Planning Your Future: A Guide for Professional Women

Customer Reviews:

Excellent Planning Tool with long term application.......2002-08-15

Essentially a planning tool for professional women, gives insightful results from extensive research conducted across samples of women in their 20's and 30's. Explores the top 10 factors contributing to a women's self rated happiness.

The major advantage is the book's scientific approach to the consequences of decision making in the early stages of life, and the factors contributing to long term happiness.

A basic, helpful guide for women, esp. those wanting kids........2001-08-08

My mother bought this book for me and my two sisters. We are in the 21-33 age range, and being the oldest, the book isn't quite as applicable to me. However, I think this book would be very helpful to younger women just starting out in their careers, particularly those who are faced with juggling work and family obligations. With respect to having children, the book addresses issues such as natural childbirth and breastfeeding. The book would make a nice college graduation gift for a young woman just entering the work force.

Product Description

This book is largely prompted by the two recently promulgated regulations governing takeovers in China. The goal of this book is to critically examine the legal takeover regime in China and to put forward proposals for reform. To outline the discussion, Part II describes the stock market, the takeover law, and the takeover activities in China. Two legislative goals, namely contestability of takeovers and shareholder protection, are set out in Part III. Under these principles, Part IV and Part V explore the issues of tender offer and anti takeover defenses, respectively. Specifically, Part IV focuses on information disclosure and other major rules relating to takeovers. It appears that these rules are in line with the international norm and acceptably workable in the context of China. Furthermore, Part V explores the serious problems that are associated with anti-takeover defenses. China's law seems to be both over inclusive and under inclusive in this respect. After an in depth comparative analysis of the legal regimes in the U.S., UK, and Australia, it is apparent that those regimes are not suitable for China's local conditions. Lastly, this book proposes a regime in which shareholders could veto the use of takeover defenses ex post, while requiring that certain defensive measures be decided ex ante. This proposal could well suit China's needs because it not only gives shareholders sufficient protection, but also preserves necessary flexibility for management to efficiently respond to truly undesirable tender offers.

Book Description

This volume provides high quality academic research on the ongoing, and sometimes heated, public policy debate over the benefits of bank derivatives and trading activities. This debate is centered on the potential adverse systemic effects of these activities. To date, relatively little of what is known of the economic causes and consequences of these activities is the result of scientific scrutiny. Firstly, the volume documents the trends in trading activities and derivatives usage. Secondly, this book discusses the economic motivation for, and economic consequences of banks' derivatives and trading activities. Thirdly, the regulatory options and their potential consequences are evaluated. Recommendations for a reasoned supervisory response, based on the analyses in this book, conclude the volume.

A good look into the volitile world of banking Derivatives.......2002-03-14

Barry Schachter does a wonderful job of compiling the pros and cons of the complex derivative market.

This book is complete with real world data on trading activities, the usage of derivatives, and the possible systemic risk associated with these practices.

I enjoyed this books straight forward and easy to understand format which made it simple to evaluate the issues facing our complex banking system.

This book could easily have gotten a five star review from me if it wasn't for my one and only complaint.

My only complaint has to do with the date of publication, not with any of the information (or lack of information) presented in this book.

I am curious how the author would view more recent issues including the possible clasped of several major Japanese banks, Enron, and the current crisis in Argentina.

Book Description

Charles Lamb (1775-1834), essayist, poet, humorist, critic and letter-writer, has an enduring reputation for his early Tales from Shakespeare (1807), written in collaboration with his sister Mary, and his Essays of Elia, first published in the London Magazine. This thematic selection of Lamb's writings - essays, dramatic criticism, verse and letters - not only demonstrates his literary achievements; it forms a self-portrait of the writer: generous, amused, and gregarious, finding imaginative escape from grim circumstances in the teeming life of London and the theatre. The reader is drawn into the circle of Lamb's friends, enjoying the company of the most personal of English essayists. J.E. Morpurgo's introduction and notes set Lamb's writings in their contemporary context.
