This book makes it so much more easier for me and my students while they are learning. A million thanks to the author and his publishers.

Purchase this book plus "Italian Verb Drills", plus "Essential Italian Grammar", plus "Pimsleur's Basic Italian" (audio CD set) and you're on your way to speak the most romantic and musical language on the planet!!! That's all you need!! Well, now it's up to you to TAKE THE FIRST STEP and be patient! Results will come before you know it, just put the effort in and it will come back 10-fold!
Don't forget the NECESSITIES to learning a language: PRACTICE, REPETITION, and PATIENCE!

Valuable reference to the serious student of Italian.......2006-08-28

"501 Italian Verbs" is a valuable addition to the reference material any serious student of the Italian language requires in reaching a high level of proficiency. Some common verbs often only have a single irregularity in one of its persons, tenses or participles, and this reference book has most, if not all, of them covered. I also find the contextual example sentences and phrases using each verb quite handy. It is well laid out, and it is easy to look up any given verb.

Verbs Made Easy.......2006-08-25

This series is an excellent resource for anyone studying a foreign language.

A Must Have Handy reference If you Want to Master the Italian Language.......2006-07-25

This book is a handy reference guide, useful for students, business people, and travelers, which presents the fully conjugated forms of 501 commonly used Italian verbs. The verbs are arranged in alphabetical order, one verb per page. On each page the subject pronouns have been omitted, as they usually are in everyday Italian conversation, in order to emphasize the verbs forms. Only the reflexive pronouns are given, since these pronouns may never be omitted.

To complement the learning experience, at the bottom of each page, simple sentences or idiomatic expressions that use forms of the verb are included.

The book includes a brief description and examples of accents and Italian pronunciation.

All in all an excellent guide and reference for anyone and everyone wanting to master the Italian language.

Book Description

On a summer weekend of 1964, four Chicano teenagers help a white girl run away. Dogged by a mob led by the girl's father, our heroes descend into a harrowing climax that no kid in his right mind would have chosen.

Customer Reviews:

Kudos for Westward Eden.......2006-02-06

Finally a book that tells it like it is: Kids being adventurous. It isn't every day that one writes about Chicano kids, especially GIFTED Chicano kids doing a great and noble deed. That is to say helping a Caucasian girl finds her missing mother at the heels of her crazy dad and the mob he whipped up to go after the boys. Still, the story is about not just growing up but getting along with one another. It's a daring trek through the wilds of Sonoma County of generations past and yet it is a story that is as timely as today, defying the apathy and cynicism that is so common in today's world. Moreover, it's a story for every middle school kid or older who can still wish that a daring deed is worth fighting for.

Book Description

The catastrophic crisis of late 2001 and early 2002 marks the tragic end to Argentina's initially successful, decade-long experiment with sound money and market-oriented economic reform. The IMF consistently supported Argentina's stabilization and reform efforts in the decade leading up to the current crisis, and often pointed to many of Argentina's policies as examples for other emerging market economies to emulate.

In this analysis, former IMF Chief Economist Michael Mussa addresses the obvious question: What went wrong in Argentina and what critical errors did the IMF make in either supporting inappropriate policies or in failing to press for alternatives that might have avoided catastrophe? He emphasizes that the persistent inability of the Argentine authorities at all levels to run a responsible fiscal policy—even when the Argentine economy was performing very well—was the primary avoidable cause of the country's catastrophic financial collapse. The IMF failed to press aggressively for a more responsible fiscal policy. Mussa also addresses the role of the Convertibility Plan, which linked the Argentine peso rigidly at parity with the U.S. dollar and played a central role in both the initial success and ultimate collapse of Argentina's stabilization and reform efforts. While the IMF accepted this plan as a basic policy choice of the Argentine authorities so long as it remained viable, it erred in the summer of 2001 by extending further massive support for unsustainable policies, rather than insisting on a new policy strategy that might have mitigated some of the damage from a crisis that had become unavoidable.

Mussa moves on to discuss what needs to be done to restore economic and financial stability in Argentina and begin the process of recovery, including the proper role that the IMF and the international community. He also examines what the IMF can do to avoid repeating the types of mistakes it made in the tragic case of Argentina.

The truth about the economic turmoil in Argentina.......2004-03-12

A great book that reflects the real problems that lead to the economic crisis in December 2001. Today's Argentinian populist politicians should read this book to learn that the Convertibility system was not the cause of the problem but in fact it was the fiscal irresponsability of the provinces, causing fiscal deficits that were imposible to deal with.
If you need to study the Argentina case you should definitly buy this book and learn the truth about it.

Concise and Elegant!.......2003-04-27

I used this book for a business school "Central Banking" class recently. Michael Mussa really knew what he was talking about, and he writes concisely and elegantly.

He analyzed the effects on the Argentinian economy of irresponsbible fiscal and monetary policies. And in the process of doing so, he also convincingly illustrated the intercation between fiscal and monetary policies and its implications in steering the economy in general.

Best book written on Argentinian economy I have ever read. Two-thumbs up!

Book Description

Practically all donor countries that give aid claim to do so on the basis on the recipient's good governance, but do these claims have a real impact on the allocation of aid? Are democratic, human rights-respecting, countries with low levels of corruption and military expenditures actually likely to receive more aid than other countries?
Using econometric analysis, the author examines the factors that really determine the patterns of aid giving. The author analyses such examples as:
* aggregate aid flows
* aid from multilateral organisations such as the EU and the UN
* aid from bilateral donors such as Germany, Japan, the US as well as Arab donors.
This concise, well argued and well researched book will be a great read for students, academics and policy-makers involved in development studies, economics and international relations.

Too many incongruences.......2007-10-08

I have just bought this book. Went to Chapter 8 and study it deeply. I challenge anyone to understand the strategy explained as there are many incongruence between what explained and the example charts. How can a trading book be confusing?

Do not trust my opinion? I challenge anyone to find chapter eight congruent. I challenge anyone.

Suggestion: do not buy this book.

Excellent.......2007-09-30

Well rounded book on trading for people to gain an overview of all markets. The best ones like this are by those who actually trade.
This is one of the first I read as a beginner, where some of the things were over my head but still held a lot of interest. Re-reading it now brings out the full benefit. Great book.

Anyone knocking this book does not trade daily........2007-09-27

When I first heard the reviews of John Carter's Book ,I was a bit confused. Some people said the book was great, some said it sucks. Then I bought the book and read it. This book is a very good look at trading from top to bottom and in the middle. The people that are dogging this book must not trade at all period. These are very simple and easy strategies to follow with examples to support. PLEASE BACKTEST and USE TIGHTER STOPS, because the guy is either filthy rich or got balls of steel....I am sure Carter did not put a lot of his losers in the book but he did put some. I find it sad that people dog this guy so much. Yeah, he is greedy..very greedy, but his products are what they are, GOOD. My only complaint is his DVD's are 2400.00 and his open software indicators are copied from the Tradestation library and are 1600.00. ALL in all he has a great book and a good website with a free trial that is only 14 bucks. He has some excel downloads worth that alone. Buy this book if you want to day trade or get a better perspective of other succesful traders. You will learn a lot. Try to buy his other products 2nd hand they are too HIGH. If the guy's products wasn't so high he would be a lot more popular and respected. He has been called a snake oil salesman. He is not that,he is just a greedy salesman and a helluva trader... Great Book on trading!!!!!!!!!

Great Read.......2007-09-08

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it!! It covers all aspects of trading not just strategies and setups e.g. trading tools, trading mindset etc....lots of great information on futures, equities, options and forex.

A great trader's course.......2007-08-10

This book is a great trader's course. The author tells you everything you need to know, from selecting computer hardware (this info might be a bit dated), to risk management, financial psychology, discipline needed to trade all markets. There are about 10 chapters with setups where the author shows you the entry, exit points and stop loss points and gives about 4 or 5 examples of how he successfully traded each of the setups he is showing you. My only complaint is that the author only shows 3 or 4 failures in the whole book. This might lead a person to be overconfident and think that trading is so easy a caveman can do it. :)

If the author has a dozen setups that can work in any market, and he can trade 24/7 on the global markets, forex, etc. and he applies the risk and money management techniques in his book and he only has a 6% failure rate, he should be a multi-billionaire by now.

Overall, a very good book, but the author makes trading seem a lot easier than it really is. In real life trading, unlike the book, you won't have only 3 failures for every 50 successes.
