A Treasure.......2007-05-06
A thin book indeed with only 111 pages, 107 black and white photographs of people over the age of 90. But how many of such books exist and why would you want to own such a book? The answer will depend on your current perceptions.
Imogen Cunningham had been a portrait photographer for most of her life having photographed Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and many other well-known artists. She chose to make this third volume of her photographs in 1976 at the age of 92; and would die one year later before it could be published. She set about finding people over 90 who were independent spirits and still fully involved in their profession or a new profession they had chosen.
Her straightforward black and white studies reveal the way we are at the end of life; in a face, an expression, a gesture, a posture.
The captions are as revealing as the photographs themselves. My favorite on p.48:
"She said `when we were young, we were all puritans, and all we talked about was whether it was right or it was wrong, and then I married a man from Sardinia.'"
A treasure.

Book Description
This volume contains twenty-one studies of various aspects of Judaeo-Arabic, the language spoken by Jews living in the Muslim countries of the Middle Ages. Using mainly the manuscript treasures found in the depository (Genizah) of the Ben Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, the essays, by an international group of scholars belonging to the Society for Judaeo-Arabic Studies, not only deal with linguistic, literary and philosophical ideas of the Jews, but also touch on medicine, magic and relations with other religions. It is the most up-to-date treatment of the subject available in English.

Customer Reviews:
Wonderful Resource for All!.......2006-07-10
I bought this book after having my mail order business up and running for over a year. I was looking for inexpensive ways to market my company. This book provided that and more! This book is packed with excellent marketing tips, solutions to inventory and software issues, and examples from other successful mail order companies to let you see how others approached similar issues. I highly recommend this book to newbies or those that are looking to tweak their operations, both for its content and its amazing reference section at the end!
Excellent material.......2005-09-24
Great synopsis of a "how to" book. Not just general information but great functional tips along the way.

Book is outdated!! buyer beware not even usefull for anything.......2005-09-22
I would agree that this book is useless, has nothing to do with really anything in the lingerie business, i have been researching todo my own lingerie parties for [...], and want to make sure i do everything right! so this book did not give any insite, better off on my own by trial and error.
Thanks

Useless and completely out of date........2000-04-04
This appears to have been written from an outdated set script, "Start Your Own Mail Order (insert text here) Business". There was very little information specific to the lingerie industry. Of the 224 pages in the book, I counted no more than 20 pages that were about the lingerie business. The figures used ( over a 50 billion dollar a year industry ) were not backed up and appear plain wrong. Victoria's Secret's mail order/internet division did just under 800 Million last year, making it hard to believe the authors claim ( oops, no author was listed - probably too embarrassed ). Now for the kicker, the internet was never mentioned anywhere in the book! Also, since I'm "in the business" as owner of Lingerie.com and LingerieDropshippers.com, I can test their claims against my own experience. I found absolutely nothing useful and advise everyone to save their money. You'd get more and better information from a simple search on Yahoo for lingerie manufacturers. Then look elsewhere on Amazon for one of their many excellant books on starting a small business.
Book Description
This exciting text provides students with a superior grounding in contemporary international political economy. It emphasizes current scholarship and provides the background in politics, economics, and history that students need to understand the contemporary global economy.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Shipping Time and High Quality Book.......2007-10-21
The book was in great condition and arrived only in a few days, which was ideal for since classes were starting!
readable textbook.......2007-02-14
This textbook was easy to read (not overly technical and used a lot of real-world analogies). An instuctor or professor who requires this text is probably taking a practical approach to the course, which typically means it will be more interesting to learn about the subject matter. The text is only in paperback and not particularly durable for backpack toting- buy used if possible.
Just great.......2007-01-10
First the book appears to be full of ideas without a touch of reality or just theoretical, but after reading the first and second chapter and after understanding the principles of econ 101/102, everything will make sense. There is so much to learn in this book and, the good thing, it is not boring.
I have to say that it was the best political econ book I've ever read, and I do recommend it for beginners.
gives an understanding of the many forms of globalisation.......2006-09-28
Oatley provides a readable, non-mathematical description of international economics since World War 2. The book will give the reader a good grounding in understanding globalisation. Not as something to be feared or tamed, but as arising from fundamental trends that are effectively impossible to reverse.
Oatley certainly talks about more than just globalisation. Like managing exchange rates. But even here, it is discussed in the context and reality of a world where immense pools of capital are often highly mobile. This is not typically thought of by the general public as globalisation. But the text shows that capital flow across national boundaries is indeed another aspect of globalisation, that has become common in the last 20 years.
coherent and concise.......2006-05-05
Oatley has a way of boiling down complex concepts into short, pithy chapters. The writing is clear and concise and the examples used in the text provide interesting perspectives on current political issues such as the US budget deficit or the power dynamics in debt negotiations between powerful international creditors (IMF, World Bank) and debtor countries. The chapters are well structured--with introductions and conclusions that really help draw out the key points of the chapter. I found that this book provided coherent theories with which I could better understand material from other political science and economics classes. Overall, I highly recommend it.
