Negative Positive
Title: Academic book for everyone
Review: The author uses this book as a reference for her class at university training, and you can see this in the documentation and bibliography that is at the end of the book, each single fact, issue and thing explained is documented with references. No "hearsay" documentation or unverifiable "factoids" but a true, full and comprehensive documentation about all the aspect of security. And this is the second strong point of this book, the fact that cover ALL concerns security, not only computer related issues. Couple this two very good things with a very good writing style and a very readable matters and what you have is maybe one of the best book about security that money can buy. If you are searching a book about specific matters (i.e. Cryptography) this book is not for you (too generic) but if you need a definitive resource for all the aspects of security this book is for you.Only problem is that, after reading it, you can become a little paranoid...
