Customer Reviews:
Economist.......2001-10-05
I disagree with the reviewer. I think it is a good quick reference for simplie and complicated economics terms as well as well-known economists and the theories they are known for. I have an economics degree and find this useful to help trigger my memory about my economic studies.
The guide is missing some US economic terms, but it is still a useful guide for the price.
horrible.......2001-09-08
Please, for the love of god, don't buy this...! Many terms and concepts key to field are simply absent, and the entries, when present, are so curt as to be practically useless. One could expect as much simply looking up the terms in a standard Webster's Dictionary.
Trust me, spend the extra bucks and buy one of the alternatives. I'm looking into the MIT Press version myself . . . .
Book Description
Clearly written, with up-to-the-minute information and packed with practical and relevant examples, The New Penguin Dictionary of Business is the perfect book for anyone-whether student or working professional-who needs to know the latest jargon in the field.

Customer Reviews:
Creative cupcake ideas.......2007-09-16
I, like many others, am also an avid baker and love to impress people with my skills. Who doesn't like to hear that their treats have made someone's day? I think this cookbook is good addition for anyone who is looking to take their cupcakes, and especially the flavors, to a different level. I have tried only a few of the recipes in this book, and to be honest, have not had the best of luck with every recipe. I found the opposite of another reviewer and find them to be a bit greasy. I feel, with a bit of tinkering, the recipes will be great. The recipe instructions are very straight-forward, photographs are beautiful and inspiring, and the flavors of the recipes are definitely more 'mature'. I think this cookbook is worth checking out if you want to jazz up your cupcake repetoire or are looking for some great design ideas, but maybe isn't so great for the beginning baker.
Very disappointing.......2007-06-29
Being an avid baker, I was given this cookbook as a gift from a coworker, and I couldn't be more disappointed in the actual taste of these recipes. I've now tried four or five of them, and each batch has been inedible. I think I have LITERALLY thrown away every single batch (which is probably the only reason I am even writing this review). The first ones I tried, just a vanilla cupcake, I thought I had maybe done something wrong, so I made them AGAIN and the results were just as unfavorable. The cupcakes are dry and flavorless. Even though a lot of the recipes look really good, I'm afraid to waste any more of my time and money trying out recipes that I could end up tossing in the garbage.
Cupcakes Yum!!!!.......2007-01-01
I bought this book because I am into this "cupcakes" phase...hehe, Gail Wagman shows you can decorate cupcakes in a unique way, hey the sky's the limit!!! Buy this book, folks!!!
Pretty pictures... but it ends there.......2006-12-21
The book includes many beautiful pictures, but the cupcakes are pretty much meant for their looks. If you are looking for an exellent cupcake book, go out and get the cake doctor book. It has excellent ideas. All of the cupcakes are creative and interesting, but nothing i would go out and immediately make.
Looks nice, but taste leaves a lot to be desired.......2006-11-20
The cupcakes in this book seem to be geared for presentation, but they don't taste good. I would look at this book if you need ideas on decorating cupcakes, but would get the actual recipes elsewhere.

Book Description
Nearly five years ago, pastor and Christian apologist Rubel Shelly began composing a weekly, one-page, inspirational message, distributed by fax to a few dozen friends and colleagues. Today, this morning wake-up call, still known as The Fax of Life, goes to a mailing list of 8,000 e-mail boxes. And now, pulled from the very best of these Paul Harvey-esque quick-reads, this newest addition to the One Minute Bible series offers 90 devotions for the business professional, the student, and the serious, real-world Christian. Sidebars alongside each devotion add a related Scripture passage—taken from the Holman Christian Standard Bible—as well as a brief application and journaling opportunity.

Read, Learn and Grow Your Business.......2001-01-06
If you're afraid of the truth, do not read this book.
If you run a company and would like to make it better, go ahead and buy it because it's honest, it's on target and it will help you grow your business.
I've read over 25 best-selling business books and Steve Bryant has hit a home run with this one.
A "Common Sense" Guide!.......2000-12-19
Common sense today is sometimes pushed to the side as Business Managers, Executives and Entrepeneurs search for the latest business fads to make them and their companies succesfull. The author of "It's Mom and Pop" gets to the real bottom line through common sense, practical processes and experience. It will rival all the reccomended reading for new business managers as well as seasoned professionals and lead them back to the basics of business management.

Practical Wisdom..........2000-12-07
Practical wisdom with each point, wrapped in the real stories of a seasoned veteran. It's like having a proven consultant on retainer. This book should become every managers operational bible. Read it, apply it...then EXPECT TO WIN!

Book Description
The preparation of tax records is the most important paperwork duty of occupationally active citizens and residents; this book offers guidance on what to keep and what to throw away so that the right information and necessary proof is readily available if needed. As the IRS increasingly encourages e-filing of tax returns, taxpayers become lazier regarding hard-copy records. Detailed are which records need to be kept for more than 15 years, which need to be kept for five to 15 years, and which need to be kept for five years or less. Tips are given on how to select and organize records properly.
Book Description
In the fall of 1798, when this volume opens, Washington was immersed in the business of creating a military force to deal with the threat of an all-out war with France. A clash over Alexander Hamilton's rank in the army led Washington to contemplate resignation of his own post as commander in chief of the army, and the resolution of this affair brought no opportunity for rest as Washington engaged in the tedious task of finding officers for the new military formations. Despite all of this he still found time in the months that followed to build houses on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., seek the funds to put his financial affairs in order, oversee the marriage of Nelly Custis to Lawrence Lewis, and lament the divided state of American politics.

Michael Lee is an excellent author.......2004-02-25
This book really helped me through a tough time in my life.I had just broken up with a long term boyfriend, had to choose a college, trying to maintain an above 4.0 GPA, and had to get a super good score on my SAT. Just when I was going to just give up on things, I started reading this book. It was very insightful because it describes the feelings that ever person gets and how to deal with them. This book describes the problems that most teenagers deal with, like: the feelings of wanting to kill your parents, love and lost love, sex, losing friends, and starting over. By reading this book I realized that you have to take life in strides and keep yourself happy, even if it pisses off a lot of other people. Also I learned that you have to remain at a certain level of happiness all of the time to keep yourself sane. I would reccommend this book to any teenager who is looking for answers to lifes most common problems that are not easily solved. Loved it!
You can't pass this one by!.......2003-12-26
This is an awesome book. It'll take your emotions and opinions for a ride. This book is a must have for anyone who likes to read books that make you think. So go ahead and buy the book. You won't regret it.
Fan of a great mind.......2003-11-26
This book reflects so many hidden thoughts of both, open and closed minds. If you are looking to escape your reality and enter a world of simple logic, questions and answers, this is the book to read. You grow to love this charactor and his mind in so many diferent ways. It's the perfect story with the perfect and most enlightening ending.
A Bright Start.......2003-11-23
As incoming authors go few kick in the door with such a confident breath of fresh air. This unforgiving and unrepentant allegory to life amongst the consuming masses in an at times repellent society have moments of dark wit that, while funny, leave an odd feeling remorse in the back of your mind. At times the mood is almost farsical... reading like a child runs though slick grass after a rain. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for something unique to read.
What it's all about:.......2003-11-19
The back of the book says:
Ride the current into a spiral of madness turned to clarity, and experience a full range of emotions as you journey through a maze in a little house of thought. This adventure flows from the writings of an outspoken, tumultuous man whose contemplative views are sure to change your outlook and opinions on life. Look cautiously into this mirror held to society and decide what is real as you are challenged to see the way we live as individuals and as a community.
Starting in 2010, this novel paints a blunt picture of the personalities of tomorrow while the main character struggles to find a social world that no longer exists. After stumbling over countless obstacles while searching for answers to life's big questions, he finds support and encouragement from old friends whom he never expected to see again. In the end, he is slapped in the face by the hand of reality and finally wakes up - or does he? You decide as the fight between the id and the superego unfolds in this Journal of a Mental Patient.
That's enough said.
