Job Seekers Sourcebooks: For Financial Positions Nationwide (Job Seekers Sourcebooks Series)

Book Description

This pioneering book will make the difference between a successful first-time route into a neighboring country and possible problems that could mean a driver's last trip across the border. Written for professional drivers crossing borders between Canada, the United States, and Mexico, this step-by-step guidebook offers explanations for many of the issues relative to policies among the three countries, compiled into a usable format to help drivers avoid delays and other problems often associated with border crossing. Information regarding the "must know" facts about each country will make every international driver using this book an asset for carriers and their clients.

Book Description

The author demonstrates that the resources (income and wealth) available to most categories of employees has declined over the past 20 years relative to the total income and wealth in our society. Arguing that the decline of the heavy industry sector of the economy has eroded the power of organized labor, which was most concentrated in precisely these industries, Tigges suggests that the declining power of the unions has resulted in a lessened ability for employees to bargain for higher wages with their employers, thereby reducing employees' relative share of the national income.

Customer Reviews:

Okay, if you're starved for Katz - but not sensational.......2007-07-06

This has some decent chuckles in it, but struck me as a small idea stretched a little thin. Also, not apparently written by Jonathan Katz, but rather written in the style of the TV show's sense of humor.

Okay for a Katz fanatic, but not altogether fulfulling.

A passionate book about life, love, and losers........1997-07-02

This is a book about a man and his mission in life: to blunder around and sing a little bit in between shows. Filled with lyrics about things that describe how, I think, we all feel when sitting in a bathtub. This book is humourful, and yet it is a tragically accurate depiction of modern culture and one man caught in the frenzy of it all. This is a book that speaks to the heart, and it screams out "I'm lonely". Read this while your drunk, it's better that way. You'll cry, you'll, um, chuckle, but you'll love "Me at a Glance"

I didn't know my eyes could bleed.......1997-06-02

This book opened my eyes to a different approach of psychotherapy, but they quickly shut soon afterwords and I fell asleep. Any book that can put you to sleep while riding a roller coaster, impresses me. All kidding aside, I feel that Dr. Katz has struck an above the belt blow for humor. Witty, intelligent, and intensely funny are some of the words I would use to describe my review. "Enough already" as Jonathan would say. The book was great and I plan on reading it again. I will recomend it to my friends, family, coworkers, and even my evil enemies

Book Description

The first book, the definitive book from HIP-HOP'S ORIGINAL DYNASTY

Since the release of the revolutionary Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the Wu-Tang Clan has been hip-hop's leading creative force. Over the course of four seminal group albums and a multitude of ambitious side projects, they have constantly redefined the outer edge of what hip-hop can do and where hip-hop can go. Now, after a decade of dark beats and mysterious lyrics hinting at a larger whole, the legendary Staten Island hip-hop collective fully reveals, for the first time, the complex, multi-layered Wu-Tang Universe.

Spearheaded by the RZA, the "Abbot" of the Clan, The Wu-Tang Manual unravels the intricate web of personalities (and alter egos), warrior codes, numerological systems, and Eastern spiritual ethics that define the Wu-Tang dynasty. Here you'll find the key to Shaolin, to the Nine Rings and to the 36 Chambers, to the eight-point sun and to the rest of the enduring mysteries of Wu-Tang. The Wu-Tang Manual also contains the first official and comprehensive lyrical encyclopedia of the Wu-Tang, complete with musical, technical, and anecdotal analysis and annotation by the Clan.

For the hardcore Wu-Tang disciple and the recent initiate alike, The Wu-Tang Manual is the definitive guide to the essence of Wu.

Customer Reviews:

Wow!.......2007-08-29

I bought this book because I have been an avid fan of the Wu since high school. I had a feeling it would be good but little did I know that it would be in the tops of the bests books I've ever read in my life. If you've ever listened to a Wu song and wondered what this line meant, or what this word means, look no further. Who knew that there was actual rhyme and reason to ever since word picked for their lyrics.

If this is truely only a volume 1 out of many, I can't wait for the others. No matter what level of Wu fan you are, this will double it at least. Get this book.

Not for newcomers.......2007-08-18

The Wu-Tang Clan has been of the primary influences in my life, starting my interest in Hip-Hop music and culture as a youth through adulthood. This book is amazing; however, a novice listener of the Wu will not truly understand this book. A bandwagon listener of the Wu will not truly understand this book. This book is for the true heads, the people that have been intrigued with the sound, slang, style and charisma of the Wu-Tang ever since they first dropped on the music scene. If you're one of these fans, buy this book; you won't be dissapointed. For all you corny,wannabe, Johnny-come-latelys that claim to be a Wu fan and only own The W and Iron Flag, do us all a favor and don't buy this book; it will be a piece of genius that will go to waste collecting dust.

Witty Unpredictable Talent And Natural Game!

The RZA makes another classic!.......2006-11-05

This book is great for all Wu fans! Rza gives an in-depth look into the history of the Wu Tang Clan, its members, its songs and even the philosophies of the clan. This is a must read for anyone interested in the true innovators of the hip-hop game. From being the first rap group to have a clothing line, to the first rappers with a video game - the WU really taught all other rap labels how to stunt and laid a blueprint down for being successful in areas other than just rapping. Get this book to gain insight on the most prolific rap super group ever!

ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING........2006-04-13

The Wu-Tang Manual is akin to all the EU (Expanded Universe) novels, comic books, and publications related to the Star Wars franchise for a hip hop fan of one of the culture's biggest phenomenons ever. The Manual is chock full of EVERYTHING an intellectual listener and avid fan of the Wu would want to know: biographies, lyrics explanations, philosophy, music equipment, and spirituality.

The Wu-Tang started a new sound in hip hop in early '93: gritty, minimalistic, atonal, and lo-fi, all exemplified in the classic debut 'Enter: The Wu-Tang'. From then on, a legend was born: numerous solo albums from all nine members, even including the honorary tenth member Cappadonna, movies, television, touring, guest appearances on other artists' projects, RZA even composed music for the original soundtrack to the Tarantino's two-parter 'Kill Bill'. The Wu-Tang even have their own "Expanded Universe" of branch-off emcees and groups that rivals the amount of material in that of the Star Wars EU (e.g. Cilvaringz, Killah Priest, Sunz of Man, Black Knights, Killarmy, etc.). And they're STILL going strong with a slew of new albums already dropping (Ghost's awesome 'Fishscale', Sunz' 'Old Testament', etc.). The Wu-Tang Clan are HIP HOP LEGENDS, and this Manual chronicles the beginning of the movement all the way to the present, even chronicling the events that shaped the life of Robert Diggs (RZA), which would eventually also shape his movement.

To the initiated, [hip hop] heads know the Wu stand for something and they're some pretty deep brothers. RZA quotes everyone from Nietzsche to the Hagakure, a guide of bushido commentaries for the warrior (samurai). Being heavily into philosophy myself, I was really intrigued and exhilerated to read what some of the artist's actually meant behind some of their poetic verses. I saw this book at a mom 'n' pop store (Hasting's) in San Marcos and absolutely fell in love with it.

If you're into hip hop, you're more than likely a fan of the Wu as well, and if you are, YOU NEED THIS BOOK -- become more intimately knowledgeable of the legendary Clan and everything they stand for and how they came to be. "CLAN IN THE FRONT!"

Must Have.......2006-04-05

If you're a Wu-Tang fan, you must buy this book. I think they could go deeper in few subjects, but it is good enough for the first book.

Book Description

East African, notably, Ethiopian, cuisine is perhaps the most well known in the States. This volume illuminates West, southern, and Central African cuisine as well to give students and other readers a solid understanding of how the diverse African peoples grow, cook, and eat food and how they celebrate special occasions and ceremonies with special foods. Readers will also learn about African history, religions, and ways of life plus how African and American foodways are related. For example, cooking techniques such as deep frying and ingredients such as peanuts, chili peppers, okra, watermelon, and even cola were introduced to the United States by sub-Sahara Africans who were brought as slaves. Africa is often presented as a monolith, but this volume treats each region in turn with representative groups and foodways presented in manageable fashion, with a truer picture able to emerge. It is noted that the boundaries of many countries are imposed, so that food culture is more fluid in a region. Commonalities are also presented in the basic format of a meal, with a starch with a sauce or stew and vegetables and perhaps some protein, typically cooked over a fire in a pot supported by three stones. Representative recipes, a timeline, glossary, and evocative photos complete the narrative.

Anthropologists write the BEST cookbooks.......2007-03-12

You won't find many recipes in this, nor will they be very exotic. But you will learn a lot about the driving forces behind the food. Even "Nando's Chickenland" has a section.

Sub-Saharan Africa is broken up in chunks and discussed seperately. Anything that the authors felt might influence food in some way is included, from Nando's to AIDs. This is a great book if you are interested in more than just the recipes, but if you are looking for recipes it might be best to avoid it.

Book Description

Art Carpenter thoroughly updates his successful first edition with an extensive collection of new examples and techniques. Addressing the composition and operation of the SAS macro facility and the SAS macro language, this second edition is filled with ready-to-use macros, macro functions, and macro tools that will enable you to effortlessly convert SAS code to macros, define macro variables, and more! New topics include writing user interfaces with %WINDOW, using SYSPARM and SYSPBUFF, using CALL EXECUTE, deleting macro variables using %SYMDEL, using macro recursion, and creating your own macro functions. Also included are new SAS 9 features such as statements that include %ABORT and %RETURN, system options for the macro language, macro functions, autocall library macros, and code recovery options for compiled stored macro libraries. Many topics from the first edition have been expanded. Whether you're a new user with a basic understanding of Base SAS or an experienced programmer looking for an advanced reference manual, this is the macro book that you've been searching for!

Customer Reviews:

Excellent!!!.......2007-01-15

I am highly satified with the shipping method and the condition of the book.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!

Thanks!

For Beginners Only.......2005-10-10

It is definitely not for advanced programmers, it is not designed to train you the ability to write your own code entirely as when using C++ or R language.
The book basically tells you how to manipulate existing SAS macro functions with the framework of SAS data step. I strongly doubt that a reader who finishes this book would acquire the ability to write a simple code on his own, for example, a code to compute the sum of integers from 1 to 100 under Macro environment.

But still, this is not a very bad book for two reasons:
1, there are not many books about writing (true) code in SAS;
2, the programming under SAS macro is very limited due to its poor design.

great for advanced programmers .......2005-08-18

Gives a fairly detailed overview of the SAS macro language. Great for users with a little bit of background. The book is not supplemented with an CD, it falls upon the reader to experiment.

excellent book for SAS/macro.......2005-07-20

I am not very familiar with SAS/Macro. This book show me how to
use macro language easily and I really learn a lot from this book. I recommend who does not know the macro language to buy
this book. And it contains much more than its prices.
Every SAS programmer must have one.

Don't write macros without it!.......2005-01-07

The definitive text by a recognized expert. I bought the first edition several years ago and immediately discovered how to resolve a macro problem that was stopping my progress. The book paid for itself in the first 5 minutes! Got the 2nd Edition a few weeks ago and quickly discovered ways to do two different things I didn't even know were possible. That's at least a 5X ROI so far, and I've only skimmed through a few pages so far.

Don't write code without it!
