You're holding what is basically the 14th edition of a series of books about Windows Server, the 14th in a line that stretches back to 1994. Over time, the books have changed because the product that they explain—Microsoft Server operating systems from Windows NT Server 3.1 to Windows Server 2008 R2—have changed, and because the needs of those running networks have changed. (As you can guess, the section on Internet security in the NT Server 3.5 book was fairly short!)
