The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water ReviewAs an editor in the pulp and paper industry, I'm aware of what our own industry is doing to use less water and recycle and reuse the water that it does use. But this book has given me a much broader view of the water issue thanks to Mr. Fishman's clever writing, excellent research, and fascinating stories drawn from his global travels. He has achieved the seemingly impossible by writing an entire book about the single topic of water, and making it fascinating reading. I'll never look at or think about water the same way again, and I've already found myself looking for little ways in which I can reduce my use of this precious resource.
This should be required reading for everyone.

Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Server Essentials ReviewThis book is not perfect, but the harshly negative reviews it's gotten so far are pretty much baseless. This is a book about Mac OS X Server. It is not a book about BIND or Apache or VPNs or any of the countless other services it is possible to run *on* Mac OS X Server. If you want to learn about the specifics of Apple's management utilities or are preparing for the Apple Technical Coordinator certification exams, then this is a fine book. If you know absolutely nothing about networking or server administration and want a book that's going to turn you into a sysadmin overnight, then you should definitely look elsewhere.Apple Training Series: Mac OS X Server Essentials Overview

Mac OS X Snow Leopard For Dummies ReviewThis book offers a beginners overview of the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Topics range from turning on the Mac to simple networking. Bob LeVitus does a great job touching upon most features of the new release. However the nature of the 'For Dummies' books are meant to be kept short and sweet. Some topics I felt could of been discussed in greater detail and some topics could of been slimmed down. He does constantly repeat that the built-in Help will answer most questions and that the Apple website offers a wealth of knowledge. I would liked to have read more on the security and less about the different ways to save a document. This book is very light on the technical workings of the operating system. Mr. LeVitus does include the keyboard shortcuts for everything though.
I am new to Mac's. I found this book useful. The chapter that discussed widgets I found was very informative. Two other chapters I thought were neat were chapter 22 - a list of useful Mac websites and chapter 19 - a brief chapter on how to troubleshoot hardware.Mac OS X Snow Leopard For Dummies Overview

iPad 2 Fully Loaded ReviewWhen the iPad first came out I resisted for what seemed like a lifetime, intent on holding off until the 2nd Generation was released. Well, needless to say with `encouragement` from friends and colleagues, resistance was futile and I eventually caved in and purchased an iPad 32Gb with WiFi and 3G.
If I'm honest, at first I was a little disappointed because you see I was expecting a WOW moment but didn't really get it. Sure, the screen was amazing for viewing photographs on but everything else seemed pretty much like, well...using a big iPhone really, however...
Alan Hess' first book on the iPad, "iPad: Fully Loaded" was a complete eye opener on what the iPad was capable of and how it could be used to it's fullest. The first book I've read from cover to cover in one sitting, in no time at all I was installing Apps (most of them FREE) that Alan recommended, converting my DVD's to watch on the iPad and so much more; now I was getting the WOW moment I'd expected!
So as you can imagine, when I heard that Alan had written a follow up book coinciding with the release of the iPad 2, it was a no brainer that a copy would be taking it's place on my bookshelf...well, my iBook Library anyway :)
The "iPad 2: Fully Loaded" is a book that kind of carries on from where the first book finished off. As you'd expect, the first couple of chapters or so cover the basics such as setting up your iPad, email, surfing the web and so on but then after that there's so much more to discover...
PART 1: CONTENT BASICS
Chapter 1: Operating System and File Types
Chapter 2: iTunes
Chapter 3: Photography
Chapter 4: Video
PART 2: ENTERTAINMENT CONTENT
Chapter 5: Electronic Reader
Chapter 6: Movies, Television and Music
Chapter 7: Magazines and News
This new book by Alan Hess is packed to the rafters with 288 pages of recommended Apps (again, most of which are FREE), hints, tips and techniques to help you get the most out of your iPad. You see the iPad is one of those gadgets that at first you'll maybe think `Why would I need one?' and that's only natural, but it's not until you actually get your hands on one and really start to put it to work for you that you realise how darned useful they actually are.
PART 3: INTERNET CONTENT
Chapter 8: E-mail
Chapter 9: The Web
Chapter 10: Social Media
Chapter 11: Web Browsing
PART 4: BUSINESS CONTENT
Chapter 12: Office Apps
Chapter 13: Notes and Lists
Chapter 14: Remote Desktop
In the previous book there was one section in particular that had it only contained that information I would have brought the book anyway, and that section was Movies. Well in this new book Alan's done it again by covering Remote Desktop; let me explain...
Imagine being able to view your computer screen as it is on your iPad, and not only that being able to open programs, access your hard drive/s and so on...basically remotely control your computer...pretty cool huh? Well, that's exactly what you can do and Alan covers this in great detail but more to the point shows how incredibly easy it is to do. I use this function alot for all kinds of things such as accessing files when I'm not in front of my computer to on occasion sorting something out for my wife on her computer, again when I'm not actually there!
PART 5: LIFESTYLE CONTENT
Chapter 15: Travel
Chapter 16: Hobbies
Chapter 17: Sports
Chapter 18: Education
IMPORTANT: One real important thing to note about this new book is that despite the title `"iPad 2: Fully Loaded" it isn't specifically for the iPad 2. Sure there are sections in there covering what you can do with the iPad 2's built in camera and video but that's where it ends..absolutely everything else is also relevant to the iPad 1.
Summary:
To put it bluntly..."If you have an iPad and you seriously want to get the most out of it and see exactly how useful and how much fun they can be, then get this book!" In fact, I'll go one further and say "Get both books!"... iPad: Fully Loaded [Link] and iPad 2: Fully Loaded [Link] because both have sections you're just not going to want to miss out on!
