Title: I'd give it one half star but it works as a paper weight. Review: A tremendously successful textbook---de rigeur for the Ivy League, apparently---whose success can only be explained by kickbacks and graft. The tome is impenetrable, dense with turgid and unhelpful examples, burdened with the authors' pathetic attempts at humor, and manages to make the most basic of financial concepts (such as CAPM, the dividend controversy, and optimal capital structure) incomprehensible to all but the most steely Wall Street veterans. No wonder the street loves it---it makes the discipline seem completely beyond the ken of mere mortals (and first year MBAs). I hate this book with a black passion; it seems to revel in its obscurantism. An infinitely better approach for the curious or the novice is Ross and Jaffe's Corporate Finance, which treats the same material in a logical, user friendly, and infinitely more readable fashion.

Title: Back in time. Review: After seeing the Frost/Nixon movie I came home directly and ordered this movie. I was in college during this time period and although I was aware of the pending impeachment and Watergate, life just seem to move forward for me smoothly. To review the circustances and to see Nixon answer these questions now brings on a whole new light to the time and circumstances. Particularly now that I am more politically aware and hold a postion of leadership and decision making in the public sector. And then to be able to compare Nixon to Clinton and the Bush family, back to Reagan and the Iran/Contra deal. It was just great. What truely motivates decision making is sometimes best studied at a later time, when one can be truthful to oneself. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Title: Couldn't resist buying this but now regret it. Review: Call me ignorant for not first looking into what a Pastor believes or teaches before purchasing his products. I am confused by his interpretation of scripture regarding our words. Buy Joyce Meyer's book "Battlefield of the Mind"....She is well versed and knows the word..
