Book Description

A timely update of a bestselling guide to wills and estate planning

This is a revision of the successful Complete Will Kit, Second Edition.

Numerous revisions reflect current federal and state requirements and tax codes. One completely revised chapter reflects a more contemporaneous estate tax situation.

Book Description

By the mid-1980s, Korea's economic and political situation was becoming volatile. Labor relations were especially contentious. The Strains of Economic Growth, a collaborative research project between the Harvard Institute for International Development and the Korea Development Institute provides an analytic history of the economic causes of the labor unrest and popular discontent of the late 1980s. Set against rapid increases in wages and employment, worker dissatisfaction is traced to patterns of income inequality and to non-pecuniary dimensions of working life, including the suppression of labor organizations. The desire for greater political freedom also played an important role in the unprecedented unrest of this period.

The conclusions of this volume are essential for understanding the labor struggles that continue in Korea today and are highly relevant for policy makers from other emerging economies that wish to benefit from both the successes and failures of Korea's experience.

Great even for veteran writers.......2007-02-10

Donna is a fountain of copywriting and DM knowledge. I've found her to be a great resource--and I've been an advertising writer for almost 30 years. Good stuff here.

Great Book for Direct Marketing.......2000-08-28

This book covers mainly the topics direct mail (mail package, letter, response form ec.). It also covers topics like brochures, print ads and catalogs. But there are also some additional chapters on the radio ads and the internet (aka online media). The later one was highly stimulating and provoked a partial redo of the website I build as part of my work as a centermanager....

This is "must" reading for every aspiring copywriter.......1998-10-23

Write on Target is filled with sound ideas and guidelines for direct marketing creatives. Frankly, I wish I had this information when I was starting out. It definitely belongs in every marketing library and right next to the computer of every copywriter!

An excellent book for anyone who wants to learn copywriting........1998-07-26

Write On Target: The Direct Marketer's Copywriting Handbook by Donna Baier Stein and Floyd Kemske will give you an excellent understanding of what direct marketing copy is and isn't, how to write good copy, and how to tell good copy from bad.

I really liked it because it has lots of sound, practical advice, tips, and checklists. It also has many examples of real campaigns covering all types of direct marketing copy from letters and brochures to the hot topic of writing for online media such as Web sites. Many examples are reproduced from the originals, showing parts of the package with graphics. It always gets my creative juices flowing when I read what the really greats in the industry are writing.

Even though I'm an experienced copywriter, going back for a "refresher course" is always helpful. For the person just starting out or with a couple of years' experience . . . this book is a must! It's also very valuable for anyone who has to hire copywriters, teach cop! ywriting, or approve copy.

Great ideas for inspiring young writers!.......2000-03-25

This book is a must-own for teachers of young children or of beginning writers of any age. I have successfully used the ideas with special-needs children grades k-6, and also in a balanced literacy/guided reading program. The ideas work especially well for including a variety of learning styles, as many of the mini-books lend themselves well to artistic expression, rhyme and repetition, choral reading, and hands-on assembly.Plus, the students are proud of these little handmade books, and start to think of themselves as writers!

Wow.......2004-08-04

This book was sooo helpful to my child. I'm not a teacher, but I didn't feel Amy's school teacher was helping her to learn the writing basics. So, I bought this book for Amy, and she's learned so much from it, and her teacher even commented that she's one of the best writers in the class! I was thrilled, and I owe it all to the authors of this book. So -- thanks :)

Book Description

The growth of global finance since 1960 constitutes one of the most important transformations in social relations during the twentieth century. Using historical, statistical, and graphical techniques, State Institutions, Private Incentives, and Global Capital examines three important aspects of this phenomenal shift in the international political economy. First, Andrew Sobel explores the reawakening of the international financial markets, mapping their extraordinary transformation since the early 1960s and discussing the role of politics in that metamorphosis. The author then offers a fresh understanding of the systematic differences in access for borrowers in this rapidly transforming and expanding global capital pool. He then demonstrates the influence of political factors in producing differential access to the global capital pool. Showing how the character and stability of a country's political system affects investors's decisions to invest in that country, Sobel breaks new ground in understanding the basis for the frequent admonitions by the World Bank and others that a stable political and legal system are essential for states to attract significant foreign investment.

With the growing debate about the effect of financial interdependence on the ability of states to conduct economic policy and indeed to preserve their independence in the face of unprecedented economic linkages, this book will be of interest to political scientists and economists as well as policy makers concerned with the impact of financial globalization and the causes of differentials in access to capital.

Andrew C. Sobel is Assistant Professor of Political Science and Resident Fellow, Center in Political Economy, Washington University, St. Louis. He is the author of Domestic Choices, International Markets: Dismantling National Barriers and Liberalizing Securities Markets.
