An okay introduction.......2006-12-04

This book provides an okay introduction to Finance, but it leaves much to be desired. My chief complaint is that this book gives important basic finance formulas, but it does not explain the derivations of them well. Some general concepts are explained, but then poof a formula suddenly appears which a clever reader can probably figure out how to derive himself, but such a reader would then not really even need to be given the formula by the book in the first place. What makes a person educated in finance worth more than the the price of his or her financial calculator is that person's understanding of these formulas and how financial analysis is approached.

Otherwise this is not a bad book. Some financial theory is discussed, and this book explains the basics of financial markets and different forms of financial instruments, so the reader should be able to walk away from this book with at least a basic understanding of these topics. However, for those who wish to gain a solid understanding of this topics a more in depth book is needed.

Book Description

This two-volume series represents a course sequence that explicitly addresses the needs and special interests of biology majors and premed students. By presenting organic chemistry earlier in the curriculum, the Integrated Chemistry series demonstrates the connection of this material to students' other fields of study.

Also, since math preparation weighs heavily on student success in chemistry, the series allows professors to delay presenting, until the third or fourth semester, topics from general and organic chemistry that will most benefit students after their completion of college-level math.

Book Description

"Professor Hughes offers an earnest warning: 'Unless there is some emotional tie, some elective affinity linking the student to his subject of study, the results will be pedantic and perfunctory.' In other words, it is only a step from the sublime to the meticulous. Those eager to guard against that sad descent will find History as Art and as Science a guide, a tonic, and an inspiration. Its short, electrifying essays are so magnificently sane and persuasive they should be required reading for every student who contemplates a major in history."—Geoffrey Bruun, Saturday Review

Book Description

Covering the story of prejudice against Jews from the time of Christ through the rise of Nazi Germany, The History of Anti-Semitism presents in elegant and thoughtful language a balanced, careful assessment of this egregious human failing that is nearly ubiquitous in the history of Europe.

From the Time of Christ to the Court Jews systematically traces the twists and turns of hatred against Jews as it developed from Roman times to the end of the eighteenth century. Chiefly the history of prejudice against the Ashkenazim, this volume demonstrates that organized anti-Semitism was unknown until the First Crusade, an event that marked the beginning of systematic genocide and mass expulsions in Europe. Jews were accused of countless crimes, from causing the Black Death to practicing ritual murder, and the author attempts throughout to reveal the sociological and psychological forces behind these irrational charges.

Most Interesting Work on the Subject.......2003-12-01

It is a shame that Poliakov is not better known in this country. The subject matter is far greater than the title suggests. This is really a kind of panoramic history of Europe in the style of Braudel, only much less densely written and pleasurable to read. The translation only improves matters. With all the poorly written material on this subject, it is a shame that Poliakov is not brought out in bigger editions. This is really something special, and it's bound to fascinate any reader of European or Jewish history. I would say it's an ideal gift to any reader of history. Anyway, great to have it back in print after all these years.
