The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Handbook of Local Area Networks/2nd Edition Book With 1995-96 Yearbook':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
I was disappointed in the first few chapters. The topics were important, but the content was quite simplistic, and didn't even address the level of knowledge that managers would need to have. Slone's own article on the World Wide Web started to change my opinion: it was a good, basic backgrounder, although not really addressing the newest technology. The individual articles vary greatly in quality and usefulness. None are really very technical, although the best are technically informed. The primary audience appears to be technical or telecommunications management, rather than staff. Ordering and division of the individual pieces is not very clear. The two Frame Relay articles are in separate sections. (One is not much more than you would get in a standard sales seminar; the other is an excellent guide to choosing frame relay in comparison with other technologies.) In total, there is something here for pretty much everyone. Article topics include hubs, 100M bit ethernet, Internet connectivity, frame relay, remote access, the Web, CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture), desktop operating systems, servers, wiring, client/server, conferencing, hierarchical storage management, LAN analysis, and remote monitoring. As an overview of some of these technologies, it can be valuable, although there can also be a lot of wasted ink. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1997
