The Provisional City: Los Angeles Stories of Architecture and Urbanism
Dana Cuff Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0262532026 |
Book Description
The provisional city is one of constant erasure and eruption. Through what Dana Cuff calls a "convulsive urban act," developers both public and private demolish an urban site and disband its inhabitants, replacing it with some vision of a better life that leaves no trace of the former structure. Architects bring their own utopian dreams to the process. In this book Cuff examines those convulsions through two underestimated dimensions of architectural and urban form: scale and the politics of property. Scale is intimately tied to degree of disruption: the larger a project's scale, the greater the upheaval. As both culture and geography, real estate plays an equally significant role in urban formation.

The environmentalist, the corporate social responsibility advocate and the organization development practitioner will all find what they need in this book. The last chapter reads like the proposal for Dexter's latest book, but this one is the place to start.

ASIN: 0072495839 |
Book Description
The clear market leader in the corporate finance course, this text filled a very definite need for a MODERN corporate finance text back in 1983 when the first edition was published. It is known for its intuitive, conversational style and for being able to tie together many of the important ideas in corporate finance. The author's discussions and illustrations are unique due to the depth of detail blended with a distinct sense of humor. This new edition will continue to be authoritative and student friendly but will also carry stronger, modern coverage reflected by current examples and data as well as unique emphasis upon agency issues.Customer Reviews:
blah blah blah..........2007-03-13
A solid introduction to corporate finance.......2003-05-23
At 1071 pages, Principles of Corporate Finance can hardly be called a short book. Introductory textbooks often suffer from a "too-much-too-little" syndrome, in that numerous topics are covered, but none too well. Brealey and Myers easily avoid this pitfall. Their writing is solid and manages to keep the reader's interest. Although available space puts a limit on what can be said, the book's coverage is quite comprehensive and well linked to the results of modern research. Moreover, all topics receive their fair share of treatment so you can actually understand the theories the book presents. It should be noted here that some mathematical background is probably necessary to make the book easy reading.
Each chapter contains many problems which can be used to facilitate the learning process. I found them very useful. The only complaint I have about the book (International Edition) is that the binding proved less than perfect, as after a while pages started separating from the main body of the work. But that is a problem I can live with.
All in all, an interesting, readable, authoritative introduction to corporate finance.
CORPORATE FINANCE BIBLE ON WALL STREET.......2003-03-20
This is the preferred learning tools of all finance professors I have met and the reference used by all finance professionals I met. It is very simple to follow the concepts of the book, especially if you purchase the study guide that is available with it.
The only major concern I have heard is that it does not deal with the more recent finance problems of off-balance sheet financing and other shenanigans. This is a book meant to teach basic financial theory, so those topics, in my opinion, are better treated elsewhere.

The Golden Rule of Schmoozing: The Authentic Practice of Treating Others Well
Aye Jaye Manufacturer: Sourcebooks ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1570711291 |
Book Description
So what is schmoozing? According to Webster's unabridged dictionary, schmoozing is a yiddish word that means to chat or to converse idly. But today there is a common misconception, the word has come to suggest a con or trickery. It's not. Schmoozing is the Golden Rule at full throttle. It's a thrill and an art form that encourages people to say, "you've made my day" instead of demanding "make my day". It's a technique for turning others on, not taking others on. A schmoozer is someone who talks to people as if they really mattered-and they do!2 cassettes, 3 hours

REVIEWS: "This self-help audio is read with considerable humor and feeling by Penn Jillette of Penn & Teller fame. Highly recommended." - Library Journal. "After three hours of Jillette's gregarious salt of the earth narration listeners will come away believing that schmoozing is more natural and attainable than most of us ever imagined..." - Quill & Quire.
