A Simple Solution.......2001-08-26

I recommend this book to anyone needing or wanting to improve their attitude, life and spriritual faith. I enjoy reading books to improve my attitude,work, home and spiritual environment. I loaned this book to a friend who does not like to read and she read the book in one week! This book is very easy to read because it talks about the everyday life of people in the working class. There is even a "How to use this Book" section in the introduction. Use it; it works! The books covers topics from how to communicate to time management. It can be related to the business world and the spiritual aspect of your life. I like this book because it refers you to Bible verses that can help you at work, home and in spiritual areas for the motivation and the faith to change your attitude on what you need to change and to improve your best skills. The self tests are a must tool to make the changes necessary to not just survive but, to thrive everyday and enjoy it! Mary Whelchel's guidelines are easy to understand and to start using to make a positive change in your attitude, work, home and spiritual life!

Book Description

Among the most vexing challenges for entrepreneurs is how to avail themselves of the necessary services--intellectual venture capital--without burning through their seed money at a rate that makes further borrowing prohibitively expensive. Traditionally, professional firms have charged entrepreneurs a fee for their services, based on billable hours and effort. Yet in the past decade, an alternative model has emerged that obviates the entrepreneurs' conundrum while still satisfying the needs of the service provider. The alternative is an equity-for-services arrangement, whereby professionals are rewarded for their work with a stake in the new venture, to be redeemed at a later date at an initial public offering (IPO), for example, or when a trust fund matures. Both parties can benefit under such an arrangement. The entrepreneur benefits by being able to afford patent attorneys, public relations consultants, recruiting firms, and all the other knowledge providers crucial to the success of a new venture, and the intellectual venture capitalists have an incentive to work toward the long-term success of the startup. This book outlines the potential risks and rewards of equity compensation, enabling both service providers and entrepreneurs to make informed decisions.

Book Description

In this comprehensive sourcebook, Ilias Arnaoutoglou presents a collection of ancient Greek laws, which are situated in their legal and historical contexts and are interpreted with relevant selections from Greek literature and epigraphical testimonies. A wide area of legislative activity in major and minor Greek city-states is covered, ranging from Delphoi and Athens in mainland Greece, to Gortyn in Crete, Olbia in South Russia and Aegean cities including Ephesos, Samos and Thasos.

The book is divided into three legislative areas: the household; the market-place; and the state . The author explores the significance of legislation in ancient Greece, the differences and similarities between ancient Greek legislation and legislators and their modern counterparts and also provides fresh translations of the legal documents presented.

Good Book - Much Needed.......2000-07-11

As a student of Classics with a minimum language knowledge and no experience whatsoever on inscriptions I found this book a great help. Mr. Arnaoutoglou assembled many helpful laws from all over the Greek World (!not only Athens!). The fact that the laws are in translation is especially important for students who do not have the required knowledge of greek. Additionally, the bibliography is very helpfull without being burdensome. However, it is important to note one issue: the fact that the commentaries although helpful do not provide many of the nuances surrounding any given set of laws. In any case, I found this book quite helpfull as a start in studying Greek Law in general

Book Description

Britain, Ireland and their surrounding areas have a remarkably varied geology for so small a fragment of continental crust. This region contains a fine rock record from all the geological periods from Quaternary back to Cambrian, and a less continuous but still impressive catalogue of events back through nearly 2500 million years of Precambrian time. This protracted geological history would have been interesting enough to reconstruct if it had been played out on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain and Ireland have developed instead at a tectonic crossroads, on crust traversed intermittently by subduction zones and volcanic arcs, continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexity makes the geological history of this region at once fascinating and perplexing.Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells the geological story of the region at a level accessible to undergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates, professionals, or informed amateurs. The book takes a multi-disciplinary rather than a purely stratigraphical approach, and aims to bring to life the processes behind the catalogue of historical events. Full coverage is given to the rich Precambrian and Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events more relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is profusely illustrated and contains guides to further reading and full references to data sources, making it an essential starting point for more detailed studies of the regional geology.

An excellent book for UK stratigraphy.......2005-09-01

I bought this book because it was reccomended by one of my stratigraphy lecturers. Normally I buy some of the textbooks I need for my course and then never look at them again because I find the lecture notes are adequate. This book was so good though that I used it almost all the time.

The maps and diagrams are very clear so it's easy to understand what they show and they offer a visual summary of the information contained in each chapter. The book covers a different geological age or an event (such as the Variscan Orogeny) in separate chapters. Each chapter provides detailed information on the different types of rocks that were formed and their characteristics, and the environment they were formed in. My only difficulty with this book is that it can be quite hard to use if you are looking for something specific because the text can jump around in places, but if you're taking a course in UK stratigraphy or palaeoenvironments then I reccomend this book fully.

Book Description

This modern introduction to the physics of superconductors was edited by Paul Müller, (Walter Schottky Award for Solid-state Research) and Alexey V. Ustinov, both at the University of Erlangen. The revised and enlarged text is based on a lecture course given by V.V. Schmidt at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. It provides a modern treatment of the physics of superconductors with special attention paid to the physical interpretation of the phenomena. This English edition has been enlarged by the inclusion of such new developments as high-temperature superconductivity, and, as such, is the most up-to-date textbook available on the subject. Numerous problems with solutions help the student to become familiar with this field.

Book Description

Jane Addams (1860-1935) is here portrayed as an important moving force in the transformation of America from rural and agricultural to urban and industrial, from laissez-faire to general welfare state.
