Good Balance
I found this book to be one of the better books that I have read in regards to IT.Too often I find that books do not offer a good blend of technical theory with practical application.In other words, either just told why to do something without being told where, or told to place check in said box without being told why as if I knew the material inside and out.This book didn't do that in my opinion.I felt as though the author had spent some time ensuring that the practical application was correct and each time I posed the question "why?" he was right there with a hint or note to give me some info.

Prior to reading this book I had used only ISA2K6 when it was pre-RTM (late Beta) in 2006 and early 2007.Since then I hadn't spent much time dealing with it but found this book to be quite useful in reminding me what I had previously learned as well as shedding light on some other issues that I had either not been able to find the answer to or had not had time to research (as many might agree, sometimes finding information on ISA isn't as easy as we would all like).

As far as those of you looking to get the +S on the MCSA or MCSE...yes I used this book for that purpose.I have taken the 70-351 and I did find this book very helpful.On some of the questions posed throughout the test I recalled some of the information provided by the author (and remember that bit about theory and application - helped).

Will I go as far as to say this is the definative book for ISA2K6, no.I haven't read the others.But I will say that if you use it or plan to, this book is worth the time.

Not a migration guide!
This book is a fairly in-depth guide for ISA 2006, but it is NOT a migration or upgrade guide.At a minimum, I expected a full chapter dedicated to upgrading from ISA 2004 to 2006, but no such chapter exists.The last 5 pages of the book discuss "ISA 2004 Upgrade Considerations", and that's about it!
Suprising, considering the author's stellar work and track record.I had this on order for 6 months while I was working on other projects, and now that it's here, it's a big letdown.
There is some good material in this book, especially in the realm of security, but that's not why I bought it.

Find and Replace
This book seems as if they have just done a find and replace on the text "2004" to "2006", and strangely enough they even managed to miss a few! Most of the book is an exact replica of ISA 2004 by the same author (I now have both). There is also no explanation of how to do a migration from 2004 (or anything) to 2006, the author preferring the user to do a complete re-install, which is strange considering the title of the book. That said, there are a couple of chapters on new features but overall this book is decidedly average. ... Read more

Great
The book came quickly and was in the condition stated in the description. I was very happy with what I received!

Great Explanation; a bit polluted by modern society
Clarity and logical explanation of the modern theories of language and linguistics is this book's strength.I exhaustively covered this book because of a college class that it was required for.Much about language that is basic for moving on from elementary linguistics is covered in this book.

Contemporary classic theories of language are included (ie Saussure's theories, Sapir-Whorf, etc) which sets the reader off into a fascinating discovery of how language promotes or inhibits one's power in modern society.

In such contemporary issues as political correctness and the Standard American English debate, a slightly more leftist view is employed in the writing of the book than I would've preferred, but nonetheless, there is a suffice and clear explanation of the information throughout.

A quality book.Check it out! ... Read more

Five adventures in a connected storyline
The Upside:

Champions Battlegrounds is a series of connected Superhero adventures that take place in Millennium City of the Champions Universe Setting. The basic premise behind the adventure book is there is a new master villain is in town out to destroy the heroes! The five adventures are designed to be connected in a single long story arc (taking at least five sessions, possibly much more depending on how you want to fit it into your campaign). Each adventure comes with notes on how to run it as a stand alone adventure however, making it easy to pull one or two that you like from the book and fit them into your game.

The book is so much more than an adventure book. With each chapter there is an adventure and a location, and some other goodies that can be used anywhere.

Chapter One - A Walk In The Park. The first adventure is a strait up knock down fight. The plot device appears in the city park - a bomb. The heros must disarm the bomb then defeat the group of villains waiting to fight them. As part of the full story this is the Master Villains first test of the heroes, a strait up test of their combat ability. With this chapter we get a write-up and map of a typical large city park that can be used pretty much anywhere. We also have two NPC write-ups a Bicycle Police Officer and an EMT. Both NPCs are generic and reusable anywhere you might need them. We also get two vehicles not found elsewhere, a Mountain Bike (a variation on the 10-Speed Bike found in The Ultimate Vehicle) and an All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV).

Chapter Two - Let's Go To The Maul. This adventure provides a few things, first is a bit of comic relief in the form of Foxbat, the chance to stop GRAB (a group of thieving villains) and a romp through a mall to save civilians. This adventure provides the PCs with a chance to show they're heroes by saving mall-goers from chaos, and attempt to stop some robbers. This is not the strait up fight of the first adventure, and it has comic relief which is good every now and then. This is another test of the PCs mettle by the Master Villain. With the plot we get a map and full write-up of a typical two story mall of decent size. And the real bonus to this adventure are write-ups for Foxbat's sidekicks strait from the Foxbat Fanclub! (for those not familiar with Foxbat he is the Champions Universe's most ridiculous master villain ever, pure comic relief).

Chapter Three - Fatal Attractions. This adventure is another test of our heroes, this time they have to not only save civilians, but the traps are lethal and they must find and stop the villain of the adventure. This combines some of the fight of adventure one with the heroics of adventure two. With the scenario we get a really nice write-up of an amusement park (this one themed after a Superhero Drama in the Champions Universe, but is easily adaptable to any campaigns theme park needs).

Chapter Four - Under Construction. This adventure plots the heroes against a master villain level villain (but not The Master Villain of the book), and a few of his cronies. The twist is it involves a bit of a political roleplaying on the part of the PCs and NPCs alike. The adventure takes place at the construction site of a new building that will hold the Institute For Human Advancement (The IHA is the Champions Universe version of an anti-mutant organization). The PCs must save the building site of one of their enemies to stop another enemy, putting them firmly in the middle of the pro/anti-mutant debate. Assuming such a thing exists in your campaign this is a good adventure to get the PCs involved in that aspect if you want to. With the scenario we get several maps of a construction site (two basement levels and eight unfinished stories of a building), a variant write-up of a Bulldozer (smaller and faster than the one written up in The Hero System Vehicle Sourcebook) and a Truck Crane write-up. We also get three Business Men NPC archetypes, the clean stand up business man who is polite and has no dark secrets; The well connected obviously crooked but no one can prove it businessman; And the appears clean but acts nervous and probably has something to hide weasel type businessman. All three are good examples of this NPC type, though the descriptions given aren't completely generic they can be good for ongoing NPCs in your game.

Chapter Five - Down In The Hole. The final adventure in the book pits the heroes against the hidden Master Villain of the story. A brand new villain written just for this scenario. Tracking the villain to his warehouse base the PCs first encounter his minions, ARGENT Agents (ARGENT is a Champions Universe villain organization) and Interface, a supervillain with friendly ties to ARGENT. We get a write-up got Interface, generic ARGENT Agents and Robot Minions designed by Interface. We also get Interface's base, with typical warehouse disguise over it. The base includes a series of devious Death Traps to put your PCs into, forcing each PC to use all their powers available to them to get out. The villains base and death traps are easily suitable to any villain you want, but the set up is tailored to Interface himself.

All things considered there's a lot of meat in this adventure book, we have five new vehicle write-ups to use anywhere appropriate, several generic NPCs and NPC archetypes that can be reused, five locations to flesh out your campaign city some more and a new master villain to pit your PCs against. The adventures themselves are well written, each one has an overview, a short section on how to pull it out of the story arc and make it a stand alone adventure, a time line of events to work with within the adventure, and ties to make them either part of a larger story or simply connect them to your campaign.

Another nice touch in the book is the back provides full page maps from the scenarios that make it easy to photocopy for handouts in your adventures. Also provided are Combat Record Sheets for each adventure making it easy to track what's going on with each scenario.

The Downside:

The only down side in the book is that it does not contain the write-ups of most of the adversaries the PCs will fight. It requires you have Conquerors, Killers, And Crooks, which villains to use in each scenario are provided with page references to this book. Or it requires you to write-up your own villains to fight the PCs. While this doesn't ruin the book by any means, it does mean it's not a stand alone product (I highly recommend Conquerors, Killers, And Crooks by the way, it is an excellent book of Supervillains).

The Otherside:

The book is easily useable by non-Hero gamers looking for some locations and adventures to pit your Superheros against. The location write-ups are generic and don't require any particular system. And the adventure hooks and scenarios are likewise generically written enough that you need only provide the stats of your favorite Supers RPG.

Overall, the book is an excellent source of material for a Supers game given the adventure scenarios, the location write-ups and the story arc that ties it all together. Even if you get it just for the locations it's worth the price on the cover. ... Read more

Here is the legendary recording of Under Milk Wood, with Richard Burton and Richard Bebb as narrators; but here also are two radio productions he wrote before that great classic, and though interesting in their own right, they show how Under Milk Wood grew gradually in his imagination. Thomas was a charismatic if idiosyncratic performer of his own poetry and stories and here is a representative selection.

Three Viewpoints on Burning Economic Issues
Here is a great way to learn economics without all the mathematics! Carson, Thomas, and Hecht have produced a short, very readable book covering the burning economic issues of our time. The unique thing about this book is that it provides three different viewpoints (Conservative, Liberal, and Radical) for each issue covered!

A layman's guide to the economic issues of today.
"Economic Issues Today" is the layman's guide to the big economic issues affecting American society in our time. The book covers a wide range of issues from consumer welfare and income distribution to big business and international economics. For each topic (and there are 14 topics altogether) the conservative, liberal and radical views are presented. Given the number of topics there is only limited discussion on each.

Carson, Thomas and Hecht have tried to present the basic arguments of each side, while reserving judgment on what they think is the `right' view. They admit that they were tempted to do this, but decided that the reader should be the final judge as to the merits of each argument. Because of this, the essays read as a debate between three economists, each from a different school of thought, but without the jargon usually involved in such debates. On some issues, one side clearly shines but on others there did not seem to be a winner to me. The only caveat here is not to take the representative views here as that actually held by the sides in real life. The arguments employed by actual conservatives , liberals and radicals are obviously much more thorough and realistic. The essays at time make it seem that some of the sides have very simplistic and unrealistic views on life, and the reader may be tempted to believe it especially if it confirms their prior biases. The authors have written a short bibliography for those readers interested in finding out more about the differing views. The bibliography is short, but it lists the major figures that have had a large influence on their respective schools of thought.

Carson et al. have done an excellent job by not letting their biases show when relating the three different paradigms, I would highly recommend this book to undergraduates in economics or politics or to any general reader who wants to find out more about the economic arguments employed by conservatives, liberals and radicals when they talk about the economic issues of today. ...
