Book Description
The products we purchase and use are assembled from a wide range of naturally occurring and manufactured materials. But too often we create hazards for the ecosystem and human health as we mine, process, distribute, use, and dispose of these materials. Until recently, most research has focused on the waste end of material cycles. This book argues that the safest and least costly point at which to avoid environmental damage is when materials are first designed and selected for use in industrial production.
Materials Matter presents convincing evidence that we can use fewer materials and eliminate the use of many toxic chemicals by focusing directly on material (chemical) use when products are designed. It also shows how manufacturers can save money by increasing the effectiveness of material use and reducing the use of toxic chemicals. It advocates new directions for the material sciences and government policies on materials. And it argues that manufacturers, suppliers, and customers need to set more socially responsible policies for products and services to achieve higher environmental and health goals.

Customer Reviews:
Great book for a novice........2007-10-01
Well written with great illustrations. Perfect aide to learn to cast. Could use a bit more detail on how to fish different types of flies, but great all-round guide.
Great overall fly fishing reference.......2007-09-09
Just starting to fly fish and this really fits the bill for my need to understand the terms and trade offs for this not-so-simple sport.
Outstanding book for the beginner........2007-08-25
Outstanding book for the beginner. Lots of color pics and diagrams plus tones of good information. I'm not an advanced fisherman so I will not comment about how it would be fore an advanced fisherman but I would say if I where to guess, it has plenty of info even for the none beginner.
In my novice experience, this is the best beginner's guide..........2007-06-27
In my novice experience, this is the best beginner's guide to fly fishing. I had ordered the Orvis Fly-Fishing Guide together with this book and in comparison I have to say that L.L. Bean Ultimate Book of Fly Fishing is the better one. This book provides a much better introduction to fly fishing to novices like me, beginning from the basics. Although advanced fly fishers would probably be bored by the chapters that introduce the uninitiated to this sport/pastime, teaching them the bones, so to speak, I am sure this book has a lot of wisdom to impart to all enthusiasts.

Customer Reviews:
great teaching aide!.......2006-11-10
Systematic Sequential Phonics they use has proven to be a very valuable tool in teaching my ESE students the rules of phonics. They have come an amazingly long way using this book.
This one is the best!.......2005-03-13
I own a number of Patricia Cunningham's books. I use many of her techniques. But this book is the best of the "Making Words" series for teachers who want a 'systematic sequential' plan. Other Making Words books seem to be for better spellers. My students needed the careful pacing, beginning with predominately short vowels, that is found in this book. This is the book I use every day!
Book Description
Drive . . . and grow rich!
The bestselling author of
Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. In
Adventure
Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed “the Indiana Jones of finance” by Time magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. “While I have never patronized a prostitute,” he writes, “I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister.”
Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their “Millennium Adventure” on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes.
They camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers.
Best of all, they saw the real world from the ground up—the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood—economically, politically, and socially.
Here are just a few of the author’s conclusions:
• The new commodity bull market has started.
• The twenty-first century will belong to China.
• There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia.
• Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating.
• India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries.
• The Euro is doomed to fail.
• There are fortunes to be made in Angola.
• Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are a scam.
• Bolivia is a comer after decades of instability, thanks to gigantic amounts of natural gas.
Adventure Capitalist is the most opinionated, sprawling, adventurous journey you’re likely to take within the pages of a book—the perfect read for armchair adventurers, global investors, car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in seeing the world and understanding it as it really is.
From the Hardcover edition.
Customer Reviews:
The Ultimate Road Trip, indeed.......2007-04-05
I am quite impressed by this book and Jim Rogers trip. We all would like to do a tour of the world, but very few of us can spare the time or the money. Being a retired billionaire does help in that respect and if only because it gives the necessary funding to construct your own vehicle and do as you please. Jim Rogers does precisely that. In a way, we all ought to be jealous or make a killing money-wise and do it ourselves.
I loved the description of his trip from Ireland to Tokyo and back to Ireland as well as his trip down and up through Africa. Jim Rogers being an investor he was bound to make all sorts of observations on the economies he traveled through. Some of these I found spot-on. I also agreed with his observation on foreign aid projects given that I have also seen them in action.
The one disappointment for me were his travels from India to New Zealand and his trip through the American continent and largely because he describes it rather briefly. I think they would have deserved at least as much attention as Part One and Part Two of his trip.
But apart from that, this is excellent stuff.
A travel saga through an investor's eyes.......2006-07-18
Jim Rogers, an independent, insightful global investor, wrote this great modern adventure story. He made his money by being an investment iconoclast and that maverick attitude shows in his forthright assessments of entire nations and government bureaucracies. His ground-level adventures are entertaining, but they also provide fundamental research about global markets that economists and corporate strategists should find very valuable. If Rogers is right, his feedback could save strategists hundreds of thousands of dollars in research or consulting fees. He seems to report his observations honestly. He flatly states which countries he thinks are disintegrating, and which ones he thinks seem to be ascending. And, he throws in some disturbing opinions about the U.S. We find this book valuable for global investors, corporate strategists and people interested in adventure travel. While Rogers and his traveling companion had to endure months of inconvenience, inoculations and car trouble to make their trek, you can enjoy their story from your home or office - unless, of course, it inspires you to hit the road.
CEO Blog reviews.......2006-04-13
I finished one of the books I started on the weekend called Adventure Capitalism by Jim Rogers. It is an awesome book. More like a novel or travel narration in many ways than a business book. This makes it slightly slower reading. Jim, and his wife Paige, drive around the world in a modified Mercedes. He comments on the business environment and economy of the countries he visits. Part of what makes the book interesting is the stories he tells of their experiences. He is a natural story teller.
He is a big believer in free trade and open borders and cites numerous examples of countries with open (or closed) borders that prosper (or whither). For example, Burma was a wealthy country which closed its borders in 1962 - it is now a disaster. Same for Ghana, the wealthiest country in the British empire in the 50's(ever wealthier than England) which closed it borders in 1957. Seven years later it was bankrupt.
He has a view is that handouts to countries create dependency and slow self reliance. This is similar to a view taken in one of my favourite books The Millionaire Next Door to handouts to our children..
Trade tariffs (or things like the beef embargo) act as an inefficient tax on the citizens of a country. The citizens pay more for their products which allow local producers to make a bit more profit. This creates a laziness and inefficiency in the local producers that cause them to not be competitive on a world scale. Interesting view.
His view on India differs from The World is Flat (see June 19th post on my blog). Good on the ground R and D.
Rogers can sure execute a plan.......2005-12-17
Rogers writes this book as a follow-on to "Investment Biker" which he wrote in the early 1990's. The difference is he doesn't get rained on as much as his exposure to the elements is limited by his surrounding automobile versus his totally-exposed-to-the-elements motorcycle.
The crux of his book isn't so much a travelogue as about his exploits as a commodity maven or as one who seeks to improve his human capital in that regard. Throughout the book I marveled at his insights and comparisons, and his doggedness at learning by keeping his ear to the ground and his eyes on the road. He knows a great deal about history and the ebb and flow of successful (and unsuccessful) societies. He recounts his own take on the historical, social, political, military, and financial (seen thru currency spreads) realities on every country he visits, - all 116 of them. He's a courageous guy, one with the genes for adventure and risk taking even though he claims to never take risks while investing. This implies that he always buys when there's "blood in the streets" (at the bottom), but his latest problems with Refco, the bankrupt commodity trading operation and it's fraudulent books are a testament and refutation to this claim. That may seem rather cavalier of me to say, but there are always unforseen risks in investing no matter how thorough your research and he knows this better than I.
As a contrast to the high regard in which I hold Rogers as an investor, I am somewhat flummoxed with his claims to be anti-war. After all, he had to occasionally be escorted by armed convoys when he traveled thru Africa and other countries of the sub-continent. Why does he think we give guns to cops? Put another way, the only way you can ultimately neutralize the bad guys is with force. If you want peace you must be prepared for war or so the saying goes. While Rogers correctly states that avaricious politicians are almost always the culprits with regard to war mongering, there are some wars which are wars of liberation i.e. our forays into Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, etc. One need only look at the tremendous outpouring and participation of those who have recently voted in Afghanistan and Iraq. These events make George Kennan's containment theory look a bit dated though it did work acceptably at the time, some 55 to 60 years ago. From my personal perspective Reagan had it right in his dealings with the Soviets and we could have shortened the Cold War considerably had we followed his dictums.
Rogers is certainly correct in understanding the damage that unscrupulous politicians can wreak citing endless examples of it in this book, and his major investment thesis is to buy into a country when no one else will consider it. Given that many of these countires seem to be not countries at all but oil wells with a flag over them, Rogers is true to his calling as an investigative commodities investor, one with his nose close to the ground. By contrast, most large investors are "top-down" guys who look for expanding or contracting spreads after which they invest in the biggest companies in the sector. If you pay close attention to Rogers you see that he always goes for the stocks of staple industries: tobacco, banking, brewing, oil, gas, etc; all industries with a local as well as a potential global market. Because most countries don't manufacture anything that any global consumer will buy, they sell what they can grow and what they have underground in the way of natural resources. If they can cost effectively get it in deliverable form they can export it. After that their next gambit is arms and tourism. As an aside, Rogers points out and correctly so that when the price of oil drops again the Russians are in for a heap of trouble, all the way around. But, it's always something isn't it (Remember Roseanne-a-danna-danna?)
I'd recommend this book to anyone who is an investor and intersted in a macro level birds-eye view of the world. Not many guys have Rogers' keen insights nor his zest for getting down and dirty in the pursuit of the next profitable natural resource or currency play. He's a real maverick and a successful on at that. My hat is certainly off to him and I will faithfully read his next offering which though unannounced will, I'm guessing, be about either undersea or space travel as he seems to have covered everything else, what do you think?
Post-script with a dolled-up Mercedes AMG.......2005-11-27
Following-up on the Investment Biker travelogue, Rogers decides to take this trip in the comforts of an AMG spruced up car. While traveling to more locations and experiencing more life-changing events (death of father, marriage), Roger's 2nd world travel account lacks the cutting adventure of the first. Unique to it's moment in history the first explored the vastly changing political and economic changes that occured with the overnight end of the Cold War, while this account alienates its field description due to a more distanced and experienced writer, as well as more entrenched world situation.
Just as winning a 2nd championship doesn't compare to the first, going around the world and being exposed to things you could never describe or fully understand unless there in person is mitigated by a 2nd serving. Upon trying a new fruit, the possibilities and diversions are endless, but upon experiencing the taste, texture, and terrain of a fruit, analagous to a geographic continent, becomes less revelatory and more familiar. Despite the more distanced, more fragmented, and less nuanced description of each area, this is still an amazing account, few of which can match living in the world today.

Amazing story, profound insight.......2003-06-01
Review of Adventure Capitalist, by Jim Rogers
Reviewer: Mark Lamendola, MBA, and author of over 3500 articles in print or online.
In 1999, I began tracking an incredible journey chronicled each month by Jim Rogers in Worth Magazine. I'm a front to back reader, but I made an exception to that rule by going directly to Rogers' column and reading it first. In a moment, you'll see why I felt so compelled to do that.
First, let's move back a few years. Mark Benjamin, with whom I attended grade school, walked around the world in the 1990s. He got a frost-bitten thumb in the Sahara while doing so! The insight he gained from his journey amazed me. Anyone who can travel the world, I mean really travel it up close, has a fascinating story to tell. Unfortunately, Mark didn't write a book about his adventures.
However, we all have an opportunity to read about another inquisitive mind making a journey "up close and personal" to 116 countries. Only this time, it's not Mark Benjamin walking. Nor is it Jim Rogers on a motorcycle (another amazing story, chronicled in The Investment Biker). This time, it's Jim Rogers with the beautiful Paige Parker, in a customized bright yellow Mercedes. And what a story they have to tell.
The Adventure Capitalist is a book you can read for entertainment or for education. You can read it for both, if you wish. One thing you cannot do with this book is easily set it down once you start reading it. Believe me, I tried.
On the adventure side, I was chewing my nails when troops from the Angolan Army stopped them at gunpoint and refused to let them go further. I won't spoil the story for you, but it was definitely exciting. And their trek across Siberia was chilling due to more than the weather. The account of Rogers' encounter with a Russian Mafia chief immediately brought to mind Robert Ludlum's thriller novels. Truth is often stranger than fiction, and in this case it's downright intriguing.
The real value of Adventure Capitalist to me is the insight. I found the book immensely informative. The combination of facts, figures, and logic impressed me, but the way Rogers put them together reminds me of what happens when those big lights go on at a football stadium-you can see things that you couldn't see before.
I now clearly understand which country will dominate the 21st century and why. I now know why the monetary policy of the USA (like that of most nations)is insane, not just unsound as I had previously described it.
And I now know what our insanely unsound monetary policy means for people all over the world, and how dire the consequences are becoming for the millions of folks in countries like Argentina. Even more, I can see past propaganda, such as the idea that a nation that downsized its navy from 200 aircraft carriers to 12 and ran out of missiles in Afghanistan (and again in Iraq) is a "military superpower."
The consequences of mismanagement, incompetence, and corruption at the highest levels of government (and it just rolls downhill from there) are readily apparent to one who, like Rogers, has seen the devastation firsthand-nearly everywhere. It wasn't that Rogers and Parker visited 116 countries. It was that they visited the people of 116 countries. They experienced the economies of those countries, ate the native food-including the grilled worms, and endured the native bureaucracies and absurdities. Some of their troubles made me laugh aloud, while others had me shaking my head in dismay.
But the book also brings hope. In the end, when I set it down, I could only smile.
What makes Rogers' observations and analysis so keen isn't his genius IQ-he never even alludes to that. (I have that information from another source. By the way, he and Mark Benjamin are both in Mensa-maybe traveling is a smart thing to do!). This is a guy who co-founded and ran the Quantum Fund. Over ten years, the portfolio gained more than 4,000 percent at a time when the S&P rose less than 50 percent. This is a ten-year track record, not some flash in the pan stroke of luck. He's got other impressive credentials (e.g., professor of finance and Columbia University Graduate School of Business).
But, there is another factor that plays a big role in making his analysis so accurate. Paige Parker, whose background is different from his, was his partner on that trip. As he chronicled the events and built his analysis, he did so under the watchful eye of someone who wasn't afraid to challenge his views. He had to make sure he got his facts right. And as you read this book, you cannot help but come to the conclusion that he did.
Yet, for all the adventure, all the insight, all the facts and figures, this book provides a deeply personal touch. The writing is at once food for thought and food for the soul. This book is a must read. But, don't ask to borrow my copy-it stays with me.
I want to see the movie, too.
