It doesn't feel like the author has practical experience in small-cap investing (he's a professor), and a lot of material is just theory. Too much time is spent on the history and controversy of small-cap performance. The figures and diagrams are crude and at times hard to interpret. The facts may not be out of date, but the presentation is.

These stroies are worth reading,but the translations in this book are fairly bland. In fact, the translation for Ajax is pretty bad. I don't think I've ever seen the word twinkie used in a Greek trajedy before. I would recomend picking up other versions of these plays.

The list of cases look impressive...notable names in the industry and a good broad perspective of problem areas covering the entire logistics arena over a wide geographical span. But that's it! The cases are sketchy at best and not very informative.

I am a MCSE who looked at this book for use when studying for my tests. Now, a networking class is using this as a manual and I have to say something. This book does not cover the material well enough to take the tests nor in depth enough to actually do Enterprise networking with NT.

While the author's background sounds impressive and an illustrated book is provided, the information provided in this set lacks both depth and usefullness as an oracle.

Ever go into the kids department and look at one of those picture books on a country??? They have pictures of mummies and pyramids and lots of surface level info on belief systems...That is what you get in this "oracle".

The book has lots of pictures and short insubstantial bits of information on everything BUT how to use the oracle. It jumps from one topic to the next without ever dealing with this. There is a page with a few words on magic, a brief paragraph or two with pictures describing the Gods and some other various and sundry pages on healing, the Rosetta Stone, Hermes, Ankhs and general info on Eqyptian culture and beliefs. But where is the "oracle" that tells the future? Nowhere to be found.

As best I can figure (there are no clear instructions), you are supposed to carry around or somehow make use of the picture cards of the Gods to produce the results ruled by them in your life. They are like props for your own version of Egyptian magic. The other cards which give short, not very usefull pronouncements such as "don't leave home," are even more of a mystery. They seem to have something to do with the small...double sided calendar, but exactly what is not clear...And does the Egyptian calendar which has been transposed to ours even account for the shift in the stars over the last 2000 years?? We aren't told. The equinox points are noted but then any wiccan calendar will give you that and much more.

Aside from that the Ankh included is ... almost weightless and not anything you would want to wear. The box however is very substantial. Nice heavy box...
