Book Description

[.rt error 1] early 1980s, poorly thought-out deregulatory policies, and flawed accounting practices. The SandL Debacle reveals that the banking system of the late 1970s was anachronistic. Tightly regulated thrifts were locked into portfolios of long-term mortgages and limited in the interest rates that they could pay to depositors. When interest rates soared, the thrifts experienced heavy losses. Clearly, adjustment in the industry was necessary, and the economic deregulatory policies implemented in the early 1980s were long overdue. But White points out that these policies should have been accompanied by strengthened safety-and-soundness regulations. Instead, safety-and-soundness rules were also deregulated, bringing a deadly combination of opportunities, capabilities, and incentives for risk-taking that spelled disaster for hundreds of thrifts--and ultimately for the FSLIC insurance fund and the U.S. taxpayer. White offers far-reaching recommendations for reform, such as better methods of gathering information about thrifts before they become insolvent, risk-related net worth requirements, risk-based insurance premiums--so that deposit insurance is treated more like other forms of insurance--and stronger powers of early intervention by regulators. With its comprehensive overview, incisive analysis, and clear, nontechnical language, this book is important reading for anyone hoping to understand the SandL crisis and will be an essential guide for economists and policymakers of the future.

Most useful Handbook!.......2005-09-15

This is a useful handbook for ward physicians and panel doctors (GP).
Now available is the Hungarian version, just published the Hungarian translation.

Technical and very complete.......2002-05-22

I waited quite some time in anticipation of this book. In fact, shipping was delayed by nearly a month. I am reluctant to admit it, but I found it terribly technical. That is the reason I am writing this review. It is quite thorough but more than I expected or needed. Additionally, I was so glad to finally receive it that I mindlessly wrote my name on it without thinking about returning it for something more suitable to my needs. I just hope that someone else can avoid my mistake by reading this review.

A great desk reference!.......2002-03-11

This is an outstanding reference book. A "must" for physicians, laboratory technicians, and other health professionals interested in the clinical pathology. This is laid out in a very easy to use format, with cross indexing, and with current references. The best book of its kind on the market.

A Great Reference Tool.......2000-06-05

I was very fortunate to have access to this book as a Medical Technology student and afterwards while working in a laboratory. This book is very well cross-referenced with every conceivable alternate test name listed. A summary of the disease states that each test could help to diagnose is also listed, making this a great learning tool. Overall, I will consider this to be the most valuable laboratory reference book in my possession.

Book Description

Operational Quantum Theory I is a distinguished work on quantum theory at an advanced algebraic level. Quantum theory (nonrelativistic quantum mechanics and quantum theory) is developed from a representation theory of lie group and lie algebraic operations acting on both finite and infinite dimensional vector spaces. Time and space related finite dimensional representation structures, with simple Lie operations and, as a non-relativistic application, the Kepler problem which has long fascinated quantum theorists are dealt with in some detail. This book features many equations which allow the reader to better understand the applications of operational quantum theory, and to provide accurate and precise descriptions of the subject. Operational Quantum Theory I aims to understand more deeply on an operational basis what is already known and current developments in quantum theory, but also suggests new solutions to previously unsolved problems.

Book Description

This book is devoted to interfaces between two fluids, that is, between a liquid and a gas (such as water and air) or between two liquids (such as water and oil). The main motivation for the book is twenty years of experimentation in the microgravity environment of space, and the associated theory. This unique environment has made possible numerous qualitative and quantitative observations of effects that are masked by gravity on earth. Large liquid surfaces have been created and their stability and dynamics have been studied. The experimental insights gained have, in turn, strongly stimulated further theoretical and mathematical investigations. Advancing and receding contact angles, wetting barriers, pinning of contact lines, oscillations of capillary surfaces and fluid sloshing are also discussed.

Customer Reviews:

Simply the best.......2004-02-04

Dieter Langbein wrote one of the best approaches to capillary surfaces i've ever seen. I am an undergraduate student at UCF and Langbein's Capillary Surfaces is a wonderful piece of knowledge. The examples and descriptions quite possibly explain the reasons behind capillary rise. This text has served its purpose and beyond in terms of educating the reader. Langbein might as well call himself a genius because i see the future in capillary surfaces and its application. Read this book if you are extremely interested in the reasons of capillary surfaces, the shapes they undergo, stability, and dynamics. Moreover, weightlessness is a big treat for those who want to know the effects of space.

Book Description

Haven't you always wanted to understand what the 'nitwits' at your table are thinking to make them play the way they do? This book gives you the tools that experts employ to 'profile' poker opponents, like the F.B.I profiles criminals. You will also be able to use these techniques to quickly, accurately pinpoint tendencies in your opponents and profit from them.

Not much here.......2007-08-16

I'm looking for something to help me "prejudge" a new player to the table and he really doesn't give me much that would be helpful. I'm glad I didn't pay full price.

Nothing insightful here.......2006-03-17

Most everything included here is common sense. There are a few important concepts included here, but they are better covered in other texts.

Just Common Knowledge.......2006-03-14

I didn't find much use for this book. This author's explanations on "profiling" will not help anyone who has basic common sense. The profiling facts offered don't translate into real help in beating the types of poker players we often confront. e.g. I'll paraphrase one profile: -People who refuse to tip the dealer after winning a hand are cheap and self-centered. People who do tip are typically compassionate and more likely to have a feel for what other people are doing. Do you want one more? OK. -People who dress smartly, wear expensive clothes and play in low-stakes poker games probably don't care as much about the money involved than the thrill of playing the game. If these common sense facts are new to you, and you think they can help you play better, then buy this book. If not, save your money.

Learning to read opponents is key!.......2006-01-01

Wow! I have been reading alot of the recommended poker books to learn the pot odds, good starting hands, preflop, flop, and river play, etc... and I have become a winning player following all the suggestions in these books. Then, I came across Profiling Poker "Nitwits", read it, and tried these ideas as well with my game, and now my win rate has doubled! This book teaches you how to read your opponents, study their mannerisms at the table and while they are in a hand, and also helps you figure out based upon their appearance what kind of plays they would be inclined to make. Working on trying to figure out what your opponents will to do in any situation at the table, coupled with making the right percentage plays is definately key! I felt that something was missing from my game before I read this book...now I know. I had to learn to play the game from both angles, and I did. I'm thrilled this book came along...Thanks!

Not much Here.......2005-09-23

This is a pretty short book that I believe lacks substance. I guess it is good to think about some of the items, but the entire book could have been summarized in 3 or 4 pages. I was hopeful at first when the author mentioned having researched FBI profiling techniques. This in itself would be interesting to me, but there seemed to be so much left out unless the FBI only has a small pamphlet on profiling. Some chapters seemed to be text cited from other sources with loose application, at best. I do not think there is much here except for 2 or 3 good points. Not worth the price if you ask me.

Jon Katz, the media critic for Wired magazine, has written a controversial and much-needed book exploring the "cultural civil war" over values that has developed with the emergence of the new media. Katz stands all sorts of common wisdom on its head. Are the Net, MTV, live cable talk shows, video, and computer games corroding our values? Are new electronic technologies dumbing down our society? Do pop culture, violent computer games, and spending time online create violent kids with short attention spans? Will the Net isolate us and destroy civic ties? Most pundits say "yes" to these questions, but Katz responds with an emphatic "no!" Don't swallow what the doomsday sensationalists are predicting until you read this book.

Book Description

New electronic technologies are "dumbing down" America. Pop culture creates violent kids with short attention spans. The decline of the print media has made adults politically apathetic. Communicating by computer isolates us and erodes our civic life. The internet, MTV, live cable talk shows, and other multimedia are corroding our society. . . right?

Wrong!! retorts Jon Katz. In his brilliant "take no prisoners" polemic, he explains that if you believe any of the above, you've been swallowing the propaganda expounded by the powers that be, including the likes of William Bennett, Bob Dole, Tipper Gore, and Bill Clinton -- all of whom are keeping us ignorant of the real problems.

This cutting-edge book -- as useful to media-phobes as it is to Webheads -- brings a much needed voice of reason and clarity to the debate over technology's impact on society. It will make its readers rethink everything they've ever been told or read about the interaction between technology, media, and culture.

Customer Reviews:

For an alternate opinion..........2005-05-27

This book questions whether MTV, live television talk shows, the Internet, and computer games are corrupting America's values, hence disagreeing with those people who say these are negative influences. It takes an opposing stance to more than 3000 scholarly studies that have conclusively established such negative influences.

passionate, yet sober look at coping with the new media.......2004-11-14

From the title, you can tell that the author has a bone to pick. However, the book is less about the moral or political debate than about the impact of the "new media". Fortunately, given his credentials as a contributing editor at WIRED, it is not another hack essay full of silly utopian predictions. Instead, it is a thoughtful, provocative, and deliciously sarcastic take on the information revolution and its self-proclaimed critics.

Katz argues that the traditional media, from the NYT to CBS News, are under assault from a wide variety of new into technologies and new formats such as talk radio or Larry King Live. And, he believes, it is presumably Gen X that is taking the lead. The new media are not only democratic but highly interactive, offering anyone with an opinion an opportunity to communicate with millions instantly. There are the principal reasons, Katz believes, that the old-style media are slowly losing ground: their audience will no longer accept elite judgments about what is news and what is not.

This frightens a lot of people, the "mediaphobes". Parents fret that the internet exposes their children to pornography and offers of sex from predatory strangers, satanic cults etc. Katz argues that the attempt to shut down these media is an admission of fear, ignorence and simple laziness. This allows opportunistic demagogues, like the gambling-addicted William Bennett, to blame the media.

It is a great delight to read how Katz demolishes the demagogues calls for techno-restrictions and censorship as attempts to avoid the real issues, which are complex social choices in the end.

Katz' remedies are sober and simple: parents should lighten up and get involved in the new culture and media with their kids. This means rational discussions, negotiation, judicious limit-setting, and basic trust in our children. In this high-tech age, the old-fashioned wisdom of these suggestions is refreshing.

But Katz book offers more than that. Unlike the bland, old-style media he criticizes, his book is passionate rather than dryly "objective" (presenting both sides of view as if each were equally legitimiate, which is such a bore today). Nonetheless, he never goes overboard - he is outraged yet does not need to create political strawmen to trash and blame.

Also, there is a book within a book, looking at Thomas Paine as a new-media man of his age. This was a fascinating analysis that made me want to learn much more about him.

Warmly recommended. This book opened my mind to many new ideas.

This book is still relevant.......2000-01-09

I'm a parent of boys 9 and 12. I try to choose which movies they see, but they see the ones on my 'black list' at the neighbors down the street. When my older boy is on the net I wonder what he is looking at (usually it is the 'Hate Hanson' chat group, cheat codes for a computer game, or email to a friend). He likes 'gangsta rap' and I don't know why. I've spent a ton of time working on fatherhood issues and I do everything in my power to be a good parent. I am 50. This book is important because Katz reminds us: 1. the world is complex, more so than is comfortable for us to think, 2. human nature is resilient, more so than we may trust, 3. morality and conscience arise from the quality of day to day (minute by minute?) life in our families and communities, and they will not be undermined by dirty pictures or songs, 4. the modern media, internet and culture provide an incredible vista for our children, both awful and sublime, but an incredible amount of information by any measure. My 'take away' from Katz's book is to trust my children, and myself, in negotiating the new media culture. My job is to help my kid come to terms with the reality of our world, not to try to block it out. As Katz reminds me, it is not going to go away anyhow. This is a good book. I give it a full 5 stars because Katz is such a good writer. Some of Katz's prose jumps off the page.

Dull, repetitive..........1999-01-05

I'll get to the point quickly and without repetition, unlike the book itself: Jon Katz makes some good (but often obvious) points; unfortunately, he feels it necessary to repeat them ad infinitum. What takes up 200 pages could have easily been summarised in a magazine article.

Sane contribution to internet non-debate.......1998-10-12

Katz's faith that his 15 year-old daughter has the savvy to negotiate the internet wilderness is a wonderful testament to the new generation which has to endure morals-preaching presidents of Oval Office sexcapade, virtuecrat Republicans who whine when their affairs are exposed, and a so-pious adult generation whose own morals are nothing for the young to copy. Katz's fury at the ridiculous hippie-prig anti-cyberspace unholy alliance of the '90s is worth the few facts on youth risks that he gets wrong. A great book, a needed message, and one ironically large in the post-Starr era.

Claude Clambo joins five other guests for dinner in the mansion of an eccentric vintner host. The dinner is late, the host can't be found, the guests are guzzling wine, and begin to disappear, one by one. It's gotta be the butler, except there isn't one. The guests are natives of Germany, Belgium, Italy, England, Los Angeles and Napa, or are they? Is it coincidental that each of them had a relative who died in their own wine cellars? Who could be the murderer? Is it one of them? Suspicions abound as you reach the twisted resolution of this verbal slapstick, comedy mystery.
