Book Description
This book applies John Maynard Keynes' theory of investor liquidity preferences to the examination of the stock market literature on the January effect and other seasonal anomalies. Keynes' theory provides a common theoretical framework and represents a paradigm shift for the examination of all seasonals. An extensive literature review is provided along with identification and empirical examinations of the intergenerational transfers hypothesis, special closings of the New York Stock Exchange, tax (estimated tax) payment effects, and an historical/contemporary retail merchandising industry seasonal. Databases used for empirical tests include the Stock Index and Market Seasonals (SIMS) database, the Cowles Index and contemporary Standards and Poor's counterparts, and the Internal Revenue Service's Statistic of Income public use file.

Avoiding Costly Mistakes.......2003-08-01
I wish I'd had this book available to me 12 years ago when I was a small business owner. I made several - very costly - hiring mistakes which I could have avoided if I had Quinn's guidance. Quinn teaches the reader to cut through the prospective employee's glossy shell, that persona created especially for the interview process. I understand that the interview subject wants to put his best foot forward during a hiring interview. But now, thanks to Quinn's book, I have the tools to determine the more realistic motivations of a potential hire. I've also used these principles to become a better negotiator and recommend this book as a companion to Quinn's second book "Have the Attitude".
Made a measurable difference.......2002-01-29
This book made a difference for me. If you take the time to understand the simple principals the author presents, and apply them (not quite as easy as it sounds at first, but second nature after awhile), it will pay off. One of the BEST things I got out of it, though, is that I am a much better manager than I was before I read it, so it's not JUST for hiring. It's good for self-improvement as well.
I am responsible for screening and hiring people for both creative and technical positions, and the principals in the book applied equally regardless of job level or function. The last hire I found was the most difficult from the standpont of selection (I was lucky enough to have several very good candidates), but after evaluating each using what I learned, one rose to the top, and we hired her. She turned out far better that I expected. Coincidence? Maybe. Why mess with success, though?
It's a very quick read, and for the most part direct and to the point. I suggest you read it from front to back (don't skip chapters, as they build from one to the next), then keep it in your desk to use as a reference for awhile.
Basically, it deals with understanding how much control people perceive they have over their environment, where their true passions lie, and how that applies to the position. The author makes some very important points on how easy it is to make the mistake of assuming the person with the best skills is always the best for the job!!! That's what made the biggest difference in my approach.
This is really an oversimplification, but it gives you a little insight.

Math 115.......2007-09-09
We used this book in my Math 115 class. If it wasn't for the professor I would have been completely lost. There are many typos. The examples are not clear.

Great reference which has good exercises.......2006-03-01
This is the clearest explanation I've found on copyright and fair use. Copyright laws make no sense to me, but this book breaks it down in digestable chunks.
The examples really help, for the most part they were actually interesting and sometimes funny. The exercises were good too especially on how to find Public Domain pictures and sound. I can't say that I will ever really understand copyright laws but at least I get how to use somebody else's files now.

Multimedia Law broken down to basics.......2000-04-25
Recently having been enrolled in a multimedia law class for my degree program, I found the information in the book valuable enough for submission to this review. The content herin is definately worth checking out if you are an individual seeking to create multimedia content. Though the text is law oriented, it reads quite well. Having zero law experience didn't hinder my growth as a law weilding artist. I learned such invaluable tools as contract writing, copyright law, the five rights held to a copyright, sound law (mp3's are illegal) and many other tools to help me stay safe in the industry. Though complex in structure the content is delivered in a format worth checking out. Once you can cut through the rhetoric that all lawyers speak this can be a wonderous tool to any multimedia creators library.

Book Description
Multimedia products have become highly successful. Yet they are often inadequately protected by existing national and international copyright schemes. This study is one of the first comprehensive, comparative analyses of multimedia works and copyright protection. Stamatoudi considers the nature of the multimedia work, and existing legislation, as well as collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs. Finally, she offers a model for a European legislative solution. Her work will interest academics and students, as well as lawyers and copyright policy makers.
Download Description
Multimedia products have recently experienced tremendous market success. Yet too often they are given inadequate protection under existing national and international copyright schemes. Irini Stamatoudi provides one of the first comprehensive, comparative treatments of multimedia works and copyright protection in this clear and concise volume. A detailed introduction outlines the nature of the multimedia work, as well as the scope of existing legislation; separate chapters consider collections and compilations, databases, audiovisual works and computer programs (video games are here treated as a 'test case'). Stamatoudi then analyses issues of qualification, regime of protection, and offers a model for a European legislative solution. Copyright and Multimedia Products will interest academics and students, as well as practitioners and copyright policy makers.

Great for all purposes dealing to do with any issues with..........2002-01-15
Great for all purposes dealing with space! It makes learning about our solar system fun, and is great for all ages to understand complicated related issues of space and other objects in our solar system!
A good start..........2000-12-06
This book is a decent intoductory reference about space, its exploration, and some of the people who have influenced our understanding thereof.
Information is organized by general topic (The Universe, objects outside our solar system, the solar system itself, space exploration, etc.); each topic is then divided alphabetically by subtopic (Pulsars, Quasars, Red Giants; Jupiter, Saturn, etc.). These subtopics are then treated to a series of questions and their answers. In effect, the book is an extended FAQ similar to those found for various topics on the web. I find this to be an interesting approach to the printed format.
However, I have found the book to be unclear at times and unneccessarily sketchy (perhaps "too concise" would be more fair) about many details. I frequently want more information than is provided when using the book to clarify a term or concept. For example, the section on Red Giants lists an entry which is titled in such a way as to imply that it will explain the mechanism by which Red Giants vary in their cycle of brightness. Instead, the entry explains the life course of the Red Giant phase of a star's life without information on why it varies in a yearly cycle from bright to dim. In fact, the variability mechanism of a Red Giant is *never* explained by the book, despite this information being present for other Variable Star types.
Compared the length of the book, the amount of information inside is limited. In fact, if the text was not printed in such a large typeface, I imagine the book would become a small volume, and could possibly be modified into a candidate for a "pocket" book. The large page format is not used for a wealth of diagrams, either, as the book is lacking in explanatory illustration, something one might expect in a reference work. In effect, the book feels physically "inflated" to me, perhaps in the interest of seeming meatier. In all honesty, I might have been less inclined to purchase it if it had been a small volume, so this approach seems to have worked; however, if it were a small or pocket edition, I might have been more satisfied with the amount of content.
Finally, as one reviewer has already mentioned, the book is not well edited, with typos and grammatical errors throughout. The entire project, in fact, feels a tad rushed, as if more content and thorough editing were eschewed in an effort to get to market.
All in all, I found the book to be a good start *on a more complete volume.* In other words, I would have liked to see more development of the content in a more complete work. Nonetheless, it is a decent addition to my reference library, especially at the price, although it often leaves me wanting more.
Should be called "The Invaluable Space Answer Book".......2000-07-13
I bought this book at the Aerospace Museum in the Smithsonian in Washington. It is a fun book to refer to now and again.
The format of the book is question/answer. The chapter topics include: the universe, galaxies and stars, our solar system, the Earth and its moon, observation and measurement, observation facilities, space exploration agencies and tools, technology in space, and humans in space.
I especially enjoyed brushing up on my knowledge of space exploration. This book covers all the major space programs up through the International Space Station. The section on the universe is also equally interesting. The book reviews basic laws and the scientists behind them.
This book is very educational. It is useful for brushing up on basic knowledge for adults, and it would make a great gift for those just learning about science and space exploration. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Good Book, Good Price !.......1999-12-25
I enjoy this book. I wish I bought on Amazon.com. I bought it at the Discovery Channel Store and it is GREAT! It answers every question I have or will have about space. It goes in depth. I wish it had weblinks, color pictures, hardcover, and an editor. This book has typos and you can tell. Look at 'G' in the Index.
Exellent beginners book.......1999-10-04
An informative, well written book covering the most frequently asked questions about space.
