NOT a picture book.......2006-04-22

I was very disappointed with the pictures in this book. They are not good clear pictures. The description information was helpful but wish I had seen this book in person before I purchased it.

Wildflowers of Alabma and Adjoining Sates.......2000-05-03

This book covers a number of wildflowers throughout Alabama. The book is filled with wonderful color pictures which aid in identification of species in this area. The descriptions are also very informative! It helped me alot on a collection I was putting together for a Botany class. I loved it so much I had to buy a copy for myself!

Excellent Guide!.......2007-09-28

We just returned from a lovely road trip to the Rocky Mountain National Park, using this book as our guide. It was extremely helpful, loaded with information, easy to use and well written. We give it our highest recommendations.

Book Description

John J. Murphy has now updated his landmark bestseller Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets, to include all of the financial markets.

"If one could read only one book on technical analysis, this should be the one." --Knight-Ridder Financial Products and News (on the first edition, Technical Analysis of the Futures Markets, 0-13-898008-X)

This outstanding reference has already taught thousands of traders the concepts of technical analysis and their application in the futures and stock markets. Covering the latest developments in computer technology, technical tools, and indicators, the second edition features new material on candlestick charting, intermarket relationships, stocks and stock rotation, plus state-of-the-art examples and figures. From how to read charts to understanding indicators and the crucial role technical analysis plays in investing, readers gain a thorough and accessible overview of the field of technical analysis, with a special emphasis on futures markets. Revised and expanded for the demands of today's financial world, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in tracking and analyzing market behavior.

"One way to get started in technical analysis is to read a good book on the subject. One of my favorites is Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets: A Comprehensive Guide to Trading Methods and Applications by John J. Murphy. It's an easy read." Ralph J. Acampora, CMT, Managing Director, Prudential Securities Inc.

Reference.......2007-08-13

If you use the charts to look for trades, you have to buy this book. It's an awesome reference for charting.

Good Even for a Random Walker.......2007-07-22

This book is a very well written introduction to the Technical Analysis of the financial markets. It covers a lot of ground and for a text book style layout, it is surprisingly easy to read. Murphy starts with a solid introduction including the philosophy of technical analysis and a defense against the criticisms from academics and followers of the Random Walk Theory. The meat of the book is a comprehensive treatment of the core components of technical analysis including Trendlines, Reversal and Continuation Patterns, Moving Averages, and Oscillators. The author continues to dig deeper with Point & Figure Charts, Japanese Candlesticks, and Eliott Wave Theory.

As a big fan of Malkiel's "Random Walk Down Wall Street," I started reading this book with some healthy skepticism. While I was not converted to the chartist's philosophy, I felt like I did pick up some tools that could still be useful in a buy-and-hold strategy.

Everything a beginner needs to know.......2007-07-07

John Murphy's book explains nearly everything anyone who is looking to understand the technical side of the market could ask for.

PROS: Easy to follow. Starts from the ground up into the complicated stuff. Feels like a year's worth of college courses finished in a few weeks time. This is far and away the best overall stock book I've read to date. I'm making money now!

CONS: Spends a bit too much time on futures trading (for which the book was originally written) Doesn't get far enough into how much time should lapse as a pattern unfolds. Doesn't get much into the psychology of the trader's mind. Somewhat outdated on computer advances (not a big deal)

Classic Technical Analysis Book.......2007-06-28

I received 4 copies of this book during my course work at the NYIF, its an excellent referance manual for anyone applying Technical Analysis to the financial markets.

Excellent introduction to TA - an easy read.......2007-06-27

This is the first book I bought on TA and, honestly, it looked intimidating. It's not. Open it up and it reads cover to cover very quickly. Not too technical - not too basic. Just right. This is an excellent introduction to technical analysis: easy to read language, large print, nice heavy bright white pages. Oh, and the content is excellent as well: worded well, good organization, understandable examples and illustrations.

Get the book but not the study guide........2006-06-26

Let me just start by saying that the book Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets by John Murphy is an excellent book; truely a classic which I highly reccomend. However, I found the study guide to be a waste of my time. It is filled with a bunch of quizes which are vaguely worded and won't do you much if any good. I guess they can help you to see how well you comprehended the chapters, but it has no supplemental information or sumaries on important material. It's just a bunch of multiple choice and matching. There was no further understanding of the material in my experience. Save your money, just buy the textbook, not the studyguide.

This is a stupid book about a non-sense theory.......2004-07-17

This is a stupid and non-critical book about a non-sense theory. Since the theory is able to predict everything it is completely meaningless!

For example: When the price approaches a support- or resistance- line, it will either bounce back, or, -believe it or not- break through the line. The theory does not even tell which event is most likely!

The java-scripts on my web page
( www.ragnarius.com/en/hokus/index.shtml ) demonstrates that everything the book says about the stock market also applies to random-walks.

Waste of time.......2003-11-22

John Murphy is a market technician with well deserved notoriety. The textbook, Technical Analysis of Financial Markets is excellent, the workbook is garbage. Poor questions, unclear statements and vaguely annotated charts muddle the text. The textbook covers 19 plus chapters, the workbook only goes to chapter 12. Disappointing.

Helpful but the questions may be too simple.......2001-07-23

This book is helpful for the readers who read John Murphy's classic. But I feel the questions may be too simple. If you read the text then you can answer most of them. They are not very challanging.

An invaluable self-study manual in Technical Analysis.......2000-08-12

This self-study manual with "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" is the best way to starting studying the technical analysis. This is, without doubt, the Bible!

It's easy-to-follow, step-by-step method leads you through each of the book's chapters and provides objectives that give your reading focus.

Wonderful.......2005-10-28

I am in love with this book! It is clear, concise, well-written, and has wonderful graphics. I am a landscape architecture student at UCD and this book has taught me more than any of my teachers combined! Highly recommend.

Residential Landscape Architecture: Design Process for the Private Landscape (4th Ed).......2005-10-12

I am a student at Kansas State University in Landscape Design, and this book is wonderful for getting ideas, symbols, and disign techniques. My professors own this book, and constantly approve and recommend this book for sudents. Although it is titled for a private resident, professional landscapers use this book also. This is one book you should add to your library.

Later Edition Available.......2005-05-19

This book is great, but you might like to know that a 4th addition of this book is now available. Type in - "Residential Landscape Architecture: Design Process for the Private Residence (4th Edition)" and check it out.

Great Resource for Landscape Architects.......2002-11-19

Booth and Hiss describe in much detail the design process for residential landscapes. They strike a proper balance between basic design concepts and essential business knowledge. Landscape design students would do well to internalize the process described here, since the book's practical focus is unlikely to be duplicated in their Landscape Architecture curriculum.

Excellent.......2002-05-18

This book is truly a gem -- it clearly and concisely explains every imaginable aspect of residential landscape design using very straigtforward and easy to understand text and diagrams.

Ignore the fact that this seems to have been written as some sort of textbook for a beginer's course for professional landscape architects. I am an ordinary homeowner and I found the book to be easy and enjoyable to read, and quite educational. I now feel like I understand enough to design a professional quality landscape for my own home.

In case it matters, I own the second edition (Amazon is now selling the third edition). I can only assume that this latest edition is even better than the edition I have.

Book Description

Every major event in Elvis' amazing life is highlighted in this remarkable book: his music breakthrough in 1955 (with "Mystery Train"); his first number 1 hit ("Heartbreak Hotel") and first movie ("Love Me Tender") in 1956; his Army service (1958-60); his marriage (1965) and divorce (1973) to Priscilla; the birth of their daughter, Lisa Marie, in 1968; his Graceland Mansion; his many famous concerts, television appearances and feature films; his death in 1977; and his enormous posthumous influence 25 years after his death. All of these milestones are richly detailed from the files of the Associated Press. The hour-long companion audio CD contains clips of interviews with Elvis, as well as the memories of other entertainers, news-makers, fans, and family. This unique book and audio CD package is a priceless addition to any collection.

A "must" for the legions of Elvis fans everywhere.......2002-09-07

Elvis: The King Remembered by Susan Moyer is the rags-to-riches story of one of America's most influential and beloved figures of American music and popular culture. It is now 25 years since the death of Elvis Presley on August 16, 1977, and yet his legend continues to grow and attract new generations to his music, his performance stylings, and his mercurial life story. A "must" for the legions of Elvis fans everywhere, Elvis: The King Remembered is enhanced with an accompanying CD developed by Elvis Presley authority Jerry Osborne comprising Elvis interviews and reactions.

Book Description

Charles Hart (1824-1898) was a Dublin solicitor’s son who played a minor part in the Confederate movement in 1848. Influenced by his brother-in-law, John Blake Dillon, he spent the revolutionary months in the United States as a Confederate agent, propagating the Irish cause and meeting American politicians, Irish-Americans and the new crop of ‘exiles’. His hitherto unpublished diary gives an intimate picture of the Young Irelanders, news of their failed revolution, and a vivid account of American politics and social mores, and landscape. A highlight was his meeting with Wolfe Tone’s widow, Matilda, who reminisced about the beauty of Lucien Bonaparte, asked after "poor old Dublin" and urged Hart not to "expatriate" himself’. Hart followed her advice, returning to Dublin after a year in America to embark on half a century’s inconspicuous work as a solicitor. Hart’s diary set in context by the editor’s wide-ranging introduction, gives a fresh and exhilarating perspective on Young Ireland and mid-century America.
