Book Description

If you think it’s getting harder to both make a living and make a life, economist and former secretary of labor Robert Reich agrees with you. Americans may be earning more than ever before, but we’re paying a steep price: we’re working longer, seeing our families less, and our communities are fragmenting.

With the clarity and insight that are his hallmarks, Reich delineates what success has come to mean in our time. He demonstrates that although we have more choices as consumers, and investors, the choices themselves are undermining the rest of our lives. It is getting harder for people to be confident of what they will be earning next year, or even next month. At the same time, our society is splitting into socially stratified enclaves--the wealthier walled off and gated, the poorer isolated and ignored. Although the trends he discusses are powerful, they are not irreversible, and Reich makes provocative suggestions for how we might create a more balanced society and more satisfying lives. Some of his ideas may surprise you; all should spark a healthy–and essential–national debate.

What A Joke.......2006-12-07

Reich and the globalization gang are a joke. While it is true that the trinkets from China are dirt cheap, the things Americans spend most of their money on like housing, health care, education, and energy have sky rocketed because they are produced domestically in largely oligarchic markets. Real per capita GDP has almost doubled in the past 30 years while real hourly median wages have slightly declined. Bravo to Reich for making his owners at Citibank filthy richer while raking Americans over the coals and convincing them he's doing them a favor.

Great observatons overall, but marred by very bad solutions.......2005-11-03

I have to give Reich a lot of credit. Aside from the last chapter, he provided a very balanced look at the issues. His suggestions about cause and effect seemed reasonable and well thought out.

For anyone working in the corporate, white collar world, it was easy to see that the conditions he describe make a lot of sense and apply to most of middle class America for sure - likely extending across the economic spectrum. Everyone is running to keep up. The pressure keeps intensifying. Technology gives us ever more choices, continuing to crank up the competitive pressure. The whole process continues to feed on itself and accelerate -- and there is no end in sight. The result is an ecomomic treadmill that is ever-harder to keep up with. As we pursue this treadmill, how many of us bother (or can afford) to take a hard look at what this treadmill means to our lives, and how we should attempt to make trade-offs to cope with it?

So as Reich headed into the final chapter, I expected some balanced, imaginative ideas/solutions, if he felt some should be offered. I was really disappointed. Virtually ALL his solutions were straight from the far left of the political spectrum, comprising (more) massive wealth resdistribution programs, with no real evidence that it will make any meaningful long term difference in the issues he proposes to deal with. I expcted that some (perhaps even half) of these would contain elements of his left wing political leanings, but this was really just blatant. The whole sense of balance, perspective, and careful thought put into the whole book up to this point were just gone.

The most glaring example of this was the proposal to just GIVE sixty thousand bucks to everyone in America as they turn 18, with no strings attached. The reasoning was to let young people start businesses, etc. and have a "fair" chance to be productive. Fabulous intent. However, in the real world most 18 year olds (by far) have far more hormones than reasoned judgement borne of meaningful experience, or a real clue of who they really are and what they want. Sadly, far too much of this well intended money would be blown on pleasure items and do nothing more than add to the debt and lack of inventive issues we already face (Reich wants to pay for this with a new "wealth tax" - simply confiscate some percentage of wealthy folks' total net worth. Karl Marx would love it).

If this is the best that Mr. Reich's insights can offer as far as solutions, it would be far better if he just explained the state of our economic condition and left the recommendations to others.

OK start, great middle, wimpy ending.......2005-04-23

I really enjoyed this book and learned a lot from it, but really this book is all problem statement and very little problem solution. Still, the problem statement is fascinating and throws a lot of light on the real reasons behind much of what I have perceived to be the changes in the working world of the past twenty-or-so years in the USA.
I think I can put the central thesis of the book into a more abstract formulation: our society has done too good a job at reducing friction! Every engineer and designer tries to minimize friction; some do a better job than others, but friction is almost never reduced to a negligible amount. This, if you think about it, is a Good Thing; without any friction at all, no molecule would be left standing on another molecule! It is possible to imagine life in an almost-friction-free world, but that life would be very different from what we experience in our world. Well, the communications explosion of the past couple of decades has reduced the friction of transactions to the point where we are starting to hurt -- where the habits, customs and laws of transactions (commercial and social) have been speeded up and cost-reduced to induce a difference of quality, not just a difference in quantity. We haven't even begun to realize what has happened, let alone be able to come up with ways to deal with it. This book is an excellent introduction to the problem.

REICH: Book about Work from someone with NO REAL Job.......2005-04-12

THE TRUTH: THOSE CANNOT DO WILL TEACH.

The old age wisdom says we should only preach about those things we know, have experience. Here we have an author, the Former U.S. Secretary of Labor writing about work. Has Robert Reich ever had a Real, TRUE job.

He has spent his whole life in the "Ivory Tower" not the real world where individuals, companies have to provide products and services to the world.

Look at Bill Klinton, what was his first job after law school, a professor at the University of Arkansas.

What was Hilary RodHAM Clinton's first job, a law professor? After long hours as U.S. Secretary of Labor, what job did he run to: another phony, fake job as Economics professor at Brandeis University.

How did these clowns think that to BS in front if 18, 19 years olds is real job. Look at what Al "2000 Loser" Gore do after the 2000 election loss. He got a teaching job at Tennessee State and Columbia Journalism School.

Does the world really another academic to write another useless book.

Much of the content of the book is Not new. First, there was agriculture. The raising of plants-animals has been the pre-occupation of humans for 8,000 years. With the Industrial Revolution of the 17th, 18th century in England and then Europe, industry has replaced farming.

With the invention of the Transistor, microprocessor, PC and the worldwide, universal Internet, the world is now moving to a digital-service economy. The coming One (1) Billion transistor CPU will truly usher in a new era in the history of humans.

Oil, Natural Resources still counts in the modern world. But Brain-Power, Brain-Products is really what matters in the 21st. century.

To survive as individuals, groups or nations, we need to be producers before we can be consumers. Producers-consumers, consumers-producers is what the global markets is all about.

Another useless book from an academic who has never had a real job is NOT what the new economy is all about.

Interesting Commentary On Our Changing Workplace.......2003-08-28

Although the title is overly ambitious, The Future of Success is an interesting commentary on our changing workplace. The author, Robert Reich, a Brandeis University professor, was the Secretary of Labor during President Clinton's first term. Consumed by work and neglecting his family, Reich decided that the toll was too great and left his cabinet position to return to academia and write this book.

Reich's work is important because he explains the drivers of our new economy with its great consumer deals, endless workweeks and vanishing job security. In this new world, rewards are given for results, not seniority within the company. We can conclude therefore, that since teams are typically formed to achieve specific results, they will continue to be an important organizational structure in the new economy. Increased competition is driving most businesses to focus on results. This philosophy favors a results-based organization structure in which teams are the basic building block.

Although the reader expects Reich to end this book with stunning insight on balancing the vast benefits of the new economy with its requirement of personal sacrifice, the author provides no specific recommendations. Instead, the disappointing final chapter provides some vague recommendations for increased dialogue and improved public policy. Nevertheless, the book's compelling content makes up for its tepid epilogue.

Reich's background gives him unique qualifications to describe the driving factors behind the new workplace. I recommend that you put this on your list.

Book Description

Stochastic Volatility in Financial Markets presents advanced topics in financial econometrics and theoretical finance, and is divided into three main parts. The first part aims at documenting an empirical regularity of financial price changes: the occurrence of sudden and persistent changes of financial markets volatility. This phenomenon, technically termed `stochastic volatility', or `conditional heteroskedasticity', has been well known for at least 20 years; in this part, further, useful theoretical properties of conditionally heteroskedastic models are uncovered. The second part goes beyond the statistical aspects of stochastic volatility models: it constructs and uses new fully articulated, theoretically-sounded financial asset pricing models that allow for the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity. The third part shows how the inclusion of the statistical aspects of stochastic volatility in a rigorous economic scheme can be faced from an empirical standpoint.

Customer Reviews:

Compact And a little profound.......2001-06-09

Just as the title, it is a compact book and not so easy to read. It is a technic book for us to understand how to measure the volitility in the financial market.It takes me a lot of time to read this one.I think it would be better for people to know a little stochastic calculus at first and then try to read it.... It is a good book I think and suits for the one who wants to know the topic more deeply.

Book Description

The 1984 edition of this book has been updated to follow Don and Phil's career over the past 15 years since the Reunion.

The author has undertaken extensive interviews with both the brothers for this update, giving an in-depth insight into their differing personalities and outlook on life and music.

The opportunity has been taken to redesign the book, and it includes an updated discography that covers both their new recordings and the significant compilations which have been released, drawing on their rich catalogue of recorded music.

There will be approximately 80 photographs, many of them new to this edition.

As Roger White says in his preface to the book: 'The Everly Brothers were, and are, unique. This book is intended to show, through a review of their lives and careers, why this is so.'

Book Description

This book presents a critical portrait of the British police through a detailed ethnography of their work at football matches. Megan O'Neill not only sheds light on a topic of intense media interest, football hooliganism, but also presents the police in a totally fresh perspective. By using the work of Erving Goffman, she demonstrates how the police are a far from unified force. Their informal interaction "teams" divide them operationally and socially.

Book Description

Television: What's On, Who's Watching, and What It Means presents a comprehensive examination of the role of television in one's life. The emphasis is on data collected over the past two decades pointing to an increasing and in some instances a surprising influence of the medium. Television is not only watched but its messages are attended to and well understood. There is no shame in spending hours in front of the set, in fact, people over-estimate the time they spend viewing. Television advertising no longer persuades--it sells by creating a burst of emotional liking for the commercial. The emphases of television news determine not only what voters think about but also the presidential candidate they expect to support on election day. Children and teenagers who watch a great deal of television perform poorly on standardized achievement tests, and among the reasons are the usurpation of time spent learning to read and the discouragement of book reading. Television violence frightens some children and excites others, but its foremost effect is to increase aggressive behavior that sometimes spills over into seriously harmful antisocial behavior.

Key Features
* Incorporates social psychology, political science, sociology, child development, and the growing field of communications
* Presents tables and graphs clarifying theories and linking sets of data
* Paints concise portraits of the role of television in entertainment, politics, and child-rearing
* Contains background for dozens of lectures and articles
* Contains a comprehensive bibliography of more than 1000 citations, many recent

Word Perfect 10.......2005-08-18

I have a great deal of experience with Microsoft Word so I was trying to avoid the "Idiots Guide" to Word Perfect 10. This book does have some useful information, but much space is used explain obvious facts to the novice. This is a good book if you don't have any word processing experience - not what I had hoped.

Essential WordPerfect Helper.......2003-07-08

This is the best book!! I'm probably an intermediate user with some advanced knowledge of Word Perfect, yet I have found new things in this book that I did not know and probably would not have found on my own. Each subject is written in a clear, organized, steps 1, 2, 3, manner that anyone should be able to follow; but there are also Troubleshooting sections at the end of the chapters and (best of all) tips which will give you a deeper knowledge of the subject.

I have two copies of the book, one I keep at the office and one I keep at home.

Absolutely Usless for the novice.......2003-05-04

As a user of Word Perfect for many years, It was very easy to format lables, etc. You just clicked on format, selected what you wanted and then selected the type of lable, card or whatever. Now there are no such selections and the instructions are not clear at all. Even the "Quick Source" card is no help. This book is definately not for the novice nor the intermediate computer operator. I think the program and the book are very much lacking in the ability to help the home user.

One minor complaint.......2002-10-01

The book was excellent. I am a left brain type who likes to read through each bit and I found the explanation was simple but very effective. The hundreds of tips alone made it worth the money. So the one complaint .... ?
I am a Maths teacher and use the Equation Editor as much as any other feature - it gets ONE mention in the 756 pages and that is just to refer to the fact that there is an editing mode called "Equation Editor".
OK maybe Laura and Read don't have much need for writing equations but they might have found someone who does. Actually I have been using the Equation Editor for years and thought I knew everything there was to know but version 10 has some differences and I had hoped the book would help point them out. I guess I'll have to find out the hard way, again.

A must-have for anyone using WordPerfect.......2002-05-21

Another excellent entry in Acklen and Gilgen's series for WordPerfect, suberb for learning WordPerfect or as a reference on using its many features. Even though I'm a long-time WordPerfect user, I find the book invaluable. It's well-organized and clearly written with a touch of fun. I particularly appreciate that the authors' go beyond the usual click-here, check-that approach of most manuals and built-in help to explain how to get real work done in the real world. Highly recommended.

Book Description

This Pulitzer Prize–winning history of World War II chronicles the dramatic rise and fall of the Japanese empire, from the invasion of Manchuria and China to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Told from the Japanese perspective, The Rising Sun is, in the author’s words, “a factual saga of people caught up in the flood of the most overwhelming war of mankind, told as it happened—muddled, ennobling, disgraceful, frustrating, full of paradox.”

In weaving together the historical facts and human drama leading up to and culminating in the war in the Pacific, Toland crafts a riveting and unbiased narrative history. In his Foreword, Toland says that if we are to draw any conclusion from The Rising Sun, it is “that there are no simple lessons in history, that it is human nature that repeats itself, not history.”

Customer Reviews:

Excellent.......2007-08-10

Many people have given excellent reviews, so I will not repeat myself here. It's not a book written from a victor's perspective, thus some might have found that apologetic. Though I think the book was softer in Japanese side, I don't think it's seriously biased.

Many books about second world war were written with great emotions, hatred ... the rape of Nanking just popped up in head. So, I think for someone who just want to learn about the history, it's a rather good book without making you emotionally drained to learn the details of the atrocities of war.

I think super-patriotic American may find the book offensive. But, I will say it's recommended reading for WWII.

Excellent addition to the Modern Library War section.......2007-07-19

John Tolland's book is an excellent review of Japanese history in the World War II period of 1936-1945. it is a wonderful addition to the modern war library and conveys not only a great perspective on Japan but world politics at the time. It is very detailed on the significance of battles and key details. This is not a blow by blow summary of the war but a big picture look at how the pacific unfolded and the Japanese empire fell apart. The deep scar this left on the Japanese nation is apparent and the alien nature of Japanese culture to Americans is really well displayed. If you are just starting out on learning about Japan and World War II this really is the best book to start with.

a compelling narrative.......2007-03-15

This is a stupendous achievement: a detailed narrative of the Pacific War encompassing the perspectives of both sides that is a model of descriptive clarity and evenhandness. Some readers, even four decades after its publication, will be uncomfortable with the considerable use of original material from the Japanese side of events seemingly "uncontestable" in the popular mind in the U.S., Britain or Australia. Toland's journalistic effort, including interviewing scores of key players in Japan, is however what lends the book its greatest value - not because the Japanese perspective should prevail, but because it must be heard. Of course contractions and unexplained aspects of the war remain, and new research has superceded some of its material, but few books come close to conveying the ebb and flow of events that took Japan to war and defeat as convincingly as this one. It is, however, a work of journalism that extensively "recreates" conversations, as a television documentary would, and adopts a certitude about motives and actions that goes beyond the necessary caution of history. Also how much more valuable it would be as a reference work if it had a proper and full apparatus of citations.

Frustratingly apologetic! .......2006-12-25

I used to have high respect for Toland for being an author of various books on World war II but this book give me a second thought about his objectivity as a writer.Quoting from almost exclusively Japanese sources,he seems to neglect the fact that even today after more than sixty years,the japanese,notably their alledgedly democratic and peace loving leaders, remain stubbornly refused to acknowledged that they committed anything wrong in invading their asian neighbors,massacres of their inhabitants,stealing and ransacking their properties,raping their women and other atrocities.Toland's apologetic attitude toward the Japs is alarming aside from being disgusting.However his attempts to present history from the point of view of a criminal is something quite new but I found it worth reading, just to learn another lesson of man inhumanity to mankind.

Good History.......2006-08-15

The book is good history, expecially for the events and negotions leading up to actual war between America and Japan. The history of the actual fighting is good, but is only one of several histories that are available, of which each is edited according to various viewpoints and biases.
