More about making packages than making movies........1996-10-09
The market has changed a bit since Harmon first wrote about
packaging but the basics are still in effect. She offers a lot
of detail about "selling" your movies before you make them, which
is the only recourse for a lot of micro-budget filmmakers.

It's a pity ..........2000-09-25
... that this book has gone out of print, for it's great fun. Personalities (from Jacob Bronowski to Aleister Crowley), history, records (worst result in a blindfold simul?), chess variants and more. If you can find a used copy of this (or of its predecessor, "The Complete Chess Addict"), grab it!

Cram 101, Not worth the price !!!.......2007-08-28
This Cram 101 book is really not worth the price. You are much better off getting the study guide. All this book has is a bunch of words (terminology) used in the text and the meanings with blank pages for you to add notes. I ordered the textbook, this Cram 101 book and the study guide hoping to gain as much knowledge as possible for this Corporation Finance Course that I am taking as a requirement for my degree program. I was disappointed in this Cram101 Textbook outline book. I think the Study Guide is by far the better value of the two books. Don't waste your money on this thinking that it will help you study or cram for exams etc. It will not! Take it from me, as I wasted 20 bucks on this book.
Great Seller.......2007-03-11
Book came brand new with all additional papers as promised! Thanks a bunch!
an excellent starter for anyone interested in finance.......2006-04-17
This was my first textbook in corporate finance at the undergraduate university level (I have the 2nd edition). I found it fairly easy to understand but rigorous enough to motivate me to want to learn more. I now manage instituional portfolios of over $3 billion in bonds and derivatives, and I still refer to it today, nearly 20 years later.
A Useful Book For My Work.......2003-05-16
The person I bought this book for found it very useful for his studies and the attached Cd-ROM very useful with its chapter reviews and tests.
Far too easy.......2001-12-13
The book is far too easy for professionals and for university students. The blanks exercises are really stupid. If you are not experienced in mathematics or statistics you will probably like the book because there are no derivations of formules or demonstrations of theorems.
Book Description

Excellent mix of theory and applied work........2000-02-12
This book is the perfect liasion between the microeconomics realm of information economics and the real world of banking and financial intermediation. It supplies a healthy dose of microeconomic theory to fully understand the underlying features of the most common financial instruments used in modern banking practice, all explained thoroughly with down to earth narratives and doable math/game theoretic instruments. It makes a wonderful preview before going on with Freixas text, or at least as its companion.

Book Description
This book concentrates on one of the most important directions for research on banking and finance for the next decade: the problem of information and risk management. Recent theoretical and empirical contributions consider asymmetric information between investors and financiers as a major determinant of financial risk. In this framwork, financial and banking innovation may be regarded as policy and individual agents' response to the problem of asymmetric information and risk management and also as a self-generated innovation process posing new challenges to policymakers in terms of informational efficiency and risk control.

An Interesting and Enjoyable Read.......2004-11-24
Financial Alchemy is written with an easy and enjoyable style that makes a potentially difficult subject fascinating. You do not need a lot of prior knowledge about financial instruments to follow it as he clearly explains the basic hows and whys of each of them. Also, he interweaves relevant anecdotal text that has you smiling as you learn. My primary complaint is that the overall structure of the material makes it a bit difficult to see the themes of the book until you are well into the material. Despite this, I highly recommend it and will probably read it a second time.
Well Worth Reading........2004-08-26
Read this well documented book if you are a currency trader and you want to learn a well researched history of currency markets. You'll have a better understanding of "behind closed doors" government intervention and what to watch for on the news. A little difficult to read at times due to its depth, but well worth it for the fundmental knowledge gained.
A book everyone needs to read.......2004-02-10
Talk about a book that everyone should read, but no one will, this is it. A terrific, plain language explanation of the origins of money and how understanding money leads to political sophistication and concommitant societal benefits.
This book makes many cogent arguments that deal with war and external defense, interior political and civil stabilty, the societal need for a stable currency, the need for a rule of law to protect private property rights, and the implications of the velocity and movements of global currency trading. It does a great job of explaning financial derivitives, options, inflation, debasement of the currency via political corruption, and financial globalization of trade and currencies.
It contains a marvelous retelling of history thru the eyes of a currency sophisticate, one who incorporates a history of revolutions, and the subsequent rebuildings of the societies that gain prominence in their aftermath.
The backdrop for this fascinating tale is the rise of the micro-chip, the story of the digital revolution. This running-wild tale illustrates how technology has outstripped the ability of dictators to throttle it, and how society has commensurately reaped the benefits. It's a paradigm for the future and deserves to be more widely understood. It has shaken up the strangle hold of one political philosophy ruling the media, and in the future it will reform tort law and academia. It's all here for those willing to study it.
Read it!
A review of this Great Book........2001-08-10
This book, although presenting complex concepts, is easy to understand through is storytelling type narrative. It talks very in an engaging and human manner of topics and concepts and written otherwise be considered too esoteric for the layman. This book is good if your interested in finance and trading, as well as the new financial weapons of traders that are (really) more powerful than politicians could ever be. I am probably biased, but the book is so good. It is even relevant today, even years after it was written. The book's analysis of past events, such as the reasons for the rocketing jump in Treasury bond yields in 1994 or the reasons behind the crash of the ERM are excellent.
adventures in currency trading.......2001-02-13
I found this book difficult to follow at times. However, it was very informative about the history of currency and options trading. This is a very interesting history. A greek philosopher, a secret love affair which resulted in a duel to the death and extensive pilitical corruption all took part in this history. This political corruption involved governments inflating the value of their countrys currency. A few people realized what the government was up to. These people are the "Rebel Currency traders." This book is about their cause to take away the power of the government to set the value of their country's currency, and give the power to the international market. The book is worth reading.

WOW!!.......2004-04-03
This is an incredible--and credible--fact based view of what's really going on in the economy. Mr. Osenton has clearly done his homework, and presents this fresh material in a very insightful and enjoyable read.
The best business book I have read since Peter's "In Search of Excellence" two deacdes ago.
Bravo!
A Remarkable Piece of Work.......2004-03-09
This book is not only a wonderful read and an impressive history of business during the second half of the 20th century, but it presents the most logical understanding as to why corporations, industries - the entire economy - is having such a difficult time growing. The irony that Osenton points out is that we are victims of our own success - pushing for more and more consumption - and getting it! - only to begin to approach levels of saturation. He points out that there are currently more than 32 million more registered vehicles in the United States than there are licensed drivers! Talk about surplus. For the first time ever, someone has explained WHY - beyond the simple explanation of greed - that corporations are cooking their books in order to make the numbers. It's because their respective top lines are lifeless, and they have squeezed every penny, every productivity gain they could out of the corporation. Death of Demand helped me completely understand why employees are paying for earnings growth with their jobs - jobs that are either being cut altogether or sent overseas. What a spectacular analysis of our current economic condition. Bravo!

Book Description
This report investigates the presentation and analysis of financial information in 41 UK Manufacturing companies. Traditional and contemporary accounting techniques are exemplified in the case studies. With old and new techniques explored, the research shows that there is little that is new in management accounting theory and practice. The study concludes that there is not one set of practices which all should follow.
·Cima research report - reveals methods currently used for reporting financial information in UK manufacturing companies.
·Based on 41 companies, it shows a rich diversity of reporting practices that are constrained neither by the financial accounting requirements of SSAP9 nor by any sense of general management accounting trends.
