    Book Description

    This course identifies the financial challenges faced by typical retirees and describes solutions to meet them. The first part of the text addresses the key challenges to financial security in retirement. Topics discussed include the financial challenges of retirement as well as strategies for meeting them. The second section is a case study that zeroes in on the central concern of every retiree: how to set up a budget and an income stream to last a lifetime. The third part addresses a topic rarely considered in the past: wealth accumulation in retirement. These topics are of critical importance because people retiring today have to finance retirements that are lasting as long as 15, 20 and even 30 years.

    Due to the recent passage of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 many Dearborn courses have been affected. A quick reference guide on the Tax Act has been created to explain the impact the Act has on these courses. A quick reference guide will be included with the purchase of this course.

                  Book Description

                  Financing Federal Systems provides a comprehensive selection of Edward M. Gramlich's essays, which have made a major contribution to public finance and macroeconomics over three decades. The structure of fiscal federalism is a major issue in most countries around the world. Developed economies are continually confronting the question of fiscal federalism as they consider harmonizing tax and trading arrangements. Emerging market economies are addressing these issues as they organize systems to promote growth and development. The book begins with a new introduction by the author which provides a clear and concise overview of the current issues in fiscal federalism. The book comprises some 23 papers and features empirical, theoretical and diagnostic work together with comprehensive evaluations of the fiscal federal systems in the United States, Australia, Sweden and Canada. It includes work on state and local government behavior, grant policies, macroeconomic policies, state tax limitations, federal tax policy, sub-national fiscal policy, infrastructure investment and public welfare policies. Financing Federal Systems will complement graduate and undergraduate courses in public finance and fiscal federalism. It will also appeal to policy makers and local government practitioners.

                      Book Description

                      Federal states are lively sources of data on the economics and politics of the public sector. In this rich collection of essays, some of which are previously unpublished, Stanley Winer makes use of these data from Canada, the United States and Australia to explore a variety of issues including: the political economy of intergovernmental grants, the evolution of tax structure, the re-assignment of fiscal powers among jurisdictions, the nature of special interest groups, and fiscally-induced internal migration. Other chapters exploit the unique Canadian experience with both fixed and flexible exchange rate regimes to test ideas about the macroeconomic consequences of subcentral fiscal policy in a small, open federal country, the role of the exchange rate mechanism in the international transmission of economic activity, and the relationship between monetary growth and political popularity. A concern with the integration of economics and politics is evident throughout this book, which will be essential reading for all economists and political scientists with an interest in the public sector.

                        Book Description

                        It is hard to think of anyone who has contributed so much and so widely to research in international public finance in the last 40 years as has Richard Bird. This volume of essays emerged from a conference dedicated to him. It also expands on our understanding of international public finance.

                        Bird's academic and applied work has always benefited from a far-reaching involvement with, and knowledge of, relevant policy issues in many countries around the world. The range of public finance issues to which he has contributed over the years covers practically the whole gamut of the public finance discipline: tax policy, tax administration, the interdependency between the two, intergovernmental fiscal relations, public expenditure policy, and fiscal management processes.

                        The topics covered in this book reflect the wide contributions of Richard Bird to the subject of international public finance, including original reviews of intergovernmental fiscal relations, fiscal policy, and tax evasion and tax administration, all with a special focus on transition and developing countries. The contributors, top scholars in their own right, deepen our own understanding of relevant problems and issues in international public finance, much like Richard Bird has been doing for many years. The book will be of interest to economists, policymakers and students.

                            5 out of 5 stars If you like Jazz you will want to read this book.......2002-12-08

                            Maybe the book contains a little more about Eddie Condon's up-bringing and family than you would want to know, but most of it is so interesting and informative that it is hard to put it down. The basic format is for him to relate quite detailed and entertaining descriptions of groups of muscians who played together at different times in different places, and often, what they played.

                            The hardships endured by the early and "pure" jazz musicians make one wonder how they survived. It was certainly a hand-to-mouth existence, and time and time again they had to help each other. Quite often, when some had work, others didn't, and the ways they would help each other were quite resourceful and often good for a few laughs.

                            As Condon describes his playing days, a reader will bump into many who would become the jazz greats of our time--early in their careers when they also endured their challenges to make a living and gain fame. The book does a good job of describing how they viewed their situation and the world around them.

                            I believe a reader will clearly learn a lot about the early history of jazz, and will be highly entertained while reading it.

                            5 out of 5 stars A hilariously funny account of the jazz age.......1998-08-06

                            If you've ever heard Eddie Condon emcee, then you can imagine what to expect from this book: a witty, funny, fast-talking recollection of Condon memories. He certainly had his views and was never shy of expressing them; but he always did it with charm and ready-made punchlines. So, get yourself a book brimming over with anecdotes and giving a really lively account of what it was like in white Chicago in the twenties and New York in the thirties. Meet all of Condon's favourite musicians in Condon's writing again. His book is informative (it covers the years from his boyhood to about 1944) and entertaining at the same time. Excellent reading.

                                          Book Description

                                          What is it like to be a scientist at the end of the twentieth century? How have shifts in power and in assumptions about knowledge affected scientific practice? Who are the people behind the new technologies, and how do they address the difficult moral and professional issues during a time of global change? Techno-Scientific Imaginaries explores these and other important questions at the approach of the new millennium.

                                          In these penetrating essays, twenty-four distinguished contributors from a broad range of fields present the voices of the scientists themselves—through interviews, conversations, and memoirs. We hear from Lithuanian physicists who discuss science after Communism and their own fantasies about what Western science is; a Japanese-American woman struggling with her ambivalence over designing nuclear weapons; political activists in India who examine relations among science, environmental politics, and government ideology in the aftermath of the Bhopal disaster; and many others, including biologists, physicians, corporate researchers, and scientists working with virtual reality and other cutting-edge technologies.

                                          The contributors to this volume are Mario Biagioli, Maria E. Carson, Gary Lee Downey, Joseph Dumit, Michael M. J. Fischer, Mary-Jo DelVecchio Good, Hugh Gusterson, Diana L. L. Hill, James Holston, Herbert C. Hoover, Jr., Gudrun Klein, Leszek Koczanowicz, Irene Kuter, Kim Laughlin, Rita Linggood, George E. Marcus, Kathryn Milun, Livia Polanyi, Christopher Pound, Simon Powell, Paul Rabinow, Kathleen Stewart, Allucquere Rosanne Stone, and Sharon Traweek.

                                                4 out of 5 stars very pleased.......2007-01-31

                                                So far I'm finding this book helpful. I've only used point and shoot cameras so far and I just purchased my first DSLR and have no experience with SLRs to begin with. I needed a book that DIDN'T assume previous photography (not snapshot) experience. This is it. I foudn the explanations helpful and am not worried about any technical errors mentioned in the previous reviews. Once I'm ready for more srious picture taking, I'll find other sources to make up for any of the mistakes there may be in this book. All in all I think this is a good beginner basics book that covers quite a bit of material.

                                                4 out of 5 stars Good overall guide to digital photography.......2007-01-02

                                                I like the overall layout, discussing various topics relating to digital photography. Have only read 1/2 the book and have already learned a lot, found new things to try, and new "accessories" I want/need to buy. :-)

                                                As others have noted he does have some errors, some so obvious you wonder how they weren't caught, but then I've found errors in virtually every book I've ever read so I don't fault him too much for that.

                                                I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking to understand more about how digital photography works, how to use their camera, memory, computer, etc. as an entire system to take, edit, store, and print photos.

                                                4 out of 5 stars For Beginners........2006-12-03

                                                How to Do Everything with Your Digital Camera, Fourth Edition( 2005)will change every beginner into an effective digital camera user. 424 pages divided into 4 parts : part I on Your Camera from pages 1 to 170 covers the history of digital camera and then goes into the process of shooting a photo( exposure, composition,etc); part II from page 171 to 234 covers the act of Transferring Images to the Computer( file formats, organizing); part III from pages 235 to 370 goes into Editing Images and finally part IV talks about Using Your Images from page 371 to page 428.

                                                So, about 40% of the text is devoted to the process of shooting a photo and about 31% to Editing. A good proportion to my mind.

                                                There is a Detailed table of contents per chapter that takes a little more than 6 pages and an 8-page Index for zeroing quickly on a particular piece of information.

                                                At the center of the book , there are 8 pages of color photos to explain corresponding techniques. Almost every page is illustrated with black and white photos to show as well as explain a technique.

                                                To illustrate the clarity of the language used , here is a sample :
                                                " what the heck is a 9.3mm lens ? If this digital camera were a 35mm camera its 9.3mm lens would give you the same picture as a 50mm camera, for instance.Many photographers know that 20-35mm is considered wide angle, while 50-90mm is thought to be "normal" - great for portraits, for instance. " Pages 10 and 11.

                                                In the Introduction , the author invites readers to write and send him questions and comments at his indicated e-mail address; he also mentions his website.

                                                A great book for Digital Photography beginners !
