There can't be a quicker way to learn about the WHOLE stock market
Stocks for the Long Run has a reputation for being the essential introduction to learning about investing in stocks. I can't disagree -- at all. It covers all the ground, and with this 4th edition it brings in a lot of relevant information about ETF's, foreign markets (China, etc.), and other more recent "players" in the stock market. Of course, this edition was put out before the amazing ...

Destination Inspiration
I just keep coming back to this book again and again--I've probably read certain chapters half a dozen times. Rolf's book is funny, well written, practical, inspiring. It is to a traveler what a great cookbook is to a chef--he assumes you have the inclination to travel, and he's not going to teach you how, per se, but he gives you the basic instructions to get the task done, and he makes you ...

The Triumph of Timeless Truths
Somebody suggested that for every 3 books you read, make sure that one of them is at least eight years old (from its initial publication date). This particular book demonstrates the legitimacy of the suggestion. This is required reading for anyone involved in the fields of finance/ economics/mathematics or the social sciences. The moral of this story is really captured from a quote attributed ...

It worked for us!
We stumbled upon this book two years ago when my daughter was in sixth grade at a large, inner city public middle school. The kind of school with caring but overworked teachers, and a counselor/student ration of 1 to 380. This book and it's companion "What colleges Don't Tell you..." were a revelation for us. For less than twenty dollars, we received the kind of "inside information" that ...

I enjoyed reading "Stages." It is the guide to caring for aging parents I have been waiting for. I think this book will help people that are helping their parents make difficult choices. I also realized I'm not planning enough for when I'm a senior.

The best book on the subject
I found this book to be the best one on the subject of apartment investing. The author says that there are three types of income: earned, portfolio, and passive. Most people have jobs so they earn income, but they might also have some portfolio income from stocks or bonds. Real estate, and specifically, apartments, can provide passive income. Apartments fall into two categories: two to four units ...

My view on the most critic review about this book
The most critic review about this book has misled the readers in one aspect due to his misunderstanding of Chinese life style. This reader criticize the book using his own experiences of his journal to China. He see how Chinese live with his own eyes. The credibility is certainly high, as many Americans who's been to China experience the same. However, what he didn't know is a mistake of ...

A note from the author... I hope you find this review helpful... Recently I found myself along with 3 other siblings and spouses thrust into new uncharted waters in a totally new season of our lives. Suddenly and without any training we were and continue to this day having to take care of my aging parents. I for one will freely admit that as a child I was never trained, prepared, nor ...

Brings to Life the Certainty of Aging
I think this was written primarily for the adult children who will some day care for their parents. It describes very carefully the stages of care that aging people will require as the process progresses. However, as one who is in the process of aging myself, I found this book extremely helpful to prepare for the inevitable. While we all know that the lucky ones will age - hopefully gracefully ...

This book will help those with Asperger and those who love them understand what this is all about much better.

Comprehensive and unique
As a newcomer to standardisation work, this book has proven invaluable and my only regret is that it wasn't available when I first started work on LTE about a year ago. The book has saved me hours of tedious scouring of standards text. In this respect it is valuable both for people who are in telcos management and need an overview of LTE, as well as standards engineers who are well acquainted ...

I have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for 12 years. I tried the traditional medical route. I tried a multitude of alternative methods. None of it really worked. I still had the disease. In the last year my health has deteriorated to the point that I was forced to go to the doctors for some relief. While reading a review for methotrexate, I stumbled across a recommendation for this book. I got the ...
