Book Description
Rather than a history of the war and occupation of Indonesia during the years 1942-1945, Representing the Japanese Occupation of Indonesia offers a survey of the way in which Indonesia, Japan, and the Netherlands have shaped the memory of that episode.
Comparison of the memories in the three countries brings out the national patterns of memory. This volume gives an impression of the layered and pluriform nature of memory, and of the different forms of expression of memory, from the most personal level of oral testimony to the most public representation in monuments and films.
Book Description
An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets is the first book to explicitly show the linkages of markets for equities, currencies, fixed income and commodities. Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All math is simple, but there is lots of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of various market segments.
The book is aimed at entrants into investment banking and dealing businesses, existing personnel in non-trading jobs, and people outside of the financial services industry trying to gain a view into what drives dealers in today’s highly integrated marketplace. A committed reader is guaranteed to leave with a deep understanding of all current issues.
"This is an excellent introduction to the financial markets by an author with a strong academic approach and practical insights from trading experience. At a time when the proliferation of financial instruments and the increased use of sophisticated mathematics in their analysis, makes an introduction to financial markets intimidating to most, this book is very useful. It provides an insight into the core concepts across markets and uses mathematics at an accessible level. It equips readers to understand the fundamentals of markets, valuation and trading. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand the essentials of successfully trading, structuring or using the entire range of financial instruments available today."
—Varun Gosain, Principal, Constellation Capital Management, New York
"Robert Dubil, drawing from his extensive prior trading experience, has made a significant contribution by writing an easy to understand book about the complex world of today’s financial markets, using basic mathematical concepts. The book is filled with insights and real life examples about how traders approach the market and is required reading for anyone with an interest in understanding markets or a career in trading."
—George Handjinicolaou, Partner, Etolian Capital, New York
"This book provides an excellent guide to the current state of the financial markets. It combines academic rigour with the author’s practical experience of the financial sector, giving both students and practitioners an insight into the arbitrage pricing mechanism."
—Zenji Nakamura, Managing Director, Europe Fixed Income Division, Nomura International plc, London

Customer Reviews:
An excellent book by a well known professional.......2005-04-15
From someone who not only read the book but also worked for the author in the risk management field, I highly recommend this book, specifically for the clarity of style and good explanations.
Excellent undertaking!.......2004-12-27
Probably the single best introduction to financial markets' mechanics. The complex workings of the financial world are decomposed into simple building blocks, that have their foundation upon the principle of risk-sharing. Maybe of all books about hedge fund strategies, this is one of the clearest and most useful expositions of the principles upon which absolute return strategies are based - even though it has no magic 'hedge fund' words in its title to capture the reader's attention. Amid a flood of useless marketing stuff about hedge funds (including some of the works of Dr. Nicholas) and extremely boring expositions of minute details about the institutional and regulatory details of various markets this is a very good achievement indeed. Although truly sophisticated readers would probably want to look elsewhere, this book gives you something essential, which painfully misses from many fields of modern knowledge - a broad picture, without which we risk not to see the wood for the trees.
Product Description

This law school casebook is intended for use in a basic course on the substantive criminal law. The major emphasis in this casebook is upon what is usually referred to as the "general part" of the criminal law, mental state and act, responsibility, justification and excuse, inchoate crimes and liability for the conduct of another. There is also special emphasis upon the actual and potential contributions of the legislative branch in resolving the difficult policy questions that exist in this field.
Customer Reviews:
It won't help you understand Law & Order on a much deeper level, but it does get you started on some criminal law issues.......2007-03-27
I was not expecting to focus so much on mental states in criminal law, and thought we would start with elements of crimes (similar to learning about intentional torts). However, as the description indicates, this book focuses a lot on mental states, etc. As a first-year law student, I find this to be one of my least favorite textbooks. Perhaps criminal law cases are difficult by their nature since there are often constitutional issues, but the notes after the cases do little to clear some of the fog. One other annoying aspect of this book is the tiny margins (3/4 of an inch!), which make it hard to write notes in the cases as you're reading them. I think the concepts are becoming clearer, but this book could have done a better job shepherding students through introductory criminal law.
Product Description
Contains an overview of the criminal justice process including the nature and scope of the Fourteenth Amendment, due process, retroactivity, the federal "supervisory power," and state rights protection. Also touches on the right to counsel, transcripts, and other aids such as poverty, equality, and the adversary system. Includes reflections on the police, courts, and the criminal process. Provides insight into pretrial release, the decision whether to prosecute, the preliminary hearing, and the grand jury review. Looks at reprosecution and the ban against double jeopardy.
Customer Reviews:
Definitely thorough........2004-12-10
You have to give the editors some credit--it only took around 1600+ pages to cover everything you'd ever want to know about criminal procedure. Seriously, though, I feel this casebook does a better job than most. As expected, it puts in the edited text of the seminal cases, but the casebook does the best between the cases. The notes that follow the cases are incredibly comprehensive. Instead of just adding a couple of squib cases, the notes seem to take the reader down the complete path(s) of the law since the case. It's a great resource, but it the level of detail makes straight reading kind of hairy... but hey. Last time I checked, people don't read casebooks for pleasure.
Maybe the true solution is an extension from 4 credits to 8........2000-01-30
This text is not only voluminous, it is quite dense. While it looks and feels as exciting as Evidence, when you turn the pages, it has a tendency to bore. Needs more case law and less editorial bashing of both students and advocates. xoxo Snuffy
Customer Reviews:
useful material.......2007-03-08
needed this book for a course and it was useful- especially since it was a required book...and much cheaper than the University bookstore.
Product Description
This casebook presents up-to-date materials on the complex reality of modern American criminal law. It includes edited cases and statutes, substantial chapter introductions, and highlights on pedagogical approaches (e.g., rules v. standards). Organized with cross-references to highlight connections, clear conceptual structure, and consideration of Model Penal Code throughout. Cases on recent developments include sentencing guidelines, internet crime, white collar crime, drug offenses, possession offenses, hate crimes, victims' rights, state v. federal power, executive v. legislative criminal lawmaking, and the "war on terror." Also includes materials on common crimes such as shoplifting, traffic offenses, and collateral effects of drug convictions.
Customer Reviews:
Worst textbook I have ever used!.......2007-02-22
It's an American Criminal Law textbook that deals more with the Penal law of other countries and philosophy than the actual guts of the American Criminal system. God help you if your professor actually assigns this book. If so, buy one of the outline books or something like that. You'd be more likely to learn from that than this.
what a deal!.......2005-09-22
This was a brand new book with CD that I purchased for about 1/4 of the list price. I received it very quickly.
Customer Reviews:
Law student?.......2006-03-03
If you are in law school and this book is on your mandatory reading list, you can't go wrong with it. If you are not in law school and learning the law on your own, you can probably find a book better suited to your needs.
