Garbage.......2005-11-07

I am reviewing the 2004-2005 which I assume the 2005-2006 will have similiar content to its prior edition. Anyways, honestly, Wiley is overrated. The outline is an unorganized collection of gibberish. It seems the editor just basically quickly jolt down information that they "assume" to be important. As a result, the outline is incoherent, confusing, and basically garbage. I did not learn anything from using wiley books. After one week, I gave up on using Wiley, which is now collecting dust in my bookshelf.

Instead, I suggest using Becker Conviser. There materials are waaay superior. The books are in "plain English" and you will actually learn the materials. No wonder Becker Conviser is known to be the very best way to prepare for CPA exam, not Wiley.

Book Description

A classic FBI wound ballistic study compiled by some of the top names in the field, including Evan Marshall (coauthor of the Handgun Stopping Power series) and Dr. Martin Fackler. This report looks at the stopping power of various .45 ACP and 9mm loads and addresses the importance of bullet placement, penetration factors, magazine capacity, handgun ammo limitations and much more.

Book Description

The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which is now being implemented, reduces the support for a selected number of agricultural products. This book uses welfare theory and applied general equilibrium analysis to assess the medium to long term consequences of this reform, if the new policies remain in place until the beginning of the next century. It analyses the implications of two alternative scenarios: a) a further trade liberalisation covering all commodities; and b) increased protectionism with high prices, constraints on production and export subsidies (financed by the farmers themselves). The study also investigates the implications of financial renationalisation, whereby the European Union member-states would cover the costs of their own support measures.

Book Description

Reforming the Common Agricultural Policy provides a comparison of the reforms of the European common agricultural policy. It analyses the determining factors by applying a multi-level (international, European and national), a multi-issue (agricultural and non-agricultural), and a policy network approach (the evolution of the corporatist model). It is demonstrated that the international trade level played a determining role. It discusses whether cumulative changes brought about a paradigm change and argues that policy feedbacks of each reform generated change, up to a change in policy paradigm.

Book Description

The agri-food sector is continuously confronted with major challenges. It is a complex sector in the economy because of its important societal implications and embeddedness within a broader rural system. Furthermore, the agricultural sector is a multi-agent sector with a complex chain of inputs, intermediates, outputs and markets that are highly regulated. Multi-agency and strong government regulation result in a complex institutional system. The aim of this book is to bring a selected state-of-the-art of the conceptual and empirical New Institutional Economics-inspired research by European agricultural economists. Besides the social environment, the two main components of the institutional environment are policies and markets. The title of this book tries to capture the main subjects. For a farmer, as an economic producing actor and social agent, his environment comprises of politics, markets and rurality, of which the first is seeking to get more ordering in the two others. Furthermore, the term rural in the title tries to capture, both in policies and markets, the usual agricultural activities as well as the new ones which are more oriented to the rural social system. This book focuses on the three main areas of interest in institutions: policy implementation, market and supply chain organisation and management of rural resources and rural systems. The chapters are covering insights on the significance of institutions on transaction costs, policy analysis, policy reform, market and chain dynamics, input markets, agri-environmental policies, social capital and bottom-up approaches.

Book Description

This book assesses the regional impact of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Rural Development Policy (RDP), asking the question of how far these mainly sectoral policies are compatible with more general objectives of territorial cohesion across the old and new countries of the
European Union. Through detailed statistical analysis and case studies, it considers both the incidence of CAP expenditure and other farm producer support across over 1000 NUTS3 regions, and the impacts of current CAP reforms. It also assesses how far the CAP is consistent with the goals set out in
the European Spatial Development Perspective. It concludes with proposals for CAP/RDP reform, and attempts to highlight good practice in rural development.

Book Description

In Western societies, the incidence and prevalence of respiratory and food-related allergies have increased rapidly over the past decades. Changes in life style, e.g. in hygiene, child vaccination, housing insulation, food consumption patterns, etc. are thought to be involved in this increase. Direct and indirect costs related to allergy are expected to rise rapidly, especially in the Central and Eastern European countries that recently joined the European Union. Major concerns relate to the significant decrease of the quality of life of patients and their relatives.

Therefore, time is urgent to develop strategies for large-scale and structural tackling of the allergy problem. Approaches aiming at allergy prevention with a focus on controlling our living environment and the food production chain, as well as on the choices consumers and patients make, seem very promising and complementary to solve this medicalized problem.

This book, written by renowned experts, reflects the current ideas for future possibilities of allergy prevention, using integrated and multidisciplinary strategies and covering the entire knowledge framework from comprehensive fundamental research to implementation into society. It describes approaches from the following main topics:

- The medical and molecular context

- The food production chain and novel foods

- The living and occupational environment

- People and society

This book will be an indispensable tool for all those scientists that are searching for ways to solve the current allergy problems.

Book Description

Surveying both theoretical and experimental aspects of chaotic behavior, this book presents chaos as a model for many seemingly random processes in nature. Basic notions from the theory of dynamical systems, bifurcation theory and the properties of chaotic solutions are then described and illustrated by examples. A review of numerical methods used both in studies of mathematical models and in the interpretation of experimental data is also provided. In addition, an extensive survey of experimental observation of chaotic behavior and methods of its analysis are used to stress universal features of the phenomenon.

fantastic.......2007-02-21

Whether you are a Mott/Ian Hunter fan or not, you can enjoy this book. Although the early background/biography sections aren't as interesting as the career of Mott The Hoople, this book is very entertaining. It shows the inner workings of a legendary band, and in the process, the inner workings of the music industry. This book is easy to read and a must for Ian Hunter/Mott fans. These guys had a lot of funny things happen to them as they became unlikely pop stars.

This is one of the best books I have ever read.

Diary of a Rock 'n' Roll Star.......2005-07-09

If you're looking for a great lierary work, Ian Hunter won't impress you. If you want to read a documentation of the early 70's world of Rock, this is right out of the trenches. What struck me early on was how grounded Hunter seems to be, or at least what he strives for. He's a rock star for 2 hours a day, then spends the rest of the time wondering if the light bill is paid at home, and if his car's been fixed properly. Like a pro athlete, you go at a music career like you know it's going to end. Hunter sees it coming, and was probably not surprised by the breakup of the band a couple years later. If Mott the Hoople's music was ever important to you, then get the book. It's like seeing an old friend again.

THAT '70S BAND.......2004-01-27

An unpretentious true 'diary' from 70's British glam rocker ( for want of a better description ), Ian Hunter of "Mott The Hoople" during his band's successful 1972 tour of the States. He reveals a historically fascinating 'behind the scenes' look at the rock and roll concert circuit of the early '70s, where in Hunter's humble view, sex, drugs, and rock and roll take a back seat to wry observations on American life, a compassion for music, and a compulsion for old guitars found in American junk shops. The reader goes along for the ride as Hunter and the rest of 'Mott The Hoople' tramp across America like kids in an amusement park. Personal revelations and run-ins with a host of rock and roll celebritys give this book an insider's edge and there is a rewarding final entry which finds Hunter questionably inside the high security gates of Elvis Presly's mansion, creeping about like the obsessed fan he reveals himself to be.

Simply the Best Rock Book Ever!.......2002-08-11

Ian Hunter proves himself to be one of the most articulate and intelligent personalities in rock in this diary of Mott's late '72 US tour in support of their All The Young Dudes album. It is a humble, egoless tale of the steps and stumbles of a band trying to break into the American market, lovingly and honestly told through the eyes of a young aspiring band leader. Refreshingly free of the self-cogradulatory tone of most autobiographies and the slathering praise of too many band books by fan-...-journalists, this modest (read: short) work starts and ends with the reader inside the day-to-day workings of a mid-level journeyman band, warts and all. Best of all (or, worst of all, depending upon your point of view), this isn't so much a book about Mott The Hoople and their music as it is a look at the human realities of what life on the road was like for the guys in the band, or most bands like them at that time. It captures perfectly the tone of the time and the atmosphere prevailing in the early '70's. It strips away the facades and breathes life into the rigors, rewards and frustrations of chasing the musical Holy Grail. I first bought this book in London in 1975, and have read and re-read it more times than I can remember. Raw, spontanious and unpretentious, it is funny, sad, touching and rewarding, especially with the hindsight of the band's history immediately after the end of the book. A must read for any music fan, and essential for any one who wishes to understand the period when the music became secondary to the business concerns. I love this book.

Just rock'n'roll.......2002-06-02

It's 1972. David Bowie pens 'All The Young Dudes' for Mott The Hoople, a British band on the verge of splitting up. The single becomes an enormous hit. Before embarking on a US tour that same year, Ian Hunter (Mott's lead vocalist) decides to keep a journal. The odyssey begins with him cleaning up after the cat and swilling a bottle of Medoc in preparation for his transatlantic flight to the USA. Over the next five weeks, he fends off the unwanted advances of groupies, hangs out with Zappa, Bowie and Keith Moon, searches pawn-shops for vintage guitars, and breaks into Graceland in hopes of meeting THE KING.

As Ian Hunter explains in his introduction, Diary was not "meant to have any literary merit, nor be a journalist's delight," rather it's intended as "a letter to a fan in the front row at the Rainbow...a buzz for the people who dig us." Diary is one of the most entertaining, candid insights into the rock'n'roll world you will ever read. Hunter comes off as neither world-weary, pretentious nor self-serving. Highly recommended for anyone who loves rock'n'roll, not just Mott fans.

Calling a Spade a Spade.......2001-08-25

A slight but engaging snapshot of a time and situation: being in a struggling British journeyman rock band touring the States in the early 70s. The details concerning pretour pet care, bandmate flying phobia and pawnshop adventuring give us the real behind-the-scenes of life in a working rock band. So now we know what Hunter meant when he sang "It's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll". Some not very pc nomenclature may snap your head back once in a while, but it's an historical document of another time, another place, worth visiting for anyone interested in the rock'n'roll life.

Book Description

MOTT THE HOOPLE is an underground classic 60's comic novel. It is written in a freewheeling bawdy style. It's hero, Norman Mott, is a Rabelaisian figure who refuses to wear anybody's label, insists on being his own man, and, through a series of comic misadventures, discovers just who that man is. Some people will know Mott the Hoople from the British rock band that took its name from the book.

Customer Reviews:

The band was named after the book ..........2007-06-15

... not the other way around. Fans of Hunter, Watts & Co. should see this as perhaps an insight into the band's early influences. It is *not* a biography of the band (which didn't even exist yet).

Terrific uplifting read.......2007-05-21

While this has little to do with the band. It is a funny book about a card shark who falls in love with a fat rich girl and their road story.

NOT A DUDE.......2005-07-15

I recently purchased this book and was sadly surprised to find out it had NOTHING to do with the band, other than that this was the book that guy stevens got the name for the band from. Worse, on the cover of the book behind the title is a sketchy print of Ian Hunter holding a guitar. This little bit of misleading info caused me to open the package thereby making me unable to return the book for a refund. Other than a curiosity piece for completists of all things Mott, please do not get burned like i did by buying this book.
As far as the actual story, it's your typical narrative-on-the-road type. Again, not bad, but not Mott the Hoople.
Instead, get Ian Hunter's "diary of a r+r star".
