This absorbing book explores the possibility that the Atlantis story represents a distortion of a number of myths and legends already present in the ancient Greece and Egypt of the time. Putting more emphasis on Diodorus Siculus' account of the Atlantians, who places this people somewhere in Africa, is it possible that the island Plato spoke of was actually present in a lake not far from a large mountain? Piecing together the key details given in Diodorus, is it possible to identify these features in the Africa of today? In a fascinating piece of historical detective work, the author is able to reveal to the reader precisely how a legend was born.

FreeBSD is by far the most popular version of BSD(r), the legendary operating system that has contributed a great deal to every version of Unix(r) in use today (including Mac OS(r) X). Originally a community effort by the University of California at Berkeley, FreeBSD was aimed at making Unix a little friendlier and easier to use. By the time other free operating systems came along, BSD was firmly established and very reliable. And it continues to be today. For seven years, the FreeBSD community has relied on Greg Lehey's classic, The Complete FreeBSD, to guide them through its configuration and administration. The 4th edition, covering version 5 of FreeBSD, is now available through O'Reilly Community Press. The Complete FreeBSD is an eminently practical guidebook that explains not only how to get a computer up and running with the FreeBSD operating system, but also how to turn it into a highly functional and secure server that can host large numbers of users and disks, support remote access, and provide web service, mail service, and other key parts of the Internet infrastructure. The book provides in-depth information on installation and updates, back-ups, printers, RAID, various Internet services, firewalls, the graphical X Window system, and much more. Author Greg Lehey is a member of the FreeBSD core team and has been developing, documenting, and advocating for FreeBSD for nearly ten years. Whether you're an experienced Unix user or just interested in learning more about this free operating system and how you can put it to work for you, this do-it-yourself BSD documentation will provide the information you need. The Complete FreeBSD is the second release in the O'Reilly Community Press Series. Unlike classic O'Reilly animal books, which are created to fill an information void, the Community Press titles provide convenient printed copies of documentation that is already available online. O'Reilly's role in the series is limited to providing manufacturing and distribution services rather than editorial development, so that each Community Press title reflects the editorial voice and organization of the community that has created it.

In the 1850's a Scotsman comes to California with a new bride to build a new home and start a family. Tragedy strikes the entire family. The first born daughter is institutionalized for mental illness, the wife dies in a questionable accident and the patriarch begins to sexually abuse his second daughter. Eventually the patriarch is murdered in his bed. Strange things begin to happen in the house and eventually both his daughters commit suicide. In the 1960's a college psychology professor and a chosen number of his students investigate manifestations in the house. When one of the students dies in the house, the investigation is called off. Then in the 1990's the deceased students mother confronts the professor and tells him that her child is not at rest and begs him to re-enter the house and correct this. He brings together some of the former students he had before plus two others to go back to the house, but they find the house more trecherous and deadlier than ever before.
Santa is in an institution. The good elves live on food rations in Old Town. The reindeer are mentally bent. The Herald Angels are powerless to bring corruption to the forefront in their newspaper. Can two humans save the North Pole and destroy the sinner's paradise that Jack Frost built? With melted snowmen on the take, a nutcracker-toy soldier army, ostracized elves and some reindeer bent on the North Pole's restoration, join the revolution to save Christmas. Reader discretion advised. This is a Christmas tale for adults. Bad language and sexual situations, not to mention the destruction of nearly every Christmas icon that we hold dear.

Most web designers fail because the business owner did not lead them properly. Business owners know their businesses best and need to guide their website designers in creating websites that rank well. This book not only teaches business owners how to get high visibility on the search engines, it teaches them what to do once visitors land on their websites to convert those visitors into paying customers, phone calls, or walk-in traffic. The best news? Natural search engine ranking is more effective than advertisements and, better yet, free. Book author Greg Bright uses an up-to-date, non-technical approach to motivate small business owners to get proactive in their internet marketing - written in layman's terms. "Most books on Search Engine Optimization and Internet Marketing are written by techies for techies, in daunting technical jargon." Grow Your Business Online - Fall 2008

One of the most tragic stories of the 1990's rock world was that of singer Shannon Hoon, and his band, Blind Melon. Despite scoring one of the decade's most enduring singles and videos, "No Rain,"and a quadruple platinum hit with their 1992 self-titled debut album (in addition to touring alongside rock's biggest names), Hoon could not overcome a dangerous drug addiction. Only two records into a promising career, Hoon was dead from an overdose at the age of 28. 'A Devil on One Shoulder and an Angel on the Other' is the first book to tell the group's story--culled from over 50 exclusive interviews (including the surviving band members and those closest to the band) and featuring many never-before-seen photos. "I am honored that Greg has painstakingly accounted for what the hell happened during those crazy times. He has summed up all the chaos, jubilation, and paranoia that is Blind Melon." -Brad Smith, Blind Melon bassist
