        Book Description

        "Ball succinctly and effectively chronicles Churchill's life. The book is lavishly produced, with superb photographs (some in color), paintings, cartoons, and examples of Churchill's writing. The author has done a remarkable job of condensing Chruchill's spectatcular life into a well-written, concise portrait of one of history's remarkable men."—Military History

        Winston Churchill's key role in the outcome of the Second World War brought him international renown and arguably made him the most important figure in twentieth-century British politics. Born into an aristocratic family in 1875, his life spanned two centuries and nine decades of personal, social and political change, and it is against this background that Stuart Ball, a leading historian of modern British politics, discusses the remarkable ups and downs of Churchill's career.

        After election to Parliament in 1900, Churchill rose quickly to high military and political office. But he changed parties twice, bringing his character and judgment into question, and during the 1930s he became politically isolated. His warnings of the need to deter Hitler were largely ignored and it was only after the failure of appeasement in 1939 that his reputation rose again. As a much-admired war-time prime minister and subsequently, during the Cold War, he traveled the globe tirelessly in pursuit of alliances and détente between America and Russia.

        This concise biography is extensively illustrated with photographs, cartoons and documents, including personal correspondence, reflecting Churchill's dedication to literature, art and family alongside his tremendous public achievements.

              Product Description

              This up-to-date and comprehensive electronic book on CD-ROM presents an enormous library of federal government documents and publications covering all aspects of the Federal Accounting Standards Advisory Board (FASAB). The mission of the FASAB is to promulgate federal accounting standards after considering the financial and budgetary information needs of citizens, congressional oversight groups, executive agencies, and the needs of other users of federal financial information. Accounting and financial reporting standards are essential for public accountability and for an efficient and effective functioning of our democratic system of government. Thus, federal accounting standards and financial reporting play a major role in fulfilling the government's duty to be publicly accountable and can be used to assess (1) the government's accountability and its efficiency and effectiveness, and (2) the economic, political, and social consequences of the allocation and various uses of federal resources. Publications issued by FASAB include: · Exposure drafts · Volumes presenting original pronouncements and current text · Newsletters · Minutes · Meeting agendas · Original pronouncements · Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and Concepts · Accounting and Auditing Policy Committee · Fiduciary Activities · Inter-entity Costs · Social Insurance · Heritage Assets, Stewardship Land This incredible CD-ROM is packed with over 8,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems. The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. Our news and educational CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched by finding specific words, or printed without untold hours of tedious research and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. This book-on-a-disc format makes a great reference work and educational tool. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, thoroughly researched, and portable - everything you need to know, from the federal sources you trust.

The plan still needs a public hearing and approval by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee and Financial Accounting Standards Board before it can become operative.

                            From the supplier: Insurance agents have reacted adversely to an American Institute for Certified Public Accountants draft of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for insurance agents. The provision requiring insurance agents to realize income for accounting purposes at the beginning of an insurance policy rather than as the premium payments are made is the most controversial. This assumes that agents have no obligations to service the policies they sell, according to Russell Burnett, chief financial officer for the Independent Insurance Agents of America. He contends service is a legal obligation.

                              4 out of 5 stars Great Gift Book - Very well received.......2007-01-22

                              Book was a big hit with a growing collector - some shaker's categories could be expanded upon with more detail and photos - but overall a success...

                              1 out of 5 stars Not pleased.......2005-04-09

                              This was the first book I bought on Salt and Pepper Shakers. I didn't find it helpful at all. Unless you just want a collection of S&P books, don't waste your money.

                              4 out of 5 stars Nice Starter Book.......2004-09-16

                              The book has tons of pictures. Some of the sets shown are not "true" sets. It is a great book to get a general idea of all the many themes of salt and pepper collecting. High end and low end are all well represented. It was fun to see sets I never knew existed that I would like to have. It gave me more stuff to look for in auctions. It's always fun to add to collections!

                              2 out of 5 stars Erroneous Valuations........2004-05-14

                              The monetary valuations of Salt & Pepper Shakers in this book are virtually useless to either a collector or seller. I have never seen a book so totally unresearched on both pricing and product description. The majority of the photos of the S&P's do not describe the material utilized in their construction, so one is left wondering if they are looking at plastic, metal or other material.
                              No person interested in Salt & Pepper collecting should buy this as their first book. If you do, you'll be in for a big surprise when you try to buy an S&P that has been valued in this book for $12, but is belling for $48.
                              For the more seasoned collector, it does have some decent pictures, but is more or less a rehash of better produced S&P Collecting books.
                              If you've been collecting S&P's for over 6 months, you'll realize that this is a piece of utter tripe; execpt for the photos of the S&P's.

                              4 out of 5 stars Doesn't look "homemade".......2007-09-27

                              Ilove finding books with patterns that don't scream "homemade" that make people ask if you would like to sell it. This book contains patterns that are just like that. I wish that they had instructions for larger size in a couple of them. I can figure that out on my own. I also would suggest that yardages for yarn would be listed, it makes it easier to subsitute, esp when the yarn is not available in the states. Also you have to remember that a double crochet is a single in the states. Check the beginning instructions if you are not sure what patterns mean.
                              I recommend this book

                              4 out of 5 stars Good book but it had me a bit lost.......2007-07-22

                              I would not consider myself a beginner, but this book had me so lost aht I felt like one. I was thrilled to get down to work while waiting for my next arrival. BUT, the stitches are not what i was taught. They called single stich, double and double treble, and so on. I have tried two of the projects from this book and both I have had to frog and start over a number of times. I have since put the book back onto the bookshelf and will look at it in a few more months.

                              The book really does have some very cute patterns. But becasue I know the American way of crochet it has me a little bit lost. This would be great for someone who is just learning as they do explain in the first few pages the basics of crochet and if you learn their way it will be easier for you to follow the patterns. I think my main problem is that it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks (not the the way they do it is new but they call diffrent stitiches diffrent names than what I learned).


                              Overall this is a great book. I am just hardheaded and really set in my ways.

                              3 out of 5 stars A bit of a disappointment.......2007-06-05

                              The edition of this book I have seen is from 2002, published in North America, and uses American terms. The photos are indeed adorable. the colors used are not the typical pastels and the designs are clean and modern. the color combinations are inspiring. I feel the smock pictured on the Amazon page (on the cover of the softback book) is the best design in the book. However, it is made in Patons Baby pure Wool 3-ply, which is apparently not available in the US. Finding a substitute for this yarn has proved quite difficult for me. The directions call for a 2mm (steel size 4) hook, which is quite small; I mention that because some crocheters do not like to use such small sizes. The garment size ranges are quite limited; the smock is in sizes 0-5 months and 5-10 months. Another nice design is the Icelandic cardigan (in reality a fairly simple variation on a round-yoke design)--this is for size 6 months only.

                              5 out of 5 stars Adorable Crochet for babies and toddlers.......2007-05-18

                              What I love most about this book is the contemporary styles so beautifully photographed, I have searched on line for a long time and all I could find were the "granny" style projects that young mothers would consider tacky. These projects are practical and trendy and inspire me to do do them. The book has a glossary that defines the terms that I didn't understand since the terminology is a bit different. Beautiful book!

                              5 out of 5 stars A great find.......2007-05-11

                              I absolutely LOVE this boook. I'm relatively new to crochet, and would consider myself an advanced beginner. That said, this book is definately NOT beyond the grasp of someone who is new to crochet. She does use british crochet terms, but they're all explained in detail (including pictures of how to do each and what they look like) in the first pages of the book. I've never made anything besides baby afghans and booties, and so I tried the smocked dress that's on the front cover of the book. It came out great - I had NO problems with the pattern. I would recommend this book to anyone, whether you're a beginner or you've been crocheting for a long time. There are a lot of great, unique, and absolutley adorable patterns in this book that you won't find anywhere else. Just be sure you read through the beginning so that the british terms don't confuse you. Have fun!!

                                I always pick the wrong guys.
                                Should I move in with him?
                                I can't stand my boss.
                                Should I leave my marriage?
                                How can I recover from his affair?
                                Is my fantasy abnormal?
                                Is my therapy working?
                                I miss my mother.
                                I can't believe I was fired.

                                4 out of 5 stars Life Preservers: Good Advice When you Need it Most.......2007-08-23

                                I liked the book. It didn't always apply to me, but good to read anyway.

                                4 out of 5 stars Dear Abby with credentials.......2002-11-07

                                I found this book to be quite powerful in a very subtle way. Having grown up reading Dear Abby and Ann Landers as my main source of adult advice, I was quite pleased with the Advice Column Format. Actually, this book is a compilation of published and unpublished letters written to Dr. Lerner for the advice column she writes for New Woman magazine. I was impressed with the range of topics and problems that were addressed in this book. Harriet Lerner's advice is open minded yet firm; additionally she is not averse to sharing her own experiences. Since I tend to be so limited in time, I found this book to be a great "meal companion". While spooning down some cereal or grabbing a quick sandwich, this book provided the ideal "dessert". This is the first book I have read by Harriet Lerner and I am now anxious to start the Dance books.

                                4 out of 5 stars Very helpful.......2002-08-08

                                This is a well-written book with terrific advice. Although I believe no one can solve serious issues by reading a book alone, this is a good start to understanding problems many people encounter.
                                Not a replacing for therapy, but a good guide for many.

                                5 out of 5 stars Therapist on call.......2001-12-18

                                I became a big fan of Dr. Lerner after reading the The Dance of Anger. This book is different from her other books because it's in a question and answer format. I thought I wouldn't like this format, but I was wrong. Her advice is so amazingly strong and helpful. She answers so many questions and problems that I've talked about with my therapist, or that I haven't had the nerve to share with friends. I loved the section "Women at Work," because work has been a painful place for me, and I can't think of another book that offers so much help about dealing with an impossible boss or gossipy co-worker. You can't get better advice than this and it's a fun read.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great Advice.......2001-12-18

                                I keep this book in my bathroom and that's a high compliment. I never have time to sit down and finish a whole book, but this one is a feast of great advice that you can read every time you have a few minutes in between whatever else you're doing. There is so much wisdom packed in this book, and the way it's organized makes it very user-friendly. Having this book around is sort of like having a best friend or therapist on call. Some of the questions you've heard before "Should I stay or leave?" "Is my husband having an affair" "My friend is dating a jerk" "Is my fantasy normal?" "I can't stand my supervisor." But Lerners answers are unique and she's great at being serious and funny at the same time. Best of all, she tells you specifically what to do when you're hurting or in pain or don't know how to solve a problem. This book is such a gem although I wouldn't recommend it for men, just cause it's geered 100% to women.
