Coming Soon...
I'm currently working on another book. This one is about a very, very popular little sub-notebook from Taiwan. Details coming soon. The book will be published by Wiley in November 2008.

 

GPS for Dummies - Second Edition
Available in October 2008 - Four years after the first edition came out, I've significantly updated this book. In addition to handheld outdoor units, you'll now find lots of information on automotive GPS receivers, cell phone GPS, marine GPS, and the latest mapping software and Web sites.
Geocaching for Dummies
Published in September 2004 - a manual for the then new sport of geocaching. Some things have changed over the years, but the content is still solid. Check out the table of contents and a sample chapter.
GPS for Dummies 
Published in June 2004 - everything you always wanted to know about GPS and digital maps but were afraid to ask. Here's the table of contents and some excerpts. My editor says this has been one of the best selling GPS titles on the market, which is a nice compliment.
X-ray vision... Secrets of Computer Espionage: Tactics & Countermeasures  
My first book came out in July 2003 and is all about computer spying - here are some reviews, a sample chapter and links that go with it also see "The Mystery of Damien Casablanca" The book was subsequently translated into Polish and Russian, which is kind of cool in a Cold War espionage kind of way. It even was a bestseller for a bit. (I'm not doing much computer security work these days, but the Complete Unofficial TEMPEST Information Page is archived here.)
