The fun, expeditionary trek continues - this time through ÒThe Civilized JungleÓ Tropical Plants, Facts & Fun (Volume II)Ó. Once again, in an uncomplicated, simply written and sometimes humorous manner, Tommy introduces us to an array of his Òplant palsÓ all of which flourish in the ClarksonÕs spectacular, multi-terraced, tropical plant gardens in Manzanillo, Mexico. As before, his descriptions are such that we all can fast and easily understand their unique ÒpersonalitiesÓ, in addition to their physical requirements and applications as well as their traditional medicinal or culinary uses. These tropical plants, palms, trees, bushes, flowers, vines, succulents and more are presented via the colorful and descriptive word pictures he has ÒpaintedÓ, accompanied by stunningly beautiful photographs. He does so in ways that allows us all too easily, yet fully, appreciate their individual, unique characteristics or - as Tommy says - plant foibles! This is an easy - and fun - way to expand oneÕs awareness of some of NatureÕs most spectacular creations - the vegetation of the tropics. Like that which he so, earlier, effectively wrote in war-torn Iraq or from various natural disaster sites, he has striven to reach the soul of the subject and bare it to his readership. In approximately 750 words for each plant, Tommy has been able to capture the unique essence of each plant he describes and make it meaningfully appreciated by readers for their own use.

Thicker than I anticiapted
Format: Paperback
The encyclopedia of DNS books, meaning thicker than a phone book. I like the fact that this book is thick but so easy to read and follow along with. If you know nothing about DNS, this book makes it easy to learn about DNS. It starts with the history of DNS and then explains the hierarchy of the DNS tree. A must read if you want to improve your understanding of the internet and what happens under the hood for name resolution.

Best practical book on DNS and how it works
Format: Kindle
I was interested in finding out more about how DNS is deployed and operated in practice. The first few chapters in this book deliver very well in this regard. My motivation was to find out more about how a certain type of Internet attack -- the "open DNS resolver attack" -- works. Even though this book was written well before this attack became popular and well known -- and therefore the attack is not mentioned, let alone analyzed -- the book was still quite helpful to me.

One of the best books I've read on DNS and BIND
Format: Kindle
DNS is one of those concepts that is almost kept in mystery in the tech world. The knowledge seems to be passed by word of mouth, and there doesn't seem to be one good repository to go to as an information source. That is not to say that this book is all inclusive, no book can contain every piece of knowledge you need/desire, especially on such a complex topic. This book however does a phenomenal job of demystifying the subject and giving a good, practical understanding of how DNS and BIND work. I would highly recommend this book to anyone, whether it be the new network/sys admin who has just had complex networking needs dropped on his lap, or even the seasoned network admin who needs a good convenient reference on occasion.
