Product Description
HP-UX Internals introduces readers to the "under the hood" aspects of the HP-UX operating system. The book illustrates the kernel data structures and algorithms used to provide process/thread scheduling, I/O control and system resource management. Both hardware dependent and hardware independent data structures are examined and explained. The topics covered help readers approach system administration, tuning and troubleshooting from a more informed perspective, and challenge them to make more effective use of their HP-UX systems. The material is focused on the HP-UX 11i (version 1.0) release of the HP-UX operating system, but includes some historic aspects of its development to establish and understanding of its current incarnation. ...

HP-UX 11i Internals (Hewlett-Packard Professional Books)
If a deeper understanding of HP-UX is required, then I strongly suggest the "HP-UX 11i Internals," with 432 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Chris Cooper, January 22, 2004.

The first level is the HP-UX Certified System Administrator (CSA.)

There is a new version, "HP-UX CSA : Official Study Guide and Reference (2nd Edition,)" with 1072 pages of material for concepts from 2004 by Rafeeq Ur Rehman, August 25, 2004.

The "first version" book, "HP Certified: HP-UX System Administration," with 832 pages of material for concepts from 2000 by Rafeeq Rehman May 31, 2000. This book, still holds its value as shows in the pricing.

A very good text on kernel level
I have read other books related to UNIX internels but this is the first one specific to HP-UX. The auther has done the job very well. It was interesting to see internal data structures. I would recommend this book for people who want to understand HP-UX in depth.

Very detailed, excellent presentation
This is a very thorough, well-presented text covering the "guts" of HP-UX.It is packed with excellent diagrams, kernel structures, syscall details, and pretty much everything "under the hood."All this is presented clearly: sufficient high-level overview to provide the "big picture", followed up with the very fine details.adb and q4 are used throughout, along with many illustrative examples and sample output.

This book is truly invaluable. ... Read more

Long may you read this
I'm a big fan of Brian Sell so when I saw he wrote the foreword to this book I was pretty impressed.This was really easy and fun to read and it makes me want to incorporate many of the suggestions in the book from world class runners into my own running.

Awesome Juicy
As an avid runner I have read a LOT of books on the subject but this one still taught me stuff I didn't know. There's great training advice, words of inspiration and recommendations from running super stars, races that I've added to my "to do before the knees give out" list, and mini homages to some of the greats of the sport. Anywhere you open the book there's something cool - and having a place to log races done in every state makes this one a keeper, even after it's well mulled.

A fun read that's informative and helpful
This is a great book for serious runners and non-runners alike. It's a collection of over 100 brief yet succinct essays on ALL THINGS RUNNING that can tempt even a couch potato like me to think out loud: "yes, I can try this." It's full of interesting tidbits and helpful information that will motivate one to start or continue to run. But best of all, the tone of the book is light and fun, making it an easy read. This Christmas I'm going to give this book to everyone on my list who might be remotely interested in this topic. ... Read more

excellent book
This book examines the topic of network analysis and its application to the study of tourism destinations and organizations. Network analysis is based on a structural view of society that posits that individual or organizational behaviour is determined in part by the network of relationships that surround them. Network analysis has been used in the study of fields such as sociology, management and the natural sciences where it has provided important insights for the knowledge of the structure and the dynamics of many complex systems but is a relatively new approach in tourism. The authors argue that tourism is an ideal area for the application of network analysis as tourism involves the coordination of fragmented and geographically disparate organizations to provide a cohesive tourism product.This book is one of the most useful and interesting books in the field of tourism in the past several years and is recommended reading for tourism academics and advanced students.
