.The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Jason Kelly

December 18, 2007
This book introduces the basic concepts of the stock market, explaining in some detail the different ratios and methods for analyzing stock (PE, Beta, projected sales, etc.). Some of the concepts are pretty basic and things that I would consider common sense (but from experience, common sense is anything but common).

Kelly introduces some key investors that are worth noting, with particular focus on Warren Buffet.

He does a good job of noting that following research and good products doesn't always put you on top. Following some of the biggest investors, reading the signs, and listening to brokers will not always give you the best return. He provides numerous contradictions to everything he attempts to teach. The end ... Read More:

.Domino: The Book of Decorating: A room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Deborah Needleman, Sara Ruffin Costello, Dara Caponigro

October 14, 2008
Domino Magazine came on the scene in 2005 just three short years ago. It melded fashion and decor and immediately energized the shelter magazine market, appealing to 20 to 40 year olds, and finding an even wider Baby Boom audience. Its hip and refreshing "how to" attitude to creating your own pretty decor soundly resonated.
Even the professional designers presented had a homey approach using revamped flea market finds, big box store items, and their own personal products.
It provided a "power to the people" approach. Everyone can shop at a flea market, Target, CB2, or eBay, etc. The message is: Everyone has access to a happy looking and pretty home.
Domino The Book Of Decorating is written by the magazine's editors, and it continues ... Read More:

.The Subprime Solution: How Today's Global Financial Crisis Happened, and What to Do about It
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Robert J. Shiller

August 24, 2008
This book is essentially divided into three parts. (1) How we got here (2) What to do in the short term and (3) What to do in the long term.

I found Shiller's account of how the subprime crisis emerged to be on the money. Shiller co-developed the Kay Shiller index, which measures the real increase in home prices and he point out that, between 1997 and 2006, real home prices (inflation adjusted) increase by 85% (p. 32). This sort of growth is clearly unsustainable and a byproduct of a massive and misguided group psychology event. He likens the subprime contagion to a disease epidemic, slowly creeping up and eventually spiraling out of control.

Shiller argues that a drop in home prices are necessary in order to restore equilibrium to the ... Read More:

.Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Thumb Index)
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Donald Venes

February 14, 2005
So far my husband and I have found this book to be very helpful, we have only had it a month and are both taking medical terminology. He's taking the class for a biology degree, and I'm taking the class for massage therapy. Every time we have looked up a word, it has been there. If it needs a picture, there is one. It always gives you the root word with prefix and suffix separated and what language the word came from. The thumb index makes it much easier to find pages quickly than the books that don't have them. The definitions are easy to understand and are oftentimes more helpful than the definitions in either of our textbooks.

As an A&P teacher, I find that students who use this anatomy coloring book get it faster and retain the info longer than any other. It is much more accurate than other anatomy coloring books. Highly recommended!

.Gardening When It Counts: Growing Food in Hard Times (Mother Earth News Wiser Living Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Professional and Technical
by: Steve Solomon

April 01, 2006
I am a gardener and I read books and magazines in addition to my hands on efforts. This book has made me think about the way I have been gardening and the complications that I have put on my efforts. This is a much more simple way to do things and I have learned so much about larger spaces, the effort levels of fruits and vegetables, simple tool use and care and water resources.

Excellent book. Although I bought it for myself, I had to get it away from my husband.
