In depth -- Well illustrated -- Easy to Read
I have been working with computers for years. I decided to go back to college and this book is required reading for one of my classes. It turned out to be one of the best computer books I have ever read. The book itself is well written, the information is comprehensive, the illustrations are great. I'm impressed! I thought I knew a lot about computers until I read this book. I am learning a great deal more. The reading is not like the dry, technical books usually found out in the computer market, but almost like a novel. I have a hard time putting it down.

Well written, comprehensive and easy to read
I was given this book to use to teach an introductory course in IS for a community college. I have 25 years experience as a computer professional and educator. Therefore, I have read numerous IS books. This one is by far the easiest and most comprehensive overview of information systems. The layout of the book is easy to follow. Additionally, the format is conducive to reading because it includes a variety of colors, indentations, italics and bullets. These formatting changes help to hold the readers interest i.e keep the reader awake.

I recommend this book as a self-teaching tool or for educators who are teaching an introductory course.

Good book to learn microsoft 2000
i was using this book for my introduction to information system class at college.

i think this book was very good. i was able to pick up microsoft office (word, excel, project, access, etc) fairly quickly. I think the book does a good job with its exercise and questions.

the only problem i have was with microsoft access. I think the program itself is hard to use though, not necessarily about the style of this book.

It's A Breeze
I am already quite experienced with Word and Excel and I wanted to learn the rest of the package. This book assumes that you know absolutely NOTHING about any of the MS Office applications. For the first few chapters it walks you through everything from opening and saving files to using the many formatting features. (I did every single exercise they explained and collectively it took me less than 12 hours to cover the first 3 chapters completely. I did learn new things relating to only PowerPoint.) I love the fact that the book is designed so that an experienced MS Office user can easily pick out the exercise information by skimming and skipping instead of having to read the entire text. As the chapters advance, the skill levels increase and there is less "basic" information to cover.
I never thought I could learn to utilize such a powerful program as PowerPoint but I was wrong. I recommend this book, and it's series, to anyone who wants to learn the MS Office applications but thinks it's too hard. This is an excellent book for them! I also recommend this book to anyone that is relatively familiar (but not an expert) with MS Office. The first few chapters will be slow going, but don't skip them, skim them. Do all of the exercises. You'll be surprised at how fast you learn to use PowerPoint.

Intriguing, Educational essay on the practice of law 1940-60
This book was very enlightening and insightful on the practice of law in the 40's, 50's and 60's. It brought to life an era of controversy and injustice within an evolving America. It helps to explain these disruptive years of anti-communism and racial injustice amid the political struggles of a partisan society.
