This book provides the information you need to make effective hardware choices, including coverage of system components, upgrades, and new systems. It covers hardware for current and emerging technologies, including wireless LANs, ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) and cable TV networks, and digital video. This is a book both for people who will be opening up and working on their computers and for people who want to understand what goes on inside a computer. You’ll see what’s inside, what the pieces do, how they work, and how they’re connected. You’ll learn what determines the performance of your computer, what your options are for more performance, and how to add new capabilities to your computer.

First published in 1991, revised in 1996, and here presented in its third iteration, this six-volume reference is written for high school students and lay adults and is intended as an authoritative, accessible source of information about all fields of science. Arrangement of some 2,000 entries is alphabetical, and, somewhat redundantly, each volume devotes 19 pages to an alphabetical listing of all topics in the set. the subject index is in volume 6. Unfortunately, a thematic listing of entries is not provided. This deficiency makes it difficult to determine how material has been selected or balanced among the disciplines and to understand what types of entries (e.g. biographies, animal descriptions, diseases) predominate. Each signed entry includes a short listing of books, periodicals, and other resources, as well as cross references-- which could have been aggregated to prepare a thematic index. Key terms are highlighted in bold type (a distraction for some readers). handily, definitions are included in boxes within the articles, but a comprehensive glossary would have been useful. Photos (most in color) and some diagrams support rather than dominate the text.

The present book borrows heavily from earlier editions, but with significant exceptions. It contains a completely new survey of the Vietnam War that brings the story down to the advent of the All-Volunteer Army and incorporates much of the significant recent scholarship on that still-debated chapter in our nation's military past. It also includes a new bibliography and a list of suggested readings for the young student officer. In effect, this revised edition of the textbook represents a blending of the work of some of the Army's best historians over three decades.
