Mary Joe Fernandez
Profiles the life of this Hispanic American tennis player who went pro as a teenager, continued her schooling, and has become one of the top ranked women players in the world.
Airing Dirty Laundry
Like many women, Mary Ann Fernandez never thought she would find herself in an abusive relationship. She would never get involved with someone like that—she would recognize the red flags and stay far away. Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that abuse doesn't discriminate, and it often shows up in a careful disguise. What seemed to be a loving marriage slowly became her worst nightmare, and soon she was being ravaged by emotional and physical destruction at the hands of the person who was supposed to love her most. For ten years, she tried desperately to fix this relationship—one that should never have happened in the first place. This is Fernandez's story in her own words, and it serves multiple purposes. In addition to being a cathartic way to help heal the scars of her troubled past, this abuse survivor wrote her memoir to provide a voice to other women in similar situations, as well as to serve as a “how not to” guide for younger women. An honest account of a love story gone terribly wrong, Airing Dirty Laundry is a must-read for women of all ages, or for anyone with a personal connection to the serious issue of domestic abuse.

Databases in Networked Information Systems
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Databases in Networked Information Systems, DNIS 2002, held in Aizu, Japan in December 2002. The 16 revised full papers presented with five invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers are organized in topical sections on information interchange and management systems, Web data management systems, data management systems, networked information systems applications, and networked information systems implementations.
Semantic Web and Peer-to-Peer
Just like the industrial society of the last century depended on natural resources, today’s society depends on information and its exchange. Staab and Stuckenschmidt structured the selected contributions into four parts: Part I, "Data Storage and Access", prepares the semantic foundation, i.e. data modelling and querying in a flexible and yet scalable manner. These foundations allow for dealing with the organization of information at the individual peers. Part II, "Querying the Network", considers the routing of queries, as well as continuous queries and personalized queries under the conditions of the permanently changing topological structure of a peer-to-peer network. Part III, "Semantic Integration", deals with the mapping of heterogeneous data representations. Finally Part IV, "Methodology and Systems", reports experiences from case studies and sample applications. The overall result is a state-of-the-art description of the potential of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies for information sharing and knowledge management when applied jointly.
