India - Alternative Economic Survey, 2003-2004: Liberalization sans Social Justice (Alternative Survey Group)

Book Description

Authored by Indian scholars, journalists, activists and trade union leaders, this volume provides the evidence for how the market-friendly current policies being pursued by successive Indian governments are threatening the socio-economic fabric of the country.

Really the best book for women job-seekers........2007-03-24

I have used this book twice in the past 5 years, and without fail it has given me the advice to maximize my interviewing, job-research, and letter/resume writing skills. This book helped me land my two dream jobs and I recommend it enthusiastically for everyone who's on the job hunt.

Thank you ladies!

Good Book.......2006-03-18

A great read for the people who need a help with their job search.

Makes everything click.......2006-02-06

This book isn't perfect, but I still give it five stars because its unique strengths outweigh its weaknesses. Being a recent graduate, I've read a plethora of job advice books, but this one just made everything come together. Obviously, given its title, it's written with a slant towards women with an eye towards particular challenges we face. Their advice is frank, clear and very helpful, and they suggest lots of great ideas for distinguishing your resume, advancing networking, basically standing out in the pack. They also include a lot of resources in the back, more so than other books I've read.

However, some of the sections are a little weak. I've read better advice about how to answer the dreaded, "Tell me a little about yourself;" how to answer the salary expectation question, how to negotiate, etc. But on the whole I think this book is strong enough to be used as a main resource with some supplemental advice (since relying on one book would be your first mistake).

Great Advice!.......2005-01-25

I often see Tory Johnson on ABC's "Good Morning America" and she provides excellent advice that always gives me hope about the job search process. This book does the same. Everyone should own it.

For the younger job hunter.......2005-01-22

Written for the younger job-hunter, although certainly comprehensive enough to help everybody, Women for Hire would make a great gift for new grads and young professionals on the job hunt. The book includes loads of examples of cover letters, resumes, business cards, and even appropriate responses for interview questions.

Customer Reviews:

Good book.......2005-09-03

Detailed. Gave a good overview and examples of XHTML and the different versions used. I like the design tips and extra projects.

Excellent.......2005-09-03

I used this book for my XHTML class and the exercises were fantastic. Conformed with HTML 4 and XHTML 1.1 standards, and showed validation for all "flavors".

Book Description

This book is designed to provide an easy-to-follow blueprint for small high-technology businesses to prepare technical and cost proposals in response to solicitations from the SBIR Program and other research and development programs. The blueprint accents the many unique requirements attendant to doing business with the Federal Government. The technical proposal preparation requirements for the work plan and the accounting procedures shown in this book are frequently required as a condition of contract work.

Customer Reviews:

Dr. Zhang's insight.......2000-06-15

The contracts were from the Air Force, Department of transportation and the Wright Laboratories.

Book Description

Financial advisers say that practice management help -- particularly with streamlining office operations -- is their greatest single need. Their margins are under pressure. Their once-flush clients are scrutinizing fees. They must slash costs, do more with less, and find time -- somehow -- to spend with the people they advise. Now, two leading financial planners and columnists deliver the help planners have been begging for.

This book is a nontechnical trove of technology, clever workarounds, and procedural efficiencies tailored to help planners move toward a paperless office, while still complying with SEC record-keeping requirements. The authors show planners how to reduce the amount of paperwork in their office by 99 percent and find anything they need in one minute or less by adapting innovative software tools and shifting from on-site employees to remote assistants.

Customer Reviews:

Too Basic and Outdated.......2007-03-30

While I'm sure this book was great when it came out over 5-years ago. Now the book is very out of date and not very usefull. David Drucker should pull this book from the shelfs and give it a major update.

Not just for the professionals -- the customers can learn, too.......2007-01-13

I don't manage money for "outsiders", but I have a lot of paperwork to deal with just taking care of what I do for my "house accounts", and this book has given me great suggestions on how to minimize the paperwork while making it possible for me to actually find the receipts, contracts, account statements, and the like. It's a marvelous fount of information for the consumer of financial advice as well as for those who spend their day dispensing advice.

Virtual Office Tools review.......2005-04-11

Dave Drucker and Joel Bruckenstein wrote a superb practical guide on running and growing a virtual office for financial planning practices. If you ever wondered about how to have more time for your family or personal life pursuits, asked how you could serve your clients better, or add increasingly higher profits in declining or flat markets, this practical guide, written by practicing financial advisors can do more for you than any professional designation after your name. For example, the ability of a virtual assistant a 1000 miles away to annote and populate a scanned document such as a brokerage application with only client specific information, obtain signatures, electronically copy and deliver forms to a brokerage within a few days saves financial planners like me time, money and frustration in dealing with paper document management. With the SEC stamp of approval, there is simply no better way to track and manage docuements. It is like moving from the automobile to the airplane. Leave the traffic jams behind and take your practice to a whole new level with this must-read guidebook.

A Must Read.......2001-03-08

One of the keys to successful trading is recognizing that the market is not a combatant. It is not a bloodstained arena, a boxing ring, a firefight, or even a physical thing. This book also helped me confirm something I have always suspected: trading should be easy. This is to say, the journey is hard and grueling, but once you get there the sense of conflict and adversity should be gone. Before-During and After-Hours. Congratulations!

Maximizing the trader's state of mind is the key to success.......2001-03-08

Conflicts, contradictions and paradoxes in thinking can spell disaster for even a highly motivated, astute and well grounded trader. Through simple exercises, traders will learn how to think in terms of probabilities, and adopt the specific beliefs necessary to developing a winner's mindset. After-Hours and More!

Aspiring traders can't afford to be without this book!.......2001-03-08

An excellent book on after-hour trading and technical analysis that cuts through all the hype surrounding this subject. Save yourself a lot of money and read this book BEFORE you make your mistakes!

Don't waste your time with this book!!!!.......2001-02-18

Save your money, unless you don't know that you can still make trades before and after the normal, 9:30 am to 4:00 pm, stock market hours of operation.

This book in my opinion doesn't do much other than to explain, you can trade after hours if you choose a broker that allows you access to the ECN's which operate longer hours then the normal market times. They fill the rest of the book with explanations of charting, and other technical analysis, and there are many other books that do that much better. I found nothing on techniques of trading after hours, which this book implies will make easy.

I would sell this book used, but my ethics prevent me from hoisting this on you.

Don't let the title fool you........2000-11-09

After-Hours Trading Made Easy goes way beyond after-hours trading. It is not just a after-hours trading manual but a true stock market primer.

Chapter 10 alone is worth the price of the book. It includes Duarte's Super Seven Market Forecaster, a proprietary buy/sell indicator. If the surest way to make money is to invest in the market the second must be not to loose principle. The tables tell the tale, this indicator keeps investors from going against the market.

Book Description

In November of 1891, at the age of twenty-five, John MacDonald Blackstock Hawley arrived in Fort Worth, Texas. A civil engineer from Minnesota, Hawley "hung out his shingle" in 1894 and began a tradition of engineering in Texas that his successors in the firm of Freese and Nichols have continued for one hundred years. This history of Freese and Nichols focuses on the firm's contributions, design innovations, and "firsts" in water supply, water treatment, and wastewater engineering; transportation design for roads, bridges, and airports; city and regional planning; environmental science; and general civil and environmental engineering. A personal as well as professional account, A Century in the Works offers anecdotes about John Hawley's battle-ax punch and eccentric scientific experiments, Simon Freese's penchant for practical jokes, and Marvin Nichols's "water fights" and genealogical shakeups of his family tree. The Freese and Nichols story will interest urban and environmental historians, professional engineers, and those working in related fields of hydraulic engineering, municipal and industrial water and sanitary systems, water quality, dam safety, waste management, transportation systems, aviation facilities, and urban development. The student of Texas history will find much of interest here as well. In many ways, the history of Freese and Nichols parallels that of the state for the past one hundred years. The firm has had a pivotal role in developing Texas water resources since Hawley arrived in the state. And it will be the rare Texas reader who has never gone boating or picnicking at one of the over a hundred Texas lakes engineered by the firm in the intervening century.
