Book Description
The Truth About the National Debt shatters five long-held myths and highlights one reality about what is now a $5 trillion national debt. Drawing on more than 30 years at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, where he served seven presidents, Cavanaugh argues that public debt is not all bad news. Instead, the problem is undisciplined government expenditures-whether financed by debt or taxes. He also outlines the real effects of the debt on future generations, private investment, interest rates, social security, and foreign investment and proposes a redefinition of the federal deficit to restore discipline and confidence in the management of the government's finances.
Customer Reviews:
A must read.......2006-07-12
This is a must read for anyone who wants to know about the national debt and its significance, or as you will find out in the book, its lack thereof.
The only point I disagree with is his argument of the insignificance of foreign debt. I feel this is still a major issue. Also, he tries to go into other aspects of government funding that are problematic, but I found it very difficult to understand.

Book Description
Statistics without Math is not your typical statistics book; nor is it designed to serve as a substitute for conventional statistical texts. Experience with ecology students and researchers has shown that too much mathematical detail diverts attention away from basic logical concepts, resulting in errors in sampling design, data analysis, and comprehension of the ecological literature. Hence, this book starts with real-world observations and explains how statistics may be used as a practical tool to answer questions about them, and to clearly communicate these results. The book targets intermediate-level statistics (given short shrift in most books and courses), and teaches concepts with a minimum of mathematical detail, instead using simple graphs and, where necessary, analogy. This approach, class-tested for many years by the authors, has revolutionized students' ability to understand statistics.

Product Description
This book is designed to give students the confidence to understand theoretically issues like reliability and validity and through calculator and statistical packages such as Microsoft Excel, SPSS, SAS, and EQS. Students are shown that they can easily find reliability and validity measures without mathematics. Once exposed to measurement concepts, research design is the next topic. With this area, the topic of variables are cover-dependent, dependent, moderator, control, suppressor, and intervening. Additionally, the concepts of interval and external validity are discussed, and research designs are covered such as one-group, two-group, multiple treatment, factorial, quasi-experimental, and nested designs. Measures of central tendency and variability are presented, and examples are connected to a calculator and the statistical packages. The general univariate statistics are examined such as t-tests, analysis of variance, simple regression, analysis of covariance, nest analysis of variance, and the univariate and multivariate approaches to repeated measures. Two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures on one factor are covered along with multivariate matched pairs analysis, totally within repeated measures designs, and doubly multivariate repeated measures. Multiple regression, structured coefficients within multiple regression, interaction effects within multiple regression, cross-validation within multiple regression, logistic regression, multivariate regression, multilevel re-gression, factorial analysis of variance and covariance, stepdown analysis, discriminant analysis, exploratory and factor analysis, structural equations modeling, canonical correlation, and loglinear analysis are discussed. Finally, a nonmathematical treatment of psychological measurement, research designs, and statistics is presented.

Basic Psychological Measurement, Research Designs, and Statistics Without Math .......2006-03-13
Basic Psychological Measurement, Research Designs, and Statistics Without Math is designed to give students and researchers the confidence to understand issues like reliability and validity through calculator and statistical packages such as Microsoft Excel, SPSS, SAS, and EQS. This text provides a modern treatment of measurement, research designs, and statistics. In addition, the assumptions of each statistic are discussed along with calculator and computer codes for calculations. This text emphasizes confidence intervals around reliability and validity indices and the testing specific hypotheses for reliability and validity indices, in contrast to the typical null hypothesis of zero. For school situations, this text covers nested designs, both the univariate and multivariate case. Effects sizes are covered in detail along with the computer codes for calculating confidence intervals around effect sizes. Moreover, this text covers 16 major correlations. Finally, this text covers the most common univariate and multivariate statistics, especial the multivariate approaches to repeated measures.

A good book for students who do not like maths.......2007-09-24
It is a good book with clear illustration of the statistics. It begin with simple statistics and then move on to more difficult analysis. Before I get this book, whenever I pick up a book about statistics, I feel fate. Then I close it immediately after reading 1 to 2 pages, and never pick it up again. However, for this particular book, I've read more than half (about 300 pages)and still want to finish it. After you've read one page, you are eager to read another and another. So, I highly recommend this book to undergradaute and postgraduate students.

A Truly Magical World.......2004-04-14
Enter the magical medieval pages of the illuminated manuscripts of the gifted Limbourg brothers and discover a world long gone, but one which seems oddly familiar in a storybook sort of way. The colors (nicely reproduced in this hardback version of the book) will dazzle you - the skies were painted with an ultramarine made from costly lapis lazuli. The compositions, drawn in the pre-perspective days of the 15th century, will delight you. Many of the religious illuminations are moving - the Death of Christ captures the grim darkness into which the world has been cast in tones of grey and brown with only the shining gold halo of Christ piercing the gloom; God in his heavenly lunette above the picture looks sadly down on the scene, brilliant amidst reds, blues, and gold. But it is the pictures of the calendar - a wonderful record of daily life among the rich and the poor alike - that will charm you the most. The Duke feasts, the peasants warm themselves before fires, the plowman tills the soil, the farmers shear the sheep, and the pigs forage for acorns. And rising in the background of each of these magical scenes, in regulation storybook fashion, is a shining white castle. This hardcover version is a beautiful book that you will treasure for years.
The hardback version of this art masterpiece is awesome.......1999-04-07
Having read negative reviews of the cheap, paperback version of this book, I took a deep gulp and sprang for the expensive hardback. This is a case where spending more for the hardback version is more than worth it. The pictures are very large size format, with the gold intact (unlike the paperback version). The quality of the paintings is excellent. The book is beautiful to display, look at and/or study. I have been copying one of the illustrations, and having a great time.I love medieval illustrated books. I have not found another one in this large a format, with such detail. If you are into illuminated manuscripts, you must have this one, there can be no argument. (Hardback version)
Picture Quality is awful.......1998-09-06
The books begins with an introduction, then many images from the Tres Riches Heures, and at the end there is a commentary of the pictures.
The big problem is that the pictures were made in the sixties, they are fuzzy, unsharp, the colors are not vivid and bright, such a very low quality of photocomposition is no more acceptable at the end of the 20th century. It is high time that a newer edition be made available in English, as is already the case in French.
Book Description
Duc de Berry's magical calendar pictures in the "Tres Riches Heures" give a colorful, richly detailed account of the life of peasants and nobles through the changing seasons - the cold, snowy days of winter and the warmth of the open fire, spring with its fresh colors and flowers everywhere, summer with harvesters labouring in the heat, and autumn when the grapes are picked and the seeds sown.
