5 out of 5 stars Cujo.......2007-02-11

I bought the recent 9th edition of this book, and on the contrary to the previous reviews, i have found the book very helpful (probably the authors made some big changes in this edition). It gave relevant and very good examples with mini real-life cases at the end of every chapter. One of the big advantages in this book is that it gives you answer keys at the end of the book so you can check your answers to end-of-chapter problems. Keep in mind that this is an advanced course textbook so it will assume you have previous "solid" knowledge of concepts like time value of money etc.

1 out of 5 stars Terrible.......2006-10-26

Not worth the paper it was printed on and completely overpriced. If you are an MBA candidate you should save $145 to spend on other study guides.

1 out of 5 stars Financial Book Review.......2006-03-17

I am an MBA student and had to use this book for my Advanced Finance class. It is the most usless book I have purchased for any MBA class. VERY hard to follow and it provides very complicated and unclear examples of how to solve problems or understand concepts. I also got the study guide which was more helpful than the book itself, but it also was horrible. I am not sure why professors choose this book. I used my other finance books and the Internet to help me get through the class, as this book was hard to read, not well organized and offered little help to answer questions that required financial calculations. You better be up on finance topics, statistics, and know all the little symbols because that's all the book provides you. It does little to help you apply real world solutions to "theoretical" problems.

1 out of 5 stars Bad Finances.......2006-03-16

I am presently in a MBA program and have been forced to use this book for our intermediate financial decison class. I have found it to be of very little help and actually muddles things more than clarifying or explaining finances. I have bought 3 other financial books in order to understand the class, all of them better written and far cheaper. This book is terrible in its' semi-explanations of financial formulas. Trying to tie these formulas and examples into any sort of problem application is almost impossible. If you end up having to use this book for a class, you must be prepared to spend a lot more time and money in searching for books that will truly do the job right.

2 out of 5 stars A tough way to learn advanced finance.......2005-02-28

I'm a finance undergrad and currently in an MBA program and had to use this book for my advanced topics in finance class. The book is a difficult read. Hard to mow your way through the subjects and come out feeling like you learned something. CD is only mildly helpful. I also purchased the study guide and it was just as poorly designed/organized/written as the book.

If you have to use the book for a class, plan on getting one of Aswath Damordaran's books to supplement it. Damordaran is just hands down a better teacher, author and makes finance fun again.

          Book Description

          The free exercise of conscience is under attack in the United States. Already the conservative bloc of the Supreme Court is reversing the progress of religious liberty that had been steadily advancing. And this danger will only increase if more conservative judges are nominated to the court. This is the impassioned argument of Religion on Trial. Visit our website for sample chapters!

          1 out of 5 stars A book that falls way, way short of its promise.......2007-09-06

          I have heard from a colleague that he has a version on CD that is 3 to 4 times longer than the paperback I received. A paperback which stops just prior to the arrival of the last two Bush appointees to the bench. Therefore, it (this book) falls way short of describing and/or exposing the extreme right-wing flavor of the court as it exists today. A court that is so blatantly political that it disgraces itself almost as much as the Bush Whitehouse does with alarming regularity. I expect Roe V. Wade to fall anytime now. How sad.

          5 out of 5 stars Religious Liberty Imperiled by Supreme Court.......2004-08-25

          Excerpt from introduction: Our argument is organized in three parts. First, we examine the origin of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. Since the regressive turn in current Supreme Court jurisprudence is usually carried out in the name of the Framers' "original intent," we look for what must have been the thinking of the Framers of the Constitution as they set up a tripartite government of checks and balances. We look especially at the role of the judicial branch and conclude that the Framers would applaud the expanded notion of religious liberty that emerged in twentieth-century jurisprudence.
          Second, we look at the record of the judicial system from 1789 through the 1930s. We learn that the narrow understanding of the First Amendment advocated by today's regressive justices does not reflect the thinking or intentions of the eighteenth-century Framers of the Constitution and Bill of Rights but rather reflects an understanding of church and state that emerged in the nineteenth century.
          Third, we look closely at the last half century of U.S. Supreme Court decisions on church-state issues, seeing them as a critical battleground for progressives who would further expand religious liberty and for regressives who would subject that liberty to majority rule.
          The resolution of these two issues in favor of an ever-expanding religious freedom-what Justice O'Connor calls "well-settled First Amendment jurisprudence"-is now under assault. Religious liberty or conscience is in jeopardy, threatened by those who in our view woefully misconstrue the course of religious freedom in America.

              Book Description

              Lifting Titan's Veil is a revealing account of the second largest moon in our solar system. This world in orbit around Saturn is the only body in the solar system with an atmosphere strikingly similar to Earth's. Titan is like a giant frozen laboratory that may help scientists understand the first chemical steps towards the origin of life. Beginning with its discovery in 1655, the authors describe our current knowledge of Titan, including observations made before the space age, results from the Voyager missions of the 1980s, and recent revelations from the world's most advanced telescopes. In Lifting Titan's Veil, Ralph Lorenz includes his personal experiences in preparing for the Cassini mission, which will reach Saturn in 2004 and release the Huygens probe into Titan's atmosphere in 2005. A splendid introduction to Titan, this book will appeal to anyone interested in astronomical discovery and space exploration. Ralph Lorenz trained as an engineer and worked for the European Space Agency at the very beginning of the Huygens project. Since obtaining a PhD at the University of Kent, England, he has worked as a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, Tucson. His research interests focus on Titan, but also include climatology, radar, impact dynamics and spacecraft and instrumentation design. He has been involved in NASA's largest planetary mission (Cassini) and its smallest (the DS-2 Mars Microprobes). Jacqueline Mitton obtained a Ph.D in astrophysics from the University of Cambridge, and is now a full-time writer and media consultant specializing in astronomy. She has served as Press Officer for the Royal Astonomical Society since 1989, and was Editor of the Journal of the British Astronomical Association 1989-1993. She has written or co-authored sixteen published astronomy books, the most recent, The Cambridge Dictionary of Astronomy (2001).

              5 out of 5 stars A Pale Orange Dot.......2004-06-06

              Rare is the work that meets the high publication standards within a given scientific discipline while being simultaneously accessible to the public at large. In particular, and notwithstanding its cachet and increasing multidisciplinary approach, the field of planetary sciences often offers up works that are either overspecialized to the point of alienating all but a very select readership or those works appealing to a broad audience but derisively dismissed by experts as popularizing and superficial. Bridging the wide chasm separating these two extremes requires talented writing. LIFTING TITAN'S VEIL: EXPLORING THE GIANT MOON OF SATURN, by Ralph Lorenz and Jacqueline Mitton, is a book that accomplishes this with a professionally credible, yet highly readable, account of mankind's attempts to unravel the mysteries of Saturn's largest moon. Lorenz and Mitton succeed in this collaboration due in no small part to their highly impressive credentials. The former is one of today's most prolific planetary scientists, especially regarding the study of Titan, and also a participant in the current Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan. The latter, with a Ph.D. in astrophysics, is a renowned science writer credited with authorship or co-authorship of sixteen astronomy-related works.

              Answering, in the most basic way, the "why" question that often accompanies any discussion of planetary exploration, the authors write, "More than anything else, planetary exploration gives us a sense of perspective, a notion of who we are, where we came from and what our destiny might be. We can learn from all worlds. Each planet and moon in the solar system has its own unique history. Each is an experiment with a different set of conditions..." More specifically, they note that Titan, with its orange-tinted, nitrogen-rich 1.5 bar atmosphere containing traces of hydrocarbons and other organics, might represent an analogue, albeit a cyrogenic one, of the prebiotic atmosphere surrounding early Earth. Considering that mankind has yet to demonstrate time travel, studying Titan may be the only way (outside of modelling and laboratory experiments, both of which have obvious limitations) to explore this critical phase in Earth's history. It goes without saying that studying Titan, especially in situ, is exploration at the cutting edge.

              Coming at an especially propitious moment, the book provides a comprehensive synthesis of the body of Titan-related science, which is placed into historical context. Starting with the moon's discovery in 1655 by Christiaan Huygens, the Dutch astronomer, LIFTING TITAN'S VEIL spans a time frame of three and a half centuries of astronomical observations leading up to the modern era of spacecraft reconnaissance and exploration. The book is organized topically, with a distinct narrative style (e.g., the unique "Ralph's Log" feature), and runs the gamut from astronomy to meterology to geology to speculation about future Titan exploration. I highly recommend LIFTING TITAN'S VEIL to all readers. Anyone interested in Titan, this "pale orange dot," will, I think, find something of worth in this work. Indeed, I personally feel that Chapter 3, "Titan's puzzling atmosphere," is alone worth the price of the book.

              5 out of 5 stars interesting scientific work.......2003-11-01

              This book is fun for whoever loves science.Its an example of applying science to data gathered from earth telescopes and space probes,mainly through the eyes of Hubble and Voyager. Attempts at explaining theoretical models behind possible chemical and physical processes at work on this moon are made.It would be interesting to compare the current thinking with what Cassini will actually reveal in a years time!

              4 out of 5 stars Very good book on what we know now........2003-02-04

              The authors do a good job in this book and it is a good read. What is interesting is how much we do not know about this amazing satellite. We have no idea about what the surface is like. In less than 5 years the Cassini mission w/ the Huygens lander will make this book obsolete. You have to wonder why this book was written so close to Cassini's arrival. Until then this book should be standard text in any amatuer astronomers library. The authors give too much credit to Carl Sagan and not enough to the real scientists who have contributed to our limited knowledge on the subject. Besides that this book almost gets my highest rating.

              5 out of 5 stars Titan And The Pursuit Of Science.......2002-12-31

              This is an exciting time for planetary exploration, when after the solar system has been reconnoitered by spacecraft (except Pluto) and now spacecraft are being sent to specific planets and moons, etc., for closer examination. LIFTING TITAN'S VEIL covers the Cassini mission to Saturn and it's large moon Titan, known to possess a thick atmosphere and perhaps a hydrocarbon ocean, due to insert itself into Saturnian orbit in July, 2004, the attached Huygens probe should enter Titan's atmosphere January, 2005.

              The authors include a lot of science in this volume, including background information concerning moons and planets across the solar system. Most of this book covers Titan of course, what we know about it and how we came about that knowledge, from early times to the present. Titan's atmosphere and surface and sub-surface conditions recieve the most attention, with the chemistry of the atmosphere discussed at length. Also, the authors debate the possibility of an ethane/methane ocean existing on Titan as the surface temperature, according to available evidence, is close to the triple point of methane. All of this science can of course, as the authors point out, shed light on the formation and evolution of the solar system and in turn give us clues to our own origins in the misty past. As a chemist I especially enjoyed the information on the chemistry of Titan, and the space-buff in me enjoyed all of it. In addition, the Cassini spacecraft is detailed, and there are lots of illustrations, many in color.

              On a personal note, I remember being at the space center as a visitor just a few days before the launch of Cassini, in October, 1997, and thinking that here is this spacecraft sitting out there on the pad just a few hundred yards from the Atlantic beach, I wondered then, will Huygens, at the end of it's journey, find another beach? Space travel is cool!

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2002-06-28

              In "Lifting Titan's Veil", Ralph Lorenz and Jacqueline Mitton have written a lucid account of what we know about Titan, and how the Huygens probe which will parachute down to its surface in 2005 is designed to tell us more. As a research scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory whose doctoral thesis was on the topic, Ralph is well placed to sift through the various competing theories. In fact, he designed the probe's spear-like penetrometer which - if all goes to plan - will be the first human artefact to come into contact with this intriguing moon's surface. As an avid reader on the topic, I thoroughly recommend this book.

                ASIN: 0198558120

                Book Description

                Nuclear magnetic resonance techniques have advanced dramatically in recent years, and are now more powerful and more versatile than ever before. To exploit these techniques efficiently, the chemist must have both an understanding of their theoretical basis and the ability to interpret the spectra accurately. The new edition of this established workbook develops the latter skill to an advanced level by a combination of worked examples and set problems that cover one- and two-dimensional NMR techniques applied to organic and inorganic systems. Most of the problems are genuine research examples, and this new edition contains eight pages of problems drawn from very recent research work. This second edition is fully compatible with the second edition of Modern NMR Spectroscopy: a guide for chemists, and the two books are thoroughly cross referenced throughout.

                    Book Description

                    A creationist response to the National Academy of Science's Teaching About Evolution and the Nature of Science. The latter, distributed nationwide to thousands of public school teachers, is an effort to saturate students with evolutionary concepts. Refuting Evolution is a cogent rebuttal, carefully examining the points raised in the NAS booklet: science and religion; natural selection; bird evolution; astronomy; the age of the earth, etc.

                    1 out of 5 stars Science? Science fiction!.......2007-08-24

                    Sarfati's science is abysmal. Period. Victoria University of Wellington should be ashamed of itself if this is the kind of "scientists" it is turning out, although I suspect Sarfati's religious pathology would misconstrue the facts of scientific reality no matter where he earned his degrees.

                    REFUTING EVOLUTION is so full of elementary errors in astronomy, chemistry, geology and the nature of science, that I half-suspected Sarfati to be an 'agent provocateur' really working in the service of science and that he was only offering up this book as 'disinformation' to make the Creationists look bad by assuming they were either too ignorant, too lazy, or too complacent to bother researching his laughable (and patently inaccurate) claims.

                    The more I read, however, it began to dawn on me that Sarfati actually believed the fantasies he was doling out even though they go against all the basic findings of elementary science. This is downright frightening, to see how religious fanaticism (a kind of mental pathology) should have such a stanglehold on what might otherwise turn out to be a strong and rational mind. It's a pity to see such potential wasted in the service of supernaturalism, magical thinking, and science fiction! What else is Sarfati deliberately and rigorously pretending not to know?

                    1 out of 5 stars HOLY Crap! Your BOTH right????.......2007-03-21

                    Ok, If ONE point stands up in this joke book, it is that PERHAPS DNA must have been introduced. Granted, I'm High as hell- and you might have to be to accept this detail- but MAYBE God did decide to throw earth that bone. It kind of does make sense, (of course, probably just because our knowledge of the past does not reach this far yet) BUT, the 'what came first, the chicken or the egg' mentality he presents us holds up fairly well. But then again, I've got a few years of school in my future, it could all be just as retarded as the rest of his information seems.

                    ALRIGHT PEOPLE LISTEN UP! He bitches and bitches about no 'transitional' creatures having been found (that is, IF you allow him his shallow discredits of Archeopterix(sp.) and friends).
                    ~All I have to say to that is HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FRIGGEN' DUCK BILLED PLATIPUS?!?!?!?!?!



                    Oh, and those 'feathers' on that lizard the media supposedly 'falsely' reported on that turned out to be cartilage... am I the ONLY one who sees this as obvious evidence of PREfeathers?!?!?!?!

                    4 out of 5 stars He Has a Point.......2007-03-12

                    After reading this, I see why people have given it bad reviews, as it challenges the belief of evolution and provides scientific evidence of Creation by God. The facts in this book are very accurate and the author has many references both Biblical and non-Biblical to back up his information. The book does a good job describing different theories and hypothesis that science has skimmed over. Evolution is a hot topic for debate, and although Creationism can not be scientifically prove, evolution cannot either, however, there are many signs, evidence, and indicators that Sarfati points out to demonstrate that evolution is not as sound as some believe it to be.

                    5 out of 5 stars Rock solid evidence to refute evolution.......2007-02-26

                    The author does an great job at cutting through the paleobabble of every atheist's favorite pseudoscience, evolution. While the PBS show claims evolution to be fact, Sarfati succintly dismantles the 'evidence' with scientific precision.[...]

                    5 out of 5 stars great.......2007-02-13

                    I received this book promptly and at a good price. I definitely appreciate that kind of service.

                        What the critics are saying about Just Wait Until We Get Home:

                        "It looks like a really great book...judging it by its cover. I haven't actually read it yet, but I hope to soon."—Boston Accent & Times Tribune

                        "A subtle murder mystery with deep, complex characters and an interesting, involved subplot make this story a real suspense-filled page turner...or no, wait, hold the line a second, that's a different book entirely. Uhm, I believe we have some sort of mix up here. Sorry about that. Nevermind!"—Southern Drawl & Globe Gazette

                        "The book Just Wait Until We Get Home! is an abomination. It is in no way representative of the people of the great Midwest, the heartland of our country. We are not all vandals and criminals. I think Tristram Hoosier should get a day job."—Midwestern Twang & Town Crier

                        In Tristram Hoosier's second book about his family and growing up in Gary, Indiana, a neighbor's garage burns down, a grandmother reminisces about how Tristram's great-grandfather was arrested during Prohibition, an aunt makes a drug bust, a neighbor kid builds a real, working cannon in metal shop and a church bake sale turns into a disaster. Just Wait Until We Get Home! clearly illustrates that it's never too early to start procrastinating.
