Research book with enormous coverage.......2005-02-27

Scope of this book is enormous. It is like an encyclopedia - which is why I got the PDF version; cannot imagine carrying it around. It is not like a college book on Internal Audit, where for example, they take you through the business cycles (e.g., revenue cycle), but that be gotten elsewhere. The coverage is excellent on both the Financial and IT side for SOX - and for internal audit departments not following SOX.

The update for SOX is meaningful and through. If anyone wanted a history of internal audit, and the impact of SOX to the professional, great overview. While expensive, this is a reference manual and hard to imagine a subject where at worse, an excellent introduction is given to the topic at hand. I have not seen anything near as comprehensive, and well integrated so it is not just a bunch of chapters thrown together. Would seem to make the 5th edition obsolete because of so much new content.

Book Description

A realistic guide to strong and steady investments that have proven themselves worthy over the years
Investors tend to forget about the slow and steady growth of value or blue-chip stocks when quick run-ups in the market occur. These quick spikes rarely last long and investors then return to the comfort of blue-chip stocks. This book offers readers the information needed to create a strong portfolio that combines safety and predictability for the long-term. Focusing on the steady growth of value, or blue chips, readers will hold this guide close to their wallets as they look to find more reliable investments. With the volatility of the stock market, Investing with Giants helps investors develop benchmarks so they can pick both recommended stocks and personal potential favorites that will consistently grow over a lifetime. With an in-depth view of ten publicly traded companies that have stood the test of time and additional resources for research, this book deals with stocks that have proven themselves worthy over the years, not just days.

an important reminder.......2002-06-28

Investing With Giants takes us back to our investing roots and reminds us that investing requires due diligence. Mead helps the reader return to a "think before you leap" model of investing.

Great for new investors.......2002-06-14

As an investment club member for 6 years, I found this book exceptionally helpful in better understanding how to evaluate stocks in this uncertain market. Using the annual report section helped me to review several stocks from a closer vantage point. It helped demystify the numbers. Linda Mead writes in a very readable manner making a dry subject much more interesting.

First rate investing primer.......2002-05-13

This is an excellent book for people who don't have a lot of experience as an investor. Mead examines notable blue chip companies and walks readers through their history and how it relates to the company stock. She explains what to look for in annual reports and how to figure out which companies are right for different investment needs.

Book Description

Knowledge Discovery from Legal Databases is the first text to describe data mining techniques as they apply to law. Law students, legal academics and applied information technology specialists are guided thorough all phases of the knowledge discovery from databases process with clear explanations of numerous data mining algorithms including rule induction, neural networks and association rules. Throughout the text, assumptions that make data mining in law quite different to mining other data are made explicit. Issues such as the selection of commonplace cases, the use of discretion as a form of open texture, transformation using argumentation concepts and evaluation and deployment approaches are discussed at length.

Book Description

This second volume of Frontiers articles contains a broad array of fascinating topics. The first four
papers focus on the Sun, the origin of the solar system and the early history of the Earth. The fifth, on komatiites, is also relevant to the early Earth but also forms a nice transition to three articles that focus on subduction and mantle processes. The final three articles focus on changes in our surface environment including biogeochemical cycles, the evolution of hominids and, finally, the future threat posed by near Earth asteroids.

Book Description

Photoemission is one of the principal techniques for the characterization and investigation of condensed matter systems. The field has experienced many developments in recent years, which may also be put down to important achievements in closely related areas.
This timely and up-to-date handbook is written by experts in the field who provide the background needed by both experimentalists and theorists. It represents an interesting framework for showing the connection between theory and experiment by bringing together different concepts in the investigation of the properties of materials.
The work addresses the geometric and electronic structure of solid surfaces and interfaces, theoretical methods for direct computation of spectra, experimental techniques for data acquisition, and physical models for direct data interpretation. It also includes such recent developments as full hemisphere acceptance in photoemission, two-electron photoemission, (e, 2e) electron diffraction, and photoelectron-electron/hole interaction.

Book Description

Pink steam rises from the vats of melting goo in the Vincent Price 3-D horror classic, House of Wax. Railroad buffs know "pink steam" as the first blast from a newly christened steam engine, which appears pink as it spews out rust. And now Pink Steam, the book, reveals the intimate secrets of Dodie Bellamy's life--sex, shoplifting, voyeurism, writing. Like L. Frank Baum's Dorothy, in The Wizard of Oz, Bellamy grows up in a dreary Midwestern town. She's a bossy, queer child who identifies with the freaks she watches on The Twilight Zone. Her father's a carpenter obsessed with Kipling's The Jungle Book--the only book he's ever read. Her mother is a pragmatist who longs for a normal daughter. Eventually Bellamy hurls out of Indiana and tumbles into Oz--San Francisco's bohemian Mission District. As she attempts to reconcile her working class origins with the privileged insanity of her arts community, everything crackles and blurs. True confession bleeds into high theory into trash cinema (soundtrack provided by David Bowie and Oliver Messiaen). Kathy Acker, Diane Arbus, and Bernadette Mayer are the fates who guide Bellamy as she searches for a voice in a whirlwind of sizzling images and strange encounters. In this world a woman can turn into a giant reptile, **** a demon, lust for King Kong--and still feel repressed, constricted. As she battles on the frontiers of uber-female vision, Bellamy tries on genre after genre--horror tale, essay, letter, academic novel, the fortune cookie tags of daily life. But, like off the rack clothing, no form fits exactly right. Pink Steam barges beyond the clichés of gendered experience. Unafraid of the personal, unabashed by politics and sex, Bellamy makes confusion her OK Corral. "When the legend is greater than the truth, print the legend." Dodie Bellamy is the girl who shot Liberty Valance.

Occasional Brillance In Overwritten Blast of Verbiage.......2007-05-14

Dodie Bellamy's PINK STEAM is essentially twenty-two semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical essays thrown out over the course of one hundred ninety page to no particular point except the language itself--which is in this case a tangled effort to emulate Burroughs and other of his ilk. The end result is largely that of prose-poem pretentions.

This is not to say that Bellamy has no talent. She does indeed: her characters are often memorable, her images are often imaginative, and she can turn a phrase with the best of them. Obsessed with pop culture, her reflections run the gamut from Judy Garland to David Bowie to Sylvia Plath and from King Kong to Doris Day to Barbie, and the way in which she looks upon these icons is often unexpected. Her characters, which range from lusted-over gay friends to compulsive shoplifters to transient lovers, are often fascinating as well.

But there is no getting around the fact that PINK STEAM is incredibly, incredibly over-written. Bellamy seems determined to endow every inch of her prose with poetic qualifications. Metaphors, similes, ironies, changes in spacing between words, shifts between first and third person, and idiosyncratic punctuations don't so much crowd the pages as they meet for unpleasant confrontation. At one point she writes "Any woman who let's a man get her under his thumb is a fool." It is indicative of the book that I did not know if the incorrect use of "let's" was deliberate or accidental. It is perhaps even more indicative of the book that I didn't much care one way or another.

I can't say that I'd call it pink, but I'd certainly call it steam, and I do mean steam in great abundance. This is a "niche market book" that virtually redefines the word "niche." I give it three stars on the basis of Bellamy's occasional flashes of brilliance--but I cannot recommend it in any general sense.

ADDICTING.......2004-08-31

Pink Steam is amazing. This collection is day glow, polka-dotted, sickly sweet like button candy, but with a tanas root under-taste, like those milkshakes Doctor Saperstein prescribed the heroine in "Rosemary's Baby". There is a diabolical quality to the writing, which shakes the reader up, forcing us to pay attention. Although experimentation reigns supreme, there is an inevitability to the stories that gives them propulsion, and keeps the reader hungry for more ...the woven texture of combined pop cultural reference, personal exploit and sharp insight locks together to form an original object d'arte. This tapestry creates a living, breathing web, speckled with dew and sweat, catching light and refracting it into blood-jewels, bubble gum pieces with liquid insides. This is a book you'll come back to again and again.
