(All-in-One) Shon Harris McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007 Wouldn't have passed without it! I can honestly say that if it weren't for this book I probably would not have passed my CISSP exam.

It reads like a ...             Photovoltaics: Design and Installation Manual Solar Energy International New Society Publishers, 2004 To be fair...you probably should buy this...but...

The next time I have a chance to use this in a class (to teach) I will. There are lots of good examples, the language is clear, and it's not too ethereal or esoteric.
