Who would have thought he could be someone who would kill his own baby and wife. I am going to tell everyone who will listen to buy this book for their own safety. It will open your eyes!
Reading This Book May Have Saved My Life!.......2005-04-03
This book has so much valuable information for everyone. I used to walk to my car alone after work late at night, but not anymore! I never realized the danger involved and how someone could actually be watching and learning my habits before attacking me. This book made me think twice and taught me what to watch for to be safe. I will forever be indebted to the author for teaching me and I believe reading this book may have even saved my life. You will not be disappointed if you buy this book - I am going to buy many more copies of this book to give as gifts to the women I know.
Book Description
Expert Service-Oriented Architecture in C# 2005, Second Edition will immerse you in updated code and reference material specifically architected for Visual Studio 2005 and Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 3.0. With this book, you can get a head start on building SOA applications using the clear, conceptual discussions and practical examples provided by SOA experts Jeffrey Hasan and Mauricio Duran. The authors give fair treatment to difficult material without just glossing over it.
Most .NET-based web services are simply containers for limited RPC-style methods. This book will show you how to shift your development paradigm to create web services that process sophisticated XML messages within a secure, service-oriented, loosely coupled architecture. You'll gain deep insight into the newest release of the WSE toolkit, as this book blends theory with ample C# code samples and teaches you how to implement SOA solutions based on specifications like revised WS-Security, WS-Policy, and WS-Addressing. You'll want a copy of this second edition because
- The spirit of the second edition follows that of the successful first edition, providing clear, conceptual discussions and practical material, with unambiguous samples.
- Approximately 60% of the book has been updated, including rearchitected code and updated visual materials using Visual Studio 2005.
- The second edition is more focused on implementation by policy--rather than code--as a more efficient means for implementing solutions.

Ignore the hype, buy for WSE 3.0.......2007-03-31
If I could rate the first half of the book separately from the second half, I'd give the first half 1 star, because it's filled with junk and hype and stupid marketecture assertions about magical things that services do that ordinary components don't. Most of these assertions are simply false, the kind of "selling-it" nonsense that usually accompanies a bleeding-edge technology. Thing is, the edge isn't bleeding for Web Services or SOA any more, and we can see through the hype pretty clearly, but Hasan hasn't caught up. So the first half of the book is pretty useless, just as it was in the first edition.
On the other hand, also just like the first edition, the second half is amazingly useful, dead-on practical, and totally hands-on. It's probably the most coherent summary of WSE 3.0 around, so the second half should get 5 stars. If you need to know how to get anything in WSE 3.0 up and running (and you should if your Web Services actually do anything significant), then the second half of this book is the first place you should look.

"I've had the luxury--if you can call it the luxury," says Hakim Hasan, "of working in the formal economy, and of working at certain companies that required a certain level of training, however rudimentary, and a certain level of education." Instead, he chooses to sell books from a table on the sidewalk in New York's Greenwich Village. Soon after he met sociologist Mitchell Duneier, Hakim described himself as a "public character," and sent Duneier scurrying to reread Jane Jacobs's The Death and Life of Great American Cities to find out what he meant.
That moment was one of Duneier's inspirations to spend years studying--getting to know, really--Hakim and other book and magazine vendors on his patch of Sixth Avenue. Sidewalk explains much about the street vendors: How did this become legal? Where do vendors obtain their merchandise? How do they interact with potential customers? When do they find time to go to the bathroom (and, for that matter, where do they go)? But it's ultimately about the people themselves--quoted at length from Duneier's tape-recorded interviews and photographed by Ovie Carter--as they do their best to live successfully on their own terms, with all the good and bad consequences that entail. Some of these people (almost all men) are drug addicts, yes, and some of them choose to live as "unhoused" individuals. But many of them find a strong sense of purpose and identity in their work and choose to live in ways that best facilitate that work; they are as motivated--more, perhaps--as workers holding "respectable" office jobs. Nonacademic readers may glaze over at some of Duneier's longer explanations of his methodology, and he seems occasionally overapologetic when quoting the uncensored language of his subjects, but few books succeed at plunging the reader into a community and delineating the character of its members as Sidewalk does.
Book Description
An exceptional ethnography marked by clarity and candor, Sidewalk takes us into the socio-cultural environment of those who, though often seen as threatening or unseemly, work day after day on “the blocks” of one of New York’s most diverse neighborhoods. Sociologist Duneier, author of Slim’s Table, offers an accessible and compelling group portrait of several poor black men who make their livelihoods on the sidewalks of Greenwich Village selling secondhand goods, panhandling, and scavenging books and magazines.
Duneier spent five years with these individuals, and in Sidewalk he argues that, contrary to the opinion of various city officials, they actually contribute significantly to the order and well-being of the Village. An important study of the heart and mind of the street, Sidewalk also features an insightful afterword by longtime book vendor Hakim Hasan. This fascinating study reveals today’s urban life in all its complexity: its vitality, its conflicts about class and race, and its surprising opportunities for empathy among strangers.
Sidewalk is an excellent supplementary text for a range of courses:
INTRODUCTION TO SOCIOLOGY: Shows how to make important links between micro and macro; how a research project works; how sociology can transform common sense.
RACE AND ETHNIC RELATIONS: Untangles race, class, and gender as they work together on the street.
URBAN STUDIES: Asks how public space is used and contested by men and women, blacks and whites, rich and poor, and how street life and political economy interact.
DEVIANCE: Looks at labeling processes in treatment of the homeless;
interrogates the “broken windows” theory of policing.
LAW AND SOCIETY: Closely examines the connections between formal and informal systems of social control.
METHODS: Shows how ethnography works; includes a detailed methodological appendix and an afterword by research subject Hakim Hasan.
CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY: Sidewalk engages the rich terrain of recent developments regarding representation, writing, and authority; in the tradition of Elliot Liebow and Ulf Hannerz, it deals with age old problems of the social and cultural experience of inequality; this is a telling study of culture on the margins of American society.
CULTURAL STUDIES: Breaking down disciplinary boundaries, Sidewalk shows how books and magazines are received and interpreted in discussions among working-class people on the sidewalk; it shows how cultural knowledge is deployed by vendors and scavengers to generate subsistence in public space.
SOCIOLOGY OF CULTURE: Sidewalk demonstrates the connections between culture and human agency and innovation; it interrogates distinctions between legitimate subcultures and deviant collectivities; it illustrates conflicts over cultural diversity in public space; and, ultimately, it shows how conflicts over meaning are central to social life.

A Bird's Eye View.......2006-03-17
This is a book with fine photography by Ovie Carter. However the impression given by the author Mitchell Duneier is the New York City sidewalk vendors are only poor African Americans. Granted he focuses on one specific group and location in Greenwich Village. The book is well written as a study of that vending. He describes that particular group in great detail. It would have been good if he had shown or emphasized something about the street vendors who are not necessarily poor in a thriving Harlem. In addition there is a potpourri of nationalities of street vendors throughout New York City including Asian, South Asian, African, Hispanic and white Americans. Without this kind of framework Duneier reinforces a negative stereotype of African Americans in New York City.
This book opens your eyes to life as a street vendor.......2006-02-25
Mitch Duneier's ethnographer about the life of street vendors on Sixth Avenue was compelling and myth-shattering. Some of the misconceptions about the men of Sixth Avenue are disspelled and retold through their words. I was established impressed with the afterword by one of the most interesting street vendors from the ethnography. The book came higly recommended, and I would definitely recommend it to any and everyone.
Brand new!.......2006-02-25

An academic book that doesn't read like one..........2005-02-22
Very enlightening and readable. There were a few methodological shortcomings, but nothing that seriously detracts from this well-done work.
Interesting lives.......2005-02-10
I had to read this book for a college course. I thought it was going to deal with the homeless situation in general, but the main focus was on unhoused men in Greenwich Village selling (mainly used) books for a living. I thought Duneier did a rather good job and got some valuable information on these men's backgrounds and outlooks on life. The book is illustrated with many photos to enhance the overall vibe. Maybe I was looking for something more general on the homeless, not a specialized underground economy in such a unique setting. But it was still very interesting nevertheless.
Book Description
As the outward and visible symbol of Islam, mosques can be found in all parts of the modern world. The mosque remains central to Islam, serving as the focal point for Muslim communities around the globe. This book, with contributions by sixteen eminent scholars, traces the history and development of the mosque since its origins in Medina and Mecca in the time of the Prophet Muhammad, explaining its traditional religious and teaching role in Muslim society as well as its architectural and decorative features. In the course of its spread from its origins in Arabia, Islam often took over and adapted existing places of worship and styles of building as it gained a foothold from Spain and sub-Saharan Africa to China and Indonesia. The development of the mosque and its architecture is presented region by region, taking into account local building material, climatic factors, and craft skills, as well as major historical events such as the rise of the Ottoman and Mughal Empires.The physical form of the mosque is analyzed and illustrated with plans, elevations, and photographs, and its modern role as a religious and social institution is reviewed in the light of political developments. Contemporary mosques worldwide are discussed in a separate chapter, encompassing both those built by leading Muslim architects such as Abdel Wahid el-Wakil and Hassan Fathy and those built by Western architects.Richly illustrated with material drawn from a wide range of sources, this book provides comprehensive coverage of the architecture of the mosque, and it serves as an invaluable guide to an understanding of the mosque's role in Muslim society and culture throughout the world. With texts by Mohammed Arkoun, Mohammad Al-Asad, Antonio Fernández-Puertas, Martin Frishman, Oleg Grabar, Perween Hasan, Mark Horton, Hasan-Uddin Khan, Do~gan Kuban, Luo Xiaowei, Gülru Neçipoglu, Bernard O'Kane, Hugh O'Neill, Labelle Prussin, Ismail Serageldin, and Wheeler M. Thackston. 378 illustrations and photographs, 170 in color.

REALLY GOOD........2006-03-29
THIS BOOK HAS REALLY NICE PHOTOS OF DIFFERENT MOSQUES IN THE WORLD OF ISLAM. MOST OF WHICH ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL. ONE CAN SORT OF EXPERIENCE THE PASSION THAT THE PEOPLE MUST HAVE FOR THEIR RELIGION AND LIFESTYLE BY VIEWING THE ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY OF THESE MOSQUES.
good but could be even better.......2004-05-07
The title is right and the books gives you a lot of not very deep information. But good as kind of catalogue. Authors missed a lot of regions. They took only well known to westeners. Somw great monuments are missed as well. But in general I would recommend to buy it for people who are interested in architecture and/or Islamic culture. Good photos.
The Mosque.......2001-07-23
On opening "The Mosque", most readers are likely to wonder that such a book has not been attempted earlier, for the topic is so obviously suitable for comparative study. The editors and their fourteen collaborators explain the mosque as an expression of Islam, analyse the characteristic styles of nine regions ranging from West Africa to China, and then report on the contemporary scene.
The last topic may be the most original and important, for Westerners are far more familiar with the celebrated mosques of the pre-modern period than with those of the twentieth century. Oleg Grabar and Mohammed Arkoun provide typically brilliant insights while Khan surveys the architectural variances ranging from the pseudo-classicism of the Islamic Center Mosque in Washington, D.C. to the astonishing modernism of the Sherefuddin Mosque in Bosnia.
Too often, in a specialized field such as Middle Eastern studies, a reviewer finds himself lamenting the excessive prices of books. How refreshing, then, to be able to compliment Thames and Hudson for including 378 illustrations, 170 of them in color, and yet charging very little more than the average scholarly book. This pricing decision brings The Mosque within the means of individual purchasers-and even pressures them to buy the book to prove that moderate prices do in fact lead to larger sales.

Book Description
This is a pocket handbook on mechanical ventilation (both positive and negative pressure ventilation) and other measures of respiratory support such as nitric oxide and extra-corporeal life support (ECLS) for patients with respiratory failure. Guidelines for both pediatric and adult patients are provided. The emphasis is on the practical aspects of the bedside management of initiating and maintaining patients on various types of respiratory support at different stages of illness. All of the boring theoretical aspects are omitted. Handy quick reference tables and diagrams are presented to facilitate utilization of the information. The handbook is best suited for the busy medical student, intern, or resident on-call. Other professionals such as respiratory therapists, physician assistants, and nurses may also benefit from this handbook. It fits nicely into a pocket so that it is always readily available when the need arises.

Ok to learn some terminology.......2007-04-12
I think the book was ok to get some basic terminology, but I felt it lacked any practical substance that would be useful, particularly for pediatrics
great service.......2006-07-03
I am very happy with them, they did great job. I got my book in few days.
Great little guide!.......2006-02-25
This guidebook will fit nicely in your lab coat and won't weigh you down. Packed full of helpful information on Mechanical Ventilation!
Great Book for All Health Care Professionals.......2004-01-23
I found this book to be the most beneficial with respect to understanding respiratory care. I am currently a Pediatric resident in Nevada. This book helped me on several occasions when I was on call and I am grateful to the authors. The book contains all relevant material and omits unnecessary detail that other books have had in abundance. This book could be frustrating for someone who has no understanding of ventilator support, however, would be more than adequate for any health care professionals including nurses, respiratory therapists or medical students looking to tie up the loose ends. After I purchased the book, several other residents I work with opted to purchase it as well. Good luck!

Book Description
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) is the next big step in evolution for Web services. This book is the first to educate people about SOA, and to introduce them to the technologies that they can use today, prior to the release of Indigo. It will introduce them to a new architecture and will help them realize why Web services are such a big deal (beyond today's popular but very limiting focus on using Web services primarily for RPC method calls). This book will contain a mix of theory combined with ample C# code samples that will show the reader how to implement SOA solutions using a wonderful mix of technologies. It will teach people about SOA today while preparing them for SOA tomorrow. This is applicable to all systems running Windows 2000 or higher.

A great introduction to Web Services.......2007-10-03
In my opinion, you must know a bit of C# to really get everything in this book. But the game is very well written and make a complete intoduction into the Web Services. I only had problems while coding the authentication examples, the rest, worked great. A must have if you are getting into the service oriented architectures.
Good tutorial and reference literature!.......2007-03-08
I bought this book for one purpose. To learn SOA and WSE basics fast.
My background is senior software engineer and I've been working with .Net Web projects but not SOA. I was able to implement a WS Secure conversation between a web client and a web service in two weeks. Both using a common WS Policy document. The book gave me the basics, the understanding and the ability to implement WS Security. Though I recommend also to use the code examples provided by apress.com site related to this book.

A Sorely Needed Book for our Camp - SOA Must Read for C#/.NET.......2005-10-02
This is the only book I am aware of that will show you how to correct all the inherent design issues (in terms of reaching an SOA) in using the 'default' Microsoft implementation of Web Services. It is astounding how many of my consulting customers I see who either don't know the WSE exists or know it exists but are reluctant to introduce change and stick with RPC style intrinsic Web Services in the base .NET releases. They lose SO MUCH and it is my job typically to move them to where this book describes (and I use it daily).
To do SOA correctly, it takes a shift in mindset that Microsoft does not really educate you on. Even the WSE documentation does not cover this. There must be other sources but I have not found them (to be clear I mean with such a Microsoft Focus - there are others but they don't have the details about the WSE 2.0 we need and he even shows how this can be done without the WSE in the beginning of the book - but I recommend using the WSE 1,000%).
For an SOA the XML-Schema is so important for both input and output of your richly defined services. As this book describes, UML is a create starting point (and the best tool I have found is an amazing tool called `Sparx Enterprise Architect' which goes from UML to XSD seamlessly).
1) If you are going to try to use Web Services, consider the SOA approach (they are absolutely not the same. WEB SERVICES != SOA by default)
2) This book will literally walk you through how you can make WEB SERVICES == SOA
3) It is not easy. Many are used to just adding a project and throwing an attribute on a method. You have MUCH more work to do, but the benefits are described in this book and they are well worth the effort unless you are doing trivial things with these technologies.
I know for a fact this will all get easier with VS 2005 (now a release candidate!) but for now, we must resort to these techniques (they are not all THAT bad). I know of at least one company that will make all this much easier (cannot say due to NDA but email me and I will see if I can get permission).
My clients often don't even know where to start, and they also fail to understand the importance of the WS-I for interoperability and what exactly an SOA is. Many believe it is just Web Services. I spend as much time educating as coding. Although this book is not really about interoperability, the WSE 2.0 SP3 today is required to reach WS-I interoperability (see the patterns and practices sample app on this), which is another reason you want this book.
In addition to this book (think in terms of 'Operational' - Code, 'Tactical' - Mid-Level Planning, and 'Strategic' - Longer Term Company Strategy) this is both an Operational and Tactical book. The strategic level leads us to Indigo. Well WSE 2.0 and WSE 3.0 are promised to get us there. So if you are still not using WSE 2.0, wow, just the fact you are not using the TCP channel and loosing all that potential performance is enough. But you are also not on the `train' of compliance Microsoft has made very clear and you are outdated, plain and simple. WS-I compatibility and a true SOA are motivations enough. If you are not using WSE 2.0 today (or 3.0 if you are using VS 2005) then you are loosing massive amounts in 'opportunity cost' and likely real cost.
See my recommend book list for more options and again, feel free to contact me for more info.

Never judge a book by its cover.......2005-06-23
A very disappointing book. After reading the back cover and flicking through I expected much more.
Despite what you might think the core of the book is actually how to configure security and policy for web-services almost a hundred pages is given to this topic.
Given that WSE is a "plugable" architecture there are no real examples of how to go about plugging in anything. Don't get sucked in like I did by thinking that this book will have some information on showing you how to plug in MSMQ as a transport, as in too many cases in this book this topic is out of scope.
This book should have been called "An Overview of WSE: and the current state of WS standards in .Net".
Book Description
To be accredited, a power electronics course should cover a significant amount of design content and include extensive use of computer-aided analysis with simulation tools such as SPICE. Based upon the authors' experience in designing such courses, SPICE for Power Electronics and Electric Power, Second Edition integrates a SPICE simulator with a power electronics course at a junior or senior level. This textbook assumes no prior knowledge of SPICE and introduces the applications of various SPICE commands through numerous examples of power electronic circuits. The authors emphasize the techniques for power conversions and for quality output waveforms, rather than accurate modeling of power semiconductor devices. This textbook enables students to compare the results with those that are obtained in a classroom environment via simple switch models or devices. Not only a supplement to any standard textbook on power electronics and power systems, this volume can also be used as a textbook on SPICE. It suggests laboratory experiments and design problems, and presents complete laboratory guidelines for each experiment. This text can also be used as a laboratory manual for power electronics, with its design problems serving as assignments for a design-oriented simulation laboratory.
Book Description
Arabs and Young Turks provides a detailed study of Arab politics in the late Ottoman Empire as viewed from the imperial capital in Istanbul. In an analytical narrative of the Young Turk period (1908-1918) historian Hasan Kayali discusses Arab concerns on the one hand and the policies of the Ottoman government toward the Arabs on the other. Kayali's novel use of documents from the Ottoman archives, as well as Arabic sources and Western and Central European documents, enables him to reassess conventional wisdom on this complex subject and to present an original appraisal of proto-nationalist ideologies as the longest-living Middle Eastern dynasty headed for collapse. He demonstrates the persistence and resilience of the supranational ideology of Islamism which overshadowed Arab and Turkish ethnic nationalism in this crucial transition period. Kayali's study reaches back to the nineteenth century and highlights both continuity and change in Arab-Turkish relations from the reign of Abdulhamid II to the constitutional period ushered in by the revolution of 1908.
Arabs and Young Turks is essential for an understanding of contemporary issues such as Islamist politics and the continuing crises of nationalism in the Middle East.

Late Ottoman Attempts at Survival.......2003-07-27
This book boils down to an examination of the aims of the Committe for Union and Progress after the end of the reign of Abdülhamid and the second constitutional experiment--all of which embody the last ditch efforts to revive the moribund sick man of Europe. As the title connotes, this is done with a particular emphasis on how the CUP/Young Turks viewed the Arab provinces; therefore, issues surrounding the turkification (better: centralization) of the late Ottoman empire and its relation vis a vis nascent Arabism and fading Ottomanism.
Kayali forms his work as a counterargument against the view that would describe the reforms of the Young Turks as motivated by the desire for the aggrandizement of Turkish ethnicity and language--prefering, rather, to see the actions of the CUP as an attempt to centralize and consolidate Ottoman authority, albeit by employing the Turkish language and emphasizing Ottoman interests over local ones to do so.
A note on the inclusion of "Islamism" in the title: the author throughout uses the term Islamism in what would appear to be a anachronistic fashion, being that it is rather tenuous to speak of Islamism at all until after the Second World War. Kayali plays fast and loose the term "Islamism" as meaning any gov't project that takes recourse to Islamic rhetoric. It's inclusion and usage in the book appears, then, to be a gimmick. Anyone looking for insights into Islamism, being mass populist political movements based on religious soiidarity, would do better to look elsewhere.
Great Book.......1999-06-18
It's really hard to find books about this subject. If you are really interested, i recommend you to read this book. (not: kitabýn türkçesi tarih vakfý yayýnlarýndan çok daha ucuza temin edilebilir.)
