Dave Says...Well Done!: The Common Guy's Guide to Everyday Success

Customer Reviews:

Good Read.......2005-01-27

The publisher's review of this book suggests that the material is "light," which may be accurate. However, Dave Thomas has a gentle way about his writing style that I believe is areflection of his personality. The book is full of interesting stories about his success in building a hamburger empire, and includes some valuable lessons about building a business with integrity and compassion. Wendy's has been famous for supporting the communities it serves, and I enjoyed reading about Dave's philosophy of hard work, honesty, and charity. These are things we can all benefit from. I recommend this book to any aspiring entrepreneur.

You may also want to read "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill and "The 17 Principles of Creating Wealth" by Phillip Collinsworth.

I'm in the Book.......2002-01-11

I am pictured in this book as a adoptions child. My name is Crystal Hart. My mom is Mattie and sylvester Hart. We met Dave a few years back at Wendy's in Orlando Florida. I would like a copy of the book so I can show my kids one day.

all i can say is this book is great. i loved the way it reads, and intorduces old fasion ideas that were all but forgotten

Dave is one helluva guy!!!.......2001-06-07

Dave Thomas is just amazing! He is so down to earth, yet so successful. A book cannot be judged by its cover. He has been through so much and accomplished so much. When you are done reading this book, you'll say to yourself, "If Dave can do it, so can I!" Buy it...read it ...learn...live it! I can't give anyone better advice.

a good bookk by dave thomass.......1999-08-06

This was the best book i ever read, but i have only read 2 books. The other one was a coloring book with Pooh bear. The guy from wendy's is cool because he's old. I like burgers and stuff. The book was cool because it talks about burgers, and stuff involving burgers and wendy's. Dave Thomass is a good role model because he makes burgerrrs. give it up for dave thomass

The instructions were not expilicit.......1999-08-06

I was attempting to cook my burger, but it didnt come out well. It ended up smelling somewhat like fish. There were NO onion ring recipies. I also lit a small fire in my kitchen.

hi.......1999-04-14

the book was really cool i love dave thomis in his comercials. I wish that i could have the same glasses that dave has because they are really cool. The book was ok but i like the reall thing better meaning the burgers not the pictures of them.

Book Description

By providing solutions to real-life problems and issues that have actually been raised by investment managers Currency Overlay: A Practical Guide is the most relevant and tested guide available to you. It discusses the myriad of available approaches, styles and philosophies to clarify the concept of currency overlay management and presents a balanced and objective overview of both the return and risk aspects of currency in investment portfolios.

Currency overlay works by effectively managing your risk whilst adding significant value to your investment portfolio - and as an investment discipline it is widely regarded to offer a far greater consistency of success than any other.

Hai Xin provides you with all the necessary information you need to set up a currency management programme or to choose one from the market that best suits your investment portfolio. For funds already equipped with a currency management policy this practical guide will provide an objective yardstick for policy review.

As one of the first titles on the market to focus specifically on currency overlay you will find no better guide. Until now you had to rely on often impractical and biased information drawn from a variety of sources. With Currency Overlay you will save time and effort with all the vital information you need succinctly packaged into one manageable volume. What's more, with minimal technical knowledge required you will find this extensively referenced title both highly accessible and practical with examples illustrated with clear diagrams and figures throughout.

What's more Currency Overlay's comprehensive approach covers the full spectrum of related theoretical and practical topics including: defining and decomposing currency returns, foreign exchange research and currency management styles, optimisation and hedge ratio, benchmark design and performance measurement, option pricing theory and dynamic hedging, emerging market currencies, liquidity and e-commerce.

Advises on the pros and cons of implementing a programme internally vs. outsourcing to a currency manager.

Book Description

Currency overlay is the management of the currency exposure inherent in cross-border institutional investments. Exposure to foreign currencies increases the volatility of their returns, without increasing the returns themselves and academics and consultants recommended that the currency exposure should be stripped out of international portfolios and eliminated as far as practicable.

This book provides a comprehensive description of currency overlay, its history and possible future developments and growth, the reason for its emergence, the debates and controversies, the different styles of currency management, and the industry's performance track record.

This is a subject of international appeal and is an area of particular growth potential for institutional investors. Coverage includes:

The theoretical case for eliminating currency risk in international portfolios
The interplay between asset returns and currency returns, and the effect of this on hedging decisions
Benchmarks - their construction and strategic role
Least-cost passive overlay
The structure of the currency market, and its 'inefficiencies'
Active overlay styles
Active overlay both restricted and unrestricted (currency alpha)
Uses diagrams, charts, tables and explanatory boxes to explain concepts

Excellent book.......2000-09-14

This is a great book for court reporters, scopists, proofreaders, anyone who needs help with grammar or punctuation. This book will teach you when to use a comma; semicolon; colon; capitalization; etc. This book helps with troublsome words like "legislator" or "legislature"; it helps with one word/two words; when to use a comma instead of a period after the answer "yes" or "no"; etc. This is an all around great book for anyone who uses punctuation or grammar in their everday life.

This is one of the best books I have read on this subject and I highly recommend it.

Book Description

In global coastal zones, the major fabric of goods and services for human welfare as well as global changes are extraordinarily visible. They are shaped by natural Earth systems processes on a planetary scale, which are reflected in a continuously adapting coastal environment. Now, in the "Anthropocene", human society is a greater catalyst for change - impacting and modifying coastal processes. This book synthesizes knowledge on coastal and riverine material fluxes, biogeochemical processes and indications of change, and the human influence, before looking at future research and management needs. It is a milestone rather than a destination on the journey which continues under the new International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP), the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP) and the LOICZ II (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) Project.

Book Description

Ultrasonics. A subject with applications across all the basic sciences, engineering, medicine, and oceanography, yet even the broader topic of acoustics is now rarely offered at undergraduate levels. Ultrasonics is addressed primarily at the doctoral level, and texts appropriate for beginning graduate students or newcomers to the field are virtually nonexistent. Fundamentals and Applications of Ultrasonic Waves fills that void. Designed specifically for senior undergraduates, beginning graduate students, and those just entering the field, it begins with the fundamentals, but goes well beyond the simple, general concepts of waves to a detailed treatment of ultrasonic waves in isotropic media. Addressing a wide range of topics, the author focuses on the physics of acoustic waves, their propagation, and the different modes that can be excited in various geometries. Strong emphasis on applications in the later chapters provides a concrete setting for the more formal and theoretical earlier discussions. Your search for the right introduction to ultrasonics is over. The clear, engaging prose, careful balance of theory and applications, and rigorous but accessible mathematical treatments in this book combine to build a solid foundation either for practical work in the field or moving on to higher-level studies.

Only buy it as a last resort!.......2003-10-02

Fundamentals and Applications of Ultrasonic Waves, one of the most current books on this subject matter to be widely available within the past few years, attempts to go from the basics of acoustics and ultrasonics through acoustic devices and applications to a few specialty topics towards its conclusion. While it does contain plenty of information and elucidates some topics that may be difficult to find in similar works it has unfortunately missed the mark with respect to a most important consideration--the reader.

The fact that this is a first edition is more than obvious not only in that the presentation is questionable but that the writing style ranges from sub-standard to okay--attributes which make for an odd juxtaposition when compared with the author's credentials and experience. The writing does not deliver on the promise of clear, engaging prose as stated on the back cover. So much so that one must pause to wonder whether or not this book had been proof-read before going to final print. Nonetheless, the topical information is indeed given. The caveat is that the reader will have to practice patience and decipher the, at times, convoluted writing so as to get to central ideas.

In terms of its presentation, there is no clear indication as to the division between fundamentals and applications in the text. Accessibility for the reader could have been increased by a more sectioned approach to the chapters and their subsections that delineated such divisions. Another problem is that a significant number of the chapters seem to err on the short side in terms of length. That may not seem like a significant problem, but when you take into consideration the many cross-references given in the text to other works on points that are only briefly introduced within the discourse it is easy to see where comprehensiveness can be lost.

For the student there are some chapter summaries and questions. These are only given for chapters 2 through 10. The reader is not given any indication as to why the rest of the chapters do not deserve the same treatment. As given, the summaries represent more of a glossary to be placed in an appendix rather than clear summarizations for their respective chapters--they have no apparent order either. Answers for the chapter questions are not available. There is no information in the text pertaining to the availability of question answers for course instructors or students alike. By such unavailability the text does not lend itself well to adoption as a course text by educational institutions.

As stated in the book, university courses in ultrasonics are usually only available to upper level graduate students. Currently there are few university physics departments that give these courses. One of the author's purposes in writing this book is to fill this void and make available a book for beginning graduate students or newcomer's to this field. Though while covering many topics this book does little to improve the accessibility of the subject. Most of the basic chapters near the beginning of the text can be found in any text on acoustics, vibrations, or waves. Nothing special about them. Whereas, some of the more particular later chapters on the subject at hand appear to be more of a compilation of research results than of thoughtful discourse. This may partially explain the lack of chapter questions for the later chapters. The overall sense is that this is more of a patch work
than a smoothly connected edition. Hopefully this work will go through a thorough revision before it ever makes it into a second edition. It is not enough to just fill a volume with details. Those details must be thoughtfully drawn together to conveying rhythm and flow to the subject. In the end, this text serves better as a reference than as a course text.
