Written from a European focus. That means still useful and inspirational to a U.S. inquirer, but might leave out info needed by U.S. citizen in terms of availability of certain opportunities.

5 out of 5 stars A truly inspiring book.......2004-06-28

We have the second edition of this book, and it has been an inspiration. My daughter is taking a "gap year" before college and found a program through the book. So far our contact with the organization Venture Co has been professional and impressive. I strongly recommend this book to anybody contemplating or planning a year off. Every student should take a pause before college and this will guide you in how to do it. It even has fundraising ideas.

      This book was very useful in helping me decide whether to start a business and go out on my own. The worksheets helped me to define myself and my aspirations. Very easy to understand and follow. A lot of helpful information in setting up a business the right way the first time.

      I read this book in my leisure in the desert and every chapter, every experience, every word made sense to me. I have started a number of small business's and only wish this manual was in my hands when I started. Give this to any friend who says to you,
      "I'm thinking of starting my own home business." They'll love you for life. Jim Misko, Anchorage, AK

      This book was right on target with its user-friendly guidance and advice. It gave me hope for a simpler way of living and working. It coached me every step of the way toward creating my own one-person business. Now I'm reading it again as I strive to increase my business, become profitable, yet maintain independence in my professional life and freedom in my personal life. This book's workbook format, checklists, and no frills advice made me feel like I had a professional career coach right by my side. It is the best business investment I've made yet.

      4 out of 5 stars healthy AND tasty - what a concept.......2000-04-01

      lots of great, simple recipes are included, with nutritional info for each. the honey-dijon chicken is our favorite; the recipes use regular ingredients in novel ways so one doesn't miss the texture added by fats. i hope the publisher re-issues this - we need more cookbooks like this.

      5 out of 5 stars The BEST!.......1999-06-03

      I would concur with the review above. Most low-fat cookbooks leave much to be desired -- unless of course you have a penchant for dog food. This one has wonderful recipes that are easy to prepare and, in some cases, nice enough for company. We especially like the Bombay Chicken, the Mexican chicken soup, and the Spanish rice.

      5 out of 5 stars THE Healthy Eating Cookbook to buy.......1999-03-06

      This is a TERRIFIC book! Not only are the recipes easy and quick to prepare, but they actually taste good! In addition, the ingredients are every day items that you can find at your grocery store...and they don't cost an arm and a leg. I own quite a few cookbooks - this one is my favorite.

      5 out of 5 stars Recipes great.......1999-01-24

      I bought this book last year and my wife took it to heart. The recipes give you a guide to very fine tasting food at very low calorie intake. When we followed this book for dinner we both lost 1/2 pound per day and stayed with it. Then we got lazy and went back to our old ways. Now back to the book. Now, this is realy good food. The meals will fill you up and you would think that you went to a very expensive restaurant. You must shop for the cooking items and spices, but the meals are easy to make. Recommended prep time and cooking times are very accurate. And of course you can make some adjustments by subtituting items here and there.

      This is a good reading for someone with no Futures & Options knowledge. I find it quite useful how the author clearly defines various swaps namely-- Currency, Interest Rates and Energy. However, this book would not cover newer Derivs stuff i.e. Credit Derivatives (though it provides a simple snapshot of CDS and TRS). I commend the author for not taking the GEEK approach.

      4 out of 5 stars Basic and thorough understanding on Derivatives.......2001-07-06

      You may seldom locate a book telling you one of the most practical aspect in recent regime of financial accountng - booking the derivatives. Nevertheless, it spent a few paragraphs together with some examples showing you the booking of three major types of derivatives in the financial market. Other topics also illustrate comprehensively the functioning of the derivatives as well as accompanied with various examples. Had it not been for the limited pages in explaining the booking methodology, it would have been the best derivatives related book that I have met before.

        Book Description

        Gene Walden is a master of summarizing volumes of objective data to determine “the best” in a crowded field of investment possibilities. For the fourth time, he turns his attention to helping investors identify the best mutual funds out of more than 8,500 possibilities.

        Following his rigorous and proven model based on stringent criteria, Walden objectively rates the best mutual funds to own. Each fund receives an in-depth profile, ratings based on performance, consistency, and fees/ services/ management, a fund overview, and more.

        The 100 Best Mutual Funds includes nearly every type of fund-blue chip, small stock, growth and income, sector, global, bond funds and more. Walden also includes a no-nonsense overview of investing in mutual funds and insights from 20 of the nation's top portfolio managers. The author includes rankings divided into types of funds as well as an alphabetic listing.

        3 out of 5 stars Seems obvious that Walden used Investors FastTrack.......2004-03-13

        The book is kinda of a dump of data and conclusions that the FastTrack people originated years ago. Skip the book and go to the source.

        1 out of 5 stars How can the author include so many load funds?.......1999-08-28

        I can't understand how a book that claims to offer/judge the best mutual funds in America can include any non-speciality load funds in the group. The author lists many equity funds with large loads and returns that are less than many no load funds he didn't list. Given the fact that there are so many no load funds with outstanding performance it just does not make any sense to include load funds in the book.

        1 out of 5 stars maybe good, but..........1999-06-12

        This book's title should really read "the 100 best (mostly loaded) mutual funds to own in america". I would not recommend it if you are building your portfolio with no-load mutual funds. Kirk Kazanjian's book would be a good alternative.

        4 out of 5 stars Very informitive.......1998-08-04

        As a new investor this book was extremely helpful for me. This book is easy to follow and gives the information needed to compare funds. 2 of the 3 funds I invested in were recommended by this book.

          Book Description

          Cross-border mergers and acquisitions are an imperative part of the accelerated economic globalization of our time. Cross-border transaction volume now accounts for almost one-third of global M&A activity and this number will only increase as business world-wide continues to expand. The complex legal issues to be handled in such transactions encompass the coordination of different concepts of corporate governance and capital market regulations in the laws involved, as mirrored by the intense debate on M&A law making within the European Union, and for example Germany. Lawyers engaged in the M&A practice will inevitably be confronted with cross-border transactions and will have to appropriately counsel their clients in the variable aspects of the law. Cross-Border Mergers and Acquisitions and the Law, a book based on an international conference held by the Law Centre for European and International Cooperation (R.I.Z.) in cooperation with the Centre of Commercial Law Studies, the Asian Institute of International Financial Law, and the SMU Institute of International Banking and Finance, provides a comprehensive exploration of the legal implications of a cross-border merger or acquisition. Applying a comparative approach, the compilation of articles by professors, practitioners and bankers provides thorough information on topics including: + Business Combination Agreements; + Securities Regulation and Stock Exchange Listing Requirements; + Tax Considerations; + International M&As and International Accounting Standards; + Financial Techniques and Legal Considerations in International Mergers and Hostile Take-Overs; + Antitrust Laws in the United States and Europe and their Extraterritorial Reach; + Bank Mergers and Bank Supervisory Law. In addition to these topics, case studies analyzing the Daimler/Chrysler Merger and the British Petroleum/Amoco Merger have been included to illustrate the impact that different structures can have on the success of a business combination. Overall, this one source provides anyone engaged in this field with the background information necessary to competently handle a cross-border merger or acquisition.

                  International trainer and consultant Carl Zaiss says too many of us approach the various key relationships we develop throughout our lives, be they at work or at home, with a mindset that actually hinders our chances for success. In True Partnership he advances the notion that we can better realize our goals by positively redefining the way we see, and act toward, everyone with whom we become associated. Utilizing principles adopted from the new quantum model in physics, Zaiss proposes a similarly interrelated behavioral framework for completely refashioning how we initially engage and later associate with all of those involved--eventually moving us far beyond the "shallow and simplistic" reality prevalent in most of such unions today. The bulk of the book delves further into the four tenets that support his fresh method for relating to others: connecting "as integral parts of a system," communicating "through our speaking and our listening," expanding "access to different perceptions about every situation," and observing "through the lens of our own personal history." Ultimately, as Zaiss suggests, this "paradigm-altering approach" to changing the quality of our relationships could very well open "the door to new opportunities" that we may not now even know exist. --Howard Rothman

                  Book Description

                  The main reason people don't accomplish more at work and at home is that they don't focus on what matters: the quality of their relationships. In this book, an international business consultant discusses four beliefs that keep people from building productive and satisfying relationships: seeing oneself as separate and autonomous, feeling connected only through power and control, having an either/or, right/wrong mentality, and perceiving the world as fixed and predetermined. True Partnership offers a proven and effective method for improving relationships by reassessing these limiting beliefs.

                  5 out of 5 stars Get Out Of That "Drift!".......2002-05-21

                  Carl Zaiss makes the bold statement in his new book that "there are things we can do to build a stronger relationship no matter what the other person does." In this fantastic book, the author contrasts "The Drift," his term for traditional ways of thinking and relating to other people, with "True Partnership," in which efforts are focused on enhancing the relationship itself. If things aren't going your way at work or at home because of "those other people in your life, who won't do what they should do" then take heart - this is a very encouraging book that shows you how to stop trying to change other people (and yourself) and instead focus on changing the relationships themselves. Techniques include connecting with others by realizing the interdependence of us all on each other; communicating with intent to constantly improve the quality of communications; expanding from an "either/or" mentality to a "both/and" orientation; and observing not from one's initial "gut feeling" point of view but trying out different points of view to see if a new one helps resolve an old conflict. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it for those looking for a new communications, team building, or conflict management tool.

                  4 out of 5 stars Inspiring & Practical--what more could you ask?.......2002-03-26

                  Carl is an inspired writer *and* a good writer. If you want to read something that shows you the way AND inspires you to go there, this is it. Get the book!

                  5 out of 5 stars True Partnership.......2002-03-16

                  Don't shy away from this book because you feel "partnership" has been overused. This is a refreshing look at the state of our relationships. "True Partnership" provides a powerful and practical roadmap for transforming personal and business relationships. The "In the Drift" vs "In True Partnership" tables are a concise yet revealing look at common situations and the benefits of dealing with those situations from the partnership perspective. Read this book and follow the principles. Challenging relationships will improve, good relationships will be great.

                  5 out of 5 stars Change, Partenrships and Transformation.......2002-03-14

                  Those of us in the change and transition business are vocal, loud and some would say, obnoxious advocates for recognizing the human side and impact of change. Too often our words fall on deaf ears...with "True Partnerships" we finally have a text that deals with NEW principles for relating to others during, before and after change. We finally have a text that deals with the potential destructiveness of autonomy, power, scarcity mentality and victimhood. Instead this book awakens a call to action for relationships that produce extraordinary results by shifting our philosophy to one of connection, communication, expansion and creator/observer. It is powerful, beyond words and is guaranteed to cause you to examine your own approach of "drift" versus "true partnership." It can shake you up and transform your relationships at work, at home and everywhere inbetween. Read it and begin relating differently today.

                  5 out of 5 stars True Partnership: Revolutionary Thinking About Relating to.......2002-03-13

                  Great relationships, whether in our business or our personal lives, take courage, compassion, wisdom, honesty and skill.

                  Carl's book provides the skills - and encourages the other qualities!

                  Using TRUE PARTNERSHIP principles as a basis, I have negotiated through several challenging conflicts, and have referenced Carl's book in seminars I've presented on Conflict Management, Negotiation and Leadership.

                  TRUE PARTNERSHIP should be in every library! This book truly has been an investment in my future.

                        My First Life is an autobiography of life in a small, rural village in western New York in the '30's and '40's, and a lucid account of the culture of small town life during the worst years of the depression and WWII. Day provides interesting tales of his family, neighbors, old men of the village, and his pals, with whom he explored everything from the village haunts to his sexual coming-of-age. A compelling social history of the times and of the ways in which they shaped his character—for good and not so good.

                              Shunka Wakan, A Horse For My Spirit is a one-of-a-kind sharing of an older novice horseperson's first year as a wild horse adopter. It is part training journal, part love story(between a woman and her first horse), and part facts about what a mustang is, what you can do with one, and other things learned during that year.

                              I had met the author at a wild mustang sale so I was able to connect a face with the experiences she talked about
                              in the book which made it more entertaining for me. The concerns for her safety and her opinions were similar to how I would think and feel since I'm in the over 40 age category. There were a few typos in the book but those too just made the book more identifiable. I don't know how editing is done but regardless, I could relate, learn and laugh at the contents. Well done!

                              5 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!!.......2006-06-02

                              I cannot express how much fun I had reading this book! It's a journal of the authors life experiences gentling and training a wonderful mustang. The entries in the book make me feel like I was part of the experience. The fact that the entries were not edited made it even more real for me. Anyone even entertaining the idea of adopting a mustang should read this book. I have purchased a couple of copies for gifts to just the right potential adoptors. Thank you for sharing your experiences Carol!!

                              This truly is a great story....Shows just how deeply man(or woman in this case) and mustangs can and do bond...As a owner of many breeds of horses, including 4 Mustangs, I appreciate her dispelling the myth that Mustangs are not trainable or of any value! And a big high five for her enthusiasm...I for one appreciate the way it reads (the few grammatical mistakes and typos)....It makes the journaling even more realistic! I truly believe if more people interested in owning horses read this, all of them would adopt mustangs and experience the magic bonds that happen with only mustangs.

                              ISBN: 1591138639, $16.95, 204 pp, 2006

                              This book is C.S. Jennings's personal journal of a dream come true-her adoption of a BLM Mustang. She states at the beginning of the journal what it was written with no thought of publication and that she chose to do very little editing. She say that this is not a how-to book but just a simple sharing of her experiences during the first year of working with Shunka Wakan.

                              It is, however, a very informative book as she shares her training methods which evolved from several sources. C.S. Jennings was 59 when she made the decision to adopt and work with a wild Mustang. She has published the book with the hope that it may inspire others to make their dreams come true.

                              If I were to make one constructive criticism of the book, my suggestion would be to have if proofread for typos, spelling and grammar errors. If it's worth publishing for others to read, it's worth taking the time; and I think the information in this book is worth making such an effort.

                              If you like horses and are interested in training wild ones, you'll probably enjoy this book.

                              C.S. Jennings lives with her husband, grandson, two cats, some chickens, and two BLM Mustangs on a farm in Southern Illinois. She has written mysteries, and this is her first nonfiction book.
