Wealth & Asset Protection Strategies: A Simple and Effective Guide to Keeping Everything You'Ve Earned

How To Hide Your Money 101.......2003-07-05
The book's small size unfortunately limits it to barely touching upon the many complex, individual topics it addresses. Topics like international trusts, Nevada corporations, LLC's, are all covered, though not in any real depth. It's enough to whet your appetite for more information though, which is probably the main intent of the book, as the author frequently mentions throughout that he provides such services through his own law practice.
While I couldn't expect a book this short to provide an in-depth analysis of each topic, what probably bothers me the most about Sears' writing is the fact that he seems to completely ignore the downsides of using these strategies. In fact, reading this book leaves one with the impression that asset protection strategies are a 100% foolproof strategy for safeguarding your money. They aren't.
While the author touches upon many excellent ideas for protecting your money in general, you are never given enough information to actually implement any of these strategies, nor given a real understanding of their limitations and dangers. Like they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
While I have no doubt that Mr. Sears is excellent at what he does, I definitely would not recommend making any financial decisions based upon information contained within this book.
Lastly, Wealth & Asset Protection Strategies is in desperate need of a proofreader. Since I can't find any information at all on the publisher, I am going to assume that this is some sort of self-published work, anyway.

The Dot.Bomb Survival Guide: Surviving (and Thriving) in the Dot.Com Implosion
Sean Carton Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill Companies ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0071377794 |
Amazon.com
Recess is long over, and it's back to school for failed entrepreneurs. The Dot.Bomb Survival Guide: Surviving (And Thriving) in the Dot.Com Implosion, by branding genius Sean Carton, dissects the '90s to show what worked--and what didn't.Poring ruthlessly over the remains of AllAdvantage, BigWords, and other dot-comedies of errors, he shines light on the mistaken assumptions and dodgy strategies that dragged them down to the landfill of history. But knowing what not to do can't guarantee success, so Carton also examines plenty of healthy companies, including several he was involved with professionally.
What do investors want to see? When is new tech good tech? Has the Internet really changed anything, and how? These questions should be on the minds of every serious start-up developer, and The Dot.Bomb Survival Guide lays out the answers for all those ready to learn from the past. --Rob Lightner
Book Description
Dot-Winners vs. Dot-Loserswhat works, what doesn't, and whyWith more dot-coms going bust every day, new-economy entrepreneurs and managers are scrambling for detailed information on what went wrong with the losers and how they can emulate the winners. DotBomb gives them the answers with a close look at a number of notable dot-com failures, comparing their experiences with those of several prominent dot-com successes.
With the help of candid commentaries by staff members, venture capitalists, industry analysts, and market research, Sean Carton performs postmortems on Priceline, Living.com, PlanetRX, ValueAmerica, and other recent dot-com debacles and identifies the dot-pathologies that led to their demise. He also provides contrasting examples of successful companies that excel in that area, and he extracts powerful lessons on what managers can do to follow their examples.

Dot-Winners vs. Dot-Loserswhat works, what doesn't, and why!Customer Reviews:
What went wrong... but also what went right.......2002-09-05
"Dot.bomb," however, also examines the dotcom enterprises that succeeded, such as eBay, Priceline and our dear old Amazon. What made these ventures an exception is a major thrust of the book -- and perhaps the most informative. It also provides a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel for the reader weary of failure stories.
Since the latest examples in the edition I read were from early 2001, one hopes that a newer edition would bring the dotcom story up to date. How the Internet industry has responded to the recession, corporate scandals and 9/11 are tales that an updated version of "Dot.bomb" ought to cover.
Good, critical look at the big implosion.......2002-02-09
This is an interesting companion to David Kuo's book. With a very similar title, Kuo is funnier and more dramatic, primarily because valueamerica.com was such a huge, single implosion and Kuo, by training, is a writer and, to some degree, a spin doctor. More serious and critical, Carton pulls no punches, examines a lot more companies, and has a more technical, well-grounded understanding the business models (or lack thereof) that created and destroyed the late 1990's version of the new economy. Start with "the greater fool" theory. Carton's book is better for the serious student wanting to see the big business picture.
Carton is methodical and crisp, even dry at times. The graphics of the book, including the font and page layout, could also have been more appealing or reader-friendly. If you're teaching an e-commerce course, as I have, you want to consider Dot.Bomb.

A review of Watches Tell More Than Time.......2003-03-04
Del's book not only provides brief and clear analysis of why objects around us are made the way they are, but gave me a far more complete tool set with which to judge. What I learned will allow me to be a better writer who can now "make sense" out of what I am feeling.
I have not only told my friends about the book, I went out and purchased about a dozen and sent them to fellow writers and editors. And being the cheapskate that I am, this even surprised me.
This is simply a superb book and will be cherished by anyone who really wants to understand how Industrial Design developed
and grew into something that touches us every second of every day
whether we recognize it or not.

What it takes to have a Wow product!.......2003-01-02
The author describes from a neurological and pyschological point of view how you react to a new product the instant you see it. I am talking micro-seconds here. Then, he discusses how you come to like it or reject it (a few microseconds later). This was truly interesting. He relates it back to Information Theory -- yet the book was not about bits and bytes. He describes how various shapes communicate differing amounts of information. Too much results in an over load.
The author presents a simple model to analyze products. To help with this he discusses how he uses semantic difference surveys. I found this material very interesting although I wish that he had included samples of the survey documents. I didn't understand how the prospects visualized and then specified the ideal product to compare your product to.
This is truly a great book but it does requires you to slow down when you read. The author carefully defines his terms - which unfortunately have to deal with cultural abstractions (like 'zeitgeists', 'daimons'). To keep up with the author, you need to understand these terms, as the author defines them.
I will now go back a second time and try to make his framework more permanent in my brain.
The author sleeps and dreams about great design. He has been a great designer (cars) for some time and now teaches out in San Jose.
If you develop new products, or are a CEO of a company, or if you just like design... this is a required book.
I looked at the book at the book store several times and put it back because the abstract terminology turned me off. Later I went and sat down in the book store and read it more slowly. It was then that I realized what a jewell this book is. I'd love to sit in on one of his classes.

China at the Brink: The Political Economy of Reform and Retrenchment in the Post-Mao Era
Peter M. Lichtenstein Manufacturer: Praeger Publishers ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0275940527 |
Book Description
As a Western economist studying and working abroad, Peter M. Lichtenstein witnessed first-hand China's tumultuous cycle of reform and retrenchment in the 1980s. From the early euphoric stage to the last and most brutal episode, Lichtenstein's book describes and explains the economics behind this cycle and ties together the economic, political, and cultural aspects of the reform era. The book also chronicles the achievements, problems, events and political controversies that led up to the Tiananmen Square debacle and the subsequent retrenchment away from the broad goals of reform. Organized chronologically, this work begins by detailing the reasons for the economic reform movement upon the death of Mao in 1976. In the mid-1980s those reforms began to encounter serious difficulties--Lichtenstein explains what these difficulties were and why they arose. He also describes how, in the summer of 1988, the conservative hardliners were able to regain political power from the reformers, setting the stage for what would happen eight months later in Tiananmen Square. Following this is an analysis of the development of the basic positions of the Chinese left and right, and Lichtenstein's first-hand observations of the retrenchment following Tiananmen. Concluding with a retrospective look at the reforms and retrenchment, this work will be of interest to professors and students of political science, international relations, economics, contemporary Asian history, and China in particular. It will also appeal to the intelligent layperson with an interest in current affairs.
