As an 'old QB,' I was reminded of my won experiences and the valuable lessons on the 'fields of friendly strife.'

Great ideas to share for anyone who mentors others.......2000-01-12

Pat Williams lays the foundation for developing a great team in any area of life. The chapters are well organized and you will find him easy to read.

As someone who works closely with college aged youth this book offered me tangible lessons to building a productive and successful team. Using his own experiences as a model, (Pat and his wife have over 20 children adopted and otherwise) you know his principles are tried and true on his family, let alone with the Orlando Magic.

Have a pen ready when you read this work as you will find yourself taking notes from almost every page and you will rewarded for your efforts as a team attitude oozes into your personality. This ranks up there on my list of must reads with books on leadership by John Maxwell and business by Harvey Mackay.

I loved this book and I'm a critical self help book junkie.......1999-02-02

It's hard to believe that a guy who has 18 kids would have time to write a book like this, let alone, something interesting and motivating. It is quite practical and you don't have to run a team or be a professional athlete to enjoy this. I saw Pat on CNBC and that's what led me to this reading. It's enjoyable while teaching you something.

A DEFINITIVE COOKERY BOOK ON NICOISE CUISINE.......2003-10-25

From the blurb, Mireille Johnston was born in Nice [naturellement] and educated in France and the USA. She translated the script for the classic film "The Sorrow and the Pity" - directed by Marcel Ophuls - and also hosted a superb series on regional French cooking that was shown here in Canada on TVO (TV Ontario, a publicly-funded educational network).

This easy-to-follow cookbook includes the classic Nicoise recipes such as bourride (creamy garlic fish soup),soupe de pistou (vegetable soup flavoured with pesto (basil paste)), hors-d'oeuvres such as anchoiade (anchovy and garlic spread), pan bagna (classic sandwich with tomatoes, anchovy fillets, and a bit of tuna, etc.), pissaladiere (onion tart), tapenade (anchovy, olive, garlic, and capers spread), salads such as salades blanches (warm bean, cauliflower, and potato salad dressed with a spicy vinaigrette), salade de haricots verts (warm green bean salad with a vinaigrette composed of crushed garlic, good vinegar and olive oil, and salt and pepper), the classic "salade nicoise" (includes tomatoes, cucumbers, lima beans, purple artichokes, green or red peppers, onions, hard-cooked eggs, anchovy fillets (again!), basil or mint, radishes, and tuna - all artfully arranged (compose) on an attractive plate), sauces such as aioli (garlic mayonnaise), beurre d'anchois (anchovy butter), coulis (a warm tomato sauce, sauce aux noix (walnuts, garlic, and olive oil sauce), pistou (superb basil, garlic, olive oil,and cheese sauce), rouille (thick cayenne pepper and garlic sauce), basic vinaigrette (olive oil and very good red wine vinegar), fish dishes such as court-bouillon (fish stock), gigot de mer (fish baked with onion, eggplant, zucchini, peppers, and white wine), moules de pecheurs (steamed mussels with mayonnaise, mustard and served cold), sardines grillees (grilled fresh sardines with parsley and garlic), thon provencale (fresh red tuna cooked with vegetables and white wine).

Ms. Johnston also include recipes for boeuf mironton (boiled beef baked in vinegar and caper sauce), daube d'avignon (lamb, vegetable, and herb stew), estouffade (lamb and beef stew), pietsch (poche de veau farcie - breast of veal stuffed with vegetables and simmered in white wine), pot-au-feu provencale (boiled beef, lamb, and vegetables), poulet a la nicoise (chicken cooked with onion, tomato, olives , and white wine), roustissouns (pork sauteed with herbs and red wine vinegar), vegetables such as beignets de legumes (vegetable fritters), celeri paysanne (celery braised in white wine), courgettes rapees (grated zucchini sauteed in olive oil), farcis a la nicoise (lightly stuffed vegetables such as green peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, tomatoes, chopped beef, lamb, or ham, rice, garlic, parmesan cheese, etc., etc.), ratatouille nicoise (vegetable melange simmered with herbs), crespeou (tomato omelet), troucha (spinach omelet), pois gourmands a la paysanne (snow peas sauteed with lean salt pork and chives), tian d'artichauts (baked artichoke hearts).

Also included are pasta and grain dishes such as barba jouan (pastry filled with cheese,ham, rice, herbs, and pumpkin[!]), panisses (chickpea "french fries"), pates rouges et vertes (noodles with ham and herbs), polente aux champignons (corn meal mush with mushroom sauce), ravioli a la nicoise (beef and spinach ravioli), tout-nus [all-naked] (spinach, rice, and meat balls), festive dishes such as aioli monstre (rich variety of vegetables, fish, and meats served with a garlic mayonnaise), bouillabaisse [!] (superb fish and vegetable stew), desserts such as beignets de fruits (apple raisin fritter or doughnuts), cloche amandine (bell-shaped almond brittle), compote d'abricots, de peches, et de prunes (apricot-peach-plum compote cooked in lemon and orange juice), galette des rois (crown-shaped brioche with candied fruits), glace a la fleur d'orangers (orange blossom water ice cream), nougat blanc (honey, almond, and egg-white confection [candy]), petits biscuits aux noix (crumbly walnut cookies), poires au vin rouge (pears in red wine and lemon juice), tian au rhum (rum and milk custard), tourte aux noix et au miel (walnut and honey pie).

The witty and fun illustrations are by the inimitable Milton Glaser and Mireille Johnston includes a table of classic ingredients from the Nice district, a table of techniques and tools, and mail order sources.

This tremendous chef died in October of 2000 at the very early age of 65 and it is not well-known that she was a former aide to Senator Robert F. Kennedy. She is sorely missed but anybody who wants to savour the sights and smells of summer only has to refer to this cookbook and enjoy the memories. Very, very highly recommended and almost a necessity in any well-appointed kitchen. It superbly complements Julia Child's classic books on French cooking and is a joy to read and is admirably produced.

Fantastic cook book.......1998-10-02

I thought I'd given up on buying more cook books. I rarely follow a recipe exactly, anyway. But a friend of mine has this book and has introduced me to some of the most amazing tastes. Tonite we had pasta with walnut sauce...just walnuts ground with olive oil and garlic, I think...but MARVELOUS!

Most are faily simply recipes, but just delicious.

It's a cook book I can't be without.

Informative and well-organized - A great resource!.......2004-07-27

This is a great guide for those looking for industry specific guidance and direction, but not sure where to start (this would be a perfect read for an MBA student). Essentially, the author does all the research you need to start or continue a comprehensive job search and presents it in a concise fashion. For example, you will find charts of hedge funds broken down by selected strategy, lists of the top recruiting companies (broken down by city), compensation charts, and tips on how to navigate your way through your interviews. A really helpful resource!

Excellent Comprehensive Overview.......2004-07-25

I'm a recent MBA graduate student who had the opportunity of hearing Claude speak at Wharton severlal months ago. Claude created the largest hedge fund recruiting practise in the US and he uses that knowledge in this second edition of "Hedge Me."

Besides being an excellent guide to the hedge fund world in general,I found the book helpful in two important respects. First it has a list of all the major recruiting firms in the hedge fund arena, which I found invaluable. Secondly Claude sorts individual hedge funds by category, distinguishing between a long/short fund (like I'm interested in) and a global macro funds, distressed debt, and special situation funds. This allowed me to speak to recruiters and individual funds armed with more information then I've previously been able to find.

In my opinion this guide is useful to the novice (like myself) or the expereiced analyst hoping to make a lateral move. I highly recommend this book and believe its invaluable to anyone seriously considering a career in this field.

Helpful sample resumes and due diligence material.......2003-12-08

The report is very good at identifying free online resources to get at hedge fund holdings and PM information and strong sample resumes for various types of analyst and trader positions. Also good at preparing me for interview-type questions based on fund investment strategy.

Informative And Helpful.......2003-11-26

As a recent graduate of Harvard I used "Hedge Me" to prepre for a round of 3 interviews in NY. I eventually received 2 job offers and now work at a major fund located in mid-town.

This book allowed me to speak intelligently about the sector. While I had majored in economics, I had little practical understanding of the nuts and bolts functioning of a hedge fund.

From salaries, to trading techniques, to what a firm looks for in making hiring decesions, this easy-to read pamphlet made my interviewing expereince much easier. There's not another book that I know of that explains its subject in a more precise and clear fashion.

A clean, well-organized reference book.......2003-11-24

The report has a clean, simple and well-organized flow for someone trying to break into the hedge fund industry and was very useful, contains really good information on how to prepare for hedge fund interviews and what SEC, Bloomberg and online resources to access when researching particular hedge funds.

Book Description

There is a long-standing difference among public economists between those who think that collective choice must be formally acknowledged, and those who derive their policy recommendations from a social planning framework in which politics plays no role. The purpose of this book is to contribute to a meaningful dialogue between these two groups, in the belief that the future of both political economy and of normative public finance lies somewhere between the two approaches.

Some of the specific questions addressed in the book include: does public finance need political economy; should collective choice play a role in the standard of reference used in normative public finance; what is a `failure' in a non-market or policy process; and what have we learned about the theory and practice of public finance from three decades of empirical research on public choice. The book also provides a practitioner's view of the political economy of redistribution.

The distinguished list of authors, many of whom are pre-eminent in their fields, includes: Robin Boadway, Geoffrey Brennan, Albert Breton, Aníbal Cavaco Silva, Walter Hettich, Gebhard Kirchgässner, Dennis Mueller, William Niskanen, Hirofumi Shibata, Eugene Smolensky, Heinrich Ursprung, Frans van Winden, Stanley Winer and Donald Wittman.

The importance of political economy to any understanding of why public policy evolves as it does is now widely accepted by public finance scholars and practitioners. This book goes a step further by considering the role of collective choice in defining what constitutes `good' or `better' policy. It will be an essential companion for all scholars of public finance and political economy.

Book Description

The authors have carried out a detailed empirical examination of taxation policies in India and several other developing countries - including Spain, Singapore, The Philippines and Mexico against the background of the inability of governments to enforce income tax laws. They identify suitable reform policies to overcome these incentive and organizational problems, focusing in particular on the enforcement dimension.

Book Description

Property Tax Reform in Developing Countries provides a conceptual framework for property tax reform with the intention of making the most compelling argument possible to persuade the reader as to its validity. The text claims that a model for property tax reform in developing countries is derived from a theoretical distillation of empirical experience. The primary objective of this study is to establish, through logic, theory and observation: what constitutes a good property tax system, for whom, and under what conditions; why such a system works; and how inferior systems can be upgraded to approximate well-functioning systems. Property Tax Reform in Developing Countries develops its examination in three stages. First, a conceptual framework is presented for the formulation, implementation, and evaluation of property tax reform in developing countries. Second, attempts to reform property taxation in four developing countries are examined in detail. Finally, the results of the reform efforts described in the four case studies are evaluated and guidelines for reform are offered. The study concludes with specific recommendations for reforming property tax systems in developing countries, based on the conceptual framework and synthesizing lessons of the case studies.

Book Description

This volume presents the work of experts (in most cases the very advisers who designed and helped implement the reforms) on the tax reform efforts of a dozen developing nations—from the restructuring of the economy of postwar Japan to the 1986 reforms in Jamaica. Among the many lessons learned from these efforts are that tax reform is most successful when tax administration is a central (rather than peripheral) focus of reform efforts, and when tax reform is specifically directed toward economic rather than noneconomic objectives.
Other conclusions include the apparently mutually reinforcing nature of tax simplification and tax rate reduction, and the role of indirect tax reforms (such as the value-added tax) in successful reform undertakings.

Tax Reform in Developing Countries carefully examines the experience of eight developing countries that have undergone -- and in some instances are still undergoing -- significant and comprehensive tax reform. The countries are Bolivia, Colombia, Indonesia, Jamaica, Korea, Mexico, Morocco, and
Turkey. It draws on their experiences to find lessons learned and to see how they may be applied to other countries on the road to tax reform. Equal attention is given to the process of tax reform, how it is implemented, and the substance or results of reform efforts. Throughout, the focus is on the
practical rather than the theoretical aspects of tax reform.

Book Description

“Over the years Colombian tax officials have received the benefit of first-class advice of leading foreign scholars. In return, these scholars—and indeed everyone concerned with development policy—have gained a great deal both from the unusual willingness of Colombians to consider new ideas in detail and then, after full public discussion, drawing on the work of these experts to design a ‘made-in-Colombia’ solution.
“[The book’s] most important contribution, however, is undoubtedly with respect to consumption taxes. No one, anywhere, has thought through with such care just how the so-called ‘simplified alternative tax’ (essentially a direct personal consumption tax combined with a cash-flow corporate tax) might work in the real world. Since such taxes are increasingly being considered—if not adopted—all over the world, in developing and developed countries alike, for this reason alone this book should be high on the reading list of all those concerned with the design and implementation of efficient and equitable direct tax systems.”—From the Foreword by Richard M.

This study approaches the subject of tax reform from basic economic principles. The objectives are to develop guidelines for the design of tax policy; to show how the principles can structure systematic research into tax reform in terms of the consequences for households, producers and government; and finally, to combine the guidelines and applied research into a practical tax package for Pakistan, where tax reform has become an urgent priority. Professors Ahmad and Stern provide a coherent framework to show how principles can be formulated, applied research structured, and policies developed and appraised in a systematic manner. The careful application of the ideas presented here should lead to a real improvement in the development of policy and to further empirical and theoretical research.

A Positive and Uplifting Book!.......2003-12-30

This splendid book is exactly what is needed right now!

It's an antidote to the current corporate paradigm of greed and exploitation in which YOU, the manual worker, the office worker, the contractor, the shop assitant, whatever, are being openly exploited to line the pockets of the few? Wasn't it always so? Since the Industrial Revolution, yes. But not 'always', by any means! The way corporates over-work and under-pay their employees today, along with the way advertisers try and extract maximum cash from your pocket, and the way the banks and house developers keep property moving ever upwards, taking increasing amounts of your hard-earned on living costs, all come together to create the modern version of indentured slavery.

And it's not just you that's being exploited - it's the planet, too. Finite natural resources are being taken without any thought for future generations, and previously pristine environments are being despoiled for short-term gain. The whole house of cards is simply not sustainable.

In 'Authentic', Mr Crofts offers an alternative vision; one in which YOU follow your heart. YOU narrow the gap between who you are and what you do. YOU start to make active choices, rather than just going along with what everyone else is doing. He offers a route out of disfunctionality, out of slavery, and a way to recognise embedded patterns of out-dated behaviour and actively change them for something more useful, more heartfelt, more...Authentic!

If you think there's more to life than working 60 hours a week to pay bills and the mortgage and buy more stuff - you're right! If you want a helping hand to get out of this destructive pattern into a more peaceful, productive, happier place, 'Authentic' is it.

But be warned - reading the book is not enough! You have to put some of the ideas into practice, too, in order to set yourself truly free.
