totally worthless.......2004-07-02

It always amazes me how some people have the ability to write a whole book with nothing to say. If you can make money using the techniques in this book please email me, as far as I'm concerned this book is only meant to promote their services. The second half of the book is surely meant to impress, not to teach. I hate these selling techniques: they even make us pay for their promotional material.

Pragmatic advise to those who can listen........2002-08-20

If one were to follow the advise in this book, they would be successful. The author leaves nothing to chance and is trying to teach the reader that he too must leave nothing to the whim of the market. The premise on which this excellent book is founded is to react to the market and not forecast it. As Jea Yu points out, it is harder to do than you might expect. The battleground is really the "baggage" that we all bring to the table - our ego's, our budget and most of all our bad judgment. This is a great book and teaches a winning style, if the trader has the discipline to follow it.

Outstanding. Read it again and again........2002-07-20

A novice should probably read that fluffy Toni Turner book to get an idea of the lingo, but no one should contemplate day trading without reading Lu. This book is a detailed description of the intricacies of no-nonsense, hardcore daytrading, written by a consistently successful practitioner.

I have read dozens of books on trading and this is the only one that I read again within one week of finishing it for the first time. It's simply too good to store on a shelf. Read it, learn from it, read it again, profit from it.

To use an old cliche, the small amount of money spent on this book will be the best investment you'll ever make. I'm not kidding. Read Toni Turner's sappy book if you must, if you're new to the game, but don't open an account until you read Jea Lu. His explanation of Level II screens, the use of stochastics and moving averages, and his advocacy of zero-emotion trading are all gems, which alone would be worth the price of the book.

I'm currently re-reading it, cover to cover, for the third time.

Add this to your arsenal.......2001-12-22

Books on day trading are everywhere! Hmm...is this book for you you ask? This book should be read by all beginner to intermediate traders. Many people think that they can find ONE book out there and read it and make $$$. It's not like that in this profession. Would you be a lawyer after reading one book, much less without a degree? So this book is a tool, and a good one at that. No fluff here, just the experiences of someone who trades. If you wake up and sit in front of your monitor from 7:30am to 4pm watching Nasdaq Level II screens and daily/intraday charts...they this book will help you. He shows you HIS experiences in the market. Like I said in my headline....add this to your arsenal of solid daytrading books.

One of the best books on day trading..........2001-12-04

Most who attempt day trading fail because they underestimate the learning curve, both in terms of the knowledge and capital it takes to succeed. The UndergroundTrader.com Guide to Electronic Trading, is recommended to those with at least some day trading experience, who are determined to survive the learning curve. Author Jea Yu is co-founder of UndergroundTrader.com, a popular Web site for day traders. "The secret to successful trading" he says, "is to know what to do when certain prices occur, and to let go of belief and prediction in order to focus more clearly on what is actually happening in the market."

The book's themes are the necessity for precise, objective methods of identifying and managing trades, the requirement for discipline, the importance of money management, and the powerful psychological factors that lead traders into self-defeating behavior. Charting indicators and studies such as moving averages, stochastics, and Fibonacci pivot points are detailed and illustrated, and the author does a superlative job of explaining the nuances of reading the Nasdaq Level 2 screen and how to track the ax and significant market makers. Execution methods and order routing are covered, as are as ways to exit trades in fast markets. Two days in the life of author-trader Yu are detailed minute-by-minute, trade-by-trade - and this section demonstrates and ties together the principles and techniques presented throughout the book.

Roll up your sleeves, for you will likely find this one of the best books on how to day trade with success.

Book Description

If there is one thing we can be sure of concerning the Saxons, Vikings and Normans who inhabited the medieval world, it is that they were a good deal more advanced than some writings would have us believe. This fascinating book by Terence Wise explores the history, organization, clothing, equipment and weapons of Saxon, Viking and Norman peoples, covering wide-ranging topics such as Anglo-Saxon shields, Viking raiding ships and the organization of Norman armies.The absorbing and readable text is enriched by numerous illustrations and museum photographs with commentaries, plus eight superbly drawn full page colour plates by renowned military artist Gerry Embleton.

A great introduction to the Dark Ages of Western Europe and the warriors who put out of its misery the Western Roman Empire. Some really good text and some great illustration from one of the early efforts of Osprey.

Very comprehensive, very colourful, clear informative text which tells the reader the difference between what is speculation and what has been found. Good period range.

Excellent How-To for making Viking Armour.......2000-08-03

This book far exceeds anything I have seen in describing and showing how to build authentic looking and authentic ACTING clothes, armour, and weapons of the Viking/Medieval era. If your in the Society for Creative Anachronism and your persona is viking/norse, YOU NEED THIS BOOK!!! Excellent pictures of authentic pieces and comparisons to modern replicas, along with sketches on how everything was made. If you want to look good on the warfield, this is the book to help you do it.

An excellent discussion of the equipage of the groups.......1997-11-27

I found this book to be excellent. It included the late Roman Empire equipage that I had missed from the series' other book on the Romans, as well as the Scotti and Pict raiders, the Saxon invaders, the Vikings, and the Normans. The focus of the book is on how a re-enactor might recreate the arms, armors, and clothing of these groups and I, as one who likes to draw ancient soldiers, found it to be most useful.

Book Description

Spanish Gypsy—the words themselves conjure up the sound of castanets, heels tapping the floor, plaintive yet passionate singing and the unforgettable sight of a seductive figure, back arched, skirts swirling, dancing with fierce grace. This creature, this stereotype, has been all but synonymous with Spain since the 19th century, and there are no signs that her power as a national icon is on the wane. Surprising as it may seem, The Spanish Gypsy by Lou Charnon-Deutsch, the well known Hispanist, is the first comprehensive history of this icon and her people, who have long been shrouded in mystery and all too often subjected to discrimination and persecution.

Charnon-Deutsch starts her story in the Middle Ages and proceeds to show how Europeans came to revere but also fear Gypsies because of their nomadic way of life and the freedoms it seemed to allow. Much of Charnon-Deutsch's information is drawn from historical and sociological studies, but she also proposes new readings of literature, starting with Cervantes's "Precious Jewel of Love" and moving on to the vogue for Gypsy subjects that arose in the Romantic era.

This fascinating book reaches its culmination in the chapters devoted to Spain's embrace of Gypsy myth and lore. Here the range of materials broadens to include music, dance, and the visual arts. Although the primary audience for Charnon-Deutsch's study will be students of Spanish social and cultural history, it will also be essential reading for all those interested in a group of people who remain the least understood ethnic minority in Europe.

Customer Reviews:

Wordy, out-of-touch with real world medication therapy and anything but, "made easy." .......2006-12-19

Simply stated, too much of this book reads like a verbose dissertation. For instance, "The 4.5ml/hr is the wanted quantity and is the answer to the problem." p. 142

Wanted quantity...what's wrong with, "4.5ml/hr is the answer!"

This type of wordiness is evident throughout the book and is totally without merit.

The author has developed equations called, "sequential method", and "random method" to problem solve. Nurses don't need to re-think simple math. The authors' computations are confusing...and I've been calculating drips for 10 years.

Finally, I'd like to comment on the drug conentrations used in problems. On page 141, Dobutamine is used in a problem with a concentration of 250mg/50cc. I understand that, theoretically, a nurse should be able to solve any drip problem. And perhaps the patient required extremely strict fluid parameters. But rarely, if ever, would a nurse see this concentration in real life. This drug has come premixed for years. Mixing is antiquated and, potentially, a step when errors can occur.

Still presenting drams and grains--without at least noting the utter abandonment of such measurements in this day and age--is a disservice to any new nurse.

New nurses should be presented with real-life scenarios in order to build strong clinical foundations.

These authors, I feel, are completely out of touch with contemporary hospital practices and should not be authoring critical information.

Book Description

This systematic guide to solving dosage calculation problems uses a consistent, straightforward approach, employing the Dimensional Analysis -- or Label Factor -- method. Since the focus is placed on understanding how to problem solve rather than on memorization, students build a better foundation for learning. The text takes the reader from simple, one-factor problems to complex, multiple-factor problems. This building-block approach helps the student learn in a proven, systematic way. Using the UNIT PATH graphic, dimensional analysis problem-solving is presented in a clear, step-by-step format. Frequent `Thinking Through the Problem' HINTS provide special guidance for clarifying the critical thinking process. Two chapters are devoted to self-evaluation, allowing students to test their knowledge. A separate chapter of case studies illustrates the use of dosage calculation in the `real world'. Special features include chapter objectives, liberal examples, actual drug labels, many opportunities to practice, and a detailed answer key.
