books about: command     books:       Command Decision (Vatta's War)27 reviews Elizabeth Moon Del Rey, 2008 Ms. Moon is in Command A good series just gets better. Her ability to write epic stories in multiple volumes is well proven. This is space opera at it best. Note to the new comer. This is truely a serial story and you do need to start at the begining.             Destroyer Captain: Lessons of a First Command17 reviews James G., Adm. Usn Stavridis Naval Institute Press, 2008 Five Stars for a Four Star You...will...love...this...book. But only if you want to know of honesty, humility, humor, the courage of everyday acts of service by others, and the peaks and valleys of leadership. Not to mention wonderful writing, anecdotes, and insights by a distinguished military commander writing as a young officer, a decade and a half before pinning on the four-stars of an admiral. If you want a great ...             It's Your Ship: Management Techniques from the Best Damn Ship in the Navy113 reviews Michael Abrashoff Business Plus, 2002 Common sense... not a common book As a ten year Navy veteran, I was riveted to this book for it's common sense approach to leadership. There are many books available today about management but damn few that focus on great leadership. That's where this book's niche is. It's a quick and very interesting read. As I was going through the book I kept thinking "why don't more leaders act this way"? The answer, unfortunately, is ...             A Practical Guide to Linux(R) Commands, Editors, and Shell Programming43 reviews Mark G. Sobell Prentice Hall PTR, 2005 A book that will help you become a Linux command line guru This is a book that I have been looking for for a long time. I have been looking for a book that takes me into the command line world of Linux but in a methodical way describing all the little options, tips, tricks but also the principles that make Linux shell so powerful. Book begins with a brief history of Linux and very informative, relevant overview of the system architecture. It ...             Ubuntu Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Ubuntu and Debian Power Users8 reviews Christopher Negus, Francois Caen Wiley, 2007 Just found this one. I just picked this book up at a local Borders (cheaper here, btw). After looking through their entire section trying to find an up-to-date book on Linux commands for the purposes I wanted, I chose this one. Although Ubuntu is often called "Linux for Human Beings" or "Linux for non-geeks", I wanted to get geekier with the command line and have better control over my Ubuntu PCs. This book is ...             The Last Command (Star Wars: The Thrawn Trilogy, Vol. 3)151 reviews Timothy Zahn Spectra, 1994 Thrawn Meets his End In many cases, a reader or viewer of Star Wars can anticipate what will happen in a story before it even starts. One expects the Rebellion/New Republic to be victorious in the end. This does not make the plot any less interesting. One has a vague idea of how the Thrawn Trilogy will end. Still, it is a quality read. As Thrawn's plan begins to unhatch in "The Last Command", his relationship ...             It's Our Ship: The No-Nonsense Guide to Leadership6 reviews Captain D. Michael Abrashoff Business Plus, 2008 IT'S OUR SHIP I'm a big fan of Captain D. Michael Abrashoff's leadership methods and his books. His latest, IT'S OUR SHIP - The No Nonsense Guide to Leadership is the third in a series based on his command tour aboard USS BENFOLD (DDG65) and building on his experiences with leaders in the business world. In this third book, I see Michael's growth as an author and as a leader. The third book includes some ...             Shadow Command: A Novel11 reviews Dale Brown William Morrow, 2008 on a par with his other books. The story was great The characters are like old friends. I await each of his books with great anticipation and have read some of them more than once.             Linux Pocket Guide33 reviews Daniel J. Barrett O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004 Does what it says at a price you can't argue with. This is definitely a great companion for any Linux administrator or hobbyist who is trying to become a level 60 command line warrior. There are plenty of commands to familiarize yourself with, and they are grouped logically (rather than alphabetically), which means that when you look up a command, you can find other similar commands in the same section. This book was written with Fedora Core ...             CCNA Portable Command Guide (2nd Edition) (Self-Study Guide)19 reviews Scott Empson Cisco Press, 2007 Great experience This guys were great. Timely delivery and the item was in better condition then I thought. Will use again on next purchase.             Small Unit Leadership: A Commonsense Approach22 reviews Dandridge M. Malone Presidio Press, 1983 Well written I am thoroughly satisfied with this book. Despite any descriptions that claim it is useful to civilian leaders I find that unlikely. The author even spends time in the first chapter to describe how very little of its contents are useful to civilian leaders and why. If you are interested in military leadership it is an excellent book. Though written by an Army Colonel who speaks specifically ...             The Special Ops Workout: The Elite Exercise Program Inspired by the United States Special Operations Command19 reviews Stewart Smith, Mike Mejia Hatherleigh Press, 2003 Outside Workouts If you're tired of heading to the gym to workout, these exercise programs will give you a fresh routine you can do outside.             Microsoft® Windows® Command-Line Administrator's Pocket Consultant (Pro - Administrator's PC)29 reviews William R. Stanek Microsoft Press, 2004 A must for every Windows system administrator and power user This is a book that every Windows system administrator and every Windows power user should have. Stanek is widely and justifiably known as an expert in Windows administration. In this terse volume, he shows just how powerful the commnd line is in Windows and how to take maximum advantage of that power through direct commands and scripting. He does, in fact, provide a short and very effective ...             Windows PowerShell in Action18 reviews Bruce Payette Manning Publications, 2007 The Powershell Bible This is the only Powershell book you will ever need - until 2.0 comes out anyhow. Even then, this book builds the groundwork for using Powershell to automate all types of tasks and will be usable far into the future. I've used it to write a couple of Powershell applications so far and it's been worth every penny I paid already. After years of scripting in Windows shell, Perl, and some brief work ...             Fedora Linux Toolbox: 1000+ Commands for Fedora, CentOS and Red Hat Power Users5 reviews Christopher Negus, Francois Caen Wiley, 2007 A very good deskside book! This book is a very good desk side companion. This is not your typical "power users" book that is just a raw dump of a ton of esoteric commands that go in one eye and out the other. It is actually useful commands put into an understandable context, organized by classes of activity. I've been using Linux for many many years yet I'm learning, and using, new things from this book. I would highly ...             Patricia Va a California Blaine Ray Command Performance, 2001             Unix in a Nutshell, Fourth Edition13 reviews Arnold Robbins O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2005 Another great O'Reilly book For those of you with the "animal" bookshelf, this is one of the better books to own. Lots of the stuff you need to know, but can never totally remember is here.             Mega Man Star Force 2: Wave Command Card Kit: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) Prima Games Prima Games, 2008 • Over 270 collectible cards to enhance Mega Man 's various skills, experience and gameplay tactics. • Exclusive removable Touch Command Overlays for your Nintendo DS. • Touch Command System explained in detail. • Every card stat broken down from attribute to rare features to help take down the newest UMAs.

This is an important book. It is well researched, easy to read, and most of all timely. It is not a book for the hard core left or liberals in general whose unifying principle is a rejection of biblical authority. It is timely because, however softly it has come upon us, we conservatives no longer feel free to make our points from Scripture. But why should this be so when for most of American ...             Big Book of Apple Hacks: Tips & Tools for unlocking the power of your Apple devices (Hacks)4 reviews Chris Seibold O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2008 This is the book I've been waiting for! I'm not through reading this yet, but I'm definitely impressed and happy to have it. This is not just the typical collection of "Tinker Toy" type stuff - yes, there's some of that here, but it goes way beyond and even gets into hacking hardware. I feel like a kid in a candy store.. yes, yes, there's stuff here you'll find all over the web, but there are also hacks and tips I have never seen ...              search for books administrator, approach, california, captain, command-line, commands, commonsense, conservative, consultant, decision, destroyer, exercise, inspired, leadership, lessons, management, microsoft, no-nonsense, nonsense, nutshell, official, operations, patricia, portable, powershell, practical, programming, self-study, techniques, unlocking books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
