Indiana Business Directory 2001-2002: The Ultimate Sales & Credit Tool (Indiana Business Directory)

Book Description

This is a totally revised and updated edition of a book published in 1994 under the title Israel Law and Business Guide. The changes in the Israeli political scene, both at home and internationally, have had a dramatic effect upon the Israeli economy, and have made it apparent that the scope of the original book should be expanded and its coverage of business law subjects widened. In addition, the majority of the material published in the first edition has been updated. The result is a completely new book entitled Israeli Business Law: An Essential Guide, which contains 37 new chapters and 26 chapters from the previous edition, of which 18 have been updated. It provides a comprehensive introduction and guide to Israeli business law and practice, including commercial law, financial law, taxation law, and other key issues relating to trade and business in and with Israel. A distinguished editorial team and nearly 60 contributors have participated in the writing of this book, which provides, in over 700 pages, an exhaustive and up-to-date guide to the legal and financial aspects of Israeli commerce and business.

Despite oyster sauce - an incredible cookbook.......2006-12-03

I have a sagging shelf of cookbooks, most of them vegan. This is the one cookbook I have other than my Betty Crocker (that has so many recipes fun to veganize) that includes mention of meat. Another reviewer gave this cookbook a bad rating due to the author's lack of clarification concerning oyster sauce (vegan versions are readily available at Asian food markets and elsewhere). I think this is a bad move on the reviewer's part. This omission is regrettable, but it in no way diminishes the fine job that the author does in doing what her job was: to come up with awesome recipes and provide readers with instructions on how to duplicate them.

My only complaint about the cookbook is that many of the recipes end up being pretty heavy on oil. I have taken to halving the oil recommendations in most recipes, replacing the remaining volume with water or another liquid. I find it makes the recipes much lighter, with very little loss in taste.

Overall, highly recommended.

vegetable cooking bible.......2006-11-29

These recipes solve the mystery of how to cook vegetables Chinese style.

In my opinion, acquiring all of the author's cookbooks first before buying the other English language Chinese cookbooks makes an important foundation to understanding what you eat in America and how the food is cooked at home. Then proceed to the other cookbooks and hopefully to eating the more elaborate levels of Chinese cooking. I didn't pick up the author's cookbooks until very recently and only after learning that the author is from Sun Tak. I wish I had bought her books long ago.

Full of Wonderful Culinary Gems.......2006-09-10

I bought this book years ago and only in the last two years took it down from my bookshelf and started experimenting. To my delight, I have uncovered all kinds of incredible gems that have become part of my regular dinner menus. In particular the chapter on vegetables has paid for itself many times over. We've perfected "Mushrooms with Broccoli" on page 91 and absolutely love it. The scallion oil and other seasoned oils add depth to the recipes, and the vegetable stock makes a huge difference. While it's true that oyster sauce is called for in some recipes, vegetarian oyster sauce is sold in many Chinese markets, so I don't think this is a serious issue for concern. However, it is true that one of the chapters is on "the occasional fish," which may not be useful to strict vegetarians. My husband raves about these recipes whenever I make them- and said my cooking (and these recipes) was better than that a Chinese restaurant. Granted, he's biased, but we love this book!

Not Vegetarian.......2006-05-28

This is a preliminary review, but I am writing it because I would want others to do the same for my information. This is not a vegetarian cookbook or a vegetarian cookbook with an addition of a sea life (non-vegetarian) section. The supposedly vegetarian recipes contain oyster sauce, so everything that contains this item is omnivorous, along with the sea life recipes. While these items are easily overcame by the experienced vegan cook by using vegan sauces and such, it is quite annoying that an author of a book doesn't know the definition of one of the words in the title. Also, a beginner cook or someone who doesn't have extra time in the kitchen will not want to make the effort of fixing these recipes to actually be vegetarian.

This is my preliminary review only, but since any recipe I make will be modified to be really vegetarian, I don't know that I can provide any further review of this cookbook.

good!.......2004-07-23

This is one of the better books written on vegetarian cookery (biased towards Southern Chinese cooking). There is a pretty good exposition of ingredients at the beginning of the book, and I was able to locate most at the Chinese market. Ms. Lo makes extensive use of flavored cooking oils that you make yourself. This could be a bit time consuming, but worth the extra flavor. Also a good idea is making her recipe for stock; good stock she explains is crucial for good chinese cooking, especially vegetarian cooking. There is also a section on fish, which might seem a bit out of place (fish is not in the same category as land dwelling animals in Chinese tradition). Some of the recipes seem a bit repetitive. The book does include the chinese name as well which might be handy for some of us. All in all a good book for vegetarians who want to inject a bit of Chinese flava into their diet.

How de Body? One Man's Terrifying Journey Through an African War

ASIN: 0802140483

Book Description

As a child Aminatta Forna witnessed the upheavals of postcolonial Africa, danger, flight, the bitterness of exile in Britain, and the terrible consequences of her dissident father's stand against tyranny. Mohamed Forna was a man of unimpeachable integrity and enchanting charisma. As Sierra Leone faced its future as a fledgling democracy, he was a new star in the political firmament, a man who had been one of the first black students to come to Britain after the war. He stole the heart of Aminatta's mother and returned with her to Sierra Leone. But as Aminatta Forna shows with compelling clarity, the old Africa was torn apart by new ways of Western parliamentary democracy, which gave birth only to dictatorships and corruption of hitherto undreamed-of magnitude. It was not long before Mohamed languished in jail as a prisoner of conscience, and worse was to follow. Aminatta's search for the truth that shaped both her childhood and the nation's destiny began among the country's elite and took her into the heart of rebel territory. The Devil that Danced on the Water is a book of pain and anger and sorrow, written with tremendous dignity and beautiful precision.

Customer Reviews:

I usually never take the time to review a book.......2007-05-12

This book is fabulous. It is fabulous because it is accurate, interesting, and well-written. I am just a little older than the author and grew-up in Sierra Leone during much of the period described. I recall the Siaka Stevens years as a teen, I vaguely recall the execution of her father. Interestingly, I read another book about the first year that I was there and in that book, there was a reference to that hanging. I am a nonfiction junkie and read mostly books on mathematics--my field, but Aminatta has a keen way of describing Sierra Leone and the interactions of the politics. I read this book very quickly, in a few days during the work week. I have also read her other novel. I must say that this memoir is the best, in my opinion. Compared to the memoir A Long Way Gone about the Sierra Leonian boy soldier, this book by Aminatta is at a much higher level. It holds a longer period of time over which the plot is developed leading up to that war. It is her search to understand and in that respect the reader is searching right along with her. Read it!

Beautifully & movingly written blend of memoir. journalism, history.......2005-08-15

Finding/discovering a vanished father. Untangling a terrible and terrifying, deeply saddening history of a place, personal and poltical, on which colonialism, broken promises, fear, racism, and inter-tribal rivalries and conflicts have all trod. What happens when ideals, hope, and education run up against such a history. The close-up, precise remains of a child's memory, feelings, and confusions overlaid with an adult daughter's detailed investigative and journalistic skills. All of these are part of this compulsively readable book, which tells the story of a family, a country (Sierra Leone), and a world torn apart and painstakingly, to whatever extent possible, reconstructed --- at least in the author's own hard-won understanding. I am a white American who happened on this book by accident. I love and respect memoirs where the author is transparent of heart and mind, especially in the context of a larger societal, political, or situational challenge. This book met these criteria with stunning precision. I could not put Aminatta Forna's courageous book down, and have been recommending it to everyone I know.

Compelling, but...........2004-10-15

It is a difficult topic to write about, that relationship between father and daughter. In this case, the narrative is compelling and intensely personal, so much so that it is difficult to get a sense of who Mohammed Forna actually was. Sierra Leone, contrary to its image in the media, was a complex society, and the whole relationship of the Creoles and the 'upline' people is at the very centre of the post colonial struggle. Ms. Forna treats very very lightly with that.

On the whole, even though she documents her hurts and slights growing up as a child of colour in the United Kingdom, for me, a child of Ghana and to a lesser extent, Sierra Leone in the same time frame as Ms. Forna, there is a sense that she had little or no idea of what was going on, apart from the hero worship of her father, which is , of course , understandable.

Through her prose, though, I am able to relive those times in Sierra Leone - who can forget Mile 91, Kissy Road, Connaught Hospital, Lumley Beach! The diamond smuggling which is at the very heart of the tragedy. It is easy to forget that no one in Sierra Leone, especially not the rural poor, is capable of making a bullet, let alone a gun. So who profits? And for what? That is at the very centre of the tragedy. The Tiny Rolands, with their footprints all over Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Botswana - they are the ones who do.

Gripping introduction to Sierra Leoneýs convoluted politics.......2003-10-21

As a gripping introduction to Sierra Leone's convoluted post-Independence politics, this book is unmatched.

Through the story of her own life, as the daughter of an influential and key political figure in newly independent Sierra Leone, we are led through the details of how Sierra Leone made its gradual descent from one of the most promising countries in West Africa, the place that used to be called "the Athens of Africa", to what is today considered euphemistically a "collapsed state". While one has heard of Foday Sankoh and the RUF, and one has an idea that diamonds are involved, Aminatta Forna takes us back to the very beginning of the process of decay. From the imprisonment of the victors in the 1967 elections, to the eventual rise to power of the rightful victor of that election, Siaka Stephens, and his consolidation of Sierra Leone into a one-party state completely under his own control.

The book is divided into two parts. In part one, we read about Aminatta's first ten years, as she moved between Scotland, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, according to the political situation in Sierra Leone, and the state of her parents' marriage. Consumed by politics, and not fully accepted by Forna's very traditional Sierra Leonean family, Mohamed Forna and his Scottish wife Maureen quickly grew apart. By the time Aminatta was eight, she had lived in six different homes, in three different countries. Part one ends when Mohamed Forna is taken away by state security, imprisoned, and his children never see him again.

Part two begins some 25 years later, in the year 2000, when Aminatta has started to research the death of her father. As a child she was told he died of stomach ulcers, which she always knew was not the truth. She returns from England to war-torn Sierra Leone where she seeks out everyone involved in her father's arrest, trial, and execution. She interviews scores of people, reads the complete trial transcript, and uses her own memories of the day he was taken away to try to piece together what really happened. What she finds is a blatant perversion of justice. Bribed and tortured witnesses, manufactured evidence, a jury of government stooges, and a judge obviously in the pockets of the state, together find her father guilty of treason and condemn him to death.

The narrator, Aminatta Forna herself, who writes in the first person, is not completely trustworthy, however. Particularly in the beginning of the book, she makes so many polemical statements about the nature of states' corruption, in the midst of which she states as fact a contested interpretation of history-who really killed Patrice Lumumba-that one is thenceforth wary of her claims.

Coming to the book with very little knowledge of Sierra Leonean history, and again recognizing her bias towards her father's goodness, his achievements, after a while, become somewhat incredulous. We are repeatedly told how brilliant Mohamed Forna was. At medical school in Scotland he was top of his class. The clinic he opened in a rural Sierra Leonean town was the model of Sierra Leonean healthcare. He won his parliamentary seat by the largest margin ever, he had the most support of all the politicians, as finance minister his budget was the most sensible that Sierra Leone had ever seen, and Sierra Leone enjoyed a fiscal surplus for the first time while he was minister. Sometimes it seems a bit too good to be true. Then she lets us know that he does have a weakness. Mohamed Forna's only shortcoming, according to his daughter's account, was with women. He carried on an extra-marital affair openly in front of his children, as he betrayed their stepmother who had spent the previous four years of her own life looking after his own children in England, while he was in prison. Yet the incidental treatment that Aminatta Forna gives this aspect of her father's life leaves the reader not fully understanding why Forna has included this in her account, as she does not use it to help us to understand her father and his choices.

However, I must confess that I couldn't put the book down once I had started reading it. Even amongst my quibbles about style and some of the content, I was compelled to keep turning the pages until I had finished, in a virtual non-stop two day reading marathon. Indeed these drawbacks that I cite, by the end of the book, are either forgotten or forgiven, as the account is so detailed and well researched, and too, moving.

The point is that once democracy, and democratic institutions and processes get corrupted, it tends to be a slippery slope, with a very unpleasant end, that exacts its tolls not only on countries, but on the lives and relationships of individuals. Aminatta Forna's book is a pithy and personal account of exactly how this happens.

Making sense of the senseless.......2003-08-14

From a certain point of view Africa seems like such an enigma - the forgotten continent. Through an amazing memoir--detective story this book brings light and understanding to a so much of what is going on there - as well as being an exceptional read. The story of the author's father (a political dissident) and his fate at the hands of a corrupt regime is meticulously researched and compelling told. No stone is left unturned, no detail ommitted. For all people everywhere it is a fascinating study of corruption and what it does.

Book Description

In this delightful memoir, O'Meara recounts a ten-year-old boy's year-season by season-at the turn of the century in Cloquet, a small town in northern Minnesota. A talented historian/novelist, he vividly evokes the sights and sounds, joys and sorrows of family life set against the background of the lumbering industry when white pine was still king.

BEST GUIDE TO BRAINSTORMING.......2001-11-21

Having read a variety of books on analytical techniques and problem solving, this one is the best and the most serious. Whereas other authors use the publication to advertise their consulting practice or write memoirs, this one presents the structured problem solving techniques or "Brainstorming" of its day in 1981. In addition to presenting a great variety of techniques still used today at the various stages of the organizational problem solving process, the book also evaluates their advantages and disadvantages of each technique based on available experience and efficacy studies. As most serious books tend to be, this one is very dry, and not easy toread, but it presents a gold mine of information, along with some discussion of how to select the most appropriate techniques for the situation for fact finding and problem solving work in committees.

Book Description

This book is suitable for students with little or no programming background. The complete book can easily be covered in a one-semester or one-quarter introductory course on problem solving. The book's main emphasis is problem solving; the C programming language is used as the vehicle for problem solving. To this end, a sufficient subset of the C language is presented in the book. However the book does not attempt to cover the complete C spectrum but stresses only the features essential to problem solving in the first course in computing. Therefore, this book is not a comprehensive C reference book but a textbook for students who want to learn problem solving using computers, structured procedural programming, and the standard C language.

...THERE ARE BETTER C BOOKS.......2001-12-29

I actually had the author of this book as a professor some time ago. The thing about college is, professors don't have to have a degree in teaching, and thus many of them, although good in their field, are not good teachers. This man cannot teach, and his lack of teaching skills are reflected in this book. We were forced to buy this awful book at my university, and forced to read from it. Even my professor who taught C said at the beginning of the class that he hated this book and wished we used a real one. I later found out that all the other professors felt the same. Truth be told, I'm a computer book junkie. I've got hundreds of books all around me, but this one I DO NOT have right now, because when the semester was over, I actually threw this book away. I could have returned it to the book store and gotton a little bit of money back, but when I thought that some poor sap might be deluded into thinking that this would be a good book for the beginner, I decided to destroy it instead.

I have a feeling that this book didn't do so well, so in order to make money off of it, he pulled some strings at my university to get them to use his book instead of a real one. So we all had to pay an incredibly inflated price for a real piece of crap.

... There are plenty of other books here on Amazon that are very good, like Learning C in 21 Days, and if you really want to learn the language, try The C Programming Language by Kernighan, one of the guys who wrote C!

Great beginners guide to C.......2001-04-16

This book employs the proper method for tteaching a programmin language. First it goes over what the code means then it implenments the code in small sections showing proper form and variations.

This method is executed well and goes far more into teaching the C language then a C quickstart guide available at your local megabookstore which starts you codingithout properly expalining what the heck your doing. Not a good way to learn

This is an excellent introductory textbook on C.

That is why I like this book and use it as the textbook in my class.
