Ella Fitzgerald loved "Paris in the Springtime," Bogie and Bergman would "always have Paris," and Hemingway found Paris A Moveable Feast--the City of Light has plenty of fans, and for good reason. Paris is, quite simply, magic. In Travelers' Tales Paris, 43 essayists attempt to convey their experience of the city. Jack E. Bronston shares his passion for the French encyclopedia set Vie et Histoire, which covers in 20 volumes Paris's 20 arondissements, and takes you on a tour of the ninth arondissement while he's at it. In "Hair Pierre," Cailin Boyle attempts to master French chic along with the language: "Always wear tight jeans. Anywhere and anyhow. A must. Even at funerals. And heels. Podiatrists must retire early in France.... Carry an overstuffed shoulder bag. Watch for signs of curvature of the spine." In "Bearing Witness," Therese Lung describes in loving detail the quotidian life on the tiny Rue Watt--an old, unknown street where "elaborate, traditional iron banisters and streetlight globes separate pedestrians from the street on a raised sidewalk, turning it into a promenade"--just before it is to be demolished to provide underground parking for a new library.

John Gregory Dunne, Jan Morris, Edmund White, and Ina Caro are just a few of the contributors to this glowing paean to Paris; French strippers, the forest at Fontainbleu, a one-night stand with an unexpected partner--with each essay, a different facet of Paris emerges. For those readers who have visited Paris, Travelers' Tales Paris is likely to bring back memories; for those who haven't, it will provide some inspiration to go.

An American in Paris.......2001-03-08

Ahhh Paris. As a graduate student fortunate to be studying in Paris, I found myself falling into the dull routine of class and studying. I was failing to appreciate one of the prettiest cities on earth. This book opened my eyes to the multitude of interesting "trucs" around me in the Latin Quarter. Although some of the stories are more interesting than others, there is genuinely something for everyone's taste in this book. I now often study at the "Deux Magots" cafe due to its history and popularity with Jean Paul Sartres and Simone de Beauvoir that I read about. This book is wonderful for anyone interested in Paris, wanting to take a mental journey there, or a seasoned traveller who thinks they already know Paris. Anyone armed with "Paris Traveler's Tales" can discover the "Joie de Vivre" en Paris!

"çà, c'est paris"!.......2000-09-16

"çà, c'est paris"! is a popular french song from WWII period. Parisians sang it when Paris was delivered by US and french troops. This is the song I started whislting when I read the first pages and table of contents of this book. It's good to read paris guide books where you're not obliged to go through 50 pages of historical descriptions before you understand what paris is all about. This book is not dull. It is well documented even if this documentation has nothing to do with "classical" culture. It belongs to a tradition in French publishing business: collection of essays written by famous writers about a specific place. In this case, I do not know the writers (I am french)and am not influenced by their past works. One could imagine to publish the same kind of books with texts from Victor Hugo, Ernst Hemmingway and other famous writers.

Travel Companion.......1999-10-19

Like TT: France, this book is a perfect way to prepare psychologically for entering La France. Its collection of essays on living or traveling in Paris has passionate tales and historical accounts.

A book like this is an excellent way to give you pointers on Paris city life. I would never have thought of experiencing the Turkish bathes of a Paris without the wonderful story in TT: Paris. And many would find it maudlin to go exploring Pere Lachaise cemetery, until reading some stories of the experience.

Rick Steves' travel guides do a good job of highlighting particular things to see. Travelers' Tales take the experience to a deeper level.

A luminous collection about the City of Light.......1999-10-07

If I had not already been Paris-bound, this book assuredly would have had me calling the airlines. What a wonderful, eclectic collection of essays! The piece on Ste. Chappelle, for example, actually manages to convey the jaw-dropping, heart-clenching, breath-taking sheer beauty of the place. Other pieces, such as SOS Medecin, captured utterly the blend of whimsy and solemnity that is Paris. You don't have to be headed for Paris to love this book; you don't even have to be a traveler.

Evocative and informative.......1999-05-16

I took one of the Traveler's Tales books on my trip to Paris, and bought this one when I got back. One of the stories made me miss Paris so much that I wept. I'm doling the stories out slowly to make them last. If you love Paris, this book will keep your psychic connection alive.

Book Description

Small-cap stocks have long been instrumental in profitable portfolios, offering many attractive fundamentals. But without sound knowledge and a risk-wise strategy, red chips can be dangerous turf. Small-Cap Dynamics explains the nature of small-cap cycles and why investors have favored small stocks over the long term. It also elucidates the dynamic issues driving this market sector as well as the dramatic shifts that occur as small stocks evolve into large stocks--and how investors can capitalize on these shifts.

Highly Recommended!.......2003-03-06

One of the top experts in the field, Satya Dev Pradhuman has written an exhaustive study of small-cap investing. While this textbook-style exploration is hardly the place to look for exciting prose, the author does a grand job of harvesting every minute detail of his subject matter, and includes not only the fundamentals, but plenty of practical advice, helpful charts and graphs. We from getAbstract recommend this book to all investors.

Do you trust your broker's advice?.......2002-06-05

For the individual investor, I would give this book a single star. I should have seen the warning signs ... "Bloomberg Professional Library" and the author's "views are widely quoted in the financial press." Brokers may find this volume useful in providing market timing and trading strategies that their customers are expecting.

The author targets only subjective and qualitative "insights", with very little data and no statistical analysis. If the author's job title of "quantitative strategist" is to be taken seriously, we would expect some supporting evidence (ie returns data) that the strategies produce results. Show us the yachts.

If you are looking for a quantatative discussion of analysis and models, look elsewhere. Insights in this book impress me as purest hand-waving, and the text is loaded with equivocation, suggestion and speculation.

A bit academic, but very good........2001-12-28

A little bit boring at first, but very thorough. Especially the strategies on momentum and EPS revisions are very interesting. For this part alone I would buy the book, because this is really practical and straightforward and will make you money in the long term.

The most comprehensive book on small caps.......2001-07-27

Mr. Pradhuman has done a fantastic and thorough job of explaining everything you ever wanted to know about small cap stocks. Admittedly this book is probably more for professional investors than for individuals, but it is a must if you are a serious small cap investor. When you read this book, you will understand why he is Wall Street's #1 ranked Small Cap Strategist.

Oustanding Overview.......2001-02-14

I think that too many people invest without thinking why, they do it without a strategy or a framework. This book helps you undertsand the small cap market and guides you in your quest for superior long term returns. If you are looking for the "stock of the day" stay in the chatrooms.

Customer Reviews:

It got me through Econometrics.......2002-01-26

This was an extremely useful book for the understanding of Statistics and Econometrics. Each topic had examples to show how the formulas work. The computer chapter went over the programming in SAS, Excel, and Eviews for the problems in the book. Best of all, the problems had answers. This is a must-have for beginning statistics and econometrics since it starts from scratch, and for theory students in search of an application.

Effective refresher ... Efficient reference.......2007-01-07

I recommend this text to financial professionals I teach ... VERY helpful to clear the cobwebs several years after college!

Great for more advanced courses...........2006-12-12

I bought this book as a study aid for my Elementary Statistics class. Although the book does give you many examples to help solve, it gets a little too complicated for a beginning statistics class. It became hard to sort through the things I needed to gain a basic understanding of the fundamentals of statistics. If you are needing this book for your job or a more advanced statistics course, I would recommend it, but it's one for the beginner to leave alone.

Comprehensive Guide to Statistics.......2006-06-13

This excellent book provides a comprehensive look at statistical methods. It's a great reference guide with 19 chapters, each of which build nicely on one another.

Chapters 1 through 11 lay the foundation of statistical study and the reader should benefit greatly from this framework.

Specifically, Chapters 1 through 3 cover Variables and Graphs, Frequency Distributions and Mean-Median-Mode concepts. Chapters 4 through 6 move on to cover Standard Deviation, Skewness and Elementary Probability Theory. Chapter 7 then discusses Binomial, Normal and Poisson Distributions.

Chapters 8, 9, 10 and 11 delve into Sampling, Statistical Estimation, Statistical Decision and Small Sampling Theory.

The remaining chapters offer practical insights into such topics as Chi-Square test, Correlation Theory, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Time Series Analysis and Statistical Process Control. Much of this appears in the CFA curriculum and therefore is a worthy supplemental study.

True to its format, this Schaum's book helps readers via its question and answer format in each of its chapters. Going through these problems teaches and reinforces concepts taught in the first pages of each chapter in the book.

Great job authors! I'm hoping others will benefit from this book too.

Schaum's Outline of Statistics.......2006-03-03

This is a handy desk guide to statistics for someone who needs a statistical referemce as part of their job but is not a statistician, ie, performance management, data preparation or other information analysis. I compared this book to many others and found it the most comprehensive.

A Failed Attempt .......2005-01-12

This book is sloppily edited, with numerous typos in the equations. Page 91 has two symbolic errors plus a text error.
Overbar omitted twice on page 19 giving a nonsensical formula Z = (X - X)/s

Excellent book.......2007-09-23

very good book----I never read statistics before. Now I am securing A grade in weekly assignment refering this book

Not as sleepy as the average Statistics Book..........2007-05-14

But still as boring as watching grass grow! Honestly, the methodology of statistics/economics/finance/accounting, etc: is a major "yawn" for many. I personally excel at "applied economics", in other words, "How does this affect me/you/us?"

My professor used this book as a supplement to his "Statistics II" class, and it was "above average" in that regard, as was he.

Just remember, if you need this type of book to understand the methodology of "bean-counting", then this is better than any other I've seen in it's type. IT IS A VERY HARD SUBJECT, SO YOU MUST BREAK YOUR BACK AND CONCENTRATE- THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU TO DO THAT. THERE IS NO MAGIC-BULLET BOOK, that I know of, FOR STATISTICS II!!! STUDY HARD!!!

Easy to understand. Lots of exercises. .......2006-07-13

As a teacher I have found this book very practical for my students. It has plenty of resolved exercises, 100% of them focused on Business and Economics. Also this book introduces Statistics in a more "informal" way that makes it easier for a non-mathematician student to understand. It lacks strong statistic theory so if you are looking for a more profound book this is not what you would like to choose. But in terms of exercises is the best.

Great book to understand Statistics!.......2004-07-26

Another fine book by Schaum's outline. For anyone who has lost touch with the world of statistics, this book is a must read. It has clear definitions, examples and complicated explanations if you wish to dig deeper. I recommend this book to all college students, undergraduate and even MBA students. For financial analysis, marketing, and social research, this book is wonderful.

If you must buy a stats book then I guess this would be as good as any other pocket reference guide. Why bother? There are enough fantastic websites with answers to your stats questions. Surf Amazon for a stats package reference book and like Excel, Minitab, SAS, etc. The title says it all: "Easy Outline." It's an accurate title, but the content isn't overly helpful. If you are completely new to Stats then you'll need more help than this book can give. If you are a bit rusty, then Google will have your answers.
