Good but not as good as "Born to Succeed".......2004-07-17
I LOVED "Born to Succeed" but this book was not quite as good. It wasn't full of as much information and just not as compelling to read. I do however highly recommend "Born to Succeed." That's an outstanding book.

Book Description
This book gives an introduction to the bond markets for practitioners and new entrants who need to understand what they are, how they work and how they can be used, but do not want to be intimidated by mathematical formulae. By the end of the book readers will be able to decide whether to invest in the bond market. The mathematical formulae will be relegated to the appendices and supplemented by a companion website which allows users to enter their own bond market investments, to simulate anticipated events and see the results.
- Patrick Brown is well-known as Chairman of the European Bond commission (recently retired)
- The only bond book that does not rely heavily on mathematical formulae
Book Description
An Introduction to Bond Markets introduces novices to bonds, notes, derivatives and other instruments used in the world's largest markets. Readers will learn how these products are traded and quoted in the financial markets. This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between academic texts that are often too theoretical, and the more technical practitioner's works. Key features include:
* Introductory sections defining terms and giving background to theories
* Examples and calculations of various types of bond market instruments
* Summaries and overviews at the end of each chapter recapitulating key points and definitions
* Quick quiz questions and answers to reinforce learning
* Further resources which point to other books, articles and internet tools to widen readers' comprehension and entrench their foundation in the subject.
Each book in the series is supported by the Wiley-Reuters Financial Training web site (www.wiley-rft.reuters.com). This regularly updated site offers a range of screens taken directly from the Reuters terminal, information on professional exams, web links to key institutional finance web sites and much more. Endorsed by the ISMA Center - the Business School for Financial Markets at the University of Reading, UK, this book will be of particular interest to novice traders, investors and trainers in financial institutions looking for a key introductory text. Key concepts are illustrated with excellent real world examples, exercises and screen dumps while still recognising that most readers will not trade bonds or become pricing technicians.
Customer Reviews:
Don't buy it!.......2001-03-17
You can't really use it. Huge amount of typos, omissions and errors. Just try to compute rate of return using formula from the book ROR = [(Selling price-1)/Buying price]*100. Buying for 90 and selling for 100 gives you a zero return rate, nice, isn't it. Worst book I've ever had.
Excellent title for self-training into a new job position.......2000-03-29
As a computer systems administrator, I usually support several applications without getting too involved in their inner workings nor with the business that they run. This book, however, allowed me to understand the bond markets and to be able to interact with computer users with definite knowledge and sure understanding of the business. The book is a cross between a text book and a do-it-yourself with examples. I couldn't have done it with out it. Next I'm ordering An introduction to Derivatives.

*THE* Definitive Book for Meteorological Analysis.......2000-11-09
This book, despite its age, continues to be the acme of scalar and kinematic analysis of meteorological fields. Not to mention many other methods of meteorological data analysis. Nothing yet exists in the literature which can serve to replace this classic. Every operational meterologist should own a copy of Saucier's book and the pages should be worn and dog-eared from frequent use!
Review of "Principles of Meteorological Analysis".......2000-11-07
This book is a true classic publication. Its enduring value is not so much as a textbook, although I have seen it used as such. Rather, it is should be considered a primary reference work. There is no better discussion of the theory and practice of meteorological scalar analysis anywhere in the literature. Its treatment of kinematic analysis is perhaps its most unique aspect and it certainly is one of Saucier's specialties. It also has an excellent treatment of cross section analysis, as well as many other topics. About the only negative part of the book is that it was published first in 1955, so its content *is* becoming a bit dated. Nevertheless, this is one that should be in the collection of every serious meteorology student. It is challenging to read, but the value associated with its content makes the effort worthwhile.

I think this book was too hard to understand and the guy who wrote this was old.
Customer Reviews:
A very worthy addition to the team.......2007-05-23
I like this problem book and I like the fact that it is separate. I'm old school, I suppose, but I'd teach out of the second edtion (see my review) and use this problem book.

Book Description
Cuban-Americans are beginning to understand their long-standing roots and traditions in the United States that reach back over a century prior to 1959. This is the first book-length confirmation of those beginnings, and its places the Cuban hero and revolutionary thinker José Martí within the political and socioeconomic realities of the Cuban communities in the United States of that era. By clarifying Martí’s relationship with those communities, Gerald E. Poyo provides a detailed portrait of the exile centers and their role in the growth and consolidation of nineteenth-century Cuban nationalism.
Poyo differentiates between the development of nationalist sentiment among liberal elites and popular groups and reveals how these distinct strains influenced the thought and conduct of Martí and the successful Cuban revolution of the 1890s.

Book Description
Often the most unusual tales have humble beginnings. On a warm and muggy day in May 2002, two men went fishing at a small totally unremarkable pond in Crofton, Maryland, just a short drive from the nation's capital. One of them caught a fish that looked like nothing he'd ever seen. Before throwing it back, he snapped a few pictures and later shared them with state fisheries biologists. They too were puzzled, but after some sleuthing they identified the fish as a northern snakehead. It didn't belong in the wild in Crofton, or Maryland, or the United States for that matter. It was an alien, a potentially invasive species from Asia with sharp teeth, a predilection for dining ravenously on other fishes, a primitive lung, and apparently and most amazingly the ability to walk over land to a new body of water whenever the mood struck it. Should snakeheads establish themselves in Maryland, officials feared they could wreak havoc on the local ecosystem. In late June and early July, more northern snakeheads were caught in the pond. Their presence became a major event, covered internationally in newspapers and magazines, and on radio and television. With astonishing speed, the northern snakehead, variously labeled a "Frankenfish," "killer fish," "pit bull with fins," "Chinese thug fish," "x-files fish," and the "fish from hell," became an indisputable media superstar. But the snakeheads' days were numbered; come September they were gone, done in with poison administered by the state of Maryland.
Coverage of the snakehead story ranged from serious and thoughtful to silly and sensational. At its base lay the persistently troubling issue of invasive species and their ability to harm the environment and the economy. But that story line alone, while perhaps good for an article or two could not sustain the media frenzy that ensued. No, this fish story had everything—shadowy origins, illegal activity, misinformation, exaggerations, epic battles between man and fish, the specter of ecological doom, earnest bureaucrats, wanted posters, bounties, late night talk show hosts, early morning talk show hosts, a blue ribbon panel, poison, hilarious satire, snakehead entrepreneurs, purported links to terrorism, theme songs, culinary concoctions, medicinal connections, and most importantly a fish that pound for pound surely ranks as one of most vilified creatures on earth. Just as the summer of 2001 was called the summer of the shark, the summer of 2002 became the summer of the snakehead. This is the story of that fascinating fish and how it captured our imagination and took us all on a wild ride.

Snakehead-Fish Out of Water.......2003-09-10
As a snakehead angler, I was both amused and amazed at the furor that eruped in Crofton, Maryland during the summer of 2002. Eric Jay Dolin has captured the true essence of a most unlikely series of events, from the capture of the first unidentifiable fish to the final extermination of a pond full of them.
Both humorous and informative, his book explains the evolution of the snakehead myth, the media hyperbole, the bureaucratic process, the public's reaction and the true characteristics of this fascinating species of fish.
Most importantly, he highlights the continuing efforts required to control invasive species that enter into our local environments.
Since I had personal experince with Snakeheads prior to the Crofton event, I followed the stories and exaggerations with keen interest, and some dismay, during that summer. Eric's book serves to shine the light of reality and reason on a very emotional topic. He has done a fine job of putting the entire episode into perspective.
I recommend this book not only to anglers, but to anyone who is concerned with the control of alien species. I will continue to fish for snakeheads. I will travel half way around the world to do so. I'm glad that they are not an American sportfish. Otherwise, I would not have a valid reason to pursue them in the remote regions of Southeast Asia. Their natural habitat includes some of the most unspoiled and beautiful areas on earth. That is where I want to be.
Book Description
Assessing Toxic Risk is a comprehensive guide for teachers interested in guiding student research projects in toxicology. The student manual and teacher's guide include:
· An overview of basic principals of toxicology and how these are used in assessing chemical risks.
· Simple but authentic research protocols for testing chemical toxicity by conducting bioassays using lettuce seeds, duckweed, and Daphnia.
· Worksheets that guide students through each step of research, providing structure but flexibility in designing and conducting meaningful experiments.
· Guidelines for integrating peer review and other collaborative knowledge-building into classroom science.
Why Study Toxic Risk?
Toxicology makes an ideal topic for student research because it:
· Relates to everyday stories in the news and decisions that we all make about chemicals in our food, water, and environment.
· Provides a natural link between scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, environmental science, and human health.
· Highlights the connections between science and public policy.
· Offers a wide range of possibilities for safe and feasible student investigations.
· Builds critical thinking skills.
