Prabhu on storage processes

Helpful Votes: 0 out of 0 total.
Review Date: 2005-09-23

A well written book on the subject of storage processes from a theoretical point of view. It does not have an applied flavour or is prone to numerical evaluations. The level and the style however is complementary to other texts. So, I consider this a nice book to have in addition to other more basic texts.

advice for wealthy Americans; not for non-Americans

Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 2007-05-07

I am uncertain who exactly the audience is meant to be for this book. Perhaps confining it to those lucky few who are already wealthy (however you might define the latter) would result in too small a readership? Then again, the US has historically been an aspirational society. So maybe the intended audience expands to include those non-wealthy who are striving mightily to improve their lots. And perhaps other readers who do not realistically expect ever to be wealthy, but want to see how the rich can minimise their taxes.

Aviss spans several key topics. As in maintaining an offshore trust. He is upfront in saying that this has several disadvantages. Like some $20k to set up and expensive annual maintainence. Plus it is no real shelter from paying US income taxes. And its existence might even tip the odds in favour of the IRS auditing you. Its main benefit is juridictional. Much harder for American creditors to pursue claims against these assets. And civil judgments rendered by American courts have little or no sway overseas.

Then, he offers details about various countries and the amount of legal protection they offer you. It's a good read. But limited to Americans. Citizens of other countries would need to consult other guides, because their countries' tax laws can be quite different.

Excellent!

Review Date: 2008-04-13

This excellent book by Donald Waters offers a comprehensive overview of many important issues in managing supply chain risk. More than 15 case studies and a straightforward hands-on practical approach make this book an enjoyable read. I almost forgot that I bought this book as a text book. This book is written with the manager in mind, and is interspersed with examples from real life, along with calculations and illustrations that explain the concept in a manner that is practical and easy to follow even if you know nothing about supply chain management theory, common sense is all it takes. I highly recommend this book for anybody who wishes to learn the principles of supply chain risk management and put them into practice in one's own business. Worth the price? YES!

The 2007 version of this book is measurably thicker than this 2004 version. I wish the Tax law reflected that! Our office thinks this book should be titled Tax Opinions not Tax Facts, as there are so many disclaimers stating this is just our opinion. Still, a valuable reference for many.

Not knowing terminfo is driving with your lights off

Review Date: 2000-02-18

Several times I see in news groups statements like how do I program keys in UNIX. Or I just changed my emulator and get funny characters. This book answers those questions and helps with the understanding of how to build a program that works with any terminal and other applications. Knowing this book can save man days of speculation on why the control characters do not respond as you expected them to.

Cynical but useful insights into a career in life insurance

Helpful Votes: 8 out of 10 total.
Review Date: 1999-01-09

While it may be slightly dated (published in 1984), Larson offers some great insights into the nature of the life insurance business and how to be successful in life insurance sales. I purchased the book because I am considering a career into the business and was looking for some frank information. I got it with this book and would recommend it to anyone considering selling life insurance.

A fantasia and dissection on the subject of Franz Kafka

Helpful Votes: 3 out of 3 total.
Review Date: 1997-04-03

The particular text of the two with which I am concerned is "Kafka's Dick." My reading of the text was in conjunction with a directing class production at the local university. At the time the literary vivisectionist aspects of this play touched rather close to home. Quite frankly, I was sick of picking nits and wanted so desperately to just *enjoy* a story. But he daily rape of dead authors in English classes mad that quite impossible. Why they were teaching Chekoslovakian authors in English lit I'll never know.

"Kafka's Dick" deals with just that subject in a rather surreal way. Franz Kafka and his friend and publisher Max Brod are brought back to life in the living room of a literary critic who just happens to be writing on the subject of Franz Kafka. Franz discovers unexpected fame and utter embarrasment at the thought of having his sexual organs bandied about in public. The author is lost in a great sea of literary criticism. The author's work is forgotten or only half remembered:

KAFKA: . . . A beetle.

BROD: Say again?

KAFKA: Not a cockroach. You said cockroach. It was a beetle.

BROD: Will you listen to this man. I make him world famous and he quibbles over entomology.

Franz is himself oblivious to it all:

SYDNEY: . . . What you're saying is he doesn't know he's Kafka.

BROD: He knows he's Kafka. He doesn't know he's KAFKA.

This makes for some truly fine comedy at the expense of authors, critics, publishers, and readers of fine literature. A bit of the humor, however, is a little Kafka-specific (which is to be expected, really). This might make the show suffer from the same intellectual inaccessability that it complains of in the world of literary criticism. Nevertheless, I found the text to be quite amusing having only read the standard required Kafka short stories. This was mostly due to it's truly bizarre nature. The play ends on an odd twist with Kafka in heaven:

(The music swells as GOD and CARMEN MIRANDA dance. Then it fades as KAFKA comes forward to the audience.)

KAFKA: I'll tell you something. Heaven is going to be hell.
