The authors present a whole new way of looking at vision and how it effects/impacts one's life. Visual implications in various types of learning/reading disorders, athletic performance, working at a computer, driving an automobile, and your personality are all discussed. Must reading for the insightful reader.

This book is EXCELLENT!! She is almost 10 yrs old and for almost 2 years, our daughter has been struggling in school. We've watched her grades and attitude plummet. We've tried EVERYTHING to get her help. On an annual, routine eye exam, our eye doctor found a problem and sent us to Dr. Arthur Seiderman. I watched as she was tested and was AMAZED by the results. How did she get as far as she did with this vision disability? Moreover, only being 2 weeks into her therapy, we see a dramatic change in her attitude and boost in her confidence level. We read this book and it says it all! I highly recommend this book to anyone who see a problem with their child's behavior. Many ADHD people are misdiagnosed and they really have vision problems. We are thrilled with this book and are lending it to all of our friends!

The book was good, but in the end I realized something was really missing for me. What was it? The story was great, a Coca-Cola sales rep, flying over Africa on a business trip is on a plane which develops smoke in the cockpit, and is forced to make an emergency landing in the unwelcoming country of Congo, on a remote landing strip. This opening section of the book, with the plane crash landing was one of my favorites, I think it's what grabbed me, and kept me turning the pages. The passengers at first think they are going to be rescued, but their would-be rescuers turn out to be rebels who take the plane hostage, again there was great suspense through this part. Lewis, the title character becomes scared the plane is going to be blown up, and runs off into the jungle... Back home his estranged wife Helen, and seven year old blind son Shane wait for news. Soon after Lewis runs off Murphy's law kicks in, and the passengers are freed, and sent back to Paris. Ahh. But there is no Lewis in Paris because he has run off into the forest. Here, I was reminded of the movie castaway, where Helen is being pressured to believe Lewis is dead, and to just have the memorial... Instead Lewis is fighting for his life in the jungle, and instead of a soccer ball like Tom Hanks had in Castaway Lewis picks up a little kid who guides him through the rest of the book...During Lewis's time in the jungle Helen decides to pack up her son (this pushed my bounds of belief, as she was so neurotic about him in the states, I found it hard to believe she was bringing him to the wild's of Africa) and head to Africa in search of Lewis. She does this twice in the book. I won't tell you how it all comes out, but the ending was a bit implausable to me as well. So all the elements are here for a five star book, but I guess what was missing was my connections to the characters. I couldn't really see Lewis's attachement to Helen, and Vice Versa. Having said that, I did flip through the pages, and read the whole thing in one day, so it does grip you, and moves along quite quickly... I guess after I finished I just wasn't as satisfied as I wanted to be.

Marcus Stevens is an experienced African traveler with the gift of making the Congo so real that even in the chill spring mist of the Pacific Northwest, I felt the steam rise up fron the lush rainforest floor. In "The Curve of the World," Stevens introduces the reader to Lewis Burke, a man successful in his business, but so unsuccessful in relationships that he is estranged from his wife and young, blind son. On a routine flight from Paris to South Africa, Lewis's plane experiences mechanical trouble and is forced to land on a make-shift airstrip surrounded by miles of virgin Congolese rainforest. Will Lewis see his family again? Will he come to understand that the selling of Coca-Cola isn't--or shouldn't be--the most important part of his life? The adventure and education of Lewis in the Congo was so compelling that I read this book almost straight through. Helen, Lewis's independent and gutsy wife who comes to the Congo with her blind, seven-year-old son to find her missing husband, is so well drawn that I'd swear I know her.

I bought and read this book after hearing Marcus Stevens present at a Book/Author Dinner in Richmond, Virginia. Once I started reading, I couldn't put this book down. This book was two stories in one. One was the ultimate quest for survival after Lewis Burke's plane was required to make a forced landing in the remote Congo. His stories of survival, and subsequent befriending and rescue by a young Congolese boy, were fascinating. I felt like I was in the Congo trying to survive with him! This was intermingled with a love story, and ultimately renewed love between Lewis and his wife Helen. Their relationship had greatly suffered after the birth of their blind son Shane. Their relationship deteriorated for seven years while Helen gave her complete attention to raising a blind child, and Lewis withdrew more and more. Lewis' disappearance in the Congo renewed their temporarily lost love and brought them all back together. I greatly enjoyed this first work by Marcus Stevens and look forward to more from him!

I was looking forward to a book about CP FW-1, but was let down with 'Checkpoint Firewall-1 : Administration Guide'.

Goncalve's writing style is a bit choppy and there is not a lot of information in the book that is not easily available elsewhere.

For those who have never touched a firewall, the book may be a good start. But for an average FW-1 admin who has already configured FW-1, it is unlikely the book will add much to their skill set.

The book does not really have anything in it that the Checkpoint documentation hasn't already covered. Between the FW-1 mailing list and the book is not a compelling buy.

For those who really need to know firewalls 'Building Internet Firewalls' by Elizabeth Zwicky But for those that don't have hands-on access to a FW-1 installation, the book is a start.

I find this book to be very helpful for those who need to make a quick start working with the FireWall-1. It cover all the aspects of simple firewall configurations, including VPN. Also,it has a good coverage of the available encription technologies and how to configure this. This book do not cover advanced topics, but still this is the best one on FireWall-1 available in book stores so far. Maybe CheckPoint should follow the Cisco suite and start publishing its manuals and other documentation, or at least to put it on the Web!

I've been working with CheckPoint Firewall-1 for about a year now, and while I have only installed a few firewalls, the book does an excellent job of covering what to do. I think the title, an administrator guide, is exactly that, an administrator guide, the authors show completely how to install/setup and configure a rule base, and in a very simple to understand manner. I think it takes someone that has worked with a technology a long time to show how to do it simply. If you've been doing firewalls a long time, no, you don't need the book, the manuals are fine, but I also have CheckPoint documentation, 5 books, 10+ web html docs, and hundreds of simple how-to's from web sites, having most of it in one book does save some carrying. I disagree with some reviewers commments about PPTP, it doesn't show how to setup PPTP on the firewall, just how to pass it through, and yes, PPTP has a large market share, so it is definitely something that needs discussing. All in all, it is a good book, and if some people were disappointed, couldn't they just send the book back.
