exchange

This book gives only ideas about collaborating, how you gonna do it is up to you.. I have waited patiently till the end of the book to find something usefull but where you think that might be usefull Mr. Semeniuk only points out some other sources. If you wanna see what might collaboration is and want to read 500 pages, this book is for you, but you gonna do some development and need something realistic, try something else.. i gonna look at exchange programming books of wrox and mspress.. two stars are for the first two chapters, which really do the overview job of the book well enough..

This is a book that will provide the reader with a solid understanding of how to create a collaborative solution and not what solution to create. The different pieces of the collaborative 'technology' are explained from Exchange to Outlook to Outlook Web Acess to Digital Dashboards.

The reader is not assaulted with several technical details but is provided with a solid foundation of information, what is and is not possible, for each of the technology pieces. Then the reader is shown three examples that combine the different pieces into practical real world solutions.

If you what to know how to create collaborative solution and not what to create, this book is for you.

As great as it is, this book is useful only to Exchange (with Outlook) administrators or on a similar level or higher. It goes into great detail above and beyond standard knowledge of Exchange with Outlook. It is perfectly suited to those involved in customizing Exchange with Outlook for their company. Cascading Style Sheets, VBScript, Digital Dashboards, etc. are introduced for those who want Exchange with Outlook to do more than just send and receive email.

This book performs a valuable service to novice investors by explaining some of the realities of the stock market. Unfortunately, the poor editing makes the book awkward to read and unnecessarily hard to understand. If the publisher could do something about that before bringing out the next edition, the book could become a classic.

With better editing this book could have been a classic. The authors perform a valuable service in disposing of some common illusions regarding the stock market, but the reading experience is marred by frequent defects in the English.

This is an excellent book that is still useful years after publication. I would love to see it back in print so I can buy several more copies.

The book is a fair overview of foreing exchange risk with lots of formulas. I couldn't find much on "advanced strategies for global corporations." For example, less than two pages are used to discuss zero-premium collar programs. It might be OK for new global investors but it's got very little for corporate treasurers.

This book is a good intro to FX risk. Plenty of real world examples serve to drive key points home. Good deal for those looking to learn the basics very quickly but also provides insight into more sophisticated theory.

This second edition has been greatly expanded with materials on the mechanics of the foreign exchange and options markets. The sections on the international monetary system have been updated, especially with respect to the European monetary system. New sections have been added on exotic currency options, specifically on barriers, average rate, basket and quantos options. There are two new chapters, one on currency option applications and another on currency overlay management.

The book is meant to describe market microstructure. My discovery is that one needs to know a lot about the subject matter to get anything out of it. I had the feeling of reading footnotes without seeing the text! It quotes authors and papers without the slightest indication as to what they are about. I do not recommend it. But there are other books covering the subject. Campbell, Lo and McKinlay (The Econometrics of Financial Markets) proovides in one chapter more information that this book. FInally, there is a French book on the topic that is excellent; it would call for a translation (the authors are Biais,Foucault & Hillion).

This is the quintessential book on the theory of the microstructure of financial markets. Although it is not meant for people with just a casual interest in the area, it is nevertheless an indispensable book for academics and for people serious about the topic.

It is also far more readable and understandable than Daniel Spurber's book which provides little of the working intuition of O'Hara. In fact Spurber is meant more for the theoretical economist with an interest in market microstructure, whereas O'Hara appeals to a broader audience in the field of finance.

This book does not need praise. It is widely considered the best introduction to the academic work in market microstructure. The only reason I've listed this review is to counter the unfortunate review already listed. This book is perfect for the researcher or PhD student interested in the issues addressed in market microstructure. Although the book is not written for the average mba student, a careful read would benefit anyone interested in the structure of markets.

I learned nothing from this book. It simply tells you what is required by the exam and where to find information sources. This book is a glorified outline of exam 70-224 and that is all.

This is true Book to check your readiness to Exam 70-224 . I belive it will give overall assessment for your knowledge about Exchange 2000 . A must to pass th exam .

Recently, I was preparing the exam but puzzled with other informations. But after I had read the book and CD-ROM, it's was really convinient to come with the exam. And I also Really Recommend MCSE Training Kit-MS Exchange2000 Server! Wow! It is Fascinating to follow the Multimedia Guides!!!

I write as an economist who works in behavioral ecology in general, and on the analytical modeling and empirical testing of theories of reciprocity in particular. From my point of view, the book leaves much to be desired.

I do not have the expertise to comment on the author's neuroscientific arguments. Whatever their value, his applications to economics and the other social sciences are highly general and superficial, consisting of quoting some authorities from the past and interspersing one or two current references on a given topic. The link between neuroscience and behavioral ecology is pure hand-waving.

It was a pleasure to read Gerald Cory's pathbreaking new book The Reciprocal Modular Brain in Economics and Politics. This book represents a profoundly important synthesis of neuroscience, Paul Maclean's triune brain theory, psychology, sociology, and economic theory that revolves around Cory's central thesis that human beings are more than inherently selfish, bloodlessly rational, and price-driven consumers of material goods; yes, we humans are selfish, scarcity-obsessed products of millions of years of biological evolution and thousands of years of cultural evolution, but Cory convinces us that we are equally designed to love, cooperate, and share fairly with other members of our species. Cory has forever shattered the brittle and Procrustean notion that we human beings are nothing more than robotic pawns of our own self-interest- we are instead vibrant, dynamic, and not always perfectly predictable social beings and the social science and economic theory of the next millenium must confront that fact. As icing on the cake, the book is eloquently and engagingly written and will certainly be a major intellectual contribution in a number of domains of thought: evolutionary cognitive psychology, the neuroscience of triune brain theory, social psychology, and evolutionary-based economic theory.

Gerald Cory's The Reciprocal Modular Brain in Politics and Economics is a nice short book that is ahead of its time in relating the human brain to the social sciences. First of all he argues forcefully that whatever details of its methodology need to be ironed out, Paul MacLean's seminal theory of the Triune Brain (reptilian for habits, old mammalian for emotions, and new mammalian for reason) remains fresh and relevant for human social behavior. Then he proceeds to discuss how these different parts of the brain contribute to economic and political behavior. In particular he counters the bias that still prevails among academic economists in favor of self-interest by stating that self-interest and empathy (based on both reciprocity AND concern for others) are both important, and there is a constant tension and trade-off between the two.

This book is almost more a manifesto than it is a detailed academic argument. But at this stage of knowledge that is precisely what is needed: it lays out a fundamental set of ideas that need to be considered by academic social scientists really interested in the betterment of society. The general argument still needs to be fleshed out with details both at the biological/psychological end and at the economic/political end. But Cory provides a vitally important set of organizing principles that the people searching for the details can hang their hats on. For this reason I think it is must reading both for socially progressive economics and political scientists and for psychologists seeking to apply their work to bettering human institutions.

The stock market barometer is a completely unecessary defense of what the stock market is. It provides an incredible amount of uninteresting and completely trivious information. It is definitely NOT a must read.

William Hamilton was the successor (both at the Wall Street Journal and in expounding the Dow Theory) to Charles Dow, and the one who clarified the Dow Theory as most people understand it today. To students of the Dow Theory, and of Wall Street and Investment history in general, this is a must-have volume. Also see works by Robert Rhea.

This is a great book. There is just one update in the introduction. The rest of the book still maintains its 100 year old roots.

As a financial author I am always inclined to look to the past for answers. This book orignially written by Mr.Dow, of Dow Jones Industrial Average fame, still is very relevant today.

It's interesting to compare the rebuilding of ground zero to that of other cities, and puts the destruction of the WTC in perspective. Having worked for a large 9/11 relief fund, I know first hand how grieving families are preoccupied with what will become of Ground Zero and even its smallest particles of dust (thought to be the remains of loved ones.) Tying together memorialization and urbanization in this way is a great concept -this NY public space will always be personal for us at many levels.

Having said that, the design is a bit overdone. You don't know where to look with its melange of maps, colors and varying text sizes. Clearly intended for those with a design eye, as opposed to those more interested in the social and political perspectives.

Comparing the rebuilding of New York, with that of other cities, is an interesting concept. Having worked for one of the biggest 9-11 Relief Funds in New York I know that Ground Zero, and what becomes of it, is a very important part of the grieving process for families who lost someone. Even the smallest particles of dust remaining at Ground Zero are thought to be the remains of loved ones whose bodies were incinerated. The book is great for bringing together ideas about memorialization and rebuilding. Also, our whole New York Ground Zero focus is put into perspective.

That said, the design could stand to be a bit friendlier to people interested in the text. You find yourself not knowing where to look - maps, bold colors, varying text sizes. Understandably, though, the people reading the book will be coming at it from a design perspective as opposed to a social/political perspective.

Information Exchange: How Cities Renew, Rebuild, and Remember is a concise work published by architectural and urban design advocate Van Alen Institute. Instigated by the events of September 11th, this book examines seven cities forced to rebuild after a catastrophic event (be it an act of man or nature). Opening with the unfinished chronicle of New York City's revisioning operation, a genealogy of rebuilding in various cities-Beirut, Berlin, Kobe, Manchester, Oklahoma City, San Francisco, Sarajevo-is subsequently presented to illuminate successful strategies, common points of contention, and creative solutions to this monumental, complex, and harrowing task.

Americans, particularly New Yorkers-having endlessly obsessed themselves with the multitudinous accounts of September 11th-may find the book's opening precis of this tragedy to be insensitive in its brevity. The equally short synopses of the 7 other urban reconstructions, however, are entirely new; providing the reader with a unique and interesting information set that, till recently, was relatively obscure and unexamined. Each chapter begins with a short, if not slightly narrow, timeline of the each city's operation-starting with the tragedy and proceeding with a dissection of the various stages of recovery. The timelines then are followed by more illustrative and often insightful interviews or essays written by different contributors.

Through the essays and dialogues several questions surface from one chapter to the next. What begets the most progressive and enlightened designs? How does a public process find a voice in this arena? How should the collective memory of the tragedy be represented in a memorial? Should such an initiative be publicly or privately managed? How does such a daunting project obtain adequate financing? And while it becomes clear through the course of this study that every city is unique and presents its own set of obstacles and invitations, there are recurring solutions-rendering this work required reading for anyone involved the rebuilding of Ground Zero.

Fashioned in the now ubiquitous Bruce Mau graphic style, Information Exchange is a flashy package that reads more like a magazine than a weighty research volume. One could finish this pithy book almost accidentally. And though it does not necessarily come to any definitive conclusions nor does is pursue a single thesis, Information Exchange is a worthwhile sampling. Its theme is interesting, its essays provocative, and its varied perspectives refreshing.

How long did it take to return a useless book for a refund - less than 24 hours.

Really I should not have picked up this book.

There is no real insight, useful tips, or real meat to this book. If you're looking for screen pictures well you've found them and that's about all.

It's a very cursory, generic overview of Exchange 2000 Server barley touching on any subject in any real depth. Just one man's opinion.

Not a bad administration guide-walks you through common admin task, but lacks information actually planning an Exchange implementation. A good book to stick by the server for reference, but not to plan a new installation- the MS Admin Comp does a better job.

I had bought a couple of other books that were way over my head, but this one actually made sense and I could see what was going on. In comparison to the Exch. Black Book I bought, this one reads like English as opposed to greek.

The Exchange 5 Source Book written by Mann, Bracka, et al is very difficult to follow. It seems like it was written very fast by many people and pulled together at the last minute. There are many disjointed segments that are often repeated in other portions of the book. There are references throughout the book to other sections that in some cases do not even exist. Overall the book is a general overview of Exchange Server and Exchange/Outlook clients. I used the book as a background to the Microsoft course work and did find it to supplement the material somewhat. One notable well-written section is on designing and installing an Exchange system. In addition, some of the material on Internet connections was good. I would recommend waiting for some of the other Exchange 5.0 books that are scheduled for publication in the next few months

I found the book to be difficult to follow in most areas, particulary in setting up clients and how they communicate with the server. Does anyone know of a good Exchange book, I mean really good from start of the setup (server) to enterprise messaging systems all at a reasonable level of difficulty. e-mail me at venlov@globalserve.net

This book is pretty general, it gives a good overview, thats about it
