Simply no excuse by Aleksandr Levin (Pittsburgh, PA) 5 Stars
January 29, 2009
After reading Ron Bowman's Green Guide to PowerThe Green Guide to Power: Thinking Outside the Grid I was compelled to find any other texts this fresh author has written. There is no other author who could have written about cyberspace and continuity as a page turner that this turned out to be. A must read for anyone with enough responsibility to be curious about what our modern infrastructure really is, how it operates, and how it is planned. Aside from the responsible reader, if you are in the business world with no intention on leaving it, then there is simply no excuse to not read this book.
