Light Reading
Got to spend the long weekend on the Central Coast; pix when my camera gets back from its vacation. Finished reading Java Design — Objects, UML, and Process by Kirk Knoernschild. Now, I need to write a review of it for the
ACCU newsletter.
A more appropriate title might be UML Design — with Java examples.
The examples are pretty well done in the book, and I do now have a better
appreciation for UML. Nice summaries of RUP and xP in an appendix.
At the local used bookstore down there, I found
Ishi, Last of His Tribe, by Theodora Kroeber.
That "K" is the "K" in "Ursula K Le Guin".
This Bantam paperback is the fictionalized 1964 version of Ishi's story.
Somewhere, I also have Ishi, the Last Yahi, which is the
more scholarly anthropological treatment.
There is now a federally designated Wilderness Area,
The Ishi Wilderness, that contains some of the land where
some of the Yahi lived. It's in northeast California, in the northernmost
foothills of the area where the Cascades meet the Sierra.
North of Chico, east of Red Bluff, and south of Mt Lassen.
