E for effort, but no cigar.......2003-08-05

There are just too many genuinely useful books on NLP around to make this one worth reading.

This book changed my life.......2002-04-18

This book literally changed my life. After reading the book, I contacted the authors to congratulate them. They invited me to attend one of their NLP training courses and it was one of the most thought provoking and inspiring days I have ever spent. The book itself became a bible for me and I follow its exercises in everything I do. The last chapter on goal setting is one of the best that I have ever read.

Clear and practical self-help.......2001-06-05

The unique contribution of NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) lies in helping us to change the way we think. "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new lands but in seeing with new eyes."--Marcel Proust. (p.67) The authors guide us along with case studies and clear explanations. They stress the importance of doing the exercises provided rather than just reading the book. Key NLP concepts have been smoothly woven into this matrix of facing fears and change, exploring values and beliefs, learning how to become resourceful, improving communication and going for what we want. It is easy to follow. If you are attracted by the title of the book and are new to NLP, you will certainly find much help from this book.

Yet another masterpiece for the doctor.......2003-01-07

After reading the Doctors masterpiece three times, i had enough of his theta gamma explanations. I am an avid reader who greatly enjoyed the Doctor's complicated explanations. I totally agree with Elvis. Great work again doctor

Yet another masterpiece for the doctor.......2003-01-07

Top class reference.......2001-03-22

I've been working in Futures & Options research for 3 years now, and this has proven to be the best refernce guide available. Terrence elucidates the concepts and mechanisms underlying the treasury bond basis with eloquence and intellect. His other work, Eurodollar Futures and Options, is also a great reference for the shorter end of the curve.

THE textbook for basis trading.......2001-03-22

This is simply the only truly readable and authoritative book on its subject. Terry Belton is acknowledged as being the foremost authority on futures research, and this book bears it out. If you're thinking about basis trading, or work in the derivatives market, this book is well worth a look.

(I should also mention that Terry is my boss..doesn't stop it being a good book, though. Hope I get that raise!)

Simply Outstanding.......2000-12-27

Dr. Belton has once again outdistanced himself from other writers on this topic. His clear concise style is refreshing.Belton provides all the technical details needed and presents them in a logical and easy to follow manner.A must for any risk manager. I strongly recommend this book and Dr. Belton's previos work, Eurodollar.

Book Description

The 2nd edition of The Futures Bond Basis, is an updated and revised version of Professor Moorad Choudhry's succinct but in-depth look at the government bond futures contract basis. It includes essential background on contract specifications and the theory of the basis. It also covers the concept of the cheapest to deliver; price and delivery data for a sample of gilt contracts; the drivers of the basis and its dynamics; the mechanics of basis trading; a detailed explanation of gross and net basis, and an explanation of the implied repo rate. The book uses examples from the UK gilt market, although the basic principles are applicable in any bond futures market.

bad bad bad book ..........2007-02-06

dont waste your money.. i am going to say the same thing I told about Repo Markets book by this author..
don't buy this book.. it should be given 0 stars
writing is bad.. repeats the same concepts over and over again.. these same concepts can be seen in his other books too.

this author is basically a reporter.. he pulls content out of other books and presents it.. very bad presentation..

i got fooled by some of the good reviews for the his other book "the bond and money markets-strategy trading analysis' and bought that book. That book was ok. But this book is really badly written. Another crappy book is the 'yield curve' book.. he repeats the same concepts over and over again and had horrible presentation skills.. he thinks he is writing a research paper with bibilography in the end.

Forewarned is forearmed.......2004-09-16

A savvy dissection of the intimidating test by someone who has administered it for years, revealing its hidden structures, obfusicating tricks, and misunderstood objectives. The 9-12-18 strategy, which diagnoses your optimal balance between speed and accuracy, is alone worth the price of this manual. Various study programs are outlined for those who have anywhere between seven days and seven weeks in which to prepare.

Light on actual advice, heavy on fluff.......2003-09-08

I lost my copy of "Master the LSAT," (which I highly recommend) and picked this up to replace it. Big mistake.

While some of the sections are nice (lots of advice on how to stay calm), some of it is just unnecessary. The author spent far too long (and wasted pages) explaining how "academic conditioning" is harmful to your score, and wasted an entire page explaining what each question is made up of: Directions, statement, (ie, passage or game) question and answers. I think I could've figured that one out myself. These are just some examples of the fluff in the book. Almost half the book consists of sections on planning, taking a diagnostic test, and calming down. Only about 60-70 pages are given to actual advice on each of the LSAT sections.

Compare this to the "Master the LSAT": larger page count, similar price, much more attention to devoted to what I wanted in a test prep book: advice on the test sections!

Why did I give it 2 stars instead of 1? Some of the sections are useful, particularly his advice on how to determine how long to spend on each sub section of the test (ie, each game or passage section).

In short, I do not think there is enough useful advice in this book to warrant the price, and it seems that much of it is fluff meant to increase the page count.

Book Description

Within nonlinear spatio-temporal dynamics, active lattice systems are of relevance to the study of multi-dimensional dynamical systems and the theory of nonlinear waves and dis- sipative structures of extended systems. In this book, the authors deal with basic concepts and models, with methodolo- gies for studying the existence and stability of motions, understanding the mechanisms of formation of patterns and waves, their propagation and interactions in active lattice systems, and about how much cooperation or competition bet- ween order and chaos is crucial for synergetic behavior and evolution. The results described in the book have both in- ter- and trans-disciplinary features and a fundamental cha- racter. It is a textbook for graduate courses in nonlinear sciences, including physics, biophysics, biomathematics, bioengineering, neurodynamics, electrical and electronic engineering, mathematical economics, and computer sciences.

Book Description

The Hellenistic Age, the three extraordinary centuries from the death of Alexander in 323 B. C. to Octavian's final defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium, has offered a rich and variegated field of exploration for historians, philosophers, economists, and literary critics. Yet few scholars have attempted the daunting task of seeing the period whole, of refracting its achievements and reception through the lens of a single critical mind. Alexander to Actium was conceived and written to fill that gap.
In this monumental work, Peter Green--noted scholar, writer, and critic--breaks with the traditional practice of dividing the Hellenistic world into discrete, repetitious studies of Seleucids, Ptolemies, Antigonids, and Attalids. He instead treats these successor kingdoms as a single, evolving, interrelated continuum. The result clarifies the political picture as never before. With the help of over 200 illustrations, Green surveys every significant aspect of Hellenistic cultural development, from mathematics to medicine, from philosophy to religion, from literature to the visual arts.
Green offers a particularly trenchant analysis of what has been seen as the conscious dissemination in the East of Hellenistic culture, and finds it largely a myth fueled by Victorian scholars seeking justification for a no longer morally respectable imperialism. His work leaves us with a final impression of the Hellenistic Age as a world with haunting and disturbing resemblances to our own. This lively, personal survey of a period as colorful as it is complex will fascinate the general reader no less than students and scholars.

Customer Reviews:

History is good, literary interpretation is dated.......2007-05-31

History from the hellenistic period is complicated and confusing. Green does a great job of organizing the material and making it understandable. The main beef I have is that his depiction of the literary movement as somehow anti-establishment is just wrong. This just put a big damper on the rest of the history. The literature is even more complex than the history, but the quality of the book otherwise makes the error inexcusable.

A stunning work.......2006-12-13

Having known very little about the Hellenistic period beyond what I picked up from Will Durant (who I still love, in spite of his ill repute among professional historians), I must say Mr. Green has pretty much filled in all the gaps with his exhaustive history. Yes, you have to battle your way through a host of historical figures and the innumerable power plays of the post-Alexander disentegration. And yes, I needed to pull out my dictionary on occasion. (Although my Webster's New World Dictionary doesn't include 'protreptics'.) Also, Mr. Green is way too fond of certain words and phrases, such as 'inter alia' and (especially) 'banausic'. But these are very minor complaints from a non-scholar. Frankly, I wish I knew this much. Had this much culture. Mr. Green is as familiar with modern poetry as with the ancient classics, and often draws comparisons. This is history as I like it: opinionated. Not biased, however. There's a difference. Mr. Green tells you in detail about the Cynics and Epicureans, and then follows that with his opinion. But you are given plenty of information with which to make up your own mind. (I get the impression he doesn't think much of the Cynics, thinks a little better of Epicurus, and thinks even better of the Stoics, though with major reservations.) I don't know if Mr. Green has a 'circular' view of history, but this is the kind of book that (for me at least) reinforces that view. Plus ça change... This isn't the easiest of books to read, especially when wading through the names of so many unfamiliar characters. But stick with it. Your brain will feel better in the end. A most excellent volume.

to be read with caution.......2006-05-23

As it happens sometimes the author hates its subject. This is the case. Green doesn't miss any chance to discredit the period he's writing about.

Almost half of the chapters are devoted to philosophy, literature, art. And this is would be too much for me already. Yet, every poet or philosopher is scientifically demolished (this is the only scientific thing in this book), ofter with very personal and badly argued opinions and views.

Maybe hellenistic times represented a decline as far as literature and philosophy are conserned. But what about Euclid, Archimedes, Herophilos, Aristarchus, Eratosthenes namely the founders of modern geometry, mathematics, statics, idrodynamics, anatomy, astronomy? The hellenistic age gave birth to modern science. Yet, only thirty pages (of almost eight hundreds!) are devoted to those striking accomplishments, and only to diminish them.

An absolutly masterfull synthesis of a subject vast in scope.......2006-03-17

Peter Green's volume is, I will admit one of my favorite books. While I do not agree with all of his interpretations, I have never seen a single volume that has dealt with such a vast subject so well. I am deeply envious of his command of the source material and bow to him. This is, however, not a book for casual reading. It is for the interested amature. It helps if you are familiar with the basic narative history, although it is presented in the work as well. This book does for the Hellenistic world what A.H.M. Jones two volumes did for the later Roman Empire.

Brilliant.......2005-08-07

I was a student of Green's Greek Civilization 3-semester sequence at the University of Texas. This work is clearly related to his lecture style and thorough style of documentation.

One comment by the other readers concerns me. In my view, based on my background in the sciences and his own comments, Green is, above all, a scientist, believing that every item in historical analysis is subject to criticism and refutation. There's little in this text (and it IS a text--not casual reading) that suggests it is in any way "subjective." He was also, in my mind, a great teacher, providing a last gasp of academic brilliance into what's become a polytechnic degree mill.

Green is a master of the discipline, and this tome represents a lifetime of work. I doubt if it's meant to be "enjoyed." It is meant to be read and to be understood, and hopefully to serve as a reference for further investigation.

He's certainly written other books that are far more succinct and accessible. This one is for true students of Hellenistic Greece.
