The #1 Los Angeles Times bestseller from the host of NPR's Weekend Edition--"absolutely spectacular--wise and intimate, often funny, always touching" (Scott Turow)--now in paperback, In a beautifully written narrative that runs from childhood to adulthood through times of war and peace, Scott Simon movingly traces his life as a fan--of sports, theater, politics, and the people and things he holds dear. Sports Illustrated columnist Ron Fimrite says of Home and Away, "Rarely do you find in books of this genre a clearer look into mysteries and confusions of childhood . . . moving and often amusing portraits . . . insights into the complex and often corrupt world of Chicago politics, the city being this book's true protagonist. There are compelling scenes from Simon's years as a war correspondent, roving reporter, and political operative . . . There is also an emotional account of Michael Jordan's last championship season with the Bulls that is a book within a book . . . "The writing is uniformly superb. This is, in fact, a memoir of such breadth and reach it compares favorably with another book that is allegedly about the nature of sports allegiance, Frederick Exley's A Fan's Notes. And that, believe me, is saying something."Binding Type: Paperback

Great read. Tons of info.
Format: Hardcover
We really like this book. A great background and detailed info on this topic. Really like the real-world examples and application. Pretty exhaustive, as far as that is possible given the topic. Also, quite easy to read, although I confess that if from an engineer's perspective.

Under appreciated
Format: Hardcover
I have the first edition, and the 3rd (2020), and the 3rd. This book is a decent introduction to InfoSec, although it takes a few years and some experience to be able to truly appreciate it. I've probably ready it all, in prices, across 15 years and all revisions. It's a reference, it's a guide, that book is my best friend.
I think this book is a good guide for entry level folks who are looking for a comprehensive introduction to the field of computer security, and also to senior staff. Be it managers, directors, eng managers, internal audit and privacy professionals looking for a comprehensive introduction to Security relevant regardless of the particular technology they work with or industry they are in.
