    4 out of 5 stars Not bad.......2006-03-24

    Not the most fun read, but it got the job done for the class I was taking

    5 out of 5 stars Good, solid advice.......2006-03-15

    Despite some "sexist" references to everyone being female in this book, it certainly provided me with the information I was looking for in a format that was easily managed and a good read. Since I am not an accounting type, I think Emma really met the challenge when she wrote a book that I found easy to follow.

    4 out of 5 stars Great Basic Information.......2006-03-11

    Well written and easy to understand but a bit on the simplistic side for anyone who has been working in the industry for an extended length of time.

        Book Description

        Modern Portfolio Theory explores how risk averse investors construct portfolios in order to optimize market risk against expected returns. The theory quantifies the benefits of diversification.

        Modern Portfolio Theory provides a broad context for understanding the interactions of systematic risk and reward. It has profoundly shaped how institutional portfolios are managed, and has motivated the use of passive investment management techniques, and the mathematics of MPT is used extensively in financial risk management.

        Advances in Portfolio Construction and Implementation offers practical guidance in addition to the theory, and is therefore ideal for Risk Mangers, Actuaries, Investment Managers, and Consultants worldwide. Issues are covered from a global perspective and all the recent developments of financial risk management are presented. Although not designed as an academic text, it should be useful to graduate students in finance.

        *Provides practical guidance on financial risk management
        *Covers the latest developments in investment portfolio construction
        *Full coverage of the latest cutting edge research on measuring portfolio risk, alternatives to mean variance analysis, expected returns forecasting, the construction of global portfolios and hedge portfolios (funds)

                  Schroeder and Lombardo have aptly applied their knowledge and expertise stemming from years of service on the force combined with years of teaching and consulting experience to create a timely and useful manual for law enforcement management and supervision. The many roles of the manager and supervisor are clearly defined and discussed at length, providing the reader with an apparent understanding about the satisfaction as well as the difficulty connected with successful leadership. Each chapter focuses on a specific function of the manager-supervisor; it is then broken down into the basic elements to which a successful law enforcement manager and supervisor must respond on a daily basis. This publication is a must not only for anyone studying for promotion in law enforcement, but also for current managers-supervisors who would like to improve their on-the-job performance. Topics include principles associated with a police supervisor's or manager's role as a leader, planner, communicator, performance evaluator, trainer, disciplinarian, and human relations specialist. And chapter 3 on The Managerial Function of Planning has been fully updated for the 4th edition. Additionally, the manager-supervisor will learn techniques pertaining to problem solving, field operations, and multicultural issues. Following each chapter is a short section to Test Your Understanding.

                  1 out of 5 stars Drawn out and boring, hard to understand.......2007-05-13

                  I found Supervision of Police Personnel (6TH) to be pretty much drawn out and boring. It is painfully evident that the same information could have been relayed in a lot less then 400 boring pages. It was difficult to follow and often repetitive. A lot of detail was focused on irrelevant material. This was a difficult book for me to swallow (as a 12 year LEO), but it certainly rated high as a sleep aid for me.

                  5 out of 5 stars Supervision of Police Personnel.......2007-03-10

                  It is a very good informational source for anyone that wants to pursue a promotion in police work. The review questions at the end of each chapter are convenient and helpful.

                  2 out of 5 stars Don't pay for this book..........2006-11-29

                  Don't spend a dime...borrow it from a fellow Officer. I am a firm believer in capitalism, but these guys are really pushing the envelope. $99.00?! Nathan can keep the book!
                  Is the content any good? Yes, it is solid, however basic, leadership for Police Officers. But $99.00?! Go read something by Covey...it is a hell of a lot cheaper and far less boring.

                  1 out of 5 stars Sleeping Material.......2006-11-10

                  This book is so dry and painful to look at. It's great to look at right before you go to bed to ensure a great nights sleep.

                  2 out of 5 stars Some good info... but rambling and poorly written.......2006-10-23

                  This text is required reading for many taking police promotional exams. While there is some good information in it, it is rambling and poorly written. There are some indications that the book is not properly reviewed and edited before each new reprint. I hope the seventh edition is better and ties together the concepts clearly. There are several chapetes that are seperated but could easily dovetail into one. I found a 107 word run-on sentence (p.139), and it was by no means an exhaustive search -- there are many such examples. You can make it enjoyable to a degree by trying to find the number of times "catharsis" and "splendid" appear, but other than that, have your asprin bottle handy. I'd recommend a study guide such as Sgt. Walker recommends, or try to outline the thing yourself. Good luck.

                  5 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good for a promotional book.......2005-04-24

                  This book is currently being used for the Lt's promotional exam in Houston, Texas. As promotional books, it is pretty useful. The text covers all of the topics that a supervisor/ manager should know (Management Styles/Leadership Theory/Communications, etc..) without going into too much depth as some texts do. There is enough material to make it challenging, but what is important to me is that after the test is over, there still is worth to this book. They list resources, ideas, and plans that can be converted to your departments use. If your studying, good luck. If you just want to pick up some ideas on the latest in police management theory, this is still a good book to study!

                  I do have one question for the authors if they ever read their reviews. Page 207... Sources of Organizational Stress... what happened to sources three and four???? I am hoping it is an editing error, cuz while I can stretch officers'views to fit #3, I cannot find #4 to save my life (or test score)... :)

                    2 out of 5 stars Poorly written list of lists.......2007-03-20

                    I was forced to read this book as part of a promotional process..... The book is very disjointed and should be titled "Fifteen Essays on Police Supervision." The entire book reads like a book written entirely to test from in an academic arena. From an instructional stand point the book is fantastic to test from each chapter exposes the reader to concepts and a multitude of lists that the instructor may pull questions from. The problem being that each chapter extols the virtues of the listed concept and why it is the most important factor in supervision. Unfortunately, two chapters later there is a new "Responsibility" that is the most important to police supervision, and a new reordered list. The author even makes the error of defining terms with the term used as a definition for itself?

                    In short avoid this book unless it is required reading, or you intend to test from it on a chapter by chapter basis.... Even then there are far better titles to expose students to.

                    1 out of 5 stars Horrible!!.......2005-09-11

                    This book is just plain bad. Writer has very hard time getting anything across clearly..way to wordy for the simple messages that he is trying to get across. Avoid if at all possible unless you like to sleep!! or if you have to read it for a test...even then not worth it!!

                    1 out of 5 stars Long winded........2005-03-27

                    The only reason anyone would read this book is because it was listed as required reading for a promotional exam. Mr Whisenand is out of his mind and should limit his writing to something he has firsthand experience in. Read this book only if you are having insomnia.

                    1 out of 5 stars Tiresome, windy, unrealistic, list happy.......2002-09-01

                    This guy is out of his mind. A very frustrating read which makes U.S Army technical manuals seem fascinating. Mr. Whisenand is an obvious scholar, but I fear his "book of lists" does not translate all that well to actual human beings. In addition, I found the section on "community oriented policing" especially overblown. He fails to consider the prosecutorial implications of stating that "long and detailed reports are turnoffs to many people" (page 331, paragraph 1), they're turnoffs to defense attornies too!
                    Again, an extremely intelligent man and dilligent social scientist, but this book is horrible.

                    2 out of 5 stars Supervising Police Personnel.......2001-09-28

                    This book is entirly overwritten. It is very listy, for example, It tells you that there is 6 characteristics of a well written report. Then in the very next line he tells of the 6 different types of reports. Then he goes further to break down each type of report and explain what they are and why they are used. The ideas are notable. However the book's content is poorly written and is more for the overall manager not specific to police services. And yes, one needs to do the job before one can write about it.
