Book Description
The good news is that unless you live in Australia, you likely won’t encounter funnel-web spiders in your backyard. Vacationing there, though, exposes you to more than 40 kinds of funnel-web spiders, and many are extremely poisonous. This book takes a look at many of these amazing creatures, exploring how they build their funnel-shaped burrows and where they like to live. With full-color photographs of these amazing arachnids in their foliage-filled habitats, readers will discover the wild world of these small but dangerous creatures.

Book Description
"Quality-Based Content Delivery over the Internet" mainly discusses the methodology of doing quality-based content delivery in an Internet environment. Because the network is becoming intelligent and active, more and more researchers are talking about achieving personalization and customization in Internet content delivery.

Still, the detailed methodology of doing so is never illustrated fully. The most critical part will be the active content transformation model. This book gives a detailed description of the active content transformation model, and provides experiments and data to show its feasibility. Some examples of how to do efficient content transformation in active web intermediary to achieve high quality are also presented to help understand the whole process. The book is an introduction and excellent reference for researchers in the Internet content delivery area.
