Customer Reviews:
The Title is not German at all!.......2007-03-02
Even the title "Geschaftsdeutsch" does not exist as a German word. Nobody would say this. It is a 100% translation "Business German" into German, but is is not accurate German lanuage as spoken in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. By the way, the spelling of "Geschaft" (business) is also wrong, correct would be "Geschäft".
VERY OUTDATED!.......2003-11-28
I have used this book several times for classes, but I have to keep supplementing it on a constant basis. I think that it is excellent in terms of organization, theme development and certainly vocabulary; however, I cannot excuse the lack of updating. The copyright is 1995 and since then, several countries have joined the European Union, the Euro has become THE currency of Europe - not to mention the technological advances that have occurred in the past 8-9 years! I beg Gudrun Clay to update this otherwise superb classroom tool - it's a waste to just let it sit. As a result of the lack of updating, I cannot recommend this book for the classroom. Perhaps "Deutsch im Berufsalltag" by Thompson Press would be a better choice. It even has a CD for the students to use.
good, but outdated.......1999-03-03
This book is a great text for those venturing out in the world of international business... in 1990 that is. The content and layout of this book is very useful, however the second edition lacks the necessary over-haul bringing it up to date from its original version. Try again Dr. Clay.
An effective and up-to-date textbook for 3rd/4th year German.......1997-07-25
This second edition of Gudrun Clay's Geschaeftsdeutsch textbook focuses on preparing students to take and pass the Goethe Institute's Pruefung Wirtschaftsdeutsch International. It effectively combines business-oriented reading selections with communicative groups activities, vocabulary acquisition, writing tasks, and up-to-date information. Although its listening comprehension setup is weaker than the rest of the textbook, overall it can form a useful foundation for any third- or fourth-year Business German course at university-level, including application in a community college or night-school environment

Book Description
In recent years, international business disputes have increasingly been resolved through private arbitration. The first book of its kind, Dealing in Virtue details how an elite group of transnational lawyers constructed an autonomous legal field that has given them a central and powerful role in the global marketplace.
Building on Pierre Bourdieu's structural approach, the authors show how an informal, settlement-oriented system became formalized and litigious. Integral to this new legal field is the intense personal competition among arbitrators to gain a reputation for virtue, hoping to be selected for arbitration panels. Since arbitration fees have skyrocketed, this is a high-stakes game.
Using multiple examples, Dezalay and Garth explore how international developments can transform domestic methods for handling disputes and analyze the changing prospects for international business dispute resolution given the growing presence of such international market and regulatory institutions as the EEC, the WTO, and NAFTA.
"A fascinating book, which I strongly recommend to all those active in international commercial arbitration, as they will see the arbitral world from new and unthought of perspectives."—Jacques Werner, Journal of International Arbitration
Customer Reviews:
An excelent work on law sociology........1999-06-30
The autor have done a very clear presentation of the construction of fields (a Pierre Bourdieu's concept) in law legitimation and social creation of power. Tis book isn't only an important work on international arbitration but a fundamental reading to all that would like to understand law and society. The history of international arbitration field on ICC and other institutions, illustrated by several examples, is, perhaps, the best way to undersatnd how and why the international ADR have developed and works.
Book Description
This text, the second volume of Wayne Winston's successful OPERATIONS RESEARCH: APPLICATIONS AND ALGORITHMS, Fourth Edition, covers probability models with recent contributions from financial engineering, computational simulation and manufacturing. The specific attention to probability models with the addition of recent practical breakthroughs makes this the first text to introduce these ideas together at an accessible level. Excellent problem sets abound. The text provides a balanced approach by developing the underlying theory while illustrating them with interesting examples. All of the necessary mathematical requirements are reviewed in Chapter 1.

Customer Reviews:
A lifesaver.......2006-04-16
My boyfriend usually does all the cooking and I must confess I'm a little lost on what to eat when he isn't around. If, like me, you can't be bothered to cook and are quite incompetent at doing so, but are sick of toast or cheese and crackers, then this book is excellent. If, like me, you've looked for recipes and have been frustrated to find that most of them have long lists of ingredients with complicated instructions, then this is the book you need.
It has both basic and original recipes. For instance, it tells you how to make a basic white sauce, but it also has nifty recipes like bacon and cream cheese roll-ups. I think even a competent cook could gain a lot from this if they want to just make something simple once in a while, as this will have plenty of simple ideas they probably hadn't thought of.
My latest favorite.......2004-09-06
When I'm looking for an ideal cookbook I have a few criteria:
1. It should be well-written and have plenty of substance.
2. It should have photos of the dishes.
3. It should have recipes that are fast and easy to make.
4. I should be attracted to the food I'm going to make.
This book has all the of the above. Each double page has six recipes along with a color picture of the dish. The recipes are simple and yet very innovative and exciting (to me).
I'm a single man so I can't be bothered buying and preparing a really long recipe. On the other hand I love great food and a varied diet.
My other favorite cookbooks are:
Mark Bittman - How to Cook Anything - very comprehensive and authoritative. Wonderful book.
Nobuyuki Matsuhisa - Nobu the Cookbook - a good look at a form of modern Japanese cooking.
How To Eat - Nigella Lawson - very interesting to read.
David Joachim - Brilliant Food Tips and Cooking Tricks - good reference book.
Best food reviews and amusing essays: Jeffrey Steingarten's books.
4 ingredients does not equal "easy" or "good".......2004-08-08
My mother bought me this book because she thought it would make cooking easier for me. Unfortunately I could find few recipes in the book that sounded tasty enough to make. Also, just because the recipes only had 4 ingredients didn't necessarily mean they were easy to make, or the ingredients commonplace. I opened this book 20 times in the first month I owned it and made one recipe (which I didn't like). I have never used it since.
For those who absolutely must have a recipe.......2002-04-24
This is a niche market cookbook excellent for those just learning to cook and for those who compulsively must have a recipe. Thus one gets such complex recipes as "Parsley Leaf Potatoes" (roast russet potatoes and top with flat leaf parsley) and "Parsley Potatoes" (steam new potatoes and top with snipped parsley) ... Well it does get the author to his 1001 recipes more quickly. One also gets recipes that you must be a kid to appreciate - fish sticks wrapped in crescent dinner rolls.
But once one gets past some of the absurdities, the cookbook provides some very good introductions to basic home cooking flavors and mixtures: corn with bell peppers, fresh green peas with garlic, curried green beans, cucumbers in sour cream. It's strength, however, is that it moves beyond the standard pantry:
dandelion greens, eggplant parmigiana, bamboo shoots with chili sauce, shallots, steamed taro with swiss chard.
The recipes never exceed 4 ingredients plus pantry items. The instructions require only minimal cooking experience. Occasionally the recipe includes variations but the normal pattern is for variations to be separate recipes.
The recipes are printed 3 to a page - a random sample pair of pages gives an idea of the breadth of the material: on the left "Pressed Lamb Loaf with Herbs", "Prosciutto with Pasta Sauce", "Quick Lamb Fricassee"; on the right "Quick Ham and Pineapple" "Red Flannel Hash" and "Rice and Cheese with Frankfurters". The odd juxtapositions provide entertainment when one scans for a recipe.
Even an experienced cook will find some interesting recipes, but the real value of this cookbook is for those just learning what might go with what.
