Excellent Source.......2006-08-27

I traveled to Mexico with Dr. Heusinkveld as a participant on one of her study abroad trips to the city where she wrote the book. I soon found out that not only is the book a must read for anyone interested in visiting or doing business in Mexico, but that the information that was published over 10 years ago is still very accurate in much of the country.

The book is a very easy read and not long at all. Its small size is very deceptive because the book is crammed with information that one should not go without.

Do not travel to Mexico without this book.

Most valuable next to Spanish-English dictionary.......2005-11-15

I love this book, as much for its conciseness and economy of words as well as all the sensitively considered advice and invaluable tips.
Though it is a deceptively thin book, it seems to touch on all areas of likely concern to one who visits or moves to Mexico. I wouldn't travel to Mexico without it, now.

Inside Mexico.......2004-01-15

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED--should be required reading for every American so they have a better understanding of our neighbors to the south. I bought this when I first met my wife who is from Mexico. I found it very enlightening and worth every cent. It's easy to read since it is not in-depth, however, it is still very enlightening. It talks about real Mexico and real Mexicans--not the life and culture that surrounds resorts. It may need to be updated (10 years old) cause the youth in Mexico are greatly influenced by media (TV, movies, etc) today just as American youth are--however, it still provides great insight of where Mexicans are coming from.

OK if you've never been to Mexico..........2003-05-20

...but if you know anything at all about the culture or have visited non-tourist spots you probably know a lot of this stuff already. I'm looking for something more in-depth, so I didn't find this book very helpful.

There'd be less misunderstanding if more of us read this gem.......2003-04-24

I've read and re-read this short book, and it has helped me tremendously to understand Mexico and Mexicans. Their culture is different enough from ours that our habits don't always work.For example, in the chapter on manners, the author points out that people often thank shop clerks when leaving a store. I tried this on a recent trip and discovered that it could lead to enjoyable short conversations.

Thanks to the ever-increasing real-time access that the public has to financial markets, it's now possible to play in the same league as the market makers who drive the daily price fluctuations of a stock. It's also possible--in fact it's certain--that you'll lose everything to these seasoned professionals unless you have some idea of what you're doing. Which is where David Nassar's How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading comes in.

Unlike most books of this genre, How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading really is a primer. Nassar, who runs his own trading firm, does not presume you have much knowledge about how markets work. Instead, the author provides an excellent overview of the dynamics that drive stock prices and the various kinds of electronic access, as well as the broad strategies employed by successful day traders. In addition to providing information about how to open an E-DAT account, Nassar stresses the importance of developing a focused trading strategy and recommends working with a simulator before risking your hard-earned cash.

Day trading is definitely not for everyone, and this book alone will not make you a successful day trader. But if you're the slightest bit interested, How to Get Started in Electronic Day Trading will satisfy your curiosity and may even help you launch a second career. --Harry C. Edwards

Get more practical.......2005-02-15

This book is good but outdated. In any event you cant expect to get the wholy grail of trading in one single book. You need to read and test and test again until you come up with a trading system that produces you consistent results.

Above all you need to focus on a set of stocks and sectors that you feel comfortable with. Personally I like momentum trading, because when you get to master a momentum trading strategy you are able to generate a good amount of cash in relatively short period of time every day.

The main thing with momentum trading is that youve got to learn how to identify and handle the best momentum opportunities. In other words be able to separate the good opportunities from the bad ones.

Some places on the web offer good information on the subject. One of them is Chathotstocks com

Just dont forget that a trader cant never stop learning. In trading it pays to know more than the crowd.

Read Chapter 5.......2003-03-06

Picked up this book at our local library. Was'nt expecting much, but then I flipped through to Chapter Five.

Chapter Five is worth the book price. In it you will learn how the market is moved, by watching the bid/ask prices and size.

I only trade futures, not stocks, but the information in chapter five confirmed the reality of trading in all markets. The strong money will win - every time - at will. You need to know what to look for and which side they are on.

Great Read!.......2002-03-04

I read both of Nassar's books and they are both excellent additions to anyone's library on trading. He is clear, direct, firm, and no nonsense. That is what I like about this author the most. He does no selling in the book and only offers information, page after page. I have read many books on trading and most authors have something to sell, Nassar's book makes you search for how to reach his firm,... I think he is world class in his approach and has integrity. His material is simple to understand and the ideas are easy to incorporate into trading yet rewarding. He makes it clear that trading success is about you, not a magic formula that so many portray is possible, which in fact is not. Read Nassar's books if you want it straight.

Read the title, and then review!.......2002-03-04

A lot of the reviews here are unecessarily harsh. The title of the book is "How to Get Started in..." It is not an end all be all of day trading books, but it is a highly informative book, and I believe it accomplishes what it sets out to do (get a novice's feet wet in day trading). I wouldn't start day trading with this book alone, but it is a good start.

Outdated and overpriced........2000-12-28

When it comes to money making e.fads (as daytrading is now seen) you need the absolute most accurate up-to-the-minute information available to succeed. This book is simply none of the above. Sorry.

If you really want to know how to get started (or if you even should) go to one of the daytrading .coms and read their FAQ. Their information will be the most up-to-daye around, and they might even offer advice that will help you get your finances in order before you start.

Christian Ethics.......2005-10-13

This wasn't what I was looking for -- not a book about business ethics, more a puff piece for fundamental christian beliefs. If you already believe it, you might like the book. I found it unsuitable for business.

Book Description

: A new international standard of national accounts is being implemented worldwide under the auspices of the United Nations. The New National Accounts is an authoritative introduction to this new system and provides a comprehensive explanation, with illustrative data, of the accounts and accounting concepts that all countries will use in the future.

The book assumes no previous knowledge of either economics or national accounting. Beginning with an overview of the entire structure of the new system of accounts, both for flow transactions and their derived balancing items and also for stocks of economic assets and liabilities, Dudley Jackson explains the system's main balancing item - gross value added - and its relation to gross domestic product, to final expenditures, to primary incomes and to transfer payments. The book concludes by explaining the accumulation accounts and the resulting 'wealth of the nation' as recorded in the new system's balance sheets.

The New National Accounts will be essential reading for both students and practitioners concerned with macroeconomics, economic policy, national accounting and comparative studies of the economic performance of advanced and developing countries.

The legendary jazz vocalist is given the treatment she deserves in this thoughtful collection of essays, interviews, reviews, and news articles. The artistry of "Lady Day" is noted by such writers as Leonard Feather, Nat Hentoff, Ralph J. Gleason, Whitney Balliett, and Elizabeth Hardwick. An interview with John Hammond, the legendary Columbia Records executive who discovered Billie Holiday (among other music greats) is particularly insightful. This book is a must for Billie Holiday fans and will also serve as an excellent introduction to her body of work.

Book Description

The ideal companion to shed light on Lady DayOne of the most troubling, and troubled, artists in the history of jazz, Billie Holiday remains an enigma despite numerous attempts to eulogize, analyze, and criticize her life and career. This fifth entry in the Schirmer Books Companion Series draws on 26 diverse writers, and on Holidays own interviews and recordings, to provide an objective assessment of Lady Days life, her talent, and of her place among the legends of jazz.

Customer Reviews:

A fine companion.......2002-12-30

I bought this book some time back and have dipped into it regularly for research purposes. A must for all Billie fans.

A challenging and intimate look at Lady Day's legacy.......2001-08-10

Whenever confronted with the eternal question of what my "desert island discs" would be, I always start the list with Columbia's set of Billie Holiday double LPs which came out in the 1960s... and invariably my questioners will comment on what a depressing choice that would be. I feel somewhat vindicated by this book's firm assertions that Holiday was not, in fact, a downcast performer. Like the other volumes in Schirmer Books' excellent "Companion" series, this anthology draws on a wide range of sources, including artist interviews and autobiographies, contemporary newspaper reviews and formal music criticism. This patchwork of Holiday's admirers and intimates creates a warm and frequently contradictory portrait of the world's greatest jazz vocalist. An extremely vulnerable yet extremely toughened, capable artist, Holiday's life is often seen through the filter of her tragic drug abuse, which led to her complete physical breakdown and death in 1959. This sordid reduction of Holiday's life has led many of her biographers to protectively soften or cover up aspects of her personality, which in turn has contributed to the confusion about her life. Editor Leslie Gourse skillfully weaves through these various accounts, offering illuminating commentary as to their relative strengths and blind spots. Included are entries by musicians such as Buck Clayton, producers John Hammond, Milt Gabler and Leonard Feather, and a host of journalists and biographers, including Gourse's own essay, "There Was No Middle Ground With Billie Holiday". An invaluable resource for anyone who wants to find out more about Lady Day, her influence on modern vocals, and her sad yet glorious life. Highly recommended.
