Hello,
Robert Hashemian here, author of the book. Obviously you can ignore my own rating for the book. No surprise that I think it's a pretty good book.
You can also read this book online at www.hashemian.com and decide for yourself.

Learned much.......2002-01-18

This was the second book I read on financial markets. There is a wealth of information on all kinds of financial stuff.
I specially liked the Options chapter. I think the Stocks chapter was an overkill but still there was much useful info.
Pretty organized and fairly unbiased. The retirement piece at the end of the book was definitely underdone but I don't think this book was meant to cover retirement anyways.
The author doesn't try to portray the financial markets as a road to riches. He lets the reader draw his own conclusions from the topics covered. An educational read overall.

A must read for anyone with money.......2001-12-28

I learned a great deal from this book and I can tell you it is worth every cent of its price, which I considered high before purchasing. The author has a very creative style and yet is able to explain even the most complicated information in an easy to understand and often humorous way. Even if you don't think you will take advantage of all the knowledge you will gain from reading it, I suggest you do read it all, as you never know what may prove useful in the future.

Like it or not, getting ahead in the workplace has always been as much about whom you know as what you know--and the youth-oriented media and consulting company Vault Reports now takes the art of connecting with those who can further this professional ascension to new heights in its Guide to Schmoozing: Insider Advice on Making Contacts and Building Rapport to Boost Your Career. Derived from the Yiddish expression for talking informally, "schmoozing," according to the firm's editorial team, "is the development of a support system, a web of people you know who you can call, and who can call you, for your mutual benefit and enjoyment. Schmoozing is the art of semi-purposeful conversation: half chatter, half exploration. Schmoozing is neither project nor process. It's a way of life." Through informative sections like "Do your research," "Listen up!", and "Starting the conversation," it offers fundamental advice in a lighthearted but realistic manner. Through pointed interviews with famous schmoozers such as author George Plimpton and attorney Bob Bennett, as well as non-celebrity schmoozers including CNN producer Sid Lipsey and Mark Kay Cosmetics Texas sales director Bridgett Bailee, it shows how schmoozing works in real life. --Howard Rothman

Pass This One Up.......2002-07-15

This book was a waste of time and money. The book does not give any direct advice, just suggests the obvious. At one point, the authors even suggest taking up smoking to shmooze with your smoking boss.

I would recommend looking for a book by Aye Jaye. I believe it's called the Golden Rules of Shmoozing. Much more informative and direct than this vault book.

Buyer Beware.......2002-03-25

Waste of money. It points out many things obvious to the average reader. Book totally lost my interest and was extremely boring. The Vault staff has a good library of books (i.e. Vault guide to Finance), but this one was a disappointment.

A really good beginners guide.......2000-05-24

This book is a good starting point for those people who are just beginning to build their networks. It gives practical advice on how to start schmoozing as well as how to get better at it. Terrific.

The best 'schmoozing' book on the market.......1999-05-26

Unlike most of the networking/schmoozing books on the market, this is first one I've read that does not insult the reader's intelligence. And it's a funny, always a bonus.

Amazing.......1998-10-29

The brief chapter on Erik Jorgensen was completely inspirational to me. Plenty of topnotch insights in this book.

Book Description

One spirit, Ten cocktails, and Four Centuries of American History

And a Bottle of Rum tells the raucously entertaining story of America as seen through the bottom of a drinking glass. With a chapter for each of ten cocktails—from the grog sailors drank on the high seas in the 1700s to the mojitos of modern club hoppers—Wayne Curtis reveals that the homely spirit once distilled from the industrial waste of the exploding sugar trade has managed to infiltrate every stratum of New World society.

Curtis takes us from the taverns of the American colonies, where rum delivered both a cheap wallop and cash for the Revolution, to the plundering pirate ships off the coast of Central America, to the watering holes of pre-Castro Cuba, and to the kitsch-laden tiki bars of 1950s America. Here are sugar barons and their armies conquering the Caribbean, Paul Revere stopping for a nip during his famous ride, Prohibitionists marching against “demon rum,” Hemingway fattening his liver with Havana daiquiris, and today’s bartenders reviving old favorites like Planter’s Punch. In an age of microbrewed beer and single-malt whiskeys, rum—once the swill of the common man—has found its way into the tasting rooms of the most discriminating drinkers.

Awash with local color and wry humor, And a Bottle of Rum is an affectionate toast to this most American of liquors, a chameleon spirit that has been constantly reinvented over the centuries by tavern keepers, bootleggers, lounge lizards, and marketing gurus. Complete with cocktail recipes for would-be epicurean time-travelers, this is history at its most intoxicating.

Customer Reviews:

And I don't drink!.......2007-08-16

If history were always this well written, I would have been a history rather than literature major. I actually laughed out loud in a number of places, at the same time that I learned facts about 17th century to 21st century history and popular culture that were occasionally paradigm-shifting and always interesting. If you like rum, the recipes-through-history are an intriguing bonus. If you don't, you will still find much, much of value in this volume. Although rum is the focus, the social, political, military and historical dynamics affected by this and other liquors are the actual "plot." It is a legitimate and intriguing lens through which to view history, particularly when written by an academic who throws out the dry and dusty academic voice in favor of a learned, no-nonsense and yet often humorous one.

Liberal quotations bring contemporary voices to light, while duly considered authorial commentary places them in a reasonable context. I am not a historian, but the bibliography is sufficiently substantial to assure me of grounded research and neither the tone, factual content nor voice ever seems to be stretched to fit the "drink-by-drink" historical structure. This paragraph makes it seem dry (all puns aside, LOL), but this book most assuredly is not.

If you liked "Salt" or "Coal" or "Cod," you'll like this. More significantly, if you're feeling burned out on this kind of recently popular "slice" history, do *not* pass up this one. A must read for you, whether or not you like rum, and a great gift for others, particularly if they do like rum.

This rummy has his facts straight..........2007-05-05

Unfortunately, facts are all you will find in this book. (i.e. Why they call it Grog, Was there a real Captain Morgan, etc.) And that may be fine if you are writing trivial pursuit question cards, but not for story telling. The author covers a lot of events in this book, though doesn't go into the back story much. It's a little like reading a history textbook. The flow is very choppy. Almost like a PowerPoint presentation.

I think the book would best have been split into 10 books. That way the author could take his time to spin stories, build plot, and empathize characters. It wouldn't be the first time an author used a device like an in animate object (i.e. rum) to link characters, history, or events.

The literary devices the author neglected to evolve were numerous. For instance, the chapter on the Tiki trend had my interest piqued. By building upon the characters the author would have made events much more enthralling. I was left with the desire to learn more about them so now must seek out more books.

I haven't tried to concoct any of the rum elixirs listed in the back, but I remain hopeful about a few of them. Perhaps they will be the redeeming value in this average book. I'm not that hopeful.

Terrifically piquant entertainment.......2007-04-14

So rarely do I have a chance to read, but how I have appreciated the multitude of stories that form each chapter of this book. Rum brings to mind sleepy leisure, but its history is teeming with the characters and contexts that form this impression. There is so much information in this book, you are caught unawares by the elegant turn of phrase, beguiled into thinking about the mercantile demographics of the Caribbean economy.

You can pick it up and put it down and enjoy each chapter separately. Now that is a good book.

A fun way to combine history with drink recipes.......2007-01-20

I love this book, it is really fun to learn about history through an alcoholic beverage, and the recipes have been fun, too.

The Fascinating History of Rum.......2006-12-05

Rum, unlike other types of liquor stepped into the bars and in the drinking glasses rather late when compared to Scotch, Vodka, and its other cousins. Wayne Curtis takes you through the history of Rum, and its rise in popularity by exploring history through 10 different drinks. Rum is a wonderfully alive and flexible drink as it is perfectly acceptible for its preparation to vary greatly, unlike many of the other types of liquor that is drunk.

Orignally made from by products of the sugar manufactoring process, Rum was orignally drunk by the poor and the local people. Rum started off with no value and very little popularity. In time Rum manufactures would discover ways to made the drink better, and it rose in popularity.

Rum has gone from being a liquor made from a by-product of sugar manufactoring to where it is now a trendy drink in popular bars. Rum has done this through its flexible nature as it is the only type of liquor you can by in as many of varieties as you can. It can be found in light, dark, and spiced to name a few. Rum continues to evolve and change. Wayne Curtis does an excellent job of describing how an evolving drink continues to be popular today.

Romance in the Tropical Caribbean.......2004-05-05

Cassy Aden's parents died when she was quite young and she'd been taken in by her uncle, who had a daughter named Sylvia who was Cassy's age. Now the girls are 22 and Sylvia has gone off on a Caribbean vacation and refuses to come back and Cassy's uncle persuades Cassy to go and fetch her.

When Cassy arrives in the Bahamas she finds Sylvia having cocktails with a man named Justin. A man who reminds her of a soldier of fortune. After Justin leaves, Sylvia tells Cassy that she's told Justin that her best friend, Cassy, is after her father for his money. Cassy is stunned. Why would Sylvia be telling anybody that she was a gold digger? Well, to get sympathy from Justin, that's why. Sylvia needs Justin's help to get a job working as a caddy on the local golf course.

So you see how this romance is going to go. Cassy falls for Justin, Justin thinks she's a gold digger. She thinks Justin is just an ordinary guy, but is he?

This one was written back in 1978, the year I was born. I think I first read it when I was ten. I liked then, I still do and I think you will too.

Book Description

The sun caresses your skin as you gaze upon the sparkling turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Soft white sand cushions your toes, and willowy palms dance in the warm breezes. As you lift your drink, you inhale the sweet aromas of coconut and lime juice. No matter where you are, no matter what the season, Calypso Coolers conjures up the magic of tropical seaside ecstasy.

Like its predecessor, Mambo Mixers, this colorful collection of 50 cocktails and 20 appetizers inspired by the Caribbean is an invitation to party paradise. All the classic island libations are here—daiquiris, tropical punches, fruit martinis—along with equally tantalizing concoctions like the Dominican Hurricane, made with rum, passion fruit nectar, and pineapple juice; the Dark and Stormy, a mixture of rum and ginger beer; and the Brown Cow, a silky combination of milk and coffee liqueur. The accompanying snacks—from Juanita's Yuca Fritters to Puerto Rican Corn Sticks and Jamaican Jerk Chicken—feature local flavors that are as varied and vibrant as the area's people and offer a lively complement to the cocktails.

Illustrated with eye-catching photographs and complete with pairing and serving suggestions, Calypso Coolers will give every occasion that first-day-of-vacation feeling.

Reviewer: "Jesse's Girl" (LA/NY)

I had the pleasure of tasting Arlen Gargagliano's Mango Sangria at a recent Calypso Coolers book signing and couldn't resist buying the book. There was a 5 gallon jar of the stuff and it went so fast she had to keep refilling it! Arlen's cocktails not only look amazing, I can guarantee there won't be a dry glass at your next party. This caribbean inspired book is perfect for the summer - the drinks are delicious, easy to make and will give you lots of great ideas for both food and drink for BBQ's, pool parties and more. It's a great gift for anyone who's tired of plain beer and wine and wants to learn how to make a fabulous cocktail.

As Good to Get as to Give.......2007-04-30

I received this delightful book as a gift. The recipes are clear and easy to follow, and the resulting drinks and appetizers are delicious and festive. Family members and friends rave about their favorites; they ask for recipes. Now I'm giving the book as a gift myself.
