A Compelling Book! Everyone must read!.......2005-07-12
Truthfully, Willard Mies has finally hatched his golden egg. No ugly duckling was born forth from it, however, but rather a shining and glorious phoenix.
If you've ever wondered aloud about the statistics and trivia of the pulp and paper industry of North America in 1999, you'd be a fool to pass up this book. And if you haven't (and shame on you if that is the case), this book will instantly serve to inform and delight you.

Book Description
Baumer and Poindexter’s, Legal Environment of Business in the Information Age, 1e, is the legal environment text for the 21st century. In the next few years, many of the laws that comprise the legal environment of business will change, and the pace of the change is likely to be quick. Because of the growth of information technology, many legal issues have emerged and are occupying center stage. Baumer/Poindexter targets future managers who will be dealing with information technology in some way, and reinforces the latest trends in business education by providing a similar experience with law. Legal Environment of Business in the Information Age places an emphasis on the manner in which regulatory law deals with changes in technology, and devotes significantly more attention to E-Commerce contract law and legal protection of intellectual property.

Excellent Product.......2007-01-04
I am currently taking a Doctoral level course on the Legal Implications of Management. The textbook that is assigned for the course is very poor. This book is excellent. It explains many of the concepts that are mentioned in the course text but in a more clear understandable way. Well worth the price.
Book Description
'Conjures insights into the history and character of those who keep our economy vital and growing. Illuminating.' -Warren Bennis Entrepreneurs, even more than inventors, are essential to American business. While inventors produce ideas, entrepreneurs get things done, build the markets, make ideas reality. But what creative talents do the legendary American entrepreneurs share, and what can you learn from them about business success? Using lively character sketches and company stories, University of Rhode Island professor Maury Klein analyzes how innovators from Andrew Carnegie to Bill Gates triumphed over perennial challenges in planning and strategy, production, operations, staffing, and sales-and transformed entire industries. Comparing the retailing acumen of J.C. Penney and Wal-Mart's Sam Walton, the organizational ingenuity of Standard Oil's John D. Rockefeller and Intel's Robert Noyce, the imaginative marketing of General Motors' Alfred Sloan and McDonald's Ray Kroc, Klein reveals the art and archetype of launching an enterprise.

Pretty good, but not great.......2004-06-17
As one reviewer pointed out, he should have focused on each man seperatly! It was hard to remember who was who. It is still an interesting read though. Try Masters of Enterprise. It is a more thorough look at most of the same men, and also has some different entrepreneurs like Mary Kay (yes, the cosmetics Mary Kay.)
Dry and Boring.......2004-01-10
The author does go into great depth with his research, but the writing style is academic, dry, and unengaging.
It was difficult for me to get a clear profile of the entrepreneurs profiled in the book because instead of focusing on one at a time, Klein takes one topic (i.e. - childhood), and does a brief synopsis on every single person, before tackling another topic and doing it all over again.
The author also seems to waver between trying to establish a relationship, a common thread, between the profiled entrepreneurs, only to state that there is not set pattern or point out abberations.
A frustrating read.
Interesting Compilation.......2003-11-12
Few books of this sort are around, so you must give credit to Klein for doing his research. Interesting stories and analyses of two dozen or so entrepreneurs and their various personality traits. Perhaps could be more concise sometimes, but nonetheless good that he went into detail because it was interesting to compare this elite group of business leaders for each of the areas he discusses.

Product Description
Those who begin Trading Forex, Futures or Stocks face a hidden obstacle that keeps 9 out of 10 people from achieving success. Trading can be wonderfully profitable and enjoyable. For most, however, it is a stressful and costly activity because they are unaware of the subtle mental and emotional trap that holds them back. Very few overcome this without losing tens of thousands of dollars in the process. For most, trading stays in the "Loss" column. The Subtle Trap of Trading shows you get past this hidden obstacle, how to break free from the trap and how to get on the right track if you've already started but are struggling to show a consistent profit.
Customer Reviews:
A bad summary of other books.......2007-10-18
The book offers no meaningful insight because it is a mediocre summary of some of the simple ideas found in most other trading books. The 150 pages are written in large font and spacing, and are of limited or no value to anyone having any trading experience. The author describes himself as "a degreed Engineer, Certified Quality Engineer and Futures trading enthusiast." Author does not appear qualified to offer trading advice.
Gives my trading structure.......2007-06-07
After buying the subtle trap I realized I was falling in two key areas.
One was the inability to know where my emotions were costing me money.
It helped me to set up a process where by I can not escape those bad habits from being exposed should I fall into them again. For example, after every trade I go through a check list which tells me if any of the bad habits are re-occuring, and I can tell you in less than 1 month this method eliminated a habit that cost me tens of thousands of dollars over several years.
Two, was not understanding the power of setting objectives.
An example was when I entered in a two week trading competition where instead of setting a goal to win, I just set a goal to achieve a certain ROI. In order to do this though, I had to know my win to loss ratio of my system, and the number of opportunities I would get in the two weeks.
Armed with this I knew what I had to do to reach my objective, and I did reach my objectives. The issue here is that unless there's some sort of plan and way to implement this plan, your method is flawed. The subtle trap is great for making all of that so easy to understand.
I will say this, if you've been trading for a while now with no success, and then you read the subtle trap and it makes no difference what so ever to your trading - you need to find another profession.
Awesome Book for any serious trader.......2006-09-22
I've spent the last year just working on my trading psychology, the true "Holy Grail" of trading, and I've heard pieces of the wisdom in this book echoed in many places. What Brian has achieved in this easy-to-read guide is a distillation of how to identify, and focus on correcting, the chinks in one's emotional armor.
The concise nature of his approach makes it much easier to really 'get it' with regard to how, as trader's, our emotions can cause us to stack the deck against ourselves. The exercises help to zero in on those issues that throw up blocks to effective trading.
Don't just read it and put it on the shelf. This book is great for a regular 'tune-up' to improve trading performance and consistency in one tight package.
The Subtle Trap of Trading, by Brian McAboy.......2006-09-15
Brian's book is an ingenious work. It illuminates the path one needs to achieve success in the world of financial trading and it is sorely needed. The staggering amount of money and time I spent becoming a successful trader could have been easily reduced by 2/3 had I followed the outline Brian presents. Its a gift. Dan K, Kerry, Ireland
See the trap. Avoid the trap........2006-09-12
It doesn't matter whether you are new to trading or have been at it for years. The Subtle Trap of Trading is a must read. Author Brian McAboy goes to the very root of trading in terms of both its appeal and the pitfalls that lure creates.
Many people in the markets are essentially self-taught to a great degree. That means they were never told about certain stumbling blocks in a personal way - things which can seriously trip up one's trading performance. In this book, McAboy outlines why you can easily find yourself doing things as a trader you would never have thought you'd do - things seemingly completely out of character. This is the stuff that can doom you to failure.
Importantly, though, the author doesn't just tell you what the trap is. He explains in clear terms how you can avoid it and provides exercises to help you along the way. For that reason, The Subtle Trap of Trading should be near the top of your trading reading list.

Good information..........2000-12-19
... helpful book, definitely a good investment. If you're not sure how everything works, this will help explain it for you. I bought this and two others like it, and this is easily the better of the three.
VERY helpful book........2000-12-19
Like a lot of people, I was looking for a 'get-rich-quick' scheme and figured that trading options was the way to go. This book helped put things in perspective for me -- there are a lot of intracacies involved in option trading, and these can all be dangerous pitfalls if you don't know what to look for. The author is a seasoned veteran who helps make sense of it all.
This book is pathetic!.......1999-05-04
This book is an informational pamphlet that unbelievably someone paid to have bound with a hardcover. The book is only 23 pages, with about 3-4 pages of photos and is not worth a red cent. There are absolutely no investment strategies included, contrary to the title. I returned my copy after I read the first three pages. Caveat Emptor!

Customer Reviews:
Oil and honor is an exhaustive and fascinating history..........1999-08-25
Oil and honor is an exhaustive and fascinating history, although it falls short of spectacularly engaging. Petzinger does an excellent job of recounting the facts and context of this chapter of financial history. Ultimately, the book is constrained by the subject -- the minutiae of merger document negotiation and court room hagling pale in comparison to the book's earlier section on the forces and personalities behind the disputed transaction. Nevertheless, the book is an excellent addition to one's financial history library.
Brian Wayne Wells, Esquire, reviews "Oil and Honor".......1998-02-07
Thomas Petzinger's first book, Oil and Honor (1987), relates the same story that won him a Pulitzer Prize nomiation in 1985 as he covered the story of the buy out Getty Oil by Texaco for the Wall Street Journal.
Reading this book one can see why he received the nomination. Petzinger's writing style draws the reader in just like a good novel. It is a cliche to say that the reader will not want to put the book down. However, in this case, that cliche entirely fits. It is a great high drama.

inspirational.......2006-04-18
Reading Lisa's story helps one get your head out of the clouds and get a grip. This was an excellent way for me to recognize that my problems are miniscule and insignificant compared to others. I was both humbled and inspired by her book. Can't find any more work from Lisa.
Inspirational.......2004-12-13
My Fight to Survive, An Inspirational True Story by Lisa L. Valvano is truly an emotional work of art. This autobiography traces the remarkable life of the author, who suffered a tragic childhood accident that took away many of her physical abilities but left her with a strong spirit and an even stronger sense of faith. Her story is one of enormous pain and suffering overcome by powerful determination to achieve what seems to be the impossible. This well-written narrative welcomes the reader into the author's mind and heart. Ms. Valvano sends a message of hope to anyone who has ever faced any kind of adversity. The story emphasizes how precious life is and how important it is to make the best out of every moment. Rather than conveying a sense of despair, Ms. Valvano succeeds in her quest to enlighten and inspire the reader. I highly recommend this remarkable story.
