Title: HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, Fifth Edition Publisher: O'Reilly Authors: Chuck Musciano, Bill Kennedy Rating: 5/5  Before I read this book, I knew nothing about HTML. Now, I have a few really nice web pages. This book is amazing. I looked at about twenty different HTML books in the store, and decided on this one because not only is its content and explanation excellent, but the authors show a great deal of respect to the readers as intelligent people. If you want to learn HTML, this book is the best choice.

Title: A Practical Guide to Solaris Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Mark G. Sobell Rating: 4/5  This book is an excellent text book. I recommend it to anybody as a good starting place. When we get new empoyees without any Unix experience this is the book I recommend. The layout is perfect for sitting down and learning step by step with the included lessons.

Title: Incident Response and Computer Forensics, Second Edition Publisher: McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Authors: Chris Prosise, Kevin Mandia, Matt Pepe Rating: 5/5 As an attorney and a formally-trained computer forensics examiner and instructor who has been tilling the fields of digital evidence for some time, I'm always on the prowl for the next great computer forensics tool or text that's going to help me find the next smoking gun...or at least be confident I haven't overlooked it. I've built a substantial library of books and articles on computer forensics, some very good and some a complete waste of money. But, this book is the best of the best. From its step-by-step detail of the forensic process to its copious and helpful illustrations and screen shots to its unvarnished discussion of the tools in the marketplace, the second edition of Incident Response and Computer Forensics is, for my money, the most valuable resource any computer forensic examiner could have on their shelf. Many of the techniques and shortcuts detailed are "trade secrets" in that I've never seen them described in print. Unlike other forensic guides that assume the reader owns a costly forensic software suite, this book fairly splits its emphasis between Linux tools, shareware and the best software packages. That means the reader can begin the learning process at once, without investing anything more than their time and interest. Another strength is that the book neither presupposes a too-high level of knowledge or experience nor dumbs down its content such that an expert wouldn't derive any value. There's something here for everyone who cares about computer forensics, from the neophyte to the grizzled veteran. When I paid $50.00 for this tome at a big box bookstore, I worried I was paying too much. Now, I'd think it cheap at twice the price. As another reviewer pointed out, it doesn't devote a chapter to the law, but that is not to say that legal considerations are ignored. To the contrary, I think the authors do an excellent job of giving a useful "heads-up" where needed and not moving out of their depth. I don't know these guys, but I'd sure like to shake their hands for a job well done! Thanks.

Title: Wireless Communications: Principles and Practice (2nd Edition) Publisher: Prentice Hall PTR Authors: Theodore S. Rappaport, Theodore Rappaport Rating: 4/5 In my opinion, THE book for introductory coursework in wireless (non-satellite) communications systems. Though the author claims the material can be covered in a single semester, I think it is better to plan a two-semester sequence at either the advanced undergraduate or early graduate levels. A background in calculus, probability theory, and communications signal analysis is necessary.
