After reading "Investment Facts of Life," Idiscovered that "Dow Jones and the Industrials" was not arock band. The book is an excellent primer for students, and for parents who wish to stimulate an early interest in the stock market for their children. "'Facts of Life" thoroughly explains the facets of the stock market and investing in a straightforward manner without irrelevant "fluff." The book is filled with valuable information for readers of all ages and investment experience in a conversational style and tone that is down-to-earth. "Investment Facts of Life" covers a broad view of the investment world. For example, the author emphasizes why reading is a lost art that can be rediscovered, the importance of market psychology, Wall Street's "Doublespeak," and why pessimism is an "unbearable" The second chapter asks the question, "Why should I study the stock market?" I pondered on this question. After reading the book, I came to the simple conclusion; the stock market affects my life, along with the fact that it is important to the economic system. The book offers actual client cases in which the clients think they can invest better or know more about investing than an investment advisor. The author utilizes the use of fictitious characters such as "I.M. Losing Money," "Wild Bill," and "Ray & Hemma Rhoid" to portray his real-life client cases. Included in the book is a Stock Selection Worksheet actually used by the author in his money management firm. This worksheet enables him to focus on the many variables that he considers when choosing suitable stocks to invest in. The worksheet is a useful aid in picking stocks. Also, the amusing illustrations simplify the subject material of each chapter. The most important aspect of the book is the conversational style and the feeling of being in a one-on-one conversation with the author. I learned about the stock market and its facets through a person whose expertise and real-life experiences made it interesting and relevant to my life. NOTE: The author was recognized in 1987 by "Money" magazine as one of the top stockbrokers in the U.S., and he owns his own private money management firm.

"Involved Fathering'' works on several levels. It is an academic study that's easy for ordinary parents to read because the writing is to-the-point. This original research shows that involved fathers change for the better as a result of the time they spend with their children. Everyone knows parenting has an effect on children, and now, thanks to Rob Palkovitz, we know parenting also has an effect on parents. I enjoyed reading how a truly diverse group of individual fathers view their parenting experiences.

At first I wondered how an entire book could be written about iPhoto--this one is packed with useful information. I had no idea how much can be done with this application. I own a number of Missing Manuals, and they're all very good.

This book gives an excellent overview of the movements and battles of the Irish Brigade during the War between the States. If you are interested in Civil War and/or the Irish in America, you will find this book interesting.

In Ireland, more than most places, history is not a distant story but a living presence in the lives of the people.
That history, from Celtic origins to the mid-1990's, is engagingly explored by the authors, who have not only provided the expected political history but also have included the mythic and literary elements which are central to the understanding of the people. Special attention is given to the American connection, which has loomed large in Irish affairs - (there are now more Irish-Americans than indigenous Irish).
Well written, with illustrations, reading list, and index, this is an excellent introduction to the complexities of the Irish experience.

Island Victory: The Battle Of Kwajalein Atoll by Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall (1900-1977) is a rare primary historical source, written by at-the-time Lieutenant Colonel S. L. A. Marshall at the time of the deadly Pacific fight in World War II. Marshall was a veteran of WW I who would later serve in Korea and Vietnam and become a brigadier general. When the Seventh Infantry Division battled the Japanese across Kwajalein Atoll in February 1944, Marshall was given the official task of creating a written record of the battle. In order to be as accurate as possible, he brought front-line soldiers to a group interview and taped their conversations in order to get as clear an idea as possible. Written accounts of war simply do not get any closer to the actions and feelings of those were there. Island Victory is a highly recommended, "must-read" book for those who study eye-witness WW II accounts, and a core title contribution to World War II studies academic reference collections.
