Notes and Recollections is, in part, an autobiography, a purely intellectual one written at the conclusion of Ludwig von Mises' European career. It was written in 1940 upon his arrival in the United States. Unlike many other autobiographies that dwell on the writer's background and family relations, this book hinges on Mises' intellectual development, and his role in the realm of social and economic thought. Disappointed by the intellectual decline and despairing of the future of European civilization, he penned his memoirs in sadness and bitterness. They are a splendid record of a farsighted observer of the darkness that had descended over Europe. 188 pages.
Book Description
The classic survival guide to one of the toughest academic challenges you'll ever face—first - year law… Slaying the Law School Dragon Second Edition First-year law classes are notoriously competitive and the pressure to excel is intense. Yet, each year, nearly 50,000 students willingly subject themselves to that ordeal. Written by a graduate of New York University Law School who went on to become a California Deputy Attorney General, Slaying the Law School Dragon gives law students precisely the brand of no-nonsense, practical advice they need to overcome the obstacles and pitfalls that can trip them up in their first year. While preparing students for all the intellectual rigors of law school, this witty, at times irreverent guide also steels them against the emotional demands placed on first-year students by professors' attempts to intimidate and appraise them. In Slaying the Law School Dragon, readers will find invaluable tips on how to prepare in advance of the first day of classes; how to study effectively for class; how to prepare for exams; how to put together a brief; how to compose an argument; as well as overview chapters on first-year law courses. Offering the kinds of insights and advice that most students learn the hard way, Slaying the Law School Dragon gives students an indispensable competitive edge.

Informative - but in a different way........2002-02-02
Let me begin this stellar review by noting: if you are looking for a book that gives you step-by-step advice and ideas on how to get through law school successfully, step-by-step then DO NOT buy this book. Go out and buy "Law School Confidential" - which will give you the low down on everything.
HOWEVER, if you've already bought your step-by-step books, but would like to get the big picture on law school, law practice and the history of law...BUY THIS BOOK. I've already done the shopping and read the books that are informative and quick. But in the back of my mind, fresh with the knowledge of how hard I'm going to work my first year, I've been wondering if I got the interest to go at this whole-heartedly (or do I just want to make money?) Call me a dork, but I loved the attention this author placed on the history of law, coming from the Common Law of England and citing cute little stories about punishing lawyers for writing too long of briefs or knights jousting to settle a case. Roth gives great attention to the extra-mile on how to go about legal research, studying for the bar and life after law school. I admit he doesn't dwell much on how to study, but rather gives a summary on each first year subject, he mentioned NOTHING on the Law Review, but suggests getting practice on writing briefs by involving yourself in Moot Court, and he has one chapter with the misleading title of "How to Study for Exams" although he pretty much talks about the Bar. And I'm not sure that you study the same for the Bar as for exams.
But at the risk of sounding uppity, I feel if you cannot appreciate the insight, advice and information that this book has to offer - then you don't have a genuine interest in law itself. I was hesistant about this book after reading everyone else's ... review - BUT AM NOW VERY GLAD THAT I BOUGHT IT. This makes me more excited about law school than any other book I read (which usually made me scared to death) And this book does offer some little tidbits and know-how of what to do when beginning law school - provided you are devoted enough to your studies to do this. This book goes beyond 'going to law school - here's how to do well and get a high paying job at a big firm and buy a yacht and a million dollar home', this book is talking about pure interest people, and devotion to your work. If you aren't willing to put forth such effort as he suggests than I question if you heart is in it. But hey, your heart doesn't have to be into Law in order to excel at it, it's just kinda nice to have happen.
Useful and Informative.......2000-07-10
This book was right on the money when it came to what I should expect from my first year of law school. If you are disciplined and willing to make the effort to succeed, then the tips that the book gives will prove very useful. If you are not willing to make the efort, then do not buy the book because you will need more than a simple book to do well in school.
This book provides very few useful tips.......1999-04-11
The law school I attend suggested books to read before attending the first day of class. This wasn't one of them. I now know why.
The book provides very few (and I mean few) useful tips for first year. The tips it does provide are pretty useless. You will have enough to do in law school without attempting the strategies he suggests. I'll give you four tips if you are attending law school in the near future (for free): 1)Buy study guides geared to the text the teacher uses(emanuel's, blonde's, etc.) 2)Get into a good study group 3)Study 4)Get outlines from second years 5)Don't buy this book.
Excellent summary of what to expect in law school........1998-12-09
I enjoyed the presentation of topics in the book. It includes some helpful tips on how to prepare for a rigorous course of classes.
To each, their own.......1998-06-11
Before leaving for law school, I thought it was necessary to check out every "surving your first year" book on the market(By the way there are a million). After completing my first year, I have come to the conclusion that none of them give you a real picture of the first year. The suggestions offered by this book and many others may work for a discreet few but every law school experience is unique. It may be far more helpful to talk to other law students about thier first year. If you are considering law school, and feel you must buy something to calm your nerves, then this book is appropriate. However, because you are considering law school, my guess is you already know how to succeed.

Book Description
Australia's Internet was born in June 1989 —when the global Internet had barely 100,000 hosts connected —at the end of a 56-Kbps satellite link from Hawaii. Ever since, it has been developing under a peculiar set of local conditions and limiting circumstances: Demand for overseas content, primarily from the United States, has dominated the planning and purchasing considerations of service providers; Australia and New Zealand Internet capacity has survived on limited bandwidth, particularly with direct connectivity to the U.S. West Coast, supplemented by satellite download capacity; At the end of mostly long thin links, Australasia's Internet segments have to date had no role in international transit traffic; and Very little commercial peering has taken place.

Somewhat Useful, but Disappointing.......2000-04-28
This book is somewhat useful, but I found it disappointing and I am returning it. It is comprised of mostly forms and blank pages to write notes etc. I can but a notepad for that! Some hints are helpful, but this is not the book for me.
Excellant help when you need it most!.......1999-12-31
Thanks to Diane Warner's book, my husband and I were able to have a wonderful wedding. She covers everything you need to consider. It helped me to stay organized, keep my sanity intact and we were still able to make the house payments. I can't thank her enough!
very good advice on cost saving ideas.......1999-09-28
Diane Warner has been there and done that. She has alternative tips for ways to have a dream wedding without going into Ch. 11. Her ideas don't seem "chintzy." According to Warner there is a whole universe of talented friends out there, from florists to photographers to musicians. If you like her book, enjoy NOTES FROM THE M.O.B. (mother of the Bride) by Sherri Goodall, great ideas and humor from the POV of the mother of the bride.

Stay Organized For LIFE with The Beverly Hills Organizer TM.......1997-08-23
I, as well as many others, see NO Fun in getting organized. Although I have been "at times" and felt the joy of being able to find items within a moment's notice, I've always fallen backa to my old pack rat ways. Company comes over; friends drop by and my place is in a constant state of FLUX & Chaos. Then I had seen Ms. Koopersmith as a SpokesPerson on QVC, the Shopping Channel (in May of 97, I believe) & was immediately hooked by her charisma, poise & confidence as she showed one & all - millions of shoppers, about how a person, as myself, can get organized. She was repping a product line at that time, but I found out about her Book & accompanying Video a few weeks later; ordered both & now, every day make it a Passion to stay organized. The Book is my new Outline to Life as I analyze what she is attempting to do. And, yes, it has given me proven, positive results already. People have stopped in; friends have unexpected dropped by & they do not have to crawl over mountains of paper or boxes that seem to have "no home." If there is one book, I now highly recommend to everyone - whether it's for a young person in their formative years (needing to know how to be an Organized Individual) OR a college student going away from home for the first time & thrown into the throngs of a tight, dormitory cubicle, it's to read & DO as Linda says. Don't do as I do - DO as the Professional, The Beverly Hills Organizer says. Linda has a 30 Second Rule that is Golden in my Book (pun intended). It reads as: IF you take it out; put it back. Life couldn't get any simple than that. My environment couldn't look any better once I abide by that Philosophy.
Many of the Pages have listings and places where I can check items off. This is very convenient. It's evidently PC-generated and makes for very easy reading & understanding. Ms. Koopersmith tackles IT all. I know I will be buying many of these Books as the Holidays roll in. I want to be organized and this is the only way via the Methods presented by The Beverly Hills Organizer, Ms. Linda Koopersmith, in which I can make a clear-cut & clean sweep as we all collectively enter Century 21!
She knows how to do it & I commend her for taking the time to help others who have no idea on how to tackle this on-going Situation - Situation: Clutter! Three Cheers & 3 Stars for The Book that totally changed my life. In due time, since my home, studio & business are in better working order, I will then have the time to read MORE Amazon.com Books - indeed opening up more doors of opportunity for me. Those which had been closed since I was too busy trying to sort thru piles of papers, files & who knows what!
In final summary, "I did not know Organizing could be SO much fun & it's actually good for you!" Koopersmith puts The ZING into OrganiZING. Who could ask for more!
