Great book for my MBA course in International Business. It is well organized, full of clearly defined principles, and loaded with case studies.

Having used Global Business Today, by the same author, in a prior class, I knew this author to be competent and complete. International Business (7th ed) is a continuation of that same completeness and competence. His writing style is somewhat dry, but he gets the point across. My problem is that Amazon failed to ship the "registration card," required to access online content, along with the supposedly new book. This may have been mishandling on their part. Essentially, if someone purchasing this book also wishes to use the online content, it will now cost an extra $30. A feature that would be free, if the registration card were in the book.

I tried to shop Amazon to save money, but I guess I will get all of my textbooks on campus from now on.

Editorial Review:

One way to compare International Business texts are to classify them as either descriptive or analytical. Descriptive texts describe in detail the internationalization process and answer the question How does a business go global/international? Analytical texts, like Hill, discuss the internationalization process but also address why businesses chose to go global and the managerial implications of the decisions. International Business, 3/e: 1) Explains how and why the worlds countries differ; 2) Presents a thorough review of the economics and politics of international trade and investment 3) Explains the functions of and form of the global monetary system; 4) Examines the strategies and structures of international business and 5) Assesses the special roles of an international businesss various functions.

Whether you're an administrator involved with DNS on a daily basis or a user who wants to be more informed about the Internet and how it works, you'll find that this book is essential reading. Topics include: What DNS does, how it works, and when you need to use it How to find your own place in the Internet's namespace Setting up name servers Using MX records to route mail Configuring hosts to use DNS name servers Subdividing domains (parenting) Securing your name server: restricting who can query your server, preventing unauthorized zone transfers, avoiding bogus servers, etc. The DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and Transaction Signatures (TSIG) Mapping one name to several servers for load sharing Dynamic updates, asynchronous notification of change to a zone, and incremental zone transfers Troubleshooting: using nslookup and dig, reading debugging output, common problems DNS programming using the resolver library and Perl's Net:: DNS module

This revised new edition makes it easy to find specific solutions for programming challenges.

With topics that range from beginner questions to advanced web programming techniques, this guide contains practical examples -- or "recipes" -- for anyone who uses this scripting language to generate dynamic web content. Updated for PHP 5, this book provides solutions that explain how to use the new language features in detail, including the vastly improved object-oriented capabilities and the new PDO data access extension. New sections on classes and objects are included, along with new material on processing XML, building web services with PHP, and working with SOAP/REST architectures. With each recipe, the authors include a discussion that explains the logic and concepts underlying the solution.

Not what I was hoping... 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I am a web designer tasked with learning Sharepoint to redesign my company's intranet. Learning how to brand and customize Sharepoint is no easy task. I took Heather Solomon's Branding class and have benefited greatly from the take-home documentation that she created. I was hoping this book would take the knowledge I already had and take it to the next level. I am not sure who this book is aimed for, but I doubt it was designers. There are whole chapters in here on basic design principles and how to use Photoshop. What? Anyone who calls themselves a designer better know that stuff already, imho. Those chapters alone leave me to think that programmers and techies were the intended audience, not professional web designers. The descriptions for how to handle tasks are cryptic and the associated screenshots are not in the layout with the text, they are often several pages over. As a mainly visual learner, as most designers are, this makes the book a massive pain to use. I haven't read every chapter yet, but as of right now, I am disappointed. If you really need to learn how to brand and customize Sharepoint, go to Heather's class and search the web for other folks who are having branding adventures-even little old me has a Sharepoint branding blog-we tend to share what we know pretty freely ;)

Editorial Review:

From the planning details to the steps to the considerations, understand how to design the perfect SharePoint implementation by applying the information in Professional SharePoint 2007 Design.

Understand how to use PhotoShop to design the graphics and template model for your site and learn how to integrate SharePoint themes.

Definitely not "All-In-One" 3 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book does a great job of helping you understand how networking works, but literally does not cover half of what's on the new Net+ 2007 exam. Read this book if you need to learn or review the basics, then get ANY book that came out in or after 2007.

Another Excellent book... 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Much like the A+ Certification book, this book is very easy to read and follow. After taking my A+ Exam, I hope to follow that up with my Network+ test. Mike Meyers is a genius with the way these books are put together...excellent work.

Editorial Review:

This is the book to have if you’re considering the Network+ certification. Within its informative pages, best-selling author Mike Meyers provides easy-to-understand coverage of the latest exam objectives. Prepare for the exam with the most complete study guide available. Identify key concepts and tools using informative graphics, use the objectives map to quickly find specific review areas, practice with chapter questions, and obtain need-to-know information with exam tips. The bonus CD-ROM contains a testing engine with questions found only on the CD. Plus, the book makes a great on-the-job reference once you’ve become certified.
