really got me thinking about my options.......1999-11-05
This book covers tons of different issues related to moving to and working in the country. It has great worksheets to figure out what you want and need, and I loved the section with maps of different aspects of different parts of the country. But there were also sections that were way too detailed and technical for what I was looking for. Still I really enjoyed it and found it very helpful.

Intriguing Expose of CDOs .......2006-01-05
The volume of collateralized debt obligations has ramped up so rapidly in recent years that the level of expertise needed to transact business in these products competently is very uneven. Experts often disagree on the basic terminology. Both of these related problems are linked to a third problem - opportunities for fraud. Tavakoli addresses this market's growing pains in this book.
Tavakoli tackles terminology at the very beginning and objects to the lazy practice of using the term "arbitrage" to refer to any hedged position that has made money such as referring to a long bond position being "arbitraged" by a short sale. A true arbitrage is a risk-free profit opportunity. Arbitrage language in the CDO context helps parties hide from themselves the fluctuating nature of the profit (and loss) conditions that they actually face. This is also true of "delta" hedging.
This is a recurring theme in this book: Participants first need to get the words right in order to get the concepts right, and they have to do both in order to get the numbers right. Another example is the "dual currency swap." A borrower receives one currency, pays coupons in another currency and has a final exchange of principal in a third currency. "Borrowers often perform this swap when they want to lower their all-in borrowing costs by taking on more currency risk," Ms. Tavakoli explains.
But the term "dual currency swap" also is used quite broadly for transactions in which fixed-rate bonds denominated in one currency simply are swapped for floating-rate bonds denominated in another. Ms. Tavakoli suggests that her readers should not assume that market professionals know the correct terminology. "Ask for the cash flow structure in writing, so you can determine the cash flows to see if they are consistent with the terminology as you understand it."
Tavakoli introduces a valuable distinction between timing and frequency, both terms important to the clear understanding of the cash flow that a contemplated transaction will produce. "It is not sufficient to state that I will get all of my cash back within the year," Ms. Tavakoli writes, explaining the distinction. "This is merely the timing of my ultimate receipt of cash flows. I want to know the frequency. Will I receive the cash flow in one lump sum toward the year-end, in equal monthly payments, or in a varied stream of payments over the course of the year? I'm not indifferent. This is why I emphasize timing and frequency."
This is an intriguing book. The market in collateralized debt obligations is complicated, subject to a miasma of human frailties. Hedge funds have entered this market in droves, particularly the synthetic market, and banks curry their favor as customers and competitors. As Tavakoli points out "find ways to become comfortable with alternative investors ... because this customer base is a key consumer of leveraged risk. They do not have the same regulatory capital constraints as banks."
Hedgers Manual.......2006-01-04
This book gives the best explanation I've ever read of the cash and synthetic collateralized debt obligations markets. Especially clear is the extra cash injection due to the large synthetic super senior tranche, which does not exist in the cash market. Tavakoli's book is the only one that discusses the language arbitrage and rating ambiguity. As a quant and delta hedger, I would have liked more on correlation trading and delta hedging, since this book pre-dates this, but the overview of how the cash flows work is excellent.
Creates More Questions than it Answers.......2006-01-03
Poorly written - poorly edited

Its more a collection of disjointed notes and facts than a book

Straight Steering in Structured Finance.......2005-02-20
Even the experts have trouble understanding the various complex structures in the collateralized debt obligation market. In this book, Tavakoli does for CDOs what she did for Credit Derivatives. She makes sense of the confusing terminology, shines a bright light on the key issues, and discusses how to avoid the potential for fraud.
She clarifies what the rating agencies miss. For instance, in a dispute between a German bank and a British bank that was recently settled in London, the British bank was alleged to have misled the buyer and then taken advantage of the buyer by substituting fallen angels into the CDO portfolio. Rating agencies don't capture this type of risk. Tavakoli explains how ratings won't save investors, but paying careful attention to the portfolio trading constraints in the deal documentation will. She recommends rewriting any "standard" document that doesn't adequately protect an investor's interest by adding trading rules and restrictions (if it is allowed at all), reserve accounts, and other structural protections.
She also debunks the term CDO "arbitrage." This "arbitrage" is not risk-free for the investment banks who arrange these deals, but using this term gives comfort to bank managers who may be unaware of the hidden volatility in their trading portfolios. Very inconvenient when one can't transfer the risk to an unwary investor's portfolio. Tavakoli points out that single tranche CDOs in which one is long the super senior and equity and short the mezzanine tranche can turn the trading book into a delta hedging parking lot. She also points out that CDOs squared put you at risk for having some of the least advantageous structures stuffed as collateral into a portfolio. If it requires diligence and rewriting the documents to get a fair deal in a CDO, why would you accept tranches from deals that you didn't have a chance to rework? Put in this context, buyers of those types of deals should demand a huge premium. These deals are beyond the scope of meaningful ratings, and nearly impossible to properly model in the secondary market.
The language is precise, and as she points out it can even be more important than understanding the numbers, since overwhelming risk can come from inadequate documentation. If you are an investor, don't venture into the world of collateralized debt obligations without reading this book. If you are trading these tranches, this book will give you details about these products you won't find anywhere else.
Where was the editor?.......2004-09-02
As a novice to securitizations, I can't speak about the merits of this book in comparison to its peers. However, I will say that it is neither a reference book nor a novel. The overall structure and organization of the book was horrendous with stories leading nowhere and technical examples blurted out onto the page without thought to a fundamental theme or why they were offered. An example is not a good teaching lesson if it doesn't relate to a fundamental point.
I don't blame the author because she is obviously skilled and well informed. I do blame the editor for not reviewing the book more carefully. Wiley shame on you!
Book Description
Organized along product lines, the book will analyze many of the original classes of structured assets, including mortgage- and asset-backed securities and strips, as well as the newest structured and synthetic instruments, including exchange-traded funds, credit derivative-based collateralized debt obligations, total return swaps, contingent convertibles, and insurance-linked securities.
Two introductory chapters will outline the scope of the market, key definitions, participant motivations/goals, economics of structuring and synthetic replication, and the central "building blocks" used in the creation of synthetic/structured assets (including on-balance sheet assets and liabilities, derivatives, shelf registration debt programs, private placements, trusts, and special purpose entities). Eight product chapters will then examine the main instruments of the marketplace: mortgage- and asset-backed securities, stripped/reconstituted government securities, collateralized debt obligations, structured notes, insurance-linked securities, exchange-traded funds, convertible bond variations, and derivatives/synthetic asset replication. Each product chapter will contain product descriptions, structural features (e.g., trading conventions, settlement), arbitrage/investment drivers, and various worked examples and diagrams that emphasize practical investment and risk applications; financial mathematics will be kept to a minimum. A concluding chapter will review the essential risk, legal, regulatory, and accounting features of synthetic and structured assets in the world's major markets.

An Excellent Primer on the Law.......2000-06-27
Prior to entering law school, I began searching for a layperson's primer on the law. I specifically wanted a comprehensive and complete overview of the American legal system devoid of legalese. Two weeks of effort yielded less than spectacular results so I contacted Professor Fowler (B.A. Dartmouth, M.A. University of Virginia, J.D. Harvard Law School). He assured me "With Justice for All?" fit the bill.
It is indeed a thorough work. Written primarily as an introduction to the law for undergraduates, Professor Fowler's approach seamlessly blends the various aspects of the legal system with practical examples, personal experiences, and common sense application. Topics include civil procedure, criminal procedure, the jury, attorneys, the police, the judiciary, and other subjects of immediate relevance. Of particular interest is the glossary which provides plain english definitions for a wide range of legal terminology.
I highly recommend "With Justice for All?" to all pre-law undergraduates, prospective law school students, and all laypersons wishing to develop a deeper knowledge of our legal system. Professor Fowler provides a solid foundation for understanding both the complexities of the law and the application of its precepts.
Book Description
Long neglected in the study of criminal justice, this look at women and minorities explores the concepts of equality among the races and gender, and what it truly means to have justice for all. A wide range of topics examines all the issues impacting women and minorities and presents readers with a solid basis from which they can explore themselves and the society in which they live. The non-traditional literature espouses a commitment to eliminate all discrimination and demonstrates that women and minorities both deserve their dignity and their right to be treated as anyone else—and by any aspect of government, including that of the criminal justice system. For women, minorities, and all people who believe that everyone is entitled to the same consideration as everyone else.
Book Description
The third edition of With Literacy and Justice for All: Rethinking the Social in Language and Education continues to document Carole Edelsky's long involvement with socially critical, holistic approaches to the everyday problems and possibilities facing teachers of language and literacy. This book helps education professionals understand the educational/societal situations they are dealing with, and literacy instruction and second language learning in particular contexts. Edelsky does not offer simplistic pedagogical formulas, but rather, progressively works through differences and tensions in the discourses and practices of sociolinguistics, bilingual education, whole language, and critical pedagogy--fields whose practitioners and advocates too often work in isolation from each other and, at times, at cross purposes.
In this edition, what Edelsky means by rethinking is improving and extending her own views, while at the same time demonstrating that such rethinking always occurs in the light of history. The volume includes a completely new Introduction and two entirely new chapters: one on reconceptualizing literacy learning as second language learning, and another on taking an historical view of responses to standardized testing. Throughout, in updating the volume, Edelsky uses a variety of structural styles to note contrasts in her views across time and to make the distinction clear between the original material and the current additions. This edition is a rare example of a scholarly owning-up to changes in thinking, and a much needed demonstration of the historically grounded nature of knowledge. As a whole, the third edition emphasizes recursiveness and questioning within a deliberately political framework.
Book Description
From "one of the most powerful women in Washington" (Washingtonian) and a "legend and leader," (Vanity Fair) comes a book that concerns the future of our country, our society, and our world.
Catalyzed by the trauma of a pre-Roe v. Wade abortion, which required the consent of the husband who deserted her and a hospital panel made up entirely of men, Kate Michelman devoted her life to protecting the rights of women and children. Serving from 1985 until 2004 as the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, she succeeded in moving the question "Who Decides?" to the mainstream, transforming the political debate, and defining a woman's freedom to choose as a fundamental American liberty. Today, the appointment of a single anti-choice judge to the Supreme Court threatens to eviscerate Roe's protections, forcing women to live at the whim of politicians and further limiting their reproductive rights.
With Liberty and Justice for All is an urgent wake-up call to American women to defend their freedom in its hour of greatest danger written by one of the most respected and inspiring leaders of our times. Important and intensely personal, it is not just a book about abortion, but a book about freedom, about bringing children into the world under the best possible circumstances, and about a woman's right to assume her equal place in American society.

If you're REALLY interested in this stuff..........2006-11-09
The current state of the Abortion debate remains a sad example of how an issue with far reaching human ramifications can be hijacked by a bunch of loons hell bent on shouting at eachother rather than engaging in discourse. Michelman has done more than her share to make the debate vitriolic; her insistence that naral supported politicos utilize the term "anti-choice", for example, makes clear her utter contempt for those who possess the opposing viewpoint. If you are interested in exploring different perspectives on this issue, check out The Hand of God: A Journey from Death to Life by Bernard Nathanson. A former abortionist, Nathanson was an original cofounder of Naral. It's a more solemn read, a guilt-ridden text recounting a nihilistically hedonistic life that ultimately replaced the madness of abortion as casual birth control, with the madness of blind religious zealotry. It makes a good companion piece to Michelman's self congratulatory, back slappy hodge-podge of cherry picked horror stories and mind-numbing proclaimations. BTW, I see that the pro-choicers are monitoring this listing and posting "unhelpful" follow up to honest reviews like mine. Pity. You'd think the fact that no devoutly pro-abortion rights candidate has ever garnered a majority in a presidential election might cue them in that their approach isn't working.
Pro-choice is Pro-Life.......2006-06-06
The novel is about Michelman, who was president of NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) from 1985 to 2004, goes into the details of not only her personal experiences with abortion, but how she fought to keep it legal. Michelman starts with her own fight for an abortion and then dives into the battles over the nominations of Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas. She discusses those who tried to overturn Roe v. Wade, as well as discusses how "pro-lifers" often turned to burning down abortion clinics, and had hit lists with names of doctors who preformed legal abortions. Michelman ends the novel with her description of the 2004 March for Women's Lives in DC. Personally, I felt that this book was inspirational and showed us that putting effort into a cause can make a huge difference. As someone who is also pro-choice I owe my ability to make decisions about my body in part to Michelman.
Her Compassion Shines Through.......2006-04-19
This book is not only an engaging account of how a brilliant mind orchestrates a fight for justice--it's a healing book to read. Kate Michelman's genius is in her reasonableness. The other side is not reasonable. Her strength lies in that she listens. The other side does not listen. She fights with quiet persistence. She hears the pro-lifers' words; she respects that there are some people out there who believe a clump of cells the size of the head of a pin is a human being whose rights trump those of the woman carrying it. In answer, she says quietly, persistently to these Advocates of Forced Birth--But there's a woman there. Not a host. Not an environment. Not soil. A human still in possession of rights, and no, I will not let you legislate them away. KM has startling patience with those who believe a woman's human rights have vanished because her birth control failed. This book makes it so clear who's listening-- and who isn't. Something else that came through strongly in this book is the truth that birth is a creative act that a woman carries out, an immense undertaking that can't succeed without her full cooperation, her wisdom, her skill, her love. She must be an active participant--not a passive receptacle, not the captive of another's will. It is KM's gentle persistence in the face of the barbarity of her opponents that is so powerful. The other side is anything but gentle. A rapist uses a woman's body for his pleasure. A pro-lifer uses a woman's body to act out narrow, irrational religious convictions. Both freely trample her will, leave her physically injured, psychically brutalized. Wise, too, is the title --With Liberty and Justice for All-- for nothing less is at stake. But outrage will not win the fight. KM's relentless reasonableness just might.
Powerful case for choice.......2006-03-15
I was very impressed by this book. Prior to reading it, I was (moderately) pro-life. Michelman convinced me I was wrong. She makes an eloquent argument for the pro-choice side. I highly recommend this book to anyone with an open mind on the abortion issue. I would quibble with a few of her arguments- e.g. parental notification, but I still think she makes a strong case.
Reproductive rights warrior.......2006-03-03
This book felt like a shot of reality through my understanding of what is going on in the political world that involves abortion rights.Like many in my generation I had no clue what kind of actual threat we are actually facing. The book reads like a clarifying account of the challenges for reproductive rights advocates have to face when fighting the anti-choice zealots. More women need to undertsand the current situation, and I'd recommend starting here with this book.

New Frontiers for Youth Development in the Twenty-First Century
ASIN: 0231120419 |
Book Description
When it comes to social work practice in community outreach programs, in juvenile detention centres, in prisons, in parole and probation programs, and in the inner cities, Melvin Delgado asks the question: Where are all the young men and women of color? Although many urban residents, especially persons of color, are or have been involved in the juvenile and/or criminal justice system, the topic of criminal offenders and ex-offenders has been much neglected by the human services literature. This book stands as the only work to discuss correctional supervision and the needs of individuals in a nonprescriptive manner, marking a shift toward a capacity enhancement, or strengths perspective, approach -- specifically what are the strengths of individuals and how can they capitalize on them? Delgado includes a section of reflections from the field that applies capacity enhancement principles and methods to case studies.
