National System of Political Economy: The Systems/the Politics Book 3 and 4 (National System of Political Economy)

Customer Reviews:

Great Book, but very poor publisher.......2004-02-13

List's systems of political economy belong to one of the most underrated classics in the field. What differentiates his work in contrast to all other political economists is that he analyzes economic action from a specifically political angle. Despite Paul Krugman's harsh verdict (in Foreign Affairs, July/August 1994, p.202) against List in his rejoinder to the so called pop-economists: as long as the world is divided into nation-states, international political economy has to analyze both: the logic of markets AND the logic of power among nations.

BUT: the book edition of Dry boones press is terribly bad. The very important author's preface and introduction have been eliminated. I have the impression that they have simply downloaded the internet version of List's National system from ECONLIB and put it between a cover and a back. Horrible, how is it possible that classics can be treated and humilated in this way? A real shame!

Composition teachers throughout the English-speaking world have been pushing this book on their students since it was first published in 1957. Co-author White later revised it, and it remains the most compact and lucid handbook we have for matters of basic principles of composition, grammar, word usage and misusage, and writing style.

Book Description

This is the braille version of the timeless reference book. According to the St. Louis Dispatch, this "excellent book, which should go off to college with every freshman, is recognized as the best book of its kind we have." It should be the ". . . daily companion of anyone who writes for a living and, for that matter, anyone who writes at all" (Greensboro Daily New). "No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume" (The Boston Globe). Two volumes in braille.

Customer Reviews:

A very good tool.......2007-10-17

This book is an excellent tool for those who want to learn in a practical way the essentials of writing. Whether you write for science, art, or any other area of investigation; this book will help you giving tips and showing with detailed examples the most common situations while you write. I recommend the book to those who want writing as a way of expressing their ideas and to those who are not conformists and like to go further in life.

This book is: Easy to read, practical, and helpful.

The Elements of Style.......2007-09-25

The book was in wonderful condition. It arrived in a timely manner. I would buy from you again.

Great guide for writers of all ages.......2007-09-25

My son's teacher recommended this book when he was in middle school. He still refers to it in college as he pursues his writing career. My daughter needed her own copy for school because her brother wouldn't give his up! You really can't go wrong with this book.

Good book........2007-09-07

It is good book, but you might find some styles are repeating with other books. It is good to learn from this author, but I also suggest learn more from other authors, too.

Read it, Then Read It Again.......2007-09-06

This itsy bitsy tome is an ageless classic. I read it for the first time 20 years ago. Despite having never found grammar interesting before, I became hooked on the sharp little lessons. I read it again, to both delight and edification. And I'll read it once more, to remind myself of the rules that make English what it is and to smile at Prof. Strunk, long gone but very much alive in these pugnacious 80 pages. He's somehow managed to boil down the bones of the language and give you the absolute essentials. If you haven't read it, you're in for a treat and a pleasant surprise, especially if you don't care for grammar. This is truly short and sweet.

Book Description

Every English-language writer knows Strunk and White's famous little writing manual, The Elements of Style. Many people between the ages of seventeen and seventy can recite the book's mantra--make every word tell--and still refer to their tattered grade school copy when in need of a hint on how to make a turn of phrase clearer, or a reminder on how to enliven prose with the active voice. Considering that millions of copies have been sold to millions of devotees, you might not think to ask what could enhance this (almost) perfect classic. In fact, the addition of illustrations allows readers to experience the book's contents in a completely new way, making the whole learning experience more colorful and clear, as well as adding a whimsical element that compliments the subtly humorous tone of the prose. The Elements of Style Illustrated will come to be known as the definitive, must-have edition.

Maira Kalman is the offbeat and wildly talented illustrator of twelve children's books, numerous covers for The New Yorker magazine, fabrics for the fashion designers Isaac Mizrahi and Kate Spade, watches and accessories for the Museum of Modern Art, and a mural at the elegant Wavehill estate in Riverdale, among other projects. Her sophisticated and witty images that are yet bright and fanciful have won her a devoted following, especially among young urbanites. Maira Kalman is acknowledged by the E. B. White estate as the single artist trusted to illustrate the revered The Elements of Style.

The Elements of Style Illustrated brings a fresh immediacy to the well-loved, much-valued, and still on-point work that has become an institution. While giving the classic work a jolt of new energy to appeal to contemporary readers, Kalman's illustrations are hemselves timeless, designed to sit alongside the ever-enduring manual for another fifty years and more.

William Strunk and E. B. White's classic writing manual, The Elements of Style, has been enriched to include the vibrant, witty, and instantly recognizable images of Maira Kalman in a beautiful illustrated edition

In her own words: "born. bucolic childhood. culture-stuffed adolescence. played piano. stopped. danced. stopped. wrote. discarded writing. drew. reinstated writing. married Tibor Kalman and collaborated at iconoclastic yet successful design studio. wrote and painted children's books. worried. took up Ping-Pong. relaxed. wrote and painted for many magazines. cofounded the Rubber Band Society. amused. children: two. dog: one."

Of Invaluable Importance to Any Anglophone.......2007-10-01

Simply one of the best guides available on how to write the English language. Forty years ago, acclaimed author E.B. White edited and refurbished his 1918 English book written by Professor William Shrunk. Still in print today, a once dull, outdated textbook has been revamped and updated for the modern era in a colorful, modishly illustrated edition. The techniques and rules for writing are just as fundamental and undying since first comprised in the original addition and just as useful to us today. "Elements of Style" shouldn't be considered a textbook in any sense, that word tends to deter readers; moreover, a simple compilation of basic rules of grammar and composition guidelines that aids everyone from the lifelong journalist to the occasional letter writer. This little, red book contains a cache of rules, definitions, punctuations, and proper expressions condensed into five, clear, user-friendly, concise chapters.

Get to the point. Omit needless words. Don't overwrite. Compose an accurate, concise discourse.

White demonstrates that the beauty of our language, as demonstrated by himself and other classical authors, is that we can all follow the same formalities of one another yet be so individualistic and uncommon in style without sacrificing clarity. While the first half covers simple grammatical rules, the latter half of the five chapters is devoted to rules that will foster each writer's own unique ingenuity. In a rare assurance, this is one of the books that promises to change how you see your own words on paper.

This book should be required of all Amazon reviewers since actually reading the book isn't these days.

great presentation.......2007-09-28

Very clear instruction and easy to accept; it does not insult the reader. This edition's layout is beautiful (especially the covers). The llustrations are of an unexpected style. They may not add to every reader's experience.

Lovely!.......2007-09-28

I'm very pleased that I got the illustrated version of The Elements of Style. The colorful pages make reading the book so much more enjoyable.

Wonderful gift for writers!.......2007-09-10

The illustrated hard cover edition comes has a brilliant red woven hard cover. The illustrations by Maira Kalman complement the text very well. Highly recommended for all the writers in your life.

Concise, relevant, and useful.......2007-06-29

This is a great reference for avoiding the most common errors people make while writing.

This book is good mostly for people who want to improve their writing skills. It doesn't matter too much if they are going to write an email or a fax, because the book covers just some email features.

If you think you do need a guide in writing style and grammar, and you send messages by email frequently, you'd like this book.

Great Primer for those new to e communication.......2000-07-06

I purchased the books for use by my team and they enjoyed using the books to improve the impact of their messages. We communicate daily via email and at times it is the only way we can communicate so as you can imagine, our email has to be precise and informative. I highly recommend this book for those new to e communicating or for those of us who never really knew there were rules... Also a big bonus is there is a section on grammar and how to communicate effectively while maintaing good grammar!

I thought this book would change my life. But I never thought it would also... oops... I forgot my watch.

A Common Sense Down-to-Earth Approach To Time Management.......1999-10-27

I've always considered myself to be a pretty well organized person. My life is full of many projects, both at work and at home. However this book surprised me with many clever and innovative ideas I can directly apply to my daily life to make my many activities go even smoother. The book is very thorough, and covers almost every aspect of a person's daily life where saving Time would be a major benefit. Thank you, Dr. Jager, for writing such a down-to-earth book all of us can use!

Great suggestions, easy to learn and apply in daily life!.......1999-09-21

Jan Yager's Creative Time Management doesn't talk in generalities. If you work or don't work,if you are young or old, you will find her suggestions practical and easy to apply in your daily life. The major bonus in her book is that she is willing to address the concept that our emotional state of being plays a major part in our ability to handle and manage our time appropriately. So few books include this component. I refer back to the book from time to time, (no pun intended), to specific sections to help me make changes in my own life that will benefit better use of my time. As a professional speaker and trainer, I recommend this book to my audiences and class participants as an excellent resource. We all need a guide like this to read and refer to in order to help balance our busy lives.

Well organized, direct, and easy to follow!.......1999-09-18

Without a doubt, this is the best book on time management I have read in a very long time. Dr. Yager's approach to the biggest challenge we all face each day is well organized, direct, and easy to follow.

The book's opening chapter has a self-evaluation test consisting of five questions that will stimulate your brain and open your mind to new ideas for change. You will learn her 7 Principles of Time Management, emotional blocks that keep us from managing our time wisely, a list of bad habits that affect not only you but those around you, and 4 Simple Organizational Guidlines. And that's just the beginning!

Dr. Jager not only identifies time wasters, but gives you the tools to eliminate them. Her techniques are so practical and hands-on that you'll immediately see ways to change your patterns. Her research documents organizational challenges, andshe clearly prescribes ways for you to overcome them.

While other self-improvement books list the ailments and suggest their way to fix the problem, Creative Time Management gives you the permission to help yourself. That's what growth is all about, now, isn't it?

Great time saver for the new millennium.......1999-08-30

As a working mother of a working mother, Creative Time Management for the New Millennium by Dr. Jan Yager is invaluable. The advice about "making productive use of your 'Hidden Time" is worth the price of the book. She writes: "For example, you may use the five minutes you usually spend waiting for the bus, or the half hour waiting in someone's office, to plan, dictate, read, work on your laptop computer, return or receive calls on your cell phone, or just relax and meditate. " She also admits that when her children were young, she forced herself to wake up by 4 am. so she could work uninterrupted until at least 7 am. She advises how to discover your energy highs and lows. There is little doubt that time will be even more difficult to find in the new millennium so this book will certainly help readers make the future less frantic while finding the time to be successful in parenting and in a career.

Book Description

Why does Compaq manufacture personal computers when IBM, Dell, Apple, Gateway, and Hewlett-Packard manufacture and distribute perfectly good PC's? Because Compaq appeals to a specific user with specific preferences and expectations. The same could be said about IBM or any of the others for that matter.

If you are a sales professional, what makes your company's sales force different from those of your competitors? If your people are reading from the same training manuals as your competitors' people, why should customers choose your product line over their product, all other things being equal?

While it may seem there is "...nothing new under the sun." there could be something unique and better at least from YOUR perspective! You may be a manufacturer's representative looking for added input for you and your library or a sales manager needing to provide your veteran and rookie sales force with a fresh approach. "Excuse me..." is as special as you want your sales and your sales force to be. Buy it! Read it! Live it!
