Whoever found Ioan Gruffudd for the role of Hornblower should be rewarded 10 times over and then some. This book is chock full of fantatic pictures and great insite into the making of this exciting series. I laugh out loud at some of the humor laced throughout this book. The pictures are worth owning this book for on their own, is a must own for any fan of Hornblowaaahhhhh!

I love this book. Aside from the tons of great pictures of the cast, it gives a lot of background on all the characters - including the boat that they used to for filming.

There are brief synopsis' on all the movies as well as a brief rundown of the characters we meet in each movie.

Wonderful interviews, beautiful pictures, and indepth characterization from the actor's perspective.

This is a great book for any Hornblower fan!

If you are a Hornblower fan you must have this book! First, the photographs are amazing including captures from the hit A & M mini series to back stage candids, technical details and beautiful portraits of the stars. Second, the written commentary if fantastic. The writer goes into details of the complexities of filming in a foreign place, supplying food, costumes, transportation and everything else. It also talks about the Grand Turk, the ship they filmed the mini series on. It was interesting to read about how the crew from the film had to work with the crew that actually operated the ship, the movie sailing cast and the makeup and wardrobe people, all on what seems to be a pretty small ship. This book is very well done, and really should be owned by any true Horatio Hornblower fan.

Both this book and its first edition are very readable works on the subject of 'computer ethics'. Many college courses on the subject use this, but you need not be taking a course to want to read it. Too many people in the computer field are ignorant of this topic, which is not good.

Unlike any other MIT press book that I have read, this one is a waste of time and money. The book is a compilation of one paragraph summaries of newspaper articles about viruses, hacking, piracy, etc. There are no in depth case studies or analysis. At one point the author complains that Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation can advocate free software because he receives funding from the McArthur Foundation. "Other programmers have to eat!" he quips. Can you get any more shallow than that? And besides, I imagine that Red Hat employees are eating just fine. I picked this book up in the MIT Press remainders section for a buck, and let me tell you - I paid too much!!!

This book serves as a good introduction to the main seven areas of information technology reguiring ethical considerations. It is suitable for anyone who is new to computing with a social concience.
