Book Description
"Although it is widely recognized that the welfare of an individual is, in large part, based on a complex set of economic and social interactions, development policies do not always acknowledge these. These interactions can affect, and be affected by, the creation, existence, and dissolution of institutions within which the individual is situated: family, household, business, club, or commune, to name a few. For the first two institutions in this list, both the processes by which resources are allocated among individuals and the outcomes of those processes are commonly referred to as 'intrahousehold resource allocation.'"--from the Introduction
In this new volume from the International Food Policy Research Institute, economists, demographers, sociologists, and anthropologists collaborate in the study of how resources are allocated within households in developing countries and why it matters from a policy perspective. Surveying a broad body of theory and evidence, the contributors examine the many social and cultural factors that influence decisions at the family and household level about the allocation of time, income, assets, and other resources. Shedding new light on a process that is often hidden from view and difficult to measure, they show that a more complete understanding of intrahousehold behavior can increase the likelihood that policies will reach the people they are intended to affect--leading to better policies in areas such as food production and consumption, nutrition, natural resource management, and fertility.

"This book succeeds admirably in surveying a diverse body of theory and evidence on intrahousehold allocation. It is exceptionally well organized and cohesive for a collection of articles by so many authors."--Jere R. Behrman, University of Pennsylvania

Customer Reviews:
great book.......2000-10-18
This is a very good book that has a mix of economic and anthropology research. The focus is household economics. It has a section on modeling intrahousehold resource allocation, a section, a section on measuring the outcomes of that allocation, and a section on policy analysis. Well worth the money and the time to read!
Book Description
Pastors, speakers, and readers in general will enjoy this hilarious collection of jokes, one-liners, and amusing quotes both old and new.
Customer Reviews:
Cute book!.......2004-03-30
Humor is a tremendous asset. People who have a good sense of humor can deal with difficulties much better than people who don't have a sense of humor.
This neat little book is filled with lots of good jokes, one-liners, and amusing quotes that will humor you towards success. Highly recommended.

I think that this book deserves about a 20 out of 10!.......2000-04-20
"The Book of Greatest Movie Music" is one of the bestmovie theme books that you can get. It has many of mypersonal favorite songs like "Jurassic Park" and "Mission Impossible." The songs that appear in this book are not too hard--about level 6 and 7. The music is really is easy to read. That is that the notes are not too big, but not too small. I have about 5 other movie theme books and this one is the best of all. It leaves them all behind, or as my friend would say--It's "spiffy"--I think that this book is a five star book. I have only had this book for a few days and I think it's awesome!

Book Description
A balanced presentation combining theory, concepts, and tutorials is at the heart of this introduction to 3D computer modeling that is written to the latest version of Rhinoceros„µ, Release 3. Special emphasis is given to understanding theoretical issues on NURBS (nonuniform rational B-splines) curves and surfaces as well as practical issues on the use of Rhinoceros to construct and design 3D free-form models. Real-world applications of NURBS modeling and step-by-step Rhino tutorials help acquaint novices with key features and functions of the software. Advanced users will enjoy the comprehensive nature of the material as a reference for using Rhinoceros to work on their industrial and engineering design projects.
Customer Reviews:
If you want to learn Rhino ...........2006-09-08
This book provides plenty of examples, grouped in a context in which they will be used. Some Nurbs, modeling theory and troubleshooting tips. Enough to answer questions as you go through the text but not so much as to be overwhelming.
The only fly in the ointment in my opinion was the chapter on Flamingo. I thought that chapter was organized in an awkward manner.
Horrible.......2004-06-06
Do not buy this book. Instead buy the online Rhino video tips from Mcneel. I bought this book expecting to learn something only to discover that the stuff I learned was useless.
The author spends the majority of the book explaining in detail--like the help menu--the various functions of Rhino, and NURBS in general. He then attempts to use every possible command to create the joystick, toothbrush, toy car, and shoe projects.
Save your time and money.......2004-03-25
Numerous omissions and typos made for a very frustrating read. Mislabeled drawings and missing or erroneous instructions made exercises difficult to follow. Fundamental exercises were superficial and fragmented without logical development or context making retention difficult. Rhino's supplied Level 1 and Level 2 Training Materials are far superior in all regards. Don't waste your time and money. The publisher and author were e-mailed regarding problems but no response.
Somewhat Helpful.......2003-12-13
This book has a good overview and general explanation of how things are designed in 3D. It takes you through the commands and tools step by step, with surprisingly few misprints. The CD that comes with it has the free demo program, and some tutorials. However, the lack of a glossary makes it an unnecessarily tedious read for anyone not familiar with advanced geometry and math. My dictionary wasn't much help. More serious omissions became apparent as I tried to use Rhino, like the very short entry on Boolean Unions. He doesn't even mention that they can fail to work, much less offer any solutions. This book saved me some time learning basic tools, and helped with general concepts, and is probably better than not having a text at all. I haven't bought Rhino yet, so I can't compare this to the manual that comes with the program.
