It took about 3 years to get this book... But it was worth it. It makes building your own hot tub well within the reach of anyone with a few power tools and the ability to buy some good redwood. I recommend this book to anyone with patience, a tablesaw and some $$ for wood.

There are far too few books for kids about tools. This one is great - well-drawn pictures of each tool and detailed descriptions so that a tool novice like me can answer all the questions my kids might have. This would be a fantastic gift for any kid who's house is undergoing a remodel or large repair.

This book contains information not found in any other book on the history of early California.It is a very complete history of the builders and buildngs during the Spanish era. Part II contains the names of the Spanish artisans, the California Indian Artisans, and Foreign Artisans. It gives biographical informahtion about the artisans as well as details of their families. An excellant resource.

My copy of this book was given to a relative of mine in November 1901 - when I read it in 1999, it spoke straight into my life in an easy to read manner, convicted me on the areas I need to work on, but most of all, gave me a passion to build something meaningful and lasting and beautiful out of my life! Immensely relevant and beautifully written. 10/10!

This book publishes all the papers presented in the first Business object Design & Implementation Workshop which was held in OOPSLA'95 conference where there were 12 position papers presented. The theme of that workshop was largely surrounding the areas of applying Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOAD) methods within the business environment. [Casanave 95] proposed to integrate the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) with the middle layer architecture and to form a standard of Business Object Architecture for vertical industry's applications. Casanave's approach was supported by [Poirier et al 95] which proposed a telecommunication architecture Business object model. [Hertha et al 95] proposed a 3-model 4-tier framework for business applications. [Kossman 95] proposed a model to support real-time OO systems. [Digre 95] proposed a component based architecture for client/server distributed applications. [Ramackers et al 95] proposed a CASE tool environment to integrate OO modelling, Business Process Reengineering (BRP) and workflow management. [Grothehen et al 95] proposed a mechanism to interface with legacy system. [McCarthy et al 95] suggested a Resource-Event-Agent (REA) for value-added processes of a business enterprise. [Schwaber 95] used the rugby metaphor by adding a SCRUM management technique in OO project. Based on the position papers presented, Business Objects were used in a wide range of spectrums in both academic and industrial sectors. Most, if not all, the presenters held high calibre in their particular industrial / academic sectors. That's how they made such a good quality paper.

If you read only one book about trading, choose this book. Then read it several times.

Originally published in 1933, this reprint, in just 154 pages, contains an incredible wealth of trading and investing wisdom.

99%+ of the contents apply fully to investing and trading in current markets.

If this book had been written and published this year, it would be highly touted, widely quoted, and the best seller within its genre.

Little is known about the authors. Consequently I suspect their names are pseudonames. My guess is that Richard Wyckoff is one of the authors. But maybe not.

The reprint includes a foreword by Don G. Worden.

The first ten pages alone are invaluable, covering training, ignorance, intuition, mental equipment, study, planning, paper trading, etc., not in some superficial and useless way, but providing practical advice that you can use.

Chapters cover

- market manipulation and how to recognize and take advantage of manipulation;
- recognizing stages of accumulation and distribution, then how to use that to your own advantage;
- tape (time and sales) interpretation;
- and so on.

The authors first give you concepts and reasoning, including recognition and interpret them, then tell you how to apply all of that, in practical, specific ways.

Even if you have many successful years trading and investing, this book is worth reading at least once yearly!
