        5 out of 5 stars Excellent text book.......2000-05-22

        I found this book to be clear and very understandable in teaching the basic foundations of law. The many examples in the book, of how the law works, that the author gave also proved to be quite helpful to my students. This book would not only be helpful to the busines student, but to any person who has an interest in learning about the many aspects of law.

              5 out of 5 stars A Book to Read and Read Again.......2007-06-29

              This book is a wonderful blueprint for anyone to build upon. I found the book easy to read, entertaining and insightful.
              The main theme is uplifting because it is basically that there is no secret to success. Just work...Hard Work.
              That is a liberating idea. Work, focus, perserverance and vision. That is the "secret". Now you have it. But read the book, too!
              I would recommend this book to anyone.

              5 out of 5 stars Hard Work: Success Made Easy - A must read.......2005-02-08

              I learned many, many wonderful, exciting and new things from Michael Crews' book, HARD WORK: Success Made Easy. His 16 "Crews Controls" are simple and common ideas that we simply forget to incorporate in life... yet, they will definitely make it easy to succeed if followed. Readers also learn what a generous and amazing man Michael Crews is and how he has used his success to make others succeed. It truly is inspiring. And super easy and quick to read. I learned more by far in HARD WORK than in any other success book I've read to date.

                Cookies, cakes, sauces, shakes, and more! "Rum-soaked Chocolate Malibu cake" and "Triple Layer Chocolate Peanut Butter cheesecake" and "White Chocolate Pecan Sheets" and
                "Mocha Souffle" and "Chocolate Caramel Custard". The lists of yummies go on and on. About 120 pages of recipes that are
                NOT pushing someone's product. The cookbook lies flat, open to where you can see big pictures of the ultimate outcomes. Delicious! "Chocolate Peanut Flouritines."--one of our favorities.
                I love this book! Good-size print! Easy to follow instructions (and I'm one who needs it easy-to-follow) You see the needed ingredients on the side, (no surprises later on in instructions) everything listed with what stage they go with (in other words, are they part of the crust, syrup, topping, or whatever) I wish more cookbook authors would take cue, make it simple to follow, feature with solid book, and don't try to slyly push products I don't want. I want to bake or cook and enjoy the
                outcome.

                It's a good book,recipes is well explained but not as good as the one I expected to get from Mrs Field's kitchen.Anyway it's delicious.

                I bought this book for myself and tried several recipes and took them to parties and to work. Everyone who tried them loved them!!! I have since bought 3 more copies as gifts for family members since they have loved the things that I have made so far from the book.

                5 out of 5 stars This book is FAN-TAB-ULOUS.......1998-11-23

                I absolutely love the recipes in this book and you will too

                4 out of 5 stars Good reading for chocolate lovers.......1998-03-20

                Debbi Fields is a self-proclaimed chocolate lover, and that fact is obvious in this mouthwatering collection of recipes. She divides the book into sections on cakes, cookies, candies, etc., but my favorite is her "Showstoppers" section--which I think is far and away the best part of the book. She has a flourless chocolate cake recipe I've made for several years now that is simple and delicious and always receives rave reviews whenever I serve it. I also love her fudgy walnut cake and her peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. Chocolate heaven! Each recipe is accompanied by a color photo of the dessert, and there are also photos sprinkled throughout showing a particular process involved in concocting the dessert. These are great, but occasionally the recipes themselves fall short. At times the instructions are unclear or the written order of assembly doesn't match the order in which the steps should be done. I would recommend the baker read the recipe through carefully once or twice before starting, just to make sure you know whether a particular step is going to take longer than expected (e.g., chilling a ganache for several hours). The other problem I have with this book is that it doesn't seem to be as innovative as one might expect from Mrs. Fields. I also have the Mrs. Fields Cookie Book, which I've come to consider a staple among my cookie-baking cookbooks. It has terrific recipes that are relatively simple, taste great, and contain ingredients that almost anyone will love. However, the I Love Chocolate! book has more recipes that seem unnecessarily complicated or contain more unusual ingredients that aren't as readily available or as popular among sweets-eaters. Having said that, I still would recommend this book to anyone who loves chocolate. It's worth the price for the flourless chocolate cake alone.

                    Book Description

                    In The Gold Ring, Capitol Hill veteran Kenneth D. Ackerman tells the story of two dazzling con men who rose to the top of the Erie Railway Company before fixing their ambitions on a scam so great it would make them two of the richest men in America—and cement their reputation as two of the most corrupt. They were Jay Gould, the ruthless self-promoter who came to be recognized as the most hated, if brilliant, man of his generation, and his partner, the extravagant showman Jim Fisk, whose insatiable indulgences finally led to his demise. Featuring a cast of supporting characters that includes Boss Tweed, Albert Cardozo, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Ulysses S. Grant, The Gold Ring evokes an age of scandal and depravity in the world of high finance that makes today’s climate of corporate excess and deception seem positively tame by comparison. Featuring numerous historic photographs, this is a compelling and fiercely entertaining insight into Wall Street's early years.

                    3 out of 5 stars Publisher of "The Gold Ring" deserves a Lump of Coal.......2006-11-10

                    The book was excellent - just what I was looking for to expand my understanding of this fascinating period of American history. But Kenneth Ackerman needs to hire a proofreader or find a new publisher. The copy of the book (paperback) that I received and read had hundreds of typographical errors - on some pages, there were more than a dozen errors - reversed letters, missing letters, missing punctuation, extra punctuation, duplicate lines. This was not what I expected for a serious historical study, nor for a book purchased from Amazon.com.

                    5 out of 5 stars Good financial adventure tale.......2005-06-26

                    Ackerman manages to make the financial part of this scandal easily comprehensible. He also does a great job of sketching in the principals as living, breathing characters.

                    At the center of this tale sit Jay Gould and Jim Fisk, an unlikely team-- one a stiff, and tightly self-controlled, the other a flamboyant high-roller who lived openly with his mistress. How they hatched a plot which nearly trashed the entire US economy is more adventure than detective story.

                    Ackerman has put his tale together with a good assortment of sources (once the gold scheme blew up, lots of people had lots to say, some of it in court), and he manages to give us just enough background for understanding without wandering off down some side street. And he shows how the fallout included the beginnings of federal regulations to protect the US economy.

                    Originally written in 1988, this is a great piece of work and a welcome reissue (though filled with an extraordinarily large number of typos). Highly recommended.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great book........2003-04-24

                    I loved reading this account of the money game in old New York played by the masters Fisk and Gould. The story was gripping and the themes amazingly relevant to today.

                          Book Description

                          Acquisitions and joint ventures can be difficult, costly, and risky, but if a company uses the right teams and processes and is adequately prepared, the chance of success can be significantly increased. Dr. Triantis, a practitioner with extensive experience in M&A planning and implementation and business strategizing, discusses the resources and preparation that are needed before an acquisition or joint venture should even be started, and the various roles and responsibilities of project participants once it is underway. His book examines the sequence of steps, and the events involved in conducting an acquisition or joint venture and shows how the screening and opportunity assessment process, along with proper planning and transfer of responsibilities, can go a long way toward creating the conditions necessary for success. The book provides guidelines, advice, and recommendations that project teams in key areas must focus on, and by doing so it introduces much needed discipline into the M&A decision making process. It treats important issues and ingredients in project financial analysis, valuation, risk management, negotiations, due diligence and legal agreements. In addition, by examining M&A and joint venture project financing, implementation, the creation and harnessing of synergies, and the need for monitoring and control, the book gives readers greater confidence in their own M&A decision making. Readers will find instruction on how to obtain corporate approvals, deal with project impediments, assess the performance of project teams, distill lessons learned in conducting acquisitions and joint ventures, and how to "institutionalize" their knowledge after the project is completed. Highly detailed, with a unique viewpoint that challenges prevailing orthodoxies of M&A management, Dr. Triantis's step-by-step approach will be valuable not only for corporate M&A staffers but also for college-level teachers and students.

                            Book Description

                            This book surveys recent developments in public economics by taking as a case-study the proposals for a basic income/flat tax scheme. It discusses various approaches to taxation and presents a framework for a system that would affect both personal income and the social security system, replacing the one by a flat-rate income tax and the other by a guaranteed income. This idea has generated wide interest in a number of countries, and is being actively discussed by several political parties. This book explains how these changes would benefit a wide variety of social groups, leading to a greater redistribution of income. At the same time, it also raises the question of whether a single reform can meet the very different objectives of different supporters. The author reviews different areas of public economics in which there has been active research in recent years-- namely the theory of optimum taxation, public choice theory, general equilibrium analysis of incidence, numerical tax- benefit modelling, and econometric studies of work incentives--and asks how these contribute to our understanding of this particular policy reform. He also indicates the promising directions for future research. The author does not argue for or against the basic income/flat tax proposal, but believes it should be on the agenda for any serious discussion of tax and social security reform for the twenty-first century.

                                Josef Goebbels, Hermann Goring, Heinrich Himmler, Rudolph Hess, Albert Speer and Karl Donitz. These were the men who smoothed Adolf Hitler's path to power and became the perpetrators of a reign of terror unparalleled in history. They were the supporters and executives at Hitler's regime, carrying out his orders with deadly efficency. This radical new assessment of power under the swastika reveals many unknown facts and gives a unique but disturbing glimpse behind the scenes of the Nazi state.

                                2 out of 5 stars A Bizarre Work of History.......2003-04-30

                                Guido Knopp's "Hitler's Henchmen" is really a multiple biography of the six men the author identifies as the German dictator's most important disciples: Herman Goering, Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbles, Albert Speer, Rudolf Hess and Admiral Karl Doenitz. In Knopp's chosen lineup lies the first problem. Most students of The Third Reich would certainly place Hitler's Chief of Staff Martin Boorman and SS Security Chief Reinhard Heydrich well above the ineffectual Hess or the plodding Doenitz in terms of their importance to the Nazi regime. Ignoring those two vital figures is a serious flaw in the book.

                                The second problem is the book's configuartion. Not witstanding the fact that a few chapters is not nearly enough space to adequately explain the lives and roles of any of these individuals, Knopp provides pages of direct quotes from and about each one, interspersed at random throughout the narrative. He also makes the fatal mistake in such an introductory work of assuming the reader is already intimately familiar with the overall history of Nazi Germany, referring to larger events without attributing dates or in what sequence they occurred. All of this left me wondering exactly who the intended audience was for this work? Nazi scholars won't learn anything they didn't already know, while casual readers are likely to find themselves hopelessly confused.

                                Overall, "Hitler's Henchmen" is not a well written work of history, even allowing for the fact that it was translated from German into English.

                                5 out of 5 stars Hitler's Henchmen.......2002-04-30

                                I'm only on the 3rd chapter, but from what I've read so far this book is well written. I'm only 17 and I don't know much about that era besides the war. because my history books never said anything thing about these men. It gave me an insight on what went on nazi Germany. When I started reading this book I thought that Hitler was the behind everything. I didn't even know these people existed. This book is giving me a psychology and history lesson.

                                Keep up the good work. Guido Knopp

                                4 out of 5 stars Firebrands, Enforcers and Architects........2001-08-13

                                Guido Knopp has given us six psychologial pen portraits (not biographies) of leaders of the Third Reich - Goebbels, Goring, Himmler, Hess, Speer and Donitz. He will have no truck with the argument that Hitler was a weak, lazy or disinterested dictator. Rather, the henchmen portrayed in this book took their orders directly from the fuhrer. Knopp writes, "The Reich's murderous existence depended solely on him. Without him, it became a ship of the dead." Although the author has included some new material from British and Russian archives, the analysis of the characters does not break a lot of new ground (how could it?) although this reviewer was interested in Knopp's account that Speer may have returned to the Berlin bunker in late April 1945 to dissuade Hitler from appointing him as successor. The author's strength lies in putting these nazi leaders properly in context. He shows up very well the inconsistencies in Himmler's character which made him both a yes man and, ultimately, a traitor. Donitz by contrast was made of sterner stuff - he went on fighting for supplies and raw materials long after there was anything to distribute. If you want a summary of what made these men tick, interspersed with wry contemporary comments from their colleagues, Knopp's book is well worth studying. When Goring told Hitler in 1939, "We've got to stop going for broke," Hitler replied, "All my life I've gone for broke." Those few words aptly sum up the leadership problem of the Third Reich.

                                When I first came across this book,I almost passed it up as an insignificient "coffee table" book. On a short glance through,I decided it was well worth reading and owning.This book is a good companion to "Hitler-The Missing Years" by Ernst Hanfstaengl,which I just read and wrote a review on September 25,2006.Unfortunately, that book had no photographs except one of the author and Hitler on the front cover and one of the author and his son on the back cover.
                                Here is where this book comes in. It gives excellent insights into that inner group which made up the inner circle of power of the Nazi Party.
                                It covers Goebbels,Goring,Hess,Borman,Himmler,Speer,von Schirach,von Ribbentrop,Rosenberg and Eva Braun.While the book concentrates on these 10 people,it also deals briefly with many of the other people associated with them and family members.The book is quite large 10" by 14",with 192 pages. There are 54 color and 250 B&W photographs. There are many full page and all excellently composed and printed on fine quality paper and bound into a high quality volume. No matter how many photos you've seen of these people,you'll be impressed the the photographs in this book.
                                Nor is this simply a "picture-book";there is also excellent text on each character,that gives you a good idea of what they were like,what they believed in,and why they achieved the power and position they had in the party. Photos show what they looked like in their early days,even as children,how they looked when first joining the Party, and with most of them ,what they looked during their trials in Nuremberg and even after their imprisonment and after executions.
                                There are numerous quotes by these people themselves as well as Hitler him. As an example,on page 135,he says to Albert Speer;
                                "Then,when I was called upon to take up the leadership of my country, I wanted to transform it,together with you,Speer,erecting one edifice after another.It was going to be the most beautiful country in the world. Just think what we would have made of Berlin.Paris would have been nothing compared to it. But they spoiled everything for me. They interpreted my overtures as weakness. They thought that I was afraid. Me,of all people! What does that scum know about Fuhrer of National Socialist Germany? We'll get them! And then we'll settle scores! They will come to know me yet! This time nobody escapes! I have always been too soft! But no more! This time we settle up!"
                                The book has a fine index along with of about 150 book Bibliography.

                                One person I kept looking for was the author of the other book I reviewed ,Ernst Hanfstaengl. I believe he is shown in the photograph with Hitler,Goring and someone else on page 38. Ernst is standing on Hitler's right;though not named. He is also shown as the author of two books in the Bibliography.
                                Overall,a very good book and resource.

                                    Hitler's appointment as Chancellor of Germany in 1933 began a twelve-year reign of terror throughout most of Europe. Hitler masterminded the atrocities, but he did not act alone. Hitler's Henchmen chronicles the lives of five of Hitler's closest associates - the men called upon to implement the brutalities which resulted in the Third Reich being responsible for history's darkest days.
