This is not a book for the philosopher timid of heart. Blessed John Duns Scotus is one of the greatest minds that the Franciscan school of thought has produced. He has inspired so much of the work of the Franciscan philosophers and theologians; although it must be said that the Franciscans are very free thinkers. The book contains both selections from the metaphysical texts of Scotus and a commentary by William Frank and Allan Wolter, who have brilliantly unwoven the tightly knit thought of this logical mastermind. Scotus can prove a great challenge for the sheer depth of his work and also because of the modern mind's distance from the time, place, and style within which Scotus wrote. These two commentators provide the avid philosopher ample tools for the successful comprehension of the Scotistic vision of metaphysics, including his highly contraversial theory of univocity (Thomists, please read this with an open mind).

the book gives the fundamentals of risk management. You can grasp the idea of duration, convexity and other commonly used terms. The book especially tells how you will use the terms, not to derive them. I recommend the book, it is indeed useful

Confused over jargons and buzzwords such as CRM, MRO, B2B, B2E, e-Procurement? Loss in conversations about doing business over the Internet? Need a jump-start in understanding what e-Business and e-Commerce is all about? Then look no further. "E-Business Essentials" by Frank J Derfler may be the book you are looking for.

This book is probably the first of its kind that stresses on the importance of relationships in e-Business - relationships between your company and its customers, suppliers and employees. These relationships are the cornerstone to the three major building blocks of e-Business, Business to Consumer, Business to Business and Business to Employees. Each of these building blocks is discussed in details in its own section, substantiated with interesting real world case studies.

This book does not attempt to be a 'how-to' manual. There are little or no technical design or architecture diagrams and definitely no code examples. Its main emphasis is on the 'whys' and the 'whats' of e-Business. Buzzwords and important concepts are conspicuously marked and defined in the margins of pages that discuss them.

Although written primarily for those with little or no exposure to the subject, it is by no means a 'Dummies' book. While it is written in layman's language and a style that is easy to understand, there are enough details to challenge the intellect. It will definitely lay a good foundation in the understanding of the fundamentals. Even those who have been in e-Business for a while will find this book refreshing and well organized.

This is an excellent book for those who are beginning to form an interest in raptors. It goes over their nesting habits, hatching and growth, flight, hunting and feeding. Also has genus and basic anatomy (Skeleton, musculature, feathers, talons, etc.) information, as well as a short overview of falconry. Well layed out, informative, and the photographs are excellent.

All I could say is that this book changed my knowledge of Frank Lloyd Wright.
