Description ,review and table of contents of Building Online Stores with osCommerce: Professional Edition : Of course, it also wasn't long before someone figured out how to make money from the Web and naturally everyone jumped on the bandwagon. Enter the dotcom boom and bust! Unfortunately, for the Internet and consequently Internet-based businesses, the dotcom fiasco hurt a lot of people who perhaps, buoyed up by bullish sentiment from investment houses and brokers who understood all too well the amount of money they stood to make, invested in something they didn't fully understand. At the time, very few Internet-based businesses had shown that they were reliable, stable, and profitable. Nevertheless, the money kept flowing in and the new technology companies kept spending it—on what, no one was quite sure. However, when the bubble burst, not all Internet initiatives collapsed. Some came through it a little worse for wear, but far more resilient, and many more learned valuable lessons about how to approach this new platform for commerce and trade. It is a testament to the exceptional value of the WWW that despite the massive losses made initially on this technology, it is now more or less taken for granted that businesses of any size require a presence on the Web: if they don't have one yet, they are going to have one soon.

Product Description: Citizenship under Fire examines the relationship among civic education, the culture of war, and the quest for peace. Drawing on examples from Israel and the United States, Sigal Ben-Porath seeks to understand how ideas about citizenship change when a country is at war, and what educators can do to prevent some of the most harmful of these changes.
Perhaps the most worrisome one, Ben-Porath contends, is a growing emphasis in schools and elsewhere on social conformity, on tendentious teaching of history, and on drawing stark distinctions between them and us. As she writes, "The varying characteristics of citizenship in times of war and peace add up to a distinction between belligerent citizenship, which is typical of democracies in wartime, and the liberal democratic citizenship that is characteristic of more peaceful democracies."

Product Description: The fourth edition of 'Unix Unleashed' will take a different tack from previous editions and other Unix books:It is readable as though it is a series of lectures on individual topics from Unix Wizards. This different approach will take the reader through the following topics:Basic operation of the system and system administration in its simplest form: managing users and disks, starting up and shutting down the system, authenticating user connections, and administering the X Window System.
Common subsystems - the typical day-to-day tasks of system administration: sharing files, providing basic web services, printing, e-mail, and backing up the system.
The Unix toolset to make system administration more reliable and more powerful, and to administer more complex and important systems running on top of Unix.
System administration as a profession: much work needs to be done not to do the job in a purely technical sense but in a practical, real-world sense.

Ontologien haben durch die aktuellen Entwicklungen des Semantic Web große Beachtung erfahren, da jetzt Technologien bereitgestellt werden, die eine Verwendung von Ontologien in Informationssystemen ermöglichen. Beginnend mit den grundlegenden Konzepten und Ideen von Ontologien, die der Philosophie und Linguistik entstammen, stellt das Buch den aktuellen Stand der Technik im Bereich unterstützender Technologien aus der Semantic Web Forschung dar und zeigt vielversprechende Anwendungsbiete auf.
Das Buch richtet sich an alle Leser, die ein grundlegendes Interesse an Ontologien als Teil moderner Informationstechnologien haben und sich einen Überblick und schnellen Einstieg in das Gebiet verschaffen wollen.

Buchrückseite: Rückmeldungen aus Lernstandserhebungen, die innerhalb der Einzelschule als Instrument der Reformen im Bildungssystem eingeführt wurden, können als "empirische Wende" der Erziehungswissenschaften gewertet werden. Diese Umstellung der Steuerungsstrategien von input- auf outputorientierte Modelle wurden bisher kaum theoretisch integriert oder in empirischen Forschungsarbeiten umgesetzt. Viola Hartung-Beck analysiert diese aktuellen Reformbemühungen aus Sicht der Schulen und Lehrkräfte anhand zweier qualitativer Fallstudien an Gesamtschulen. Aus einer interdisziplinären Perspektive der Sozial- und Erziehungswissenschaften wählt sie einen theoretischen Zugang über die soziologische Analyse der Folgen zentraler Lernstandserhebungen. Schulinterne Kommunikations-, Professions- und Organisationsstrukturen, die Einfluss auf den Umgang mit Lernstandserhebungen besitzen, werden aufgezeigt.

Product Description: The most widely debated conception of democracy in recent years is deliberative democracy--the idea that citizens or their representatives owe each other mutually acceptable reasons for the laws they enact. Two prominent voices in the ongoing discussion are Amy Gutmann and Dennis Thompson. In Why Deliberative Democracy?, they move the debate forward beyond their influential book, Democracy and Disagreement.

Description ,review and table of contents of Theory of Computation TEXTS IN COMPUTER SCIENCE : Most of the course is concerned with computational complexity, or the classification of computational problems in terms of their inherent complexity. This usually refers to time or space usage on a particular computational model, but may include other complexity measures as well, such as randomness, number of alternations, or circuit size or depth. We include a rigorous treatment of computational models, including deterministic, nondeterministic, and alternating Turing machines, circuits, probabilistic machines, interactive proof systems, automata on infinite objects, and various logical formalisms. Also included are various approximation and inapproximation results and some lower bounds.

Description ,review and table of contents of STRATEGIES FOR THE Green Econmy OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES IN THE NEW WORLD OF BUSINESS : This isn’t merely a marketing or public relations question related to your company’s environmental image. It’s about the fundamental nature of your business: how it operates, what it does and sells, and how it interacts with a wide range of people both inside and outside the company walls. It’s a question that companies increasingly find themselves asking, whether they are large or small, offer products or services, or sell to consumers, other businesses, or anyone else. In many cases, companies don’t fully understand what it means to have a green strategy. They just know they need one.

Description ,review and table of contents of COMPUTER NETWORKS PROBLEM SOLUTIONS 5th EDITION : An error in the header is much more serious than an error in the data. A bad address, for example, could result in a packet being delivered to the wrong host. Many hosts do not check to see if a packet delivered to them is in fact really for them. They assume the network will never give them packets intended for another host. Data is sometimes not checksummed because doing so is expensive, and upper layers often do it anyway, making it redundant here.

Product Description: Leading scientists, clinicians, and clinical investigators comprehensively review the epidemiology, molecular virology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chronic hepatitis caused by the B and C viruses.

Attention is also given to the treatment of patients with concomitant autoimmune disorders, the management of HIV co-infection, and the management of HBV/HCV co-infection.
