White Rapids
The rise and fall of a Canadian townAward-winning Quebecois cartoonist Pascal Blanchet’s graphic novel is a compelling account of the rise and fall of the small northern town of White Rapids. In the first English translation of his work, Blanchet seamlessly blends fact and fiction as he weaves together the official history of the town and snapshots of the quotidian life of its residents. Founded in 1928 in an isolated region of Quebec forest, the town was conceived and constructed by the Shawinigan Water & Power Company to function as a fully equipped, self-contained living community for workers at the nearby dam and their families. Intended as an incentive to lure workers to the remote and inaccessible region, White Rapids provided its residents with all the luxuries of middle-class modern life in a pastoral setting—until the town was abruptly shut down in 1971, when the company changed hands. Blanchet’s unique, streamlined, retro-inspired aesthetic draws on art deco and fifties modernist design to vividly conjure up idyllic scenes of lazy summer days and crisp winter nights in White Rapids, transporting the reader back to a more innocent time. .

Migrating to IPv6: A Practical Guide to Implementing IPv6 in Mobile and Fixed Networks
IPv6 is the future of the always on, mobile Internet The new version is vital for making that self-restocking fridge scenario into a reality, as the old version (IPv4) is not able to cope with the number of individual machines and people that will need to be networked together in the future. Other business drivers for migrating to IPv6 include: transmitting data wireless-ly (ie. internet access, messaging etc. via your mobile phone), creating home area networks that are constantly connected to the internet, evolving telecommunications systems which transmit voice over IP networks, and many more. Migrating to IPv6 does not try to cover absolutely everything, it is not an ‘everything you ever wanted to know and quite a lot you didn’t’ style reference book, but it IS a ‘how to’ tutorial on implementing, applying and deploying the protocol. The value is in the author’s experience-based advice and techniques for putting the technology to work. Migrating IPv6 features: - To the point, practical perspective aimed at people who need to implement IPv6 in their daily work.
- Contains advice and tried-and-tested practical techniques from the person who ported the first application into IPv6 (Quake)
- Provides configuration examples of popular implementations: cisco, nortel,microsoft, sun, linux, 3com
- The ‘insider’ knowledge of the technology as the author is a member of the IPv6 Forum board
This is THE book every network (wired and wireless) engineer needs on their bookshelf as a practical and useful reference for IPv6..
