good, but not well written.......2005-03-04
This book is more quantitative than the author's other book, but it is still very basic. The author is also a little redundant in his writing. He spends a lot of time talking about the different types of funds available, but not actually giving that much insight into how they are run.
This is a good book for someone like myself that has very little prior knowledge about hedge funds, although it could have been written better. There are many misprints, yet the organization is good.
The most rewarding parts of the book are the questions at the end of each chapter. The answers are provided at the end of the book and many of the Q & A's give you more insight into hedge funds than the actual body. This is a good book for someone with no knowledge of hedge funds but would be too simplistic for someone that has already has knowledge of them.

From the book jacket.......2005-07-15
Anyone who has seen Rock City, wandered the grounds of Graceland, hiked in Great Smoky Mountains National Park, or watched the mermaids swim at Weeki Wachee knows the southern United States offers visitors a rich variety of scenic, cultural, and leisure activities. Tourism has been, and is still, one of the most powerful economic forces in the modern South. It is a multibillion-dollar industry that creates jobs and generates revenue while drawing visitors from around the world to enjoy the regionÒs natural and man-made attractions.
This collection of 11 essays explores tourism as a defining force in southern history by focusing on particular influences and localities. Alecia Long examines sex as a fundamental component of tourism in New Orleans in the early 20th century, while Brooks Blevins describes how tourism served as a modernizing influence on the Arkansas Ozarks, even as the region promoted itself as a land of quaint, primitive hillbillies. Anne Whisnant chronicles the battle between North Carolina officials building the Blue Ridge Parkway and the owner of Little Switzerland, who fought for access and advertising along the scenic highway. One essay probes the racial politics behind the development of Hilton Head Island, while another looks at the growth of Florida's panhandle into a "redneck Riviera," catering principally to southerners, rather than northern tourists.
Southern Journeys is a pioneering work in southern history. It introduces a new window through which to view the region's distinctiveness. Scholars and students of environmental history, business history, labor history, and social history will all benefit from a consideration of the place of tourism in southern life.
Book Description
Many standardized tests-including high school entrance exams, SATs, civil service exams, GREs, LSATS, and others-use analogy questions to test both logic and reasoning skills and word knowledge. 501 Word Analogy Questions is designed to help students prepare for the verbal and reasoning sections of these and other assessment and entrance exams. By completing the exercises in this book, students can develop the skills necessary to tackle each type of analogy question. The questions increase in difficulty as the student moves through each exercise, and all answers are explained, using short definitions and terms that clarify word meanings for effective studying and positive reinforcement.
Customer Reviews:
Riddles, not analogies.......2006-12-08
This book presents far more word games than analogies--the relationships between the words presented are too often not the type seen in the SCAT test, or the "old" SAT. This is not a book to use if you want to prepare your child for the SCAT (testing to join the Johns Hopkins Talented Youth program, for example). I have taken (and scored very well on) many tests with analogies and studied and prepared my daughter for the SCAT, and was hoping this book would be useful for my son. I was ready to throw it across the room. The "right" answers for the relationships between the word pairs are often absurd, or based on the physical appearance of the letters in the word--or, the answer is incorrectly given because it mixes up the word pairs, and the actual pairings make no sense at all!
Instead, get Daily Warm Ups: Analogies; it is a GREAT book, though it leaves you needing more practice.
Book Description

This book is great! I bought it for daughter, whom is a junior in high school, and she used it to help prep for the SAT. She said it really helped her, as she is very weak in verbal/vocabulary skills.

Interesting approach to the 21st Century job market.......2000-03-24
In the high tech world where resumes and cover letters are pre-processed electronically, every edge you can get is worthwhile. Nowadays a highly qualified candidate can be completely shut out of the interview process simply by the words that they use in their correspondance with the company.
This book is primarily a directory of keywords that one should use in various fields if they are seeking a job. These "buzzwords" are not replacements for actual content in the documents but rather should be used like spices to add flavoring to the piece.
I know from personal experience, both as a candidate and a hiring manager that missing some of these buzzwords will mark you as unqualified before you even get a chance to be seen by the company.
If you are new to the job market, changing careers, or just having trouble being seen, this book might help you add some of the necessary spices to make resume just that much more attractive to potential employers. The cost of this book, which should be less than 1 hours pay for a typical applicant is more than worthwhile to someone in need.
