Great undergraduate book.......2005-05-23

This particular book by Britz, is but one more example of her commitment to detail in all of her works. Like her previous books, this book is both readable and comprehensive. It is one that I myself have adopted in my computer crime course, and I am anxiously awaiting the second edition. The chapters on the legal issues and the history of computer crime are unparalleled in the extant literature. More succinctly, the greatest strength of the book is its' sheer readibility. Designed for undergraduates, this particular text is a must read for any beginner interested in computer crime and computer investigations. Unlike other books in the field which prove to be far too advanced for novices, Britz's book allows even the most unsophisticated reader to appreciate and understand the problems associated with the investigation of computer crime, as well as recognize emerging trends in this area. Please, please, provide a second edition as soon as possible!!

Well Done.......2005-03-11

"Computer Forensics and Cyber Crime," written by Marjie T. Britz and, publish by Pearson Education Inc., seems to be a very well balance book, why? It just took me few minutes, between reading the introductory notes and "browsing" to its chapters, to understand that this book is well sequenced and organized.

This author explains in rather a pleasant way this subject and gradually internalizes the students by attracting them to a more extensive regions of Computer forensics, as it is data analysis, reporting or computer investigations.

This is an important and interesting field, that is capturing the
attention of many professionals and envolves many disciplines, I just read the other day in one of those infamous blogs, "Computer Archeologists are using new and powerful computer forensics tools to examine and gain understanding of 'lifted data' that apparently was written 25 years ago." Nevertheless, this author seems to have made all the efforts to bring comprehensiveness by illuminating fundamental relationships,** not only between computer history and cyber crime, if not among many issues surrounding the applications of the fourth amendment and the understanding of the limits of government decency.

The management of these seemingly intricate relationships is crucial for our immediate future, as a nation, experiencing a yet unexplored global economy which is using extensively and intensively the eCommerce over intranets, internets and the Internet, and as a nation, which some how needs to preserve the individual freedoms and leadership that rightly so, has been acquired through all its years of existence, with hard work, determination and within the framework of its fundamental democratic values.

The author closes this book by looking at the world's future issues with respect to cyber crime and even gives us routes by which we could answers most of the urgent and pressing dilemmas of our digital epoch. Do you want to know the answer, well read the book yourself and find out what this book offers.

In conclusion, this book is readable, manages and balances many aspects of this new subject, besides it seems as a good starting point and a splendid reference, from which any student can continue to build their expertise on computer forensics and Cyber crime.

** [even the use of technology to commit crimes is well referenced by this book, I observed a photograph of Bonnie and Clyde, who used then the recently invented automobile for outsmart the police of their times, p.

Sadly Dated.......2004-10-19

This would have been a superb book if it had been published in 2001 or so. Coverage is wide and quite detailed -- unfortunately, it appears the research for the book was done in 2000 (that's the publication date of the msot recent references in the bibliography)and a lot of things have changed since then.
The chapters on case law and the actual process of collecting and analyzing evidence are excellent and serve to whet our appetite for an up-to-date book with that kind of detailed coverage.
Insofar as many of the best principles in evidence collection and anlysis are the old ones, this book is quite useful but it is certainly not a state of current practice presentation.

Book Description

McKeever gives us a comprehensive survey of thermoluminescence, an important, versatile, and widely-used experimental technique. Bringing together previously isolated specialized approaches, he stresses the importance of the solid state aspects of the phenomenon and links these to applications in dating, dosimetry, and geology. The book contains chapters on analysis and special properties, on instrumentation, and on the variety of defect reaction--using the alkali halides and SiO2 as examples--that can take place within a material to yield thermoluminescence. Three chapters concerning applications discuss the features of the solid state reactions to explain some of the properties observed in practice.

Thermoluminescence of Solids - A Critical Discussion.......2000-03-31

As a Ph.D. student in the field of radiation protection and dosimetry I have read a lot of papers and books dealing with the theory of thermoluminescence. Based on this knowledge I consider Mc Keever's work "Thermoluminescence of Solids" as "the" reference book in the respective field. The book provides an excellent overview of luminescence phenomena in general - leading the reader from the theoretical background to applications. The theoretical part is dealt with in high detail but also understandable for graduate students with a basic knowledge of radiation physics and the physics of solids. The application part covers an overview of the most common TLD-materials and their usage. The different techniques of thermoluminescence dating are reviewed and can also be used as a summary for archeologists.

it is very nice.......2000-01-26

1- It is quit good book but it much better if you add separate chapter about thermoluminescence in glasses and other amorphous materials.

2- it is diffcult to type my comments on this book from reading only its content, sometimes the contents con not reflet a good picture about the main subject and vice versia

3-The different applictions of this phenomenon should be classified much better.

4-Finally, if I have this book may be I can type better report about it.

5- My best wishes

Book Description

In 1985 Ron Warren began collecting sock monkeys--those icons of American thrift and inventiveness that for generations have been hand-stitched from a pair of red-heel work socks. Years later he met photographer Arne Svenson, who, intrigued by the obsessive nature and growing size of the collection, began with equal obsession to document one by one its more than 1,800 examples. To convey the distinct personality imbued in each monkey by its maker, Svenson photographs them in the manner of classical black-and-white portraiture: flatteringly lit, cropped at the shoulders, eyes to the camera. The first 200 of these sock monkey portraits, reproduced larger than life as full-page duotones, are assembled in this book. Invited contributors, including novelists Jonathan Safran Foer, Neil Gaiman, and Dale Peck; entertainers Penn & Teller; and fashion commentators Simon Doonan and Isaac Mizrahi, have interjected short stories inspired by the subject of their favorite sock monkey photograph. The result is an engaging, humorous, and at times disturbing reanimation of creatures long relegated to the attic or the back of the closet.

absolutely adorable..........2007-01-19

what a crowd pleaser! I gave this to my friend for Christmas and it was such a hit. its unexpected and charming and some of the pictures just make you laugh out loud. its a great coffee table book. they have such personality, and you can tell that some of them have been really loved over the years. I recommend this book to anyone that has ever been a child....

Sock Monkey Love.......2007-01-05

When this book arrived, it was perfect timing. Sick at home, I couldn't have asked for a better pick-me-up when UPS arrived with my Sock Monkey book.

Although I was hoping the photos showed the monkeys in various poses vs. portraits, the portraits are all so cute that it made up for my disappointment. (I'd love to see the author shoot them in various situations.)

The text is cute, and the photography is top notch.

If you're a sock monkey fan, this is a must have for your library. Makes a great coffee table book too - especially since it looks very hip (not childish).

Show a little sock monkey love and pick up a copy!

love it! but i don't know what the other two are talking..........2003-10-14

about... there isn't much to read in this book, it is just pictures of sock monkeys and a few page silly stories... but i love the pictures. a great great quirky coffee table book! i am gonna buy more so i can give em to friends.

Charmed by old socks.......2003-03-29

Sock Monkeys is a charming way to spend an hour or two. The book shows you why the authors fell in love with them. I defy anyone not to experince a covetuous pang while reading this book. The essays are as various as the pictures, elegant, sad, clapped out and the old fashioned heartbreaker. I'm sorry I didn't buy two copies. Now I'll have to spring for another shipping charge so I can have a copy on hand to give to a friend in need of a shot of delight.

the dance of the dreaming sock monkeys.......2003-03-29

The book is better than better. It's monkeylicious! Have you ever heard the tale of the monkeys? If you haven't you must buy this book. It will be the best reading experince you've ever had.
Thank you for listening.
