A smart choice for plan administrators.......2004-05-07

Being the administrator of a company's retirement plan is a task very few people are intially equipped to handle. The administrators of most plans come either from the world of finance or human resources, which in either case provides only a portion of the skills necessary to administer a plan. This book provides an excellent summary of the responisibilites and liabilites of a plan administrator. It makes you fully aware of the extremely high standard imposed by federal law. Most importantly, it walks a person through each of the moving parts of a plan and explains in detail the administrative processes involved in each component.

I work as a consultant for several plan sponsors. I can not think of a better basic reference for those new to the responsibilites of retirement plan administration.

Smart Choices - Great Book!.......2004-04-30

I have worked on retirement plans for over 8 years and I am currently a retirement plan consultant.

This is by far the best book that I have read in regards to
401(k)s. It is written extremely well and really teaches one a lot about retirement plans. I use this book as a refresher for myself. The author is very intelligent and has extensive insight on 401(k) plans. It is also written in a very easy to understand manner.

If you are a plan sponsor, retirement broker/consultant or somehow involved in retirement plans, I strongly encourage you to read this book. In fact, I have sent this book to all my clients.

Very useful. Well written. Easy to read........2004-04-25

This is a very good book. It provides insights into the 401(k) world I had never thought of. This book is highly recommended.

The best!!!.......2004-04-23

As a 401(k) trustee, I found this book to be extremely useful, easy to read, full of exactly what I needed and was looking for. Even many of the participants in our plan have read it - and gained answers to the questions they always ask me. My advice to all retirement plan trustees...buy your participants this book and ask them to read it! My compliments to Mr. Gnabasik!

Good Book but requires a lot of research by investors.......2004-02-05

It was a good book with a lot of common sense information. Also, according to this author the 401k participant needs to do quite a bit of research of his investment options on the regular basis. However, all this approaches are already automated and believe it or not there are independent companies out there that will do all this research for you on the regular basis. For example there is a company called StockRing.com that monitors your 401(k) account and tells you if you need to add some new fund there or sell some of you lagging funds. They do a lot of research for you so you can just focus your attention on 1 or 2 "bad" apples in your 401k portfolio and replace them with better choices offered by your 401k administrator.

Good Questions but not sorted.......2005-03-12

Sure this book has tons of great USMLE type questions, and doing questions will help cement the key facts that you learn while studying for boards. However, this book is just a series of 17 entire practice exams. The questions are NOT organized into topics which I found to be key to studying (this is why so many students spend $$$ for the Kaplan QBank because you can choose questions that you just studied that day). Its hard, frustrating, and low yield to do questions if you have not studied the topic yet. I only recommend using this book when you have completely mastered all the subject topics of the USMLE.

To much repetitive but still good..........2004-09-04

Well, I did like this book. However, it has a very inconvenient particularity: questions are so repetitive. I mean, for a patient description, two many questions were asked, of course, for different aspects of that particular patient. But it, then, moves away from the original purpose, which is to simulate, as much close as possible, the "real-life" aspects of USMLE test. Still, the CD-ROM that accompanies the book is not well formulated. It has the advantage of allowing to choose topics to study but it gets so boring when you try to simulate the 50-questions set of USMLE and it starts repeating questions all over again. So, please, take care when you buy this book: if you want to review by topics, good; if the purpose is to simulate USMLE, forget this book...

NMS CD.......2000-06-20

This CD may have had a lot of good practice questions, but I'll never know since I couldn't stand the format. Answers to the questions are provided, but they are long-winded and address a whole block of questions (not just the question you are working on). The display is too small to display all the choices, making it difficult to compare answers. If you're looking for a practice CD that simulates Step I conditions, this isn't it.

This is a very comprehensive review in question format with detailed explanations. Several of my classmates used this book alone in their preparation for Step 2.

Book Description

Many of the most spectacular astronomical objects are found in the southern skies. With this up-to-date, superbly illustrated handbook, both the amateur with binoculars and the expert with a telescope can make discoveries about new and interesting objects. Professor E. J. Hartung first produced his comprehensive and highly respected guide in 1968. Now the book has been greatly expanded and thoroughly revised, enhancing its character as an indispensable information source. With over 150 illustrations, new material is included on constellations and celestial coordinate systems as well as more modern descriptions of stars, nebulae and galaxies. The authors have included a new "southern Messier" list of objects. The authors' passion for their subject make this a unique and inspirational book. Many of the beautiful photographs were taken by David Malin, the world's leading astronomical photographer. The result will fascinate active and armchair astronomers alike.

A great by-the-telescope companion to Southern observers.......2000-03-31

I love this book. It has been my sole companion during long nights of telescope observation.

Most amateur astronomy guides have been written by people living in the Northern Hemisphere, thus neglecting the wonderful objects available to Southern observers. We have access to the Magellanic Clouds, Carina, the best globular clusters, the center of the Milky Way, etc. I have known amateurs that, misled by Northern guides (which are a lot cheaper), venerated the Orion nebula but knew nothing about Eta Carinae ! Or the Magellanic Clouds. What a shame !

The book begins with a very concise and to the point theoretical exposition of the main objects of observation for amateur astronomers. Although I had already read quite a few astronomy books before this one, this section proved insightful and useful.

The guide then presents a large list of astronomical objets available from the Southern Hemisphere, with the usual characterizarion by popular and catalogue names, kind, visual magnitude, etc. and giving the exact RA-DEC coordinates for epoch 2000 (my other guide, the venerable Burnham's Celestial Handbook is based on epoch 1950 coordintes).

A beautiful collection of photographs by the magician of astronomical photography (David Malin) embellishes the book, but is somehow disconnected from the rest of the content, in the sense that it presents astronomical objects as they are recorded by film and not the human eye at the eyepiece, and is thus not very hepful for finding and appreciating them.

But the core of the book is the description of astronomical objects, organized by constellation. This has proved to be a key resource for me in the planning of my observing sessions. A selection of "best objects" is always subjective, so you have to rely on the good judgement of the author. Besides, you cannot base your choices just on the scientific value or the interest to research observatories: the relative value of objects can never be the same to an amateur with a 10 inch telescope than it is to a professional astronomer with access to a 5 meter scope. A galaxy that looks wonderful on a Palomar, Keck or HST photograph, can be no more than a source of frustration for amateurs with standard equipment.

A handbook for amateur astronomers has to be a very different thing than an Astronomy handbook.

It is in this sense that the book excels. The advise, from the standpoint of amateurs, on the best objects to point your scope to, and on what to expect at the eyepiece has proved to be right again and again. It is like having with you a very experienced friend with your same equipment. Given the very limited dark-site time I have, I greatly appreciate the possibility of making the best use of it.

If have a moderately large amateur telescope and you live in the Southern Hemisphere, this book, ...is a very good investment. Especially considering the cost of all the equipment you already own! Think of it as the software for your hardware...

Book Description

Since it was first published in 1968, this reference book has enjoyed enormous popularity as a handbook for amateur observers of the southern sky. Five introductory chapters discuss briefly the various types of objects available for study. They are followed by a table and descriptions of over 1000 objects between the South Pole and 50N declination, each of which was observed by the author. An addendum lists a further 80 objects visible to more northerly observers. There is also a valuable chapter on equipment and observing for amateurs.

Book Description

How can we identify events due to intelligent causes and distinguish them from events due to undirected natural causes? If we lack a causal theory how can we determine whether an intelligent cause acted? This book presents a reliable method for detecting intelligent causes: the design inference. The design inference uncovers intelligent causes by isolating the key trademark of intelligent causes: specified events of small probability. Design inferences can be found in a range of scientific pursuits from forensic science to research into the origins of life to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This challenging and provocative book will be read with particular interest by philosophers of science and religion, other philosophers concerned with epistemology and logic, probability and complexity theorists, and statisticians.

When Is The Design Inference Warranted?.......2007-01-31

_The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance Through Small Probabilities_ in the Cambridge Studies in Probability, Induction, and Decision Theory series, by mathematician and philosopher William Dembski is a fascinating book which lays out the case for the design inference attempting to show when such an inference is warranted. Dembski is currently a Fellow at the Discovery Institute, and this book was his dissertation for his doctoral degree in philosophy. The central question motivating this book is stated as "How can we identify events due to intelligent causes and distinguish them from events due to undirected natural causes?" The manner in which Dembski proposes this is done is through the design inference, which relies on uncovering intelligent causes by isolating the key trademark of intelligent causes: specified events of small probability. As Dembski shows in this book the applications of the design inference are widespread. Among other examples, Dembski considers the role of the design inference in forensic science, cryptography, the origins of life, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and parapsychology. Perhaps the most controversial application of the design inference occurs in the role of design in the origin of life. From this controversy, has arisen the debate between the standard Darwinian account of the origin of life and the account of life's origins given by the Intelligent Design Movement. Unfortunately, there are profound philosophical implications underlying this debate and this has led to the politicization of the debate itself. This is an unfortunate state of affairs because rather than allowing for the subject to be debated in a rational manner, the debate has instead moved into a state where each side engages in hysterics and attempts to slander the other side. However, if one wishes to understand this debate from an objective standpoint, this book is essential. Modern Western mainstream science has long waged a war on "the design inference" (since the time of Darwin), seeing in it an appeal to the supernatural. This has led to various domains which may make use of this inference (such as parapsychology) to be stigmatized and labeled as pseudo-science. However, as this book effectively shows, it is necessary to take a new look at the role of the design inference, free from the dogmatic tendencies ensconced in scientific orthodoxy. It should also be pointed out though that this book is highly mathematical in nature, and relies on probability theory to make its case. Following the mathematics may prove at times difficult for some.

In his introduction, Dembski considers the history of the idea of eliminating chance through small probabilities. One of the earliest instances of such an argument occurs in the writings of Cicero. But, later mathematicians and philosophers such as Laplace, Thomas Reid, and de Moivre appealed to this argument. From the history of science, a famous instance of the use of the design inference occurs when Ronald Fisher used it to show that Mendel's experimental results were falsified. Dembski also notes the role of this inference in the intelligent design debate. It should be pointed out that while noted Darwinists such as Richard Dawkins allow for the possibility of this argument, they maintain that in the case of the emergence of life the probabilities involved are not small enough. The mathematician Emile Borel was the first to state a version of the Law of Small Probabilities (what he called the "Single Law of Chance") as "Phenomenon with very small probabilities do not occur." However, there are difficulties with Borel's formulation, and a distinction must be made between patterns which are specified and patterns which are fabricated. As it turns out, the Law of Small Probabilities can be stated as "specified events of small probability do not occur by chance". What constitutes a "small probability" is another question, which was considered by Borel, and Dembski elaborates on such considerations. Another question for the design inference that occurs is what is meant by an "intelligent agent". Dembski then proceeds to give some examples of the design inference in the case of the legal system, forensic science, cryptography, and SETI. Following this, Dembski explains the design inference, proposing an explanatory filter which allows for one to determine whether an event occurs as a result of a regularity, chance, or design. Once the design inference has been written as an argument in symbolic form, the rest of this book will be devoted to showing that such an inference is valid and expounding upon the Law of Small Probability. In the case of the Creation-Evolution controversy, the design inference becomes a possibility. However, as Dembski shows the premise rejected by the evolutionist is either that "If Life is due to chance, then Life has small probability" or "Life is not due to regularity". To get around the first premise, evolutionists such as Dawkins may attempt to appeal to greater probabilistic resources, for example invoking the fact that one must consider the possibility that life can occur on any of all the planets in the universe or even the possibility of other universes and then invoking the Anthropic Principle (as Barrow and Tipler do). Some such as Kaufman have tried to get around the second premise by maintaining that life results from regularity and "crystallizes" at a phase transition. However, as Dembski successfully shows later in the book all of these approaches by evolutionists are problematic. Dembski then considers what is meant by intelligent agency. The next two chapters are highly technical and lay the groundwork for probability theory and complexity theory. Dembski explains Bayes' theorem, probability, background information, and likelihood. Following this, Dembski explains complexity, tractability, and randomness. In particular, applications occur in proof theory in a formal axiomatic system. Dembski also explains specification and detachability as well as prediction. Dembski then revisits the notion of randomness, showing how one can only know randomness from what it is not, and explaining the notion of Kolmogorov complexity. Following this, Dembski returns to the idea of small probability. Here, he explains what is meant by the idea of probabilistic resources. In particular, the evolutionist will attempt to invoke probabilistic resources (all the planets in the universe, the possibility of multiple universes, etc.) in his attempt to disallow the design inference. Dembski in particular regards attempts to appeal to multiple universes (or the "multiple worlds" of one interpretation of quantum mechanics or the "possible worlds" of philosophers) as being part of an "inflationary fallacy". Such notions defy common-sense and also an appeal to Occam's razor. Dembski ends by fully justifying the Law of Small Probability based on his foundational discussion in the past chapters. In the epilogue, Dembski argues against some of the criticisms that have been made of the design inference. In particular, it has been maintained that the design inference may amount to an appeal to the supernatural in certain cases (particularly as concerns the origin of life on earth and in certain instances in parapsychology). However, I believe this results more from a prejudice against the supernatural by scientists than any legitimate objection. Dembski also shows what is meant by coincidence (for example he considers the case of a coincidence which occurred to Carl Jung that he regarded as an instance of "synchronicity"). Finally, Dembski argues for the importance of information, maintaining along with Keith Devlin that "information should be regarded as . . . a basic property of the universe, alongside matter and energy (and being ultimately interconvertible with them)."

This is perhaps one of the most important books written on the issue of the design inference. The implications of this book are far reaching. And, if one hopes to understand the current debate over the origins of life on earth, this is essential reading.

A Pleasant Surprise: Readable, Reasonable, and Precise.......2006-08-26

Some time after the publication of this book I felt I had to read it since it was making such a stir and I'm doing my PhD in Philosophy focusing on Probability Theory and Philosophy of Religion. I had tried to avoid the fray, but I couldn't put it off any longer.

I was very happy to find the book immanently readable (some training in mathematical logic is very helpful indeed, but even the reader lacking in that will, I think, find much worthwhile even skipping over the symbols). Dembski's main concern is to define his terms with as much precision and rigor as possible. He does this admirably. In fact, I'd say the book is a model of method. He is clearly trying to be clear and largely succeeds.

It is obvious that most people who talk about "Intelligent Design" (Dembski's 2002 *application* of the design inference from InterVarsity Press)--both pro and con--don't know much of *anything* about it. Thus, this is the perfect book since it's main goal is to communicate the understanding of the subject and illustrate its usefulness to a wide variety of disciplines. So if you really want to understand the cognitive architecture behind the Intelligent Design movement, read this book.

The Design Inference.......2006-08-18

One needs more than a college logic course to follow this one; however, it is a fascinating trip through probability theory, with interesting examples, and Dembski "probably" comes as close as anyone ever has to establishing valid bechmarks for deciding what are random, chance or coincidental events and what are not.

A Fresh Take On Klingon Cosmology Courtesy of Dembski's Bizarre Usage of Probability Theory.......2006-08-13

Trying to read "The Design Inference: Eliminating Chance through Small Probabilities" is like trying to understand a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta or a James Joyce novel without having had any prior exposure to their works. One doesn't really need to have a first rate understanding of theoretical probability and statistics (which I don't since I am at best, a decent applied biostatistician), to realize that Dembski's argument holds little intellectual weight, in its preposterous claim that the likelihood of extremely rare events would point to the existence of an unseen "Intelligent Designer" (I wonder whether such events would be the result of random variation, which would not in itself point to an "Intelligent Designer", or rather, dare I say it - GOD - as the source of these events.). Or perhaps Dembski's rather ponderous text might be more appropriately, a suitable intellectual exercise demonstrating why Klingon cosmology does exist, replete with a Klingon heaven and hell (After all, since we see Klingons often on television, then they must truly exist.).

I had the unique opportunity of speaking to William Dembski a few years ago, after a debate on Intelligent Design held at the American Museum of Natural History, in which Dembski and fellow Intelligent Design advocate Michael Behe argued in favor, while opposing them were philosopher Robert Pennock, author of "Tower of Babel" (which contains a devestatingly brilliant critique of Intelligent Design) and my friend Ken Miller, author of "Finding Darwin's God (which has a superb critique of Behe's notion of irreducible complexity as proof of an unseen "Intelligent Designer"). Much to my amazement, Dembski could not answer well a trivial question I had regarding probability and statistics. So can I truly regard his book as a great leap forward in theoretical probability? Of course no, since "The Design Inference" is a philosophical text that should be of interest to those who enjoy hearing the "technobabble" of recent "Star Trek" television series, especially when such "technobabble" is translated into Klingon.

(EDITORIAL NOTE: I suppose the person who offered the interesting comment (see below) hasn't read either my Personal Profile page or the first paragraph of my review carefully. I have a background in biostatistics due to my graduate education in ecology and evolutionary biology. I was absolutely stunned that William Dembski could not answer a simple question I had on elementary statistics, when we met after the AMNH ID debate a few years ago. So I have every reason to be skeptical of Dembski's "expertise" in probability and statistics.)

A Technical Academic Treatise on Detecting Design in Nature.......2006-06-22

The Design Inference is William Dembski's first major work on intelligent design. Published by Cambridge University Press in the wake of Dembski's Ph.D. in mathematics, this book lays out a detailed and rigorous statistical method by which we can detect design. The highlight of Dembski's work is an "explanatory filter," which can be used to determine if design should be inferred, and a "law of small probability," which attempts to ensure that design theory will avoid the crime of making false positives.

Dembski begins by providing many common fields where design detection is already established. It is here that common examples such as the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, forensic science, and archaeology were first provided as examples of scientific disciplines which use design reasoning. Dembski also offers an in-depth analysis of how intelligent agents operate, devising a "specified complexity" criterion by which we can detect design in these fields and others, such as biology.

This book is highly technical and probably not amenable to the lay reader. It is full of statistics and set-theory which provide formal mathematical explanations for how we detect design. If this is your cup of tea, then The Design Inference cannot be left sitting on the shelf. But even the non-technical reader will take away from this book the sense that intelligent design is a serious intellectual project. Darwinists have promoted a mythology that design is simply a religious agenda masquerading as science. What Darwinists fear most is a peer-reviewed book published by a credentialed scholar with a highly respected academic publisher, which never mentions God but uses the language of science (mathematics) to formalize how we can detect design in biology. This is precisely why they rarely talk about The Design Inference.
