This unique account offers students and scholars a comprehensive and considered overview of the way in which the world is governed.

Key content include:

Global Governance is the ideal introduction to the key theories and issues behind one of the most significant emerging areas in world politics.
>" typo on p321 is an extremely bad demonstration of this. It seems to have missed one last cycle of proof-reading and editorial fix-ups before it went to press.
But onto the contents... the authors have really taken on a huge task in trying to document the Oracle PL/SQL world and the java world in one book. Since it doesn't assume the reader knows either world in depth all the examples and comments must be kept simple and therefore are of limited use. It starts off with an overview of each topic, and builds on this very slowly. Chapter 20 "Using Oracle Replication to Build Distributed Systems" should be removed completely. This is a very complex topic and the chapter only discusses Read-only snapshot views. No mention of Advance Replication, or the problems these forms of replication can cause in a database. Barely touching on these topics in this way is worse than not including this chapter at all.
The scope of what this book tries to cover is so large, but it still feels as though it has been filled out to make it fat and expensive. The 1000+ pages are paded out with the badly laid out source code of trivial examples. This book is at best an introduction on how Java relates with Oracle databases, I certainly don't think it is value for money. I advise searching for a better option in order to learn how best to interface these 2 worlds.
Disappointed.......2001-08-29
It is clear that a lot of work went into this book, however, inspite of the large number of pages in the book, it is not very useful. Maybe about 10% of the book has some good tips but the rest is simply out of Oracle education courses. I wish the authors had given some real-world example instead of showing some simple techniques that are fun to know but not really useful on a daily basis.
Oracle 8i and Java: From Client Server to E-Commerce.......2001-08-14
Excellent book for the beginner to the advanced. Content covers everything you need to know about the Oracle Java environment. Great easy to follow examples that reflect real world solutions.
I thoroughly recommend this book to any who wants to further their knowledge in the Oracle-Java world.
A superb reference guide.

In my experience, the most difficult part of a job search is staying organized and following a logical course of action.
The Foolproof Job-Search Workbook is an active workbook with tips, exercises, and information to help job seekers define their abilities and interests and prepare for the search, the interviews, and jobs that work. Plus, if you are considering a career change, this workbook will help you inventory your skills and talents and point yourself in the right direction. Go for it!

Gives you the Tools to go out and Get a job.......2004-04-08
I did a career workshop with the author, and it was very helpful and inspiring. This was just before Enron and the bursting of the Internet bubble, and he implored us NOT to accept stock option plans because he knew what was coming.
When people think of searching for a job, they think of things like the newspaper ads, monster.com and other internet sites, or scanning around the community for help wanted signs. This is a PASSIVE approach to a job search. This workbook is an active approach, designed first to help you build a specialized resume and target a job that plays to your strengths and abilities.
70%-85% of all jobs that change hands are never advertised. By some of the easy techniques in this workbook, you can learn to network (talk to people) and learn about possible opportunities. It even includes help with the interview (Always walk in the door FOUR MINUTES early, no earlier or later) and even how to negotiate a salary.
Hey, it's hard work getting a job. It's like, well,...a job. The book guarantees that if you fill the book out and do what it says, you will get job offers. I would recommend this book to anybody interested in a job-search.
A basically helpful book.......2001-07-03
I reviewed this book in the annotated bibliograhy of Learning A Living; A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding A Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia. I was impressed with it. This is what I said;
Covers the entire job search process from setting up your home office to negotiating salary. This book provides mnany forms and worksheets. Forms include over 50 already-printed index cards for each person you contact, a pre-interview worksheet that may help you structure your research, a daily plan, and a "Sunday Night Scorecard" that enables you to track your progress. Some of the forms use small print. You'll need a photocopier to get copies. On the other hand, this system would work for a person who has sufficient reading and writing skills to use it and who needs structure. The book is aimed a full-time job seekers from entry to mid-level.

Customer Reviews:
Over priced and poorly edited.......2001-10-12
I'm using this book as a text for a local class in financial planning math. The book has many typos and inconsistencies. Some look to be careless editing between the first and second edition. There are also major inconsistencies between chapters, which are prepared by different individuals. For example, the first chapter gives instructions for several calculators, including the HP-12c, which our class focuses on. Later chapters use different calculators. There are typos and errors in some of the problems.
The book doesn't have a glossary or index.
