Financial Market Meltdown: Everything You Need to Know to Understand and Survive the Global Credit Crisis - PDF
نویسندگان: Kevin Mellyn خلاصه: Mellyn's update of Lombard Street achieves the rare combination of being a book about finance that is both informative AND entertaining. His tour through the evolution of modern finance works both for the layman and the professional -- it's a sure bet there are tidbits in here that even the most interested students of economic and financial history have not heard before. Add to that his wry takes on why we all do what we do when we do it with our (and other people's) money, and you've got a book that feels worth the time spent.

What They Didn't Tell You At Medical School - PDF
What They Didn't Tell You At Medical School - PDF
نویسندگان: Alan V. Parbhoo خلاصه: n: During medical training there are certain parts of day-to-day tasks that are not taught at medical school nor inthe traditional referencebooks. There are some skills that medical students are expected to learn by ‘osmosis’ while on placement and under the guidance of junior doctors. These skills are never officially taught or examined in medical school. They are, however, a fundamental part of being a safe, good and efficient doctor. This book includes ‘golden rules’ or important points to remember and case examples, both of which are given as displayed extracts. This book is designed to help the junior doctor unlock their potential and improve their performance, cutting the time it takes to achieve certain medical objectives. It is meant to fill in the gaps where the medical school and clinical guides stop. It gives the reader the information needed to organise themselves so that they can hit the ground running. It is not intended as a clinical survival guide, but more a friendly hand to allow the reader to get ahead in medicine and how to keep on track and develop a career path.
The Solar Home: How to Design and Build a House You Heat With the Sun (How-To Guides) - PDF
The Solar Home: How to Design and Build a House You Heat With the Sun (How-To Guides) - PDF
نویسندگان: Mark Freeman خلاصه: I am a first-time DIY owner-builder, presently in the early planning stages of my house project. I picked this book up at Borders as my first book on homebuilding, and was glad that I did. It was a quick and easy read, and its friendly, informal, confident style makes the first-time homebuilder feel that perhaps doing it yourself is not so daunting a task after all. The book contains enough detailed explanations and drawings to give one a feel for what kind of work is involved in all the various stages of a typical passive solar homebuilding project, while remaining brief enough as to not be too intimidating. However, I agree with the previous reviewer that this is only a snapshot of one particlular way of building an energy-efficient house, and many alternatives are not covered, for example, alternative insulating wall materials such as straw bales or SIPS board. Also, the book is biased towards construction in far-north climates and does not extensively address the needs of warmer regions where keeping the house cool may often be a bigger concern than keeping it warm. Also, the authors seem overly obsessed with putting up completely airtight vapor barriers on their interior wall surfaces; they themselves describe high interior humidity problems that they had as a result. And personally, I would not want to live inside an airtight plastic bubble! It is my understanding from talking to architect friends that you want water vapor to be able to get out of your house, while preventing moisture from coming in, via selective membrane type sheathing materials such as Tyvek. Other sources I've read (e.g. straw bale books) seem to agree that it is possible for a wall to allow water vapor to pass through relatively freely while still retaining a good insulation value. But, aside from those qualifications, I found this book to be a reasonably good, gentle introduction to what's involved in DIY passive solar homebuilding, at least for wood-frame homes of a certain typical style.
Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be - PDF
Know Your Parenting Personality: How to Use the Enneagram to Become the Best Parent You Can Be - PDF
نویسندگان: Janet Levine خلاصه: This book is well written and extensive in describing the nine enneagram types as they might relate to parenting. Each one includes examples of situations and potential pitfalls as well as advantages. That said, I was disappointed about a couple of things, which limited the usefulness of the book in my mind. There is a quiz at the beginning, the answers of which are supposed to tell you which enneagram parenting type you are. While the examples are fairly good, anyone who knows about the enneagram diagram knows that determining your type is rather complex and most people don't fall cleanly into only one category, but have influences from other types, i.e. wings, and move toward other types when at their best, or digress in unhealthy circumstances. While the information presented here is good, I'm afraid a fair number of readers will see themselves in multiple types and may become confused about how to proceed. Ms. Levine uses different names for the types than I've seen used in other material and makes no attempt to relate them to one another. If you know nothing about the enneagram, obviously that won't bother you, but it bothered me. I was also hoping there would be something to help parents identify their children's types since parents are not operating in a vacuum. All in all, I felt the book has value in helping parents recognize how their personality type, whatever it is, may be affecting their children in ways they didn't expect and we all want to be better parents, so that is useful, but from the enneagram perspective, it's not as detailed as I was expecting.

Security and HackingHave You Locked the Castle Gate. Home and Small Business Computer Security - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Addison-Wesley خلاصه: The content of the book ranges in nature from nontechnical examples through technical details that some readers might find hard or strange. That's okay—not every reader will understand every item in this book. Because the book can help you put some basic security in place, some parts are rather technical. If you have to skip sections or come back later, that's fine. My goal is to present the material in a technically accurate way while trying to make it understandable for nontechnical readers. That is a broad range to cover, and I'm sure some people will feel some areas are too technical or not technical enough. For readers who want more technical information, I've included links and resources that can cover nearly all topics in this book to a far greater depth. On the other hand, if you find something that is too technical for you, feel free to skip ahead a bit. As you become familiar with the topics and discussions, you can go back and read again later. Although users of non-Windows operating systems such as Linux, Macintosh, or BeOS will find the conceptual parts of this book useful, the main focus is on the Windows family of operating systems most often found in homes and small businesses. Additionally, users seeking advanced technical discussions of security or in-depth scripting and coding analysis of tools will not find them in this book. Those areas of discussion are outside the scope of this book. I will, however, provide links and references to those subjects as appropriate throughout the text of the book.

The Undercover Economist: Exposing Why the Rich Are Rich, the Poor Are Poor--and Why You Can Never Buy a Decent Used Car! - PDF
نویسندگان: Tim Harford خلاصه: An economist's version of The Way Things Work, this engaging volume is part field guide to economics and part expose of the economic principles lurking behind daily events, explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices. The Undercover Economist is for anyone who's wondered why the gap between rich and poor nations is so great, or why they can't seem to find a decent second-hand car, or how to outwit Starbucks. This book offers the hidden story behind these and other questions, as economist Tim Harford ranges from Africa, Asia, Europe, and of course the United States to reveal how supermarkets, airlines, and coffee chains--to name just a few--are vacuuming money from our wallets. Harford punctures the myths surrounding some of today's biggest controversies, including the high cost of health-care; he reveals why certain environmental laws can put a smile on a landlord's face; and he explains why some industries can have high profits for innocent reasons, while in other industries something sinister is going on. Covering an array of economic concepts including scarce resources, market power, efficiency, price gouging, market failure, inside information, and game theory, Harford sheds light on how these forces shape our day-to-day lives, often without our knowing it. Showing us the world through the eyes of an economist, Tim Harford reveals that everyday events are intricate games of negotiations, contests of strength, and battles of wits. Written with a light touch and sly wit, The Undercover Economist turns "the dismal science" into a true delight.
