I found this book to be clear and very understandable in teaching the basic foundations of law. The many examples in the book, of how the law works, that the author gave also proved to be quite helpful to my students. This book would not only be helpful to the busines student, but to any person who has an interest in learning about the many aspects of law.

Only book I've read.

There is probably no greater man in American history than Bill Walton. His incisive NBC/ABC/ESPN commentary over the years has served as a kind of chorus for the complexities of contemporary life; and his pre-game analysis transcends usual sports babble to become biting satire and social commentary. All of this on top of the fact that he was the most gifted athlete of his generation, tragically hampered by knee injuries. This book deals very little with Walton's modern exodus through the world of Grateful Dead shows and volleyball, into the hallowed halls of sports journalism; but it does provide a good introduction to the post-moves and fundamentals that were, in essence, the early education of a genius. If Naismith is his Hegel; then John Wooden was his Marx; and Walton has become the most subversive philosopher of our generation. Just listen to him the next time he comments on a pair of free throws during the NBA finals. It isn't just mindless chatter. It's a call to arms for every thinking man watching the Nets v. the Spurs. All four of us.

Mr. Richman tells a story that only he could tell.His humorous, nostalgic account of the Catskill's golden era and its decline is one worth reading.

You can read it on your own and learn a great deal, or you can use it as a guide to other readings. Even better, you can use it as a self-guided course for adults through your community center, religious community, school, or citizen's action group. Here are a sample of blurbs from the back cover:

Robert Irwin's book lays out the choices before us clearly and accurately... If it stimulates thought and action, the possibilities for human survival will be enhanced. (Noam Chomsky, MIT)

Building a Peace System is magnificent. The scope is staggering, the presentation clear and wonderfully useful, and the orientations to each topic are just superb. (by Gordon Fellman, Brandeis University sociologist, and author of Rambo and the Dalai Lama)

An inspired work in the best tradition of community-based movement learning: participatory, empowering, and firmly anchored in solid scholarship on the one hand and radical imagination on the other. (Elise Boulding, former Secretary General, International Peace Research Association, and author of Cultures of Peace)

As an economic analyst I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW MUCH THE MARKET NEEDS THIS BOOK. I thought I was well prepared to do research, but... my experience was, ask any manager or business student questions about business references and 95% of them responded with "don't know". PERHAPS YOU'RE SMARTER THAN THE REST, WANT TO TRY SOME EASY ONES?? What, for example, is the difference between Standard & Poors and Moodys? In what reference book can you find a bio on Bill Gates? What is the single journal in the US that specializes on China, one of the fastest growing economies in the world? What reference book will show you how many men's athletic shoes were manufactured in the US last year? What reference work will show which was consumed more in 1997: beer, milk,or coffee? Where can you find the CIA's economic profile of Germany? OK, How many of you got all of the questions right? Thought so.....

This is not a trivia game. Rather, Butler has issued a call to arms for business schools in the US and Europe to heed. Most business people and students do not know where to look for business information. The easy answer is the web. But it's the wrong answer in the sense that haphazard searches can be long, frustrating and empty if you don't know where to look. For example: Want an immediate profile of a company in the US or Europe, that tells you who's in charge, where they are located, what their history is, and how they are doing financially? Answer: Go to Hoover's Online, or a hardcopy in the library. Butler's book will tell you about Hoover's, Directories, Almanacs, Encyclopedias, Government Publications, International publications, Industry and Trade Magazines, Databases, Newspapers, etc. His "Reference Navigator" shows you how to immediately get to the web address, use the e-mail and find the database. He gives you a two-page description, an ACTUAL SAMPLE of the TABLE OF CONTENTS of the publication, plus an ACTUAL SAMPLE PAGE from the publication.

In my opinion, no business professor, student, investor, or analyst WHO THINKS SERIOUSLY ABOUT THEIR CAREER should be without this book. BUY IT! You can see it online at McGraw-Hill's Higher Education Website: www.MHHE.com/Butler

If you don't believe me listen to what Irving R. Levine (former Chief Economics Correspondent for NBC News) said: "Dr. Butler has skillfully undertaken the role of Sherpa on the treacherous slopes of the mountains of available business data and he guides the reader with precision and even a generous ration of wit. The problem for anyone doing research in the Information Age is not a lack of information, but rather how to target the information required for a particular project and how to get to it quickly. That's what this book accomplishes."

This book is directed toward first time home buyers. It was a very good guide for me when I was looking to purchase a home. It explains all the steps in easy to understand terms, and explains all the terminolgy very well. After reading this book you will know what you must do to prepare for your home purchase. You will know what to look for in an agent, you will know what to expect when you talk to a lender. The process will no longer be intimidating. Definately worth the little money you pay for the book.

Right now you are using the internet to research a potential book purchase. Is it unrealistic to think that right now someone else is using the internet to research a potential house purchase? Not at all! In fact, with the help of this book, I discovered the very effective world of internet home buying.

Robert Irwin's book is very comprehensive and well written. I used many of the techniques and suggestions offered in his book and discovered results beyond belief. Anyone considering a home purchase should definately read this book!

Though the work is forty years old, Storer and Tevis remains a valuable sourcebook for those wishing to understand the full nature of an extinction. It's all here: bear biology, relationships with Indians, relationships with Spaniards, stories of famous California Grizzlies, the ~real~ life and time of Grizzly Adams, and more. Whether you are a biologist, a historian, or just an armchair wildlife enthusiast, you will find California Grizzly a fascinating and necessary book.
