Plus, the Review Manual is completely in sync (same terminology, formulas, topic order, etc.) with the NCEES handbook that is used during the exam. This combination is so effective that the publisher offers a unique "Pass or Don't Pay" Guarantee: pass the exam, or get a full refund for the book.

5 out of 5 stars This book was great!.......2007-10-11

It had been almost two years since I graduated with my chemical engineering degree. I bought this book a few months before the April exam and read a chapter a day while taking the train to work. I kicked up my studying a week or so before the test date and then rocked the test! The practice questions and tests seemed so much harder than the actual test. I was shocked when I finished both test sessions with at least an hour to spare! Buy this book and prepare to rock!

5 out of 5 stars Very Good.......2007-06-27

I received earlier than I expected. I think the delivery service is best than I've ever experienced. thank you.

5 out of 5 stars Good review Book.......2007-06-03

This book is really helpful if you buy it when you start taking your engineering courses because most of the professors look at this book while picking up exam questions. Lets not forget its also a good review for FE.
If you buy this book when you are junior or upper sophomore and start using it as reference it wont be new book to you when you start reviewing it for FE.

5 out of 5 stars Rapid Preparation for FE review.......2007-06-01

      Book Description

      How has race determined the course of American history? From the Revolution to the New Deal, from the Civil War to the Second World War, race has been at the center of virtually every national turning point. In a brilliant book, Michael Goldfield doggedly documents the persistence of racism in the American nation through a penetrating assessment of racism in the labor movement.

            Book Description

            This report provides an overview of the economic and institutional developments in East Timor up to September 1999 and the immediate impact of the violent events that followed the August 30, 1999 referendum to decide East Timor's future status. The report presents the key elements of the strategy recommended by IMF staff to the United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor (UNTAET) to rebuild the institutions needed to support economic activity and public administration, including external financing requirements, technical assistance, and macroeconomic management training needs. Finally, the report assesses implementation of the strategy and discusses the steps that should be taken to ensure that the strategy will help East Timor to prepare to face future challenges.

                  Book Description

                  Music video is a popular form worldwide. It is a teachable and accessible topic because the videos are familiar to students, easy to obtain, and short. And because it is always changing, it makes an exciting and vibrant media form to study and analyze, raising interesting questions about representations, media language, institutions, and audiences--the four key concepts of media studies. Music video has also had considerable influence formally and stylistically upon a range of other media and cultural artifacts globally. This teaching guide gives you everything you need to approach the topic with your students, including guidelines to practical work.

                  This book provides great insights and tips to teaching music videos. Has a historical timeline, several examples as well as printable online exercises for my kids to work on.

                  5 out of 5 stars Super series for Film & Media Studies teachers (16-19 year olds).......2005-09-27

                  I am biased, as I'm the Series Editor, but every title in the series has lots of factual and conceptual background information for each topic, two sample six-week teaching schemes and teaching tips (and downloadable photocopiable worksheets and web notes from [...]) as well as 3-5 detailed case studies, full glossary and suggestions for further research.

                  Every writer is an experienced teacher and/or examiner and most titles (with the exception of ones with 'British' in the title) have a fairly international perspective.

                                        Networks just aren't homogeneous anymore, despite the best efforts of operating system vendors to bring about the contrary. Many network administrators need to know how to get around in half a dozen operating systems or more; itinerant consultants find themselves in the same boat. Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems breaks new ground in the technical-book industry by documenting the interfaces--graphical as well as textual--of eight popular operating systems in one (large) volume. It's a great resource for people who have to hop from Red Hat Linux to AIX Unix (among others) frequently, or who want to use their knowledge of one operating system to help them learn another. In table after table and entry after entry, this book explains how almost every operating system you're likely to find in a modern data center exposes its functions to users and administrators.

                                        It's hardly possible to commend the authorial team enough for the empirical research they did in compiling this book (and it is a tabular compilation, not a tutorial or prose volume of any kind). Over three years they installed all of the covered operating systems on test servers and used custom software to scan the machines for executable commands. They admit to excluding games, device drivers, and a small number of very obsolete commands from their coverage, but issue (in the preface) a challenge to all readers to find a useful command they haven't included. That kind of warranty is very rare in the technical-book industry, and it appears that this book lives up to its authors' boast of true universality.

                                        How does the Universal Command Guide work? Say you know Microsoft Windows, and know that MSCDEX.EXE is key to making a CD-ROM drive accessible. What commands are equivalent in other operating systems? A scan of the cross-reference that opens this book (it lists every command available in every covered operating system next to its parallels in other environments) reveals what the Unixes and NetWare use, and that the Macintosh requires no special command for the purpose at all. If you want to know more about a NetWare 4.11 command, you can flip to the chapter on that operating system for complete coverage of syntax and parameters.

                                        This is a big, supremely useful book, backed by diligent and extensive research. The only way to make it better would be to cover more operating systems (a couple more Linuxes, HP-UX, and Mac OS X would be nice), but that's a feeble criticism. If you understood the point of this book when you read the title, you'll be pleased. It'll satisfy your expectations. --David Wall

                                        Topics covered: Every administrative command in Sun Solaris 7 and 8; IBM AIX 4.3.3; OpenBSD 2.7; Red Hat Linux 7; Novell NetWare 3.12, 4.11, 5.1, and 6; Mac OS 9.1; MS-DOS 6.22; and Microsoft Windows 95 through XP. Every command-line command and many graphical command sequences are covered fully, with information on every parameter and command variation.

                                        Book Description

                                        The ultimate operating system reference: Over 8,000 commands and 57,000 command options from every major operating system--Windows. UNIX. Linux. NetWare. Macintosh. DOS. If you're a systems professional, chances are you're pretty familiar with commands in at least one of these operating systems. But what happens when you need to get up to speed on an operating system you don't know? This ingenious reference will have you up and running in no time. It describes and illustrates every command in every commonly used operating system, and cross-references each command to the equivalent commands in other operating systems. The Universal Command Guide for Operating Systems bridges the gap between all operating systems by cross-referencing commands between the many different operating systems that exist today.

                                        2 out of 5 stars Not worth the money.......2006-07-11

                                        This book portends to be a universal command guide, and in all fairness they managed to get a good number of commands in the text. Unfortunately the ones the missed are significant (e.g. UNIX tar, which is universal in UNIX and Linux). I would not recommend this book for someone looking for help in distinguishing the difference in Linux and BSD commands.

                                        5 out of 5 stars my review on this book.......2005-08-05

                                        The book is amazing, it has all the commands i need, from windows to UNIX, but the downside of this is it doesn't have the HP-UX version. i hope they release an updated version of this book with the ones they're missing. One more thing is the pages of this book are too thin, one false move might cause the page to break. I hope the next release should more physically better. I hope you release a universal database version too. And for all the authors of this book out there... keep up the good work.

                                        4 out of 5 stars UCG book in research and teaching.......2002-11-13

                                        I had waited a long time for a book that could serve me as "manual pages" for different operating systems.

                                        Best part of this book is that if you are familiar with one OS you can now find the similar command in another OS. Afterall, when learning commands of a new OS the most difficult part (atleast for myself) was to ask the right questions - what can you do in this OS? I've used the book to find right commands for optimizing my Linux environment for heavy Matlab use and the book has served it's purpose well.

                                        Because of good indexing of the book I feel that it is also good material for university students, especially for Operating systems courses.

                                        There is one bad thing about the book, though. It is extremely big and heavy - and will probably ruin your bookbag ;D

                                        5 out of 5 stars Ambitious...and it delivers.......2002-10-13

                                        While initially quite skeptical of a book attempting to cover such disparate operating systems, the reality is that I have found this volume to be indespensible. Since I work with Red Hat Linux primarily and Solaris (v8) also rather frequently, it's easy use the UCG to get the syntax differences of those two environments. Sure, I could just scan the man pages -- but the already well-worn out copy of my UCG has enough bookmarks and paperclip (and yellow highlights) to make turning to it easier. It has also helped me better understand that there are quite a few ways to perform networking tasks using the Windows command line (as opposed to becoming dependent on the GUI). The charts showing the equivalency of commands across the diverse operating environments is a real time-saver. As a partisan of the O'Reilly books, I've come to the general conclusion that the value of a book is inversely proportional to its size. A big, thick book is generally fluff. But, this one is the exception.

                                        4 out of 5 stars missing HPUX and Digital UNIX.......2002-05-29

                                        This book is very complete for the OS's it covers. However, it doesn't cover HPUX or Digital Unix, which, AFAIK, are pretty popular variants of UNIX (especially HPUX).

                                        Don't get me wrong...it's a real buy. The cross-reference and details (including examples) are excellent, and it's a "must" for persons having to deal with a heterogeneous OS environment; or for admins/users having to get used to a new OS.

                                        I just wish the cover didn't say, "Every Command \ Every Operating System \ Cross-Referenced Together". That, to me, is misleading.
