Join the leading edge of Windows administrative scripting with Microsoft PowerShell, the new, comprehensive, consistent, and powerful scripting shell for Microsoft Windows and the Windows Server System. Microsoft's committed to building future graphical administration tools on top of PowerShell, meaning PowerShell will offer the fastest, easiest, and most complete way to automate any Windows administrative task. This new second edition of Windows PowerShell: TFM is more than 25% larger and contains more than 60% revised and re-written material, making it the most comprehensive and authoritative Windows PowerShell book currently available. You'll not only learn what PowerShell is and how it works, but you'll learn to take PowerShell further using custom type extensions, basic cmdlet development, custom formatting views, .NET Framework development, graphical dialog boxes, and much, much more. A completely revised first part helps you get started with PowerShell faster than ever, with explanations based on live class deliveries to more than 1,000 students; coverage of PowerShell's scripting capabilities has been vastly expanded and rewritten to make the subject both easier and more applicable to real-world scenarios.

If you believe the children are our future, you're only half right. Photographer Peter Menzel and journalist Faith D'Aluisio traveled around the world interviewing researchers who want to jump-start our evolution by designing and building electrical and mechanical extensions of ourselves--robots. Their book, Robo Sapiens, takes its title from the notion that our species might somehow merge with our creations, either literally or symbiotically. The photography is brilliant, showing the endearing and creepy sides of the robots and roboticists and feeling like stills from unmade science-fiction films. D'Aluisio's interviews are insightful and often very funny, as when she calls MIT superstar Rodney Brooks on his statement that we ought not "overanthropomorphize" people. Brooks is an interesting study. Having shaken up the robotics and artificial-intelligence fields with his elimination of high-level intelligence and dedication to tiny, insectoid, built-from-the-ground-up robots, he now works on large, human-mimicking machines. But hundreds of other researchers, in Japan, Europe, and the United States, are working on various aspects of machine behavior, from the eerily lifelike robotic faces of Fumio Hara and Alvaro Villa to the monkeylike movement of Brachiator III; each of them casts a bit of light on the future of their field in their short interviews. Though it's clear that we shouldn't hold our breath waiting for a robot butler, Robo Sapiens suggests that much cooler--and stranger--events are coming soon. --Rob Lightner.
