Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (complete to date)

In the beginning, the Creator made the Wheel of Time, which spins the Pattern of the Ages using the lives of men and women as its threads. The Wheel has seven spokes, each representing an age, and it is rotated by the True Source from which the One Power, a source of energy, is drawn. The One Power is divided into male and female halves, saidin and saidar, which work in opposition and in unison to drive the Wheel; those who can use this power are known as channelers. One organization of channelers is the Aes Sedai, a name meaning "Servants of All" in the Old Tongue.

The Creator imprisoned Shai'tan, known as the Dark One, a powerful, evil being, at the moment of creation, sealing him away from the Wheel. At some point, however, the Dark One was given purchase in the world through the machinations of people who opened his prison, and began his efforts to conquer the world, creation, and even the Wheel itself. In response to this, the Wheel spun out the Dragon, a channeler of immense power, to be a champion for the Light. Due to the cyclical nature of the Wheel, there has been no definitive victory for the forces of the Light; the war has been fought innumerable times since the dawn of Creation. The Dragon would defeat Shai'tan and seal him from the Wheel, only to have him break out (or be released) several millennia later, forcing the Dragon to be reborn and repeat the entire process. (Source: Wiki)
Note: Robert Jordan was partway through writing the final book in the series, A Memory of Light, which may or may not be published at a later date.

Glen Cook's The Black Company series, (all published to date, 1984-?)

Summary: The series follows an elite mercenary unit, The Black Company, last of the Free Companies of Khatovar, through roughly forty years of its approximately four hundred year history. In the series, Cook mixes fantasy with military fiction in gritty, down-to-earth portrayals of the Company‘s chief personalities and its struggles.

The Domination - The world of the Black Company is shaped by events that occurred long before the time of the first novel. A powerful wizard called the Dominator had created a brutal empire, assisted by his sorceress wife, known as the Lady, and ten enslaved magical rivals, the Ten Who Were Taken or just Taken. Eventually the Domination was overthrown by a rebellion led by the White Rose. Not powerful enough to kill any of them, she had all 12 buried alive and partially asleep in the remote Barrowland, with magical enchantments to keep them bound.

Much later, a wizard named Bomanz awoke the Lady in an attempt to learn from her, but was tricked into releasing her from her imprisonment. She freed the Taken and bound them to her will, but kept her insane husband in his tomb. The Lady rebuilt the empire, but her rule is less heavy-handed than that of her spouse. (Source: Wiki)

3 Windows Vista Reference Books/Help Manuals

Title1: Windows Vista, the Missing Manual by David Pogue
Title2: Windows Vista for Dummies by Andy Rathbone
Title3: Windows Vista All-in-One Desk Reference for Dummies by Woody Leonhard

2 pdfs and a combined HTML Help file (opens like any other Windows help file)

Microsoft has completely overhauled and revamped Windows to produce a beautiful, shiny new operating system. There's only one thing they left out: a manual, or three.
No matter which of the five versions of Vista you've got on your PC (Home, Premium, Business, Enterprise, Ultimate), between them, these books should cover just about any eventuality.
