brings you up to speed

i actually like when bands provide "singles" albums to bring you up to speed, especially if you're just getting into them in 2013.  when i saw they were playing with MUSE, i gave Biffy Clyro a listen, and though:t: "why have i never heard of these guys?"  so i bought Puzzles and Only Revolutions, as well as their older stuff with this "Singles" album to bring me up to speed.  When "Opposites" came out, i bought that right away too.

Lots of details , but still with still enough action to keep you on you're toes.  Great addition to the series .

There is so much information written over the many centuries, that is brought together here in this first book. I am finding it difficult to put it down. As a history fan, this fascinates me. It helps to put everything into perspective, and allows us a glimpse into his early years, that the church authorized canons do not allow, and that researchers and scholars have asked so often: "Why?" Why is this missing? Was it deliberately left out? I, for one will be waiting impatiently for the other two books.

I thought this book did a great job at getting me up to speed on C#.  I came from C++ and MFC development, so this definitely fit the bill for bridging me into C#.

Worth the read!

Fast paced, lots of names to keep track of.  Makes you wonder how much of that sort of thing really  goes on.

This is a very good book to get yourself caught up with many of the options you have in terms of doing your own thing on the web. I got a few ideas and am happy i read the book. Now i have to look deeper into the few ideas i got from this book and get to work.

Very detailed from the beginning on, if your already a scuba diver you would know most of the first few chapters. But makes for a great refresher.

This was a great introduction to one of the most interesting men in history.  I have become a fan of the author's ability to get to the heart of a historical figure, place or event.  I am a bit of history buff, but always learn from this author.  It is his writing style that keeps the pages turning.  Definitely read this book and the others like it that this author puts it out.  It is a quick read, and you actually learn something (even if you are an old guy like me). My son is now starting to follow the series (if a 17 year old is putting down the Xbox to read history, then you know it is a good read). Keep up the good work.

It gives much more details from an outside source, it gives you a little more detail of what went on in the games.

Well if you loved the first two, then you'll love this one. The book picks up speed pretty quick, but after 2/3 of the way in it starts to slow down a little, and you begin to wish he would just get to the point already. Just like the first two this one is filled with interesting facts, mostly about washington D.C., and has lots of twists and turns.

I'm not a big fan of 8.1 but this book got me to the point I can work with it. VERY informative- If you just got a new computer or upgraded to 8.1 this book is your best bet to help you figure out what's going on and the disc gets you going. Does it with a little added humor(which can be welcomed by a new comer to 8.1)

This book is a must read, but you better make sure that you read One Second After to understand the full back story. I read this book, like the first in just a few sittings and can not wait for the 3rd book in the series. This book will make you take a serious look into what is going on in the world today.

If you are not a person that ever had a real interest in history in your youth, but you feel that you would like to enlighten yourself with some fascinating information to keep your mind sharp when the grandchildren come around. Or maybe you just want to read a well written piece of nonfiction. If so, this is that book.  I've read it twice and love to relaunch myself into the eras of colonization through the reconstruction and so forth.  The author does a wonderful job at keeping the reader well informed and interested.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to further enrich their mind.

Once you start reading it , it is hard to put it down.  It starts off a bit slow, but picks up speed quickly.  Great book

i've been a heavy user of the internet for several years, I consider myself aware of data centers and optic cables under the sea. the author takes you to a journey through history and sheds light on how things came to be as they are now. I've been recommending this book to my tech friends.
