    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.

    3 out of 5 stars Good, but not excellent.......2003-04-03

    I give it 3 stars because it will take at least two weeks of repeated reading of this book to be able to compare the colleges mentioned in this book. With Princeton Review's "Best 345 colleges", it takes much less time.

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2003-03-04

    For my own purposes, I found this guide more helpful than the Princeton Review guide. It hasunbiased profiles of colleges to help in the decision making. I found the Fiske guide a little more all-encompassing, because it includes a lot of student quotes and weaves it all together for a nice synopsis. I found that Princeton Review kind of just packed their guide with random student quotes. Initially I had the same slight frustration with the dollar-sign system of tuition costs, but you might as well go online and ask for a guide book for each specific school, because they always include tuition figures and they will definitely be precise and up to date.

    5 out of 5 stars Good..........2003-03-02

    If you are looking for a guidebook to colleges, this is the one you should get. DO NOT buy the Princeton Review's guide because all that information is available for free on their website (review.com). It's useful for beginning and narrowing down the college search. I wish that it would give actual tuition prices and I think it would be better to give some more admissions tips, but it's good for what it is.

    4 out of 5 stars good, but could be better.......2003-01-11

    I bought both the Fiske Guide and The Princeton Review (Best 345 Colleges). Both are good, but the Princeton guide is laid out more logically, with rating stars for campus life, adademics, financial facts and selectivity AND with actual costs in dollars. The Princeton guide also told what percentage of the entering class applied early decision. The Fiske Guide has more details about classes and individual standout professors, but I found the financial ratings to be annoying, with only dollars signs and no actual numbers. Who needs to keep referring back to some chart in front to figure out the cost? I would still recommend the Fiske Guide though, as it is fairly comprehensive. In addition, it has an very good guide in the beginning which discusses which colleges to look at if you are enamored of a particular field - like architecture, dance, engineering, etc. To be fair to yourself in the search, buying the Fiske and the Princeton book would be a good bet!

    5 out of 5 stars The best guide book from an obsessive compulsive searcher.......2002-09-11

    Since the age 14, I have looked at Peterson's and CollegeBoard and all the websites and guidebooks in between, and yet it was not until I opened this great book that i was satisfied. I did not want the stats anymore, I did not want the tuition costs, NO.. i wanted the experience of the school from the student's perspectives presented in a logical, unbiased manner without spending hundreds of dollars on plane tickets and car rentals for endless campus visits--- we have a winner! Point one- just look at all the people who have purchased the book and taken time to write a review (i who never writes reviews)-- also we are mostly high school students who would rather spend the money on a night at the movies than buy a book, but they chose the book and it is worth it. Fiske clearly describes various aspects of the schools through quotes tediousley collected from student surveys. The phrase- "straight from the horses mouth" couldn't be more appropriate here. My routine as i approach my senior year is: think about college, start stressing, stress some more, whip out the ol' Fiske guide to review my top choice schools, and then be able to breath again....
    The book is good for both a lost student or anxious parent. It includes a range of colleges for all types of people, and if you are just lost and read the book cover to cover-- it is truly the best starting place. You can start to figure out what you want in a college and which colleges have it. I would reccommend strlongly reading the introduction explaining his ratings, and i hope you buy this book because wherever you are in the college process- It is the book for you.

      4 out of 5 stars A review for the Nevada Corporation Handbook.......2005-12-01

      This is a great book! It not only teaches you the benefits of incorporating in NV, it also provides detailed info on different kinds of companies and tax saving strategies.

      Please note, the latest edition (as of this writing) is the 9th Edition. I accidently bought the older 8th Edition. You can check the most current edition at the publisher's web site:

      5 out of 5 stars why pick Nevada.......2001-06-02

      How I wish, I found this book first! I could have saved myself a lot of time and money.

      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."

      5 out of 5 stars Completely professional.......1999-09-06

      A book on a subject like this is a situation where you'd really rather look over the various books in a bookstore rather than buy online. But after looking over all the books I could find online, I decided to buy this one. I am very pleased with it, with one quibble: the price. The content is good, the book is nicely printed and bound, but even so ... ouch! $65.95?! At any rate, the reasons I bit the bullet and bought it are: (1) I got the feeling that a lot of books on this subject are shill come-ons for Nevada "incorporation advisors"--I did searches on the net for some of the titles, and they came up on pages of such outfits, obviously written by the people behind the businesses, who tend not to have any formal legal training; the Rowley book is not a shill job at all. (2) Rowley has put a good chunk of his book online where you can read it for free; I'd put the URL here, but Amazon would delete it; nevertheless, if you search for it and read the content, it gives you a good preview of the book (although the juicy stuff, like the sample articles of incorporation are not online). (3) About a third of the book consists of reference material like the Nevada Revised Statutes, which are available online at the Secretary of State's site (where you can search for words in your browser), but it's nice to have a printed copy. With this book and a resident agent (look online at the Secretary of State's site for a complete list), you can do the incorporation yourself.

      5 out of 5 stars Great Book full of VERY useful and valuable information!.......1999-08-11

      I have bought several other books on incorporating and have often been disappointed to find out that what promised to be informative was mostly a glorified sales piece for some company or seminar speaker - lots of hype but little information you can use yourself without their help. This book was different! Filled with all the info I need to setup and maintain Nevada Corporations (has info on LLC's and Wyoming corps too!) Best book on the subject I have ever seen!

      5 out of 5 stars This is the definitive work on Nevada corporations.......1999-08-03

      I can't believe how much information this book has. I wondered why it has almost twice as many pages as other books on the subject, now I know.

      5 out of 5 stars A down to earth book on attaining effective operations.......2001-04-03

      The book was a nice break from the usual technical process improvement books.I particulary liked the real world application oriented style that focused on a few simple principles and the application to complex problems. Since applications to my area, rocket science, are usually outside the norm, really appreciated the presentation, the stories and examples that made it easy to adapt the principles to my particular cases. Recommend that any engineer read this book. PC

      5 out of 5 stars It Is An Importnat Read.......2000-06-13

      This is an intriguing book. Optimize Your Operation is no quick "once over" on operations. It begins with the basic principles needed to understand and improve processes. Abbott's approach to the principles is not ordinary and his explanation of the details is not ordinary. He certainly is moving us up a notch in the way we think about processes and the way we manage them. It is not the same old same old. Yet his language and illustrations are easy to follow. His thoughts take us from how we get ourselves into and out of "Quality Hells" all the way to how a better understanding of strategic and tactical decision-making will change our organizations. I think it is an important read for those who are faced with changing their operations to meet today's tough markets.

      4 out of 5 stars Improving Operations - Takes time.......2000-05-31

      Optimize Your Operations provides managers a road map to improvement. Many times you only receive theories and not real improvement road maps that allow you to make real improvements to your daily operations. By following the various improvement methodologies discussed in the book a line manager can make great strides in meeting customer expectations. Many managers loose site of the customer and Mr. Abbott gives many valuable pointers on how to meet and understand customer expectations. The "Walk About" gives managers a valuable tool to monitor their daily operation and a workable method for recognizing problems and provides methods for improving their processes.

                            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.

                                Loved it! It's really tough to be a new artist these days, you know? Like, getting people to talk about you and buy you...it's like you have to be known to get known.

                                I used Kohl and Levine's Guerilla PR: wired to help me get some buzz, you know? Fantastic stuff! Really cheap to do this stuff!

                                If you are in PR, this is a must buy book. Just the chapter on free stuff and other resources is worth hundreds of dollars. I am buying copies for all my staff and making my PR students buy it as well. They will thank me (but Susan Kohl deserves the kudos).--Henry DeVries, President, Henry DeVries/Communications

                                I have been a marketing professional for over 20 years in all types of industries including internet marketing, consulting, and product marketing. I found Susan's book to be very helpful to me. It allowed me to update my thinking and in some cases validate it. Ms. Kohl certainly did her homework and brought to light only the most important points. I have read and re-read her book many times and have actually used many of her well thought out tips. My hat is off to this professional. Learning is a constant process and with books like this we can all keep up on current trends, traps to avoid, and new things to think about and try.
