Book Description
For the first time in paperback, this highly praised guide is now updated with the latest information on federal programs and laws that affect every American's retirement security—from the author of The Retirement Catch-Up Guide. Whether you like it or not, Uncle Sam
will
have an impact on your retirement. To understand how and what to do about it, Hoffman has created an excellent guide to all the pertinent topics: Social Security, Medicare, Long Term Care, Pensions, Nursing Home Care, Job Security/Age Discrimination Laws, Your Retirement Home, Consumer Protection, and Tax Laws. In each area, she clearly covers: What You Need to Know; The Decisions You Need to Make; The Tax Factor; and Where to Find More Information. Written with clarity and care, with simple examples from everyday life and checklists of potential tax savings, this handy paperback won rave reviews when first published in hardcover (under the title Bankroll Your Future).
Customer Reviews:
Good information for initial retirement planning.......2001-05-27
For those facing premature layoffs or are just beginning to consider their retirement planning, this book is the perfect source for basic information we all need to know.
Hoffman's book addresses fundamental issues and stimulates questions for those who have not thought ahead. It is a roadmap for initial planning and a resource index to other information sources.
I recommend this book to everyone who is being forced to consider retirement alternatives and the financial challenges earlier than they might have expected. It is easy to read and understand. Begin your homework now!
Informative Reference Manual.......2001-05-27
As a group benefits manager in a mid-size company, I recommend anyone over age 55 read this book. The chapter on Medicare has important information that the average person does not understand. Paying out-of-pocket medical expenses can be costly and can take a big bite out of retirement funds. It can also be difficult to get information from Federal government agencies especially in layman's language. I enjoyed reading the book and found it concise and informative. I will recommend the book to my friends as a quick reference manual to have on hand.
Bankroll Your Future Retirement With Help from Uncle Sam.......2001-05-17
This book has been enormously helpful to me and my family. It is especially useful in helping to solve complicated financial problems facing an elderly parent. Bankroll explains things in a way that is easy to understand and provides in-depth information that I can use. This book points out key issues that I would have otherwise missed that relate to social security and Medicare. In addition, it provides information on state programs like QMBY that I had never heard of before reading this book.
Between taking care of an elderly parent, work and family, there isn't time to search the web seeking possible answers to difficult financial problems. This book gets my five stars. Pam P.
Stumbles Out of the Gate and Then Collapses.......2001-05-08
You can't write a vast book based on half-vast ideas. But that didn't stop this author from trying to pass off a book filled with useless platitudes.
My guess is that it took her all of two days to write this trivial book. Seek some professional financial help at work or through one of the government agencies instead.
Also isn't it interesting that the only two reviews that praised this book are written by anonymous reviewers. Could those be from the author or her friends?
Retirees Are Not Stupid So Why Treat Us That Way?.......2001-05-06
Here is another book trying to make a buck off of us "poor, helpless old folks who are closer to retirement than to college." Well I've got news for this author: Retirement may be near but: We've got money. We've got brains. But we have little patience for silly books like this one that promise to reveal the big secrets to retiring wealthy--and in this case by doing it on the back of honest taxpayers. If only this book delivered but it doesn't.
Most of the "secrets" in this book are old or too impractical and timeconsuming to pull off. Besides, if President Bush gets his way and revises Social Security the rest of this advice will also be worthless. Stick with the advice you already know because if retirement is near you cannot afford to be rolling the dice with your nest egg!

Book Description
Der dritte Band der Betriebswirtschaftstheorie behandelt die wichtigsten Teile der betrieblichen Investitionstheorie. Dargestellt werden die Grundlagen der modernen Kapitalmarkttheorie und der Portefeuilletheorie sowie ihre Anwendung für die betrieblichen Investitionsentscheidungen, z.B. für die Ableitung des Kalkulationszinsfußes. Wie in Band 1 und Band 2 wird besonderer Wert auf die praktische Relevanz gelegt. So behandeln die Autoren Fragen der Entscheidung zwischen Leasing und Kreditkauf, die Berücksichtigung von Preisschwankungen im Investitionskalkül, die Besonderheiten bei Direktinvestitionen im Ausland und die Abwägung zwischen kalkulatorischen und finanzmathematischen Verfahren. Im Anhang wird ein Beispiel für PC-gestützte Investitionsrechnungen wiedergegeben. Übungsaufgaben, Kontrollfragen und eine Musterklausur sollen zum selbständigen Arbeiten anleiten und die Kontrolle des erworbenen Wissens ermöglichen. Die dritte Auflage dieses Buches wurde aktualisiert und ergänzt, Änderungen von steuerlichen Vorschriften wurden berücksichtigt.

Book Description
Gegenstand der in diesem Buch behandelten Investitionstheorie sind die Investitionsentscheidungen in der Unternehmung, insbesondere die den Entscheidungen zugrunde liegenden Rechenverfahren. Dargestellt werden die klassischen Entscheidungsregeln auf der Grundlage von Kapitalwert und internem Zinsfuß, sodann die durch Berücksichtigung unvollkommener Kapitalmärkte erforderlichen Modifikationen des Entscheidungsmodells bis hin zu Simultanplanungsmodellen für den Investitions- und Finanzierungsbereich. Ein umfangreicher Abschnitt des Buches befaßt sich mit den Möglichkeiten, Unsicherheit bei Investitionsentscheidungen zu berücksichtigen. Das Buch wendet sich in erster Linie an Studierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaft. Theoretisches Grundwissen für ein wichtiges Teilgebiet der Betriebswirtschaftslehre wird für diese Zielgruppe didaktisch aufbereitet. Der korrigierte Nachdruck der fünften Auflage von 1985 soll der starken Nachfrage nach diesem Standardlehrbuch Rechnung tragen.

Book Description
Investitionsentscheidungen mit Einfluß auf zukünftige Entscheidungssituationen desselben Inventors oder auf den Entscheidungskalkül eines Konkurrenten in einer Oligopolsituation werden in der traditionellen Investitionstheorie nur stiefmütterlich oder gar nicht behandelt. Dieses Buch stellt einen Schritt zur Schließung dieser Lücke dar. Dabei wird mit einer sehr anschaulichen Methodik gearbeitet, die auf dem bekannten Kapitalwertkriterium basiert. Dem Leser wird verdeutlicht, welche besonderen Aspekte in den betrachteten Situationen zu beachten und wie diese bei der Bewertung von Investitionsprojekten zu berücksichtigen sind. Zuletzt erfolgt jeweils eine Analyse der Bedeutung der Finanzierung für Investitionsentscheidungen in diesen Situationen und damit für den Marktwert der Unternehmung.

Book Description
Das Lehrbuch führt ausführlich in alle relevanten Ansätze der Unternehmensbewertung ein, die in Theorie und Bewertungspraxis diskutiert werden. Ausgehend von den verschiedenen rechtlich bzw. wirtschaftlich motivierten Anlässen einer Unternehmensbewertung sowie der Darstellung der dogmengeschichtlichen Entwicklung in Deutschland wird die Unternehmensbewertung investitionstheoretisch fundiert. Das Prognoseproblem und das Kapitalisierungsproblem werden getrennt voneinander betrachtet. Im Rahmen der Darstellung von Cash-Flow-Prognosen werden verschiedene Methoden präsentiert, um zu einer konsistenten und plausiblen Prognose zu gelangen. Im Rahmen der Darstellung des Kapitalisierungsproblems werden die klassische Ertragswertmethode und vor allem die modernen Varianten der DCF-Verfahren unter verschiedenen Besteuerungsregimes vorgestellt und die relevanten Bewertungsformeln entwickelt. Eine Würdigung besonderer Bewertungsverfahren (Optionspreisverfahren, Multiplikatorverfahren) rundet den Text ab.

Book Description
For more than a quarter century, Cotton and Wilkinson's Advanced Inorganic Chemistry has been the source that students and professional chemists have turned to for the background needed to understand current research literature in inorganic chemistry and aspects of organometallic chemistry. Like its predecessors, this updated Sixth Edition is organized around the periodic table of elements and provides a systematic treatment of the chemistry of all chemical elements and their compounds. It incorporates important recent developments with an emphasis on advances in the interpretation of structure, bonding, and reactivity.
From the reviews of the Fifth Edition:
* "The first place to go when seeking general information about the chemistry of a particular element, especially when up-to-date, authoritative information is desired." -Journal of the American Chemical Society.
* "Every student with a serious interest in inorganic chemistry should have [this book]." -Journal of Chemical Education.
* "A mine of information . . . an invaluable guide." -Nature.
* "The standard by which all other inorganic chemistry books are judged."-Nouveau Journal de Chimie.
* "A masterly overview of the chemistry of the elements."-The Times of London Higher Education Supplement.
* "A bonanza of information on important results and developments which could otherwise easily be overlooked in the general deluge of publications." -Angewandte Chemie.
Customer Reviews:
The best Inorganic Book.......2006-06-29
In my opinion, this book is one of the best books on Inorganic Chemistry. From first edition to last one F.A. Cotton's book becomes better and better. Now, this is excellent comprehensive textbook on Inorganic and Coordination Chemistry.
NICE TEXT FOR UNDERGRAD INORGANIC CHEMISTRY.......2003-03-06
With this edition of "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry", Albert Cotton and his co-authors have proved that they kept track of all the recent developments in the field.
This text provides clear and balanced coverage, as it applies to Inorganic Chemistry. Every branch of the course was browsed, and with generous details too. In addition to the general principles and laws, there are updated information on: Atomic Structures of elements, Chemical Bondings and related associations; as well as Chemical Equilibria and Enthalpy.
Together with its insight in Nuclear Chemistry, the details this book provided on inorganic elements and compounds is worthy of praise. It is a fine textbook, which anyone who has the basic knowledge of elementary chemistry should be glad to read.
Disappointing.......2003-01-29
The 5th edition of this book had been compulsory reading during my undergraduate inorganic chemistry courses: it was the inorganic chemistry bible. This edition fails to reach the high standard of its predecessor. In fact, it isn't even a good advanced inorganic chemistry text. Much of the really useful stuff that forms the basis of an understanding of inorganic chemistry has been omitted in favour of niche topics. The book would be better called 'Advances in Inorganic Chemistry' or 'Selected Topics in Inorganic Chemistry'.
Not as good as expected.......2002-09-01
This was one of the best book for inorganic chemistry, but this edition is very different from the previous ones. Many useful chapters have been done away with; they have been replaced with chapters rather poor, especially those about catalysis.
I advise the fifth edition, which is much better, even if it's quite old: the updates of new edition don't offset its flaws.
This is an excellent book.......1998-11-11
I have read this book with great interest. I think this book is marvellous in describing the features of three dimentional inorganic molecules.

Book Description
This book is the first to give a detailed description of the factors and processes that govern the optical properties of ion implanted materials, as well as an overview of the variety of devices that can be produced in this way. Beginning with an overview of the basic physics and practical methods involved in ion implantation, the topics of optical absorption and luminescence are then discussed. A chapter on waveguide analysis then provides the background for a description of particular optical devices, such as waveguide lasers, mirrors, and novel nonlinear materials. The book concludes with a survey of the exciting range of potential applications.

Book Description
When a stray kitten romps into Lynne's life, she has no idea what she's getting into. As Lynne describes in letters to her friend Angie, Skeeter is all cat -- high-spirited, contrary, and inventive. He's so goofy that he reminds Lynne of her own nuttiest escapades; so irrepressible that even Lynne's neighbor, Mark, gets wound around his paw. And when Angie visits to see Skeeter for herself . . . . Well, no one who meets Skeeter will ever be quite the same again.
Customer Reviews:
Great gift for cat lovers.......2005-10-09
This is a wonderful little book. Skeeter's adventures kept me entertained. It would make a lovely gift for anyone who likes cats.
Delightfully entertaining.......2005-05-02
A non-cat person myself, I still found myself smiling and nodding in understanding as Skeeter enlightened his human companion about life.
Skeeter:A Cat Tale.......2005-05-01
Skeeter is a stray kitten with questionable lineage and irreverent independence. His story is told in a series of letters from Lynne, Skeeter's equally independent "person" to friends back in Chicago after Lynne moves to California and brings Skeeter into her life.
For anyone who loves cats, as I do, Skeeter is a fun romp through the world of cat lovers and the cats who own them.
