Customer Reviews:
Why does the index have to be so lousy for law books?.......2006-02-28
First off, I have found the Gilbert commercial law school outlines to be the best. They also put out the best lectures on tape/CD.
However, the index is nearly as bad as Emanuel's. You can't just look up a subject by a word, such as "minors." For instance, if I can't remember whether or not a minor can be an agent, I can't just go to "M" in the index for "minor." I have to try and figure out which category or chapter the authors would have included that information in, and then hope they actually at least put "minor" in the index under the mystery section.
These guys expect us to remember that the issue regarding a minor is "capacity," then figure out that "capacity" would be under "creating agencies," for example--which of course is a huge pain when you're exhausted with studying law & your brain is too wiped out to have to go through all that just to look up whether or not a minor can become an agent...
That said, when you do finally find the section you're looking for....the outline is written pretty clearly & concisely without giving you all of the previous laws that are no longer relevent, like the Emanuel outlines do, which drives me nuts, too.
Before you begin with this outline, though, I suggest you buy yourself a bunch of tab post-its so you can find info easily again, or jot your own index inside the front cover as you go along. Better yet, keep a running outline/notes document on your computer so you can just do a search of your document to quickly find topics/rules without having to spend 1/2 hour trying to figure out where it was in the Gilbert outline again.
Best Gilberts I Own .......2005-11-07
The is the standard Gilberts outline book. A little thinner than most, but the content is good. If your professor is extremely socratic like mine was, this is the book for you. Even if the cases don't all match, the ideas are framed in easy to understand outline format. I know people who have kept this book and used it for bar review after graduation from law school!

Do some soul-searching.......2001-11-02
This book really helped me do some soul-searching the last time I looked for a job. It leads you through a series of easy exercises to make you think about your strengths and weaknesses, and lays the groundwork for finding your ideal job. It also offers a lot of sensible, practical advice about what to do and what not to do, most of which I now feel is indispensable to a job search. I recommend this book to you if you are interested in learning more about yourself and how you stand out in the world. It's hard to show anyone else what you're great at if you don't know it for yourself.

Description:
On-line customer research has been conducted for European and American markets by marketers and academics. Whilst e-Commerce and tourism develop rapidly in China, understanding of Chinese Internet travellers is required. This article investigates features of this on-line segment through a survey with 634 responses. It aims to establish segmental information and identify influential factors of eShopping adoption by Internet travellers in China. The key findings include that surveyed lookers who are in the age group of 31-40 and those who live in the Pearl River Delta are most likely to book travel on-line. Also, age, area of residence, type of travel website most visited, length of time using the Internet, self-efficacy, domain-specific innovativeness and perception of the Internet are influential factors of Chinese lookers becoming bookers.

Description:
This paper compares how two different destinations use food in their marketing activities. Content analysis of brochures, booklets and web sites was used. One, Hong Kong, makes extensive use of food as part of its core positioning statement. The other, Turkey, makes little reference to it, even though its indigenous cuisine is unique and rich. The findings imply that when using food in destination marketing, some expertise and knowledge are essential not only in marketing destinations but also in local and international cuisines as well as in socio-cultural characteristics of potential tourists. The study provides discussions on how destinations can learn valuable lessons to differentiate themselves through using their unique cuisines.
