The Complete Guide for CPP Examination Preparation provides a thorough foundation of security concepts and practices. This volume does more than impart the information required for you to pass the CPP exam, in also delivers insight into what taking the exam is like, and provides an appreciation for the work and knowledge needed to gain CPP certification. The book addresses security management, investigations, protection of sensitive information, substance abuse, physical security, personnel security, emergency planning, management of a guard force, legal aspects of security, and the role of a security professional as a liaison with both management and law enforcement.

This book presents a unique combination of mobile robots and embedded systems, from introductory to intermediate level. It is structured in three parts, dealing with embedded systems (hardware and software design, actuators, sensors, PID control, multitasking), mobile robot design (driving, balancing, walking, and flying robots), and mobile robot applications (mapping, robot soccer, genetic algorithms, neural networks, behavior-based systems, and simulation). The book is written as a text for courses in computer science, computer engineering, IT, electronic engineering, and mechatronics, as well as a guide for robot hobbyists and researchers.

Why wait for Flickr to offer the features and functionality that you need when you can create them on your own Expert Flickr developer David Wilkinson guides you step-by-step through a series of software projects that show you how to build mashups using this popular photo service. He clearly explains the process of remixing Flickr on your own web site and then mashing it up. Along the way, you’ll learn how to take advantage of mashup technologies such as REST, Ajax, RSS, and JSON.
From finding photographs and illustrating news feeds to displaying your photos on Google(r) Maps, you’ll discover how to develop a wide range of projects using content from both Flickr and other sources. You’ll also gain the skills to design a variety of remixes and mashups that take advantage of Flickr’s core services. With the help of numerous hands-on examples integrated throughout the pages, you’ll understand how things work so you can quickly produce your own innovative applications.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies sold. Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better in both arenas. His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as from business challenges.

Before you can adopt the seven habits, you’ll need to accomplish what Covey calls a “paradigm shift”–a change in perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your “proactive muscles” (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and much more. This isn’t a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book. The concepts are sometimes intricate, and you’ll want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you’ll probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you’ll feel like you’ve taken a powerful seminar by Covey

del.icio.us has fast become part of the heartbeat of the Web, giving millions of Web users, both casual and hardcore, an online social network in which to collect, organize, and share their favorite web resources. Using a “hidden” underlayer of tools offered by del.icio.us, you now have the potential to tap into this social network and its rich data in order to expand your own website and applications to a whole new array of possibilities. This book will help you make the most of these possibilities by mixing your data and applications with other web services, and using your own innovative ideas to create something useful, unique, and perhaps even fun.

Expert developer Brett O’Connor skillfully guides you deep inside the del.icio.us API, and presents you with a variety of mashup fundamentals such as REST, XML, and Ajax. He shows you how to find and use the best technologies and techniques so that you can create your own robust mashups and remixes with the del.icio.us API and its data. Integrated through the pages you will find real-world examples that demonstrate how to apply this information when building your own cutting-edge website.

Good book for its purpose

While this book is focused more on administrative deployment and less on the actual functionality of 802.11, the reality is that this allows it to continue being valuable even though 802.11 networks have changed dramatically over the years.

If you want to understand 802.11 networks at a moderate level - technically - I would acquire the Wireless# official study guide when it becomes available from McGraw-Hill. If you want to understand 802.11 networks at an in-depth level, I would get the official CWNA study guide from McGraw-Hill and Matthew Gast’s 802.11 Wireless Networks, 2nd Edition. When you want to master 802.11 security, go with the CWSP official study guide and the Cisco Wireless LAN Security book (not just for Cisco - believe me). From a management perspective, this book still has some value, however, Matthew Gast’s book has an excellent chapter on this as well.
