It's Legal but It Ain't Right: Harmful Social Consequences of Legal Industries (Evolving Values for a Capitalist World)

Liberal Garbage.......2007-05-17

I saw this book in a book store one day and did some light reading. If I could give it less than one star I would. Our system is not perfect. It never was intended to be. The writers of this atrocity and those who think in similar manners, would be the first victims (professional victims) in the world they envision. Talk about harmful social consequences. I guess it is a popular topic for the Volvo driving Latte sipping crowd.

Book Description

The questions in this book...are different from the exam..........2000-05-17

....There's a modern version of this book (the one with rainbowcolors). I took five out of the six tests...and every time I took a test...it would lower my esteem A LOT! So if you have a high esteem....I would get this book...otherwise don't get it at all. The multiple choice questions are WAY HARDER than the ones in the ap exam ~ so...I guess it was good practice (but I felt like I wasted my time...so this book is NOT RECOMENDED for last minute studying). And the free response questions...are NOTHING like the ap exam (the one in the REA seems to be easier). I believe there are better books out there. I would recomend the Barron's AP Chemistry book (warning: this book is like another text book...so if you have a very good background..then you probably don't even need this book). Finally I really recomend EVERYONE to get the Princeton Review book. The book contains the majority of the information that is included in the AP Chemistry exam. The book is also presented in an UNINTIMIDATING format...and you'll be able to review the whole course in 3 hours or less if you use the book efficiently. ....

It was a very poor review of Chemistry concepts.......1999-05-19

First, The book had a lot of errors. Second, the tests in this book ( although there are 6 of them) are much easier than the AP Exam and it excludes a lot of concepts that the actual AP exam stresses. So I would stay away from this book.

Stay away from this very poor book........1999-05-17

Do not buy this book. It's explanations are poor, it has way too many typos, and it doesn't have real AP tests. I thought it would be nice having solutions to problems to work from, but they were no good.

Go buy a different book!.......1999-01-27

Our school ordered tens of copies of this book for our AP Chem class, and it wasn't helpful at all! First, the tests weren't like the AP Exam. Second, the book covered topics not in any of the AP guidelines, e.g. calculus-based chemistry/physics. Please, why waste your precious money and time with this book? I'm told that this is not uncommon for books from this publisher, so I'd avoid them.

Major disapointment.......2005-02-12

This book was required for the course that I took, and a major disapointment. Number one is content - far too theoretical and academic to be useful for a small business owner. If you go to school to get a degree and you do not require much usefulness from what you learn, then you may like this book. If you look for relevance and applicability, look elsewhere. Number two is price - on the day publishers of college textbooks acquire some ethical principles and stop charging $85 for a book that has two hundred pages and costs $3 to print, and the student has no other choice than buy it, we will live in a better world. Until then, I urge instructors to select books from publishers who do not try to goldmine students.

Leveraging Digital Technologies for Marketing Managers.......2004-04-21

When I was in b-school I really learned to like well-written cases. Of course they aren't real life, but they do serve to illustrate certain points in a way that requires creative interpretation and solution rather than simple problem solving. Prof. Glen Urban does a fine job of pairing up really interesting chapters on the issues of marketing in the digital age with cases that focus in on the points he is trying to make.

This is NOT a book on building a web business or developing a web strategy for your business. Rather, it is a book for Marketing Managers to help them think through the implications for their efforts in the age of the Internet. Prof. Urban focuses on something he calls a Trust relationship, which involves giving the customer loads of information, innovation, and choice. He compares that to the standard low-price relationship he calls Push marketing. All of this culminates in the chapter and case on Citibank's online efforts.

It isn't required that you agree with every point the author makes to derive a lot of benefit from the book. I think it would make a very nice text for a marketing course that focuses on the implications of the web, Internet, and computers for segmenting the market, product positioning, product introduction, communicating with customers, pricing and distribution channel, and the idea of a Trust Relationship with customers. All good stuff that needs to be thought about.

Kawari, which means "change" in Japanese, is a fitting (albeit understated) way to describe the far-reaching pecuniary and societal metamorphosis now underway in that country. Milton Ezrati, an international asset manager as well as an expert on Japan's finance, business, and politics, believes this extensive shift eventually will have wide-ranging effects around the globe. But unlike similarly dramatic upheavals in the 19th century and after World War II that stemmed largely from external threats to Japanese security, Ezrati contends, "this one will come from the more impersonal forces of her maturing economy, the globalization of economic and financial arrangements, and the rapid and relentless aging of her population." Japan will subsequently "gain stature on the world stage," he suggests, and "go from the nation that owned much but influenced little, to a nation that owns even more and influences a great deal."

In Kawari: How Japan's Economic and Cultural Transformation Will Alter the Balance of Power Among Nations, Ezrati fully examines this ongoing evolution from a Japanese perspective and explores the myriad ways that commercial affairs, government operations, and the population itself will likely be reshaped as the nation and surrounding region pull out of their current financial crisis. --Howard Rothman

Book Description

An insider's look at today's Japan, as history transforms it from an insular commercial giant into a nation among nations, with renewed military, diplomatic, and financial powers

At the dawn of the new millennium, Japan is once again undergoing radical change, just as it did when it opened its doors to trade in the nineteenth century or rose from the ashes of World War II. Today's political, financial, and economic crises, however, reflect a confluence of trends that are proving that its current model for growth, a success for half a century, is unsustainable. In Kawari (which means "change" in Japanese), Milton Ezrati paints a rich, multi-dimensional, and provocative picture of Japan in transition. Analyzing economic, social, political, demographic, and cultural trends, Ezrati argues that Japan is poised to recover from its current crises, liberalize its trade policies, and evolve into a major diplomatic and military power-but not without profound consequences for its people and for the world at large.

Customer Reviews:

Ezrati's a "rattling read".......2000-09-15

Ezrati's first book was a surprise to me, but after reading it, I found that I was intrigued about a subject I never gave much thought to; Japanese socioeconomic status. This is now my current field of fascination, and I must say that "Kawari" is one of the more enlightening books on the subject.

An Essay in Modern Political Economy.......2000-06-15

A sea change in demographics not seen since the end of the Second World War looms over the industrialised world. Every member of the OECD expects the ratio of workers to dependents to fall over the next fifty years, but none anticipates a disaster like Japan's: within a generation, Japan will fall from seven wage-earners per dependent to less than two. Needless to say, this kind of change cannot hope but have profound implications for Japan's culture, national politics, macro- and micro-economic climate, trade and military ties abroad, and her social democracy in general. We can anticipate a revolution in Japanese society and role in the world not seen since 1945.

This is the theme of Mr. Ezrati's book, and an ambitious theme it is. Most authors would not be able to cover such a vast and profound topic without lapsing into either hyperbole or tedium, yet Mr. Ezrati manages to lead the reader through his argument with grace, aplomb, and style. He interposes hard facts and rigourous analysis with illuminating and entertaining anecdotes to offer a work that will prove useful to novices and experts alike. Ezrati never loses sight of his thesis and, though the sheer volume of knowledge that he brings to the discussion may seem dizzying, carefully guides the reader through his subtle logic to the startling conclusion. Well on its way to becoming required reading at my institution for all politics and economics students and faculty, Ezrati's Kawari is highly recommended for businessmen, academics, students, and amateurs with an interest, not only in Japan, but in the shape of geopolitics in the coming century.

Metamorphosis.......1999-11-23

Faced with economic difficulties and a rapidly growing retired population, Japan will have to undergo fundamental change, metamorphosis, in the near future. In a clear and practical writing style the author guides through the recent troubles of the Japanse system of a state-coordinated economy and the challenges imposed by demographic changes. In order to prevent decline, Japan must transform from a center of manufacturing to a "headquarter nation" helping to organise the deleloping Asian economies. This requires the rather isolationist country to reestablish its diplomatic and military presence in global politics. Brilliantly sharp analysis combined with real life anecdotes make this book a pleasure to read. It conveys an intuitive understanding of the Japanese way and its powerful implications for Asia and beyond. A must for anyone interested in global trends of economic and political power.
