The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2003
Edward B. Fiske Manufacturer: Sourcebooks ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1570719578 |
Book Description
For 20 years, this leading guide to more than 300 colleges and universities has been an indispensable source of information for college-bound students and their parents. Hip and straightforward, The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2003 reliably describes the academic climates and the social and extra-curricular scenes at the "best and most interesting" schools in the United States and Canada. Fiske's unique insight into what's not to be missed and what's to be avoided at each university reveals the academic strengths, the role of athletics, and the social highlights at each school. Professor-student interaction, college setting and scholarships are also hot topics.Compiled from surveys of thousands of students and administrators, The Fiske Guide to Colleges 2003 is thoroughly updated annually. The resulting resource is the best guide to colleges and universities available; USA Today has called it the "most readable and informative" of all college guides.
Included are:
--a self-quiz to help you decide what really matters to you in a college and what kind of college is right for you
--vital application information--where to get one, which schools have the longest and most difficult applications, long-lead deadlines, etc.
--exclusive lists of the strongest majors and departments at each college as well as famous--and infamous--classes
--candid descriptions of quality of life, campus setting, social atmosphere and level of academic intensity from actual students--"party school" or "monastery"? Also included is a special section highlighting the 43 public & private Best Buy schools--colleges that provide the best education for your money.

Good, but not excellent.......2003-04-03
As a consumer, I want to know what's good and bad about a college. I want a college guide that is like a Consumer's Report, that will test, compare and examine colleges critically. Though there are many college guides on the market, few examine colleges with a critical eye. The only good ones in my opinion are:
1) Choosing the right college - 5 stars
2) Colleges that change lives - 4 stars
3) Cool colleges - 5 stars
4) Best 345 colleges - 4.5 stars
5) The Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College - 4 stars
Since Fiske says something good about every college in this book, it takes a real detective work to find out what's bad about each college. I wish he points out the flaws in each college in a brief summary. For Harvard, the following would be a good summary:
1) Very serious grade inflation
2) Lots of classes taught by TAs
3) Professors are as unapproachable as stars in the sky
4) Large classes for freshman and sophomore years
This book is not as good as his other book, "The Fiske Guide to Getting into the Right College," which contains a chapter called "The one hour college finder." This chapter has a brief paragraph on the best colleges. Each paragraph is right on the mark. For example, concerning Swartmore, it says "Pound for pound, the most intellectual school in the nation..." With regards to Carleton, "...the best liberal arts college in Midwest. Predominantly liberal..."
So, my advice is to get his other book. Not this one.

A review for the Nevada Corporation Handbook.......2005-12-01
why pick Nevada.......2001-06-02
I read this book in one sitting - 7 hours. I just could not bring it down. This book answered for me three important questions, 1) Why should I incorporate? 2) Why should I choose Nevada? and 3) How do I incorporate in Nevada?
The depth of the answers provided by Rowley is assuring. It appears to be complete and authoritative. With this knowledge I am now in a better position to do my own homework!
This book appears to deliver what it promised. I think I am going to read it again.
I like Rowley's style of writing: it is simple and straight to the point -- a real time saver! How I wish that Rowley will write one more book -- something like entitled, "Taking Care of Your Nevada Corporation."

From Slaves to Squatters: Plantation Labor & Agriculture in Zanzibar & Coastal Kenya, 1890-1925 (Classics of African Studies Series)
Frederick Cooper Manufacturer: Heinemann ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0435074202 |
Book Description
Cooper's subtle and seminal work examines the critical decades of transition from a slave-based plantation system in East Africa to a colonial economy based on wage labor. While British officials hoped to create an efficient and productive class of agrarian workers, the original Arab and Swahili landlords and slaveowners tried to redefine their old mechanisms of domination in order to maintain them. Yet the ex-slaves themselves had a quite different agenda: to acquire access to land on their own terms, and to shape their own working conditions. The processes of interaction and struggle among these three groups shaped the outlines of social and economic development along the Swahili coast through the remainder of the twentieth century. Cooper's comparative analysis is penetrating, and his book retains a central position in historical scholarship.
