Thin Clients Clearly Explained by Joseph T. Sinclair, ISBN 012645535X

A thin client is a Network Computer that runs Windows programs, providing the infrastructure that enables an Intranet to reach its full potential. The benefits of thin client computers are the comparatively low cost and the ability to manage these machines centrally, providing convenience and efficiency. Employees who haven't used computers before can use thin clients for email and to access corporate publishing through a Web browser. Employees who need computers but don't use them intensively can use thin clients to access corporate databases and corporate publishing, for email, for word processing, and even for GroupWare. This is a straightforward book that will be useful to officers, executives, supervisors, and many others who wish to implement and use thin clients on an Intranet.

High Tech Heretic: Why Computers Don't Belong in the Classroom by Clifford Stoll, ISBN 0385489765

The cry for and against computers in the classroom is a topic of concern to parents, educators, and communities everywhere. Now, from a Silicon Valley hero and bestselling technology writer comes a pointed critique of the hype surrounding computers and their real benefits, especially in education. In High-Tech Heretic, Clifford Stoll questions the relentless drumbeat for "computer literacy" by educators and the computer industry, particularly since most people just use computers for word processing and games--and computers become outmoded or obsolete much sooner than new textbooks or a good teacher.
As one who loves computers as much as he disdains the inflated promises made on their behalf, Stoll offers a commonsense look at how we can make a technological world better suited for people, instead of making people better suited to using machines.

Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway by Clifford Stoll, ISBN 0385419945

In "Silicon Snake Oil, Clifford Stoll, the best-selling author of "The Cuckoo's Egg and one of the pioneers of the Internet, turns his attention to the much-heralded information highway, revealing that it is not all it's cracked up to be. Yes, the Internet provides access to plenty of services, but useful information is virtually impossible to find and difficult to access. Is being on-line truly useful? "Few aspects of daily life require computers...They're irrelevant to cooking, driving, visiting, negotiating, eating, hiking, dancing, speaking, and gossiping. You don't need a computer to...recite a poem or say a prayer." Computers can't, Stoll claims, provide a richer or better life.
A cautionary tale about today's media darling, "Silicon Snake Oil has sparked intense debate across the country about the merits--and foibles--of what's been touted as the entranceway to our future. Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway by Clifford Stoll, ISBN 0385419945

Quantum Computation & Information by Iaac L. Chuang, ISBN 0521635039

Nielsen and Chuang ask the question: What are the ultimate physical limits to computation and communication? They then go on to describe what a quantum computer is, how it can be used to solve problems faster than familiar "classical" computers, and the real-world implementation of quantum computers. Their book concludes with an explanation of how quantum states can be used to perform remarkable feats of communication, and of how it is possible to protect quantum states against the effects of noise. 91 line diagrams.
