essential.......2001-09-22

Next to the "Vault Guide to the Top 100 Law Firms", this directory is the most essential guide for a legal job search.

Very necessary.......1999-07-27

the National Directory of Legal Employers is definitely a necessity for anyone thinking of goig into the legal business. it's widely recognized in the profession as the authoritative resource. i'd only say that because it's so comprehensive, it sometimes doesn't quite get into the details enough. I'd recommend something like the Vault Reports Top 50 Law Firms, which gives a great idea of what it's like to go work for a law firm, whether out of college or as a lateral hire. It's less comprehensive, but much more detailed and a fun read.

Put this in your own library.......2007-04-04

I have had this book in my library since
it came out. Mike and Jason put together a
absolutely great book. It's a very easy read
because it's conversational. You fell like
you are sitting in the interviews.

A Very Good Read.......2006-12-26

Mike Litman and Jason Oman have created a masterpiece in this book...Mike Stokes

A Must Have for your Success Library.......2006-08-05

Filled with insights and philosophies of the accomplished interviewees that are inspiring and educational. The questions asked by the author is also very well directed to draw out the clues and wisdom we can all learn from. Everytime I read the book at differnt stages of my life, I pick up yet another idea/insight that I didn't realize before... probably because I personally am continuing to develop. As they say, at every life stage, income level, etc., you have to be a different person. It's a "must have" for your success library!

Not worth the money.......2006-06-07

First time I write a review, but I thought I would take the bother. I did not like this book. Although the title is accurate, it is about conversations with millionares, the conversations are not very enriching. I would have prefered to have spent my money on something else.

BE WARNED!!! In the book there is a web page address were two free gift are promised, this is not true a you are requested to sign up with your e-mail, only to be bombarded with SPAM, and end up with no gift.

great insights for the would be entrepreneur.......2005-11-09

Oddly enough I bought this book after a "spam" e-mail made its way into my inbox. It is a thoroughly insightful and enjoyable read and is one of the "Top Ten" books to have in your wealth building library. This book is filled with real world examples of people who had the courage and conviction to follow through on their ideas and get up again if they fell. No get rich without working ideas here, just real people with valuable products and services that stayed with their ideas when ordinary people might have given up. Inspiring and thought provoking- don't miss it.

Not for advanced cake decorators.......2005-07-06

Having never heard of the author, I took the risk of ordering this book with the hope of getting some new and clever ideas. Unfortunately, the book is filled with ideas and techniques I have seen in existing books. However, this book is perfect for new cake decorators.

Times changes.......2004-03-08

After seeing the bipolar reviews on this book, I decided to take a middle-of-the-road viewpoint. There are some reviewers who love the book, and others who simply hate the book. There is no need to bash the book...simply because it tells you things you already know. Do you think algebra books are useless because they tell you something you already know?

I think that this book is best for people who has ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE (i.e., non-investors) what they are doing. Then you're getting somewhere. If I put myself in these shoes, I see that this book gives you the motivation, reasons and means to start investing. A lot of times people don't know "how to" and "why" they should invest in the first place, and this book will help them. My favorite part of this book is the "common pitfalls" of a first-time investor. This book (which is really cheap if bought used) is worth reading just for that section.

On the bottom side, I agree with the nay-reviewers who see the book as outdated information. I am reviewing a book today in 2004, but it was printed in 2000. A lot of the "top choices" that was picked don't really work today (considering the bear market from 2001-2002). Some specific suggestions are outdated, but I still think that the overall theme still holds today. However, an intelligent investor will know that regular research and review of a their portfolio is essential to their financial health. Investment is an endeavor that involves a bit of risk. A first-time investor is wise to get adequate information before starting. In that case, this book is adequate as long as you follow the general guidelines.

What a terrific book.......2000-12-16

No mutual fund book is going to be a page turner, but this one really keeps things interesting and simple. It covers the basics, as promised, in the first 100 pages. Even people who know nothing about investing can learn what they need to know here. I was more interested in the advanced investing chapters, and the book excelled here, too. Little did I know that I owned several funds with the same investment style, and that's why I had done so poorly. This book helped me make a lot more money.

What a great book, and how quick and easy to read.......2000-12-15

If you're like me and don't understand a lot about mutual funds, I can't think of a better book. The chapter on index funds was very well done. In fact, I have decided to use index funds for most of my investing. The recommendations of other funds were also very helpful. Not everyone wants to spend his or her life learning about mutual funds. This book makes it possible to be a good investor without devoting your life to the task.

It's Not Brain Surgery.......2000-07-15

You do need to do some research before you buy mutual funds but you don't need an overly long, extremely boring book to do it. You can quickly and easily narrow your choices by going to personal finance magazine web sites and the sites run by large mutual fund companies.

Buy an Index Fund and Skip This Book.......2000-07-14

This book is not needed. Use the money to buy shares in a well-managed index fund instead. If you still need advice, buy Peter Lynch's "One Up On Wall Street." Mr. Lynch's book has stood the test of time.

Book Description

Fishman, Pederson, Rozell, and their contributors examine the legacy of Washingtons presidency. Leading political scientists and historians describe and evaluate the impact of Washington's leadership on the institution of the presidency and on those who have since occupied the Oval Office. In the contemporary era of almost endless speculation about the role of character in presidential leadership, an analysis of Washington's character and the model he established is especially germane. The chapters provide diverse interpretations of the value of understanding Washington's leadership and the character of the modern presidency. Some of the scholars conclude that Washington indeed laid the foundation for good character and strong leadership in the presidency. Others take a more critical approach and see Washington, like many of his successors, as a fallible human being who possessed both character strengths and weaknesses. The lasting value of this analysis for political scientists, historians, and other students of the American presidency is that it demonstrates the continued vibrant debate over Washington's authentic legacy to the office.
