A really great perspective of the Korean war.......2005-02-14
This book offers a unique insight of the Korean War at its worst as seen through the eyes of an Orthodox Jewish Chaplain who shared the travails of the American soldiers at a most desperate time in our history. It is comprised of translations from the Yiddish, as it was published in the Yiddish Daily, The Morgan Journal, out of New York. The book has a fascinating introduction about the Korean War which in abbreviated form sets the stage for a true understanding of the depth, breadth, and tragedy of this conflict. It also gives a heretofore unseen insight into the thoughts and behavior of the Jewish soldier of that time. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about the Korean War from "the trenches". Original maps and clear writing make the information come to life.

From the author: The Real Options paradigm addresses the valuation of managerial flexibility in capital budgeting. Despite the great strides achieved by researchers in this field, many financial analysts have chosen not to adopt this new paradigm due to a lack of comfort with the approach and the mathematical complexity of the valuation models. This article shows how some projects with real options can be valued using simple and familiar tools--discounting expected cash flows after adjusting the discount rate. Unless the discount rate is adjusted to account for the impact of real options on risk, a traditional net present value (NPV) analysis misses the value of flexibility. By narrowing the gulf between Real Options analysis and more familiar tools, the weighted average discount rate (WADR) approach introduced in this paper may help novices better understand the Real Options paradigm, which subsequently may gain the wider acceptance it deserves. Though the WADR approach is practical only for simple real options, comfort with the approach may encourage analysts to pursue more advanced and robust real option valuation techniques for more complex applications.

An Excellent Resource.......2004-05-23
This workbook is a valuable guide to improving couples' communication skills. It provides examples of the typical mistakes couples make when responding to each other and suggests ways to recognize and avoid those pitfalls. I particularly liked the emphasis on listening, as well as learning to respond to your partner in a constructive way. The exercises are a useful way for couples to start changing negative patterns in their communications. In sum, this is a great resource for anyone in a relationship.
Power of Two Workbook.......2003-11-13
Finally a workbook that is helpful and easy to follow. We found the fun yet challanging "homework" assignments for couples extremely helpful in enhancing our communication skills. These skills have helped promote win-win situations for both of us on a daily basis. This has definately helped our marriage. A must have for all married couples as well as a great gift idea for newlyweds.

A biblically sound approach to your marriage........2001-11-09
My husband and I read this book right before we got married. And now, almost two years later, we continue to refer to it again and again.
Very useful, insightful and Godly.
Two Becoming One--A Big Hit.......2000-05-14
This workbook, along with the text book of the same title, should be required reading for everyone who is either in a relationship or desires to be in one. This book is a careful and complete study of God's intentions for men and women in relationship. It establishes clear and cogent Biblical guidelines. While it is an excellent book for those who are married, the principles it teaches are relevent to all relationships. Regardless of the success of your marriage, this book will open your eyes to things you've never seen before. Get it and read it now--it will change your life.

Contextual Mathematics Teaching Methodology
Amazon.com
James Beard's 1964 classic, Delights and Prejudices, has been reprinted in a newly illustrated edition. This is wonderful news for all who love food and food writing. Erudite yet intimate, Delights and Prejudices is, first, the memoir-with-recipes of a great American gastronome. It's also fascinatingly panoramic on good meals taken worldwide; on ingredients as diverse as the potato and the truffle; on great food places, markets to restaurants; and on food people, from Beard's cantankerous, food-muse mother to many of the stars of the last century's food firmament, including Julia Child. This is not only Beard's greatest work but also one of the best books we have on food and what we know about it.
Beard's gastronomic life began in bounteous early-20th century Portland, Oregon, where his mother cooked for several hotels. An early culinary memory has the near-infant Beard relishing an onion, skin and all. From there the story captures a world of gastronomic likes and dislikes from "sensational" veal roasts to the gherkins known as cornichons, "one of the mistakes the French make in eating." Beard's love of French food is, however, usually unmitigated, matched only by his adoration of traditional, locally produced American cooking. Recipes for this fare, including clam soufflé and candied-ginger pumpkin pie, are among the 150 formulas offered, a Beardian crème de la crème that also encompasses hors d'oeuvres, breads, and cakes. The book also chronicles Beard's ascent to fame, beginning with his 1940s appearance on I Love to Eat, TV's first cooking show, to the arrival of his many influential cookbooks. It ends, characteristically, in his kitchen, "the place where [he] can best satisfy the eccentricities of [his] own palate." The journey makes am enthralling read. --Arthur Boehm

An American Master Epicure Shares His Roots.......2003-11-12
This book is somewhat less entertaining than some more recent culinary memoirs, such as those written by Ruth Reichl, for example but, given the importance of it's subject, it is very rewarding for both it's historical and culinary contents.
Beard is the quintessential `old school' American culinary figure. You will find little or no preaching on local sources, simple preparations, fresh ingredients, or organically raised produce. These were simply not an issue for him in 1964. Recall that this was less than 4 years after the publication of Rachael Carson's `Silent Spring' and less than 2 years after the publication of Julia Child's `Mastering the Art of French Cooking'. Elizabeth David was probably unknown to most of Beard's audience and Chez Panisse was less than a glimmer in Alice Water's psyche.
I must say that having read a recent, well regarded biography of Beard, I suspect that Beard has done something of which Martha Stewart has been `accused'. That is, reinventing himself to the public by glossing over some of the less pleasant episodes in his childhood. And, at least two thirds of the book deal with his mother, her chefs at their Portland Oregan boarding house, and his early exposure to the foods of the American northwest.
This is much more of a memoir than it is a cookbook, but for what few recipes it contains, there is a much greater chance that these are from Beard's personal experience. As his autobiography documents, and as Jerimiah Tower, a Beard confidant confirms, this may be one of the few books James Beard wrote himself. He almost always had one or more assistants compiling material for his books.
Aside from his being the most important influence on the food writing of a generation of Americans, I always appreciate Beard for the simplicity of his recipes and ingredients. One rarely needs to worry about obscure ingredients or difficult techniques in Beard's books So, If one wishes to get an authentic taste of this American original and get a sense of the nature of his writing, one cannot do better than by reading this volume.
A Cooking Autobiography.......2000-07-31
This is a wonderful look back by the author. He looks at his life in the Northwest and the foods that brought solace. How they were prepared and how the foods intertwined with daily life in the Beard household. Beard reveals his "delights and prejudices" for and against certain foods, methods Etc. This book made me think back to my childhood and the foods we would cook as the seasons came and went. Fresh game, fruits local to our area...I could almost smell the wild strawberries as Beard described them. I sure wish this book was back in print but try to find it if you can. It's a real gem!
Words of a Master.......1998-07-01
James Beard only offered hints and fragmented stories of his past over the years -- this is the closest thing he could humanly muster as an autobiography... and, of course, it's mostly about food. You forgive his inability to delve into self when you hear the wonderful tales he spins -- the book is loaded with gems. It serves as a fine historical piece, if anything, and, though vague on the man, is as accurate as anything Beard has produced.
