The Entrepreneur's Guide To Preparing A Winning Business Plan and Raising Venture Capital

ASIN: 1580622070

Customer Reviews:

Don't be fooled or you will lose..........2001-12-14

"Financing the Venture" is difficult to read and comprehend. The presentation and illustrations are not always clear. It is hastily bundled together in an attempt to impress the reader about a few innovative thoughts (developed by others) and rearranged by an amateur writer. The book has two themes: how to prepare a business plan to an investor, and learning how and where to obtain financing.

First, if anyone dares to write his or her business plan HIS way, beware, you will be rebuffed quickly! Second, if you carefully review the writer's experience at raising capital, he seems to contradict his own methods for raising capital. Case in point: Mark Long sponsors lectures about how to make "quantum leaps" for entrepreneurs, yet he struggles, in one of his own projects, to raise just $350,000 of seed capital from forty-five investors!

Do not use this as a primary guide. For the one star rating, there are some ideas that may help focus your thoughts. Use this book as an auxilliary tool to complement your ideas and visions for preparing final plans and strategies.

Don't bother.......2001-09-20

This book not contain much useful information. What's more, it's structured very poorly and what little value the book does contain is hard to extract. Read Baird's Engineering Your Start-Up and Nesheim's High Tech Startup instead.

Too Few Ideas(tm), too many words.......2001-04-03

... I have started businesses, I have secured financing and I have read this book.

This book is extremely difficult to read as it is full of cumbersome sentences, unexplained catch phrases and unnecessary acronyms.

I don't dispute that the author presents some good ideas but they are hardly innovative - old standards gilded with unending lists and inane, obscure illustrations. This book is far from revolutionary as some of the "reviews" here suggest.

Don't bother!!

Riddled with self-promotion.......2001-03-26

This could have been a great guide --- except for the proliferation of "trade-marked" catch words. Every TM that I encountered was another irritant and reading interruption. I was also put off by some of the outdated data. Nonetheless, there are many luseful checklists and resource lists (which I hope will prove current). This inexpensive book is worth the price for those alone. I also bought "Angel Investing" by Mark Van Osnabrugge, which I found more credible and pleasant to read.

Not worth the effort.......2000-11-16

As an attorney in the world of venture capital financing, I picked this book up in hopes that it would lend insight into the world my clients live in and work in. I was extremely disappointed to find page after pages of trademarked and CAPITALIZED terms which were unhelpful and distracting. The layout of the book, including the graphics and charts, is extremely poor and lends nothing to the text. Try something else. Anything else.

Good Scientific Manual.......2005-01-19

Laboratory Manual for the Examination of Water, Waste Water, and Soil is a very informative. It starts out speaking about laboratory safety because this book talks about using chemicals and other substances that can be quite harmful. This was definitely one of the finer points of the book starting first and foremost with ways to avoid injury in the laboratory. Next the book goes into explaining how imperative quality control of the results of your laboratory work is. It explains that nothing is more important that the purity and accuracy of your results. The manual then goes into how to organize and catalogue your samples as to not get them confused with one another. In the next section the manual talks about how to take field measurements and how to properly and accurately record your results. It covers the entire test from ph, to calcium carbonate aggression. The last 2 sections go into how to take more detailed and accurate measurements back in the lab to the interpretation of all of the results that you come up with.
While this book uses great detail in explaining the subject on what it was written, as for any ability to hold my interest is where this was lacking. This manual was very dry it obviously was not written to be interesting or anything of that nature, But in all seriousness this was possibly one of the most boring books I have written. The language that was used in the manual was very technical and if you do not know the terminology then it is easy to get confused and lost. Plus this language adds to the boredom because of the frustration that comes with trying to understand the highly scientific terms. But for the purpose that this novel was written for it is perfectly written using precise detail and covering all of the bases and answering all of the questions that may arise in the course of testing water samples. I recommend this book for those who are interested in entering the field of water examination it is a excellent book for those who are looking to get there feet wet in this field. But if you are in search of a page-turner something to hold your attention or just a good read I suggest that you steer far away from this book it is not one that would hold any ones attention for any long stretch of time.

A very good handbook.......2000-10-27

This manual offers a very good basis not only for experts of water chemistry, water and waste water treatment and environmental protection but also for teachers and students of technical directions at colleges as well as at universities.

225 pages contain all factors playing an important role for examination of water, waste water and soil. 9 chapters include general remarks to laboratory safety (also regarding to waste treatment) and quality control. Furthermore requirements for analytical methods of the different water types and soil are mentioned. Further chapters deal with the preparation and technique of the sampling as well as their application in practice.

Chapter "Laboratory Measurements" describes all important methods in detail. So this book is a perfect handbook for the target group, even without using the attached extensive reference list.

In chapter 7 a huge variety of tables containing especially German legal and technical regulations is an clearly help for interpretation of received results.

This book can be highly recommended as a handbook for everybody dealing with water, waste water and soil treatment.

Book Description

This respected manual has enhanced students' knowledge in the laboratory setting for more than 40 years. To keep up with the ever-changing world in which we live, this edition now features modern techniques and procedures, with special emphasis on the role that soil plays in environmental concerns. Laboratory Manual for Soil Science summons investigation into the importance of soil management and conservation towards human survival on this planet.In this edition, the exercises have been refined but the theme still focuses on the application for agricultural and environmental areas. Reviewer comments: "The best manual commercially available"/ "One of the best manuals seen."; "Have used this manual for years and will continue to do so."; "Has been using the manual for 13 years and is pleased with its quality"

This lab manual is overpriced even by college textbook standards. It is nicely bound, but made with crap paper. The labs in it are made overly tedious with extra, uneeded steps to confuse a student.

Book Description

Renowned researchers summarize the current knowledge on ammonoid paleobiology. The book begins with a description of the systematic position of the Ammonoidea within the Cephalopoda, providing the phylogenetic framework for the rest of the book. Following discussions include soft- and hard-part morphology of ammonoids, rate of growth and ontogeny, and taphonomy and ecology. Closing chapters explore the distribution of ammonoids in time and space as well as their extinction at the end of the Cretaceous. With its diverse viewpoints and new material, this resource will benefit researchers and graduate students in paleontology, marine biology, and evolutionary biology.

Customer Reviews:

almost Exhaustively complete.......2001-11-18

the only weakness in this book is the very limited description concerning ammonite extinction. the other chapters of this massive book
are extremely interesting .i really like the description
of ammonite dimorphism .functional morphology, phylogeny, are are among the many interesting chapters of this book .this book is a window to a the lost world of the ammonites.

An excelent joint of ammonoid paleobiology.......1997-10-08

In this book we can search the more interesting topics on ammonoid paleobiology, which are treated in a deep form. The quality of the papers is without doubt one of the most succesfull books. I want to send my best greetings to the editosr and authors

Book Description

At 15, Jasmina Dervisevic had typical teenage problems. How could she talk to the boy she liked without making a fool of herself? Would she find the right shoes to wear to the high-school party?

She had heard the old stories about World War II, when neighbor turned against neighbor, but she seldom gave them a second thought. That had all happened ages ago, and she was living in a modern Yugoslavian city where Serbs and Muslims were close friends.

Then Yugoslavia began to break apart. The national army turned its guns against its own people, and Jasmina had to grow up fast.

Emotionally Powerful Book for the Classroom.......2007-03-15

This is the best account of the effects of war on a normal civilian that I have ever read and I've read hundreds of accounts on war! While "Anne Frank's Diary" and other accounts might be more detailed or more literary, they often fail to set the stage moving from "normality" to the realities of war and don't capture the many varied experiences of civilians such as staying in your home, fleeing as a refugee, and undergoing a siege unlike "River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet."

This is a first person memoir of Jasmina Dervisevic-Cesic and her experiences immediately before and during the Bosnian War. The tone of the writing is matter-of-fact and does not sensationalize; it is this matter-of-fact tone that gives so much power to the story as it describes the disintegration of Jasmina's town and life. If it used sensationalized facts or powerful rhetoric it might be considered more literary, but it would lose much of its value as a dispassionate account.

The story begins when Jasmina is 15 in the peaceful town of Visegrad, Bosnia. Moslems and Serbs live peacefully together. Her life was that of a typical teenage girl concerned with school, boys, family, and friends. She meets her future husband, Suljo, while swimming in the Drina River flowing through Visegrad. Suljo serves his conscription time in the Yugoslav Army and then leaves for work in France. During this time, the peaceful world of Visegrad begins to unravel. Like all wars, it begins in small ways and in some distant place. First Jasmina notices more Chetniks, radicalized Serbs, on the streets of Belgrade while visiting there - it unsettled her but was of no major concern to her life. Then Croatia declares independence and the Yugoslav Army goes to war to prevent their independence.

Jasmina describes it as a "television war" and again it didn't seem to have a direct impact on her life in Visegrad. This is so typical of normal human behavior that they aren't concerned with things that don't directly affect them and it gives Jasmina's account credibility. Then boys from Visegrad serving in the Yugoslav Army begin to lose contact with family members, and the people in the town become involved. Serbs in the town send their children to Serbia or leave as a family altogether. But life goes on for most people - friends got married and parties were important. Suljo returns home from France and proposes to Jasmina. They get married and honeymoon in Sarajevo. Their happy new marriage life is interrupted when the Yugoslav Army and Serb militia begin shooting into a nearby village. Now, war is something that can't be ignored. Young men leave to help the village and refugees flee it. In one event after another, Jasmina shares her experiences of war; horrors, amazing kindnesses, fear, continual uncertainty, rumors flying all over the place, sacrifices, sudden death, desperate shortages of everything from food to electricity, and personal tragedy.

She details her experiences in Sarajevo during its siege. While the events in Sarajevo are not as harrowing of those in Leningrad during the 911 days of siege where over 1 million died, the events in Sarajevo are horrible just the same and far more recent than World War II. Her incredible struggle to escape the war-torn city will leave a lasting impression. Somehow Jasmina manages not to let bitterness rule her nor overwhelm her narrative, though it does escape sometimes like when she talks of the UN inactions in Bosnia and a few times when she speaks of her complacent Serb neighbors. And, yes, she is a Bosnian Muslim. This only adds to the value of the book as a humanization of Muslims that is particularly important post-9/11. The memoir is about as unbiased as you could expect any human to be who experienced a war first hand. And it will leave you amazed at the strength of a normal person in the face of incredible loss.

Topics discussed; war, death, sacrifice, radicalization of a society, genocide, rape camps, suffering, perseverance, disability, and survival.

I highly recommend this book for classroom discussion over "Anne Frank's Diary" or other historical accounts of war, because modern students will see World War II and Vietnam as ancient history but they just might remember the Bosnian War. I looked for Iraq War civilian memoirs but they just haven't emerged yet. Many Americans experience so much as just distant "television wars" - and this can make it human. I suspect many males will want more of an account of war from the soldier's perspective, but this is a powerful, real story that will grab them if they continue reading. For reluctant male readers, I challenge them to see if they could survive what Jasmina did. Women will more quickly relate to Jasmina. It is highly suitable to classroom instruction and would be great for the foundation of a unit on memoirs and war. Highly recommended for ages 13 and up, but enjoyable to the adult as well, due to nature of topics.

A clear-eyed look at the worst, and best, of human nature.......2004-05-30

"How do we suvive the things that happen to us, these horrible things? By taking this moment, and then the next one, one at a time. By telling our truth without being broken to pieces by the difference between what our lives once were and what they had become."
--from "The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet"

This memoir of a Bosnian girl who comes of age during the disintegration of Yugoslavia is a fascinating story but, even more, it is an important piece of literature, in the tradition of Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl, and When Heaven and Earth Changed Places. The telling is simple and straightforward, but the messages, like the war itself, are complex. Through Jasmina's eyes, we see not only the loss and horror of war, but we feel the spirit of cooperation fostered by it, and the live-in-the-moment adrenaline rush. We watch children who grew up as friends turn away from each other to take sides based on hostilities perpetrated long before they were born. We view both the Serbs and the UN peacekeeping forces as obstacles in a very real human "video game." We see the frustration of those who must deal with unnecessary bureaucracy in order to secure necessary help and care. We witness wartime medical care at its most barbaric, and are given rare insight into the human ability to survive.

The River Runs Salt, Runs Sweet is an excellent depiction of an ordinary life blown apart by political and cultural violence. We in the US can talk political theory and debate the merits of waging war while we relax, clean, warm and well-fed, in front of the TV, at a safe distance from the consequences of what governments actually do. But only those who live the disruption, confusion and destruction, the great discomfort and crushing losses and, yes, the fierce comradery, know what war really is. Jasmina Dervisevic-Cesic gives us a gift of first-hand witness; she re-lives her experience on paper here for us with enormous bravery, a measure of anger, and a river of hard-won wisdom. This is history at ground level, immediate and affecting. It is a clear-eyed look into the worst, and the best, of human nature. Teenagers will relate to it because of the youth of the narrator, but readers of all ages will gain a fresh, insider perspective into the surprisingly familiar culture and baffling political morass that was the dying Yugoslavia. Jasmina tells her truth with skill; we stand to gain much, on a human scale, by listening.

Don't Mean Nothing: Short Stories of Viet Nam

Terrible!!!.......2004-05-23

This is honestly the worst book I have ever read. Just the thought of the author makes me nauseous. I strongly recommend that no one purchase this book.

A fascinating, sobering perspective.......2003-12-06

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and even when I wanted to put it down, because it was so troubling to read, I couldn't do so because I was quickly engulfed by the story. I was hooked immediately by the clear pure voice of Jasmina.
As she describes her home town and her life there before the war, I was struck by the sereneness of the town and the love and sense of belonging everyone who lived there had.
The nightmare that followed is unbelievable. To read a first person account tears out your heart, but you have to keep reading to find out how it ends.
At the end, I felt outraged at what happened but privileged to have been given this piece of understanding into a situation, which I hope never to encounter.

Book Description

Luke Fisher surfs by morning and attends classes at Flagler College by day. He passes out at the ghastly sight of what he finds on the beach one morning, and quickly becomes the prime suspect in a crime that rocks the college and the small town community of St. Augustine, Florida.

When former Maine state judge Rick Derlax's "do the crime, do the time" philosophy catches up with him, he escapes to the small coastal town to begin a new career as a professor. "The Judge" has a passion for teaching justice at all costs, but instead is handed his own sentence in a "crime against humanity."

Salvador Deaz, a released convict who is frustrated by his small-time drug trafficking, finds himself dealing with a madcap cast of characters that only the backdrop of northern Florida culture can provide.

Gallen keeps handing you plot lines that keep you guessing and laughing at the same time. Zany characters, fast-paced dialogue and memorable absurdities make this dark comedy of errors a great read.

If you like the works of Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey, and John MacDonald, you’ll love this intensely fun read from new author Chris Gallen.

Customer Reviews:

Great Beach Read.......2003-05-29

A madcap cast of characters and situations along with a look into the intellectual as well as the seedy side of the nation's oldest beach town make Chris Gallen's first novel the best beach read of 2003. Pack this right along with your sunscreen!
