A solid starting point.......2002-01-22

This book is not a how-to manual for landing a job on Wall Street. Just as the title says, it is simply a guide to the recruiters. Scanlon and Hunt have broken the book into three parts for your reference.

First, the introduction and chapters 1 through 3 are not quite part of the book. If you look at the page numbers, roman numerals still greet you. This should show you that it is not the primary focus of the book. The introduction tells you about recruiters and job searching in this field. In the first three chapters, some good information from the authors explain resumes, cover letters, and interviews. Knowing how the recruiters think is always a leg up on the competition.

The meat of the book is the "directory." This lets you know the name, title, firm, and address of Wall Street recruiters. Remember that people change jobs and titles fairly often. This information is merely a starting point. Just knowing the companies out there allows me to do some research to make my application that much more appealing. It also allows me to be more knowledgeable in the interview. Use the information to find the current recruiter. Don't assume the listed name is still in charge of recruiting.

The last part is not as helpful. It breaks down the field into four parts (generalist, financial services, insurance, and venture capital). Here, the authors index names with company for the recruiter with a more specialized function. This will allow you to finetune your search, but given that people change jobs, the information here is less helpful than the addresses.

This book is a good starting point for your quest for a job on Wall Street, but alone, it will not be of use. It is merely a solid starting point to find out who is out there recruiting.

Save your money and buy a newspaper instead.......2001-12-11

What a waste of money! After sending about 160 letters to the various recruiters listed in this book, about 90 were returned as undeliverable due to firms out of business and people moving to different firms. The headhunter business is extremely fluid and recruiters apparently do not remain with a firm for any length of time. The book also advises people not to call a recruiter on the telephone. This must be an attempt to alleviate the recruiters from having to actually speak to a person without having a sure shot position open for them. The authors must be former recruiters because they seem to write from a recruiter's point of view and not a job seeker's. The book's advice and how-to sections are common sense; anyone with half a brain uses the steps outlined in the book already without having to be told to do so. All that this book accomplishes is to line the pockets of the authors at the expense of people who are looking for valid resources that can assist them in a job search. Ask your Uncle Ralph if he knows of anyone who is hiring and don't give these two useless people,(Christopher Hunt and Scott Scanlon) any of your hard earned money, especially if you're currently unemployed. P.S. the only reason my review has one star is because I wasn't offered the option of no stars.

Book Description

Financial Supervision in Europe discusses the implications of financial market integration for the structure of financial supervision in the European Union. It argues that, at present, negotiations on a European system of supervisors might lead to a compromise that may prove sub-optimal given the evolution of national supervisory models and international financial markets. As integration continues and the most appropriate national supervisory models emerge from a best practices approach, a reform of the organizational structure of supervision in Europe may become necessary.

The contributors provide an overview of different arguments surrounding this discussion, and illustrate that several improvements to the present structure of supervision are possible. These include proposals to facilitate the evolution of national models, and concepts to strengthen co-ordination in supervision and in establishing clear procedures in crisis management. Detailing financial market developments in Europe and the US, the book questions the incentives for national supervisory authorities to monitor cross-border activities, to exchange information and to take into account the impact of their dealings with the financial systems of other countries.

Classifying models for the organizational structure of financial supervision in Europe, this book will be of great interest to finance ministries, supervisory authorities, central banks and financial institutions. Students, lecturers and researchers of banking and finance will also find the book to be of importance.

Highly recommended for advanced economics students.......2004-06-08

Collaboratively compiled and edited by expert and educated economists Jeroen J.M. Kremers, Dirk Schoenmaker, and Peter J. Wierts, Financial Supervision In Europe is a college level debate and discussion of the repercussions of financial market integration and the structure of financial supervision in the Eurpoean Union. Questioning whether a European system of supervisors might have deleterious long-term effects upon international financial markets, and postulating that, as integration continues, a reform of the organizational structure of the supervision in Europe may become needed, Financial Supervision In Europe backs its arguments with a wealth of data, proposals to facilitate better models, examination of the incentives for national supervisory authorities to monitor cross-border matters, and much more. Highly recommended for advanced economics students, lecturers, researchers, and professionals in the world of banking and finance seeking to broaden their understanding and perceptions.

Book Description

This book contains two different parts devoted to two apparently different subjects. The combination of legal and economic papers on 'financial services and financial markets in transition' on the one hand and 'transport policy and mobility in the European Union' is however at all arbitrary. Financial services and transport are two major sectors of the economy in Europe.

Book Description

The pending establishment of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) is a cutting-edge issue on the brink of realisation. The European Central Bank (ECB) president, who will play a pivotal role in the success of EU monetary policy, has already been appointed. European Economic and Monetary Union: The Institutional Framework provides a critical and provocative insight into the preparatory and institutional aspects of the transition to the EMU, its monetary and macroeconomic policy dimensions, and in particular, the implications of the institutional design of the ECB. Topical coverage includes novel problems posed by the monetary union; a review of mechanisms in the separation between control of monetary and fiscal policy and affecting drafted financial products for use in the unprecedented monetary union; and the eventual role of the ECB in the EMU, especially in banking supervision. Based on a joint research project on the monetary union by the Centre of European Law at King's College and the London Institute of International Banking, Finance and Development Law, this work presents nineteen highly topical chapters. The authors are from varied jurisdictions and professional disciplines. Academics in banking/finance and economic law, government officials, and practitioners will appreciate the high intellectual content yet practical utility of this work on a topic poised to have a significant effect in the very near future.

Book Description

The European Union is moving towards the full implementation of the Investment Services Directive (ISD). Indeed, in some Member States, further changes to the domestic legal framework to increase competition among financial institutions and markets will complete or complement its implementation. This book analyses these developments from a legal and economic perspective. It includes updated papers written by academics and practitioners from Europe and the United States and presented at the Genoa Seminar on European Investment Markets, held in November 1996. Several papers examine critical aspects of the ISD from a comparative viewpoint, in particular considering the appropriateness of further harmonisation. The regulation of financial exchanges in the new competitive arena and the need for cooperation between supervisors receive special attention. Its evaluation of the economic impact of ISD implementation and consideration of further perspectives makes European Securities Markets one of the first and most comprehensive publications on the ISD implementation. The volume will interest and educate all those involved in European securities and derivatives markets in either a legal or economic capacity, including banking and financial lawyers, financial economists, regulators, exchanges and intermediaries.

Book Description

The idea of creation and creativity is among the most powerful and pervasive of metaphors bequeathed to the modern world by the scriptures of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Twelve specialists here explore the original sources and contemporary manifestations of the theme in both high and low culture, from the Book of Genesis to James Joyce's Ulysses, Children of Gebalawi by the Egyptian novelist Naguib Mahfouz, and the Polish poetry of Wislawa Szymborska, and to popular films, such as Bruce Almighty and Animatrix, and animation films for children. Even current debates on genetics and ecology and the public exhibition of plastinated human bodies invoke these same themes, and make this volume a topical contribution to cultural studies today.

Getting Back into the Garden of Eden studies the story of the Garden of Eden in-depth from an historical-psychological perspective for the first time. It explores how the historical experiences of the Hebrew people became transformed into the psychologically meaningful and therefore symbolic characters and situations in the first three chapters of the Genesis story. It examines the possibilities of the placement and inspiration for the Garden from the oases of the Arabian desert and the advanced irrigation culture of the areas of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.

Book Description

Back to Genesis. Taken from a composite of conferences featuring Doug Phillips and Dr. John Morris of the Institute for Creation Research, these men present an uncompromising look at the book of beginnings and its influence on science, theology, and ethics. There is an important reason why the first eleven chapters of Genesis are so under attack today. After all, every major doctrine of the Christian faith finds its origin and explanation ultimately in these chapters. Furthermore, the entire ethical foundation of Christian society is predicated on a literal understanding of Genesis, from the doctrine of marriage to the mandate for clothing. Even the great legal commentator, Sir William Blackstone, began his famous commentary on the laws of England by pointing out that Genesis was foundational to the very concepts of freedom and just law in a society. From Genesis, we understand notions of justice, mercy, property rights, and many other foundations of freedom.

Book Description

-- Lisa Cirbus Sloan, Science

Within the geological science of paleoclimatology, the earth's pre-Quaternary period--more than two million years ago--has been studied systematically only since the 1960's, when geologists started to take seriously the concept that the continents have changed position on the earth's surface. In the decades since, the study of pre-Quaternary paleoclimatology has expanded greatly. A wide variety of methods have been developed to study pre-Quaternary climates, but until now, no single text has sought to synthesize those methods.

Judith Totman Parrish's text offers a much-needed entry point into the literature. While a number of previous books have dealt with climate models and paleoclimate, this is the first to offer a sustained exploration of the methods that are the foundation of any interpretation of earth processes. Focusing primarily on the description and analysis of paleoclimatic indicators-signals of a particular climate--this valuable reference work offers detailed explanations of biotic and lithologic indicators in the marine and terrestrial realms and includes case histories of paleoclimatic studies.

The most up-to-date and comprehensive volume on the subject, Interpreting Pre-Quaternary Climatefrom the Geologic Record will be an important resource for students and scientists alike. Parrish's focus on the established, underexploited, and controversial methods bring to light a spectrum of potential new avenues of research in this field.

ASIN: 0521604583

Book Description

This study of sensibility in the eighteenth-century English novel discusses literary representations of suffering and responses to it in the social and scientific context of the period. The reader of novels shares with more scientific observers the activity of gazing on suffering, leading Ann Van Sant to explore the coincidence between the rhetoric of pathos and scientific presentation as they were applied to repentant prostitutes and children of the vagrant and criminal poor. The book goes on to explore the novel’s location of psychological responses to suffering in physical forms. Van Sant invokes eighteenth-century debates about the relative status of sight and touch in epistemology and psychology, as a context for discussing the ‘man of feeling’ (notably in Sterne’s A Sentimental Journey) - a spectator who registers his sensibility by physical means.
