Explains Odd Number Questions, Skips Evens.......2007-02-14
This book DOES NOT have the answers to the even numbers. If you look in your original textbook (Introductory Mathematical Analysis), the back of the book just gives you the ODD answers without an explanation.
While this Student Solutions Manual does an OK job of explaining how they got an answer, I was under the impression that it did all the problems.
THIS BOOK ONLY SOLVES THE ODDS -- NOT THE EVENS.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent.......2000-08-05
I found this book to be an excellent Math study with real-world applications. It develops the reader's skills from the simple stuff (that one is to embarrassed to say she needs to study) to reasonably involved applications with problems in economics, finance, and the like. I'm using it to prepare for business school, so I don't get crushed by finance geeks from Wall Street. I heartily recommend it.

This is a good, comprehensive guide for preparing for retirement.
Customer Reviews:
funny, and great illustrations.......2006-02-07
I think the book was funny especailly the part when Mr. Rivera went fishing and caught Miss Belle. The illustrations are so funny and the story makes you laugh and happy.
A unique, original, and superbly presented picturebook.......2005-11-03
Elementary school teacher Mrs. Belle is off to summer camp to be the Head Counselor. The eccentric Mrs. Belle insists on wearing ballet slippers for all the camp events and activities (including hiking, bowling, and scuba diving!) which is plunging the camp kids, staff and the owner Mr. Rivera into upheaval and disorder. Can the children devise a compromise between Mrs. Belle and Mr. Rivera (who wants her to be in normal, sensible shoes) that will take into account Mrs. Belle's sore feet? Imaginatively written for readers ages 4 to 104 by Sheila and Letty Sustrin, and energetically illustrated with the artwork of Thomas H. Bone III, The Teacher Who Would Not Retire Goes To Camp is a unique, original, and superbly presented picturebook whose story and imagery will capture the delighted attention of readers from first page to last.
The Misses Sustrin Do It Again.......2005-10-21
The Sustrin's second book is equal to their first, "The Teacher Who Would Not Retire". The story is delightful and entertaining; the illustrations are wonderful and jump right off the pages. I took care of a great portion of my Christmas gift list by purchasing numerous copies of this book.
Book Description
The Teacher Who Would Not Retire is a humorous portrayal of one first grade teacher who will do anything to continue to stay involved with her students--including coming to school disguised as a window washer, a firefighter, and a cafeteria cook. The children recognize her every time because of her distinctive ballet slippers.
Grandparents, teachers, and parents will love this fun way to teach children about retirement and the love of learning.
Customer Reviews:
Beautiful story.......2003-05-09
This book is a wonderful tale of a dedicated teacher who is not quite ready to retire although she must. She reappears as school workers but the children always know who she is, much to their delight. The story is adorable, the pictures are striking. I bought copies for retiring friends and my grandchildren. I hope there is a sequel.
Mrs. Belle perseveres........2002-11-01
Mrs. Belle is an interesting character who does not want to retire even though she has been asked to. It gives children a picture of a woman who loves being a teacher and coming to work each day; a woman who has to plot and scheme to keep daily contact with the children she loves. It is a great story about a real life situation and how perseverance pays off for Mrs. Belle. The story and colorful illustrations make the book come alive. I purchased a copy for all the children on my Christmas list.
Fun and educational.......2002-10-31
Children will love this beautifully illustrated story about a charming teacher who has delighted her children with her energy and humor. Mrs. Belle loves to be with children and young readers will love to be with her!
A must read book.......2002-10-27
The Teacher Who Would Not Retire is a wonderful and funny book about a teacher who retires, but still wants to be involved with the students. Follow Mrs. Belle as she tries funny ways to get back into the school. Parents, students and teachers will enjoy reading this book.
The Teacher Who Would Not Retire.......2002-10-27
I read this delightful book and giggled at the many ways Mrs. Belle tried to remain at her job. As a teacher who is close to retirement, I feel many of the ways Mrs. Belle did. But I have so much more to do! Us old teachers always feel indispensable; indeed who will take our place in the hearts of our beloved children who often know us better than we think? This would be a wonderful book to read out loud to the young children who will come to school next fall and no longer see their "old teacher" in her room. I purchased another copy for a retiring friend just because it is possibly the only children's book on retirement I have seen. Just a joyous book to share! The pictures are adorable and those ballet slippers....

Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis
ASIN: 1576752496 |
Book Description
Three trends are on a collision course: an aging population, the use of stocks to create paper wealth, and baby boomers' plans to use that wealth to retire. This book explains the hazards of relying on the stock market and offers balanced advice on how boomers can meet their retirement needs.
Customer Reviews:
Let me recommend better books on the subject. Read why........2006-12-29
The author recognizes the challenge of an aging society captured by the forthcoming decline in the number of employees per retirees. But, both Laurence Kotlikoff and Robert Stowe England have analyzed this situation far better. The author's average understanding of demographics combined with ignorance of economics has resulted in a moribund book.
The author constantly focuses on the wrong thing. It is not so much Social Security that has an actuarial problem. It is Medicare because it compounds the force of technology driven healthcare costs with the demographics of an aging society. Social Security has to deal with only the lesser of those two forces. 80% of the problem associated with our unfunded social entitlement costs come from Medicare not Social Security (see Kotlikoff).
He thinks retirement plans are excessively concentrated in stocks. They are not. Social Security is invested in Treasuries. Pension funds have a mix of stocks and bonds of 60%/40%; meanwhile 401Ks are closer to 50%/50% mix. The retirement of Baby Boomers is more dependent on bonds than stocks.
He is obsessed by all evils of stocks. But, the retiring of the Baby Boom generation will affect bonds, real estate, and other asset classes just as much. He does not recognize that any investment's market value represents the present value of its discounted future cash flows. As Baby Boomers will sell their portfolio investments, it will increase the discount rate for all investments. This is the case because every investment class competes with each other. There is nothing inherently worst about stocks vs other investments.
His Phantom Wealth concept is nonsense. He does not understand that a stock market value is supported by earnings. If a company stock has a P/E ratio of 10, and its earnings increased from $10 to $100 with a resulting increase in market value from $100 to $1,000; the author calls the $900 increase "Phantom Wealth." But, the $900 increase is fully supported by an additional $90 in earnings that the market capitalized. He further defends his Phantom Wealth with the stock market bubble of the late 90s. This is spurious argument. Bubbles do occur. The market is not perfectly efficient all the time. But, that is a far cry from entailing that a company is worth only what the initial investors injected directly into it decades ago.
Parker has other peculiar beliefs. He views the marked-to-market mechanism as flawed. Thus, when you and I both own an IBM share; your share should have a different market price than mine! Another Parker's special is the "parasitic investor" that entails all investors who trade stocks including pension funds, mutual funds, and retail investors. Since parasitic investors were not among the initial investors who injected capital directly into the company they are parasitic. When parasitic investors such as CALPERS put pressure on management to take measures to boost stock price that is bad. Per Parker, any measure to boost stock price is bad. This is because it inflates Phantom Wealth.
Parker is obsessed about corporate downsizing. But, he ignores that the U.S. has created far more jobs per capita than any other Western economy. Our unemployment rate remains very low. And, our standard of living as measured by GDP per capita has grown faster over the long term than any Western economy too. The author is missing the boat on the underpinning of economic growth.
When Parker goes into recommendations, cognitive dissonance remains high. He suggests dismantling the existing equities markets as they just create Phantom Wealth. He would have them replaced by private investment pools and labor oriented funds. He believes the entire securities industry will have to make such changes or go out of business during the first quarter of this century. But, what Parker promotes are risky, concentrated, and illiquid investment vehicles. Such investments would be inappropriate to replace existing equity markets that are efficient, well diversified, and liquid. Parker also promotes the Japanese Keiretsu model where banks and corporations co-own each other. This is a flawed model due to conflict of interests that lead to bad credit decisions and cause bank crisis. He also proposes creating investment vehicles that compensate investors based on a company's payroll size. This is a quick way to render our private sector obsolete in a globalized World economy.
The fiscal challenge of our aging society has been far better studied by these two authors: Laurence Kotlikoff in his seminal book "The Coming Generational Storm" and Robert Stowe England who wrote "The Fiscal Challenge of an Aging Industrial World" and "Global Aging and Financial Markets." If you are concerned about the vagaries of stocks, I recommend the far superior analysis of Robert Shiller as covered in his books "Irrational Exuberance" and "Market Volatility." Finally, for a good book on financial planning, I strongly recommend: Burton Malkiel's "The Random Walk Guide to Investing."
Unusual and upsetting message.......2006-05-17
This book's message is both unusual and upsetting. Author Thornton Parker questions conventional wisdom about financial planning for retirement. He draws on his varied background - including jobs in government and private sector financial planning - and discusses the influence that baby boomer retirement investments have on the stock market. He examines how the stock market creates wealth, why stock prices get inflated and who benefits. Contrary to what most experts in the investment, retirement and mutual fund industries tell their clients, Parker believes the "phantom wealth" that boomers have accumulated with their stock market investments is a time bomb. He suggests some changes, but given the greed and power he detects behind the creation of phantom wealth, his voice is probably not loud enough to make a difference. If his scenario unfolds, retirement certainly will not mean golden years for aging boomers. We recommend a look at Parker's proposals to investment advisers, HR professionals and people planning their retirement. If he's right, ignoring his warnings could lead to a distorted economy and increased income gaps between rich and poor.
Important piece of work.......2003-11-25
Great summary of where we are today, with the current ponzi scheme of retirement that relies on the stock market infinite price growth.
As people below said, the author is quite weak on the solution side, but that's mostly because there isn't any simple one, and they clearly missed the point, which is the main purpose of the book to awaken folks and make them understand what is really going on.
The book is very easy to read and more intelligently written than few others discussing this topic.
The author provides a lot of relevant references and allow you to dive into these issues if you'd like.
A vital, timely, level-headed financial preparedness book.......2003-07-26
In What If Boomers Can't Retire?: How To Build Real Security, Not Phantom Wealth, Thorton Parker draws upon his more than forty-five years of diverse experience and expertise in government and business management, strategic planing, finance and accounting, as well as policy development, to present the reader with a solidly written, informative and "user friendly" guide to protecting personal financial interests, including preparing for stock market downturns, scandals, and ultimately end up being able to enjoy a retirement that is not dependent upon social security. A vital, timely, and level-headed financial preparedness book, What If Boomers Can't Retire? is a "must read", not only for people of the Baby Boom generation, but for Gen-Xers and anyone else who must plan for their retirement despite the vagaries and volatilities of the stock and bond markets.
One Great Thought, So Many Pages.......2003-05-08
Amazing concept and credible, but apparently wanted to lead us, as a Pied Piper to his world. I guess he's pretty smart, because he confused the heck out of me. An academic andeavour to fill a vitae. As a financial planner, I had to take seriously what he wrote concerning the largest demographic having to sell their stock. Left way too much out on solution, Way. Way, WAY too much on the political.
Couldn't get a grip on who he was trying to reach.
