A good general-purpose finance book. Covers pretty much all the bases and is straight-forward.This makes it perfect not only for someone just starting off to make sure they're on the right track, but also for people who are trying to put their finances back in order. Also great for those who may be established but just want to use their money more wisely.If you're really only interested in investment info though, I would suggest buying a different book specifically on the topic.

The interview style WORKS! Although I wish the author had gone into more detail on a few of his memories, I found following the unfolding recesses of Hallas' mind gripping and eerie at the same time. No false plot, no literary mechanics -- just one man, a tape recorder, and a ten-year-old mystery of what is the "truth."This should be required reading in any college class that deals with Vietnam or its aftermath. This is as close as you can get to real without being crouched in the mud beside them.

The book was well written and kept me wanting to read more. Everytime I went to put it down to go to sleep, I picked it back up again and continued to read. For anyone that has ever wondered what it would have been like to be a soldier in Vietnam, this will answer your questions. It is delivered with honesty and gut wrenching detail at every turn of the page. Our young men that went of to fight the Viet Cong were brave and courageous in the line of fire.

I am very disappointed in this book. I bought it specifically because I wanted to continue with Pilates even with two bulging disks. Unfortunately, this book includes positions that my physical therapist said are most stressful on the spine. He said never to use the "V-shape" position and that very position appears on several pages of this book. The book includes the basic Pilates exercises that probably contributed to my back injuries in the first place. My therapist had recommended a Pilates class taught by physical therapists. I could not take that class and was hoping this book would be along those same lines. It was not.

I had purchased Ungaro's Body in Motion and Siler's Pilates Body to begin doing pilates, as they were generally the most respected texts. But my back couldn't handle the most basic level of some of the introductory exercises. This book, however, along with King and Green's Back Strengthening Workout, has given me a sequence of exercises and modifications that (I can already feel after two weeks of use) will get me where I want to be. The introduction to this book is a little too technical on anatomical detail, and the Ungaro and Siler books are superior in terms of illustration and textual guidance at the advanced levels, but without this I'd be quitting and/or hurting before I ever got going with Pilates.

This is a great sleeping bag. The color is beautiful and the zipper is user friendly and hasn't snagged or come off track. I've washed it twice and the fabric is in perfect condition. The only negative is the it is EXTREMELY difficult to get it back in the storage bag, so I don't even bother. It has a string to roll it up and that works fine. My daughter has used it for overnight trips and has even decided to wants it on her bed.
