      Book Description

      The Russian Law on Joint Stock Companies, together with the Civil Code, is the principal law regulating the activities of joint stock companies in Russia today. Author Anna Tarassova was its primary Russian drafter; authors Black and Kraakman served as advisors during the drafting process. Guide to the Russian Law on Joint Stock Companies is their definitive examination and analysis of Russian Company Law. The authors have bolstered their own expert, first-hand perspective with the advice and guidance of practicing attorneys who work with this law on a daily basis. Their treatment includes numerous practical components that provide invaluable assistance to practitioners: + detailed explanations of Company Law provisions, including the interplay between various sections, and between the Company Law and the Civil Code; + discussion of ambiguous provisions of the law and how best to interpret these provisions; + practical solutions to troublesome features of the law; + table of differences between the treatment of open and closed joint stock companies; + step-by-step guide to implementing different forms of reorganizations; + how-to explanation on creation and use of announced shares; + how-to guide for corporate planners on creating a company with only the minimum charter capital permitted by the law; + methods for avoiding the legal limit on payment of dividends; + model charter for an open joint stock company, including all necessary provisions for compliance, and extensive optional provisions to provide good governance rules in areas where Company Law rules are unsatisfactory; + tables listing which company decisions must be adopted by a shareholder meeting or by the board of directors; + discussion of how a company can use periodic offers to acquire its own shares as a substitute for dividends; + side-by-side English/Russian translation of the Company Law with endnotes explaining word choices and highlighting interpretation questions and technical errors in the law; + side-by-side English/Russian translation of relevant Civil Code provisions; + side-by-side English/Russian translation of a key 1997 interpretation of the Company Law, in Supreme Court/Supreme Arbitrage Court Resolution No. 4/8; and + model law useable as a base for drafting Company Law in other emerging markets. The book also includes features of particular interest to academics: + explanation of the theoretical structure of the law as a 'self-enforcing' law; + critique of the new Company Law, including explication of places where the law complies with the letter of the Civil Code yet reaches results not contemplated by Civil Code drafters; + model Company Law which corrects errors and oversights in the draft that led to the actual Company Law and incorporates new ideas that emerged in the legislative process; and + explanation of the differences between the model and actual law. An index of all references to Civil Code and Company Law and a subject matter index enhance this work even further as an accessible resource. These extensive practical features, the authors' own critical role in the actual drafting of this law, and the comprehensive and insightful nature of the Guide to the Russian Law on Joint Stock Companies make it an unmatched work of lasting value.

      5 out of 5 stars Ingenious Way to Present Office Politics.......2007-02-11

      A story presented in comic book form that follows an ordinary Joe (named Gray)in uniting his company's division to make changes before the division is eliminated. Tremendous wisdom presented in thinking about others viewpoints and dealing with sensitive (ie aggressive) egos in getting things done. Humorous and engaging -it's a great way to introduce those who are entering the work world or the world weary who have forgotten the subtleties it takes to motivate others. Questionaires and questions, specific recommendations about what you can do to help with sales or cost savings.

      5 out of 5 stars A MUST HAVE FOR EVERY NEW PM.......2005-10-26

      "I never really wanted to be a PM but the company recognized my efforts in supporting Widgets XYZ and therefore they decided to promote me by becoming a PM!!" I am sure most of u ended up like that. Well I certainly did. I will tell you that this job is not easy and especially if u are not an IT background PM, u r in trouble!

      This book believe it or not I used to read in between trips to Italy before I took this new job I am in. Forget PMI (well don't forget but ...) this book will give you're the instant PM Adernialin u need and it will also manage your expectations of how things should happen. It ahs a people side in this book which most other techs books fail to see. It was allot of fun to read. I have been 12 months on the job now and I think I like it now!

      1 out of 5 stars who are they trying to kid?.......2004-09-25

      Gray matters is disappointing in many respects. First, the cartooning is crude and not up to standards set by syndicated strips. Second, there's not a single laugh in the whole book -- this is no Dilbert. Third, the advice is common sense to the point of being patronizing -- it features such brilliant insights as "listen to people." Wow, who'd ever think of doing that? Finally, several character actions are highly unethical and could get you in hot water if you did the same, such as breaking into a co-worker's computer, or moonlighting without your boss's knowledge at a customer company strictly to get inside information. You want to talk lawsuit? Read "The Dilbert Principle" instead -- its insights are hilarious and telling.

      5 out of 5 stars A book for even those who "know it all".......2004-02-04

      I approached this book with an attitude of "I know this content already," "I could have written this book". . . . But a few pages into the book, I realized I was learning.

      The content is surprisingly complete. When skimming the Table of Contents, the topics did not seem comprehensive. But after reading this book, the important things were covered; including sensitive areas that are usually not discussed.

      I appreciate that much of the content is in comic strip format. I know, I know, this doesn't sound good. But I have so many books that I've started and stopped because I don't have time to read it all. So it's very gratifying to get through the content of the book in one evening.

      In summary, I learned some important stuff from this book and know that I can return to this book for reminders and details. Five stars!

      5 out of 5 stars Great Tips on How to succedd in your career.......2004-01-26

      This is the first business book I've read that teach you great lessons about how to succeed in business and in your career in a humoristic manner.

      It references stuff like the 8 commandments for selling people on your ideas, and the 7 Deadly Workplace Sins and how to overcome them.

      This is definitely a must read book.

      Book Description

      "Some new mushroomers will find this single volume all the library they need to harvest and enjoy wild mushrooms for the table."

      Mushroom the Journal

      "The publication is of excellent quality and print, well edited, authoritative, and provides an excellent introduction to edible and poisonous wild mushrooms."

      Mycologia

      Unusual shapes and colors make many mushrooms alluring to the eye, while the exotic flavors and textures of edible mushrooms are a gourmet delicacy for the palate. Yet many people never venture beyond the supermarket offerings, fearing that all other mushrooms are poisonous.

      With amateur mushroom hunters especially in mind, David Fischer and Alan Bessette have prepared Edible Wild Mushrooms of North America. This field guide presents more than 100 species of the most delicious mushrooms, along with detailed information on how to find, gather, store, and prepare them for the table. More than 70 savory recipes, ranging from soups and salads to casseroles, canapes, quiches, and even a dessert, are included.

      Throughout, the authors constantly emphasize the need for correct identification of species for safe eating. Each species is described in detailed, nontechnical language, accompanied by a list of key identifying characteristics that reliably rule out all but the target species. Superb color photographs also aid in identification. Poisonous "lookalikes" are described and illustrated, and the authors also assess the risks of allergic or idiosyncratic reactions to edible species and the possibilities of chemical or bacterial contamination.

      Lovely photographs, excellent identity descriptions, tons of useful information and I love the recipes -- plan to make every one of them.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent Book For Novice Edible Mushroom Hunter.......2005-03-25

      This is a concise easy to use book for people just starting to
      hunt for edible mushrooms. It concentrates extensively on the edibles, and look alike poisonous. By eliminating 1000s of other mushrooms it is great for identifying the finest edibles. It makes a great companion to a more all encompassing publication. The recipes I've tried were good also.

      2 out of 5 stars Limited scope, horrible recipes........2004-01-07

      I bought this book many years ago as the first of what is now a fairly large collection on the subject. As the title indicates, it concentrates on the EDIBLE fungi, so the reviewer who was dissappointed because he/she could ID only one of the 13 mushrooms he/she found has unfair expectations out of the scope of this work. That said, only the most popular edibles seem to be listed here, and variants on those species are not covered in much depth. It's ok for those who just want to be able to distinguish a golden chanterelle from a jack-o-lantern, or a morel from a thimble-cap so they can safely gather some edibles. The worst thing about this book, however, is it's unfortunate recipes. Every single recipe I've tried from it completely sucks. Either the cooking method is inappropriate to that particular mushroom (turning delicate specimins to mush, for instance, or inundating absorptive ones with oil), or strong flavors from other ingredients overwhelm the sometimes subtle flavors of the mushrooms themselves. I get much better results by trusting my cooking intuition and experimenting than I do by following these recipes.

      2 out of 5 stars more confused than before.......2003-08-19

      I came to US from Europe several years ago. It was a family tradition to go pick wild mushrooms every fall during my childhood years. So when I moved to Virginia countryside I decided I will try and revive the mushroom picking tradition in my new country. I started with a book to help me identify all those different, unfamiliar species of mushrooms. So I bought the "Edible Wild Mushroom Guide". I went to the woods and picked a bunch of different mushrooms - each one was different and tried to use the Guide to identify them . Out of about 14 visibly different species of mushrooms that I picked - the guide gave positive ID on ONE (!) mushroom only. Other 13 were not even included in the book. I can't testify to the quality of recepie part of the book - I was somewhat reluctant to cook things I can not identify!

      5 out of 5 stars Great for Beginners.......2002-11-15

      For a "first" book on wild mushrooms I found this one to be very good. The pictures show the top, bottom, stems, colors and different parts of each mushroom. There are "warnings" on those that are ediable, but make some people sick, and the NO-NO"s are equally shown and written about. We're just new at this, and for a "starter" book this was just the ticket.

            Explains how to apply the techniques of technical analysis to fundamental data-information not found elsewhere
            * Shows how regression analysis works and tells how to use it as a tool for price forecasting
            * Includes step-by-step instruction on how to build a forecast model
            * Contains a 13-chapter section illustrating the applications of fundamental techniques to individual markets and market groups
            * Outlines how to analyze seasonal fluctuations, including seasonal price charts of 27 active markets

            Numerous charts, tables, and examples illustrate all key concepts, and the text itself is written in the clear, nontechnical style that has helped make Jack Schwager one of today's most widely read and highly regarded investment writers.

            5 out of 5 stars Schwager is very indepth...sometimes too indepth........2003-04-08

            This is the most comprehensive books on Fundamental Analysis that I have ever seen. This book along with Schwager's Technical Analysis book are required reading for new futures brokers that I hire to my firm.

            Mr.Schwager and Mr.Turner have put a very strong mathematical spin on how fundamental analysis can be accomplished. They dissect government trade reports and analyst reports and put an empirical face on the nebulus act of fundamental analysis.

            In the preface of the book Mr.Schwager admits that fundamental analysis is not quite accurate. Which begs the question, "why write such a complex book?"

            This book is not for the faint of heart, nor is it light reading. It is quite indepth and for the most part above the heads of many beginning futures investors. In order to understand any of the examples you have to have solid trading reference points in your personal trading life.

            I recommended it for intermediate traders primarily.

            After being involved with futures for 11 years and authoring three books on the subject, I am always impressed at Mr.Schwager thoroughness in researching.

            5 out of 5 stars A MUST FOR WHOEVER WANTS TO START IN FUTURES TRADING.......1999-09-23

            This Series "Schwager on Futures" is the biggest work has ever been written on futures trading. As a Futures Trader I advise everybody to read these books before to starts any real trading in Futures, that if not taken in the proper way can be very painfull. As a Member of IFTA(International federation Of Tecnical Analisys)I suggest you to read it joint with John Murphy's "Technical Analisys f Futures Markets" and "Intermarket Technical Analisys" this will give you a integral knowledge of Futures Environment that is what you need on your Trading philosophy. I always let these books on my desk because I need them so many times during my trading day. THEY ARE A REAL REFERENCE. The good thing of this series is that you can test your comprension by the various study guides. Reading the book about "Managed Trading" You can even get able to judge the returns of the various CTA and decide when it is better to invest in them and to whom give your money.Probably you are not be interested in the Fundamental analisys book but remember, especially in the commodities markets, EVEN IF YOU ARE GOING TO TRADE TECHNICALLY IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND FUNDAMENTAL ANALISYS!!! Thank you very much to have spent all this time for read me.

            4 out of 5 stars A must read!!.......1999-03-16

            Jack Schwager is an excellent author and researcher. His Wizard Trading Fund is certainly not one of the best around, but the man's ideas must be respected. There is a lot of usefull information in this book even if you are a purely technical trader. Most but not all markets are treated in this fine volume.

                  Book Description

                  This work examines the extent to which income taxation is influenced by the issue of environmental protection in EU Member States. Reports from seven countries belonging to the EUCOTAX (European Universities Cooperating on Taxes) network -- Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom -- investigate the relationship between environmental policy and direct taxation. The analysis covers two broad issues: the measure incorporated into personal and corporate income tax regimes to stimulate environmental protection, and the treatment of fiscal liabilities with respect to environmental legislation. The work is part of a project supported by the European Commission and the London Institute for Public Policy Research, aimed at stimulating debate about environmental tax reform in Europe. The project was coordinated by Professor Tulio Rosembuj of the University of Barcelona and Professor Peter Essers of Tilburg University, The Netherlands.

                    5 out of 5 stars Dementia: the LOSS . . . the LOVE . . . the LAUGHTER.......2007-07-04

                    It was good to read to a book about dementia from a writer who knows first hand what it's like to take care of someone with dementia. It was very informative and funny in places. I am taking care of my mother who has dementia and have found the book to be quite helpful. I recomend this book to anyone who is going through the journey of dementia with a loved one.

                    4 out of 5 stars A book of hope and answers........2004-01-30

                    Three years ago my husband and I moved in to take care of his 91 year old mother.
                    Now at 94 she is in mid term dementia. After one night when she was having difficulty with sleeping and staying in bed,I began to wonder what we were in for.
                    I went on the Internet to see what I could find out about Dementia and what to expect. While searching I found a book written by Sunny Vogler. Her mom had dementia. The book was about her experiences. I sent for the book.
                    When I began reading I could not put the book down. She brought to life what we would be walking into. Her sense of humor throughout the whole of the book gave us both hope we, could do this. I learned to expect the crazy visits from imaginary friends.
                    The first night my mother-in-law had a lady in her bed trying to steal her walker, I could hear Sunny and remember how she handled these times. I did not have to panic. I could relax and know this is just the beginning.
                    Sunny brought the truth of how to walk one day at a time. Enjoy the moments while you can. Don't wait until the end to start emptying out the house. Things we did not think about. Who to call when the day does arrive. She has all the names in order.
                    One of the greatest things was to find her email address at the end of the book. When I go to the pits for a day she is there to anchorage ,and let us know we can do this. It is a must read for those of us who give up our life and move in with our aging parent. Her humor keeps us from getting so stressed about the day mom will no longer remember how to swallow her food or get up out of bed. We have learned from Sunny's book to just enjoy the moment we have.
                    I have also learned even though I do not have her wonderful sense of humor, I being a serious person, I can trust each new day because I run to the book. Thank you Sunny.
