Accounting Book.......2006-02-23

Not all of the information is updated that I thought could have been updated from the last edition.

Easy to follow and gives good examples.

Wow...What'll They Think of Next?.......2005-10-29

This book is great. Use the online resources! My professor is old school and made no mention of those resources. Had I not taken the time to figure them out and make use of them, I may not have passed the class. The narrated PowerPoint's were particularly helpful.

Best accounting book ever........2005-09-15

This book has helped me so much over the past year. Great book.

Missing part of it.......2005-09-08

There was supposed to be a CD, and a work book with this product. I can totally understand why the work book was not there but there is no excuse for the CD.

Book Description

This book concentrates on one of the most important directions for research on banking and finance for the next decade: the problem of information and risk management. Recent theoretical and empirical contributions consider asymmetric information between investors and financiers as a major determinant of financial risk. In this framwork, financial and banking innovation may be regarded as policy and individual agents' response to the problem of asymmetric information and risk management and also as a self-generated innovation process posing new challenges to policymakers in terms of informational efficiency and risk control.

Book Description

Biological chemistry is a major frontier of inorganic chemistry. Three special volumes devoted to Metal Sites in Proteins and Models address the questions: how unusual ("entatic") are metal sites in metalloproteins and metalloenzymes compared to those in small coordination complexes? and if they are special, how do polypeptide chains and co-factors control this? The chapters deal with iron, with metal centres acting as Lewis acids, metals in phosphate enzymes, with vanadium, and with the wide variety of transition metal ions which act as redox centres. They illustrate in particular how the combined armoury of genetics and structure determination at the molecular level are providing unprecedented new tools for molecular engineering.

Description:
Oxygen isotope records of the surface-dwelling foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber from ODP Site 1143 in the southern South China Sea (SCS) are presented for the last 5Ma. The G. ruber @d^1^8O of Site 1143 for the past 500ka is lighter by 0.5-1.0%% in interglacial, and by 0.1-0.5%% in glacial periods, than the Site 806B record from the Ontong Java Plateau. We infer the light glacial/interglacial G. ruber @d^1^8O at Site 1143, compared with the open western Pacific, to have been caused by stronger monsoon-induced precipitation over the SCS. While glacial/interglacial planktonic @d^1^8O values remained stable over the 3.3-2.5Ma period, the benthic Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi @d^1^8O gradually became positive, leading to an obvious slope in their @d^1^8O difference (@D@d^1^8O"b"-"p). The stable glacial/interglacial G. ruber @d^1^8O over this period is probably caused by the decrease of sea surface salinity, which counteracted the effects of global ice volume and sea surface temperature on the G. ruber @d^1^8O. We interpret that the intensification of the East Asian monsoon winds coupled with the northern hemisphere glaciation 3.3-2.5Ma ago likely brought frequent and strong precipitation over the SCS and/or caused large-scale intrusions of Borneo alongshore low-salinity waters to the southern SCS, which greatly freshened the SCS and decreased its salinity. After 2.5Ma, especially in the Quaternary period, the planktonic and benthic @d^1^8O show similar variations over glacial/interglacial cycles in responding to the waxing and waning of the northern hemisphere continental ice sheet, and their relatively stable @d^1^8O difference (@D@d^1^8O"b"-"p) indicates a period of steady fluctuations of the East Asian monsoon winds. The more positive values of @D@d^1^8O"b"-"p probably suggest stronger East Asian winter monsoon during Quaternary glacials whereas the more negative values of @D@d^1^8O"b"-"p may imply stronger East Asian summer monsoon during Quaternary interglacials.

Surprisingly Good Read.......2007-01-09

I actually bought the book as a Christmas gift for someone who loves all things Rock City. (It is a sad obsession)I sat down before I wrapped it and flipped to a random page and began reading. I could not put the book down. It was a really good story. I was not able to read the entire book, so now I have to buy a copy for myself.

Funny, touching, and all-to-true.......1998-11-20

My wife and I, along with our kids (23, with wife, 17, 8, and 6)(all boys) listened to it several times. We loved it! All of us! Warning: it is dangerous to listen to while driving as it hard to keep the car on the road during a belly laugh. Both stories are very funny, and you will fall in love with Miss Rosemary. Mr. Davis does a wonderful job telling the story. I'll bet his books are great, but I am now in the process of acquiring all of his works on audio just to hear him tell the stories. Well worth the money! Get the tape!

Ms. Capps' book includes paintings of the remaining Rock City Barns that dot the Tennessee landscape as well as interviews with owners, local stories, and maps to these landmarks that seem to disappear with saddening regularity. If dilapidated barns are your idea of art, you'll spend a lot of time pulling this book down and paging through it.

Book Description

Foreword by Gen. Tommy R. Franks, USA (Ret.)

This hard-hitting, authoritative account of U.S. Army operations during the Second Gulf War draws on official records and work carried out by the Army's Operation Iraqi Freedom Study Group. The authors cover everything from logistical operations to gunfights at platoon level to help readers understand the complexity, scale, and rigors of the war and what it was like for the solders in the field. As Gen. Tommy Franks says in the foreword, the book is far more than a standard campaign history. It not only puts the Army's story in the context of joint operations in Iraq but also analyzes the operation in admirable detail. Using hundreds of interviews of the troops and scores of detailed maps and illustrations, it provides a user-friendly guide to the Army's first major campaign in more than a decade and ten-years worth of investments in digitalization and interservice operability.

The first part of the book reviews the evolution of the Army since the First Gulf War and establishes the context in which preparation for the second occurred. A narrative of combat operations through 1 May 2003 follows with a focus at the tactical level but set in the context of theater-level operations. The book concludes with suggestions of early implications for the Army and joint forces as they shape future force structure and training. This book is published in cooperation with the Association of the United States Army.

Useful within limits.......2006-11-06

Considering the political and bureaucratic pressure the authors may have faced, it is perhaps unfair to measure this book against "civilian" histories of Operation Iraqi Freedom (which are also horribly limited at this point, thus the temptation to try On Point). Therefore, I preface my comments with the caveat that the authors deserve praise for their service and hard work and my criticisms/comments are designed to help potential readers rather than take the author's to task.

The most glaring difficulty with On Point is in the news on a daily basis. Not so much that the book does not cover the insurgency (in doesn't), as that it does not cover the transition to an insurgency. It was the "conclusion" of OIF that will interest students of the conflict. It's no surprise the authors avoided this topic, but it does make the study much less interesting. I would have thought it better to have tackled this head on and at least set the tone for what promises to be a decades long debate, but clearly for reasons of time or politics the authors avoided this.

My second comment is more personal, and perhaps wiser minds will eventually disagree, but the too frequent mention of Carl von Clausewitz in the conclusion seemed to validate all my fears about what the military did not learn from the conflict. OIF studied without the insurgency seems to offer a clean validation of the Army just as it is (OK, with a couple minor improvement here and there...). Yet, nothing could be farther from the truth. The compelling lesson of OIF wasn't that "Carl von Clausewitz would find none of this surprising." (p 413) It was that there is no clear on/off switch for war. War, insurgency, peacemaking, terrorism, rebuilding, all seem to go on simultaneously. The day may come when the Army has to once again prepare to fight a clearly defined war, but recent history suggests that this is the exception rather than the rule. Clusewitz's "friction" doesn't cover the multilayered, contingent nature of most conflicts.

Ok, so these are serious issues, but not what everyone wants to read about. Some of us are simply looking for a good war story. The authors certainly weren't given the freedom to write this, so we shouldn't scold them for it. However, if this is what you are looking for, then this isn't the ideal source. The stories are there. Heroism, amazement, technology, you name it. The "problem" with On Point, is that just when the authors start to "get to the good stuff" they switch perspective and move to a new story or event. Again, not their fault. Just something to be aware of before making the choice to read.

On Point: The United States Army in Operation Iraqi Freedom.......2006-08-23

Sensational video feeds and embedded journalist accounts shaped public perception of Operation Iraqi Freedom, the U.S.-led military campaign to topple Saddam Hussein. Accounts by embedded journalists added color but did little to illuminate broader strategy and planning. On Point, the official U.S. Army history of the campaign, is therefore a welcome addition to those accounts. It is a masterful compendium of the planning and operations that ultimately led to the U.S. capture of Baghdad. In addition to chronicling each units' drive forward, the authors add needed perspective. They contextualize the Iraq mission within the history of U.S. military campaigns: with concurrent operations in Afghanistan, the Iraq campaign marked the first time since World War II that U.S. armed forces conducted major campaigns simultaneously in different areas of operation. Not since the Korean war had a combined and joint land component directed all ground operations. The authors place special emphasis on new developments in information-based warfare. Digital linkages and new technology enabled unprecedented air-ground coordination. The authors also describe what lessons influenced military planners. They describe changes in military doctrine in the twelve years between the liberation of Kuwait and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and include summaries of lessons learned from U.S. operations in Somalia, Haiti, Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan. Urban combat preoccupied the war planners. On Point describes various seminars, discussions, and exercises to prepare the U.S. Army to fight in Baghdad. Numerous photos, maps, and charts bring the descriptions to life. The authors offer considerable detail, not only of planning--training exercises in Germany, for example--but also describe how the U.S. military managed with very little public note to ready ports, airfields, and other infrastructure in the Middle East needed for its campaign. Subsequent chapters describe the drive north from Kuwait. Various battles are diagrammed and explained. A chapter on the fall of Baghdad gives behind-the-scenes detail on "thunder runs" probing the city, the much-photographed toppling of Saddam's statue in Firdos Square, and the final fighting within the city. On Point stops its narrative with the end of major combat. There is only the briefest discussion of the transition and no discussion of the start of civilian administration and the continuing insurgency. Some fleeting allusions beg more detail. While the authors mention that "the total number of FIF [Free Iraqi Forces, Iraqis trained in Tazsar, Hungary, before the war] was small, their strategic, operational, and tactical impact was significant," but do not elaborate on how or why. It is unfortunate that air force and navy operations remain outside the purview of examination, as some discussion of these would have illustrated force integration and given a better idea of the challenges and operations of modern warfare. While Operation Iraqi Freedom is generally a "good news" story--the authors identify areas for improvement: they argue that, in terms of combat service support and logistics, the army should not emphasize efficiency over effectiveness (when lives are at stake, duplication is sometimes necessary to ensure that missions succeed). Another lesson learned is that every unit should have the ability to fight and win; no longer are support units confined to the rear, out of danger. The capture of Jessica Lynch after the ambush of her 507th Maintenance Company convoy highlighted how speed and mobility precluded rear security. While Central Command headquarters in Qatar enjoyed the latest intelligence, the authors conclude that access to tactical intelligence among commanders in the field was too limited. Brigade leaders often did not have adequate information about the enemy in their immediate vicinity. Lastly, the authors suggest that the operations highlighted difficulties in the mix of active duty and reserve compo nents. On Point provides a major source for military history buffs, strategists, and general readers. Although technical, it should be required reading for every journalist, analyst, and academic who opines on the U.S. military in Iraq.

Fine, Detailed Operational Study of OIF.......2005-09-15

To date, most of the published writing about the Second Iraq War has consisted of politcal/moral debates about the "rightness" of the war, or of first-hand accounts by soldiers and especially embedded journalists. Some of this work has been excellent--"Thunder Run" and "The March Up" come to mind-- and some have been self-serving, anti-war diatribes like "In the Company of Soldiers". "On Point" was commissioned by the Army as a history of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) through the fall of Saddam's regime in April, 2003, but despite the "official" stamp, and viewed in the context of the other books about the war, the book provides a refreshingly objective and highly informative analysis of the campaign.
The authors begin by outlining developments in US Army training, doctrine, logistics, and inter-service cooperation from the First Iraq War (Desert Storm) to Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and how these improvements made OIF (at least initially) such a success. The actual campaign description is minutely detailed, with numerous maps, charts and diagrams describing everything from unit manuever schemes and objectives, to logistics routes, even Iraqi deployments and order of battle. Army success and failures are clearly delineated, along with the authors recommendations for the future. Readers familiar with Bob Scales superb official history of Desert Storm will find the format and scope of "On Point" pleasingly famliar.
Unlike the Scales work however, unless the reader is comfortable with professional military writing, the prose of "On Point" may seem a bit intimidating. Sown thick with acronyms and abbreviations, I found the writing to be somewhat dry, and the battle descriptions and analysis almost forensic. The authors did thoughtfully include a complete glossary of military terms and acronyms, as well as the most complete US order of battle for OIF yet published.
Overall, the quality of this otherwise solid and informative work is diminished slightly by substandard priniting quality from the publisher, Naval Institue Press, whose standards are normally quite a bit higher. Hopefully, later editions of the book will correct this flaw.
While "On Point" is clearly intended for a professional miliary audience, the lay-reader willing to make the effort will find a clearer understanding of modern military operations and the institutional "lesson learning" process that make he US Army one of the premier fighting forces in the world.

Great information, but poor quality of printing.......2005-08-20

I've been waiting for a print version of this book to be available for some time, since the online version ( ... ) is hard to collect and read on the go. I was therefore thrilled to see the Naval Institute pick up the title and publish it.

While I am happy with the fact that I now have this report in one, bound copy, the printing of this leaves something to be desired. The entire book is black and white, and not a clear copy as it is, rendering many of the photos difficult to see or interpret. Grey boxes appear as they would on a poor copy machine.

The text is, for the most part, clear, and the story of course is as interesting as ever, but if you expect a high-quality reproduction of the online report, you likely will be disappointed.

Book Description

In the nineteenth century many Canadians took pride in their country's policy of liberal treatment of Indians. In this thorough reinvestigation of Canadian legal history, Sidney L. Harring sets the record straight, showing how Canada has consistently denied Aboriginal peoples even the most basic civil rights.

Drawing on scores of nineteenth-century legal cases, Harring reveals that colonial and early Canadian judges were largely ignorant of British policy concerning Indians and their lands. He also provides an account of the remarkable tenacity of First Nations in continuing their own legal traditions despite obstruction by the settler society that came to dominate them.

Book Description

Featuring 96 sharp, new images obtained with state-of-the-art technology, the Second Edition of this popular pocket atlas is a quick, handy guide to interpreting cranial magnetic resonance images. It shows readers how to recognize normal anatomic structures on MRI scans...and distinguish these structures from artifacts. Each page presents a high-resolution image, with anatomic landmarks clearly labeled. Directly above the image are a key to the labels and a thumbnail illustration that orients the reader to the location and plane of view (sagittal, axial, or coronal). This format--sharp images, orienting thumbnails, and clear keys--enables readers to identify features with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

excellent.......2003-05-20

I agree with all of the three previous reviewers in both praise and critique, which force me to purchase this book. It absolutely worth five stars.
I enjoyed reading and learning from this pocket atlas. Extremely good quality pictures. I whished that I knew about when I started my Neurology residency, so I would always keep it in my bag, as I am doing now.
It is a fast read, very helpful. I highly recommend it.

Relatively Good.......2003-03-05

This little book is a compilation of normal MRI images of the human brain. It contains 61 images, each on one page, with a list of labelled structures. The images include axial views (14 images), coronal views (21 images) and sagittal views, which, with only 6 images, is the weakest section. There are also two short sections on the sella turcica (mostly coronal views, with one close up sagittal) and magnetic resonance angiography of the major cerebral vessels.

Students and residents beginning to interpret neuroimaging are often in need of a basic reference that shows gross neuroradiological anatomy. This book attempts to fill that need. On the whole it does: the images are clear, the important structures for the most part are labelled, and orientative 'locator' diagrams for each image are provided. The book can however be improved in the following ways:

1. The author, an authority of brain and spine MRI, can begin the book with an introductory chapter that explains the basics of MRI images and how they are formed. What are T1 and T2 images? What structures produce high signals and what low? What do air, blood, bone and fat look like? For the beginning medical student, this is useful information.

2. For each image, a summary of what you should be looking for will be most helpful. Eg. What should the size of the normal 3rd ventricle be? If for each page, he gave in bullet form what you should be looking for, the value of the book would be immeasurably increased.

3. More detailed labelling would be a plus.

Pocket Atlas of Cranial MRI.......2002-12-31

Excellent Reference Book for your library for anyone interested in Cranial MRI. Very advanced for the everyday reader however it contains excellent pictures and brief text and I highly recommend.

Good atlas for radiologists and clinicians alike.......2002-02-20

...This text offers many excellent images which nicely illustrate the important anatomical structures seen on MR. A definitive text on neuroimaging, it is obviously not, but it is a very affordable text with great images - highly recommended!
