Yet another excellent publication that I would like to recommend. Professional WAP presented by Wrox publications (ISBN 1-861004-04-4). This book has become my number one (and possibly only) source for this wireless and mobile internet protocol.
"2000 is the year of the wireless web. The advent of a technology that allows us to access Internet content and services via mobile phone is revolutionizing the way we think about computing. WAP is the first step along this road, and with the advantages that m-commerce and 24-7 accessibility can bring, developers will need to get to grips with this new technology in order to stay one step ahead." --Professional WAP
Although the mention and idea of WAP is completely new to me, with a little assistance from this book, I've been able to understand that the quote above will hold solid. One could almost summarize the technology as one giant “Money making machine" for both consumers and the industry market. It will give us the power of the Internet via mobile phones and PDAs to have all that one could need in a pocket sized device. (read less)

This book was an absolute pleasure to read, cover to cover. “From now on I will divide the books I have read into two categories - the ones I read before Ishmael and those read after. “
It took only five pages to completely capture my interest and mind at the same time. Although it is a very rare occasion for me to read a novel, this book is simply more then just an entertaining story. It brings to focus a lot of questions that one should be asking every single hour. How do things come to be this way? How did man become man? Who has knowledge?
Go, Read it - now!
"Man's destiny was to conquer and rule the world, and this is what he's done--almost. He hasn't quite made it, and it looks as though this may be his undoing. The problem is that man's conquest of the world has itself devastated the world. And in spite of all the mastery we've attained, we don't have enough mastery to stop devastating the world--or to repair the devastation we've already wrought.
— Danel Quinn; Ishmael" (read less)

"Economy is the art of making the most of life." --Gary Becker
Author Charles Wheelan put this book together for, i assume, people like myself who are hesitant to apply economics in every day use. Written to avoid lengthly mathematical formulas, Wheelan really did an excellent job of breezing over just about every topic I've encountered when dealing in economics and placed those topics into practical usage. With great pleasure I can state, Naked Economics is Czar approved!
