5 out of 5 stars jumper926.......2006-03-23

I'm very pleased with this purchase. This was optional for my class, but I'm very glad I have it. Makes studying for tests easy, it points out key material in the chapter and clears up concepts. Excellent study tool.

5 out of 5 stars Definitly worth the money.......2005-09-17

I would recommend this study guide to anyone going into the accounting course. It is very helpful when you need to study for a test and don't want to read the long chapter again just to jog your memory. It also has very helpful self tests so that you know you are ready for the exam.

    Book Description

    Zinsderivate wie Swaps, Caps, Forwards oder Futures ermöglichen auf vielfältige Weise das Management von Zinsrisiken. Die Bewertung dieser Kontrakte erscheint jedoch meist wesentlich schwieriger und anspruchsvoller als die Bewertung von Aktien- oder Währungsderivaten, da Anleihen besondere Charakteristika, wie eine begrenzte Restlaufzeit und einen sicheren Rückzahlungsbetrag am Laufzeitende, aufweisen. Dieses Buch will dem interessierten Leser den Zugang zu den Modellen erleichtern, indem die allgemeine Bewertungstheorie ausgehend von einfachen Grundlagen in diskreten einperiodigen Modellen entwickelt wird. Die Palette der Modelle reicht dabei von diskreten Ansätzen über zeitstetige Short-Rate-Modelle bis hin zu zinsstrukturkonformen Ansätzen und den aktuell diskutierten LIBOR-Market-Modellen. Bei der Darstellung wird stets großer Wert auf die Vermittlung der ökonomischen Intuition gelegt. Das Buch bietet durch zahlreiche Übungsaufgaben mit Lösungshinweisen eine fundierte Grundlage zum Selbststudium.

        Book Description

        Casebook focuses on three themes: legal and administrative consequences of regulating children rather than adults; procedural and substantive implications of a justice system that emphasizes treatment rather than punishment; and tensions between discretion and rules that occur in a system that treats children rather than punishes adults. Incorporates empirical evaluations and presents psychological research into controversial issues such as gender and racial disparities in juvenile justice administration. Examines the pretrial detention of juveniles and examines how and when states try youths in criminal court rather than in juvenile court. Also explores the alternative sentencing options available to juvenile courts.

                                          Once you start reading George Singleton's eagerly awaited first book of stories, a strange thing happens: You discover that the characters sound like people you know--people who are trying hard to make sense of modern absurdities.
                                          With a style all his own, Singleton fashions a world that wins our hearts but teases our senses: how to find a black-market sonogram so your pregnant wife won't find out you accidentally taped over the original; how to help your father and everyone else in town fake being hit by a tornado to get emergency government funds; and why not to look for your next wife at your local recycling center.
                                          Step into Singleton's world and you'll see why he is earning a reputation as one of the funniest, wisest, and most surprising Southern writers of his generation--and why he was named one of the "new writers you need to know" by Book Magazine.

                                          I wrote a review here when this book first came out, and somehow it's gone by the wayside, so here's part II which is more or less a faint memory of the first.

                                          Southerners often provide excellent characters for stories. Perhaps it's all the sweet potatoes, fried chicken, and mushroom-soup based casseroles that are consumed south of the Mason-Dixon that creates these masterful personality quirks that George captures so well. Every character he creates, I can not only envision, but tell you who they're related to, where they go to church, and what their drink of choice is.

                                          George, much like a character out of a Tom Waits song himself, writes from experiences and observations. He places the reader right in the heart of his narrators and creates a world around that's real enough to smell.

                                          He's just brilliant. The book...also brilliant.

                                          With that we begin a trip, a trip down the backroads of the south. A trip that includes dogs benesth the porch, recycled beer cans, and midget plumbers! Everything that makes the South great!
                                          George has replaced Raymond Carver as my favorite short story writer.

                                          No one writes like George Singleton. Every short story in this grand collection -- as good as, if not better than, J.D. Salinger's NINE STORIES -- is a classic gem. Told with tongue-in-cheek, "These People Are Us" views the world in Singleton's own inimitable vision, sliding through the cracks of life with a grand sweep. In stories that have been published in Playboy, Georgia Literary Review and other literary quarterlies, this collection sings as no other song can be sung. I wouldn't be a bit suprised if Singleton doesn't win the biggest awards in the land with this, his first book.

                                          George Singleton is one of those writers who appears regularly in the best of quarterlies and reviews: Georgia Review, Shenandoah, Glimmer Train, Southern Review, even a couple stories in Playboy. This deserved collection has been a long time coming.

                                          And this is no lie: this boy can write. His stories penetrate the South, depicting narrators in all manner of fixes (taping over a wife's sonogram, caulking a house to within an inch of its life, reporting on a fake tornado, helping blind men shoot pool) in a prose that is as elegant as the Peabody, as savory as barbecue. He nails the Southern experience (call it, perhaps, Good Ol Boy lit), creating empathetic characters and the funniest situations this side the Mississippi.

                                          There are classics here ("Crawl Space," "Outlaw Head and Tail," and the title story jump immediately to mind), stories that deserve to be read for generations to come.

                                          Treat yourself: try this book.

                                          Operation Barbarossa—as this campaign is famously called—was arguably the greatest land campaign mankind has ever fought. Hitler named his assault after the 12th-century Frederick I Barbarossa, an emperor of the First Reich. Although he succeeded in capturing almost 40 percent of European Russia, Hitler was defeated there. Exploiting newly available Soviet archives, David M. Glantz challenges the time-honored explanation that poor weather, bad terrain, and Hitler’s faulty strategic judgement produced the German defeat. He reveals how and why the Red Army thwarted Hitler’s seemingly inexorable progress.

                                          Of the three books I have so far read from Glantz, this one is for sure the best and easiest to read. (OK, also the shortest.) I personally very much enjoyed this book, and also found a lot of new information in it.

                                          Like all of Glantz' books, this one also tells its story with authority. However, the focus is on the large scale, strategic operations and the high command, and therefore does not make for interesting reading.

                                          This is not a book that goes into great detail about individual battles or skirmishes. It does, however, provide an extremely detailed account of the horrendously, seemingly impossible task Stavka faced in dealing with the German onslaught. Glantz provides readers with mind-numbinlgy detailed summaries of armies created on paper only to be slaughtered on the field, of Fronts being designated by desperate planners only to be shattered, and of Generals placed at the heads of armies only to be sacked, or worse, when they, almost, inevitably failed to win victories.

                                          The huge amount of data Glantz provides is almost impossible to keep track of. This book was slow going for me. More maps, higher quality maps, and more charts and tables would have been welcome. The nearly frequent typographical errors were annoying. The excellent endnotes were sometimes hard to locate. I would have preferred footnotes.

                                          David M. Glantz's book, Before Stalingrad rewrite the operational history of the German invasion of Soviet Union between June to December of 1941. Glantz's approach is to informed the reader that it took more then German's missteps and mother nature that determined the outcome of the 1941 campaign but the Soviet's efforts and mobilization of fresh units that also had a major hand. One of the major factors of German failure according to Glantz was the appearance of fresh Soviet reserves units that defied the German intelligence service. One point Glantz really wanted to make was that the German efforts toward Kiev wasn't an error by Hitler but an necessary objective to ensure any chance of German victory in Moscow if there was to be one. He cites the huge amount of Soviet troops trapped around Kiev, wide open flanks that the Germans will be exposing and fresh Soviet units waiting for the Germans in front of Moscow before many of them were expended in premature Soviet offensives that allowed Germans to advanced toward Moscow. I believed there is many merits to his line of arguement if we looked at German's efforts at Rostov and its consequences.

                                          The main angle of study seem to be centered around central operation of the campaign, Soviet responses to Army Group Center seem to highlights the book's main theme. I think the author chooses this approach since this was where the campaign of 1941 was ultimately decided.

                                          The book appears to be well written and well researched with plenty of Soviet material. Its an operational study of the 1941 campaign and looked closely from the Soviet point of view as all of Glantz's books. Its a short book and far more simply written then many of Glantz's other works. It could have used more maps and a more clearer order of battle table.

                                          The book come highly recommended to those interested in this subject matter.

                                          This book will remain best account on Barbarossa:Hitler's invasion of Russia.As we know Barbarossa marked the beginning of biggest land campaign in the History of Warfare.For a long time Barbarossa has continued to fascinate Historians and layman alike.As a result it came to be shrouded in a fog of falsehoods and half-truths.Thanks to the author this stands dispelled.Author shows why Wehrmacht despite its immense qualitative edge over Red Army failed to destroy Russia;capture Moscow.

                                          It must be remembered when Hitler invaded Russia Stavka[ General Staff] had not fully recovered from the damage inflicted upon it by Stalinist purge.Besides Red Army was in the midst of a re-organisation designed to reform its force structure,leadership,training ,equipment,tactics.Many foreign observers thought the country was saddled by a hollow,defunct military establishment and defeat appeared imminent.Against such overwhelming odds Russia survived and ultimately triumphed.Since then many academics have argued Rasputitsa[Oct rains which turn Russian countryside into a sea of mud]harsh winter combined to thwart Wehrmacht when it stood at gates to Moscow.This book,however questions this view.

                                          Wehrmacht's unprepardeness to fight in Russian winter certainly contributed to German defeat.Primary reason leading to German failure lay in the fact Wehrmacht miscalculated Red Army's strength precisely reserves which it could bring from the depths of the country.This helped Stavka to raise fresh divisions from scratch,enabling the erection,of several lines of resistance astride invader's path,as Red Army quickly replenished its losses.New divisions launched incessant counter-attacks;for the Germans struggle started with Battle of Smolensk.Though these attacks were smashed it imposed tremendous attrition upon Wehrmachtso much so when it reached the gates to Moscow German strength ebbed,eroded considerably.Now on the approaches to Moscow Germans encountered fresh Russian resistance.Appearance of T-34 tanks in large numbers -impervious to German anti-tank guns- stunned Nazis.This shows how much they underestimated Russian colossus;exposes faulty nature of German intelligence prelude to Barbarossa.

                                          Germans could hope overcoming this final barrier only by bringing in fresh troops,rearming and refuelling their emasculated armoured spearheads.This was not possible because of poor quality Russian roads and failure to put int operational use of Russian railway network.The errors further aggravated by Hitler's failure to moblise German economy for 'TotalWar'.Army Group Centre launched its final bid to seize Moscow without receiving any reinforcements.

                                          Author has demolished the view of some Historians that Moscow could have been taken had Hitler not diverted Gen Guderian's Second Panzer Group toward Kiev.Fact is after reduction Smolensk pocket considerable Soviet forces remained which barred the road to Moscow.This prompted Hitler go for a easy prey.This manoeuvre in turn created conditions for a successful start of the offensive along Moscow axis[operation Typhoon]

                                          Account of Barbarossa is incomplete without stressing the contribution of Richard Sorge,Soviet spy attached to the German embassy in Tokyo.After all where did Stalin find forces which barred German road to Moscow? Fro the Far East thanks Sorge's intelligence that Japan was going to attack US which helped Soviet leader ruthlessly denudeFar Eastern front rush Siberians to defend Moscow.Later Marshal Zhukov used Siberians divisions to launch Moscow counter-offensive.An author of Glantz's stature has remained silent about this,and I find hard to digest.

                                            A placename is often much more than just a label. A name may bespeak the history of a nation, the culture of a people, or the hopes of an individual. Such connections are revealed in this very large reference work on placenames of the world, which offers an in-depth look at the origins of each. First published in 1997, the work in this new edition contains over 6,000 entries, including 1,000 new placenames from previously under-represented areas such as China and Japan. Entries cover natural features such as mountains, rivers and lakes as well as manmade entities such as cities and countries. Each entry includes the name of the feature; a brief description and its geographical location; and the origin of the name with relevant historical, biographical and topographical details. Appendices give the meanings of common elements of non–English placenames (e.g., Abu, as in Abu Dhabi, means “father of”); major placenames in European languages (e.g., Pays-Bas and Paesi Bassi are the French and Italian names, respectively, for what English speakers call the Netherlands); and transcribed Chinese-language equivalents for the names of the world’s countries and capitals.
