Nice book .......2005-09-09
almost the same as the newer addition , has all the things you ned to know about labor economics
A very interesting textbook about labor economics.......2002-08-07
I was a teaching assistant in a labor economics undergraduate course in Northwestern University that used this book. I found it very interesting and full of real-world examples and discussions. The mathematical level is simple and therefore the book is accessible also to students with only little background in mathematics or economics. The exposition is clear. About half of the problems and the review questions are solved at the end of the book, making it possible for the reader to practice and test her understanding of the material. I believe that most students can understand most of the material in the book even without taking a formal course in labor economics, and therefore I recommend it to anyone who is interested in the functioning of labor markets.
A helpful and informative book.......1999-05-06
I bought this book to use for my Labor Economics class at Cornell University. My professor, Professor Smith, is a contributor to this book and it was a wonderful supplement to the lectures. The book is filled with useful information and practical applications, so its appeal is not limited to economics students, but anyone who wishes to know more about payroll taxes, policy applications, work incentives and the like. This easy-to-understand book benefited me a lot and I would recommend its use to other courses in labor economics at other colleges and universities.
This book is too wordy, puts you to sleep.......1999-04-04
I bought this book for my economics class at Dartmouth College, but it was a horrible book. The text is wordy, verbose, too long. A lot of times, there are unnecessarily explains simple things too long. I hope all of you will find better labor economics text book.

Book Description
Scholars have tended to regard Tolstoy as a disciple of no one except a secularised Jesus, but Henry George was a strong influence; for example, Tolstoy devoted a large portion of his later life to the promulgation of the `single tax' (a main tenet of George's philosophy) as a viable solution to suffering from falsity, greed, poverty, and bankrupt ideologies. The work examined in this volume is a testimony to both Tolstoy and George; it bears witness to a practical, economic and non-violent approach to the organisation of society, free from the domination of individuals, institutions, and mobs.KENNETH C. WENZERis an independent scholar specialising in the study of Henry George, Tolstoy, and Russian history.

Decent Study Guide.......2003-11-08
This study guide was pretty good. The questions have a good mix of difficulty, and the samples and explanations really helped with a couple of the concepts that were pretty unclear in the book.

Book Description
At a time early in the twenty-first century when the nature and future of British farming is very much a matter of public debate, this volume presents an up-to-date overview of the subject between one and two thousand years ago. Its importance lies in providing an authoritative and scholarly synthesis of a great deal of research--environmental, archaeological and historical --which cumulatively makes a significant shift in the understanding of Britain and its farming peoples, of the British landscape and of farming itself.

Book Description
Esta obra, escrita por un destacado científico planetario, expone la curiosa formación del Sistema Solar y describe de manera concisa y rigurosa los conocimientos más recientes acerca de la Tierra, los planetas vecinos y otros sistemas planetarios. En un recorrido vertiginoso se irá descubriendo cómo el surgimiento del gigantesco Júpiter dominó el Sistema Solar, se conocerán las causas que convirtieron Marte en un mundo tan pequeño, de dónde provienen los cometas, cómo se forman anillos alrededor de los planetas, por qué existen los asteroides y qué impide considerar Plutón como un auténtico planeta, además de las diferencias que presentan los mundos gemelos, Venus y la Tierra, y a qué se debe la exclusividad de la Luna y Mercurio. A lo largo de estas páginas se sabrá que la evolución del Sistema Solar ha dependido de una serie de acontecimientos aleatorios. Por último, se consideran las condiciones que reúne la Tierra para albergar vida, si residimos en un universo hecho a medida y cómo son otros sistemas planetarios.

Common Mammals of NM.......2007-01-05
Poor quality paper and pictures. Should be marked as a childrens beginner book only.
Leightweight guide - PACK IT IN!.......2001-01-31
Bought at a visitor center in western New Mexico this tiny book was my lightweight companion (among other humans) during an eight day hike. The black and white drawings are added with comments on habitat and behaviour, size, weight etc. Many of the common mammals of NM are shown: From Black-tailed Jackrabbit to badger, bobcat, peccary. From Porcupine to Bighorn. Even a checklist and the scientific names are included. A very good compilation for the compromise between weight and content. Keep it allways in your pocket!

Just OK.......2006-11-04
Has limited scope as questions are by team many of which hold little interest.
Nothing new here.......2006-07-26
This was an OK trivia book. Standard question-and-answer format of stuff you will find in most baseball trivia books. Mostly run-of-the-mill stuff that I already knew.
A good book with lots of tricky questions !.......2002-09-24
It's a nice book full with nice and tricky questions about the americas past time. It's funny ! Nice to read when you're in the subway or something like that (or when you're fall sleep)... a nice piece filled with history and great moments of baseball !

Book Description
For brides and grooms who want to give their weddings new depth and meaning, two acclaimed poet-translators have gathered a stunning collection of poems and prose that will add a unique and personal dimension to the ceremony.
Customer Reviews:
HORRIBLE!.......2007-09-14
So boring - could they not offer better suggestions? I think I earmarked ONE poem...this is better suited for a traditional, ultra-conservative person who likes these really old-fashioned poems. Nothing updated or modern about it. I hated it. Sorry.
A Wonderful Anthology for the Interfaith or Intercultural Wedding.......2007-01-30
There are many collections of writings out there today which can be used in wedding ceremonies, or in related activities like writing an invitation.
As a practicing interfaith minister, what makes this anthology so special to me is the diversity of sources for the material. It includes writings of everyone from Emily Dickinson, Maria Rilke, and the Christian Bible, to those of Seng-Ts'an, RUMI, and Parancoti Munivar. This is truly a unique gathering of words and philosophies for anyone involved in preparing a wedding ceremony!
Not what I was looking for, BUT GREAT!.......2006-07-25
I've been asked to officiate a Zen wedding in September, and knowing virtually nothing about Zen, I started looking for some good source material to help me put the ceremony together. I googled Zen wedding and this book came up in the search. I also found some reviews that recommended it for that purpose. INTO THE GARDEN: A WEDDING ANTHOLOGY by Robert Hass and Stephen Mitchell has been, at once, both a disappointment and a pleasant surprise.
My quandary goes something like this; I still don't really know where to start composing a Zen ceremony as this book renders but slight direction in that arena, so my sourcebook search continues. I gleefully did find, however, a book laden with writings and poetry that I am sure to include in ceremonies of a broad scope. This book is one of the finest collections of wedding functional prose I have seen available anywhere. This is followed by a sample script of various types of wedding ceremonies, and yes, there is even a sample Zen wedding ceremony that I am sure I will use some variation of, but the book DOES NOT explain the Zen culture. I guess that's why it shows up on a google search.
If you're planning a wedding, you're sure to find a reading here that fits perfectly with your ceremony. Even if you're not planning a wedding, you will enjoy reading this delightful book.

an excellent and varied collection, not Christian centric.......2003-02-04
This is the most useful book I found among many I looked at for writing our ceremony, which will incorporate buddhist and taoist ideas and language. The only readings collection I've found so far that goes beyond the Judeo-Christian/Western emphasis to incorporate Islamic, Buddhist writers and some poets beyond the usual suspects. The anthology features both long and short readings and sample ceremonies from a variety of traditions. I found it indispensible.
