Great reference.......2007-01-09
This book makes a great reference for those that use business formulas on a normal basis. It presents all the normally used formulas in a single book and some special use formulas also. A must for any business library.
Set up your books so performance can be measured.......2006-05-08
This is not an easy-read book. It is much like a cookbook - there are all kinds of recipes (formulas) identified and explained. A must-read for anyone who wants to start, run, and grow a business.
After reading this book you should be impressed with the fact that every business can be viewed as a database of numbers (statistics). The quality of the databases will vary, often significantly, but all businesses can build quality databases if they so desire. If they do, then they can take advantage of the priceless information included in this book.
I used to work for a small company that refused to keep accurate accounting records. All they worried about it seemed was the cash flow schedule so they could pay their bills. I tried to impress upon them the importance of well-kept books so the health status of the business could always be identified quickly, and strategic planning could be performed to increase profitability or to pursue growth pursuant to a plan. If they had kept books as I suggested, then they wold have been able to take advantage of the book I'm reviewing here.
By reading this book and taking note of the financial data necessary to plug and chug the formulas, you will be knowledgeable about how to set up your accounting records on Quickbooks Pro or whatever other accounting software your company uses. And the better those accounts are set up, the better you will be able to use the information provided in this book.
An excellent business resource.......2002-11-11
Business Ratios and Formulas, A Comprehensive Guide, is the most thorough reference book of its type. Steven Bragg provides a complete explanation of each business ratio and formula and follows each with a scenario example of their applications. Also provided is a discussion of how the resultant calculation can be misleading or should be used in conjunction with other ratios. I have not seen this feature in any other book of its kind.
Another excellent feature of the book is the chapter on "Measurement Analysis with an Electronic Spreadsheet", which describes the use of Microsoft Excel to assist the business professional in automating the analysis. Five types of analyses are included in this chapter: financial statements, project analysis, investment analysis, risk analysis and trend analysis.
In the introduction to the text Mr. Bragg states, "Even if a company has developed a reasonable set of measurements, this does not mean that they should never be changed." As a controller I am in the process of re-examining my company's measurement process. This book is an invaluable resource. Excellent for both the professional and student. A book I wish I had during my MBA studies.

Book Description
Figures of Finance Capitalism brings into focus the Victorian narratives by major middle-class writers that portray the workings of finance capitalism, placing such an interest in the context of middle-class misgivings about a class system still dominated by a patrician elite. This book illustrates the centrality of finance capitalism to the mid-Victorian middle-class social imagination by discussing a selection of major Victorian texts by Dickens, Gaskell, Thackeray and Macaulay. It draws on several new perspectives on British history, as offered in the work of historians such as Tom Nairn, David Cannadine, and P.J. Cain and A.G. Hopkins.

My last hope for the test.......2007-09-05
I read other comments for this book that make me buyed..I hope so, but
this is not a cover all Windows book..So those optimistics comments for the test results, looks too good to be the truth..
I will comeback for comments after I pass or not the test.
Thanks
Great study guide.......2007-08-23
This book is a big help. It comes with awesome free practice testing software that you would normally pay lots of money for. I highly recommend this book.
Fairly standard MS test prep book.......2007-08-09
I find the book very useful as a guide but by no means an exclusive means of effective test preparation. The included CD's are also of marginal use. The sample tests are decent as well.
Great Technical learning investment.......2007-03-09
I am still studying the Self Paced Training Kit from Microsoft, and getting so much information out of it. It's a challenging coarse, and it's very informational. It's also bringing up solutions to quistions I've had.And getting you prepared for the technical inviroment we will be working in. I would recomend this coarse for anyone that is interested in a help desk career and the technical information it gives you. A definate 5 star coarse.
MCDST Self-Paced Training Kit 70-271.......2007-02-18
I recently purchased this book with CDs to prepare for the 70-271 exam. After reading the book and working from the CDs, I passed the exam on the first try. It required learning all of the 146 practice questions, then the 311 Measure-Up questions. My only frustration was that the CD questions cover all sorts of topics about Windows 98 to XP issues (dual-boot, etc.) and the exam is much more "Up-To-Date." However, the book without the questions would not have prepared me at all for the exam.

Book Description
The Parent's Guide to Eating Disorders shows that effective solutions begin at home and cost little more than a healthy investment of time, effort, and love. Based on exciting new research, it differs from similar books in several key ways. Instead of concentrating on the grim, expensive hospital stays of patients with severe disorders, the authors focus on the family, teaching parents how to examine and understand their family’s approach to food and body-image issues and its effect their child’s behavior. Parents learn to identify an eating disorder early, to establish healthy attitudes toward food at a young age, and to intervene in a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental way. The authors concentrate on teens, the age group most often affected by eating disorders, as well as younger children. Individual chapters cover boys at risk, relapse training, dealing with friends, school, and summer camp, and much more. The book includes an appendix and sections on further reading, organizations and websites, residential and hospital programs, and references.

About the Author
Kate V. Saint Maur relates her personal experiences which commenced ten years ago (1895). Up to that time she had been a city woman, striving, like hundreds of others, to maintain appearances on housekeeping allowance which needed coaxing over every little bump of hospitality, to induce the two ends to meet. Through by chance, fate, providence or whatever name is preferred for the power which shapes our ends, led her to the Pet Stock and Poultry Show, and there it suddenly occurred to Mrs. Saint Maur that, instead of waiting for the acquisition of fortune to realize the desire, the desire might be made to help acquire some of the fortune. It was such a comfortable, invigorating inspiration that it enthused away all the obstacles suggested by a cautious husband, and his consent was won on condition that current expenses were not increased or capital risked.
Product Description
Speak To Me has earned a reputation as the highest quality self-study ESL video program available. It is designed as a self-instructional course for use at home, the office, or as a supplement to a school program. However, two or more students can work together at the same time.
Speak To Me makes ESL students THINK in English by challenging them. The video instructor shows simultaneous scenes and asks questions about them. From the images on the screen, students can make intelligent decisions and answer the questions. The material is designed to be interesting to both children and adults. The major emphasis in Speak To Me is on teaching students how to speak standard American English using high-frequency vocabulary. Behavioral scientists have shown that you can absorb a new language much more quickly when you are able to visualize the word being learned: that is, having an actual picture or action in your mind. Even if students have problems answering a question and must wait to hear the correct response from the video instructor, they will continue to think in English by associating the correct English word with the image on the screen. All of the images in Speak To Me are sequenced in logical order so students learn progressively. Speak To Me helps students store new images and words simultaneously as they see the object or action on the television screen and learn the words or expressions which refer to it.
Summary of Speak To Me Features:
The Speak To Me learning system is one of the fastest, easiest, and surest ways to learn English.
All you need is a VCR, a television, and the desire to learn English.
Learn quickly. You will find that you understand the basics of English almost immediately. Every day you will add new words and phrases to your vocabulary.
Speak To Me works for everyone! Beginners will be able to communicate effectively right away. Intermediate to advanced can use the video to improving vocabulary and refining their accents.
