        4 out of 5 stars Searching for the solutions manual.......1999-11-22

        although the book gave advanced problems, the book is not comprehensive enough ; more examples are needed. We had to use other resources to apply principles learned. And by the way, do you folks in Amazon have a solutions manual to this book ? Pls. notify me through e-mail at andrewiii@mailcity.com. :)

        5 out of 5 stars This is a good book for all srudent in the world.......1999-03-01

        I am an educator in state college for governmet auditor (STAN)so I recommended for all student taking accounting course to buy this book. Unfortunately, the quality of the paper is not good enough compare to for example Intermediate Accounting by Kieso & Weygandt. Also, the price is very expensive for Indonesian educator and student. Please create cheaper book.

                Book Description

                It is not surprising that many companies are involved in the analysis of their supply chains. Most textbooks do not include models and decision support systems robust enough for industry. DESIGNING AND MANAGING THE SUPPLY CHAIN: Concepts, Strategies, and Cases discusses these problems, models and concepts at that appropriate level. While many core supply chain management issues are interrelated, the authors have tried, when possible, to make each chapter as self contained as possible, so that the reader can refer directly to chapters covering topics of interest. Each chapter utilizes case studies and numerous examples. Mathematical and technical sections can be skipped without loss of continuity. The book also contains two software packages, the Computerized Beer Game and the Risk Pool Game which help illustrate many of the concepts discussed.

                4 out of 5 stars A good choice for a beginning text.......2006-07-06

                I have this book as my text in the Business program at the University of Phoenix. I am not a supply chain manager and do not aspire to be, but it is a required course. Some of the math is a bit daunting (the phrase "using simple calculus" is an oxymoron to many) but even without knowing calculus the case studies and discussions convey the fundamentals effectively.

                Visually, the book is also good, with a layout and graphic design that makes reading easier and not at all a strain on the eyes. That might not seem important when you are shopping for a text, but when you are reading the third chapter of the day sometime between supper and midnight, it will!

                5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Phenomenon.......2006-05-10

                Words can not explain how much this book is valuable. Its pragmatic approach to supply chain is wonderful. I am sure any reader will have the same idea after reading this book. I really appreciate this great job. Special thanks to the authors.

                5 out of 5 stars Finally something you can read and enjoy.......2005-05-10

                This book one of the rarest ocasions in SCM field when you read a book and enjoy its contents to the fullest. I agree with ine of the other reviewers that this is one of the BEST books about SCM. I highly recomend it as one of MUST have SCM books.

                3 out of 5 stars I needed something more concise.......2003-02-10

                Good as a text book for an MBA program but I needed something concise and clear. I'll keep looking

                5 out of 5 stars The definitive book on supply chain management.......2003-01-17

                The 1st edition of this book, authored by three leading scholars and consultants in the important, fast developing field of supply chain management, won several awards and high critical acclaim from professional associations, scholars, and managers.

                The 2nd edition has addressed the few gaps in the the original edition, noticed mainly by by those who, like me, used the book to teach university level courses. Thus, in the new edition, anything complex (especially, quantitative ideas) is explained even more clearly and thoroughly than in the 1st edition. The managerial implications of research findings are spelled out even better, with more examples. Short, insightful discussion questions have been added following each chapter, and there are several new, interesting case studies in several chapters. Valuable new material has also been added, e.g., research findings and examples on how to design win-win supply chain contracts, and up-to-date material on the impact of e-commerce and information technology on supply chain management.

                This book will be of value to all managers, but probably most to managers at middle and senior levels, as it provides a clear, coherent view of the entire subject while emphasizing strategic and tactical level decisions and planning. The authors have made a truly important contribution to the understanding and practice of supply chain management.

                    5 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for practising analytical chemists.......2001-03-04

                    This text is an excellent reference for practising analytical chemists. As the title indicates, the emphasis is on analytical chemistry, not physical chemistry. It presents the physical aspects of electrochemical phenomena lucidly, without getting bogged down in the tedium of deriving & solving diffusion equations. The text is comprehensive in treating the major electroanalytical experiments, written by leaders in their respective fields. I give this to graduate students in analytical chemistry and find that they really like it. It is well-referenced, has good figures & tables, and is reasonably priced. This text is a must for transferring your ideas for experiments to the bench.

                      Book Description

                      Tremendous progress has been made in the geological understanding of the Korean seas with the advances in sophisticated exploration techniques, specifically in the areas of marine geophysics, sedimentology, geochemistry, and palaeoceanography, since Marine Geology of Korean Seas was first published in 1983.

                      This book gives a comprehensive overview of the marine geology of these unique seas, including physiography, sedimentary facies and depositional processes of surface sediments, sequence stratigraphy, geologic structures, and basin evolution.

                      In this edition, new results and interpretations have been incorporated that help to formulate geological models on the evolution of the Korean seas in relation to the adjacent continents.

                                  The knowledge of the interactions of photons with hadrons has considerably improved with the study of high-energy lepton-proton collisions at HERA. The results on the partonic interactions of photons are summarized in comparison with photon-nucleon, two-photon, and proton-antiproton experiments.

                                            "Uproarious...one of the funniest writers around."--The New Yorker

                                            Tad Leary has problems. Just fired from his job at a Manhattan private school, about to be evicted from his sublet, and stalled on his dissertation ("Social Hierarchies of Imaginary Places"), he wakes up on the Sunday before Christmas to realize he has seven parties to attend.

                                            A trooper in jeans and a pressed white shirt, he sets off for brunch with his eccentric family, an afternoon performance-art piece by a friend sporting little more than a tattooed goatee, a dinner party where he runs into an ex-girlfriend, a late-night soiree where he spars with an ex-boyfriend, and more. With a charming combination of wit, wisdom--and just a little whimpering--Tad charts a survivalist's course through Manhattan's social hierarchies.

                                            "A delight.... By turns zany and meditative, satirical and mellow...a gently bittersweet comedy."--Newsday  

                                            "A wise, hilarious stocking stuffer."--The Village Voice

                                            Even though some reviewers did not like this book, I thought it was a lovely little novel. It is a week before Christmas in Manhattan and Tad, our protagonist, has just been fired from his job at an elementary school (as a story-teller) because an affectionate child has told his mother that Tad was his favorite hugger or some such nonsense (the mother is, of course, on the board or somehow related to those who worry about this). Tad has also realized that the apartment he has occupied for some time will no longer be available to him as the rightful owner is coming home. It is a Sunday and Tad has been invited to seven different events (functions) which he decides that morning he will attend in spite of the feelings of doom and gloom and utter loneliness he is feeling about his life. The reason I so liked this little book is because, while droll in its humor, it was at a very basic level, uplifting. We have brunch with Tad's family who are bizarre yet strangely accommodating, especially a brother he was never close to but who provides him with some food for thought. We meet old friends of Tad's who offer him a place to stay for a while if he needs, we meet the sister of an old boyfriend (who Tad treated poorly) who is actually rather forgiving, we meet some other friends who are artists and so self-consumed and weird that Tad seems perfectly fine by comparison, we attend a high end party where Tad drinks too much, says the wrong things to the wrong people, yet manages to stir compassion in the (potential new boyfriend) heart of someone who returns his wallet. And we visit the basement in the elementary school Tad has just been fired from, some of his better co-workers who have snuck away from the holiday party and commiserate with him. I liked this book because Tad has every reason to be depressed and wallow in self pity and yet he ventures out in his very vulnerable state and manages to let people take care of him in a very off-hand sweet sort of way. He allows himself to see that life is not over and that things are going to turn up. I liked the whole premise.

                                            There is a character in this book who most readers will recognise. Simon is an acquaintance (rarely a friend) who must "win" conversations. He is smug and asserts 5 words where one would suffice.

                                            While Mr. O'Donnell may identify with Tad, the sterotypically sweet main character, he really seems to me to be so much more a Simon. His writing is laboured and his sense of sentimentality, while earnest, is always overcome by a need to be clever. I like writers to be clever but more than that, I like them to write characters, not to prove to me that they know a whole lot of really big words. Mr. O'Donnell's writing lacks depth and humanity. I understand that Finding Homer is his better work but this piece of tripe will prevent me from experiencing that book.

                                            3 out of 5 stars Fun and enjoyable.......2001-01-09

                                            I loved Mark O'Donnell's last book, Getting Over Homer, so I immediately bought this one.

                                            This one is not as great, but it's still worth reading. I think O'Donnell's fresh metaphors and descriptions are a little forced in this book. A lot of times, they just sound stiff and awkward.

                                            But as always, there are great, vivid characters. O'Donnell is a great creator of people--particularly families. Each character is unique and interesting.

                                            The story is a fun concept, and keeps you reading. The ending was the cherry on top--I loved it--Tad has a dream that he and his brother are little boys again, but they're on a boat and as they reach the equator they will age and go through puberty, adulthood . . . "it's Indian summer, and our brains are delighted by knowledge; our hearts are unaware of their own existence; since the big bang, the universe has been a fire--slowly dying out--but fires are beautiful to watch . . ."

                                            Beautiful, Mark.

                                            I am going to bang out a novel this weekend. Why? Because after reading this novel, which lacks style, substance or the humor that its cover had promised, I know I, too, can publish. I will simply dash off a story of my fagulous Manhattan life and send it to the publisher of "Let Nothing You Dismay." Apparently, the publisher is not too demanding. The only thing good I have to say about this book is that it has a nice cover, very drole. But as they say: One cannot judge a book by its cover. My Amazon.com confreres, do NOT waste your money or time on this novel. It is boring and humorless.
