5 out of 5 stars I really like the way the author writes.......2005-09-26

I've bought and sold many options using a variety of strategies. I enjoy reading as much as possible on options strategies because of the complexity of the subject. The author writes in a very clear logical sequence starting with Options 101 and then rapidly moves on to the more advanced strategies. He doesn't lose you in technical terms but keeps your interest as he walks through Options 401 (more advanced), and onto the more complex stuff. If you want to understand all of the "greek" options stuff, he explains it in an understandable format. Most options books I read get too generic and I lose interest but this book was different and I actually enjoyed it. I have 5 options books on my shelf right now and this one is the best of the group by far.

            Book Description

            The purpose of this book is to help bankers in their task of establishing, developing, and supervising foreign exchange departments. The essays included provide insightful and explanatory comments of a general nature in an area where no two institutions are likely to have similar needs or opportunities. The scarcity of books on foreign exchange departments is largely due to this diversity. Rudi Weisweiller's edited collection will appeal to the bankers who want to collaborate closely and successfully with personnel in foreign exchange departments and also to those actually engaged in the day-to-day work of those departments. This is partly a book for foreign exchange dealers and partly a book about them. Each contributor to this book is experienced and still active in the field of foreign exchange. Their accumulated experience has led to this knowledgeable volume, which will be useful to present and future practitioners as a general overview of the foreign exchange department in the modern financial institution.

                              Book Description

                              The 27th Leeds-Lyon Symposium on Tribology was held at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées de Lyon, 5-8 September 2000. The central theme was: 'Tribology Research: From Model Experiment to Industrial Problem: A century of efforts in mechanics, materials science and physico-chemistry'. To celebrate the Year 2000, the organisers tried to achieve two different goals. First, to bring together contributions from the three major scientific fields that make up the Tribological community: mechanics, physico-chemistry and materials science. The second goal was to attract contributions ranging from complex industrial problems to model experiments.


                              The conference began with two keynote lectures, the first being a detailed technical lecture on the dynamic behaviour of an elastic shaft supported by hydrodynamic bearings. The second was an overview of first principles multi-scale modelling of physicochemical aspects of tribology. Both of these interesting lectures are included in the proceedings volume.

                              ...Not Quite as Advertised.

                              Jocelyn McBride hates coming in second...especially coming in second to Hugh Brannon, an ex-lover and current nemesis. But the more she's around Hugh, the more she discovers a man who makes her laugh...who makes her discover something that's been missing in her life. Could it be love, like Hugh claims?

                              Tanya Michael shines in this romantic comedy!

                              5 out of 5 stars Funny and Poignant.......2004-12-05

                              This book had everything I want - especially because both Hugh and Joss grew and became better people. The characters seemed like real people with problems I could understand. Joss had a mother who drove her nuts (who couldn't relate to that?) and I really liked how the writer worked the relationship between them.

                              Hugh and Joss also acted like adults - there were real reasons for the way they acted. There were no silly misunderstandings. One of the reasons I picked up this book was because they were a couple in the past, and the writer really made this story interesting. They were both hurt by their relationship, and reading about them working through that was half the fun.

                              There were times I laughed out loud - and Hugh had the kind of guy humor that makes me want to read romance novels.

                                2 out of 5 stars Don't Believe the Hype.......2006-10-05

                                While this book is a good general overview of unarmed combat techniques, it lacks specificity and the illustrated techniques can be learned in any credible martial arts dojo. The author's credibility is also questionable, as the U.S. Army Combatives School at Fort Benning, Georgia does not teach any of what he espouses here. Also,his claims of having been the chief instructor for the U.S. Army and for the 2d Infantry Division and 8th Army in the ROK and other areas is not what I remember nor do any of my service compatriots. What is in the book is not what Special Operators or infantrymen are taught. While Mr. Holifield may be an accomplished fighter by his own account,the book raises many doubts as to the usefulness of its content.I would recommend it to beginners only as a reference.

                                5 out of 5 stars Superb - A wide variety of essential techniques........2006-01-13

                                I've studied several martial arts for a little over six years. Not too long compared to most, but enough to get a pretty decent standing in the world of martial arts. This book takes very simple techniques, and breaks them down so simply that a beginner could almost pick them up immediately.

                                This book covers knife defenses, handgun defenses, defense using objects you'll find around your camp/in your rucksack, as well as offensive and defensive tactics using your M-16 as well as the M-16 with a bayonet. This is perfect for all military personnel looking for combat effective techniques that you can pickup quickly, and do not rely on strength, nor require loose clothing to execute them. (Full combat gear, BDU's, kevlar, LBE's will work fine with nearly all of them)

                                It also talks about philosophies on various aspects of combat, relating the military and martial arts as almost a single unit. I'd recommend this book to ANYONE looking for direct, useful material.

                                5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Book!.......2005-03-10

                                I just came off a 9 month tour in Iraq and decided to look into some training material on hand to hand combat to share with my men when I return to Iraq. Holifield's name had come up in previous discussions regarding close combat training so I decided to purchase his book and videos upon my return. For those of you who may be unsure about purchasing this book due to some negative reviews, don't be swayed! From my point of view, the book was written as a basic guide to close quarter combat, and targeted for the average foot soldier (not so much spec ops). In that regard the book is perfect! It breaks down each move and is laid out in a easy to understand format. His video series on the other hand is unreal! He is a dangerous man and knows what the hell he's talking about. If you go to war and meet the enemy face-to-face, you want Holifield with you for sure!!! Buy the book for the basics and the video to finish the job!

                                5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2005-02-25

                                Believe it or not, this book is all you need. It's helped me out in many situations including aprehending suspects, hostage situations, and much more actually. I wasn't expecting something this good. The pictures add to the easiness of understanding it and applying it to real life. This book was definitely WELL worth the buy.

                                3 out of 5 stars CQC.......2005-02-15

                                I think it is important to point out that while gnerally speaking most special forces soldiers and others of the like who have been trained in cqc utilize these techniques with knives, bayonets etc, very rarely does one need to use hands exclusively, even sentry stalking is done with a knife.

                                Overall I have to agree with the seemingly uneducated and poorly spelled reviews here. From the perspective of someone who trains hand to hanb combat exclusively, this book will appear quite remedial, remember this is written for soldiers who are not in special forces and do not have acess to a cqc course, general army is not taught hand to hand, except for basic rifle bayonet drills and knife drills. If you want to get skilled as a fighter I suggest you read Rex applegates books on knife fighting and shooting, and for purely hand to hand read Jack Dempsey's how to fight tough, look Professor Hollifield may be known throughout the army but in my experience it is usually the most famous guy who sucks the most, remember Jack Dempsey was once the world heavyweight champion he is the man mike tyson based his fighting style on, you telling me this Professor hollifield could take jack dempsey, me thinks not.

                                5 out of 5 stars A excellent book that should be read by all Americans.......1996-08-06

                                The scope of this book is incredible: to give a brief overview of all non-American cultures in the world. This includes history, music, art, literature, politics and much more. The book is written in an easy-to-read style. Although it can be used as a reference guide, I read the book straight through from cover to cover.

                                This is the book for you if you feel asleep during high-school history/art/social studies classes and now find yourself clueless about the world outside the U.S. It is very up to date (including the assassination of Perez) and hopefully will be reprinted yearly.
