Book Description
Todays traders want to know when volatility is a sign that the sky is falling (and they should stay out of the market), and when it is a sign of a possible trading opportunity.
Inside Volatility Arbitrage can help them do this. Author and financial expert Alireza Javaheri uses the classic approach to evaluating volatility -- time series and financial econometrics -- in a way that he believes is superior to methods presently used by market participants. He also suggests that there may be "skewness" trading opportunities that can be used to trade the markets more profitably. Filled with in-depth insight and expert advice,
Inside Volatility Arbitrage will help traders discover when "skewness" may present valuable trading opportunities as well as why it can be so profitable.
Order your copy of this groundbreaking new work on assessing volatility using financial econometrics to trade against "skewness" scenarios today.

Review of Stochastic Volatility.......2005-09-22
This book is an excellent overview of all the work that has been done in the field of stochastic vol. There is no area of research that is not touched upon in the book. The mathematics is very dense and it requires a lot of digging through to get to the point. I would highly recommend the book as a reference book for stochastic vol.
Practitioners Beware.......2005-09-18
I've ordered dozens of books from Amazon over the years and this is the 1st one I'm returning. The title is nonsense -- it should read Stochastic Volatility Models for Phds.
Book Description

The Universal Language DISC.......2007-01-23
This book is a core element in my business coaching and talent selection business. It is accurate, easy to read, comprehensive and will open your eyes to how you act, interact and react to those around you. It will help you build yourself, your team(s) and your company. I recommend it for both personal and professional growth.
The Universal Language of DiSC.......2005-10-06
Sorry, but I would not recommend this book. As a "reference guide" I really expected more. Probably a good buy at $19.95, but I'll sell you mine for $85.00.
Book Description
From Shamu the dancing whale at Sea World to Hawaiian lu'au shows, Staging Tourism analyzes issues of performance in a wide range of tourist venues. Jane C. Desmond argues that the public display of bodies—how they look, what they do, where they do it, who watches, and under what conditions—is profoundly important in structuring identity categories of race, gender, and cultural affiliation. These fantastic spectacles of corporeality form the basis of hugely profitable tourist industries, which in turn form crucial arenas of public culture where embodied notions of identity are sold, enacted, and debated.
Gathering together written accounts, postcards, photographs, advertisements, films, and oral histories as well as her own interpretations of these displays, Desmond gives us a vibrant account of U.S. tourism in Waikiki from 1900 to the present. She then juxtaposes cultural tourism with "animal tourism" in the United States, which takes place at zoos, aquariums, and animal theme parks. In each case, Desmond argues, the relationship between the viewer and the viewed is ultimately based on concepts of physical difference harking back to the nineteenth century.

An outstanding survey of tourism and popular culture........2000-03-03
In Staging Tourism: Bodies On Display From Waikiki To Sea World, author Jane Desmond argues that the public display of bodies (how they look, what they do, where they do it, who watches, and under what conditions) is profoundly important in structuring identity categories of race, gender, and cultural affiliation. These displays and showcased activities form the basis of a hugely profitable tourist industry, which in turn forms crucial arenas of public culture where embodied notions of identity are sold, enacted, and debated. Desmond draws from written accounts, postcards, photographs, advertisements, films, and oral histories to make her own interpretations of these displays. She give a vibrant account of American tourism in Waikiki from 1900 to the present, juxtaposes cultural tourism with "animal tourism" (zoos, aquariums, animal theme parks), and argues the relationship between the viewer and the viewed as ultimately based on concepts of physical difference harking back to the 19th Century. Staging Tourism is an informative, riveting, tour-de-force presentation of the tourist industry within its wider social contexts and ideological frameworks in order to delineate the contemporary tourist experience. Staging Tourism is recommended reading for students of American popular culture, the economics of recreation, and the history of tourism in the United States.

Book Description
In 2003 Wally Lamb—the author of two of the most beloved novels of our time, She's Come Undone and I Know This Much Is True—published Couldn't Keep It to Myself, a collection of essays by the students in his writing workshop at the maximum-security York Correctional Institution, Connecticut's only prison for women. Writing, Lamb discovered, was a way for these women to confront painful memories, face their fears and their failures, and begin to imagine better lives. The New York Times described the book as "Gut-tearing tales . . . the unvarnished truth." The Los Angeles Times said of it, "Lying next to and rising out of despair, hope permeates this book."
Now Lamb returns with I'll Fly Away, a new volume of intimate, searching pieces from the York workshop. Here, twenty women—eighteen inmates and two of Lamb's cofacilitators—share the experiences that shaped them from childhood and that haunt and inspire them to this day. These portraits, vignettes, and stories depict with soul-baring honesty how and why women land in prison—and what happens once they get there. The stories are as varied as the individuals who wrote them, but each testifies to the same core truth: the universal value of knowing oneself and changing one's life through the power of the written word.

Everyday Survival 101.......2002-10-09
Connecticut Survival, part of The Survival Series, is a comprehensive guide to dealing with all of the bureaucratic stuff of life, yet it is concisely written. It has all the forms your teenager or young adult will have to fill out sooner or later -- registration to vote, job application, passport, tax forms, and more, so they can become familiar with them in advance. It also has good advice -- like how much money is safe to borrow or how to make a budget. It explains how to open a checking account and balance a check book! That's why I think every high school senior should have this book, or its companion books, New York Survival and California Survival. The books list lots of web sites that are useful for navigating life. I feel better knowing my college freshman can use this guide to help her manage her new independence.
