ASIN: 1883272254

Book Description

The land mark book on Equivolume Charting that described the methodology and its application for the first time-is available again. Presented in its original form, this is the classic that tied volume and price together, allowing investors to analyze not only the way in which a stock is moving, but the underlying pressures involved in that movement. And uniting volume and price into a single entry provides the investor with a unique view, unrealized in a traditional bar chart. This innovative technique was the outgrowth of Dick Arms' development of the widely known Arms Index, often referred to as the short term trading index(TRIN).. The Arms Index work led him to the realization of the importance of volume as an analysis tool. And this index is so important to investors that it is recapped daily in The Wall Street Journal, and weekly in Barrons's. It is also recalculated and displayed every minute on the CNBC ticker tape. Whether you're just learning about Equivolume Charting, hoping to get a more in depth look into Arm's famous technical tools, or searching for ways to profit from the driving forces of the market-Profits in Volume is a 'must have'book.

The Complete Guide To International Financial Reporting Standards Including IAS and Interpretation

Book Description

You can count on horse-crazy kids to be doing something horse-related, thinking about something horse-related, or planning something horse-related 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That's why Cindy A. Littlefield created the Kids' Book of Horse Games & Puzzles. If kids are going to spend their time horsing around, they might as well jump-start their creativity and boost their problem-solving skills at the same time.

The book is divided into five sections: Word Play, Picture Puzzles, Drawing, Fun and Games, and Brain Teasers. (All the answers are included.)

Take the "Horse and Pony Stall of Fame" challenge by matching up famous equines with their human or television character companions. Snuffle through the "Hungry as a Horse" quiz and see if you can find the names of 14 things horses like to eat hidden in a block of letters. Then break out your best drawing pencils and learn how to draw a horse's portrait in six easy steps.

Fun, horsey cartoons and illustrations adorn every page. And scattered throughout the book are horse riddles, bits of horse trivia, and quotes about horses.

Here, at last, is the perfect book for kids who love puzzles almost as much as they love horses.

Fantastic........2007-10-09

As everyone has said, this is a great reference, with details about each garment you can't dream of anywhere else. It has a great variety in here as well. The drawings are beautiful, the patterns are easy to draft and as far as the one's I've made, go together beautifully (it helps that the one's I've made so far are my size though!) It really is full of great information and beautiful, inspiring dresses and gowns. The two from the hoop era are just stunning, as are the regency and French Revolution era gowns.

Quintessential Work of Fashion History.......2007-06-29

Although Janet Arnold is best known as a costumer, she is also a laudable historian and scholar. This book, and its companion volumes, are chock full of primary source information on historic garments and their construction.

The primary feature of Ms. Arnold's books are of course the scaled patterns. By scrupulously copying actual period garments, she has created a faultless roadmap for anyone who wishes to reproduce historic garments and be assured of their authenticity (at least when it comes to the pattern shape). In addition, her notes on the original construction and provenance of the dresses, though sometimes frustratingly brief, offer important insight into the garments.

While most buy Ms. Arnold's book for the patterns, costume historians especially will be interested in the introductory chapters. Here they will find excerpts reproduced from a wide variety of extremely rare period books and manuals of dressmaking. Many of these sources are virtually unavailable elsewhere. Illustrations and pattern samples (not graded) are also reproduced from the same period sources.

The patterns are arranged chronologically, offering one dress every decade or so, depending upon the speed at which fashion was changing during a particular period. The only drawback to this work is that Ms. Arnold, for obvious practical reasons, includes only a single style to represent each time. Therefore, while this is certainly an invaluable work, it should be a jumping off point for further research into the range of styles and decoration that were available during whatever time you are recreating.

To Ms. Arnold's credit, she refrains from editorializing or generalizing historic styles, etc. etc. Instead, her work attains the highest level of scholarship by impartially presenting primary source material in a variety of forms and allowing the reader to set the level of authenticity. Whether you are a hobbyist recreator, a professional costumer, or an academic, this book is a wonderful resource and will surely be treasured for generations to come.

Patterns of Fashion:1660-1860.......2006-04-19

This book should be on the bookshelves of everybody who is interested in the history an construction of costumes - there are no books like Janet Arnold's Patterns of Fashion.

Patterns of old.......2006-03-24

Great Resource only better is "Queen Elizabeths Wardrobe"
for hundreds of dollars

Fabulous Resource for Construction & Inspiration.......2005-08-09

At 1 square to the inch, these grid patterns make up to size almost efforlessly. I would do patterns for 30 minute intervals and would have completed a whole dress pattern within three days, including seam allowance. It is important to add up to 1" seam allowances, and cut out a muslin to fit before attempting it in the fashion fabric. This book is absolutely priceless, and for the amount of gorgeous patterns you recieve, is worth every pretty penny. I reccomend at least an intermediate sewer and a knowledge of pattern construction and patternmaking if attempting these patterns since the directions are a bit hazy and you have to do some creative problem solving to get the patterns to go together the way illustrated. I wish she had published more!

VERY HELPFUL book!.......2005-03-10

I read this book more than 15 years ago and I still use the strategies today. In fact, now that my own teen is dealing with depression issues, I've taught him to use the strategies as well. I read the book after about 2 years of psychotherapy. While the therapy was VERY helpful, this book gave me very concrete skills and within a month, I no longer felt the need to continue therapy. If you faithfully complete the exercises, you can learn great techniques that make a difference.

at least a few good points, too much to evaluate easily.......2001-11-08

Here's what I like:
pages 20-21 list of factors in dealing with
feelings
pages 25-26 list of mental blockage indicators
pages 30-31 kinds of resistance to change
pages 40-48 emotional strategies ==> how
to improve emotional intelligence!!!
pages 136-138 list of inappropriate communication
techniques.
The general strategies developed in pages 1-96 are
applied later to anxiety, anger, loneliness, depression.
An appendix expands this list to confusion, disappointment,
envy, facial tics, frustration, guilt, and helplessness.

most helpful book i ever read..........2000-03-19

i have a copy of this book i have referred to many times since the 80's. i do not know the authors, nor do i have any vested interest in a submitting a complimentary review. i have never submitted such a review before. i attest that this book is the single most helpful self-help book that i have ever had the good fortune to read. in one's darkest hour, it can help you INSTANTLY...i am happy it is still available, and i am buying a copy for a friend in need (not wanting to part with my own!)

Excellent source of coping stratgies.......1998-03-06

Among the hundreds of serious and not-so pop psych books I've read, "Rapid Relief" actually works. Particularly useful is the "emotional scale" which can help you understand what you or others are going through as you go through your ups and downs.

However "Rapid" is NOT a substitute for deep work with an qualified, experienced and insightful therapist. Instead it's an execellent source of day to day coping stratgies. For eight bucks, that's quite a deal.
