4 out of 5 stars Street Smart Manager : a pretty good book.......2006-06-07

its been years since i read this book & i just wondered tonight if it was still in print.

like the previous reviewer, i also felt the book to be an easy read with valuable insights from a very successful man.

as i recall, he was the first executive to hit the one million dollar a year salary.

some might say his advice tends to be simplistic. and it is which is why its such a good book. the advice is REAL and isn't the trendy trash that authors hawk today simply to make a buck.

for example, he reminds the reader that your mistakes in life are worth their weight in gold. the bigger the mistake, the MORE valuable it is ! ( " so long as you survive it." ) the meaning of course: don't be discouraged in life. we all make mistakes. LEARN from your mistakes to be a more successful person.

he stresses honesty and points out that the safest route through life is " well within the line. not on the line and certainly not over the line." in other words, don't be an enron ceo. value your honesty in life & your honesty will take care of you more than dishonest gain will take care of you.

this last concept has served me well. never having had a good upbringing and coming from a fractured family life with an ex-con father, i followed the author's advice. and he was right. i've been considered a bore by many. i've been laughed at. other people have thought themselves superior to me in their life skills. but, well, guess who came from a poor lad without even enough food in the kitchen to a net worth of nearly a million bucks... with good health ... and eating top of the line food... and taking cruises to tahiti, etc.? yep. honesty works just as he said it would. ( oh, and those other people who thought they were smarter than me? well, lesse. prison. drug addicted. dead. ).

the book is simple to read. nearly too easy. but for a person who needs help for lack of family or close friends, its a winner. then you graduate to the next level: proverbs.

This a readable book by a very successful man, who shares the basis of his success (and of others he's worked with, including Norton Simon). He is a noncomformist in a business suit, who has questioned orthodoxy and the status quo, to the benefit of his bank account. I'm surprised it is out of print, because it deserves to be the business classic that the lesser (but still valuable) WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AT HARVARD BUSINESS SCHOOL is.

Book Description

Since financial myths exploded in the 1980s, the perspective of time creates a unique opportunity to update and expand the analysis begun in Glenn Yago's 1991 book, Junk Bonds: How High Yield Securities Restructured Corporate America (Oxford University Press). At the time of its publication, Junk Bonds drew controversial responses from the Federal Reserve and government agencies. In retrospect, the evidence clearly casts favorable light on the role of high yield securities. The research presented here demonstrates how financial innovations enabled capital access for industrial restructuring, capital and labor productivity gains, and improved global competitiveness. Enough time has now passed to allow this dispassionate empirical analysis to shear away the hype and hysteria that surrounded the Wall Street scandals, Washington controversies, and media frenzy of the time. Beyond Junk Bonds provides a one-stop data, reference and case study presentation of the firms and securities in the contemporary high yield market and the financial innovations that spurred growth in the nineties and will continue to finance the future. The high yield market incubated successive waves of financial technologies that now proliferate beyond junk bonds to all the dimensions and dynamics of global debt and equity capital markets. It charts the recovery of the market in the 1990s, the recent wave of fallen angels, distressed credits and defaults, and suggests how the high yield market will be recreated in the global market of the 21st century. It explicates the linkages between the high yield market, and other credit and equity markets in managing a firm's capital structure to execute its business strategy. The weakening of the U. S. economy in 2001 and the huge shock to Wall Street from the terrorist attacks of September 11 witnessed a historic increase in the yield to maturity of high yield bonds. Despite the volatility in the flow of funds to high yield mutual funds and occasionally sharp increases in non-investment grade debt yields, the asset class has been one of the best performing fixed income investments of the past decades. In fact, high yield bonds offer an attractive risk-reward ratio competitive with more traditional asset classes. Anyone active in corporate finance, financial institutions and capital markets will find this book a must read for interpreting and understanding the recent history both of the high yield marketplace and its interaction with private equity, public equity, and fixed income markets.

3 out of 5 stars A Good Reference Piece.......2004-03-08

This book has a somewhat too academic feel. Meant more as a history book than a treatise on HY bonds - it does provide an excellent backdrop for future thought processes and how the current market's recent tightening fits with empirical analysis.
I recommend this book for any junk trader or bond manager with manadates for HY as a must-read for added perspective BUt do not expect to be over-whelmed by insights into CDOs, CSOs, or trading strategies in the current markets.

                    Book Description

                    More than 20 years after the ban of DDT and other organochlorine pesticides, pesticides continue to be detected in air, rain, soil, surface water, bed sediment, and aquatic and terrestrial biota throughout the world. Recent research suggests that low levels of some of these pesticides may have the potential to affect the development, reproduction, and behavior of fish and wildlife, and possibly humans. Pesticides in Stream Sediment and Aquatic Biota: Distribution, Trends, and Governing Factors assesses the occurrence and behavior of pesticides in bed sediment and aquatic biota-the two major compartments of the hydrologic system where organochlorine pesticides are most likely to accumulate. This book collects, for the first time, results from several hundred monitoring studies and field experiments, ranging in scope from individual sites to the entire nation. Comprehensive tables provide concise summaries of study locations, pesticides analyzed, and study outcomes. Comprehensive and extensively illustrated, Pesticides in Stream Sediment and Aquatic Biota: Distribution, Trends, and Governing Factors evaluates the sources, environmental fate, geographic distribution, and long-term trends of pesticides in bed sediment and aquatic biota. The book focuses on organochlorine pesticides, but also assesses the potential for currently used pesticides to be found in bed sediment and aquatic biota. Topics covered in depth include the effect of land use on pesticide occurrence, mechanisms of pesticide uptake and accumulation by aquatic biota, and the environmental significance of observed levels of pesticides in stream sediment and aquatic biota.

                      Description:
                      In the Republic of Benin, aquatic ecosystems are subject to poisoning risks due to the inappropriate use of pesticides, such as washing of empty bottles in rivers and using pesticides to catch fish. In some areas, cotton fields are located near riverbanks, increasing the probability of pesticide emission to the river. To assess contamination levels in the Oueme River catchment area, different fish species were collected from different geographical areas along the river. DDT, its metabolites and isomers were the most frequently identified pesticides in fish flesh, @a-endosulfan, @b-endosulfan, dieldrin, telodrin, lindane and octachlorostyrene were also detected. Concentrations of pesticide residues in fish ranged from 0 to 1364ng/g lipid. A preliminary risk assessment indicated that the daily intake of chlorinated pesticides by people consuming fish from the Oueme River still is rather low and does not present an immediate risk.

                        Description:
                        The levels and distribution patterns of the selected organochlorine pesticides (OCPs=p,p'-DDT, o,p'-DDT, p,p'-DDE, p,p'-DDD, @a-, @b-, @c- and @d-HCH) in surficial sediments from the Haihe River and Dagu Drainage River of Tianjin were investigated by means of gas chromatography coupled with micro-electronic capture detector (GC-@mECD). Concentrations of OCPs in the sediments from the Haihe River ranged from 1.88 to 18.76ngg^-^1 (mean 7.33ngg^-^1) for @?HCH, 0.32-80.18ngg^-^1 (mean 15.94ngg^-^1) for @?DDT. Compared with the Haihe River, the Dagu Drainage River was much more contaminated by HCHs and DDTs, wherein @?HCH ranged from 33.24 to 141.03ngg^-^1 (mean 87.74ngg^-^1) and @?DDT ranged from 3.60 to 83.49ngg^-^1 with a mean value of 35.52ngg^-^1. The concentration distribution of @?DDT and @?HCH was different indicated their different contamination sources. Composition analyses indicated that a recent usage or discharge of HCH and DDT into the Dagu Drainage River.

                            Book Description

                            An introduction to multivectors, dyadics, and differential forms for electrical engineers

                            While physicists have long applied differential forms to various areas of theoretical analysis, dyadic algebra is also the most natural language for expressing electromagnetic phenomena mathematically. George Deschamps pioneered the application of differential forms to electrical engineering but never completed his work. Now, Ismo V. Lindell, an internationally recognized authority on differential forms, provides a clear and practical introduction to replacing classical Gibbsian vector calculus with the mathematical formalism of differential forms.

                            In Differential Forms in Electromagnetics, Lindell simplifies the notation and adds memory aids in order to ease the reader's leap from Gibbsian analysis to differential forms, and provides the algebraic tools corresponding to the dyadics of Gibbsian analysis that have long been missing from the formalism. He introduces the reader to basic EM theory and wave equations for the electromagnetic two-forms, discusses the derivation of useful identities, and explains novel ways of treating problems in general linear (bi-anisotropic) media.

                            Clearly written and devoid of unnecessary mathematical jargon, Differential Forms in Electromagnetics helps engineers master an area of intense interest for anyone involved in research on metamaterials.

                                  Crystal structure analysis from powder diffraction data has attracted considerable and ever growing interest in the last decades. X-ray powder diffraction is best known for phase analysis (Hanawalt files) dating back to the 30s. In the late 60s the inherent potential of powder diffraction for crystallographic problems was realized and scientists developed methods for using powder diffraction data at first only for the refinement of crystal structures. With the development of ever growing computer power profile fitting and pattern decomposition allowed to extract individual intensities from overlapping diffraction peaks opening the way to many other applications, especially to ab initio structure determination. Powder diffraction today is used in X-ray and neutron diffraction, where it is a powerful method in neutron diffraction for the determination of magnetic structures. In the last decade the interest has dramatically improved. There is hardly any field of crystallography where the Rietveld, or full pattern method has not been tried with quantitative phase analysis the most important recent application.

                                    Product Description

                                    Statistics in Language Research gives a non-technical but more or less complete treatment of Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) for language researchers. ANOVA is the most frequently used technique when handling the outcomes of research designs with more than two treatments or groups. This technique is used in all parts of linguistics which deal with observations obtained in survey studies and in (quasi-)experimental research, like applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, language and speech pathology and phonetics. Most statistical textbooks in the social sciences take examples typical of their own field and, in addition, omit subjects which are particularly relevant for language researchers, like power analysis, quasi F, F1, F2 and minF'. This book offers a thorough introduction to the basic principles of analysis of variance, based on examples taken from language research, and goes beyond the conventional topics treated in introductory textbooks, as it covers topics like 'violations of assumptions', 'missing data', 'problems in repeated measures designs', 'alternatives to analysis of variance' (such as randomization tests and multilevel analysis). Each chapter consists of four sections: treatment of the subject under discussion, a summary of relevant terms and concepts, a section devoted to reporting statistics, and finally an exercise section. After the first introductory chapter, in which fundamental concepts like 'variables', 'cases' and SPSS data formats are presented, the book continues with two 'refreshment' chapters, in which the principles of statistical testing are revised, focusing on the well-known t test. These chapters also deal with the essential, but often neglected concepts of 'statistical power' and 'sample size'. In every chapter examples of SPSS input and output are given.

                                    The Rietveld method is a powerful and relatively new method for extracting detailed crystal structural information from X-ray and neutron powder diffraction data. Since then structural details dictate much of the physical and chemical attributes of materials, knowledge of them is crucial to our understanding of those properties and our ability to manipulate them. Since most materials of technological interest are not available as single crystals but often are available only in polycrystalline or powder form, the Rietveld method has become very important and is now widely used in all branches of science that deal with materials at the atomic level.

                                    3 out of 5 stars A COMPACT OVERVIEW OF THE RIETVELD METHOD.......1999-03-10

                                    Professor Young's must be congratulated for having made a great effort in putting together an up-to-date book on the Rietveld Method. The books gives a rather comprehensive overview of the underlying principles of this very important technique of powder diffraction. It may be quite useful for the uninitiated scientist in this exciting field. Hence, the book should be considered an 101 level course in Rietveld Analysis. Although, each chapter is rigorously written and all the chapter arranged in a systematic fashion, the book simply lacks "case studies" in the step by step application of the technique. Therefore, only a 3 star rating given. Most of the "newcomer" suffer from the lack of guides on how to perform Rietveld refinements and resources in this area is extremely scarce. To sum up, those who wish to have an idea on what the Rietveld method is all about and what it can do for you, this book would most certainly be a valuable reference (especially references cited therein would come in very handy!).

                                        The Rietveld method allows the quantification of crystalline phases and amorphous material identified by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and other diffraction methods. The method assists in determining the speciation of contaminants in solid matrices both qualitatively and quantitatively in a statistically defensible approach, as it does not focus on a microscale. Rietveld was applied to chromite ore processing residue (COPR), a cementitious waste containing hexavalent chromium. Calcium aluminum chromium oxide hydrates (CACs) were the crystalline phases identified by XRPD that bind Cr^6^+ in COPR according to their chemical formula. Rietveld quantification, combined with mass balances on Cr^6^+, showed that CACs may bind Cr^6^+ in variable percentages, ranging from 25% to 85%. Analysis of duplicate samples showed that material variability is the predominant factor of uncertainty in evaluating the role of CACs in Cr^6^+ speciation, provided that a consistent quantification strategy is pursued. The choice of strategy was performed on the basis of the pertinent literature, preliminary analyses of the equipment and the software settings, and mass balances. The correlation between the average CAC-bound Cr^6^+ concentration and the total Cr^6^+ for five samples (R^2=0.94), extracted from different zones and soil borings, suggests that CACs are a primary sink for Cr^6^+ in COPR.
