The best applied econometric book.......2003-03-20
This is simply the best.
Many books have excellent theory, but no real cases for study and test. Hayashi?s book, for example, try to combine theory and empirical exercises, but I think is a far better approach take a good theory book and a good applied-empirical book. The best option for the theory is a polemic debate but the best option for the applied econometric book is not, because you have this one.
Enjoy it.

A great econometric resource........2000-04-29
I think this is an excelent econometric book. At the beginning of every chapter, you can find excelent case-examples describing the econometric tools you are about to study. However, I think it is recomendable to complete some statistics issues and topics with some other books like Kmenta's "Elements of Econometris" or Johnston & DiNardo, since Mr. Berndt is mainly focused in real world applications.
Book Description
Bob Hawke did it, Winston Churchill did it to the limit, Maggie Tabberer does it, Michael Jordan does it and manages it with supreme elegance, Tiger Woods is now acquiring it, and it comes out of Oprah Winfrey's pores. Jana Wendt still does it, Ray Martin could do it if he expresses a tad more emotion, and Richard Branson does it on a good day///'It' is known as charisma and the effect can be profound.
In The Charisma Effect, Des Guilfoyle guides the reader through techniques and models that have been shown to be key ingredients in winning the hearts and minds of individuals and groups.
These techniques can change the way people respond to speakers, dramatically improve the retention of information and are applicable across a broad range of communication contexts-from one-to-one, to mass audiences.
In easy-to-understand language (and drawing on the reader's own imagination and experiences), The Charisma Effect demystifies the concepts of form, content structure, modes of delivery and self-design and presents them as a set of learnable behaviours.

Charisma Basics.......2007-08-16
Thankfully, this book does not include any of the get-rich-and-happy-quick nonsense which is so prevalent these days. It illustrates the fundamentals of being a person worthy of following, example conversations, and techniques for honing communication. The book also contains several exercises to help you apply its concepts to your personality. The book is dotted with lists of important values and lists of powerful words.
Quite recommedable for desirable interaction.......2006-01-23
Personally I like these sort of books that provide desirable guidelines to deal with the various situations that we should face as a human beng. My preference and enjoying this book shuld be derived from my disposition which is approximate to introverted side. This book also overthrow my myth that charisma and speech ability is genetically innated and confine to specific groups of people who tend to show off. Since many people around the world experience caused by psychological conflict because of matters of communication, it is a truly recommendable one to read. It's not only prevent troublesome event between person or group, but also gratify life of communication.
Tons of insightful information.......2004-02-18
If you compare books on interpersonal development, most of them reiterate the same basic points with little new innovation. It's like every author tries to re-write "How to Win Friend's and Influence People" with their own personal spin and a few new insights, and then try to pass it off as an informative piece of work. This book is not like that.
"The Charisma Effect" is filled with new content that I haven't seen in other books, so much so that I am now re-reading it, this time taking notes. It seems as if the author took the time to do alot of his own research rather than simply reiterate what others have said or simply rely on anecdotal experience.
The book dispenses alot of information, so I would recommend a person read "How to Win Friends" first as a primer, and then follow up with this book.
A must have !.......2003-10-21
I had been looking for a book like this for a long time, I finally fount it, it tells you that you can have that so much desired Charisma, you don't have to be born with it, this is so important if you are a Sales person, there are lots of techniques that will help you sell what you want or to persuade people. It combines a little of neurolinguistic (anchors) and that theory that there are 3 kinds of people: visual, auditive and kinesthatic... so interesting. The book is worth every dollar you spend.
This Book Fills An Important Knowledge Gap.......2003-06-17
The thing that really amazes me about this book after having read it is that it successfully challenges the myth that a person 'has' charisma - bad luck for those who don't! The central argument that people 'do' charisma was what first attracted me to it.
It's refreshing to know that if a person has the "content", the life experience, a moderate amount of intelligence, and can discover the uniqueness of their personality (through the exercises in the book), then charismatic performance is a real possibility.
I have done a number of the exercises in the book to very good effect. I found the exercises particularly helpful in three ways: 1) giving me some structures to successfully build my content around, 2)finding the right frames to wrap my message around, and 3) an unbelievable array of language techniques to use when creating the main messages. I have used the ideas to make board presentations and manage change within my organisation. I am literally astounded at how these techniques have smoothed what could have been very difficult persuasion situations.
Perhaps the most important part of the book for me is the sections on finding a mission and life passion. I completed these exercises and I have to say they have made a very substantial impact on me.
I thoroughly recommend this book. It's the first one I have found that really drills down into the actions one takes to make a difference. Most of the other titles I've read are too general and haven't gone into specifics. This one actually shows you what to do!
Book Description
Press covergae of the sex trade in Thailand routinely consists of ill-informed, moralising and sensationalist denunciations of the industry. Through the words of sex workers and their clients, acclaimed journalist Jeremy Seabrook reconsiders the popular conception of the sex industry and explores the complex relationship between sex and tourism. In doing so he presents an objective, unmoralizing, and sensitive view of the industry. Travels in the Skin Trade is now reissued with a new Preface.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent book.......2005-01-13
This is an excellent book and as real as it gets. Highly recommended. I have read the book several times. It really helps you understand why so many predatory low lives wind up in Thailand chasing prostitutes. It really is very interesting.
Not much new here.......2001-12-17
This volume is interchangeable with any number of of other sociological tomes. The author tries to depict a cross section of aging customers, some human slaves working in debt bondage after being sold (often by their parents) to a brothel.some of the helping organizations-but it doesn't hold together very well as a book unless you have been living on another planet of late. The inclusion of sex in the title is somewhat misleading as this could just as easily be about poor Pakistanis in slavery to brick kilns.
this book is good.......2001-04-14
this book is very informative and blows the lid off the illusion of paradise that thailand is perceived by many to be. the real truth of the relationships between the prostitutes and the "farangs" is exposed in detail. if you want to know why men seek out these prostitutes, how long the relationships last, why the prostitutes treat the johns as they do, and if you want to understand the miscommunication and false feelings that go on between john and prostitute, this is the book to read. the harsh reality of thailand is exposed.
A sensitive, revealing look at the seamier side of tourism.......1998-02-23
Studs Terkel-style, Seabrook presents interviews, recorded and transcribed, with both sex workers and their mostly male clients in Bangkok, Thailand. This powerful volume peruses the commodification of sexuality, the sex trade, through the eyes and voices of the men who tramp the sex markets--the bars and brothels--and the women, men and children who service them. Also, addressed are a variety of related topics, including the global economy and developing countries, sociocultural costs of economic development, organized sex tours and agencies, human rights, children's rights, and HIV / AIDS. A highly readable travelogue, recommended for tourists, travel agents, and anyone interested in this controversial and sordid subject.

Operating Your Own Pet Sitting Kit.......2003-01-30
AFTER READING THIS PUBLICATION, I BENEFITED GREATLY BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE INCLUDED OFFER FOR A ONE-HALF HOUR TELEPHONE CONSULTATION WITH AN EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONAL PET SITTER. SHE ANSWERED ALL THE QUESTIONS I HAD ABOUT RUNNING MY BUSINESS.
I KNOW OF NO OTHER PUBLICATION FOR PET SITTERS THAT GIVES SUCH A PERSONALIZED SERVICE...THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED WAS PRICELESS!
USING THE FORMS AND CONTRACTS HAS LET ME BEGIN MY BUSINESS EASILY AND IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER.
Very ridiculous cost for a few simple pages! `.......2002-12-11
The description of this book should read: "A few simple pages about Pet Sitting". The information isn't bad, however, the price is WAY out of range! Had I known this book was nothing more than this, I never would have purchased it. Very disappointing.
Very disappointing.......2002-08-30
This book was extremely overpriced for the information offered. Basic information, and not overly inspiring. There must be much better books out on the market regarding petsitting for a much more reasonable price. Research them further before buying this one.
Too Basic and Overpriced.......2001-09-24
While there are a couple of good forms that one can use, this book is far to short (only 10 pages in length) and presented ideas that are far too basic (business 101 concepts like "business cards are important").
....!
There are better pet sitting business books on the market.
Informative but WAY over-priced!!.......2001-09-21
Yes, the information in this "kit" is informative and the sample forms are good ones, but for ($) give me a break! I've bought books on the same subject with just as valuable information for half the price and triple the length! Find it used if at all possible!
