Not that bad but no easy primer........2003-12-16

What I expected was a self-teaching guide that gradually exposes the user to statistical theory. What I got was the standard deviation formula on page 24 and it got deeper and deeper (these are very short pages with ample white space.) The writing isn't bad but the usage of Greek symbols is a bit overwhelming and unnecessary in this day in age. I thought the notations and formulas using popular spreadsheet programs helpful and would have like to seen more of it. After all business people rarely use binomial probability tables when you can get the answer in a spreadsheet table faster. I felt that this is not really a self-teaching guide for someone like myself, the last time I had any math was in high school algebra. Also, I could have used more work problems.

Overall not bad but not for the novice.

OK as far as it goes.......1999-05-28

The content of the book is fine. Koosis, the author, has a reasonable approach to teaching the innumerate some basic statistical skills. However, I'm none too thrilled by Wiley, the publishers, whose hyperbole fails significantly on two counts. Firstly,they say the book provides a chart that cross-references the content to a wide variety of statistics texts: wrong. It doesn't. This may have occurred in earlier editions, but it sure doesn't appear now. Given that this is what I was after, you can imagine my disappointment, living in Australia ( it being too much of an effort to seek a refund). Continuing on this theme of griping about the publishers, it should be noted that the companion volume by Mr Koosis, "Statistics", which I had ordered at the same time, looking for some complementary text, is almost identical to "Business Statistics" bar the content of some of the examples and one chapter (and a very short chapter it is too). So in my humble, Antipodean opinion, the publishers need to lift their game, and start practising a few quality principles, ideas about which they'll find in many of the books they publish. For another observable glitch by Wiley, see my comments about the book "Information Technology for Management" by E. Turban et al.

Offshore Investment Funds Finally Revealed.......2000-11-30

I have been trying to get a basic understanding of the offshore fund industry over the past two years. Other publications pale in comparison with this Bible. Its over 585 pages and if weight is any indication of valued content the Guide has hit the jack pot. Yes its well worth the price.

This is a valued reference is for anyone who has considered placing money in offshore investment funds. It includes explanations to what they are and where they located including information on over 7600 funds and the Top 350 Performing Funds with contact details - many with web sites - for all of them.

Milroy has taken this rather elusive topic, exposed it and put this critical information into the hands of every day people and for this I am very thankful.

Now it is not just the rich and powerful who have this information.

Beyond the hype of Will Rogers.......1997-10-21

I've read many books on Will Rogers-I find him fascinating on several levels. My initial interest was in his skill as a roper-I continue to be amazed at his talent in catches and especially trick roping. See his 1922 film "The Roping Fool" for an incredible display of his abilities. But Roger's role as a social commentator overshadowed his vaudeville career. Some have called him the first media pundit. This volume documents in great detail Rogers early years, and in a most satisfying way puts him in context. Letters, newspaper clippings, and other documents trace the experiences that led him into show business, and extensive footnotes lay out the social, economic and political world in which he lived. I can't wait for volume two!

good history.......2001-12-30

This book should be read by anyone living in the Pikes Peak region. It not only shows good history of the Broadmoor hotel, but it shows good history of the entire area (including the Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb and the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.)

A wonderful historical account.......1999-08-12

This is a very well written book providing a wonderful history of not only the Broadmoor Hotel but the land prior to the building of the hotel. It also incorporates a great deal of the history of the city of Colorado Springs. It pays tribute to Spencer and Julie Penrose who were responsible for building the hotel and other personalities involved in the area as well. There are many photographs which bring the history alive. Absolutely worth every penny.

Book Description

Home? Why must there be a place called Home? Why is there, somewhere in each human soul, a void that can be filled only by remembrance of that special place?

In Broadmoor, four aging brothers, seeking answers and guided by memory, take you with them on a journey back to their childhood, back to poverty and hard times, to betrayal and desertion, and to years of back-breaking labor and struggle to survive.

As you follow, you will meet a loving but imperfect family, faithful friends, a few men and women of great honor, and a mother whose character and strength and devotion surpasses all.

You will laugh and sometimes cry and, in the end, you will find, as the brothers did, that home is where memory begins and ends; the place where, when all is done, a heart can find sanctuary and certitude and safety and peace.

And you will find that, for these brothers, home is a place called Broadmoor.
