5 out of 5 stars Invaluable resource.......2002-03-09

As a financial practictioner,

I have applied many of the concepts from this wonderful work. One of the good things about the book is that it addresses not only the technical aspect of valuing business but also the art form as well. The book has assisted me in valuing companies in several industries and I consider it to be a one of the resources that is a staple of my practice.

Much thanks to the authors

5 out of 5 stars From Bowman's Accounting Report November 1998........1999-01-23

"One of the challenges to providing business valuation services is educating inexperienced staff. Without adequate training, leveraging this profitable and growing service can be a problem. A new book by CPAs Gary Jones and Dirk Van Dyke helps.

The Business of Business Valuation is a primer for those just getting started in valuations. It covers the reasons for doing a valuation, the process and components, the valuation expert's role, as well as marketing and pricing. Even experienced valuators can benefit from the discussion of valuation consulting -- helping a business owner increase value, through smart management and policy, to achieve, overall personal, family and employee goals.

The anatomy of a business valuation is particularly helpful, as are the three sample valuation reports. You'll also find discussions of trends, ethics and coursework for porspective valuators."

5 out of 5 stars The Most Important Valuation Book You Will Buy.......1998-12-27

This is the single most-important valuation book you will buy. It teaches you how to build a successful business valuation practice.

Gary Jones is a marketing genius, and this book contains far more marketing tips than you will find anywhere else.

I have a bookcase full of books about valuations. I've read this book twice: cover-to-cover. And it's packed so full of practical know-how that I keep discovering new, profitable ideas each time I dip back into it.

You may already know how to do business valuations. But if you want to build a successful practice...buy and read this book.

5 out of 5 stars Great book for valuators and all business owners........1998-09-11

"The Business of Business Valuation is a powerful book and it's about time. It is written in a clear and easy to understand style. What's exciting is the breadth of audience it addresses. This book is not just for valuation professionals...it is clearly for all business owners, employees, educators and students.

While most books on valuation only address the mechanics and components of the process, Jones and Van Dyke have given us directions on the business itself. The non-practitioner will especially benefit from this book by gaining insight into the process, how to select a professional and manage the relationship.

It is often said, `Information is power,' and this book is a must-have tool to obtaining an optimum result whether you are a valuator, business appraiser or the most important element -- the client.

This book is exactly what our industry needs at this time to continue fueling the flame of growth. Bravo!! Jones, Van Dyke and McGraw-Hill for having the courage to write and publish this cutting edge work."

5 out of 5 stars A recipe for successý.......1998-09-11

"Gary Jones had provided a recipe for success for those considering adding business valuations to their practices. There are many technical, `how-to' books and courses in the valuation field; Gary's approach, however, is unique, comprehensive and valuable to aspiring business valuation practitioners."

            Book Description

            A major goal of hearing research is to explain how the human auditory system normally functions and to help identify the causes of and treatments for hearing impairment. Experimental approaches to this research make use of animal models that are developed, evaluated and validated to determine what can be generalized from one species to another. By investigating the structures, physiological functions and hearing capabilities of various species, comparative hearing research establishes the biological and evolutionary context for such models. This volume brings together our current understanding of the auditory systems of two of the major vertebrate classes, fish and amphibians. It overcomes the differing theoretical and experimental paradigms that underlie most work on these groups and treats both fish and amphibians together in most chapters in order to address broader comparative issues.

                Book Description

                Modeling of flow and transport in groundwater has become an important focus of scientific research in recent years. Most contributions to this subject deal with flow situations, where density and viscosity changes in the fluid are neglected. This restriction may not always be justified. The models presented in the book demonstrate immpressingly that the flow pattern may be completely different when density changes are taken into account. The main applications of the models are: thermal and saline convection, geothermal flow, saltwater intrusion, flow through salt formations etc. This book not only presents basic theory, but the reader can also test his knowledge by applying the included software and can set up own models.

                    Book Description

                    This up-to-date review also serves as an introduction to Heavy Quark Effective Theory (HQET) - a new approach to heavy quark physics problems in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Heavy quark physics is one of the most active areas of high-energy physics, especially at this time when B-factories at SLAC and KEK are producing high-quality results, and yet other facilities are being developed. HQET has already led to significant progress in our understanding of heavy quark physics during the last 10 years. The book also contains a detailed discussion of the methods of calculation used in HQET, along with numerous illustrations.

                    5 out of 5 stars Incredible wealth of exercises. 1/2 the price of the video!.......2004-03-06

                    First of all, I'm not a die-hard Jaco fan. Hell, he isn't even in my personal top 10 list. So my reason for giving this 5 stars is not "because it's Jaco"; it's because this package contains a WEALTH of bass knowledge and exercises designed for the non-beginner, jam packed into a 36 page book and single CD.

                    The contents of this book/CD package were directly taken from the video edition of the same title. But the book/CD stands alone as a separate product; you DO NOT need the video to make sense of it. In fact after I bought this, it was still years before I got to see the video.

                    The book starts off with a quick review of the scales and modes, and the rest consists of transcriptions of all the exercises and solo pieces found on the CD. One thing that sets some of these excercises apart from other books is that they're fun and musical, not boring and mechanical. You may have learned all your scales and modes before, but these exercises have you practicing and playing them in new ways and in new position. Jaco also covers the use of chords, harmonics, playing in odd beat divisions, and plays a few solo songs that really put it all together with groove. All of the exercises are GREAT for helping you think-out-side-the-box.

                    Aside from the exercises, the CD also contains some of the band-performed music found on the video and interview clips. Jaco talks about subjects like the importance of reading sheet music (a good reason why this book contains no tablature), how he became a bass player, and playing different musical styles.

                    Considering this book/CD set has pretty much everything from the video and costs half as much, I'd actually recommend this product over the video itself.

                    5 out of 5 stars Insight into Jaco's Technique from the man himself!.......2003-01-26

                    This instructional book gives many exercises from Jaco himself. It has a cd that comes with it that helps out. It covers harmonics (has a chart) and ways to improve your left hand speed, precision, and clarity. The book itself is clear enough that you can use it to teach yourself. Though the book goes with the video (of the same name) so it's good to get both. Also, on the cd is a jam session with jaco and an interview. All in all it's a great value and no jaco collection is complete without it.

                    Book Description

                    When twenty-five-year-old Laura Smart moves from Cleveland to Manhattan to take a job at a magazine, she hopes the world will become her oyster-her Fendi Oyster (this year's must-have handbag) to be exact.

                    Instead, Laura has to deal with the demands of her self-absorbed and quirky boss-the talk-show host turned magazine editor, Cassandra Lovelace. Laura, a Holly Golightly-type character, finds her own romantic and professional redemption in a novel that hilariously sends up the sex-and-celebrity-obsessed world of contemporary women's magazines.

                    Written from the insider's perspective of a former senior editor of Glamour, Manhattan on the Rocks is a sharply observed comedy of manners with a take-no-prisoners spirit. This is a novel for every woman who has ever known in her heart that-even as her world is collapsing all around her-she needs only a Glamour makeover to save her life from ruin.

                    4 out of 5 stars Typical, but cute chick lit.......2007-01-07

                    I thought this was a really cute, light and fluffy read!!!! Typical chick lit, but a fun read!!!!

                    I liked the main character alot and was interested to see what happened to her over the course of the book!!!

                    Not the best I've read, but by far, not the worst!!!

                    1 out of 5 stars 'Manhattan' does NOT rock.......2005-08-09

                    This book had all the potential to develop more in terms of its storyline, but strangely, towards the end of the novel, I found myself not caring what happened to the protagonist, and not at all involved in any or all of her activities and pursuits.

                    The plot is hackneyed and contrived at best, in addition to being overwhelmingly cliched. Reading the novel was seriously and literally painful because of the abundance of typing, spelling and editorial errors; mistakes occur on nearly every page, if not every other page! One wonders how an award winning journalist could let slip all the errors and omissions that would have been picked up with more careful editing and proofreading. Surely, editorial staff have much to answer for too!

                    I'm not sure if this book should be allowed to remain on the shelves of any bookstore, let alone still continue to be sold at all. I would seriously recommend a total recall of all copies of this book from bookstores, followed by a thorough editing process before unleashing it onto an unsuspecting public. This is an outrageus assault on the reading standards and literacy expectations of literate people!

                    Book Description

                    Jessica Wakefield and Lila Fowler are headed for the Big Apple! They're psyched for a week of Broadway shows, superstretch limos, major shopping...and New York guys. Jessica's fun begins the moment she steps on the plane and finds she's sitting next to rock star Ryder Mitchell. There's an immediate spark between Jessica and Ryder--in fact, things are so hot, they promise to meet for an ultra-romantic date at the top of the Empire State Building in three days.



                    But things don't go as planned. The staff at their ritzy hotel mistakes Lila for Princess Charlotte, a visiting royal. Lila and Jessica don't mind the VIP treatment...until a gang of kidnappers mistakes Lila for the princess, too--and holds the girls for ransom!

                    Jessica finds herself sitting next to a rock star and Lila is mad at Bo because he won't meet her in New York. Jessica's plane almost crashes and it landes in New orlenes. She goes on a date with Ryder{the rock star}and he tells her that he is getting engaged in new York. Jessica got mad but they up on the trip to New York. Also Bo suprises Lila in New York. I could tell u wat happened next but u wouldn't hav to read the book. But i promise u it one of the best Sweet Valley books. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                    5 out of 5 stars love it, love it, love it!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-07-03

                    all that and more!!! i really liked the part when jessica and lila kept blaming each other for the kidnapping. i recommend this book to any true sweet valley fan. ...

                    5 out of 5 stars Da Bomb!.......2001-11-13

                    This book is da bomb!:) And I want you to read it! It's a romantic and shocking book that you don't want to miss!

                    5 out of 5 stars Just one word. WOW.......1999-07-01

                    In the maximity of the SV books, I'd have to say that Jessica Takes Manhattan was one of the best. Probably what I wanted most was to see Lila actually carted off and never seen again. But after her drama in the SVU series, I regret my opinion.

                    5 out of 5 stars This is definately one book not to miss!.......1999-02-28

                    This was a brilliant book. I thought that the fact that Lila got first class treatment for half the holiday was excellant. But when Jessica and Lila escaped, I thought that it was a bit far fetched as the kid-knappers would have just shot at them. But I still think that any fan should have this book in thier collection!
