to a point that in most cases far before the mortgage term is up you have sufficient assets to pay the loan off in a lump sum. However it is wise to keep that liquidity and let it grow. Besides the investment growth you are keeping your funds liquid in case of a financial emergency. If you lose your job or your house is destroyed by nature (Katrina) you have funds to live on because the bank won't loan you money against the property in either case. By being liquid you can weather whatever situation arises.
While financially carrying a large mortgage is the smart thing to do I have many clients that say peace of mind is worth more than the wealth growth or liquidity. Regardless of the financial advantages, to many people peace of mind is more valuable than additional money. No matter how you feel you owe it to yourself to investigate the options and make up your own mind. I have seen a lot of people totally change their mindset from this book and the others I mentioned.
CHUCK OLIVER'S REVIEW OF BORROW SMART AND RETIRE RICHReview Date: 2008-02-11
In this country, we are taught to consume rather than conserve.

I want my clients and my fellow advisors to understand how owning your home can affect many areas of one's net worth and that there is a new and better way to evaluate one's financing decisions. I've learned ways to increase my family bank safely and conserve it by following the tools provided in this book.

Jackie RobinsonReview Date: 2004-11-24
Terrific ReadReview Date: 2003-09-05
Some reviewers have faulted the author for not being more interpretive of Robinson's politics - specifically, that he was a Nixon supporter in 1960 and a Rockefeller supporter in 1968 (while also being a strong supporter of Civil Rights, active in almost every civil rights organization) and Humphrey supporter as well. I think the book lays out all the facts for the reader to see for themselves. Robinson's coming of age - in an era when a Dixiecrat from a Jim Crow state (LBJ) led the passage of the Civil Rights Act - was a time of a shifting political landscape that didn't settle out until near his death (he also broke badly with Nixon later in Nixon's career). The Republican party's mantra of self-reliance, and Robinson's determination to succeed in business in the same way he did in sports, made his attraction to the party not a big leap; the alienation of this country's African American establishment from big business was not a pre-ordained fact in the time Robinson lived.
Finally, Robinson's own family struggles were also a reflection of the confusing and troubling times in which he lived.
Robinson died too young for us all. This is a great book and I would highly recommend it..
an engrossing, human storyReview Date: 2002-06-03
of course he is looked back on now as a symbol, a mythological figure. i always knew peripherally of Jackie as the same thing most people do: the first black man to play major league baseball, a step forward & up in the painful struggle of the times. but this book presents him as a human being, a fallible man who lived most of his life not on the baseball field, but in a relentless pursuit of his ideals and desire for a better life for himself and everyone around him.
the reviewer before me questions the biographer's lack of judgement of Robinson. i am curious as to why he feels Rampersad should insert his own analysis; the biography presents analyses of Robinson by many of Robinson's contemporaries, and then presents the recorded facts available to clarify incidents & statements. yes, this is an intensely personal biography, perhaps too personal in places. it is very much centered on Jackie's private correspondences. it is absolutely told from Robinson's persepctive, as best can be reconstructed from his widow Rachel & the papers he left behind, but it feels very honest, not at all like an airbrushed bit of hero-polishing. it is in places very blunt about Jackie's shortcomings as observed by his peers & contemporaries.
before i stretch this out any longer, i'll just say that this is the most engrossing biography i can ever recall having read. it's an account of a fascinating life in an amazingly recent time, in an America that seems so long ago but is still discouragingly recent. readers will learn not just about Jackie Robinson, but about two American eras as well.
