Book Description

This major historical investigation analyzes the causes and consequences of debt and deficits from the late 17th century to the 1990s. The internationally acclaimed group of authors examines the ideas and events that have changed economist's, politician's and policy makers' views on public debt and deficits over the last 250 years. Why was tax collection so much more effective in eighteenth century England than in the Ancien Regime in France? What is 'Gladstonian Public Finance', and how far was Gladstone responsible for it? If taxes are cut, do people save the proceeds because they (or their descendants) will one day have to find an equal amount to service the debt? Was there a Keynesian Revolution at the Treasury, or has its post-war performance drawn on older fiscal traditions? Is war the inevitable engine of developments in public finance or can peacetime be just as fruitful? This scholarly and stimulating book looks for answers to all these questions and more. Debt and Deficits in an important addition to the literature as politicians and government officials try to reduce budget deficits as they become increasingly aware that we cannot sustain previous spending patterns. This book will be welcomed by professional economists, economic historians and government officials.

Funny, suspenseful, romantic; all rolled into one!.......1999-08-07

Think back to when you were 16. Do you still remember how it was like to worry about stuff that would worry 16 year olds? Compared to Jeremy Feeple's character, I'll bet the problems that worried us all back then would never even come close! I've read Ninja High School since its earliest printings way back in 1990, and instantly fell in love with the story line! It's great to know that the series is still out there! Funny, suspenseful, romantic; all rolled into one great comic series that readers are sure to keep interest in for a long time! A must for all manga fans out there!

The Antarctic Press's greatest series - collected!.......1998-10-05

This is the first collection of the incredible comic book series, which contains issues #1-3 1/2. The story is awesome, a tale of intergalactic relations, rivalry of ninja clans, a 16 year old boy who is forced into a ridiculous mess against his will, and steam! Manga fans will love it.

Book Description

The 19th-century steam railway epitomized modernity's relentlessly onrushing advance. Ian Carter delves into the cultural impact of the train. Why, for example, did Britain possess no great railway novel? He compares fiction and images by canonical British figures (Turner, Dickens, Arnold Bennett) with selected French and Russian competitors: Tolstoy, Zola, Monet, Manet. He argues that while high cultural work on the British steam railway is thin, British popular culture did not ignore it. Detailed discussions of comic fiction, crime fiction, and cartoons reveal a popular fascination with railways tumbling from vast (and hitherto unexplored) stores of critically overlooked genres.

Book Description

Whatever her missteps and stumbles along the way, the journey of Oprah Gail Winfrey from Hattie Mae's pig farm in Mississippi to the pinnacle of wealth, power, and success in American television is a journey we must all admire. In looking for the secret to her achievement, too many observers focus on her poise or brashness or honesty. The secret is much more complex, as is Oprah herself. There is an inner strength of spirit and a belief in self that is as astonishing as the outer trappings of her success. Oprah is more akin to Maya Angelou, Deepak Chopra, and Marianne Williamson than she is to Phil Donahue or Sally Jesse Raphael.

Customer Reviews:

Oprah Winfrey, the real story.......2004-10-23

An informative, tell-all book about superstar Oprah Winfrey. It was hard to put it down because it was so interesting. It gives a good deal of trivia about her life, especially her humble beginnings. Did you know that she was raised in Mississippi on a pig farm by her grandmother? And her name was meant to be Orpah, a biblical name, but was misspelled on her birth records?
This book gives these types of facts and more!

Inspiration for the Downtrodden.......2004-04-12

What I love about this book is how it shares the painful years of Oprah's life, and how she used her spirit of courage, optimism, faith, and passion to create the life she now has. This book is a tremendous inspiration for anyone who feels that life's so-called obstacles CAN be overcome, once you realize that you are bigger than any obstacle you may face. Oprah is an example of this life lesson. It is about turning your tragedy into triumphs, speaking out, having the guts to face and deal with the circumstances facing you, rather than crumble in the face of adversity. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a real-life example of a human being that CAN triumph, no matter wht they have been through.
Barbara Rose, author of, `Individual Power' and `If God Was Like Man'

I'm not a fan of unauthorized biographies........2002-10-23

This is a good book from two points:
One, it explains indepth teh business strategy behind Harpo Studios and those who helped Oprah not only attain her vision but expand it.
Two, the earliest chapters have good information that she has publicly revealed herself about her beginnings in both life and business.
Other than that, I think it's sleazy to write these kinds of books without someone's at the least tacit cooperation. Though this doesn't approach some of the sniping of say a Tamborelli book, there are still visble comments that one could attribute to a jealous/envious/salacious writer....

Oprah is GREAT!....but I'm not so sure this book is.......2000-03-22

I just finished reading this Oprah book, and I have to be honest. I love Oprah to death and I admire her greatly, but I think this book was poorly written and organized. There were many events in Oprah's life, but in reading this biography, I was confused often as to the exact particulars of many incidents. An incredible book could be written about Oprah's life, but I don't think this book does a very good job at it. I guess I will just have to wait for the day Oprah comes out with her own autobiography!

An American Success Story...and a cure for depression!!.......1999-08-08

I listened to the audiotape with great interest, right about the time I was writing the chapter on Depression in my own book. This clearly shows how even under the most adverse and seemingly hopeless circumstances, personal belief and confidence count for everything and can accomplish anything!! Should be a stirring wake up for those who suffer depression and feel they can't pull themselves out. In "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" I talk about the various treatments for depression. Once the cycle is started, medical treatment is required. However among my own patients, it is usually something like an example showing "how it is possible" to get them to believe that the feelings of worthlessness are destructive lies from the inside. Once a person has this "proof of example" they acquire the inner strength to the corner with new found belief in themselves and their capabilities. Oprah has battled many adverse circumstances, and even after acheiving what society would term "phenomenal success". She comes through each disaster like a phoenix-bird up from the ashes. Say what you want about her various reputations for being tough and mean...people its a tough world, and it takes a confident and driving woman to concretize her personal dreams! This book has a simple plot: this one amazing woman faces enough bad luck from her truly humble beginnings for any "self-pitier" to write volumes on "my excuse for failure: how the world screwed me". She then consistently and gracefully flies through each challenge carrying seemingly inexhaustible inner strength and the focus of a laser-beam. She ignores all obvious outward indicators of hopelessness,impending doom, and instead of quitting each time when most of us would, she follows her own instincts. Like her or not, her life is an amazing story of what any American is capable of by shedding the shroud of excuses and tales of woe.....All the best to Ms. Winfrey and to Mr. Mair...though she may not be totally pleased with his candid depiction, and even if the stories are not completely accurate, this tome paints a very admirable picture of our greatest contemporary American success story...Kenneth Giuffre MD, author "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain"

Customer Reviews:

Touches a lot of areas.......2004-07-11

I've always been leary of books that tell you step by step every value to input. I like the format that incourages experimentation. A lot of ground is covered here, giving a glimpse at many features of 3ds, but it should be a good springboard towards the confindence to explore the ever deepening waters of 3d software.

Many of the tutorials that ship with MAX haven't been updated since version 4 (in some cases version 3) and therefore miss out on some crucial new features.

Not a beginners real world approach.......2004-05-28

For an author who teaches and works with forensics, I'm amazed at Mr. Kalwick's lack of attention to detail and the expected proofing of his material which really reflects on his professional credentials. The first four chapters of this book give you a basic overview of the program, no problems there. Chapter 5 however begins the meat of the book, an actual project, the whole reason I bought the book but which within a few pages will have you pulling your hair out and throwing the book at the wall because it's not written on a beginners level, step by step, command by command and if that wasn't bad enough it's full of functional mistakes which renders it useless to a beginner from the outset. You can't get a refund once the CD seal is broken but you can't really get into the book without the CD and only then do you realize you've wasted your money. If I can help others avoid my mistake I'll have justified my futile purchase. My solution! Discreet's tutorial which comes with the software is suffice and if I was to recommend another book go with the "3ds max 6 bible" as a reference publication.
