                      This book is the perfect liasion between the microeconomics realm of information economics and the real world of banking and financial intermediation. It supplies a healthy dose of microeconomic theory to fully understand the underlying features of the most common financial instruments used in modern banking practice, all explained thoroughly with down to earth narratives and doable math/game theoretic instruments. It makes a wonderful preview before going on with Freixas text, or at least as its companion.

                        Book Description

                        Stuart Greenbaum and Anjan Thakor bring a unique analytical approach to the subject of banks and banking in this completely revised and updated new edition. They expand the scope of the typical bank management course by addressing all types of deposit-type financial institutions and by explaining the why of intermediation rather than simply describing institutions, regulations, and market phenomena. This analytic approach strikes at the heart of financial intermediation by explaining why financial intermediaries exist and what they do. Specific regulations, economies, and policies will change, but the underlying philosophical foundations remain the same. This approach enables students to understand the foundational principles and to apply them to whatever context they encounter as professionals.

                            I was disappointed to find after I bought two copies of this "book" that it was a 50-60 page pamphlet
                            at $12.95 each. The information was very general and it was not worth the money.
                            I returned it.

                                Book Description

                                Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) has become important in rice farming systems because this process diminishes the need for expensive chemical fertilizers which have been associated with numerous health and environmental problems. The extensive exploitation of BNF would provide economic benefits to small farmers, avoiding all malign influences of chemical fertilizers.
                                Meanwhile, advances in biotechnology have brought rice genetics to the threshold of new opportunities for increasing rice production.
                                This volume focuses, in six different sessions, on the role of BNF in the improvement of rice production in the light of the current state of the art of BNF technology transfer and diffusion. New ideas on BNF technology in research, extension information and inoculant technology are also included, together with the socio-economic impacts of using BNF in rice farm systems.

                                  At 7 a.m. on August 29, Hurricane Katrina made landfall on the Louisiana coast between Grand Isle and the mouth of the Mississippi River as a strong Category 4 hurricane. The devastation she would bring to the Gulf Coast was widespread and unimaginable. Though warnings had been issued for days and evacuations initiated, thousands stood in the path of one of the strongest storms in the history of America. Left with no power, no drinking water, dwindling food supplies, and steadily rising waters from major levee breaches, survivors also faced life-threatening looting and widespread fires. Efforts to limit the flooding were initially unsuccessful and refugees from the hurricane fought for their very survival on the streets of New Orleans and throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. While tragedy and desperation brought out the worst in some, it also inspired courage and hope in others, giving them the will to triumph against incalculable odds. Searching for loved ones and pets, seeking shelter and the basic necessities of life, thousands continued to fight on to simply survive the harshest of conditions and help others do the same. Many of these gripping and heroic moments are captured in KATRINA: Stories of Rescue, Recovery and Rebuilding in the Eye of the Storm, vividly reflected in stories and dramatic four-color photographs from the Associated Press and other wire services. A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the American Red Cross to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina.

                                  Being a Katrina Survivor I wanted to have this book to be able to pass it on to grandchildren some day. It's full of pictures.

                                      5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!.......2006-01-05

                                      I know some reviewers seemed to think the twists rather cliched, but I absolutely loved this! Maybe I just don't read enough fantasy or perhaps I'm one of those "younger kids" that were mentioned, but either way I really truly loved it! I normally have trouble finishing short story collections all the way to the end, (it's just something about jumping from story-to-story all the time) so it's really saying something about a book whenever I do!!

                                      3 out of 5 stars a mixed bag.......2005-04-11

                                      With a couple of exceptions, this group of darkly philosophical fantasy stories is thought-provoking but not suitable for younger/more sensitive readers. Veteran fantasy lovers are likely to find the twists a bit too predictable, while Coville's extremely low-key tone (obviously chosen to play up the "surprise" elements) can get really wearing. Check the book out at the library, read "Homeward Bound" and "Blaze of Glory" (which are very much worth your time and pack a surprising and beautiful punch), and let the rest go.

                                      3 out of 5 stars Good for younger kids.......2004-06-13

                                      This is fine for younger kids who wouldn't see some of these "twists" coming. But it is definitely not for anyone older. I read books on a few different levels. Some are very good even if they're intended for younger readers. But this book was just so cliche and predictable. I knew what was going to happen a couple of pages through each story. And some things didn't seem very developed, even though they had potential. But, some of the other books by Bruce Coville are good. Look for those.

                                      4 out of 5 stars Something special.......2003-12-02

                                      I read these tales out loud to my son. Most of them are well-written, clever examples of speculative fiction. Like any collection of short fiction, some works are better than others, some more worthwhile than others. "Duffy's Jacket" is wonderful fun, and most kids will easily understand and enjoy it. "The Language of Blood" is highly imaginative, but may be difficult for younger children who are yet unable to slip their minds into another culture and time. And then there is "Old Glory," which alone is worth the price of the book. I strongly recommend reading it aloud, since it's worth some discussion. . . .

                                      3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2000-05-15

                                      Bruce Coville has written a collection of wholesome short stories extolling the virtues of faith, patience, reconciliation, peace, remembrance, inner beauty and forgiveness. Incidentally, none of the tales really appeal to me, since I don't tend to like stories with Wholesome Messages. Most of them come across as a little bland and predictable, and I particularly didn't like the message about faith in "The Box." I love stories that have a surprising or chilling twist at the end-- exemplified in Patricia C. Wrede's "Cruel Sisters" and Vivian Vande Velde's "Straw into Gold" and "Lost Soul" and "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. The stories found in Oddly Enough are neither inspiring nor inspired, and I would tend to agree with Coville when he said he never thought of himself as a short story writer. However, I can see how these stories might appeal to younger fantasy readers, and parents should certainly approve of them. The cover art is also gorgeous; it is only unfortunate the stories did not turn out to be as spontaneous and surreal. If you like your stories with a bit more...attitude, I would suggest Wrede's excellent anthology, The Book of Enchantments, Vivian Vande Velde's Curses, Inc., or A Wizard's Dozen, which is a good collection of YA fantasy stories by different authors.

                                        Great book to spend a few minutes with now and then. It proves beyond doubt that of all the species on our planet we are the most odd.

                                                No doubt about it: the olden days were as tough as they were golden. Yet no matter what the age of history, humor softened the lives of those who lived throughout time. In this collection of true stories from times past, you will find tales both humorous and touching - some will make you laugh, while others will tug at your heart. An escaped convict gives up his freedom to save a dying woman; A mangy dog rescues his young master; A young boy tricks a mob and saves the missionaries; A flock of geese are forced into hand-knitted sweaters; A woman hides cinnamon rolls in the radiator. As these people testified through their examples, life is to be enjoyed, not just endured, and lived, not just survived. In Oddly Enough - Touching and Humorous Stories from the Olden Days, you will find that although times change, the human spirit remains the same, and stories of humor, love, selflessness, and sacrifice transcend the years.

                                                  Mike Shawnesay was a self-made man, handsome, wealthy and strong, a real man’s man. He had spent years building a Construction company – and burying his true feelings, doubts and fears. Then came Chris.

This is a contemporary novel that shatters the old stereotypes, and a must read for all.

                                                  This book was read by both myself and my parents and I plan on pasing it on to freinds. It is the 1st book I have read that takes you through the complete human emotion. The complexity of the character's emotional roller coaster ride takes you from one end of the spectrum to the other of the human psyche. ...if you are a male that has ever had to struggle with a disfunctional family or question your sexuality this is a must read. But it is an entertaining book for any adult. The author really makes the characters come alive and you can get close and personal whith them, the book [pulls] you into the story. I found it hard to put down!

                                                  Is this a love story? I can't remember when I enjoyed a book so much. The story moves along but pauses for empathy, a rare quality. The lead character experiences some very uncomfortable moments and does some very uncomfortable things, read at your own risk. However, the over-riding feeling in this story is lurid and sweet, reminding me of what it was like to feel passion at a young age. The insights into the emotions and motivations were enlightening. The love story was absorbing.

                                                  5 out of 5 stars Suprisingly honest and hard hitting!.......2001-03-28

                                                  This was one of the most shockingly up-front and racey books I've read in a long time. This story may be taboo, but you can't stop reading it! It's like being on a carnival ride, you want to cover your eyes, but you just have to keep looking. The writing is plain and the reading is fast. You can't help but like the characters, which in and of itself, is the most surprising aspect of the story. Definately worth reading!

                                                  5 out of 5 stars This story drew me in..........2001-03-23

                                                  I predict this story will have a profound effect upon the world and how people view different types of love relationships. this story drew me in, I read for 3 nights straight! I couldn't put it down. The story itself is touching, mysterious and builds to an ending that surprised and inspired me. I would love to read more by this author!

                                                  Oddly Enough by Savannah North will live up to its reputation as the ' Underground Novel of the Millenium'. This is an important subject matter which needed to be addressed. In the beginning I found that this read is not for the faint of heart, however, it was a real page-turner, which I found difficult to put down. I loved the way the author depicted each character, which gave them separate colors of their own. Many people in the world today can relate in some way to this story or it's characters. It was a bit of a cliff-hanger before the story ended, with redemtion at the end. I strongly reccommend that if you have not read Oddly Enough by Savannah North, get your feet wet and jump right in.
