The Best.......2002-08-24
This is the best, comprehensive book ever written for financial management for individuals and families.
Something for everyone.......2001-03-21
I've always relied on Consumer Reports for information and I'm glad I used this book as my financial/monetary reference. I've learned so much about a number of topics from IRAs to wills, credit unions to buying my first house mortgage. Consumer Reports provides great statistical data to back up their suggestions or findings (for example, different compounding results for loans vs. leases). They don't just provide definitions for each topic, they give helpful, advanced suggestions and advice (for example, a regular IRA will compound much more than a Roth IRA because a Roth IRA gets taxes pulled out of it right at the contribution). I guess the younger you are, the more I can recommend this book. Anyone who is just breaking in to the real world will find this book extremely valuable. Everyone else will at least find further insight to topics they might already know about and also get their money's worth from the book.
Gives basic money cents........1999-11-19
If you've never been interested, never had enough, or pay for everything but attention-when it comes to finances, well here's a good place to start learning the basics about money management and its nomenclature.

Book Description
The impending establishment of the European Central Bank (ECB) brings a dramatic transition: the introduction of a single European Community (EC) currency. The European Central Bank describes and analyses, from the perspective of the General Counsel of the Dutch Central Bank, the objectives and tasks entrusted to the ECB and the instruments with which the ECB has been endowed in order to carry out its responsibilities. In the context of this discussion of the institutional features of the ECB, the author + describes the structure of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB), of which the ECB is the nucleus; + emphasises how the future European monetary authority is firmly rooted in the legal framework of European Community law; + focuses on the institutional arrangements set out in the Treaty establishing the European Community (EC Treaty) and their effect on ECB practical functions; + analyses the consequences of a monetary split between members of the monetary union and States remaining outside; and + proposes solutions to the difficulties which such a division may entail for the functioning of the European Community. The structuring of EC monetary authority as a part of a community based on respect for the law forms a constant theme throughout The European Central Bank. This work's critical, in-depth analysis; its thought provoking conclusions and summaries of problematic issues; and its clear, grounded structure all make it a particularly useful, scholarly examination of an important development in European and international law.

Explorations.......2006-03-28
This book is very detailed and the CD-Rom has excellent pictures. The only downfall is that the mathmatical functions are not detailed enough for me.
up to date introduction.......2005-07-19
A very solid, and up to date discussion of modern astronomy. Well suited for undergraduate astronomy majors taking a first course. You get a coherent formulation of our best understanding of galaxy formation on a cosmological scale. And also how first and second generation stars appear and evolve. Then, within a stellar system, how planets can condense out of gas.
Naturally, our solar system is well described. From both observations made on Earth and by satellites (especially the Hubble), and by US and Russian probes.
The CD will appeal to some of you. Arny has put considerable effort into it. But the main text stands well, even if the CD is missing.

Environmental Chemistry, Eighth Edition
ASIN: 0873716213 |
Book Description
Toxicological Chemistry, 2nd Edition provides an easy-to-understand general discussion of biological processes operating on environmental chemical species.

The book is designed to appeal to readers with diverse general backgrounds. It assumes only a minimal background in chemistry and none in biology or microbiology. Introductory material regarding these fields is presented in the first few chapters so that more sophisticated topics can be addressed throughout the remainder of the book. Detailed discussions about specific areas of research are avoided, although key references on major topics are provided for readers who require more in-depth information.Toxicological Chemistry, 2nd Edition is useful for anyone concerned with the biological fate and effects of chemicals.

This textbook captures the essentials of its title........1999-10-27
Compared to other text books of this nature dealing with the same scientific discipline, Manahan captures the reader's attention by dealing with several environmental focal points from and organic, toxicological, and environmental chemistry standpoint.
Based on its uniqueness and seemingly open paths for comprehension, this textbook is a must for those desiring further knowledge in the area of toxicological chemistry with a detailed spectrum of organic and environmental chemistry with a keen mix of environmental toxicology.
In short one would soon surmise this textbook is nothing short of academically remarkable and a credit to the fields of environmental toxicology, organic chemistry, and environmental chemistry. It is a must read science text for those in the environmental and chemistry fields whether academic, industrial, or government.

Book Description
Hardbound. Gas reservoir engineering is the branch of reservoir engineering that deals exclusively with reservoirs of non-associated gas. The prime purpose of reservoir engineering is the formulation of development and production plans that will result in maximum recovery for a given set of economic, environmental and technical constraints. This is not a one-time activity but needs continual updating throughout the production life of a reservoir.
The objective of this book is to bring together the fundamentals of gas reservoir engineering in a coherent and systematic manner. It is intended both for students who are new to the subject and practitioners, who may use this book as a reference and refresher. Each chapter can be read independently of the others and includes several, completely worked exercises. These exercises are an integral part of the book; they not only illustrate the theory but also show how to apply the theory to practical problems.

Book Description
This work is a Theodicy, which deals with the issue of the good and all-powerful God temporarily allowing evil and suffering in the world. Among the topics of discussion are the following: Qualities of God, Creation, Freedom of Choice, Evil, Christ and the Cross, Types and Purposes of Suffering, Divine Intervention. A study such as this does not have all of the answers, but it enables growth in the knowledge of God and His ways. As a result, encouragement is provided in all situations as trust is put in the good, all-powerful God who delights to bless.
