This CD Rom was supposed to supplement my Statistics textbook. It was not worth the money. Every time I tried to use it on my computer, it would crash and I would have to re-install. I wasted more time trying to get this program to work that I did actually studying.

It never ceases to amaze me how academics like Marer will dare to take a pile of dead statistics and edit them into texts which libraries feel obliged to snatch up, due to their well-considered titles. This is yet another opus in this tradition. Marer and his co-author tell us absolutely nothing new about management -- it seems that Marer is an economist and never managed anything in his life, in Europe or elsewhere -- and very little about the region the duo are allegedly producing a spendy book about. This book is a total waste of the serious scholar's or casual book-buyer's money. If you want to learn something about management in Eastern and Central Europe, track down the web sites of the English-language newspapers and business periodicals for Budapest, Bucharest, Warsaw, or wherever else you need to learn how to do business. Don't waste your time with this drab and intellectually hollow compilation of stale ideas and data.

I like Paul. He is deeply thoughtful, and very well-versed in the areas of Madhyamaka.
The 5 articles written here are quite important to academics, and the fifth essay has caused a lot of controversy.
So why 1 star?
For reasons known only to Paul, he has decided to approach the Bodhicaryavatara as a philosophical work, whereas if we read Chapter 1, verses 2-3 of the book, the author (Santideva) makes it quite clear that it is a soteriological work, not a philosophical one.
This of course leads to major difficulties in Paul's approach.
He also likes to use the word 'problem' rather a lot, and then fails to show any problem. It is true that there are many differing (and sometimes contradictory) approaches to the interpretation of he Bodhicaryavatara, but this has never been recognised as a problem by anyone but Paul. (I am immediately referring to essay four, concerning the discussion over the dream death of a dream son).
Paul's mistake of approaching the Bodhicaryavatara from a philosophical stance, rather than a soteriological one is most highlighted by the approach taken to a couple of verses (the focus of the fifth essay), where he takes Santideva to task on solely philosophical grounds. It looks like Paul was going through a major ontological crisis at the time that he wrote this last work. Paul decides to avoid almost all later Buddhist hermeneutics concerning these verses in this essay. Early on he seems to assert that Madhyamaka promotes rationalism, which Paul well knows is just not true. My gravest criticism however is that Paul offers only negativity, without offering either a useful interpretation or alternative verses that he would feel serve the purposes of Santideva's intent better. If you cannot replace something with another thing that better serves it's purpose, keep quiet.
(If you don't understand words like ontology, soteriology or hermeneutics, don't buy this book without a dictionary beside you!)

If any twentieth century book deserves the monniker "Epoch-changing," Blanshard's 1949 certainly does. Although it is a classic of anti-Catholic bigotry, American Freedom is distinguished from other screeds by an extensive set of footnotes and better than average research.

Blanshard is a master of the political spin. It is clear that he is, like many WASPs, terrified by the expanding Catholic minorities in the U.S.

As Mike Jones has documented in John Cardinal Krol and the Cultural Revolution, the Blanshard book helped stimulate a coordinated effort to nip Catholic power. First, an effort began to break up the Catholic neighborhoods in the major Eastern cities, thus diluting their power base in the legislatures. Second, the foundations funded research into a "Catholic contraceptive," which became the birth-control pill.

The book tries to look objective, but after fifty years even the most strident anti-Catholic will admit that the language and presentation are offensive. It is ironic that a nation that ended WWII with such animosity toward anti-Semitism continues to promote anti-Catholicism.

This volume is typical of Cheesman and many other LDS apologists' books: 1)counting scattered minor 'hits' while ignoring overwhelming obvious 'misses.' 2)by preaching to the converted Cheesman can convienietly overlook standard scholarly procedure. there's no complete bibliography, and the bulk of the book's premise is based on tautological ('circular') logic.

lds members will doubtless get a faith-promoting 'burning in their bosom' after reading this, but others will find it sloppy, incomplete and unconvincing.

Having expected a solid approach to spiritual direction I was frightened to read of the continual overlap of significant clinical issues 'treated' in direction. This book could be useful for a trained professional Christian counselor, but it does a serious disservice to anyone seeking to learn about spiritual direction. The boundary issues alone would relegate this book to a class on lawsuits in the ministry! Using this book as a resource for both information and practice on spiritual direction does a great disservice to the many trained directors who recognize and maintain the boundaries between clinical work (treatment) and direction.

Bad Harvest? condemns the international timber trade and advocates a new strategy for the sustainable management of the world's forests. It is, therefore, of relevance to environmental and development economists, foresters and timber traders alike.

Bad Harvest? attempts to debunk the accepted view that slash-and-burn cultivation is the major cause of global deforestation. It argues that the timber trade is the primary threat to the world's forests and examines the role that the timber trade has played in global deforestation. However, many countries-and not just those in the Third World-clear vast tracts of forest to make way for agricultural food production. While global demand for wood is increasing, there are plainly other factors at work.

Bad Harvest? is just another addition to the body of alarmist literature churned out by environmental NGOs. Alarmist tactics, unfortunately, drive consumers away from wood, one of the most environmentally-friendly products available, to substitutes such as aluminium, plastic, glass, iron or steel. In their production, these substitutes require more energy than wood, and more carbon dioxide is emitted into the atmosphere, thus contributing to global warming. It would be lamentable if this book unwittingly revives the boycott of wood, which in recent years has led to a partial boycott of tropical timber imports in a number of OECD countries. This has had the negative economic consequences of devaluing wood, and accelerating the conversion of forests to other land use in tropical countries. It is vital that in trying to solve the problem of the world's forests, the authors do not inadvertently contribute to the creation of a whole new set of economic and social problems.

I have something you do not, a signed first edition of this book. Unfortunately, the book turned out to be such a dull, bland "text book" that the book was relegated to the 10 cents a pound book sale. Ok, if you pick this book up you are looking to learn something, be taught something about Wall Street and the capital markets, read a discussion on what the problems are with M & A activity, higher PE ratios etc, not the most exciting but interesting. You absolutely cannot do that with this book - it is just so dull that I wonder how the author and editor got through it. Any valuable insight is lost to the reader because they have to keep adjusting the toothpicks holding their eyes open. I would look somewhere else.

I was disappointed in this book. SuperTab isn't really tab - it's just chord diagrams, with no help in actually playing the music. If you are just looking for chords for strumming, or are just starting out, this is an OK choice. Just OK.
