"
The bestselling author of
The O'Reilly Factor,
The No Spin Zone, and
Who's Looking Out for You? talks straight to kids this time. He is as demanding, direct, and wry as ever -- but he's also more revealing too, sharing candid snapshots of his own childhood throughout.
Bill O'Reilly, a former schoolteacher, now an award-winning broadcast news journalist, husband, and father of two, joins forces with an experienced educator to bring you, America's youth, a code of ethics by which to live. In this latest book, Bill takes to task bullies, cheaters, advertisers who target you irresponsibly, and parents who fight for their children to win undeserved honors instead of earning them on their own merit.
He lays bare the unvarnished truths about sex, money, smoking, drugs, alcohol, and friends. What he has to say about these issues may very well surprise you. He offers coping devices for those enduring a divorce, struggling with teacher, parent, or sibling relationships, and planning their futures. He also shares wisdom on such subjects as death, politics, and God.
Whether you take the tests he's provided, take the advice he doles out, or just take a cue from the personal stories he shares, you're bound to make smarter choices in your life, and that's all Bill asks for.

This is a great book.......2007-10-07
I was hesitant to buy this book cause of all the bad reviews, but i did anyway; and im glad i did. Im 19 and this book gave me a lot of inspiration and wisdom. The book is smart but it appeals directly to kids my age (and younger too.) He talks about a lot of issues that most kids feel like they cant bring up to their parents, such as drugs, sex, alchohal that kindove thing. But anyway im really happy i ignored those negative comments, and you should too if your thinking of buying the book. I notice that a lot of the ppl giving the bad reviews are doing it because they dont like Bill, because the book i read was one of the best books on the subject of teen issues. So buy this book for your kids, i promise you wont regret it!

You can't judge a book..........2007-10-05
...by the reviews of a lot of people who have *never read it*. Like many of O'Reilly's harshest critics these "reviewers" base their analysis on third-hand opinions culled from the propaganda found on extreme left-wing websites; without looking at all to the source material. If you're the type who bases his/her understanding of current events on slogans from bumper stickers shilled at the campus bookstore then this book isn't for you.
Kids have a rough time of it, especially in school settings. It's great to see a public figure with experience in the classroom reaching out to kids with solid common-sense advice to help them navigate reality.
it's good to know Bill O'reilly cares.......2007-10-02
I loved this book and I brought it to school and reviewed it for my class.
Thanks Bill for the A+ I got and for remembering kids and this book for us.
Keep This Man Away From Kids!!!!.......2007-09-28
This man may have the most popular news show in America but that is because he appeals to simple war mongering Americans. He does his upmost to undermine the standards of the American press. Don't buy this book and if you see him near any school yards, call the police immediately!!
A LIFE PRESERVER FOR OUR KIDS........2007-06-26

HE GIVES PRACTICAL ADVICE THAT KIDS CAN UNDERSTAND IN THIS WORLD OF UNCERTIANTY, WHEN EVERYTHING HAS TO BE PC, AND THOSE WHO ARE IN HIGHER LEARNING SOMETIMES DOES NOT HAVE THEIR BEST INTEREST AT HEART. GIVE THIS BOOK TO ALL YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, IT CAN HELP THEM SURVIVE.
Book Description
There's no one more blunt, more opinionated, or more outspoken than the average teen. Except, of course, Bill O'Reilly, veteran star journalist, anchor of the most watched cable news program on TV,
New York Times bestselling author, husband, father of two and former teacher.
In his latest book, O'Reilly talks straight to the readers most likely to appreciate his direct style -- teens. To be sure he's addressing their most pressing concerns, he responds to actual letters from kids who tune in to his radio and TV shows regularly and collaborates with an award-winning former high school teacher and college professor Charles Flowers.
If you're a kid and you're listening to this audio, consider sharing it with your parents -- they'll understand you better.
If you're a parent and you're listening to this audio, definitely share it with your kids -- you'll sleep better.

Book Description
Developments in theories of financial markets and institutions, using the tools of the economics of uncertainty and of contracts, as well as results in game theory, have, over the last two decades, constituted an exciting and burgeoning field of research. This collection of readings draws together highlights of the 'second generation' literature in this area, emphasizing the theoretical, institutional, and policy-oriented regulatory implications of some of the key modelling techniques in the field. The collection divides into seven sections covering the monitoring role of banks and other intermediaries; liquidity demand and the role of banks and the government; bank runs and financial crises; bank regulation; inter-bank competition and bank--firm relationships; comparative financial systems; and imperfect credit markets and the macroeconomy. Each section comprises four articles previously published in top-ranking economics and finance journals, plus a discussion by a prominent scholar, who provides a synthesis and critique of the literature, and suggests promising directions for future research and application of results.

Excellent Book. Advanced and Up to Date reference.......2005-07-19
This book is a nice mix of intuitive explanation and rigorously proved results. It gives a very good overview of the issues involved and can form a useful tool for a researcher in this area. Not only does it tell the state of the art, but a perceptive researcher can also identify areas of future research.
Overall, a great reference.

FreeHand MX Visual QuickStart Guide.......2007-03-31
A good and complete book for beginners and intermediate users
Adaptation of help file not quite a QuickStart.......2003-11-24
I would have rated this book a one. I settled for two stars as I did actually learn a few things from it. This book is quite obviously an adaptation of a FreeHand 10 book (which I understand Sandee has written) as there are some remnants of v.10 functionality that has been changed and updated in MX. Ms. Cohen seems to have missed these. Inconsistencies, unnecessary repetition, gaping holes (Polygon options in the Object panel) and incorrect information - Page coordinates start at the top left of the page?
As an educator myself I find the sequence of information to be unintuitive; working with views before you even have anything on a page to view becomes a bit conceptual and difficult to grasp for the beginner.
Sandee, like almost everyone who writes a book on computer illustration, claims she has the answers to master the ever confusing Pen tool and Bézier curves, I understand them yet found myself reading Chapter 6's eight pages over and over again to figure out what her amazing insight was, especially with regard to connector curves. If you have never worked with a vector illustration package before, I would not recommend this book, you'd do better to print out the help file (which suffers from the same problems as this book), in fact, since they are so similar, I wonder if it's this book that is based on the help file or vice-versa. This book provides (almost) complete step-by-step instructions on using each tool and panel and Xtra and whatever (with some useful advanced functionality) but very little real life application or examples. It will probably serve me as a reference tool for particular functionality on certain tools but little else.
