Book Description
The first book to combine global and postcolonial theoretical approaches to the built environment, and to illustrate these with concrete examples, Spaces of Global Cultures argues for a more historical, differentiated and interdisciplinary understanding of globalization: one that places material space and the built environment at the center and calls for innovative concepts to address new contemporary conditions.

Book Description
Whether you use your camera to capture vacation highlights, preserve family memories, or just take good shots, this book will help you improve your photographs. Autofocus cameras have made photography easier, but for the best possible results, you need to know how cameras work. Created for the beginner who is using a point-and-shoot camera or a 35-mm SLR camera, this extensive reference offers a wide range of information about the latest user-friendly cameras. Find out about the various autofocus and exposure modes and when it's appropriate to use them. See how aperture size and shutter speed affect the appearance of a photograph, and understand the importance of lighting. Develop a working knowledge of film, filters, and lenses. Experiment with alternative ways of taking great flash pictures and composing and photographing your favorite subjects. With this helpful guide, you'll become a master at using autofocus cameras, but more important, you'll master the art of taking better pictures.
Book Description
This text conveys the principles of macroeconomics in a superb conversational style that engages students in the material unlike any other text. By appealing to students' interests and language; using familiar stories, illustrations, and scenarios and a direct-to-student writing style; and a narrative built on questions, the distance is lessened between the student and the unfamiliar concepts of economics. The book also maintains a focus on presenting basic concepts in depth and developing economics analysis step-by-step, rather than covering hundreds of topics superficially. With this book, students are discouraged from simply memorizing facts, and are engaged in active learning.

Great products..........2005-09-27
Got here pretty quick, just a day later than i expected but got here during syllabus week so it was all good... perfect condition and great service... highly recommended...
Econ Profs, Start Here First.......2001-12-01
This is one of 2 books I kept from my four years in college. It is also the book that helped me choose Economics as one of my minors. It's that good.
Gottheil's models (actually, he really only uses one model--a fishery) are almost absurdly easy to follow. Along the way he takes concepts a student would find new and difficult, and makes them into concepts a student can follow, and in my case, enjoy. I whole heartedly reccomend this title.
Principles of Microeconomics by Gottheil = SIMPLICITY.......2001-05-19
I have now had two course in economics - Principles of Micro. and Macro., both classes required the use of the priciples books by Fred Gottheil. My professor was a student of Mr. Gottheil and described his classes as clarifying. She said that he made economics easy to understand. This book by Gottheil, as his class, is also easy to comprehend. The topics are confusing to a newcomer of economics but the style and clarification used makes the principles quite simple.
Easy to Understand Economics??.......2001-05-17
You're absolutely correct!! I was a student of Prof. Gottheil the first year he released this book. The teachings of the book make Micro-Economics both easy to understand and enjoyable. I've recommended this book to both undergrads and MBA students alike, and have not received a single complaints (but have received much praise).

A "Must Read" Primer for Association Boards!.......2001-04-26
This book is packed with tremendous value. I use D'Amour's book as an idea generator and to help solve problems that arise.

Questions and Answers to Help You Pass the Real Estate Appraisal Exams.......2005-07-19
Excellent review for taking the Real Estate Appraisal Exam, it covers all topics at the proper degree of difficulty.
I TOO USED MR. TIRONE'S HP-12C BOOK TO STUDY FOR THE EXAM.......2004-03-25
I purchased as much material as I could to help me through the appraisal certification exams, especially so to help me through the books I had to buy! It semed that I kept getting deeper and deeper with each book I purchased, the reviewed book included. I then saw one of my classmate's book on the HP12C, written by a Mr. John A. Tirone from Michigan. I purchased this book and used it to supplement the calculations in Mr. Fisher's questions and answers book as well as his Income Property Appraisal book.
The Tirone HP12C book was clear, comprehensive, and as said by others who have commented on Mr. Tirone's books, I was able to call him with questions on how to solve various income capitalization problems and also on how to fine tune my understanding of the Hewlett packard HP12C financial calculator. To my thinking, every appraisal text I have seen is deficient in assisting us students with the calculations on the HP finance calculators. Mr. Tirone's book and his giving no-charge approach to supporting his books and the topic are essentially lifesavers for most of us.
I used Mr. John A. Tirone's HP-12C Book to get me through th.......2004-03-13
I used Professional real Estate Propblem Solving using the HP 12C to get me through this confusing book as well as help me get through "G1" and "G2" appraisal's computations materials. What stumped me was the lack of clarity in the Fihser Tosh book as far as computations. for coverage of the HP12C it was a lifesaver to have Mr. Tirone's HP-12C real estate book. Mr. Tirone was helpful as several in our class called him for help while trying to absorb the confusing aspects of the Fisher/Tosh book. Mr. Tirone should write a book like Questions and Answers... or team up with the likes of the authors of the reviewed book.
One example in the Tosh book shows a calculation using a terminal value-sales price of $10,000 when it should be $100,000. This gave us fits and I could not figure the problem out until I called Mr. Tirone and he showed us how to do the problem.
Didn't feel like it helped much but I did pass.......2002-03-31
I was nervous before this test and I went through and answered every question in the book. The actual test seemed to ask significantly different questions. The result, however, was I passed with over 90 percent. Can you argue with that? It must have helped.
Don't waste your money if you already have the yellow book.......2001-08-26
If you already have the yellow book "Questions and Answers to help you past the Real Estate Appraisal Exams", don't waste your money purchasing the new book that was put out in 2000. It's the same book - just copy written in October of 2000. I made the mistake of thinking that there would be new questions since 1994, or the questions would at least be asked in a different format, but they are not. Word for word they are the same. So save your money if you already have the yellow book and just study it a little bit harder!
