A GREAT Resource.......2002-10-30

I have read many books aboout glass painting but none as helpful as this one.

The directions are simple and well-illustrated and the lists of materials are very complete.

I am one of those artistically challenged people....this book gave me ideas to use that do not require the ability to draw. I was so motivated when I got it and have tried many of the techniques....incredible.

Thanks, Moira and Lynda...your book is JUST what I needed to release my creativity!

Perfect for BEGINNERS!.......2000-09-21

I have never painted glass before, in fact, Ive never really done any crafts, Im a complete newbie to this whole thing, and this is the first book I bought on glass painting. I can say, I just got it yesterday,and it was so motivating, I already finished my first project today! The instructions are easy to understand, the authors give great tips, and the projects that are included are simple but they dont look simplistic when their done.I cant wait to try the other projects, you dont have to any prior experience to doing glass painting, just an interest and desire to try something new!

Brilliant.......2000-06-10

Customer Reviews:

Excellent introduction .......2007-07-08

Dr. Rohlf's text is a wonderful introduction and reference for anyone interested in understanding and applying the fundamentals of microeconomics. Rohlf provides real world discussion of what is usually presented as abstract. This text provides sound basics of strategy analysis.

A Good Economic text which lacks important details........1999-10-15

I would reccomend this textbook for students or someone who is just begining economics. This book is for the most part easy to follow. It gives basic concepts of microeconomics and macroeconomics. However, more pedagogy is needed in some chapters as well as with explanations.

Book Description

Introduction to Engineering Ethics provides the background for discussion of the basic issues in engineering ethics. Emphasis is given to the moral problems engineers face in the corporate setting. It places those issues within a philosophical framework, and it seems to exhibit both their social importance and their intellectual challenge. The primary goal is to stimulate critical and responsible reflection on moral issues surrounding engineering practice and to provide the conceptual tools necessary for pursuing those issues.

Book Description

When economists wrestle with issues such as unemployment, inflation, or budget deficits, they do so by incorporating an impersonal, detached mode of reasoning. But economists also analyze issues that, to others, do not typically fall within the realm of economic reasoning, such as organ transplants, cigarette addiction, smoking in public, and product safety. Trade-Offs is an introduction to the economic approach to analyzing these controversial public policy issues.

Harold Winter provides readers with the analytical tools needed to identify and understand the trade-offs associated with these topics. By considering both the costs and benefits of potential policy solutions, Winter stresses that real-world policy decision making is best served by an explicit recognition of as many trade-offs as possible.

Intellectually stimulating yet accessible and entertaining, Trade-Offs will be appreciated by students of economics, public policy, health administration, political science, and law, as well as by anyone who follows current social policy debates.

Customer Reviews:

Short and sweet........2007-06-23

This no non-sense, straight to the point book demonstrates clearly that no solutions exist to any social situation. There are only trade-offs. I especially liked his argument that there may be too little smoking in the world.

Winter clearly understands that pleasure, life, and many other things do indeed have a dollar value associated with them. Ignoring this exposes you to a variety of logical flaws, leading to false or misleading solutions.

Excellent........2006-07-27

Excellent, EXCELLENT book.

Though, I beg to ask, why is it so short?

I started recommending this to students. And then told them not to waste their time with "Freakonomics".

Great text.......2006-05-23

For the past 6 months or so, I have been frantically searching for a text I can use for a second year policy econ course for non-majors. I'd found nothing that covered the range of topics I wanted or at the appropriate level. This text is perfect; I wish I'd found it before the uni bookstore's cut off date! Each chapter would have to be supplemented with additional readings to provide the appropriate depth, but the coverage is almost perfect for the kind of course I'm teaching. Strongly recommended.

Good stuff - and a good read.......2006-02-23

I like it! Economics made easy and fun, a la "Freakonomics."

The economics of policy.......2006-02-09

'Trade-offs' is a good introduction to the economic analysis of policy, with a message clearly conveyed by its title: There are trade-offs for every (public) policy. Excellent for explaining economic analysis to people with little background in economics.

Disagree with the previous reviewer's comparison with Freakonomics: Though both are good, Freakonomics describes things that are at the frontier of current economic research (in an amazingly clear way). So, Freakonomics offers both clarity and novelty, while (at least for most people educated in economics), Trade-Offs mostly offers the former.

I would have given Trade-Offs a four star, but I think it is a bit too short for the money.

ASIN: 0945466285

Book Description

This high-school text is aimed at teaching the intelligent young reader how to think about economic problems in a manner consistent with the Austrian School tradition. Its chapters on action, preference, demand and supply, value theory, money, and price controls emphasize deductive logic, the market process, and the failures of government intervention. As the only text of its kind, it is engaging, funny, filled with examples, and never talks down to the student. It is perfect for homeschoolers, but every student, young or old, will benefit from it. Indeed, a student familiar with its contents will be fully prepared to see through the fallacies of the Economics 101 texts used at the college level. Includes a glossary and recommended readings.

A Sectarian View on Economics.......2005-05-29

As the author states in the introduction this book is written from the viewpoint of the Austrian School of economics. More precisely it follows the teachings of Ludwig von Mises. Von Mises based his economic theories on a single axiom: "Man acts to achieve an end." From this single axiom he drew all his consequences that led him to the conclusion that free market is not bound to a specific economic system but rooted in the very nature of man.

Von Mises himself might have done better, but David Gordon does not succeed in showing what should prevent men from achieving their ends by non-market means like for example enslaving other people. That is at least what people did for thousands of years. But observations like this would not be taken into consideration by Misesian economists: Von Mises based his economic theories entirely on deductive logic and viewed empirical facts as simply irrelevant. The reader should take into account that this book follows a sectarian approach which is rejected as methodically inadequate by mainstream economics as well as by other members of the Austrian School.

The autor is well versed in logic and writes a witty prose but he employed his abilities to write a right-wing propaganda pamphlet disguised as textbook. David Gordon makes out numerous enemies: Sociology, progressive schools, Hillary Clinton, trade unions, taxes, the New Deal, Minimum Wages, any kind of state intervention. The state is the villain anyway.

In its essence this book presents a cynical viewpoint. We learn for example that "the marginal sellers will exit the market". But what does it mean if a marginal seller of labor exits the market in a society without welfare system? Thomas Robert Malthus was the last economist that dared to be explicit about this point: "Exiting the market" means starving to death in this case.

David Gordon's promise is that in a completely deregulated marked there will be no unemployment. But will the sellers of labor also be able to make a living from their wages? David Gordon does not bother to answer this point but we can call the founder of the Austrian School to the rescue: Carl Menger stated in his Principles of economics (1871): "Experience also informs us that many labor services cannot be exchanged by the laborer even for the most necessary means of subsistence... In Berlin, a seamstress working 15 hours a day cannot earn what she needs for her subsistence. Her income covers food, shelter, and firewood, but even with the most strenuous industry she cannot earn enough for clothing."

Good intro for a novice.......2003-05-28

This is a very good book for a high school economics 101 course. This book should be read by every high school student. The ideas are put forth in a very straight foward manner that is almost too easy to understand. If you have any knowledge about ecomomics, do not get this. You will be board with the concepts Gordon goes over.

Basic Economics Made Easy.......2003-03-30

AN INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC REASONING is probably the first book you want to read if you are planning on studying economics. Although this work is called an introduction to "economic reasoning," it is perhaps more accurately considered an introduction to economics as such.

This book is quite basic, and could be profitably used by high school students or anyone without a knowledge of economics. It hits many of the basic topics in economics, such as marginal utility, supply and demand, and money. It is from the Austrian perspective, so it could save a high schooler from years of unlearning. The only drawback is that although it contains many useful study questions, it doesn't include the answers (nor is there, from what I can tell, a teacher's guide).

Dr. David Gordon is associated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute, the nation's premier free enterprise think tank. The Institute has published another work - ECONOMICS FOR REAL PEOPLE by Gene Callahan - that is more advanced and would make an excellent follow-up work.

Did you always want to understand what economics was about.........2000-10-12

... but found nobody whom to ask?

This book is definitely the way out. It has everything a beginner's textbook is asking for. Witty writing, step-by-step explanations, practical examples. By the way you understand what is meant with concepts and theories economists use to explain to us why a certain policy should be pursued or abolished, like the labor theory of value, price controls, minimum wages, and different currency systems. And before you know you understand what is behind the arguments of current policy issues, what are the true and the false arguments, misleading paths, right or wrong theories behind them.

The author is not soft on the issues, but uses logical reasoning and explains in every step the possible fallacies. In the end - if one likes it or not - one has to follow his cogent conclusions about the way markets work in a free society and how government intervention affects those outcomes.
