Seller was very professional and honest. I received the book in perfect conditions and before the estimated time.

very good and comprehensive book with up to date informatio

This book is the most important investment we made when we decided to adopt our daughters. It is relatively easy to understand, the tables are helpful, and the understanding it provides as to who is actually paying for your AAP, provides the adoptive parent with the tools to negotiate an AAP agreement that will truly be beneficial for all parties involved. Child welfare workers, adoption workers, etc. are not well-versed on this topic and may present the basic rate to you as the only thing available. Read on...adoption is a win/win situation when you understand your rights financially. Read this and then negotiate your AAP agreement armed with accurate information. The only thing I would recommend is that the authors should update the tables to a more current year's standard. Regardless - this book is an absolute necessity for adoptive parents.

I wouldn't adopt a special needs child without reading this book. The authors lay out the highly-complicated world of adoption subsidy in a manner that is easy for a novice parent to follow. Chances are your social worker will probably not know much about adoption subsidy or at least won't have it all right so it is crucial that adoptive parents read this book carefully. You can take the information in this book and use it to advocate for your child's subsidy and service rights. The authors also provide important policy decisions and laws that will help anyone who has to go back and fight for subsidy and services after their adoption is complete. I plan to keep this book by my side as I negotiate my own adoption subsidy agreement and I am telling every prospective adoptive parent I know to read it.

I couldn't put this book down. Bonner has identified the major players in US-El Salvador relations in that time period and done an excellent job of contrasting the "party line" (the propoganda from the State Department and much of the press) from what he saw on the "front line" while living in El Salvador as a reporter for the NY Times. This book is not for the week of stomach, as it very graphically describes the fates of many people who died in the struggle. He has done an incredible job of organizing declassified documents and press clippings to show how the American public was deceived.

US foreign policy was neatly summed up by a commentator on 'Newsnight' recently. A country is like a game of poker in which you play a hand and then cut your losses and get out if things don't work out while the European stance is arguably more socialistic. Little seems to have changed then, judging by this horrifying book, burning with indignation by Raymond Bonner.
The Reagan administration has been deemed culpable by some over Central American injustice, but the 'weakness' of the title applies as much to the decisions made by the Carter administration, despite avowedly making human rights the 'soul of our foreign policy.' America could not conceive of any popular revolution as not instigated by the Soviet Union. Ironic then, that this book should show the importance of religion, not as a take it or leave it life style choice of the privileged west, but as a vital cohesive force against the forces of Nazi tyranny, which this undoubtably was. It is still inexplicable to me that a nation could make such an enormous sacrifice in fighting Facism during the war, only to come to this deplorable conclusion. Do the ends justify the means? Mr Bonner leaves us in no doubt.

I recieved the book in good time and it was in the shape that I was told.

It came in a timely matter and the condition was great. I would order from you guys again

I purchased Anderson's Business Law (18th Edition) for my wife as she is a business owner. The book is a beefy college textbook and made with quality paper. Its use of color throughout the text made it easy to read and find a section within the book. The book provides case examples, sources, and website references for each section of law it covers. This book was actually very interesting to read. I highly recommend this book for the small business owner and those who have an interest in the law.

This book provides an easy to read, plenty of examples look on complex ideas like law, rules and contracts to name a few. Laws does not have to be complicated with this book.

Unlike the politically biased journalists who dominate the controversial subjects of antidiscrimination regulation and affirmative action, Farrell Bloch hammers away with trenchant analysis, letting the conclusions fall where they may. If you want the rigor of an academic instead of a political manifesto, and are willing to challenge your preconceptions, this is the book for you.

I found this book while searching for a dissertation topic. The book is not limited to the points covered in the description given above. Most interesting for me were the author's chapters on recruitment and recruitment discrimination. He sets forth several hypotheses I've not encountered elsewhere. And these chapters as well as the rest of the book are very well-written (in English, not math!) and draw on the real-world human resources and legal environments.

Not of much interest to me, but perhaps to others, are the discussions of the philosophical foundations for antidiscrimination regulation and affirmative action, and of the use of economics and statistics in employment discrimination lawsuits. Most of the discusion in the last chapter will be familiar to those who've taken a labor economics course. There is one cool unemployment remedy using interactive phones that would work even better on the internet.

an excellent photojournalist book with a very good edit

Let me start this review by saying that I am *not* a photojournalist. I am an art photographer, and unlike these people at Reuter, I take weeks or months to perfect a print when they need only hours (although I am limited my darkroom availability at my school). So, I was judging this book not as a photojournalist book, but as a serious art photography book, since that is what I know.

That being said, this is an EXCELLENT art phorography book. I picked up this book to look at in Borders after being fascinated by the cover photography, which is more of an art photograph than anything. It was absolutely beautiful, with human faces blocked by simle white masks, and only black in the abckround. I didn't know this was a photojournalist book, I thought it was art photography. So, being so in love with the cover, I sat down and looked through every single photograph. About 1/5 of the book is sports photography, and I am not at all into sports, so I didn't much like those sections, but the rest more than makes up for it.

All of these photographs are greatly crafted and precise technically. There are beautiful ones like the one on the front, hillarious ones, ones that look unbelievable (I'm thinking of one with a skelton model about 50 feet high raised out of the water in a lake looking at a huge "book of life" that's actually an opera stage. I thought it was a digital piece of art at first!). The best, and most moving photographs in this book however are the war photographs. These are very, very hard to look at, but they show you what war is really like, the things you don't see in the regular news media. You see bodies burned so taht the yellow fat and muscles show. You see a body hunched over a railing with almost all of his back blown off and scattered about him, where you can see straight into the empty cavity of his back. You see a man shotting another man in a gutter. These are not fun to look at, but tehy are important, give such impact that the breath is knocked out of you several times.

This book is not for the faint of heart, but it is one of the best photography books I have seen. And to pay $[money]for a 200 page hardback is a real deal. Buy this book, if you can stomach teh ahrsh war photographs you won't regret it! And even if you can't, there's plenty of other, easy to view, excellent photographs.

I've read a lot of books that claim to help you to succeed but this book by Lloyd Williams actually does.It is the best book to help Financial Adviors accomplish their goals that I have ever read.
He makes our business seem so simple.
Just follow his instructions!
Buy this book!

Excellent book. Lloyd writes things that everyone involved in a professional atmosphere can comprehend. You'll find yourself agreeing with the things he says and you'll want to put his recommendations into play.

Quite simply, this book saved me thousands of dollars in interest, hundreds of dollars in attorney fees; taught me how to negotiate with my creditors; read, understand and clean up my credit reports; keep good records; but most of all, saved myself and my family from bankruptcy. All 3 of the lawyers were much too quick to offer us bankruptcy. You need alot of money to file bankruptcy. The bankruptcy contracts offered by the lawyers ranged from $750-$2500. This is absolute robbery! When I found this book, I found the solutions to our financial problems!

Sincerely, O Madsen

Trying to find a bankruptcy lawyer I was able to trust was my first problem. The embarrassment of my financial situation caused me many sleepless nights. Then I found "Your Step by Step Guide to Financial Rehabilitation." What an amazing authored work. I have been able to renegotiate contracts with 11 out of 12 of my creditors and the 12th one is considering my latest offer. The attorney had started my bankruptcy paper work when I called him and instructed him to cancel. I saved $850.00 on attorney fees and my credit is now good enough to secure new credit on the essentials of life. Who could ask for more?

I am surprised there are no other reviews for this book. My daughter is a senior and we have been using this book for over a year now. All but one of the colleges she has looked at is in the book. Its best feature? It describes colleges that cost a little less than the biggies - most in the range of 20-25 k including room/board. That is very important for me since we have three kids to send to college. I don't expect much financial aid so we will be on our own except for some merit money. My daughter wants a small school, not in the city. She does very well in school but is not very competitive. So this range of colleges is perfect for her. I recommend it even if you are looking at some of the more prestigious schools (some of those are in here too). The other great thing is that the description of each college is very lengthy, some are 4 pages long.

This book is very helpful. My granddaughter must be very cost conscious about where she attends college. This definitely helped her narrow her choices. It also made me aware that college costs in our state schools are much more than most other places. If you have several children to send to college, it could be a wise move to relocate! This book could help you make that kind of decision.
