    1 out of 5 stars Not of value to me..........2007-01-09

    I purchased the Willmaker Plus CD. The accompanying manual looked a bit thin so I ordered Estate Planning for Dummies to read before getting down to the Willmaker manual and program. Frankly, it was a waste of time and money, as the Willmaker manual and the on-screen help was more concise and better written. I've been happy with several Dummies books, but this isn't one of them.

    1 out of 5 stars You would be a dummie to buy this book........2006-06-22

    Open this book and you will see that it is formatted and reads like every other textbook you have read since college. The writing makes no attempt to reduce the complexities of the subject. It simply reiterates all the language you never understood in the first place. As the author of "Everything A Baby Boomer Should Know -- An Insider's Guide to Estate Planning," I suggest you compare my book which honestly and easily explains the tools of the probate system, to this book which is impossible to understand if you have no background on the subject.

    3 out of 5 stars Its okay but I wanted more-specific information.......2006-01-09

    This book gives you general information about Estate Planning but It left me wanting more. I was surprise that it didnt mention anything about AB trust. I wish it would have given the upside and donwnside to each options of wills or trust.

    I would have settled for a checklist what to ask your lawyer or accountant considering that he kept harping of always ask your lawyer. Although I see the lawyer point, if I was meeting with a lawyer I would have not wasted 20 dollars and change to read the book.
    Many who read books like Dummies want to avoid paying thousands of dollars to a lawyer or as I mention , and if you want me to ask my lawyer at least give me very specific checklist of questions.

    If you could, buy it at a discount or borrow it from the library. I probably sell mine on Ebay.

    2 out of 5 stars They weren't kidding when they said "for dummies".......2005-04-28

    I didn't find this book helpful at all. It just barely skims the surface, and usually concludes with "make sure you talk to your accountant/attorney/estate planner." If I intended to talk to all those folks, I wouldn't waste my time reading this book in the first place. Most of what this book covers could be learned by snooping around the web - and in many cases you can learn more that way. It defines the terminology, but even that is often inadequate. I suggest you check this book out from the local library, and then if you find it to be a useful resource go ahead and buy it. I wish I had done that - I don't feel this book has enough information to really qualify as a reference book.

    3 out of 5 stars Are we that dumb?.......2005-02-12

    I thought the tone of this book was really patronizing (okay yeah I know it's for 'dummies' but does it need to keep reminding you of that fact constantly?). It's repetitive and ultimately tells you to consult an estate planner anyway--so forget using it to save money to plan your own estate. For a much more directly useful guide to estate planning (with forms you can fill out on a cd-rom), I highly recommend Quicken's Willmaker Plus. You get all the same information as in this book, plus more, and in a much less annoying style. And since it includes the forms for the key documents you need to prepare (e.g., simple will, durable power of attorney, etc.), you may be able to plan your own estate yourself (dummy or not).

      Book Description

      Unlike other areas of fund-raising, planned giving brings fund-raising professionals into contact with lawyers, accountants, financial planners, consultants, and wealthy donors. They need to be able to speak the same language as the donors and their advisors while still keeping their own organization's goals in mind. This book can help them address these and other vital issues related to starting, marketing, administering, and expanding a planned giving program.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the bankruptcy process.......2004-01-23

        This is an excellent book for the non-lawyer that needs to get up to speed quickly on the bankruptcy process. I found myself as the business person managing the creditor side of a bankruptcy and this book helped me become fluent in the process with minimal delay.

        The book is written in a light manner and is a rather quick read with a lot of detail available in appendices.

Our overriding concern is to provide an inexpensive, effective, and easy-to-use study program. This study book

            1. Explains how to optimize your grade by focusing on the Business Law section of the CPA exam.

            3. Outlines all of the subject matter tested on the Business Law section in 20 easy-to-use study units.

            4. Presents multiple-choice questions from recent CPA examinations to prepare you for business law questions in future CPA exams. Our answer explanations are presented to the immediate right of each question for your convenience. Two bookmarks are provided at the back of the book, to be used to cover the answer explanations as you study the multiple-choice questions.

            5. Provides selected OOF (other objective format) questions on which you can practice your question answering technique.

                  This book is designed to provide materials for faculty and students who want to explore the basic intellectual history of modern economics and its turn away from rigid rationality assumptions by including material that would be useful in courses and seminars taught in economics departments at all levels, law school courses and seminars. It looks beyond neoclassical theory to provide the following alternatives: An introduction to the major challenges to the neoclassical model from scholars who share a faith in market ordering with overviews of the perspectives of behavioral economics, informational economics, institutional economics, and social norms. An introduction to the major criticisms of neoclassical economics from scholars who reject the model of the market for distributing the basic necessities of life with overviews of the perspectives of humanism; feminist critiques of market theory; racial critiques of market theory; empirical evidence of persistent racial discrimination in major markets; and market socialism.

                      4 out of 5 stars Excellent FM handbook for 2001 and beyond.......2001-05-07

There are high level topics such as Strategic Facility Planning, Sustainable Design, Portfolio Management and Business Transformation. Also very detailed, nuts & bolts for topics such as Financial Management for FM's, Energy Management, System Implementation for CMMS (Maintenance systems, Benchmarking, Condition Assessment, and case studies for CAFM technology. Brief chapter summaries are provided to assist reader with content coverage. There are lots of graphics/figures which help readability of this thick book, as well as a CD with websites and templates for RFP's, standards and process related functions.

                      We always have the excuse by saying, "I will do this tomorrow!" This book will help you how to get your life back together. Recommended.

                      5 out of 5 stars A Timesaver and Lifesaver.......2007-04-04

                      Organization is a breeze with these great tips. Best of all, they are very easy to implement in your own home.

                      5 out of 5 stars must read for two wage-earner households.......2007-01-05

                      Today, with both members of many households working, organization at home is a must if we are to have any leisure time at all to enjoy. Laura's tips for getting things done at home and organizing your life are to the point, practical, and, most importantly, easy to remember and easy to implement. Laura has provided numerous articles for OfficeOurs magazine, all of which have been very popular with our office manager and office worker readers. There is good reason she is in such demand as a speaker and we are looking forward to her keynote presentation at our annual office manager conference and future articles and books.

                      5 out of 5 stars These books are actually fun to read, and the ideas are easy to implement! .......2006-08-11

                      I have two of her productivity books, and recently saw her speak. I can only say this- she knows her stuff! Her systems are lifesavers and best of all she lives by the systems she teaches. Her books are the most fun read of any 'organizer'type books I have found (I have shelves of them that I started but never finished because they bored me or made no sense).

                      Recently I had the opportunity to be at a training where Laura spoke on organization and finding more time, I attended two of her sessions and they were incredible. She has a terrific sense of humor and so many great examples. And unlike those speakers who spend their time selling their merchandise or systems, you really know she is there because she wants to help people enhance their ability to get organized. I highly reccomend her as a speaker for any event you have.

                      5 out of 5 stars Help for overwhelmed moms and dads.......2006-07-16

                      This book is a great resource for anyone who is overwhelmed by the stuff of life. I'm a work-at-home mom, but I'm extremely organizationally challenged. Because my "work" and my "home" all involve a multitude of jobs, I'm constantly sidetracked and distracted. I run around a lot, but often have little show for it. I did like "Leave the Office Earlier", but "Find More Time" was really what I was looking for as it covers everything that clogs up my brain and helps me sort it out with easy to follow tasks. I saw myself in the section about how "to-do's" are often "projects" and don't get done because they require too many steps. Now, my challenge is to implement and USE the ideas offered by Laura.

                      5 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Book on Global EPC Issues.......2007-05-06

                      A comprehensive book covering every topic on International Engineering, Procurement, and Construction. It is well written, easy to read and very well structured and organized. The author has taken a non-technical approach by touching on personal aspect and pragmatic things such as impact of kidnapping, terror, etc. The only area left for improvement is that the author needs to elaborate more on some of the topics and include data on the recent mega projects in the Gulf area.
