      From the author: David White in The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of Soul in Corporate America explores ways for professionals to take their souls to work, instead of checking them at the door. "We simply spend too much time and have too much psychic and emotional energy invested in the workplace for us to declare it a spiritual desert bereft of life-giving water." Several ideas are presented to help physician executives preserve their souls in an increasingly corporatized U.S. health care system: (1) Figure out what you are meant to do as your life's calling; (2) know what you think and want; (3) share some of what you think at work, while being careful to not lose your job unless you choose to; (4) be a trustworthy listener and find one; (5) get yourself outside; (6) pay attention to your physical space; and (7) develop some new hobbies or refresh old ones. "One of the disciplines of building a rich soul life seems to be the simple act, on a daily basis, of remembering what is most important to us."

        Book Description

        In this unique and timely book, Tanis Helliwell explores the importance of personal transformation and how it relates to the work world by considering all elements of the human experience, including our spiritual nature. The need to nurture growth and potential has never been stronger as more people leave large businesses to start their own and as others find themselves underemployed or unhappy with their current jobs. Take Your Soul to Work is an optimistic and practical book that gives people the tools to regain direction over their personal and work lives.


        People are still an organization's greatest resource and developing their potential is key to long-term success. Take Your Soul to Work asks readers to consider how they can make their own lives, and in turn their work, more meaningful. The book leads them through a step-by-step self-assessment that helps to determine one's true purpose and goals and then offers concrete methods to bring the soul-infused personality into the workplace.

        In a simple, practical, no-nonsense style, Tanis Helliwell brings eternal spiritual laws down to earth. She teaches us how to fulfill our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs in our daily lives and work situations and, in turn, trigger positive transformation in ourselves and in others.

          Book Description

          Derivatives by Paul Wilmott provides the most comprehensive and accessible analysis of the art of science in financial modeling available. Wilmott explains and challenges many of the tried and tested models while at the same time offering the reader many new and previously unpublished ideas and techniques. Paul Wilmott has produced a compelling and essential new work in this field.

          The basics of the established theories - such as stochastic calculus, Black-Scholes, binomial trees and interest-rate models - are covered in clear and precise detail, but Derivatives goes much further. Complex models - such as path dependency, non-probabilistic models, static hedging and quasi-Monte Carlo methods - are introduced and explained to a highly sophisticated level. But theory in itself is not enough, an understanding of the role the techniques play in the daily world of finance is also examined through the use of spreadsheets, examples and the inclusion of Visual Basic programs.

          The book is divided into six parts:

          Part One: acts as an introduction and explanation of the fundamentals of derivatives theory and practice, dealing with the equity, commodity and currency worlds.
          Part Two: takes the mathematics of Part One to a more complex level, introducing the concept of path dependency.
          Part Three: concerns extensions of the Black-Scholes world, both classic and modern.
          Part Four : deals with models for fixed-income products.
          Part Five : describes models for risk management and measurement.
          Part Six : delivers the numerical methods required for implementing the models described in the rest of the book.

          Derivatives also includes a CD containing a wide variety of implementation material related to the book in the form of spreadsheets and executable programs together with resource material such as demonstration software and relevant contributed articles.

          At all times the style remains readable and compelling making Derivatives the essential book on every finance shelf.

          5 out of 5 stars Great book on PDE approach to derivatives........2003-10-02

          This is actually a wonderful introduction to the theory of derivatives and personally I find it to be a little humorous on occasion as well. There is definitely some ego here but it does not interfere with the author's sincere attempt to present the material in such a way that it can be understood easily by anyone with the required math background. That of course is the problem for some: this book requires a fairly extensive math background to be really understood. Fakers may try, but the successful will have a pretty good background in mathematics. That said, the discussion of stochastic calculus is better than many have led the casual onlooker to believe. It is not rigorous but is perfectly sufficient for the subject matter at hand. A good understanding of the material in this book will make the reader truly dangerous in the realms of the PDE theory of derivatives.

          4 out of 5 stars A fine introduction from the standpoint of PDEs.......2003-09-26

          Financial engineering as a profession has exploded in the last 15 years, and has enlisted the minds of mathematicians, physicists, economists, engineers, as well as course everyday brokers and traders. This book is geared towards a mathematical audience, as one will need a background in the numerical solution of nonlinear partial differential equations and an understanding of stochastic processes (at the level of the Ito calculus). The author does devote a chapter to partial differential equations for readers who need it. Those readers with such a background will find the book very straightforward to read, especially those readers who are mathematicians or physicists, and are desiring to enter into the exciting field of financial engineering. The book is out of print, and an updated collection of books has been written by the author, but this one could still serve as an excellent introduction to the subject. In addition, this book has exercises, while the updated ones do not. Most of the results in the book can be used to develop practical trading strategies, and so the book qualifies more than being a mere academic exercise.

          The author's approach is not always rigorous from a mathematical standpoint, but this is fine since the emphasis is on developing insight into the principles behind the subject, such as the principle of arbitrage, the idea of hedging, etc. Early on, the author shows what is involved in removing oneself from the Black-Scholes world, with clear explanations of jump conditions, time-dependent volatility, and path dependency. The discussion on the valuation of American style options using partial is illuminating considering this is typically done with Monte Carlo simulations. Another interesting part of the book is the derivation of the partial differential equation for the market price of volatility risk. In addition, the author gives an overview of how to speculate with options, a topic that is truly removed from the Black-Scholes world, but of course is taken up with enthusiasm by many traders the world over. This discussion is very interesting, in that it sheds light on just how subjective preferences enter into options trading; but it also shows that such preferences can be treated quantitatively. Assuming the asset price follows a random walk, the author derives an equation for the present value of the expected payoff, an equation that differs from the Black-Scholes equation in having the drift rate rather than the interest rate in the delta term. This risk-neutral valuation is dealt with in more detail in the author's discussion on portfolio management.

          The author uses spreadsheets and Visual Basic to perform some of the numerical calculations, with many included on the accompanying CD. This is done no doubt to maintain the connection with practical trading. All of the mathematics and numerical studies could be done more efficiently though with a high-level programming language, such as Mathematica or Maple. The graphical capabilities of these languages will allow the reader to view the results of the calculations on-the-fly.

          Some omissions in the book include discussions on energy and weather derivatives, but these are covered, although in not too much detail, in the author's more recent books. Also omitted is any discussion on bandwidth markets or derivatives trading in network capacity. This is also a new area, but one that is growing rapidly. Discussion of it will no doubt be included in future books on derivatives.

          4 out of 5 stars Not to be passed by any derivative readers.......2003-01-29

          I myself find a hard time writing a review about this book, and thus not to be misleaded by the stars I gave. Perhaps what's preventing it from 5 stars is the nature of the task rather than the author's capability.

          The book is so comprehensive such that it's going to be very difficult if not impossible to find the book with greater coverage on the subject. The level of discussion should be on the intermediate level or first-year graduate students. A good background on basic derivatives or mathematics ( algebra, differential calculus, and statistics) will proof sufficient in most of the cases to follow the mathematical detivations in the book. Working out the exercises at the end of each section will be a great pleasure to all the derivative students. Unlike many other text books which provided many difficult but interesting exercises but never the solutions elsewhere as if it's the author's intention to keep the secret with themselves forever, the Book's Instructor Manual with the solutions to all the exercises is separately available through the Publisher. However, I feel that the unexperienced readers should spend some time with a more directly accessible derivatives book such as Hull's classic ( Options, Futures, and Derivatives Securities ) before approaching this book. Once this is done, you'll realize that the Author knows the subjects very well and has his interesting ways to take you to a very heart of the concepts.

          I think there are 2 limitations of this book that should be put forward. Some mathemetical concept on modern derivative pricing theory such as martingale or measure theory are only scantly touched throughout the book. Yet I have a good perception that it;s the Author's intention to follow his preferred PDE approach on derivatives pricing and to make a book more directly accessible to a practitioners i.e., derivative traders or researchers, rather than the full academic researchers. Also the treatments on interest rate through sufficiently comprehensive, is far from completion. However, the literature on interest rate derivatives is very farflung such that it should be treated in a place of it's own. I myself don't really look at this as a handicap on this book.

          All in all, I can't find any good reason why this book shouldn't be on derivatives section shelf.

          3 out of 5 stars Wide but lopsided coverage.......2000-09-01

          Paul Wilmott's book has an impressive but lopsided coverage. Paul is clearly an expert in numerical solutions of Partial Differential Equations (with a leaning towards non-linear ones, I would guess) and this topic does find useful applications in derivatives valuation. His expositions of techniques and concepts in this area is lucid and helpful. Unfortunately the 'martingale revolution' seems to have by-passed him altogher. Not only he avoids probabilistic techniques and jargon in his treatment (this could be an intelligent choice), but he gives far too scant treatment to very important related concepts - such as the change of numeraire - which have very powerful practical applications and are coneptually very far reaching. Similalry, the treatment of interest rate models is far too centered on the 'traditional' approaches, to the detriment of a serious analysis of such approaches as the BGM (in this context, I found his dismissive commnents about his colleagues in poor taste). The book would have been very good in the early 90s. Finance has moved on too much, though, for such as weeping title as 'Derivatives' to be warranted today.

          5 out of 5 stars THE DERIVATIVE BOOK.......2000-07-31

          Paul Wilmott's passion for derivatives / quantitative finance is fantastic. It's a great pleasure to read his book. Not only does he cover a vast range of topics (50 chapters), but he also presents it with loads of examples. Paul's addition of Excel Visual Basic formulas plus the wide range of references make it the book on financial engineering. It's very rare to find people who can explain such a technical topic in such a individualistic style (reminds me of Richard Feynmann who explained quantum theory without maths).

          It's still very technical though, be reminded that Paul is a mathematician, so readers who are looking for a non math book on derivatives are well advised to look for another book (e.g. Kolb).

                  The World Wide Web presents many new, exciting prospects for geographic information systems, but also numerous technical, practical and organizational challenges. Users no longer require specialized and expensive hardware, software and data, and they can access a GIS readily from almost anywhere, using off-the-shelf browser software. An online GIS removes the need to collate all the necessary elements in a single database. Instead it has the potential to seamlessly combine datasets that are stored on many different servers and maintained by many different organizations. However, to realize this potential it is crucial to develop appropriate standards and protocols. Such problems belong to the realm of "spatial metadata" which forms the basis of this book. The book covers the principles, techniques and standards for online GIS, including online spatial information and data warehousing. It examines the idea of metadata and outlines why it is important today, especially in the context of online information. It explains the underlying methodologies, including relevant standards, and the tools and skills needed to manage metadata. Finally, the subject is placed in the context of global GIS: putting data online; creating metadata; creating virtual data warehouses; geographical agents, and spatial data mining.

                        Book Description

                        It was a constant battle while they dug a grave and consigned all that was mortal of John Tippet to his last, lonely resting-place. Nor would they leave then; but remained to fashion a rude headstone from a crumbling out-cropping of sandstone and to gather a mass of the gorgeous flowers growing in such great profusion around them and heap the new-made grave with bright blooms. Upon the headstone Sinclair scratched in rude characters the words: HERE LIES JOHN TIPPET ENGLISHMAN KILLED BY TYRANNOSAURUS 10 SEPT. A.D. 1916 R.I.P. ~ ~ ~ Edgar Rice Burroughs created one of the most iconic figures in American pop culture, Tarzan of the Apes, and it is impossible to overstate his influence on entire genres of popular literature in the decades after his enormously winning pulp novels stormed the public's imagination. The third book in Burrough's Caspak series-which also includes The Land That Time Forgot and The People That Time Forgot-Out of Time's Abyss is fully enjoyable as a standalone tale. Here, Bradley, survivor of an earlier expedition to the lost continent of Caspak, near Antarctica, has been sheltered at Fort Dinosaur, and now decides to brave the dangers of the land's barbarian men and brutal dinosaurs in an attempt to get home to England. First published in book form in 1924, and a favorite of serious devotees of the author, this is one of Burrough's most thrilling science-fiction adventure stories. American novelist EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS (1875-1950) wrote dozens of adventure, crime, and science fiction novels that are still beloved today, including Tarzan of the Apes (1912), At the Earth's Core (1914), A Princess of Mars (1917), The Land That Time Forgot (1924), and Pirates of Venus (1934). He is reputed to have been reading a comic book when he died.

                        This is the tale of Bradley after he left Fort Dinosaur upon the west coast of the great lake that is in the center of the island. Upon the fourth day of September 1916, he set out with four companions through the heavy Caspakian air. About them upon the ground, among the trees and in the air over them moved and swung and soared the countless forms of Caspak's teeming life. They had taken a dozen steps, perhaps, when a hideous growl broke from a dense thicket ahead, the leafy branches parted, and the hideous head of a gigantic bear emerged. "Lie still!" shouted Bradley. "Can't waste ammunition." Like a bolt of lightning the bear flashed down upon the Englishman. "Now run!" Bradley called to Tippet and himself turned in flight toward a nearby tree. The other men, now safely ensconced upon various branches, watched the race with breathless interest. Would Bradley make it? It seemed scarce possible. And if he didn't. . . !

                        Another Caspak book, and another main character. A fan of 'B' names for this series, was Burroughs, as this one's name is Bradley.

                        Taking a trip out from Fort Dinosaur with a party of other men, things turn sour when they run into a tyrannosaur.

                        When they run into the winged men called the Wieroo they don't have too many fans, either.

                          1 out of 5 stars Great Books-Horrible Edition.......2000-03-27

                          First off: Great books! I had read these books as a teenager, and loved them. My son is at the age where he is interested in fantasy and sci-fi. We had read ERB's A Princess of Mars, and he loved it. So I was pursuing other ERB series. Many are out of print or hard to find. I ordered this compilation, as well as Pellucidar. When I got them, I was truly dissappointed. They're printed in this new "Books on Demand" format by InstaBook. It seems to be basically a bound xerox. (paper's better, but you get the idea) The indent's in each paragraph are about an inch, with small text, which makes it really annoying to read. With no interior illustration, and a cover that seems to have nothing to do with the novel.

                          I certainly recommend a lot of ERB's series for high fantasy: The Pellucidar books, The John Carter of Mars books, The Venus books and others. But if you want my advice find a different edition, or find it used somewhere. It's getting to the point where the quality of the publishing is actually an issue. You would never see a book like this in a regular book store. I wish the publisher info was listed as well, because I wouldn't buy anything by InstaBook again.

                          4 out of 5 stars Remarkable adventure story . . . early science fiction.......1999-02-13

                          I've just finished rereading this novel within the last hour. Again, I'm not disappointed.

                          The story involves a young adventurer named David Innes who decides to accompany an elderly professor on a test drive of an "iron mole." This drilling machine is intended to penetrate the earth in search of minerals. However, something goes wrong. The controls break, and the iron mole plummets straight down for hundreds of miles, to break through into an "inner earth."

                          This world is inhabited by dinosaurs, primitive tribes, and a race of evil bat-like creatures called Mayars. David must rescue a stunningly beautiful young woman, who's completely stolen his heart. But more, he must somehow end the dominance and exploitation the Mayars exert over the primitive humans in this world.

                          At the time this book was written, before 1920, there were serious treatises being written about the possibility that our earth was hollow, with an inner world to be discovered. Burroughs apparently just capitalized on this now out-of-date scientific notion.

                          The Mayars are terrifying, the girls are fantastic, and there's a nonstop series of action scenes. The friendships David makes with various prehistoric warriors are well drawn. For an episodic adventure novel, the characters are made real enough that the reader really CARES what happens to them.

                          This is the first of the Pellucidar novels. There were at least six, I believe. Pellucidar is what Burroughs called the inner world within the heart of the earth.

                          The language is clean-- the book could be recommended to young people with no concerns at all. In fact, teens -- or the young at heart -- are the prime audience for these fine adventure books.

On the high seas a ship falls victim to a marauding German U-boat. The vagaries of fate decree that soon the tables will be turned on the aggressors, and the survivors will take control. This story of war becomes something far more bizarre as the search for land and fresh water draws the polyglot crew into a subterranean channel which leads to an exotic, unknown world. When an enormous, amphibian reptile-of a type only known from distant prehistory-appears in living form and attacks, devouring a man in the process, the survivors realise that this is the start of a high adventure beyond anything they could have imagined. This Leonaur edition contains all three of Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land that Time Forgot novels and is guaranteed to deliver all the thrills and spills that Burroughs' fans expect.

                            5 out of 5 stars Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions........2007-05-26

                            Leonaur Ltd. is publishing the definitive Edgar Rice Burroughs 21st century editions. These usually contain 2 books of the different ERB major series in order - thus far John Carter, Pellucidar, and Carson of Venus. In the future, possibly Tarzan!
                            These books are handsome and my rating is mainly based on this - the ERB fan knows best about the rest of it.
                            The 3 novels is a small series of Burroughs set during World War I, where the survivors of a submarine attack singing and some of the submariners become stranded in an isolated island which time forgot. Dinosaurs, primitive men, and all the rest... . Much better than what it sounds, much better than the 2 movies, and preceding many other books where modern man meet a pre-civilization environment. Of famous such works, only Conan Doyle's Lost World adventures precede this - but I am no expert on this branch of fantastic literature!

But soon after land is sighted all hope is crushed. Long lost to the outside world, the land they have discovered-Caspak-teems with prehistoric monsters, and men of every epoch...and they're hungry. THE PEOPLE THAT TIME FORGOT Tom Billings, close friend to Bowen Tyler, sets out on a rescue mission. Having found Tyler's bottled note floating in the ocean, Billings is familiar with the dangers of Caspak, but knowledge and experience are not the same. Billings quickly finds himself alone in the land of dinosaurs and ape-men, on the run and accompanied by a beautiful Caspak native-Ajor. OUT OF TIME'S ABYSS Bradley, one of the surviving Brits from Bowen Tyler's crew, sets off into the interior of Caspak in search of Billings and a way home to England. He cuts a path through the sinewy jungle and emerges at the heart of Caspak, where he uncovers the horrible secret-a race of hideous creatures that are beyond scientific classification...beyond all imagining.
