I do not believe I will ever make any of the dishes in this book. Full of offbeat and hard to obtain ingredients. Perhaps suitable for a professional chef who has access to such items as fresh squid-ink pasta or pickle masala. Real food? Simple? Nope.

this is one of the VERY few cookbooks i have ever used in which the recipes can be made, in most cases, "by the book". most cookbooks do not give complete instructions, and most recipes if made exactly according to the book, seem to "need" something. This one hits everything right on the mark with bright, clean flavors, clear instructions, easy-to-procure ingredients (no peeky toe crab! ) and GOOD for your health components that actually taste wonderful. I was a professional cook for twenty years, and in most cases I just use cookbooks as a source for menu ideas, not actual recipes. This is one book I actually cook from. Thanks, Daniel. MORE!

This cookbook is a must.

Mr. Linder obviously knows nothing about dating. Is anyoneallowed to write a book these days? Brace yourself, fool!!!

At times I felt embarrassed by how honest Mr. Linder was.
I wish I read this book when I was a teenager first entering the world of dating. (I'm now 50!)
It is a useful easy read that every household (who values authentic communication) should not be without.

I found this book very helpful to me in giving me some fresh creative ideas on how to go about the dating process and what you are really looking for in a mate. The first contact is what is really important and the first date conversation, and this author really helps with all of that and the fears first encountered. I highly recommend this book, as I said, it really helped me.

The book twisted a lot of facts regarding Empress Wu. Although a novel, as it depicts a historical figure, a more balanced account should have been given. For example, it is not clear that she killed her own daughter and her mother neither wielded such strong influence nor lived so long.

Shorter, and perhaps not as good as their "Court Of The Lion", I still enjoyed this novel and the duo's style of writing.

This book is set in the glorious T'ang Dynasty in seventh century China. The skeleton of its plot is a murder mystery -- the intelligent, if not perfect, magistrate Dee must find the perpetraters of a series of gruesome murders which lead him into the darker side of that alien Indian religion Buddhism. But that's only the skeleton of a firm fleshed, soft-skinned, fragrant smelling beauty of a novel. There's the force of nature named Wu and her even more forceful mother who bend and work the government of China into their own private plaything. There's lust and intrigue, murder and worse in this long and deliciously written novel. If you're looking for a good, week-long, lock-the-door, take-the-phone-off-the-hook, curl-up-on-the-couch-and- eat-potato-chips kind of novel, this is it.

I bought this book...its only for 3.1...and the first demo i tried to install was noted as expired...sup with that???

Where as I would prefer to put it at about 4.95, 5 stars is close enough. The thing that I most like about this book, which I am still in the middle of reading, is the obvious class and "beauty" of the author's writing; simply true class. To put it into a little more detail, this man (Daniel Burnstein) seems to display the impressiveness of a well educated, academically structured man, and yet has the cutting edge ability to reach out to people of all types by writing in plain, talented english. I have read other books and what I often find is that I have to go back over sections of the book(s) to try to retain the information. In Burnstein's book it was a totally different experience -- even after reading any one chapter, I was easily able to reassemble the information from that chapter in my head without the book in my presence.. I would recommend this book to people that want to do business the right way. Burnstein is right in saying that his book is good for business managers and owners that want quality knowledge and education by doing it on their own time.

This is superb...ignore my previous commment...amazon.com wont delete it...

The future of software is decision-support software--going beyond clerical software, such as MS Project.

I am so impressed with this book and software that I am going to spend time promoting it. Get it and let me know what you think.

Don't buy this book unless you like fiction. And bad fiction at that. This book contains absolutely no analysis (like all of this author's writings).

Easterbrook and Fischel collected a series of law review articles into the classic text on the contractarian theory of corporate law. During the 1980s, E&F were two of the corporate law academy's enfants terribles. Their articles were provocative, yet insightful. They raised a lot of hackles, yet did ground-breaking work. Both E&F have gone on to bigger and better things. Easterbrook is now a judge on the US 7th Circuit. Fischel is dean of the UChicago law school. "The Economic Structure ..." stands as their legacy for corporate law.

Like other contractarians, E&F model the firm not as an entity, but as an aggregate of various inputs acting together to produce goods or services. Employees provide labor. Creditors provide debt capital. Shareholders initially provide equity capital and subsequently bear the risk of losses and monitor the performance of management. Management monitors the performance of employees and coordinates the activities of all the firm's inputs. The firm is simply a legal fiction representing the complex set of contractual relationships between these inputs. In other words, the firm is not a thing, but rather a nexus or web of explicit and implicit contracts establishing rights and obligations among the various inputs making up the firm.

The nexus of contracts model has important implications for a range of corporate law topics, the most obvious of which is the debate over the proper role of mandatory legal rules. As a positive matter, contractarians contend that corporate law in fact is generally comprised of default rules, from which the parties to the set of contracts making up the corporation are free to depart, rather than mandatory rules. As a normative matter, contractarians argue that this is just as it should be. E&F devote the bulk of this text to tweaking out these implications across an array of important topics, such as limited liability and insider trading.

Their analysis is not flawless. As but a single example, E&F consistently opt for the so-called majoritarian default. Their basic thesis is that by providing the rule to which the parties would agree if they could bargain, society facilitates private ordering. Majoritarian defaults are not always desirable, however, even if a potentially dominant one can be identified. Sometimes penalty defaults are preferable. Penalty defaults are designed to impose a penalty on at least one of the parties if they fail to bargain out of the default rule, thereby giving at least the party subject to the penalty an incentive to negotiate a contractual alternative to the penalty default. They force the parties to choose affirmatively the contract provision they prefer. Penalty defaults are appropriate where it is costly for courts to determine what the parties would have wanted. In such cases, it may be more efficient for the parties to negotiate a term ex ante than for courts to determine ex post what the parties would have wanted.

Having said that, however, this remains one of the most significant monographs on corporate law. I highly recommend it for an corporate lawyer's bookshelf.

The classic exposition of law and economics in the corporate field. This book consolidates and expands upon several law review articles written in the early 1980s that have reshaped how corporate and securities law and policy have developed. If you want heavier economic analysis, this book is lacking, but if you want *structure* and *framework* then this book is ideal.

This is a must read for the layman who doesn't want to read Economics 101. Many politicians and well-intentioned citizens should realize what they're up against when they try to thwart the laws of economics, whether it's the minimum wage, ticket scalping, drugs or abortions. This book explains in clear terms why many laws to regulate these issues are doomed from the start. In addition, this book is a great companion for a macroeconomics course to promote class discussions. However, if you already fully understand the laws of supply and demand, then this book is little more than light reading on a plane, and probably not worth the price. Paul Krugman's, The Accidental Theorist, addresses many of the same issues, is a lot cheaper, and more fun to read.

The Economics of Public Issues is an enjoyable textbook for the college student. It is perfect for its compact size, yet concise in detail. The topics are very illustrative, and students will find them relevant to today's world.

This book covered a wide range of topics with articles pertaining to economic issues. The articles were short and entertaining. The questions at the end of the articles were useful and thought provoking. Difficult topics are covered (e.g., rent control, airline safety, drug usage) in a fashion that allowed the reader develop their own opinion of the role economics plays on the issue.

I purchased this book as a researcher to assist me in my work and serve as a tool to both speed-up processes and use as a source to back-up my findings. One would imagine that the publishers would have provided accurate information. I found several errors in the information provided which demonstrates a lack of research and sloppiness in proofing of material contained within it. For instance; Judy Garland (a well known Irish American with very public information) is listed as the granddaughter of a FITZGERALD she was a FITZPATRICK ( big difference when you are using the information for research and genealogy and want a reliable source document for footnotes or bibliographies! the errors can result in un-substantiated work and wrong information. There are other errors less obvious but are too numerous to list. In short, this book was a waste of money and time on my part being of no help at all. I question all the data contained in it. The publisher has not provided a correction of the page as requested by me.

This encyclopedia is a wonderful source of information that is delightfully synthesized into one volume. The beauty of this book is that it acts as a source of historical information and provides hours of leisure entertainment in one volume. From Bing Crosby to Eamon De Valera, the Irish American relationship is well embraced and honored wonderfully. With reference to the Irish influence in virtually every state, this book provides a unique look at the history of these hard-working and successful immigrants. A must have in any Irish-American household.

This weighty volume will appeal to holdings with strong Irish history interests: it is compiled by a panel of scholars drawn from various nations and details the Irish people in Ireland and America. The inclusion of listings by state and area allows students to narrow their studies to local Irish history, while the listings include notable individuals, events, and social and religious topics affecting the Irish. A comprehensive and important addition to any serious Irish history collection.

This book seems to be a revision of a previous work by the author on creating a stillpoint in the body. To capitalize on the popularity of feng shui to sell books, the author has re-named his method :"feng shui of the body." There is nothing to merit this title. In fact, the baqua doesn't appear until the reader is 7/8's of the way thru the book. Then the connection is minor and forced. Altho feng shui deals with the movement of energy and a connection with the body could be made, this author does not make it.. The style used: dialogue between teacher and student, only fills up space for what should have been a magazine article.

The words feng shui in this book could be interchanged with cranial wave (from craniosacral therapy) or energy body (from numerous energy work methods) or core being (from these 3 teachers in this book) or dreambody (from process oriented therapy or dreambody work). I was taught and opened and confirmed by the teaching in the book. The 3 teachers quoted in the book were very good, and I wish the book had just given a little more information about the teachers themselves. Yes, the writing style was not the deepest, but then the writer is not just the writer, but a generous and brave person who has "passed" on what he has experienced. I also would have liked a little more description of the movement forms themselves, I wanted to be in the practice sessions described in the book. The bagua appearing in the book was surprisingly interesting to me, and I would like to know more about the movement of the bagua in the body and "throwing the I-ching" with the body. This book is not a book on feng shui as other books are, but rather it cuts to the chase about what the essence of feng shui is. It is another piece in the puzzle about how and why we must break ourselves open, release old patterns, and invite organic change. I am sure that Daniel Santos is doing just that and I thank him for sharing his process and his teachers. From pg. 32, "When you realize that you are trying to change without any hope of changing at all, that's when you change. When you accept yourself, you can move beyond yourself. If you are not busy with positive/negative reactions to your idea of yourself, your idea of yourself dissolves and you can move beyond it. It's in this area beyond that you'll find the Center for your own personal feng shui." Let this book come to you if you feel drawn to it and read it not only with your eyes, but with your breath, your heart and even just for the fun of it.

I think this is a wonderful book. I think Daniel brings a newperspective to our ideia of the body and a useful one. It opened myeyes to the importance of acupuncture too. I agree that he is not agreat writer as Carlos Castaneda, for example, but he's sure a good writer and the book doesn't lack in content. I think that the Feng Shui idea is proper and gives a deeper meaning to it than the usual books.

Tempted by super-vamipres, when I got around to running an Elysium game it was a total disaster. I would suggest this book only to those serious roleplayers who can create monstrously powerful characters and not get into a single barfight with them. You really need to know your stuff to make this one work!

Elysium describes the society of Elder Kindred, with all their philosophy, their intrigues, their squabbles and their struggles for power. It contains new backgrounds, merits&flaws and Gehenna cults. It is well written and provides details about daily life in a Camarilla city (though everything happens behind closed doors). The book claims that every Elder behaves like that, what I guess can't be true. Like in mortal society most people don't want the trouble a leadership brings. And after centuries of "Salon"-affairs Elders could get bored by kindred politics as well. Unlike Sigmund Freud mentioned, not every son wants to kill his father, likewise not every childe wants the final death of her sire. Apart from that, Elysium offers many good facts about vampire high society.

But again, there is absolutely no conjunction between age and generation! On the first pages Elysium even claims that older vampires have a younger appearance, what sounds completely nonsense.

Ever wanted to play a Vampires campaign at a "slightly higher" level of power? Or are you just a power gamer? Either way, you'll love this book. It's got rule for creating Vampire characters that are hundreds of years old, and that have all the power that conveys (and all of the problems too. There's nothing like having your arch-enemy be in control of military forces equal to a small country. Oh well, such is the price of power). It's also very useful for GM's creating mentors, Princes, sires, or anyone else that's just damn powerful

how the hell do i know if the information this book is what i want? what if this book only gives me the information i already know? meaning, it will only give half of the information, but not enough to finish the job.

This book is much better than Chilton's. Mustang II's are Mustangs too!!!

Just what the title says. I can't believe amazon allowed the first guy's review. He needs to learn how to do research or graduate from high school :)
Another great source for repair info is the yahoo! group- mustangiima. Use a search engine to find it then join up! Many knowledgeable people are on that list. Good luck with your II.
