Excellent Reading.......2005-10-16

I recently read this book, although I knew it has been out in print a few years. It's safe to say that I found the diverse set of profiles to be quite interesting. I wonder where some of these "minds" are now, as more difficult market conditions have proceeded the writing of this book.

Unoriginal.......2004-06-07

This book marks the top of the equity and trading bubble. It is in a line of a series of books trying to live off the success of originals such as Market Wizards. Instead of this book just read the original - Market Wizards.

Meet some professional traders and advisors.......2003-02-12

This book presents short interviews with 21 professionals in the investment field, who share their investment philosophies. It is worthwhile to understand how these professionals make their living, as some of their ideas may give you insight for you own trading strategies. But, even if you do not come away with information pertinent to your own trading style, there is value in reading about the methods of others. The authors do a good job and the book is worth reading.

Not Bad but not very filling.......2002-12-22

Some good ideas from web site promoters but only a few good ideas. Buy it used.

The best book to start investing.......2002-02-05

The best thing I can say about this book is every subject comes by his or her investment ideas honestly, and shares them openly. Most give them away, and the ones who charge formed their ideas for themselves, and only later decided to sell them. I think half of their strategies are foolish, and I think most other readers will agree with that, but we probably wouldn't pick the same half. That's okay, because between the biographies, track records and interviews in this book; plus what you can find by going to these Internet sites, you can make up your own mind. It seems like every other investment book either wants to sell you a predigested strategy, or tells you there's nothing better than putting all your money in a low-cost index fund. Bulls, Bears and Brains is the only intelligent alternative I know of.

Book Description

In June 2004, the Association of the Councils of State and Supreme Administrative Jurisdictions of the European Union organised a two-day colloquium in The Hague, during which the quality of European legislation was discussed by representatives of the 25 Member States of the EU as well as of the Court of Justice for the EC. This book is based on, amongst other things, the General Report from that colloquium, the various national reports, and reports prepared by members of the Court of Justice and the Court of First Instance. More specifically the book deals with, inter alia, the European and national legislative process; the preliminary rulings procedure as a tool and as a source for the application of European law; and the connecting links between the EU and the national legal systems.

Book Description

The aim of this study was to investigate the development and diffferentiation of the adrenal glands in the grass snake during early stages of ontogenesis. After light microscopy and ultrastructural investigation, six developmental phases were distinguished in the grass snake adrenal glands. Similar developmental phases were described in pig embryos but they slightly differ from those presented above. In reptile and mammal embryos a similar direction of changes is observed in primaordia of both tissues forming adrenal glands.

Book Description

Ecohydrology emerges as a new field of research aiming at furthering our understanding of the earth system through the study of the interactions between the water cycle and vegetation. By combining the analysis of biotic and abiotic components of terrestrial ecosystems, this volume provides a synthesis of material on arid and semiarid landscapes, which is currently spread in a number of books and journal articles. The focus on water-limited ecosystems is motivated by their high sensitivity to daily, seasonal, and decadal perturbations in water availability, and by the ecologic, climatic, and economic significance of most of the drylands around the world.

Conceived as a tool for scientists working in the area of the earth and environmental sciences, this book presents the basic principles of eco-hydrology as well as a broad spectrum of topics and advances in this research field. The chapters collected in this book have been contributed by authors with different expertise, who work in several arid areas around the World. They describe the various interactions among the biological and physical dynamics in dryland ecosystems, starting from basic processes in the soil-vegetation-climate system, to landscape-scale hydrologic and geomorphic processes, ecohydrologic controls on soil nutrient dynamics, and multiscale analyses of disturbances and patterns.

Book Description

Saké, the Japanese alcoholic beverage derived from rice, is quickly becoming one of the "coolest" international drinks after almost 2,000 years of popularity in Japan. The current nationwide rise of saké bars and saké-influenced drinks such as the sakétini hold testament to its newly gained popularity.

This newfound buzz has people more curious than ever about this traditional Japanese drink. Did you know that there are thousands of varieties of saké or that saké has 400 flavor components to wine's 200? Also, did you know that most of finest saké's are supposed to be served chilled? Or that saké has no sulphites and that the premium grades won't give you a hangover? Also, in Japan, saké is rarely served with sushi; ironic, as for most Americans saké and sushi go hand-in-hand.

Rocky Aoki, the famed restaurateur and founder of the Benihana franchise restaurants and Haru, explores this relatively unknown drink, supplying a full background to this still-mysterious beverage. Aoki examines how the rice is grown and brewed, the background and history of saké in Japanese culture, the differences between the variety of styles of saké, what types of food should be eaten with what types of saké, and where one can go to purchase or order bottles of saké.

With the same zest and appeal he has brought to his phenomenally successful Benihana chain, which entertainingly introduced the world to Japanese cuisine, Aoki, with this book, will likewise extend the same appeal to the joy of saké.

Also included in the book is Rocky's own saké guide, brands he has selected that are commonly found in the United States as well as other more specialized brands that can be purchased on the Web. They are rated as to quality, grade and price, and accompanied by suggested meals with which they are complementary.

Book Description

From where -- and what -- does water come? How did it become the key to life in the universe? Water from Heaven presents a state-of-the-art portrait of the science of water, recounting how the oxygen needed to form H2O originated in the nuclear reactions in the interiors of stars, asking whether microcomets may be replenishing our world's oceans, and explaining how the Moon and planets set ice-age rhythms by way of slight variations in Earth's orbit and rotation. The book then takes the measure of water today in all its states, solid and gaseous as well as liquid.

How do the famous El NiÃ±o and La NiÃ±a events in the Pacific affect our weather? What clues can water provide scientists in search of evidence of climate changes of the past, and how does it complicate their predictions of future global warming? Finally, Water from Heaven deals with the role of water in the rise and fall of civilizations. As nations grapple over watershed rights and pollution controls, water is poised to supplant oil as the most contested natural resource of the new century. The vast majority of water "used" today is devoted to large-scale agriculture and though water is a renewable resource, it is not an infinite one. Already many parts of the world are running up against the limits of what is readily available.

Water from Heaven is, in short, the full story of water and all its remarkable properties. It spans from water's beginnings during the formation of stars, all the way through the origin of the solar system, the evolution of life on Earth, the rise of civilization, and what will happen in the future. Dealing with the physical, chemical, biological, and political importance of water, this book transforms our understanding of our most precious, and abused, resource. Robert Kandel shows that water presents us with a series of crucial questions and pivotal choices that will change the way you look at your next glass of water.

Hydrologic cycle, the unexpurgated version.......2007-02-18

This book is a gem. Kandel has collected a delightful assemblage of facts, interspersed with history and myth, into a wonderful story of water and its importance to every aspect of life, present and past.
The book has a wealth of connections between history, society, cosmology, and meteorology, all centered around a single molecule possessing wonderful properties.
The book is a good read in itself although the last chapters seem, for some reason, not quite as smoothly-composed as the earlier chapters. The book is also a great place to begin if one is interested in almost any topic regarding water. Kandel lists numerous sources and authorities for further reading and research. I highly recommend this book.
