Epic for its time.......2003-07-18

The ironic thing is, you couldn't tell it was written in 1932 or 2002 .. the techniques are identical to basic TA today , even the psychology section about cutting losses and trading with the trend sound familiar. Certainly revolutionary when it came out, it's somewhat dated now and a bit wordy. Anyone familiar with chart patterns - h&s, wedges, flags, triangles, trendlines will likely find nothing new in this book. Also, the explanations are a bit wordy .. though I suspect this was necessary when no one was familiar with it. I give it 3 stars for content and another for the fact that it was written in 1932. However, an advanced trader will find this book useless other than for sentimental curiosity.

Learn from the guy who taught Edwards and Magee.......2003-07-17

Finally available to the rest of the world, this classic is easily the best book on classical technical analysis available. Although it is more than 70 years old, the complete and descriptive discussions of how and why reversal and continuation patterns work are as valid now as they were then. Without Schabacker, there'd be no Edwards and Magee, Elliott, Murphy, or even Poser.

Chart reading, anyone?.......2001-12-12

So you want to learn on how to read charts... This is the one for you then! A little dense sometimes due to it's completeness on patterns, but it's all there, really. Won't teach you on how to make a trading system, but if you're into discretionery trading systems you'll love this one. I haven't found a reversal pattern that's not on these pages, and if you want to know about continuation patterns, they're all almost there too. I recommend this book for beginners as for experienced traders.

This is one of those books I keep next to my trading desk!

Technical Analysis' Pioneering Vision.......2001-11-09

Richard Schabacker, in this pioneering book, presents the art and science of technical analysis as an organized subject.

In 13 chapters, he discusses important reversal formations, minor reversal formations, major continuation formations, intermediate patterns and phenomena, trend line action, support and resistance levels, measuring rules and formations and trading tactics.

First published in 1932, the book gives equal weight to a formation's potential and its flaws and warts. Originally devised as a practical investment course, it still sparkles with application today. Despite today's modern computer methods of interpreting price and buying trends, an investor or trader must still master the basics and there is no finer place to begin than this former Forbes financial editor's ground-breaking work.

Gotta Start Somewhere.......2000-08-09

Very good and thorough. If you've had no technical analysis experience, this won't go over your head, and it won't bore you to death if you're somewhat familiar. Somewhat out of date in that it was written in the 30's, but the charts and formations it highlights are eerily valid, relevant, and applicable today as it was back then so you KNOW it's been time tested. Stocks don't chart any differently today than they did back then. Advanced technicians wouldn't like it...doesn't go into the "data" side of technical analysis as in ADX, MACD, RSI,...etc. But about a good a starting point as you're going to find. A great foundation builder.

Book Description

With no written uniform civil code of law, in matters of personal law concerning such matters as marriage, parentage, and inheritance--individuals of different religious backgrounds must appeal to their respective religious laws for guidance or rulings. These essays provide a comprehensive look into the issues and challenges that India faces as it tries to put a uniform civil code into practice. Readers seeking deeper understandings of Indian history and culture will find a sensitive handling of the tensions between religious law and the claims of a modern, secular state in this timely volume.

Book Description

This exploration of the conditions which characterize the process of a general application of agro-mechanical technology is illustrated through a detailed study of the use of a new agricultural tool in rural India.

Book Description

Since the mid 1980s this field has been rapidly expanded by the molecular identification of a series of surface molecules dedicated to adhesive interactions between endothelial cells and leukocytes. It is now clear that the expression or activity of most of these molecules is tightly and selectively controlled, and that they are vital for the physiological processes of leukocyte trafficking and also critically involved in the enhanced leukocyte emigration that is a key feature of all inflammatory and immune diseases. This in turn has led to a new phase in inflammation research, designed to produce novel therapeutic tools that can control the expression or action of these adhesion molecules. The book will provide an overview of the roles of vascular adhesion molecules in health and disease, with chapters on their cell biology, followed by chapters reviewing their importance in specific disease processes.

Vascular adhesion molecules and inflammation - worthy to hav.......2000-05-02

If you are a scientist and your work is connected to either vascular biology or inflammation you will have pleasure reading this book. The first chapter brings you a wonderful "historical" background in vascular-inflammtory studies. Other chapters are very informative reviews of biology of selectins and other adhesive proteins, interaction of blood cells with endothelium and even analysis of inflammatory responses in a xenotransplantation model. Yes, read it!

Description:
Chemotherapy for breast cancer leads to increased fatigue, poor mood, and reduced quality of life. Few studies have examined possible changes in inflammation during chemotherapy as potential contributors to this phenomenon. This study examined the relationship among circulating levels of soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fatigue, depressed mood, and quality of life before and during anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Twenty-nine women diagnosed with stage I-IIIA breast cancer (mean age 49.5 years, S.D.+/-11) were studied prior to cycle 1 of chemotherapy and 2.5 months later at the start of cycle 4 of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy led to a significant increase in sICAM-1 (P <0.05) and VEGF (P <0.01) levels, as well as increased ratings of fatigue (P <0.01), depressed mood (P <0.03), and poorer quality of life (P <0.01). Multiple regression analyses revealed that elevated VEGF (P <0.01) and sICAM-1 (P <0.02) were related to the increased fatigue and/or poorer quality of life as a result of chemotherapy. Pre-chemotherapy levels of VEGF and pre-chemotherapy ratings of quality of life predicted quality of life in response to chemotherapy (P <0.001). The findings contribute to the literature by showing that both pre-chemotherapy and chemotherapy-induced changes in inflammation are related to changes in fatigue and quality of life in response to chemotherapy.

A must for practitioners of SEC.......2001-04-11

Even though over 20 years old, this text remains the standard in the field of SEC. The introductory chapters on retention, band broadening, and resolution not only are a must read but will be returned to many times. The sections on instrumentation, detectors, columns, and data handling are still useful, but are dated. This book could greatly benefit from a second edition, to include updated detection and column methodologies, as well as hyphenated techniques. As such, because it is not a cheap book, it is probably not the ideal textbook. However, academics, industrial practitioners, and anyone who is seeking either basic or advanced SEC info will probably find what they need here. It should also be mentioned that the treatment of solution thermodynamics (i.e., the combined effects of solvent and temperature on dissolution and dilute solution properties) is above average for an SEC text. For a 20+ year old book, the treatment of the subject matter has held up extremely well.

Book Description

This book explains concepts of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffractometry (XRD) that are important for the characterization of materials. The third edition has been updated to cover important technical developments, including the remarkable recent improvement in resolution of the TEM. This edition is not substantially longer than the second, but all chapters have been updated and revised for clarity. A new chapter on high resolution STEM methods has been added. The book explains the fundamentals of how waves and wave functions interact with atoms in solids, and the similarities and differences of using x-rays, electrons, or neutrons for diffraction measurements. Diffraction effects of crystalline order, defects, and disorder in materials are explained in detail. Both practical and theoretical issues are covered. The book can be used in an introductory-level or advanced-level course, since sections are identified by difficulty. Each chapter includes a set of problems to illustrate principles, and the extensive Appendix includes laboratory exercises.
