Everywoman's Money: Less Debt, More Cash
Avis Pohl Manufacturer: Alpha ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 002864011X |
Customer Reviews:
It really hits Home!.......2001-02-17
Not only does it illustrate what women are faced with in this day and age, but it shows that each one of us are different and yet, we are all trying to accomplish one goal. This book is making me come to terms with money management issues that I have been ignoring for some time. But, it also lets me know that I am not alone.
I like the step by step approach that the author has taken to help us look at ourselves and to help us set realistic goals for ourselves.
This book is a must for all women, whether you are trying to make it on your own or you are trying to get out of the shadows of your spouse. You are not alone. Read it and enjoy some truly remarkable ideas for a better tomorrow.
Finally! A Book about Money with a Sense of Perspective.......2001-02-08
This book understands that many of my goals and values are qualitative and are not specifically tied to my net asset value. But it also realizes that income and wealth can directly affect my ability to do the things I do find important, whether it is allowing me to contribute to my favorite charity, taking that much needed trip to Paris every other year or making sure I have the flexibility a few years from now to choose a different career.
I liked the practical step by step approach, the fact that it addressed all aspects of wealth management from judicious use of debt to saving and investing to understanding your spending to maximizing your employment income and opportunities. As someone no longer in her twenties, I also appreciated that for once their was a book with a practical guide to getting started that was geared toward starting at any age.
Much like the periodic reviews it advocates, I am going to put this book on my calendar and return to it once a year to make sure my life goals and my financial goals are still aligned.
I highly recommend this for women of any age who want to gain a healthy perspective on money and wealth.

Innovation in Natural Resource Management: The Role of Property Rights and Collective Action in Developing Countries (International Food Policy Research Institute)
Ruth Meinzen-Dick Manufacturer: International Food Policy Research Institute ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0801871433 |
Book Description
International agricultural research is expanding beyond the development of annual crop technologies for individual farms to the development of longer-term natural resource management techniques for entire landscapes. But technologies or practices with a long lag time between investment and returns are unlikely to be adopted by farmers unless they have secure rights to the underlying resources (property rights). Similarly, technologies that span multiple farms are unlikely to be adopted unless neighbors and groups work together (collective action). But little is known about the way property rights and collective action in developing countries mediate the adoption of technologies by farmers and groups.
To address this information gap, this volume brings together international experts in economics, sociology, and natural resource management to examine the links among property rights, collective action, and technological change for a variety of technologies across a range of community contexts in the developing world. Authors focus on the reciprocal relationships between community institutions and technologies, the role of property rights in conflicts between crop and livestock production systems, and the way that collective action differs across landscapes. A conceptual framework, methodological approaches, and "best bet"practices are presented to help guide future research.
Researchers, policy analysts, and students interested in the links between environmental sustainability, economic growth, equity and poverty alleviation, and technology adoption will benefit from this volume.

Atlas of Historical Eclipse Maps: East Asia 1500 BC-AD 1900
M A Houlden , and F. R. Stephenson Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0521267234 |
Book Description
This book presents a series of computer-drawn maps and tables for all eclipses of the Sun calculated to have been observable in East Asia in the 3400 years from 1500 BC to AD 1900. The study of past eclipses is a useful tool in determining the long-term behaviour of astronomical phenomena, such as the Earth’s rate of rotation and the size of the Sun. The eclipses of the Sun that occurred in East Asia - notably in China, Korea and Japan - are particularly useful because written records of them exist. An introduction explains the methods used to calculate the parameters and determine the trajectories of each eclipse. Then follow the maps themselves, 862 in all, which plot the path of the umbral region over East Asia and tabulate the longitude, limits of latitude, local time and mean altitude for each event.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cultural Etiquette
Turkington Manufacturer: Alpha ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0028633962 |
Amazon.com
There are so many ways to embarrass yourself in this world. It's easy enough in your own culture, where you know most of the rules, but when you visit a foreign country, social interactions are fraught with gaffe potential. You could shake hands when air kisses were expected, make eye contact in a culture that deems it aggressive and boorish, or bring a hostess a gift of funeral flowers. Even smiles can be misinterpreted; what may seem like a friendly, open gesture to you can signal anger, embarrassment, or disrespect in other cultures.The Complete Idiot's Guide to Cultural Etiquette is a lifesaver for all travelers, especially those attempting business trips on foreign turf. Even before the Guide gets into the particulars of Israel, India, Singapore, and Japan, its "Overview of International Etiquette" offers enough pointers, reminders, and general cultural sagacity to make it worth the purchase, introducing conventions whose norms differ from culture to culture (thereby providing fertile fields for insults and misunderstandings) such as gestures, table manners, dress, gifts, punctuality, and interpersonal space. Geared toward the businessperson, Turkington's guide suggests you dress conservatively, behave with respect, and refrain from telling jokes in languages you barely know. It also points out that it's always worthwhile learning your host country's history, culture, and language before you get there, and recommends obtaining business cards printed in English on one side and the language of the country you're visiting on the reverse.
Most of the book is dedicated to specific cultural phenomena in 26 regions, covering Canada to Latin America, Belgium to Russia, and Taiwan to Saudi Arabia. In Portugal, for instance, dress is formal, small talk doesn't include politics or government, business cards are vital, chrysanthemums are associated with death, and dinner is generally eaten around 8 p.m., whereas in Hungary, punctuality is prized, halo can be used for both hello and goodbye, and you should never chew gum in public.
With her Complete Idiot's Guide to Cultural Etiquette, Turkington offers a major contribution to world peace and compatibility. All you need for avoiding international egg on your face is to read the appropriate chapters in advance and remember never to turn your back on royalty when leaving a room--back up three paces first and then pivot. --Stephanie Gold

Death Penalty (Point Crime S.)
Dennis Hamley Manufacturer: Scholastic Point ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 059055705X |
Customer Reviews:
The Gretest Piece of Literature Ever Written.......2002-05-25
Hamley has somehow managed to create a plot which is completely choc-a-bloc full of action, suspense, significant clues and a character which can be related to in Stu.
There are no flaws in this novel.
The mass selection of characters would seem confusing, however Hamley has allowed the reader to relate to them and realise who they are, easily and rapidly. This is unlike the classic novels PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, HARRY POTTER and the over rated LORD OF THE RINGS.
The suspense builds up to the absolute extreme, through the frequent occurances of relevant and important incidents.
With it's status in the crime genre and it's basis of soccer, many readers will become involved in the novel, and not just crime or soccer fans, due to it's lyrical beauty.
The climax is so surprising, unexpected and dramatic, i will not even begin to mention the slightest detail about the ending.
This book is recommended for, quite simply, anyone over 12.
You will end up loving this novel, it's inevitable
And any directors or fim makers out there, this book is made for the movies, and will attract masses to the cinema.
Well done Dennis Hamley, every award in Literature should be awarded to you due to DEATH PENALTY!
Good, if you're a football fan.......2000-08-13
