Superb cookbook of a great flavorful cuisine.......2006-03-20

This cookbook by Ghillie Basan shows Moroccan cuisine at its best: flavorful dishes which are quite easy to prepare. If you have never tried Moroccan food and like bold flavors, you should really give this cookbook a try. If you have been on holiday in Morocco and you are craving for some of the food you had over there, you will be pleasantly surprised with the quality of these recipes.

Recipes are divided in 6 chapters:

-- mezze & soups (with a recipe for cinnamon-scented chickpea and lentil soup with fennel and honey buns)
-- street food (among other recipes the bus-station kefta with egg and tomato)
-- couscous & tagines (I love this chapter, but will just mention four highlights: casablancan couscous with roasted summer vegetables, couscous with lamb cutlets, harissa and fennel, tagine of spiced kefta with lemon and spices, and (the obligatory but oh so good) tagine of lamb with crunchy country salad (add some almond slivers to make it even better!)
-- roasts, grills & pan-fried dishes (the butternut squash with caramelized pink shallots is amazing, as is the fiery chicken wings with blood oranges)
-- salads & side dishes (lentil salad with red onion and garlic)
-- sweets, pastries & drinks (poached pears in scented honey syrup).

On the opposite side of each recipe there's a beautiful fullpage photo of the dish itself, making browsing the book a mouthwatering experience.

To conclude, I highly recommend this book for anyone: the recipes are relatively easy, and the results stunning.

(Some info on me, to put the review in perspective: I love to cook and would describe my skill level as intermediate. I went to Morocco because I love the food in this particular cookbook --- and although the food in Morocco was great, the food I make at home using the recipes in this book is often even better.)

Book Description

The business surveys of the ifo Institute (short for "Information und Forschung") are internationally renowned. Every month close to 7,000 enterprises are questioned on their short-term planning and their appraisals of the actual and future business situation. The confidence indicator frequently referred to as the Ifo Business Climate Index is derived from the responses to this Ifo Business Survey. While the Index attracts a lot of attention by practitioners (especially financial market analysts), the use and empirical exploitation of this and other components of Ifo business surveys is - amongst academics - still relatively scarce. The present volume, based on a conference entitled "The Academic Use of Ifo Survey Data", gives examples of timely research questions which can be addressed by qualitative survey data like the monthly Ifo Business Survey. It shows that this type of real-time data can be very informative when it comes to forecasting real economic activity or exploring monetary policy transmission.

Good Ideas and illustrations.......2005-01-09

This was an excellent book, and I definitely recommend it. There are wonderful colored illustrations, and interesting, stylish beaded projects for all levels and ages. The only complaint I have about this book is that it requires some special wire-working tools for some of the projects, like a wire jig.

Book Description

Jesse Ventura burst into national consciousness—and late-night punch lines—when the former professional wrestler was unexpectedly elected governor of Minnesota in 1998. An overnight political sensation whose only previous relevant experience was a brief period as mayor of a Minneapolis suburb, Ventura became a lightning rod for the media, combining the bravado of a Navy SEAL, the showmanship of a movie actor, and the blunt speech and bluff humor of a talk-radio host with a surprising passion for public policy and legislative reform.

In this revealing chronicle of Jesse Ventura's campaign, election, and time in office, political reporter Tom Hauser tells us what he saw as one of the "media jackals" covering the governor for local television station KSTP. In a saga full of drama, hi-jinks, and controversy, Hauser offers the inside story of the hubbub surrounding Ventura—from his triumphal tour of the late-night talk shows upon his election, to his outspoken and outrageous revelations in Playboy, to his stints as referee for the World Wrestling Federation and commentator for the failed XFL, to his ongoing battles with the state legislature. Hauser also provides insight into Ventura's popularity, character, and motivations—his impatience with conventional wisdom, his distrust of traditional politics, and his combative relationship with the media.

Though to many Ventura seemed to come out of nowhere, Hauser has been following him since the day he filed to run for governor, when he was the underdog in a race against two well-established career politicians, backed by major parties. Hauser offers the only detailed account available of Ventura's amazing rise and reign, providing an evenhanded look at a political story that will leave readers feeling that truth really is stranger than fiction.

Tons of anecdotes and accesible.......2003-01-09

Even if you don't vote, hate wrestling and couldn't care less if Minnesota was part of the United States or not, you'd probably dig this book. It's an engaging read, following Ventura's phenomenal capture of the highest political office in his state from BEFORE day one, and it's filled with anecdotes, lively characters and flashes of endearing humanity. Entertaining enough for even conspiracy theorists. If Ventura didn't exist, the media would have to invent him, he's so engaging, which makes the book soar.

Tom, I hope you keep track of these things! Thought the book was interesting.

Book Description

As the 21st century nears, networked computing is becoming the essence of computing itself. Alternative phrases abound--collaborative work, computer supported cooperative work, simultaneous/concurrent engineering, multimedia real-time interactive work--but the neatest, shortest, and simplest catch-all term was coined in 1978: groupware. The two visionaries who coined the term, Peter and Trudy Johnson-Lenz, are among the 42 expert contributors to Groupware in the 21st Century. Other contributors to the volume include Microsoft's Bill Gates, professors Jay Nunamaker and Tom Malone, and management author Robert Heller. As with most technological sea-changes, the groupware revolution is having its impact first on business, where enhanced interaction between an organization's members, strategic allies, suppliers, and customers can help ensure that it remains dynamic and competitive. Anyone who wants to know about the future of information technology and group processes will want to read this book which brings perspective and clarity to these new technologies.
