Not worth the time...
This book is definitely of poor quality. You will walk away from the experience feeling very frustrated if this is your introduction into networking.

Excellent Preparation
I am multi-certified and also teach networking technology. This book is a very good introduction to networking and very well organized and reasoned.

The Human-Powered Home: Choosing Muscles Over Motors
Tamara Dean

New Society Publishers, 2008

What if I could harness this energy? An unusual question for anyone putting in a long stint on a treadmill perhaps, yet human power is a very old, practical, and empowering alternative to fossil fuels. Replacing motors with muscles can be considered a political act-an act of self-sufficiency that gains you independence. The Human-Powered Home is a one-of-a-kind compendium of human- powered devices gathered from a unique collection of experts. ...
