Great School Book! Is that an oxymoron?.......2007-09-11

For a required text at school, I actually enjoy this book so far. It has a lot of good marketing views and planning techniques for web/media designers. It does, however, use a lot of programs, but because I'm so familiar with all of the programs, I've gotten a good overall idea for the "real world" of media design.

Shipment took little longer then expected, I usually receive my material with in 5 days, but it took 8 days. The book is new, the way they claim. This is great.

Book Description

Rampant inflation is a major economic problem in many of the less developed countries; two out of three attempts to stabilize these economies fail. Inflation Stabilization provides a valuable description and a critical analysis of the disinflation programs introduced in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Israel in 1985-86, and discusses the possibility of such a program in Mexico. It documents the initial steps in stabilization as well as the reasons for failure.

As architects of the programs, several of the authors are in key positions to assess which aspects were critical in getting the programs accepted and where to look for difficulties and failures.

In Israel, inflation was halted without recession. The challenge to policy makers today is in shifting from stabilization to the revival of sustained growth. This experience is described fully by Michael Bruno and Sylvia Piterman, who examine the critical issue of exchange rates, and by Alex Cukierman, who uses modeling to analyze the interaction of money, wages, prices, and activity under rational expectations that take the government's policy objectives into account.

Endemic inflation and a sudden increase in external debt burden Argentina's economy, raising the wider issues of high inflation economies and stabilization that are discussed in the chapter by José Luis Machinea and that by Guido Di Tella and Alfredo Canavese.

Eduardo Modiano and Mario Simonsen take up issues of wages in Brazil, particularly the problem of finding an equitable way to deal with a wage freeze; Simonsen develops an ambitious game theoretic rationalization of incomes policy as a coordinating device for imperfectly competitive economies.

Bolivia did reach hyperinflation (price increases of more than 50 percent each month) before stabilizing. Juan Antonio Morales shows how stabilizing the exchange rate, in an economy where all pricing was already geared to the dollar, achieved stabilization without a wage or price freeze. And Francisco Gil Diaz asks whether an incomes-policy based program could work to control ever increasing inflation in Mexico.

Michael Bruno is Governor of the Bank of Israel; Guido Di Tella is a Fellow of St. Anthony's College, a Professor at the Di Tella Institute in Buenos Aires, and a Member of Parliament in Argentina; Stanley Fischer is Vice President of Development Economics and Chief Economist at the World Bank. Rudiger Dornbusch is Ford International Professor of Economics at MIT.

Book Description

Here is the most up-to-date and comprehensive treatise available on the internationally important topic of resistance of pests to pesticides. It offers both practical and theoretical methods for combating resistance of target species to herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides. Among the topics covered in its 32 chapters are strategies to delay resistance; structural and biochemical characterization of resistance species; genetic modification of species to alter resistance characteristics; and computer models for managing resistance. This volume is novel in both the breadth of its coverage and in its focus on the chemical community.

Book Description

A steady growth in enrollments in developmental biology courses has prompted WCB/McGraw-Hill to consider how to provide a laboratory manual that addresses the concerns of an ever-growing number of educators and students. Many qualities distinguish this manual from others on the market. Patterns and Experiments in Developmental Biology integrates a descriptive study of developmental patterns with experimental analysis of developmental processes.

Book Description

This book presents a comprehensive and self-contained exposition of the mathematical theory of impulsive light-like signals in general relativity. Applications are provided in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and alternative theories of gravity deduced from string theory. Cataclysmic astrophysical events give rise to impulsive light-like signals which can generally be decomposed into a thin shell of null matter and an impulsive gravitational wave. Several examples are considered in black hole physics, wave collisions and light-like boosts of compact gravitating sources.

Graduate students and researchers in relativistic astrophysics, cosmology and string theory will find this book very useful.

interesting book.......2007-02-22

In this day and age, very appropriate, but it was a good story that still has me scared a few years later.

Wonderfully Witty Read.......2006-08-19

I love this book, it's one of the first chick lits I've read years ago and I would read it again. Tiffany is someone who's clever, witty and definitely a person I would want to be friends with. Definitely pick the book up if you're still in your thirties and love chick lit.

Absolutely dreadful; gives chick lit a bad name.......2005-08-30

I made the mistake of picking this up because it was recommended to those who love the Shopaholic series. Let me be clear, Tiffany Trott is in no way on par with the loveable and hilarious Shopaholic. All British gals are not created equal. Tiffany's narrative was extremely tedious and in no way entertaining. She's whiny and obsessed with finding a long-term boyfriend. The flirting in the book was lame, overdone, and none of the characters managed to endear themselves to me. I'm sorry I wasted my time on this book.

Exhausting.......2005-07-11

By the end of this book, I was thoroughly exhausted with Tiffany Trott. It looked like a fun read, but it took too much effort for it to actually be called "fun." It was more like work reading about the extreme minutae of Tiffany's dating life and quest for Mr. Right, or Mr. All Right. I'm not even sure she was such a great catch herself - she wasn't funny, or very sweet, or endearing in any way. If I were Tiffany, I'd be exhausted with myself. It was just too many darn pages to sift through to find out that Tiffany is happier being single.

Heh, Heh!.......2005-04-03

Tiffany is in her late 30's and looking for a husband. Read all about the chaps she meets, and the blokes she dates.
This books will keep you laughing.

Book Description

“It’s not easy to stay alive with a $1,000 bounty on your head.”

In 1967, a bullet cost thirteen cents, and no one gave Uncle Sam a bigger bang for his buck than the 5th Marine Regiment Sniper Platoon. So feared were these lethal marksmen that the Viet Cong offered huge rewards for killing them. Now noted Vietnam author John J. Culbertson, a former 5th Marine sniper himself, presents the riveting true stories of young Americans who fought with bolt rifles and bounties on their heads during the fiercest combat of the war, from 1967 through the desperate Tet battle for Hue in early ’68.

In spotter/shooter pairs, sniper teams accompanied battle-hardened Marine rifle companies like the 2/5 on patrols and combat missions. Whether fighting their way out of a Viet Cong “kill zone” or battling superior numbers of NVA crack troops, the sniper teams were at the cutting edge in the art of jungle warfare, showing the patience, stealth, combat marksmanship, and raw courage that made the unit the most decorated regimental sniper platoon in the Vietnam War. Harrowing and unforgettable, these accounts pay tribute to the heroes who made the greatest sacrifice of all–and leave no doubt that among 5th Marine snipers uncommon valor was truly a common virtue.

Customer Reviews:

Not what I was hoping for..........2007-04-20

I purchased this book hoping to get a detailed look at the legendary Marine snipers in Vietnam, and how they fought. And while Culbertson does well to honor the comrades he fought with, I found this book more of a recruiting pitch for the Corps, rather than a historical account. Even more annoying was Culbertson's attempts to revise military history... telling us how the Marine's won WWI for the French, or how Hanoi could have fallen if we'd just sent in an airborne division and a Marine Assault Force.
When the author manages to stick to the subject, we get to see Culbertson's ample knowledge of firearms, sniper tactics and the conditions these men fought in. But unfortunately for readers, we have to wade through pages of jingoistic and Christo-righteous tangents to find it.

John Misses the Bullseye.......2006-11-17

This book falls far short of it's target. While Culbertson was an in-country player and is writing as part of this elite group, his style is very melodramatic and jingolistic. I've had to roll my eyes John's many attempts to paint the 5th Marine Snipers as yah yah heroistic types and the bad guys as the incarnate of evil.

He gives some good info on rifles and ammo but continues to repeat this info throughout the book and I guess he needs to fill white space with this unnecessary additional information.

The author comes across as a narrow-minded, stuck in the mud, stereo-typing jarhead. He describes the Vietnamese as sneaky blah blah blah dirty Communists who were more likely trying to rid their country of the Americans as they had with the French, Japanese and Chinese. I find it distasteful to describe the 5th Marine Snipers as killers/murders who fought for the exitement of the hunt. If a human life and the sacrifice these people gave for their country is worth only 13 Cents, then the value of this book is far less. There are better books about those who fought but this is not one of them.

Perpetuates silly stereotypes and firearms myths.......2006-11-13

I am not an authority on Vietnam, but I am an avid hunter and competitive rifle shooter. Many of the details in this text are wildly inaccurate and more fitting for a hollywood b-movie than a book that claims to be historical. Just one example is the reference to Vietnamese soldiers being lifted off their feet and thrown backwards through the air by .308 or .30-06 rounds. This claim and many others like it are laughable to anyone who knows anything about firearms. Mr. Culbertson needs to stop watching re-runs of "The A-team" and research his facts, or else drop the pretense that he is writing history.

not very intruiging.......2006-10-20

I had a hard time finishing this book. It was very repetitive. Just simply two peoples accounts of the same incidents. It was only so so. The only thing I found to be of interest, was the mention of the Lake City Army Ammo plant here in Missouri.

Mr. Culbertson, please check facts.......2006-05-29
