4-0 out of 5 stars good ref
A good reference book for InfoSec professionals.One of the few of this type.

4-0 out of 5 stars Handy But Not Very Exciting
'Dictionary of Information Security' is exactly that, a 200+ page dictionary of technical terms relating to computer security.There's no way to sugarcoat this and make it sound anything more than it is.If you are in the information security field you might find this useful to have on your shelf by your side or as a refresher for those technical tidbits but that's about it.Not a teaching tool, just a short reference book that does what it says it does.For that it gets a thumbs up from me.

****

2-0 out of 5 stars Good, but the info is free
On one side, this is a good book.

On the other side, ALL of the definitions are easily available on the net for free.

At google, just enter DEFINE:word to be defined, and wallah, you have the definition.

Not sure why anyone would want to pay for this book, unless they had a long flight where they would want to read.

5-0 out of 5 stars A clearly-written and accurate resource
You can find almost anything online, including a great deal of security information and even more misinformation. If you need information on a security topic you're unfamiliar with, you can, of course, scour through google results and hope what you're reading is accurate. Or you can use a solid and dependable resource from an author who writes well and knows his subject in depth, like Slade's book. Highly recommended.

4-0 out of 5 stars My mom always said look it up in the dictionary.
My reply would be, " If I knew how to look it up, I don't need a dictionary" Yes you can find all this stuff on the web even Rob has this book on the web. BUT you cannot get the feel for security terms by just defining one word. Take the time get the dead-tree version. It is worth the few dollars. ... Read more

Product Description
THE INTERNET GLOSSARY AND QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

Millions of people log onto the Internet for a journey into the World Wide Web.Now there is an Internet travel guide that will make their trip smoother and more productive.This 'Fodor's' of the Internet will teach them 'Internetese' and guide them through the realities and virtualities of on-line travel.

In the tradition of Alan Freedman's other books, The Internet Glossary is packed with up-to-the-minute definitions and crystal-clear explanations.It's the one book everyone will want at his/her side when venturing into cyberspace.

Written by long-time Internet veterans, this book decodes confusing Internet lingo and provides quick how-to tips for such crucial tasks as making the most of Web search engines, dealing with helper applications and plug-ins, and mining the vast stores of information around the Internet.

ALAN FREEDMAN (Point Pleasant, NJ) is president of The Computer Language Company, an organization dedicated to computer education and training for business and non-technical people.He is also the author of The Computer Desktop Encyclopedia (also Amacom).

ALFRED GLOSSBRENNER is the author of some 40 books on personal computers, on-line services, and the Internet.EMILY GLOSSBRENNER has nearly two decades of experience with computers and on-line communications, and she has written numerous books and articles on those subjects.Amazon.com Review
Computer lingo seems to be expanding about as fast as theInternet itself. The authors of this book provide an aid for those atrisk of getting lost in the language. That includes everybody with anontechnical background who suddenly has to do more than simply log onand check e-mail.

Those who find they must deal with theircompany's Internet sites or in-house intranets will find this workinvaluable in communicating with technical people, whether on theirown staff or from vendors. This is quite helpful when it's importantto know that the techie talking about ATM isn't discussing gettingmoney from the automated teller machine but making data move acrossthe network in Asynchronous Transfer Mode.

But Freedman and theGlossbrenners do more than provide definitions of the terms anInternet user or administrator is likely to fall across. They explainthe backgrounds of terms and phrases, making the work almost like amini-encyclopedia. For example, they not only define the term "bus"("a common pathway, or channel, between multiple devices"), but theyalso provide an illustration of the concept, clearly describe types ofbuses, and even explain why it's called a "bus" in the firstplace. They also conveniently divide the entries into alphabetic andnumeric, eliminating any confusion as to where to find, for example,32-bit processing (which is not a reference to a processor worth $4)or 6x86MX. --Elizabeth Lewis ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Updated, a fun way to learn basic vocabulary!
This is a real fun book with which you can learn basic vocabulary (clothes, animals,countryside, home, parts of the body, around town, useful expressions).

It contains games and puzzles like matching games, find the hidden objects, search a word, label the picture, etc. and tear-out flashcards to memorize the words. In the beginning, it has a pronunciation guide describing the sounds of Greek and of course it contains the answer key to check your progress.

In its new, updated version, this book now DOES include the gender of the nouns (you learn every noun with its article, which didn't happen in the previous versions of the book). It now also contains an accompanying CD that will help make pronunciation easier.

Vocabulary doesn't need to be a pain anymore with this book! (What a pity that they haven't published something similar for intermediate vocabulary!)
