Sinopsis

Mac vs PC explores the epic battle between Apple's Macintosh and the IBM PC, a contest that fundamentally shaped the personal computer revolution. This book dives into not only the technical aspects of operating systems and hardware architecture but also the strategic business decisions that fueled this technology rivalry.

 
The book reveals how the PC's open architecture and the "Wintel" alliance allowed it to dominate, while the Macintosh emphasized a closed, vertically integrated system. The book details how the PC's licensing model fostered a thriving ecosystem, contrasting Apple's more controlled approach. It also highlights how both platforms shaped technological innovation, influencing productivity and communication.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, first laying the groundwork with introductions of key players and their visions, then examining the hardware architectures of the Macintosh and the PC. Finally, the book analyzes market positioning strategies employed by Apple and IBM, examining their advertising campaigns and pricing models.

 
By exploring the interdisciplinary connections among computer science, business strategy, and design, Mac vs PC provides a nuanced perspective on why the PC triumphed, a victory not solely attributed to superior technology. This book is valuable for anyone seeking insights into personal computer history, technology rivalry, and the dynamics of open versus closed ecosystems.

    There is a great confusion in the market concerning positions for project professionals, and it is very common to see advertising opportunities for Project Managers that require academic expertise, PMP certification and extensive experience in projects. 
    As well as vacancies for Project Managers where it is crucial that the professional has a great capacity to perform technical functions, such as software programming. These are just two superficial examples of how many people, especially the market is a bit confusing not only for the definition of the function name but mainly the functions to be performed by professionals. 
    One of the great motivators for this whole mess is that there is no official definition, formally recognized about positions for project management professionals for the market as a whole, even as the post of Project Manager is relatively new, when a few years ago "naming" was not used to these days.

    “Schott’s animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
    		 
    Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear.
    		 
    James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan
    		Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

    Bacteria in Daily Life

    The author provides a fascinating look at the emerging science of bacteriology at the start of the twentieth century including early progress in understanding and preventing diseases such as tuberculosis and diphtheria. The book also includes chapters on the spread of disease through close contact with infected persons as well as from contaminated drinking water and milk.  Water purification methods as well as the stability of various disease-causing organisms to extremes of heat and cold is discussed.  The final chapter includes a very interesting discussion of the development of anti-venoms for the treatment of snake bite and related poisons.   (summary by J. M. Smallheer)  
    NY Times Book Review April 4, 1903:Mrs. Frankland's book is a popular presentation in lively style of what the ordinary unscientific person should know of bacteria as they immediately affect daily life. She has managed to invest her subject with astonishing interest and to produce a work that any sane man or woman can read without weariness.  Beginning with Latour's discovery of the fact that yeasty fermentation is due to minute vegetable growths, she traces rapidly the development of bacteriological knowledge through the age of Victoria.  As a matter of fact the announcement of Latour's discovery and the accession of Victoria to the throne came very close together in the same year.Following this historical disquisition is a presentation in successive chapters of these subjects: "What We Breathe," "Sunshine  and Life," "Bacteriology and Water," "Milk Dangers and Remedies," "Bacteria and Ice," and "Poisons and Their Prevention."  The most practical chapter for the householder is that on milk.  The most novel and interesting is perhaps that on poisons and their prevention.  This chapter deals largely with snake venom, and its revelations are marvelous.  Next in practical value to the chapter on milk is that on water.  It is satisfactory to find the author assuming that boiled water may be regarded as sterile.  Interesting and important also is the fact that an analysis of many natural mineral springs shows them to be nearly free from bacteria.  The resistence of bacteria to cold is one of the most striking things set forth in the book, and the destructive power of sunshine is another.
