Money matters.......2007-10-01

Excellent book, easy to read, understand and follow. I look forward to putting into action what I have read.

Biased and not always correct.......2007-02-28

Orman writes with an obvious bias. Though I agree with much of the obvious; it serves to cloud the not entirely correct. I would suggest Arthur Levitt's, Take on the Street or other such, more knowledgeably written books.

Boot camp for the foolish.......2007-01-31

I know I'm smart and that's why it bothers me so much that my finances are always shipwrecked. So knowing that the problem couldn't possibly be me I bought just about every self help book on the market to find out the secret to abundance that was obviously avoiding me.
Then along came Suze with her baseball bat approach, no nonsence just plain sence, and somehow she hit a home run. It was me after all, not the world, not something I didn't know, just plain stupid lack of dicipline.
This is by far the best financial advice I have received from any person or book. I bought the audio CD so instead of listening to sports radio I listened to this on my commute. The Pat's lost, I think thanks to this I might finally win.

Thanks Suze

For those wanting -and not having- financial freedom.......2006-08-18

Orman presents a holistic way of creating and managing wealth.

I think her no-nonses approach is very valuable. For those who are happy about their financial situation and have a comfortable investment nest, this book would probably reitarate the lessons already learnt.

For those who want to take action and ownership and want to enjoy life, and be responsible, this is a great book. I've bought several for clients and friends.

It is fantastic for people who want to get out of financial difficulties and don't want to blame it on the system. Also for those who know that success takes effort and does not come instantly.

Many of her ideas will help making smarter choices or even think about things that we did not think before.

I also think it is biased for the American Market, since taxes, legalities and cultures differ.

Great as a source of quotes too. Not for those who want to feel sorry, want a quick fix, or want to make tons of money. it is a more profound book.

This should be taught in school.......2006-03-11

Suze explains finances in an easy and enjoyable way. She gives vivid examples to help you remember the lessons she is teaching. Growing up, no one in my family talked about handling their finances because none of them understood the topic. I bought several additional copies of this book-on-CD to help my family become more educated about money and so they were not so dependent on others. I hope that this audio book will spark their interest and encourage them to pick up other books.

Book Description

There are many strange phenomena in the world of business and finance. We discover many curious things, comic and contentious that are not all explained by conventional finance or economic theory rather they follow the rules of antilogic.

Financial practitioners have been attempting to quantify, monitor and control financial
risk and yet, in spite of modern quantitative analysis and highly sophisticated modelling techniques they are no more successful in this than in the past - the world of finance and business just doesn't add up.

This highly controversial and thought provoking book, written in a light and humorous style will not only entertain but also challenge readers to question conventional wisdom.

This book provides a clear look at the antilogic of the business world and financial markets. It describes the background conditions that encourage the creation of antilogic and demonstrates how business personalities generate the antilogic concept.

Shows the antilogic created by accountants and looks at the role of cash and makes the
discovery that much of antilogic stems from accepting as money, something different
which is defined in the book as Vapourcash and Anticash

Lessons from a CFO..........2002-04-15

As a microeconomist might take a theory of rational expectations and attempt to explain firm behaviour, McComish takes some basic elements of human nature and attempts to explain why firm behaviour might not be so rational after all.

Filled with amusing anecdotes and tales from the front line the book touches on an array of economic, political and psychological disciplines in a lighthearted way that encourages the reader to occasionally wear the hat of a cynic and question the norm.

Any manager who has spent time battling the inner workings of a large organisation, rationalising decisions post the event, arguing over cost allocations, arbitraging performance measurement mechanisms and so fourth will find the book both amusing and ringing frightfully true.

Ignore the Sub-Title.......2001-12-12

It was the sub-title and a review I read (not on Amazon) that intrigued me to want to read this book. The book did not deliver on my expectations. I still walked away at the end saying, "So what?" It didn't seem that any particular premise had either been introduced or supported in a way that would make it 'applicable' -- so that you would have dropped the book several times during reading to run off and try a concept or two.

The most disappointing was the obvious 'filter' the author makes the reader look through because of his financial background as a CFO. And (someone please correct me on this if you can...I'm open for debate) I was most bothered by a premise that the entire book rested on. Where the concept of the efficiency of free markets was aligned to financial markets, including the stock market! I don't recall that association ever being a valid one when I was in business school.

Book Description

High-efficiency micropropagation, with relatively low labour costs, has been demonstrated in this unique book detailing liquid media systems for plant tissue culture. World authorities (e.g. von Arnold, Curtis, Takayama, Ziv) contribute seminal papers together with papers from researchers across Europe that are members of the EU COST Action 843 "Advanced micropropagation systems". First-hand practical applications are detailed for crops – including ornamentals and trees – using a wide range of techniques, from thin-film temporary immersion systems to more traditional aerated bioreactors with many types of explant – shoots to somatic embryos. The accounts are realistic, balanced and provide a contemporary account of this important aspect of mass propagation.

This book is essential reading for all those in commercial micropropagation labs, as well as researchers worldwide who are keen to improve propagation techniques and lower economic costs of production. Undergraduate and postgraduate students in the applied plant sciences and horticulture will find the book an enlightened treatise.

Book Description

This wall chart is the first concise tabular presentation of the most significant microfossils. The chart gives a visual overview of all the principal microfossil genera. It is especially intended for (micro)palaeontologists, either professionals or students, who frequently wish to search for data on the most important microfossil taxa, or need to have a quick reference for identification of their forms. Photographs of more than 430 microfossils are displayed in microfossil groups. The organic-walled, phosphatic, calcareous and siliceous microfossils are distinguished by different light-coloured backgrounds. The time ranges are shown in horizontal coloured bars. Numbers beside each picture correspond to a legend, the statigraphical range shown below each group, and the Index. If desired, each group can be cut out or the chart can be split horizontally. Like the other Elsevier wall charts the Microfossil Wall Chart is a superb visual reference. It will be of special interest to palaeontologists.

Book Description

A major barrier to the introduction of ferroelectric devices into mass markets remains their limited reliability due to fatigue. The underlying physical and chemical mechanisms of this material fatigue phenomenon are extremely complex, and the relevant influences range from single-point defects to macroscopic boundary conditions. This book summarizes the different aspects of fatigue in ferroelectrics. It is primarily concerned with bulk material effects. Mechanical, electrical, and physico-chemical processes are described; reference data are given for different loading regimes and boundary conditions; and various fatigue models are compared. The monograph also demonstrates how the results of acoustic emission and of microscopy studies reveal the microscopic origins of fatigue in ferroelectric devices.

I LOVE THIS BOOK--HILARIOUS.......2007-10-04

this is a must read, her second book is even funnier! I highly recommend it!

The Book That Began It All.......2007-10-02

I have a new favorite author. I read this book a few months ago and nearly hyperventilated from laughing so much. Heaven and Brady are like people I know. Brady is SO much like some of the guys I know, it's scary. I told all of my friends to read it and every single one loved it. Now I just finished reading her new book Forget About It and I can say that I was scared since I loved this book so much, I was worried she couldn't live up to my expectations but she lived up to every expectation and then some. Stupid and Contagious is like the break-out first book full of genius one-liners and hysterical situations with characters that you root for and love. Forget About It is the next step. If you don't have it get it! And get this. Get both. Caprice Crane rocks! She should be much better known.

Not stupid, but definitely contagious!.......2007-09-30

This book was a pleasant surprise, and one I quite enjoyed. I picked up Caprice Crane's newest book and the title for this one caught my eye so I added it to my basket. The relationship between Heaven and Brady is enjoyable, and what twenty something can't help but relate to Heaven's down on your luck life? A fun and light hearted read!

Brilliant and Hilarious.......2007-09-24

This is hands-down the funniest book I have ever read. As a guy, I wasn't sure how I'd relate since a woman recommended it to me but I found myself totally relating to Brady - the main male protagonist - in ways I couldn't believe. I've since recommended it to a couple buddies of mine who all agreed and we now have quotes from the book that we banter back and forth. I highly recommend this book to anyone with a sense of humor, a grasp of pop culture or a pulse. It rocked.

Love It!.......2007-09-17

She has such a rare attitude about her writing. I love her style. Looking frward to future books.

Book Description

Alexander the Great accomplished more than any ordinary human could even hope to dream, yet at the end of his life, his empire, his army, and even his own life were unraveling. While the world knows well how the Macedonian king conquered the Persian Empire, few people know the full story of his decline and fall as he sought to bring the most remote areas of the Persian empire under his control.

Alexander was a complicated mix of ruthless tyrant and incurable romantic. This schizophrenic interplay of conflicting psychic forces characterized his rise to power and was largely responsible for his downfall. In the last seven years of his life, Alexander the Great grew increasingly unpredictable, sporadically violent, megalomaniacal, and suspicious of friends as well as enemies. In the end Alexander the Great was not defeated by any external enemy but by himself. John Prevas brings this riveting story of the fall of Alexander to life with a compelling narrative informed by his personal retracing of much of the route trod by Alexander through what is now Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Customer Reviews:

awfully biased.......2007-06-01

The author seems to have a strong agenda-- he harps on every failure of Alexander, invents a few more, and skips entirely over anything that could be seen as a victory or positive step. I'm no expert, but some of his information even seems pretty flawed; for example, if you flip over to the glossary section and look up Hephaestion, the entry reads, "Alexander's close friend and lover. Died of gluttony and alcoholism 324 b.c." This is the only mention of this I've ever heard, and unless you're morbidly obese, it's pretty hard to die of gluttony. In the text, the author doesn't give any evidence for his supposed gluttony or supposed alcoholism-- he only states the well-known information that Hephaestion was ill, he ate and drank, and then he died.

I read this book immediately after reading "The Nature of Alexander," by Renault. I admit that Renault has an idolatry for the man (she seems about ready to believe that Zeus was his father), but Prevas goes way over the other border of good scholarship. The text is full of statements like, "Alexander was fair [of complexion] with a temperament that was often a volatile mixture of self-centered adolescent exuberance and feminine hysteria." I learned some things from this book, but mostly I was too irritated by Prevas' derisiveness to really glean much information.

Alexander as a story - not a text........2007-04-29

Briefly - - this is a story, a well written and exciting story, fast paced and informative. Better, of course, if one knows something of the life of the great man already, but I'm sure the novice historian will enjoy the narrative style of writing. A fast read loaded with information that flows like a novel. Well researched, with photos of the areas the army traveled through and of the ruins of what is left to us today. The picture of one woman (and the explanation of her beauty) stirs the imagination of the reader as would the proverbial 1,000 words.

Armchair Historians and Their Agendas.......2007-04-05

I have read well over two-dozen books about Alexander and they cover the gamut from shameless idolatry to bias-ridden and agenda-driven negativity. This book definitely sits in the latter category. There are some good books that saddle somewhere in between the two extremes but they may not be as thoroughly researched or written very well. Understanding Alexander takes a lot of work because he is so often colored by the opinions (both positive and negative) of individuals (other human beings) who are often driven to shape the image of Alexander as they see fit for whatever reasons that we sometimes cannot fathom.

This is a well written book and thoroughly researched, but it is far too easy for an author/scholar to take some accounts of what happened (or supposedly happened) and extrapolate them into a story that's unremittingly dark and negative about the subject matter, in this case - Alexander. It's kind of funny to read some of these historians sit on some moral high horse they erect for themselves and attempt to apply the morals of this age to those of some 2300 years ago. It sometimes makes me wonder what they find so threatening about Alexander in their own lives and ideals. Is Alexander some sort of a spirit that haunts their lives? Does he represent the type of a leader and human being that they wish they could be but never can or will? The bias that these authors exhibit automatically diminishes the scholarly research and thoughts that goes into their writings. We are reading the prejudice of one man who happens to research history for his livelihood and who desperately wants to leave a mark with a viewpoint that, hopefully, will last the test of time.

The truth about Alexander is that he is one of the most important figures in world history and will remain so as long as the human race survives. He'll be written about and debated over like this for many millennia to come (assuming we haven't nuked ourselves into annihilation) and I suppose that fact can rub some historians and others the wrong way. What Alexander achieved and the effects of his achievements cannot be overestimated. There is a real cause-and-effect remnant of Alexander's legacy that lasts to this very day. He paved the eastern front for the emerging Roman Empire and the eventual spread of Christianity. This is simply the flow of history on a macro scale. People can choose to ignore this fact all they want, but that is indeed what happened.

There is no doubt that Alexander committed mistakes and atrocities during his unprecedented epic campaign, but I'd really like to ask some of these revisionist historians: What would YOU have done if you were in his shoes? Can you even imagine what it'd be like to have that kind of power, ability, and resources at that point in history? I'd really like to see some of these historians dedicate a chapter to what THEY would have done. What would YOU do if you're constantly under the threat of assassination and that there are those who would gladly kill you, take over your power and kill off your family for good measure?

During this ancient era, massacre and enslavement of the vanquished was a given. Heck, we've had much worse cases of genocide and atrocities on a massive scale in the past century - some 2200 years after Alexander. Compare Alexander to the likes of some of the worst dictator-thugs of the 20th century: Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung, Pol-Pot, Stalin, Kim Il-Sung, Hussein, Ceaucescu, Miloslevic, Idi Amin, the WWII Japanese imperialists, and countless other lesser known mass murderers spread out over all corners of the world.

Alexander had more absolute power over the world than ANY of these dictators. Alexander certainly had the power to kill far more of the people he conquered. But he didn't. He adopted their customs, dress, and culture. He was, at times, extremely generous to those he conquered - King Porus of India is a shining example. Alexander even extended the territories of Porus after the decisive battle of Hydaspes. How many examples like these are there in the annals of history? Let's compare Alexander to Genghis Khan or Tamerlane, two great Asian conquerors who came around some 1500 years after Alexander. They plundered, raped and mass murdered on a scale that absolutely dwarfs what Alexander did. Also, Alexander outlawed rape.

I read this book with a grain of salt and I would certainly recommend the same to others, but the author's pointed bias and his determination to be vitriolic towards Alexander before he even conceived of the ideas for this book are readily apparent. It's more of an interesting psychoanalysis of the author himself than of Alexander because it simply isn't possible to get a clear overall picture of a figure that existed 2300 years ago and the sources are scattered and at times unreliable. And perhaps this is why Alexander remains such a fascinating figure to this very day and will continue to be so long after we're all gone.

In the Hero's Wake.......2007-02-21

And in John Prevas' reckoning, a wake it was--a wake of absolute tyranny, murder, and destruction that fanned out behind Alexander the Great to leave lasting bitterness in central Asia even two millennia and more later. Well...I have to say that Prevas seems less than impressed by the legacy of Alexander, unwowed if you will by the great Macedonian's brilliant conquests. Prevas goes after Alexander with both a scalpel and an axe, excising and dismembering Alexander's legacy with no regard for the more benevolent interpretations of others. If you are a deep admirer of Alexander, stop here: do not cross the Hellespont--do not go on.

I have been an admirer of Alexander the Great; my readings on the subject have emphasized the brilliance of his tactics, the wisdom of his rule for allowing the conquered to maintain their cultures and traditions. I have been awed by his determination and his ingenuity. As for the bad things, the massacres, the madness, the murders of Cleitus and Parmenio...these were easier to ascribe to the stresses of war--could've happened to anyone in similar circumstances; best to just hold on to the good aspects and overlook the others.

But Prevas isn't fooled by this hero worship. He writes a very different profile of the great conqueror, one in which even Alexander's military successes come into question. One cannot write off Prevas as a "revisionist". His primary sources are identical to those of every other Alexander historian for the past two thousand years, and Alexander is shown to have gone a little (or a lot) crazy in almost every one of these sources. If one simply strips away some benevolent desire on Alexander's part to unify the world for the betterment of mankind, then baser (and much darker) motivations begin to seep through at every point during the journey.

Prevas' interpretation is disturbing, but I am very glad I read it because I believe that Prevas is correct, which doesn't mean that I cannot continue to be fascinated by Alexander's life or the high points of his career. In making his case, though, Prevas seems to lose his detachment, as if his antipathy toward Alexander is personal (and through the competitive world of academia, perhaps it is). Since Prevas traveled to the region, he had an opportunity to write his recollections into the text. He gives us very little of the travelogue, though, which could have made the text more of an experience rather than a crusade. This book does not read with the fluidity and enthusiasm of "Hannibal Crosses the Alps", which is too bad because that book was excellent. Nevertheless, this was still a valuable read and Xenophone is next.

The Fall of Alexander.......2006-04-19

In "Envy of the Gods", John Prevas picks up the story of Alexander the Great with the fall of Persepolis in the spring of 330 B.C.E. and covers it for the final seven years of Alexander's life. It is clear that the author views this period as fall of Alexander. He covers the subject in great detail; bringing a new perspective to the greatest conqueror of the ancient world.

As is pointed out in the introduction, the way Alexander is viewed in the West is in many ways a polar opposite as to how he is seen in the East. In the West, he is viewed as a hero; the man who finally destroyed the Persian Empire, forever removing the threat to Europe. In the East, though, Alexander is a man who slaughtered and enslaved men women and children, and destroyed great cities. Mr. Prevas goes so far as to compare his effect on the East to that which Genghis Khan had on the West.

John Prevas covers in great detail the atrocities of Alexander, and his movement away from Greek and Macedonian traditions as he adopts more and more traditions from Persia and the East. He does a good job of trying to get into the mind of Alexander and his followers to understand their motivations as their outlooks diverged more and more as the army moved East. He also does a good job of bringing together the histories of Curtius, Arrian, and Plutarch to discuss and reconcile (if possible) their differences.

What is missing from this book is the early history of Alexander, which would really help the reader compare and contrast the changes between his rise and fall. Mr. Prevas does occasionally pull an example from earlier in his life, but that is not nearly as effective as a full telling of Alexander's life would be. Since the main text of this book runs only 210 pages, there is certainly room for a more full account of his life.

Overall, this is a very good and detailed account of the last seven years of Alexander's life. The narration could be improved, but it is certainly not unreadable. Also, the book forces the reader to use other resources to cover the rest of Alexander's life in order to get the most out of it. Still, this is a valuable source for the period which it does cover.
