Windows 2000 Active Directory Black Book: A Guide to Mastering Active Directory--the Key to Windows 2000

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.

Ok, I'm biased, I wrote it...
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.

The Best Book
Years ago, when I was 9 years old, my mother bought me "Wooden Teeth and Jelly Beans" so that I could learn about our country's presidents. I loved the book so much, I took it everywhere and read it almost everyday. I could name all the presidents in order and add an interesting fact about each one. I am now 15 and have since lost this great book, and I am here to spend my own money to buy another. I loved this book so much and I'm sure that your children will love it too and learn so much from it.

Can't miss with young children!
We bought this book when on vacation and it was wonderful. Our girls (then 8 and 5) spent hours reading facts about the presidents. They delighted in coming up with question that their father and I could not answer. It's great because it contains little facts about our presidents without having to read long paragraphs. I am currently looking to buy another copy as ours was lent to someone - never to return again.

Really Nice BOok!
I picked up this book after seeing it and i first thought it was going to be a silly Harry Potter clone, but i was surprised!
This is a really good book covering alot of topics in a concese way. It is easy to read and understand and is just beutiful to look at also. It covers many of the topics of wizardy without going into the whole witchcraft thing too much. It also talks about like many of the anicent wise men also like Soloman. If u r looking for a book on WIZARDRY and not witchcraft then this is a good start.

Great Book!
This a a good begginers only guide covering many topics in the field of Witchcraft. Tells about famous wizards and secret societies and helps you on your way to mastery of the Art. A great glossary at the end is a big help. I recommend it.

For a 4th grade text, incredible amount of information
I picked up this book thinking I would glance through it getting a feeling for what my daughter was studying in her 4th grade class. Two hours later, and only half way through, I thought, what a great book. There may be too much information for 4th graders to assimulate but their parents will love it. The book traces Wyoming's history from the earliest times through the present ending with a visit to the office of the state's governor. Providing interest for both young and old readers are fictional sections that illustrate the historical periods covered in the text. These sections are cleverly written and filled with stories that make historical events come to life. The author is blessed with a unique ability to combine fact and fiction at a level that can be appreciated by all age groups. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in the historic west - Wyoming in particular.

A wonderful text for kids and a great history read for adult
We, at Trail Elementary School, use this text in our 4th grade classes. The kids love it! Especially wonderful are the fictional stories that give flavor to the historical facts. We just got our revised editions in (1998) with a new cover and additional material. They're even better than the first edition.

Funny, funny, book!
Brinkerhoff did the number with his humorous cartoons on the funny little differences with Mormon people and their habbits. Really a good coffee book that will get lots of good conversation--not pro or against the church, just a good understanding of ideas.

Great humorous book! All true interesting insights
Get a good look at the funny things Mormons do different than most religions. Good little book with cartoons that really nail the differences of being a Mormon.

The 1900's as the decade of Theodore Roosevelt
Some school have add to traditional division between World and U.S. history a course focusing on the Twentieth Century. This move has been justified not only because the United States dominated the last century, making it impossible to deal with World History without taking into consideration America's role, but also because so much happened in the last hundred years matters very much to the lives and future of our students. Consequently, a series looking at American history decade by decade through the last century can have great value to students and teachers alike.

Adam Woog, whose mother once slept under wool blankets taken by Robert Peary to the North Pole in 1909, has the writing honors for the first decade of the 20th century. "The 1900s" is divided into seven chapters: (1) Daily Life: In the Good Old Summertime; (2) Social Problems, Social Cures: The Birth of the Square Deal; (3) Big Business, Labor, and Trust Busting: An Era of Reform; (4) Saving the Wilderness and Settling the Land; (5) Transportation Transformed: The Automobile Age Begins; (6) America Abroad: Speaking Softly and Carrying a Big Stick; and (7) Summary: The Decade Ends. It becomes clear from Woog's book that this decade was the era of Theodore Roosevelt, who becomes President in 1901 when McKinley is assassinated and who is replaced in 1909 by his handpicked successor, Taft. Most of these chapters show the impact of TR's political philosophy and dominating personality on virtually every aspect of the nation's life.

The name of this series as "A Cultural History of the United States" is somewhat misleading, because although these volumes certainly emphasize cultural aspects of history such as literature, sports and entertainment more than that traditional history textbooks, they certainly do not emphasize American culture. These books cover technology, significant political and social events, trends and music. Sidebars offer details on everything from Theodore Roosevelt and the rise of advertising to the search for the North Pole and the San Francisco earthquake. Illustrations consist of not only photographs from the period but editorial cartoons, which I always like to see in a history text. While I imagine it might be impractical to have a classroom set of this entire series for each student, these books can certainly be used by teachers to supplement the basic material in the textbook or by students looking at this particular decade in some detail.

Quotes to memorize for everyday use
The many quotes that were arranged and can be found in this book are excellent for use in your daily walk and for much instruction in the Lord. I found these to be quite useful in understanding certain topics found in the Bible, and sometimes found Spurgeon's quotes to be quite humorous. If there is any quotation book to get, this is a must have!

Beautiful, Chilling Story
This dark and poignant tale tells a very important story. he story chronicles the journey of 3 troubled and homeless kids. The story switches point of views from Curl a 15 year old prostitute to Custis a homeless boy who has escaped from his abusive "owner." The leader of this crew is Boobie who has just killed his parents and kidnapped his baby brother. This book deals with very difficult but important issues, and Rapp weaves tthe story beautifully. The slang is a bit difficult to understand in the beginning but once you become used to it, it adds a whole new element to the story. The story is distrubing and not easily forgotten but it is meant to stay with the reader. This haunting book is not one you will regret reading.
