	The Collapse of the Kyoto Protocol and the Struggle to Slow Global Warming (Council on Foreign Relations Book)
	By: David G. Victor ISBN: 0691120269 Publisher: Princeton University Press Release Date: 26 July, 2004 Bioscience book rank: 809658	David Victor presents an interesting story with one major omission which tends to disqualify the book completely.<p>Blithely assuming that emissions controls can reverse a modest climate change without as much as an attempt to understand the nature of the present climate trend, especially in a perspective giving at least some comprehension of why climate change constantly occurs, the book cooks up a lot or reasoning about nothing.<p>The cart is solidly before the horse and I suggest other transportation for those interested in the Kyoto conundrum. For many who favor taking action to control global warming, a book which points out the fatal flaws in the Kyoto Protocol is going to be somewhat unwelcome. However, David Victor makes a very compelling case that the Protocol is unworkable as negotiated. By creating an immensely valuable new financial asset (emissions permits) and a trading system, it opens up problems related to enforcement and monitoring, the protection of property rights under international law, the inclusion of "illiberal" governments with weak legal systems in the regime, and large politically unpalatable (and essentially unearned) transfers of wealth to Russia and Ukraine.<p>How does the system deal with a government, for example, which pockets its payments for selling emission permits, then pulls out of the regime when it ceases to be profitable? How are additional countries to be brought into the regime without giving them the incentive of very high "worst case" emissions targets? How do you create an asset which is allocated based on statistical data which may be imperfect?<p>[If anything, Victor is too optimistic about the ability to accurately monitor CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. As an example of this one needs only to look at Chinese coal consumption data, which has fallen by a rather implausible amount in the last half-decade, for reasons internal to China having nothing to do with Kyoto. Questionable official data (and the possibility of intentionally skewed data) for developing countries is a real impediment to their future inclusion in any regime.]<p>Certainly many will criticize Victor's proposed "hybrid" system, which combines elements of emissions trading and taxation, for being even more complex than Kyoto's "cap and trade" system, and for setting an absolute ceiling for permit prices rather than for emissions, but he does make a set of powerful arguments in favor of such a system.<p>Hopefully, this book will help produce a more informed debate about a very complex, and immensely important, set of issues. This book is clearly a "must read" for anyone interested in global climate change.
	Audiologists' Desk Reference Volume I: Diagnostic Audiology Principles Procedures and Protocols (Singular Audiology Text)
	By: James W. Hall, H. Gustav Mueller ISBN: 1565932692 Publisher: Singular Release Date: 01 November, 1996 Bioscience book rank: 511454	This book is a "gotta have" book especially for the new audiologists (AuDs) on the rise. This is a wonderful tool for those starting out as well as those already in the profession. This is a good book to have on hand. It has a lot of valuable information. It gets a bit wordy at times, although the authors have certainly tried to avoid that problem. For my money, Roeser's is my first choice (also the first one I look to for information) and this is my second choice. I own and use them both. As its title says, it is a real reference audiology text which provide you with important practice subjects, I think it is one of the most important audiology texts

	Content Networking: Architecture, Protocols, and Practice (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking) (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Networking)
	By: Markus Hofmann, Leland R. Beaumont ISBN: 1558608346 Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann Release Date: 15 February, 2005 Bioscience book rank: 521655	This is a fabulous book. It is well-written (enjoyable to read and sometimes even entertaining), well organized, and technically competent - it's a real delight. The book certainly is a keeper and a re-read for everyone who needs to understand how content is delivered over the Web/Internet. <br /> <br />If you're looking for a complete and detailed reference to the HTTP protocol, this is not the book for you. But if you're interested in learning and understanding the fundamentals underlying the Web and content delivery over the Internet, this is the book you want to read. Ever wondered why it takes seconds or even minutes to load certain Web pages or access audio/video files? The book does not only give the answer, but explains how these problems can be overcome. Hofmann and Beaumont focus on explaining the core principles and the fundamentals underlying these solutions, giving you a broad understanding that will be helpful and valuable for years to come. They master connecting the various dots and explain extremely well how all the little pieces fit together. When reading the book, your quickly feel that Hofmann and Beaumont know what they're writing about, that they worked in this field and have lots of "real-life" experience that mixes skillfully with their research background. Overall, an excellent book that should be on book shelf of everyone interested in the Web and in delivering content and services over the Internet. <br /> <br />Also check out their companion Web page at http://www.content-networking.com. <br /> While the specific protocols, interfaces, and languages used in content networking will continue to evolve and change, it is expected that the core principles and concepts underlying content networks will remain valid for a long time. Authors Markus Hofmann and Leland R. Beaumont have done an outstanding job on focusing on the principles and attempts to explain and evaluate content networking in this book. <br /> <br />Hofmann and Beaumont begin this book by explaining the notion of content networking and establishing the key concepts. Next, the authors explain the core principles that guided the design of the Internet, which leads into a discussion of how content networking is transported over the Internet. In addition, the authors show how Web caching is used to bring static content networking closer to the users and how this helps in improving content delivery over the Internet. They also include streaming media such as audio and video. Then, they deal with the question of how user requests actually get to the server or Web cache best suited to serve each user. The authors then introduce the new concept of peer-to-peer networks, in which the traditional client-server model of the Web is replaced with a federation of end-systems that help each other in delivering content networking. Next, they extend the notion of content networking to include delivery of interactive media, such as instant messaging. Then, they go on to describe Content Services. The authors continue by bringing you the various technologies and network elements together, and explain how they can be deployed to build content networks for specific needs. Next, they provide an overview of the various standards activities relevant to the field on content networking, and explain which efforts are on interest for each specific area. Finally, they summarize their journey through the evolution of content networks and attempt to provide an outlook of what the future might bring. <br /> <br />With the preceding in mind, the authors have done an excellent job of focusing this book on the architectures and protocols specific to content networks. At the end of the day, you, the reader, will still be involved in the evolution of content networking; but, the possibilities will still exceed the imagination. <br /> The Web or Internet offers access to content. But if you are a publisher of content, you might face problems in effectively disseminating this; especially if high demand is anticipated. Hofmann discusses existing and proposed ways that content can be delivered to the end user. <br /> <br />A big problem is of course bandwidth. Sending the same context to millions of users by sending out millions of identical messages is crude. Hofman explains multicast methods that perhaps you could use. If so, they can offer dramatic savings in bandwidth. <br /> <br />Another problem gone into at length in the text is time sensitive content. Specifically audio, and video and instant messages to a lesser extent. Under the current Internet Protocol version 4 [ie. the Internet as we know it], there is no inherent Quality of Service possible at a low level. Workarounds are possible [sort of] at higher levels. But maybe it will take IPv6 to fully handle this problem? <br /> <br />Hofman also goes into the issue of peer-to-peer networks being used to distribute content. Often violating copyright. But there are certainly other uses that avoid infringement.
