Bank

This title contains excellent explanation on protocols of various types of electronic payment systems. The contents are not limited to well-known protocols such as SSL and SET (even these are explained clearly)-- the authors succeeded in writing on almost all payment systems from today's systems of banks and EDI to cryptographic protocols including micropayment (NetBill, Millicent, Mondex, etc.) and some digital moneys. Also mechanisms of integrated circuit cards are included. Most protocols are clearly described with many charts. If you want to be familiar with electronic payment systems, this book is a must.

This book is useful both for economic and legal analysis of financial institutions. It provides a plausible model to explain the corporate mechanism of a commercial bank, taking into account shareholders', lenders' (depositors'), and regulators' incentives. Although it does not provide any analysis of statutes or codes of banking laws, the model is simple enough to consider any rules in banking industry, from law and economics point of view, both domestic and international. It also provides brief analysis of specific financial schemes, such as scuritization, market value accounting, and more. Anyone who is interested in banking industry will find it worth spending several hours to at least scan through the content of this book.

I'm surprised most people don't know about this book. "Pursuit of Happiness" contains the short story "Fight Club" by Chuck Palahniuk, the basis for his book and the subsequent movie of the same title. A magnificent read, and a neat (if not rare) little book!

This is a great book for bedtime or to take on the road for Dr.s visits and downtime for children primarily under 8. Easy to read in a few minutes or if your kids are getting the swing of the easy rebus style of the book-they'll want to read it again and again. Colorful water color pictures let you or your child read the pictures into the worded sentences. Mostly in rhyme and a little silly, you'll find yourselves giggling at the thought of "Kangaroos paddling canoes" or "Giraffe sailing in rafts". Our second copy, now with precious pages missing, has taught our children the rythym and cadence of rhyme and helps them anticipate word connections. "Mother bear said, this time don't forget to comb your hair" with the comb illustrated by a drawing of a pretty yellow comb.The next time mother bear had to remind little bear to comb his hair. The word comb was written out-but a picture instead of a little bears brown hair was pictured for the reader to use as the rebus. What a confidence builder this lovely book is. A real find for readers with children who love word play and rhyme-It will keep both the reader and the read-ee amused for many fun filled hours-

My daughter's teacher told us that she is ready to start reading and suggested that I get this book. Since my daughter loves the 3 bears I thought it would be a good choice. What a great book. The words are highlighted with pictures making it really easy to learn the words and grasp the concept that letters make words that you can read. For example the word "house" has a picture of a house with the word "house" over it. The first time we read it together, now my daughter reads to me. It is a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend this book!

Brilliant economic insight and a unique focus on the human element of banking.
