    Book Description

    For most of recorded history, men's pay has tended to be higher than women's. This both reflects and underpins gender roles, with men's authority more highly valued socially as well as economically. In Unequal Pay for Women and Men, Heather Joshi and Pierella Paci look at why gender pay inequality matters. They argue that no amount of training, maternity and parental leave, or child care provisions will change women's economic status if pay treatment remains unequal--if the market values men's time more than women's.

    The book is the result of an extensive study of the relative wages of British men and women between 1978 and 1991. Using two large and extremely detailed longitudinal data sets, one of women and men born in 1946, and the other of women and men born in 1958, the authors examine the evolution of the pay gap over time and evaluate the success of policies designed to establish equal pay.

    Although the book focuses mainly on Britain, the results are of interest to labor economists in other countries, as well as to researchers in other fields studying the changing role of women in the labor force.

        1 out of 5 stars AVOID !.......2007-04-02

        This book is a rehash of an earlier book offered by the author's now extinct website/subscription-service. It is simplistic, repetitive and wrong. Avoid.

        1 out of 5 stars Poorly written book -- .......2007-03-27

        I found the text poorly written: VERY repetitious; overly general on basic trade methodology; then not enough specifics regarding pairs trading. Math formulas were given without sufficient explanation or application, as if the author was just filling space with them (and the fonts used for the math was amateurish and not up to math text typographic standards -- in some cases even making them difficult to read). I was quite shocked at the overall low quality of the book. John Wiley trade texts are often of uneven quality I'm finding, even though the publishing house is thought to have a good reputation. Don't waste your time or money on this one. (And I'm not being overly harsh or critical, either.)

        5 out of 5 stars Confused Reviewers.......2006-08-09

        This book was recommended to me by a friend who knew that I was going to use it to trade myself. I liked the idea of pairs trading and needed some help. Unlike one of the earlier reviewers, I found other pairs books either way too technical or just hard to follow. That was not the case with this book. It walks through enough basics to be helpful, but not too much, and then gives a solid approach that I have been able to successfully apply.

        I found Ehrman's writing style very easy to follow and clean. It has made a big difference in my trading already. As to the author's fame (as mentioned by an earlier reviewer), he is a practicioner of his method. While PairsTrading.com no longer exists, it merged and is now PairTrader.com. There newsletters are very helpful and have helped to improve my trading as well. Anyway, hope this helps perspective buyers, particularly in light of some of the nay-sayers.

        1 out of 5 stars A Waste of Time and Money.......2006-08-05

        The book "The Handbook of Pairs Trading" is innacurate, incomplete, vauge, poorly written, and ultimately fails to define a pairs trading strategy. The first three chapters are a bad summary of fundamental analysis, technical analysis, market-neutral invsting, and arbitrage. The author then presents his "Unified Theory", where he begins, "The pairs trading investment strategy is comprised of three central elements: the market-neutral element, the arbitrage element, and the technical analysis element". He then proceeds with Chapter 9, titled "Reviewing the Elements", which is unbelievably, an even-worse summary of the preceeding 8 chapters. The final section of the book, "Advanced Strategies and Examples", still fails to present a strategy for pairs selection or trading. Instead, it presents more tertiary review of basic finance knowledge, such as "The purchase of call option is the most basic strategy in options trading". This book is full of filler; yet another worthless volume in the long line of so-called finance books published by John Wiley and Sons.

        It is amazing to me that that the same company can at the same time publish a book like "Pairs Trading", by Ganapathy Vidyamurthy. I consider Vidyamurthy's book the best published texts on pairs trading. Unlike Erhman's book, Vidyamurthy's started as a PhD thesis. Readers without a quantitative or scientific background will not find Vidyamurthy's book helpful. However, as pairs trading is inherently a quantitative strategy, the book is well suited to the target audience and is an excellent introductory text on the subject.

        5 out of 5 stars Exactly Right.......2006-05-14

        When I first saw this book I was sceptical, but bought it anyway. I am so glad I did because it has unlocked for me a way to trade that consistently makes me money. I am a doctor and don't have a background in finance. This book was easy to follow and taught me how to approach the market. Since reading the book, I am finally making profitable trades; I'd be lost without it. Thanks...

        • The evolution of federal statutory Indian law and the judicial foundations of federal Indian policy;
        • An extensive compilation and analysis of federal and state court decisions;

        • The parameters of criminal jurisdiction in Indian country;
        • Concepts of tribal sovereignty and jurisdiction relating to a number of specific areas including tribal courts, hunting and fishing, environmental regulation, water rights, gaming, and child welfare; and
        • Cooperative approaches used by the states and tribes for resolving jurisdiction disputes and promoting better relations.

        Thorough, scholarly, and balanced, The American Indian Law Deskbook, Third Edition, is an invaluable reference for a wide range of people working with Indian tribes, including attorneys and legal scholars, government officials, social workers, state and tribal jurists, and historians.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource in Indian law.......2002-03-03

        This is an excellent resource in federal Indian law. It is updated annually via cumulative pocket-parts and is a thorough review of the subject. It is a great place to begin research in Indian law because it lays out the blackletter and has copious citations to the major (and sometimes less major) cases on the subject. For me, if I could have only one book on the subject, this would be it.

        5 out of 5 stars An important and useful source for federal Indian law.......2001-05-08

        Federal Indian law is a quagmire that demands useful navigational tools. In the past, Felix Cohen's "Handbook of Federal Indian Law" (particularly the 1942 ed.) was used by everyone - including Supreme Court Justices - to better understand this jurisprudence. This field of law, however, has evolved in many ways in the intervening twenty years and the "American Indian Law Deskbook" permits readers to learn about these changes in the responsibilities and exposures of the states, tribes, and federal government. Indeed, this is the second edition, and the foreword indicates that even the five-year period between editions had been eventful. The overall intent of this publication is to present relevant legal history to sustain an understanding of Indian law today.

        The editors have included Tables of Cases (32 pp.), and of Statutes and Codes (9 pp.), as well as a bibliography (10 pp.). One important note must be added. Yearly supplements are a crucial part of the business of legal research, and the editors of the "American Indian Law Deskbook" realized this when they published the first edition in 1993. This practice has continued, and stand-alone yearly supplements are available for both 1999 and 2000 that update the current edition.

        "American Indian Law Deskbook" augments Cohen's "Handbook." It should be considered as a core holding for those with a desire and/or a need to learn more about current federal Indian law.

                            Book Description

                            This new edition covers recent advances in understanding immunological and inflammatory responses in the nervous system, research driven by the potential to use knowledge of the molecules and mechanisms involved to intervene in, and arrest, neurodegenerative disease processes. Immune and Inflammatory Responses in the Nervous System covers developmental aspects of immune/inflammatory responses in the CNS, basic aspects of glial function, as well as inflammatory mediators, their mechanisms of action, clinical importance and sites of infection. There is also coverage of the major diseases of the CNS, including stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Throughout, the focus is on the underlying basic neuroscience, clinical relevance and the potential for therapeutic interventions. This will be an invaluable aid to understanding and improving the diagnosis of neuroimmune diseases and determining therapeutic measures. The contributors are all leading experts in the field and the content will be of interest to neuroscientists, neurologists, neuropathologists, neurosurgeons and immunologists.

                              Book Description

                              Many molecules and mechanisms traditionally associated with the peripheral immune system have been found to be active within the central nervous system. The investigation of immune activation is a rapidly expanding field of research, particularly since it is directly related to acute neuronal
                              damage and in degenerative disorders of the nervous system such as Alzheimer's disease and multiple sclerosis. This volume brings together a team of internationally recognized experts who address topics such as neuronal transplantation, leukocyte migration, the role of inflammation and immune
                              responses in neurological diseases and brain injury, and the potential benefits of treatment with modulators of cytokine action. It will be of interest to all researchers and clinicians involved in the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of neuroimmune diseases.

                                                5 out of 5 stars Old New York.......2007-09-03

                                                The people that Joseph Mitchell introduces the reader to in these character sketches are representative of a New York that no longer exists and their stories are nostalgic and sentimental. But there is more here than that. Mitchell writes with a respect for his subjects regardless of their circumstances that reveals a true observer of life at work. Without a hint of judgementalism he takes the time to understand and the reader is rewarded and enriched as a result.
                                                This collection is particulary good and Up In The Old Hotel contains more of the same style. The latter book is more readily available although I found a copy of this at the Strand bookstore off Union Square.

                                                He really does take you places. Places you may have been before, but in a time we'll never know again. As I'm reading, I'm careful to catch every word, afraid of missing out on the world he's revealing to me.

                                                This is the first I've ever read of Mitchell, but he's already one of my favorite authors. Journalism at its finest.

                                                5 out of 5 stars Exquisite portraits wonderfully written.......2003-07-10

                                                There are so many good things I could say about The Bottom of the Harbor. Mitchell's writing style is clean easy to read without lacking in depth and texture. The stories themselves are fascinating and off beat.

                                                But the best part of the book are the characters Mitchell writes about. They come alive through his portrayals and you will find yourself thinking about them, their thoughts, and their ways of life long after you stop reading.

                                                The book contains six separate stories, each about 40 (short) pages long, so you can absorb them at your own pace without losing the thread. Personally, I had a hard time putting the book down.

                                                4 out of 5 stars Excellent 1940-50's New York waterfront life short stories.......1998-06-12

                                                Informative and very well-written short stories about life near and on the New York waterways in the 1940-1950's. A thoughtful and seemingly kind writer...I will definately read more of his work.
