Great Reference Book.......2007-09-03
I carry this manual with me all the time ... great reference book. Would highly recommend to anyone in the electrical business.
book content.......2007-05-13
This book is very informative, realistic, easy to understand and very up to date. I have recommended it to others in the field. If most technical books were like that we may hardly have need for tutors.
Thank You.

Good coverage of a subject most EE's don't study any more.......2007-02-06
I agree with everyone else who says that the number of errors in numerical calculations are unacceptable in this book. That is too bad, because if that problem was rectified this would be a great little overview of a topic not really taught to Electrical Engineering undergraduates anymore - power and power calculations. Most EE's that graduate today are more signal processing or computer engineers than pure electrical engineers, and being able to work with power if you stay on the technical end of things long enough is bound to come up.
The math is really all over the map in this book - many calculations only require basic math, others involve calculus, still others involve iterative numerical methods. In fact, chapter eight is pretty much dedicated to the subject of numerical methods. The author at least hits the high points of all aspect of power systems. There is a great deal of material on transmission lines as well as the calculations involved when working with underground cables. One chapter is dedicated to fault calculations and discusses how the operation of a power system departs from normal after the occurrence of a fault. Chapter seven develops general solution methods that are amenable to the computer solution of power system network problems. Later in the outline, the author gets into subjects involving heavier power including a good introduction to three-phase power. A final and very short chapter discusses how to protect equipment against abnormal currents and voltages. The author does a good job of introducing the reader to all of the symbols that you are likely to see on a power system diagram, and their meanings.
In spite of the errors in the numerical calculations, I'd still say it's a good buy for the price. You're not going to find a good book that even touches these subjects for under a hundred dollars. If the errors were cleaned up, this Schaum's outline would be an invaluable classic.
stinks and useless.......2007-01-10
This book should not be sold to students because it is no good. I felt like my money went down the drain due to the fact that the book is very stinks and useless.
I should get my money back because the book is helpless to me.
Excellent Book, .......2007-01-04
Worthy of being considered a book of the Schaum collection. Very good!
Wish I had read the reviews about the errors before buying........2006-09-09
Ok for review of power systems, However many typo's or errors. If I was Mr Syed A. Nasar I would be embarrased to have my name on this book. In the first chapter alone there are more than 10 errors. If anyone knows where to find the McGraw Hill errata page for this manual please post the URL, it will be a great service. If I find it I'll repost.
Full Revision Needed.......2006-03-29
In view of the fact that "Ideal for self-study!" is one of the Schaum's milestone assertions, one could expect that these kinds of books are fully revised before being published. Unfortunately, it seems they are not. Nasar's book sounds interesting, but it has too many errors. This is of no help for those who want to prepare a subject by their own. I recommend not to buy this 1990 edition.
Book Description
* A one-of-a-kind reference on constructing, operating, and maintaining overhead and underground electric transmission and distribution lines * New to this edition: expanded coverage of modern safety procedures and regulations; updates to OSHA, NESC, ANSI, and ASTM electrical standards * Heavily illustrated with over 1500 photos and line drawings

The Best.......2005-06-02
A must have book for any and all linemen and groundmen. This is the book you use to measure how long you have been in the trade. You buy one when you start and keep updating till you die. It would be nice to see some other text books for this subject but they would have a tough time keeping up. It is the Bible for Line workers
for all time - the Lineman's Bible.......2001-06-23
This book was first printed in 1928, well after the trade first put on climbers. Since it's first printing it has been THE textbook for the lineman's trade. It has been used in virtually every apprentice program and was the companion of self taught linehands from the '30s on. Frequently updated, it remains the one place a linehand, beginner to veteran, can go for help. It has progressed with the technology of the trade, the regulations and codes, the materials, and the processes for doing very dangerous work in well thought out procedures that enable electric customers to maintain their service and even be unaware of the work of the power lineman.
Excellent reference for Journeymen and apprentices........1998-10-02
This book is THE comprehensive guide that no Line man should be without. It is also an excellent source of information for anyone working with distribution and/or transmission system operation, construction, and maintenance.

Book Description
The spellbinding sequel to "Powers That Be," by Hugo and Nebula Award-winning authors Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough.
The natives of Petaybee claimed their planet was sentient, but the officials of Intergal did not believe them . . . or want to believe them. The planet was rich in valuable ore, and Intergal was determined to mine that ore no matter what the cost. Yanaba Maddock, once a company spy, was adopted by the planet and its people as one of their own. Now her loyalties are to Petaybee, not Intergal, and she is dedicated to keeping Intergal from killing the world she has come to love. But without proof of the planet's sentience, Intergal will proceed with its mining operations. Can Yana find a way to convince Intergal of Petaybee's sentience before it is too late?
Download Description
Yanaba Maddock's short-lived career as a company spy had ended the moment the planet Petaybee and its people had adopted her as one of their own. Now she was dedicated to keeping Intergal from exploiting and wounding -- or even killing -- the world she had come to love. For Intergal persisted in denying that Petaybee was sentient, and nothing would stop it from stripping the ore-rich planet -- sentient or not.
Only solid evidence would convince the company to leave the planet alone, and for all its sentience, Petaybee's communications were highly subjective; indeed, some outsiders seemed entirely immune to its voice. So Yana and her friends would have to find some other way to prove that the planet was worth more to the company alive than dead...
"Power Lines is a strong, highly entertaining sequel... Nicely paced, with a tricky twist or two to keep it from getting too predictable, and some delightful characters."

Enjoyable!.......2006-03-19
I absolutly loved this book, it was one of those books you just can't put down. Its plot was stable and developed well, and was easy to follow. On a whole, I enjoyed the book and I can't wait to read the next one!
i LOVED this series.......2003-07-28
i personally loved this series. maybe its because i could relate to the story more easily than to a world of dragons, not that i didnt love the Dragonriders of Pern. however, Petaybee was different. I absolutely loved the series, although sometimes the plot is a little shakey and some parts of the story dont match others.
Not even close.......2002-04-23
Had to give this one a minimal rating to balance out the other reviewer. If that individual thought this was a gripping and emotionally powerful book, they must be 12 years old, or extraordinarily poorly-read. The plot development is clunky, the morality is ham-fisted, and the characters are one-dimensional. This is NOT McCaffrey's best work. In fact, it's the worst McCaffrey I've ever read. Do not buy this series. If you must try it, borrow it from your local public library.
The most moving and gripping science fiction story I've read.......1996-11-08
I've read many sci-fi stories but this is the first I'veread that expresses the idea of a sentient planet. This sequalto " Powers that Be " plays with ideas and blends native american belifs with adventure and wild stories. Yanaba is a strong character and you feel as if she's your best friend. Clodgah Senunkut is the most caring person I've come across in my reading.Bunny, Diego and 'Cita are great compliments to the story. And Sean gives Yanaba a love so strong it makes your tears come to your eyes. Anne McCaffrey is a master in her element and truly knows what she's doing.

A Good Book for Power Users.......2006-09-12
Running Mac OS X Tiger
A No-Compromise Power User's Guide to the Mac
By Jason Deraleau, James Duncan Davidson
If you are a power user on another platform, or a dedicated Mac user that wants to learn more, "Running Mac OS X Tiger" covers several topics that will help you understand and control your Macs at a much deeper level. Each chapter contains details on a topic, and includes ways of handling the given topic from both the familiar Macintosh graphical interface, and from the terminal (the command line).
My two favorite chapters, chapters Six and Eight, titled "Users and Groups" and "Files and Permissions" delve into issues that mystify and plague many Mac users. If you've ever had trouble creating, moving, or deleting a file on a Mac, you'll now know why, and how to get around these issues.
As the subtitle of the book suggests, this is not a book for beginners. Topics that may seem simple, such as Chapter 10: Printing, contain a vast and dizzying amount of information. This level of detail is both the strength and weakness of the book. Oddly, some things are explained at great length and in simple terms, yet at other times advanced topics seem to be glossed over in a cryptically geeky shorthand style of writing. This may not be an issue to those who are already power users on other systems (Unix, Windows), but it may be daunting to a Mac user looking to step up to the next level. Thankfully, the end of each chapter includes a "Further Explorations" section, which may help lift users up.

IT'S GRRRRRR--EEEEEEAAAAAAT!!.......2006-05-13
Are you a user or power user of Mac OS X? If you are, then this book is for you! Authors Jason Deraleau and James Duncan Davidson, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that will help you master the latest version of Mac OS X.
Deraleau and Davidson, begin by discussing how the Mac OS X system operates to this day. Then, the authors show you how to get going with Tiger and help Tiger get going on your Mac. They continue by examining diverse tools and how they work together to form Apple's next-gen OS. Next, the authors show you how to use the Terminal and how to configure the various shells on the system. Then, they look at what gets executed when and what the various boot options are. They also dive into the question of why there are multiple users on the system and why they are gathered into groups. Next, the authors show how Open Directory works and how to modify data contained within it. Then, they explain the various attributes and permissions that a file can have and how to work with them. The authors continue by giving you the lowdown on the different kinds of filesystems you can use and the pros and cons of each. They then give you a detailed look at how printing works, and how to use print servers, how to connect with Windows-hosted printers, and even how to share your ink jet printer with Windows users. The authors also show you how the networking system works including wireless, spontaneous networking, and Internet Connection Sharing. They continue by covering the Console, System Profiler, Activity Monitor, and many other tools as well as give you the skinny on what to look for in your system's logfiles. Next, the authors dive into using Automator and other tools for automating your Mac. Finally, the authors show you how to modify preferences stored in the system in a variety of ways.
In this excellent book, you'll learn how to get the most out of the pretty GUI. You will also learn how to dive into the Unix layer of the system to take fine grained control when you need to.

Excellent book.......2007-01-22
As a Windows author myself I tend to be very demanding when I look for books about the Windows operating system. I was overly pleased with both the book's content and presentation. This book never even found my bookshelf. It has a permanent home on my desk.
Great Technical Writer.......2005-08-10
Brian Knittel gets an A+ from me for being one of the most lucid technical writers I've ever read. I'm a social worker by day and a hobbyist at night who likes to tinker with the command-line. I have found the book easy to understand. Chapters are well laid out with ample reference sections. kudos!
delivers.......2004-08-21
This book opened my eyes as to the command line power that Windows actually has. Unix user may turn up their noses but even they have to admit WSH is pretty cool and smashes some of the traditional stereotypes about Windows only being for the technically challenged. The book does a good job of preparing you to start scripting in an MS environment.
Worth every cent you are going to spend.......2004-03-12
This book is perfect overview of VBScript and Scripting Windows XP. Author explains every aspect of Scripting without going into too much of details. Beginners will probably need additional info. But if you ask me nobody could do better job explaining of so many topics in one book. There are plenty examples you could use right away on the PC.
Thumbs up!!!
OK - But there are much better options.......2004-02-27
1. I find the organization of the book fairly difficult to follow. It just doesn't flow for me (can't figure out why the topics are organized as they are). Clearly this is a personal preference thing - but the following books all felt more clearly organized to me:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Scripting Guide
Managing Enterprise Systems with the Windows Script Host
Windows 2000 Scripting Bible
2. There's a lot of text, but not that much concrete/applicable information. I like books that teach by doing - lots of short/sweet examples to illustrate the points. This book seems to have repurposed a great deal of MSDN documentation to describe the detail of functions and objects, but isn't really laid out as a reference. It feels like an unhappy marriage of reference book and how-to.
3. There are a number of frighteningly basic/obvious errors in the book - which pretty much ruin the credibility of the author. Just a few examples:
3a. COM is defined as Common Object Model (it's Component Object Model)
3b. CIM is defined as Common Interface Model (it's Common Information Model)
3c. Knittel says all CIMv2 objects start with Win32_ (clearly not the case)
4. There's very little on WMI (Knittel himself says "...this chapter gives the barest introduction to WMI".
5. Knittel's command-line section doesn't address WMIC at all, which is inarguably the MOST powerful command-line tool introduced in Windows XP.
It's not terrible or totally wrong, I just don't think it's as approachable, as deep, or as credible as the books mentioned above.
