Saint Paul & Pacific Railroad: An Empire in the Making, 1862-1879
ISBN: 9780875802527 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Veenendaal (Institute of Netherlands History, the Hague) traces the company from its beginnings as a small carrier connecting St. Paul and Minneapolis with outlying towns, to when it was bought by railroad tycoon James J. Hill under whom, as the Great Northern Railway, it reached the Pacific Ocean. He describes such aspects as laying track, meeting the schedule, making payroll, injury and ruin, and the general shortage of everything on the frontier. Of course he includes the many old photographs without which a railroad history would not get off the dime.

Testing Practitioner
ISBN: 9789072194657 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 436 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The initial idea for writing a new testing book came during a meeting in London with David Hayman and Chris Comey. We were developing the ISEB Practitioner course and needed some background papers. The idea evolved and with the support of many testing and software quality experts it turned into a full and new testing book. Using the ISEB Practitioner syllabus as a reference framework, I wanted to create a book that provides a comprehensive overview of the testing profession and in addition addresses a number of new testing challenges and topics. The book needed to be more than a set of...

The pictures also form a remarkable artistic accomplishment in their own right. ...
