Book Description
Professor Korah's short monographs on specific topics within EC Competition law are well known and widely used. This work follows the pattern of her previous books on group exemptions for technology transfer and parallel imports. It examines the regulation on vertical agreements, starting with a chapter on the economic background, before developing, in a series of chapters, a careful analysis of vertical agreements and all the relevant case law. A further chapter deals with agreements which do not come within the regulation, again paying careful attention to the case law.

Book Description
Many people see the enjoyment of wine as an intimidating and complicated matter, requiring a mastery of arcane rules and rituals. In fact, there's no more to it than putting each wine to the ultimate test: Does it taste good? Wine writer Brian St. Pierre's book begins by introducing the basic flavors of the several grape varieties used in making wines around the world. Once those are understood, all the rest flows smoothly--what distinguishes the colors and types, how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, and even how much to spend on a bottle. St. Pierre's sensible approach combined with stunning photographs and elegant maps of the world's great wine-growing regions make this the perfect no-nonsense guide or lovely gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy the fruit of the vine.

Dated, but still quite enjoyable.......2005-06-26
You can't throw a wine cork without finding a book written for wine newbies. There's plenty of information for someone wholly new to the subject. What's harder to find is a book for someone like me, who knows the general differences between grape varieties but is far from confident in ordering or picking a bottle for dinner.
Despite its age -- this book dates from 1996 -- A Perfect Glass of Wine does the job. St. Pierre covers each grape variety in detail (5 or 6 pages), as well as a worthwhile section on choosing glassware and accessories (corkscrews and decanters). You'll also find lots of pretty photos, though they add no illumination to the text.
The book is entertaining for the anecdotes (such as a story about the Rhone Rangers, fans of Rhone wines). However, it's especially educational for people who want more than a description of riesling's acidity or even which dishes work well with it (the author recommends cold, cracked Dungeness crab and sourdough, for instance).
St. Pierre includes these, but what I found most valuable was his unabashed opinions about wines from each geography. For instance, still in the riesling section, he says, "California has had success with both styles, but not enough . . . They had great fun challenging Germany's best, but consumers, not sure of what they were getting when they bought a bottle, opted out."
The writing is often simply great, including quotes that make the wine business seem personal ("As Dan Duckhorn, one of the prime [Merlot] movers, later said wryly, 'We had a steep experience curve.'"). And he explains the variations in, say, Merlot, in terms understandable to a not-quite-beginner.
You DO have to keep in mind that the book is dated. From the text, it's evident that the pinot-grigio-everywhere craze hadn't quite taken off when this was written. But so what? I really enjoyed this book, and I think you will, too.

Option Trading Bible.......2007-10-01
Considered by many professionals as the bible of option trading, Options as a Strategic Investment is a must have addition to any serious option's trader. Option trading is widely misunderstood and feared by many stock traders mostly because it takes real effort to really capture the mechanics that is behind this trading form.
This book will help anyone that is beginning in this exciting field to get a grip of all the things that is involved in option trading and is a great reference book for professionals. The lessons are clear and the information is up to date and straight to the point. Studying this book alone or even better...this book with a few other reference books will get you in the right direction of this often misunderstood but highly profitable form of trading. A must buy addition to anyone's trading book collection.
Excellent book!.......2007-09-19
This is an excellent book for the serious option's trader. Very detail and in depth explanation of all different types of option trading strategies. Recommended!
Worth the money!.......2007-06-27
This book is probably the best on the subject. It is usually called the Option Bible. It would be nice if it was updated to reflect some modern trades (e.g. condor).
A Good Investment For Learning More About Options.......2007-06-27
This book is written in clear, easy to understand language with examples that go further to clarify what a specific strategy/technique is. It is not a boring, academic book. The only drawback that I have run into is that the commissions for trades are far in excessive of what is available through internet brokerages. The impact is that sometimes the book will stress that commissions will make a big difference in outcome whereas that is not generally true in my experience. I immediately learned about using in the money covered calls that either produce income or significantly lower the cost per share of a security and profitably but this to use.
Don't EVER do options without this book!.......2007-06-08
After reading The Options Course by George Fontanills, which is a very good book for beginners, you'll want take the next step. This is THE ultimate book on options. It covers absolutely every aspect of options trading. Your mouth will drop after you put your hands on this book. There's a gazzilion ways to cut your risk and maximize profits, and this book reveals every single one in detail. Do yourself a favor and buy this book.
The only problem I see is that the book is really, really boring for beginners and people who are not serious about trading options. I was just learning the basics when I first read it, and it was pretty hard to finish it. Read a couple of other books on options for beginners (like George's) and start paper trading options BEFORE you buy this one. I read a lot of books before I started trading and hated most of them. Now that I know how the real thing works and all the potential, I feel much more compelled to read it all over again.
The book offers an overview of every trade possible, all scenarios and follow-up action. All the examples are very clear and well explained. There's a lot of ways to lock in profits too, all very well described. Even if you've been trading for 10 years, you will be amazed when you read this book. If you read it thoroughly 4 or 5 times a year, there's absolutely no excuse for you not to become a master in options trading. If all the other books are the options college, this is your PhD course.

Customer Reviews:
Real Options.......2007-05-14
Mun's book shows how real options problems, like those faced in the real world, can be solved. Other books may provide a better introduction to real options concepts, but the methods employed are suitable only for very simple problems. Where other approaches require that you develop your own lattices (or other solutions), Mun shows you how to use his Supper Lattice Solver and Monte Carlo simulation software to solve these problems. I am convinced that his approach will not only facilitate the solution of these problems, but will also be more readily accepted by management. I look forward to acquiring Mun's software and applying it in practice.
The Second Edition - A Great Practical Guide through the Real Option Debate.......2005-11-30
As practitioners and academics continue to grapple with quantifiable uncertainties in real asset decision making, the debate about real option models will no doubt continue.
Johnathan Mun's second book and more specifically his case study approach allows practitioners from diverse industries to enter the debate with simple excel asset pricing skills. To my mind there is no better pragmatic work on the topic than the second edition of Real Options Analysis. With the book in one hand and the robust SLS software up on the screen - framing, pricing and understanding real options is pretty straightforward.
Two points to note: After 30 days, just as you begin to get hooked on the superb software it is likely to gently expire. That's when you are saved by the second point; the author is hugely supportive - His `one line insights' in response to specific queries made this a great purchase.

On average: a good book .......2004-07-30
This was my first book on Real Options. After this, I complemented my knowledge with more accurate researches on the theoritic foundations on the subject (eg. Trigeorgis and Copeland).
What I liked of this text is that it was a soft landing into the Real Option world, with a simple and easily understandable description. Its major pro is to present transparently the basics of a concept that is often approached at a too high and formal level.
What I did not like is the fact that few chapters at the end were not really useful but full of stuff and formulas with no explanations that cannot practically be used. I had the sensation they were out of place, since I could grasp their meaning only after passing to more comprehensive books.
One more criticism is that you don't understand the effect of the difference between private and public risk in real options evaluation as you do with other texts. However, I still consider this the book where I formed my basics before being able to master some other more detailed book (but also more difficult to master). The Crystall-Ball package was also a nice surprise. At the end, if you consider the price and the content it was surely good value for money even though it's not a masterpiece.
An excellent book for intermediate reader.......2004-01-28
Mun's book is an excellent guide for those who have basic knowledge about asset valuation and want to study real options.
decent read on real options.......2003-07-07
decent read... did a good job on explaining practical uses of real options. would have been better if not so much written promoting the use of crystal ball. overall, happy to see that minimizes coverage on replicating portfolios and focuses on risk neutral prob. i recommend this book, especially if mba student and brief coverage in intro class of real options leaves you interested / unfulfilled.

Excellent book...not for beginners!!.......2003-08-23
Holmes Crouch has many OUTSTANDING books out there. Although this one is called "Starting Your Business" it really deals almost exclusively with matters related to taxation for businesses. It discusses your business from the standpoint of staying in the good graces of the IRS. Employee taxes, proper record keeping, filing forms, etc. etc.
It's "heavy" reading, not for someone just dabbling with the idea of starting a business. It's not a fast read. But it is good, solid information told without any sugarcoating. Crouch tells you right up front what a pain the government can be, and shares some horror stories.
So, this is not a touchy-feely "get inspired" business book. Thus, it's not the easiest read. Also, I imagine each year, as tax laws change, the book gets just a tiny bit more outdated. That's why it gets 4 stars instead of 5. Really should be 4.33 stars!!
Customer Reviews:
A Pivotal Period of History and a Pivotal Subject.......2002-02-09
While David McCullough's more recent biography of Harry Truman has received widespread recent attention, Robert J. Donovan's earlier biography published in 1977 has much to recommend it. Whereas McCullough's extensive volume covers Truman's entire life, Donovan zeroes in on the pivotal period of a pivotal presidency. Donovan begins as Truman takes over the awesome responsibility of the presidency after Franklin D. Roosevelt's death. Donovan covers in perceptive detail Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb on Japan as a means of ending World War Two. Donovan follows the war to its conclusion, and also focuses carefully on the exciting 1948 presidential campaign, when Truman scored one of the greatest upsets in American political history by defeating heavily favored Republican nominee Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York.
Donovan turns an astute eye as well on Truman's great foreign policy accomplishments of the Marshall Plan, the Truman Doctrine, and the creation of NATO. As a Middle East historian, I was benefitted by his thorough presentation of the controversy leading up to the granting of recognition to the new nation of Israel, and how Truman's decision was crafted.
I would urge that any dedicated Truman scholar should read both the McCullough and Donovan volumes. McCullough covers a wider perspective, while Donovan, on the other hand, gives broader coverage to the pivotal foreign policy events from 1945 to 1948, as well as Truman's sensational upset victory over Dewey.

Book Description
On February 10. 1998, Carol Hooker died after struggling for several years with asthma, epilepsy, lupus and, finally, cancer. Yet she lives on in Heaven and the memories of her many friends. "Calvary's Child: The Life of Amanda Carol Hooker" by Tom Hooker, her father, is a bittersweet account of her birth in Tupelo, Mississippi, her early years in Vicksburg and Petal Mississippi, her rebellious early teens, and her ultimate salvation by Jesus Christ and her witness for Him. "Calvary's Child" is an example of what God can do with a willing subject.

A Truly Remarkable Person.......2000-12-27
Like Carol, I am a member of the High Point University Class of 1998. Carol was one of the most kind, honest, and intelligent people I've ever met. I now attend East Carolina University School of Medicine, and seldom a day passes without a thought about Carol; she wanted the opportunity to train here, but cancer took her away before she could come. This book gave me new insight into Carol's early years, revealing much I did not know. This book, like Carol, is truly remarkable.
One of the BEST books I have ever read!.......1999-11-30
I read this book in one day, through a few tears, as well as laughter. This is a very, very touching book which should be read by everyone who has a child! It is very heart-wrenching to know how bad cancer hurts the whole family. I definitely give this book 5 stars!
Very Warm,personal.......1999-08-07
I am a personal friend of the Hookers. I was with Carol at different times in her life. She was one of the strongest christian I have every know. This is an encouragering book for you to hold on and trust in Jesus Christ.
a touching yet positive telling of the loss of a child.......1999-07-30
Amanda Hooker was full of promise; the perfect child when she became ill. This book chonicles her fight for life and her parents' struggle to help her survive, and finally to go through the loss of their adored daughter to the demon cancer. The author emphasizes her positive attitude and how hard they all fought. There is detail about the treatment that she received, and the fact that the family relied on God to get them through one of life's most difficult experiences. Sharing their experience was no doubt helpful to the parents of this talented young person who was full of promise, yet taken in her prime.
