This book is an essential a textbook for college students. It provides all the basic materials about the futures market. But I feel it doesn't cover too much about the problems of real world trading. After trading for sometimes, I know that there are many tricks using by the professional traders. They are really important. They can give you edges over other traders. But they are seldom covered in college textbooks. So you still need to read other books or learn from other people before you put the money into this risky game.

This is clearly one of the best investment books written. The title belies the breadth of valuable market knowledge the book offers students of the markets.

If you are going to trades futures, read this book, make a few trades, then read this book again. It is a cold, hard look at the reality of trading. While just about every other book on futures trading assumes you are a gullible idiot, this one exposes the difficulty of the pursuit. Its depth and breadth are incomparable.

I found this book to be extremely well written. Although I have not yet been to London, the directions and maps seem to be superb. In addition to the basic ghost "tour," the author also treats the reader to nice little stops along the tours -- like pubs and eateries. Estimated tour times are also given so one can plan their day.
The actual book itself is very well made. Higher quality than most paperbacks. It should easily hold up to heavy use while touring the streets of London.

HOWEVER, I was greatly disappointed with the book because very little detail is given to the actual hauntings and stories for which the tours are based. I found this book bland and boring because it lacks the details (historical or eye-witness accounts) that help draw and keep the reader's attention. Often a chapter consists of more directions than actual ghost stories.
I have read dozens, perhaps hundreds, of books on ghosts and hauntings for which I have created a baseline used to judge other ghosts and haunting books. I had to force myself to finish reading this book. A first for me when it comes to a true-story ghost book.
I would give the book 5 stars for directions, maps, and touring information. However, the actual stories of hauntings are so short and lack-luster that I dropped the overall rating to 2 stars.

I really enjoyed reading this book and following the routes. Richard Jones is a compelling storyteller and his eyes for direction and detail is excellent. I purchased the book prior to my recent vacation in London and read it cover to cover on the plane over. The first route I followed was the Jack the Ripper Walk and I found it spinechilling. Whitechapel seems as eerie and crime-ridden now as it did back in 1888. I took Jones's suggestion and purchased the A-Z of jack the Ripper before setting out and so was well prepared with the additional information required. I found the Tower of London walk a superbly laid out route around the old fortress. It kept me well away from the crowds and in some of the towers I was totally alone (at least I hope I was.)The text captured perfectly the ambience of each section of the tower's towers.

Yes a lot of the stories are short, but this they are crisply written, are extremely well told and cram a lot of detail into the space. And with 25 walks plus a detailed index crammed into its 160 pages it offers extremely good value for money. The book is first and foremost an "on the hoof guide" and is not a detailed investigation into ghosts and hauntings. It is fun and informative and the directions are very detailed but also, and this wasn't the case with several other guides I had purchased, accurate. Jones's directions across Hampstead Heath for example, were extremely easy to follow. In short this is a boook that will appeal both to the armchair walker and the avid wanderer.

EXCELLENT book. Very well written and moves right along. Fantastic, simple maps that look easy to follow--going to give them the test next time I'm in London. Even without being in London, just reading the text was extremely enjoyable. I've read TONS of ghost books; and he's found haunts of London I didn't even know existed; along with the "old standard" ghosts of Tower of London. This book is INDISPENSIBLE if you're visiting London--or if you just need a good scare!

This work can be utilized by experienced field personnel. Lacks definitions of many terms and techniques for identifications, referred to in the dichotomous key. Common names for the family and genus are rarely used. However, the photos and illustrations provided are of very good quality. The guide provides the necessary detail required for general field use of mammal skulls.

This is an outstanding book for field identification of mammal skulls. I highly reccommend this book for any student of mammology or any one interested in Zoology

Black Sheep and Rotten Apple, maybe. Idiot? - No. This intelligent autobiography of Richard Papazian ("Papa") is so full of interesting and sometimes bizarre stories, I often forgot I was reading non-fiction. Papa's story is both personal and poignant and is conveyed with the exact right amount of comic relief. The story begins with his near-death (and life changing) experience at the age of 15, follows his career in the rock and roll promotions industry in the 70's and then on to the peaceful life of a fine artist and dedicated husband/father. His positive outlook on life I found to be infectious. We can only hope that this author will keep writing... and painting... and living life to the fullest.

Excelent, that topic really excelent to rehabilitation offender in prison.

A well-presented book; and most interesting details of the artist's life an times. Slight disappointment in the plates - not all in colour and not full-page size. It is however, an extensive look at the artist and his work, I believe worth owning if you are interested in the genre. Not so interested myself in the sculpture side of his work and the small black and white photos of same do not show from all angles, but in general a good purchase.

This book is about two boys and how they did not want to help with the class gift. Everyone in the class was to give one doller for the gift. They finally decided to give a doller for the gift so they wuold not be left out. I liked this book and I think you wuold to.

But If Indiana Jones puts his trust on you to choose the way, what could possibly go wrong? Enough said, if you enjoy "choose your own adventure" books you will definitely love this one.
