The best of the best., 06 Sep 2000
I've read this book about five times now. It is a joy to read and is full of useful diagrams. The book describes how to carry out surveillance on foot, by car and also on public transport. It does tend to assume that you have lots of people at your disposal, but you can still use the methods from this book if you're alone.

Surveillance equipment is covered briefly, as is night surveillance. The style is great, becasue it is easy to follow and very informative.

A must for any PI, spy or just anyone who like reading cool books.

Didn't meet my expectations, 06 May 2006
I purchased What is Sarbanes-Oxley to get a general idea on what the Sarbanes-Oxley Act defines within IT Enterprise Architecture.

It's been a total let down. It seems as if Lander is trying to relate the Sarbanes-Oxley Act entirely to a business context. In my view, this is not the case. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act has more to offer to a company and Lander hasn't dicussed all of its aspects. Plus the structure of the content was more than fussy. I found it hard to understand how each of the chapters inter-relate with each other.

I wouldn't recommend the book to any IT professionals.

This dry-as-bones handbook gives essential overview information about the numerous, varied requirements of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). Reading it is much easier than reading the Act itself, mainly because the book is much shorter. Author Guy P. Lander probably comes as close as possible for a practicing securities law attorney to writing in plain English. That does not mean that this book will appeal to the general reader. We believe it will see its best service as a handy reference on the bookshelves of executives responsible for discussing their firms' SOA compliance efforts with their attorneys, auditors and peers.

Excellent accessible overview written by US attorney, 16 Jun 2004
There's plenty of content on the Internet covering SOX but nothing beats a short focused book on the subject. Lander gives a good overview of the key sections of SOX and explains them in accessible language - despite being an attorney. A useful compliance checklist at the back also points out areas of applicability to foreign, private and Canadian issuers. Lots of useful advice but inevitably some might be out of date or changed by the time you read the book. So 'caveat emptor' as I believe these legal guys are fond of saying.

Great if used in America, 29 Aug 2003
Very interesting book, but is based in America and not of any use for in Great Britain.
