for someone who doesn't know anything.......2002-03-23

supposing that this book is accurate in what it explains (as a novice to investing I can't say whether it is) it was an awesome book to read because of its conciseness (something lacking in most books) and its clarity as to what means what. I don't plan to invest in individual stocks, bonds, futures, options anytime in the near future but at least I know what the hell those things are.

Pretty good and informative.......2002-02-01

I checked out this book in an attempt to learn more about the meanings of all those acronyms and abbreviations you find in the listings and tables for stocks, funds, etc. both in the paper and on the Web. It does just that plus a tad more. It dedicates a section to indexes (DJIA, NASDAQ, etc.) and where they come from, what do they "say," etc. Finally it wraps up with a section dedicated to covering some basic economy concepts that affect investing: inflation, recession, fed rates, etc. It's pretty comprehensive for such a small book. Check it out if you want to get a primer. Don't go to it for answers on what or where to invest, because it's not meant for that.

Critical Issues in E-Commerce.......2003-08-12

I was very impressed with this book. It gave an excellent view of the kind of considerations that a company should make before pursuing e-business. I was also pleased with the level of detail in the selected case studies. It provided a very comprehensive list of e-commerce issues, and yet did not get bogged down with huge amounts of detail. I have marked a lot of pages for future reference!

A worthwhile read.......2002-11-14

The cases discussed in this book clearly highlighted relevant issues for any company involved in e-commerce. I work for a small manufacturing organization and while the discussions did not specifically deal directly with manufacturing organizations, I was able to identify items that pertained to our e-commerce applications. I have concluded that many e-commerce issues are common across dissimilar organizations and we can all learn from other companies' experiences. I recommend this book, regardless of expertise in the field.

Book Description

"This is a set of studies about more than just trees or farmers: for the first time, we have a series of micro-level views of how the working of the economy inhibits or promotes the growing or felling of trees¼. The book has the dual advantage of opening up a fresh area for study and pointing to the need for more monographs¼. The book will prove to be indispensable for anyone interested in agriculture, technology or environment." --Science, Technology & Society "A valuable and comprehensive matrix of reference. The editors are to be congratulated for the effort made to bring together such a varied group of professionals whose combined expertise and experience have succeeded in developing an important document on farm forestry." --Indian Review of Books "The book deals comprehensively with diverse ecological regions; highlights meticulously the traditional agro-forestry systems and critically analyses the socio-economic aspects of farm forestry, including the fundamental characteristics of farmers and issues related to the practical perspectives of agrarian dynamism and farm forestry programmes.... The studies in this book reveal the intimate relation between the farmer and the tree." --The Tribune "The volume has enough rich and in-depth material to make it rewarding reading of abiding interest both to scholars and policy makers.... It is refreshing to have this book which is eminently readable, quite perceptive and enlightening to interested scholars." --Journal of Indian School of Political Economy Based on fresh empirical data that are used to critically analyze existing theories and approaches to farm forestry, Farm Forestry in South Asia covers the gamut of issues related to farm forestry programs from a practical perspective. Comprising 14 case studies from diverse ecological regions of South Asia, this volume addresses two major themes: traditional agroforestry patterns and the response of farmers to farm forestry programs. The growing concern over the disappearance of forests and the resultant research and development in farm forestry in South Asia have unfortunately ignored the farmer's perspective. It is from the farmer's standpoint that the contributors critically examine farm forestry in South Asia. They argue that without taking into account the farmer's outlook and developing an integrative approach in which farm forestry builds on traditional agroforestry, any farm forestry program is bound to fail. Farm Forestry in South Asia will be of immense value to forest research institutes, agroforestry, development agencies, and environmental groups besides policymakers and those studying agricultural economics.

Book Description

This book describes our current understanding of the transport of ions, amino acids, nucleosides, sugars, water and gases across the red blood cell membrane. It also outlines the necessary theoretical background to understand the dynamics of membrane constituents together with the mechanisms of transport pathways (pumps, channels, carriers/cotransporters, residual passive permeability). Separate chapters describe our present ideas about membrane and metabolic disorders as well as red blood cell diseases like malaria, sickle cell disease, and hypertension. The latest findings are explained on the basis of well-established principles. The book and its chapters are thus structured in a manner that makes the material accessible to beginners in the field of red blood cell physiology and biophysics. Active researchers will also benefit from this carefully organized compilation. 51 worldwide leading experts in the field of erythrocyte research contributed to the 31 chapters of this book.

Product Description

Colorado Rockhounding is a complete guide to the state's rich and varied mineral, gemstone, and fossil sources. In Colorado, rockhounds may pick agate and petrified wood from the vast Great Plains, follow dinosaur tracks on hogback ridges, pan gold in mountain streams, hunt gemstones on towering peaks, and search for metal sulfide minerals in historic mining districts.

Buyer beware!.......2007-07-25

I spent most of the last week in the Salida/Buena Vista/Royal Gorge area, and wasted ALOT of money on gas trying to find some of the fantastic mine tailings dumps and rock shops claimed to be in the area by this book. When one of the most highly recommended rock shops turned out to have been closed for five years, I started to wonder. I realized this book is just a summary of articles from Rock and Gem magazine, and many date back to the 1960s or earlier (1917???)! This book should be classified as fiction. For that matter, a few months back I tried to contact the state of Utah for permission to pan in the easements, as recommended in an article in R & G. They were horrified and knew nothing about it! It is illegal in Utah to be in the easements unless it is an emergency. So those of you planning a trip out west, don't base your agenda on either of these sources! Mitchell is cheaper and more reliable.

very informative.......2007-04-08

This books makes for great reading, plus is a field guide. We haven't been able to go to the sites yet as of this year (because of all the snow lately here in Colorado) but we are looking forward to using the book in the upcoming summer months. The introduction has a lot of interesting information about the history of Colorado mining, mine safety, types of minerals that can be found, the way the Rockies were formed, dinosaurs, fossils, and warnings about private property, etc. So far we've really liked it, and can't wait to put it to use. Basic maps are shown of the areas, has b/w photos, and also has a small color-photo section that shows minerals and where they were found. Bought this toghther with the updated version of Kappele's Rockhounding guide. Would recommend for reading or guide.

2003 review.......2003-06-02

I am giving this book a three star rating, I believe that it was a five star rating when first published. My copy shows a copyright of 1994 and a fifth printing in 2000. I enjoyed the historic and background geology information provided by the author. It was good evening reading. I did have problems in locating the sites listed. Colorado has grown a bit since 1994. I prefer the detailed format in the falcon guides. They do not have the background Voynick's book does but they get you to most of the sites. In all cases I would like to see the authors show the dates they visited recommended sites.

Rocky Mountain HIGH!.......2001-05-21

Several years ago, I made a swing through Colorado and, as always, collected rocks and minerals [mainly for my class that I teach at a California high school]. This book was at my side and served me well, leading to many beautiful specimens [and two blown tires-it was an excellent trip]. I never failed to find a site and all sites were better than average quality. Warning: many of these sites are at high elevation and may involve a little hiking [I'm out of shape and stayed to the sites close to the roads and still had quite a haul]. As always, please collect respectfully and only in places where it is legal to collect.
