Product Description

Book Description Covering the same topics found in more advanced-level texts, Investments incorporates minimal math and is much more student-friendly, resulting in an increased excitement for and understanding of the basic investment course material. It is the text of choice for the College of Financial Planning. It includes a strong focus on the individual financial planner and features a ?Financial Advisor?s Investment Case? at the end of each chapter. These short cases illustrate how text material applies to real investment decisions. Financial calculators are introduced and utilized throughout the text with explanations employing both interest tables and the calculator. It is also ideal for non-majors courses.

Great book and great teacher...I won't sell this book because I've learned too much from it and it will help me later on in life I'm sure.

One word.........BORING.......2007-03-09

This is by far the worst business book I have ever owned. I could hardley make it half a page without my mind wandering. It needs more real life examples to make it more appealing and understandable to the layperson.

To good for you.......2007-01-18

This book is so full of useful information and detail that I want to keep it to myself.....

Solid Introductory Investment Textbook.......2005-10-20

Mayo's "Investments" captures nearly all the relevant subjects in an increasingly complex financial frontier from simple debt instruments and equity issues to complex option strategies. I would have liked to see further mention of hedge funds though, as significant money seems to be pouring into these instruments and the student of investing would gain by knowing more about the various strategies they employ and the trading mechanisms used. Ditto for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). With that said, though, Mayo does a fine job providing a comprehensive basis on the investment world. Solid reference book. Strong 4 Stars.

Excellent review of all possible finance instruments.......1999-05-20

It is a text book vs a simple reading book, however the author has done an excellent job of presenting the concepts in simple to understand format. With well writtem text and informative graphs the concepts easy to understand. Covers all types in investments instruments from stocks, bonds, options, futures and portfolio construction.

Book Description

From Stephen R. Covey, the author of the 15 million copy bestseller 7 Habits of Highly Effective People--named one of the 25 most influential Americans by Time magazine--comes The 8th Habit, a book that holds powerful insights that challenge us to find our voice and inspire others to find theirs.

This mini edition is culled from the original The 8th Habit, which has already sold nearly 200,000 copies since its November 2004 release. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People guided individuals to effectively improve their lives and organizations. The 8th Habit takes it a step further, and inspires us to thrive, innovate, and lead in order to move beyond effectiveness and into greatness.

Customer Reviews:

Pioneering Infromation/Knowledge Based Management Concept.......2007-10-03

As a Senior People and Technology Management Consultant, I too have been frustrated by my voice, and the voice of others, not being heard.

I have also advocated that old Industerial Management techniques can not be applied to an Information/Knowledge Worker Based Management Era with emphessis on Empowerment, Teamwork, and Communal Efforts.

With 25+ years of management in startups and major corporations, I have realized that Mr. Covey's 8th habit, is the foundation to manage and lead greatness, innovation, empwerment, and super effectivity.

Ideas and concepts presented here, including the "Indian Talking Stick" are in agreement with some of the best management and leadership best practices such as the "HP Way", Dale Carnegie, and others.

There are also outstanding examples and suggestions to solve leadership problems.

A must reading!

Habit for Humanity.......2007-09-30

Find your voice and inspire others to do the same. That's habit number eight. To find your voice there must be a conscience-based unity of mind, heart, body, and spirit. As an example, for a person to be fulfilled at work s/he needs to be able to use his/her talents and gifts (Mind), must be passionate about the work (Heart), must be paid fairly (body), and the work must have meaning (Spirit).

After explaining how to achieve personal voice, Covey shows how to achieve and institutionalize organizational voice. It requires the following:

1) Modeling - or setting an example to develop trust.
2) Pathfinding - creating a vision/mission, values, and strategic goals.
3) Aligning - changing structures, systems, processes, etc. to match the pathfinding.
4) Empowering - unleashing people's creativity and various other capabilities.

The concept of the Indian walking stick as a means of communicating and resolving conflict as well as the trim tabbing analogy for bringing about change are also well worth the price tag.

It's not "The Seven Habits," but it's really hard to go wrong with Covey. He genuinely seems to be focused on helping others improve in order to make the world a better place. Actually, the seven habits do weave their way in and out of this book. It also includes quite a few inspirational stories to include the father who leaves his son with the following advice on his deathbed, "Don't do life like I did. I never made a difference." For the first time the son realizes that he wanted his success to reach higher than him.

Finding Identity for Self and Others.......2007-08-27

As with most of the Covey books, there are nuggets of wisdom hidden within this book, the challenge is to find them. The 8th Habit, (defined as `Find Your Voice and Inspire Others to Find Theirs'), attempts to teach one basic paradigm: That people are whole people - body, mind, heart and spirit. But its focus is on the voice. When this `voice' is defined (on page 5) by Covey as the nexus of talent, passion, need, and conscience, it is easy to relate to this foundation element of human nature - our calling or individual identity - from which our contribution to relationships (work or personal) flows.

After getting this identity piece, what may not be so easy to relate to are the next 323 pages of Covey speak, although there is an interesting discussion on the 4 intelligences - Physical, Mental, Emotional, & Spiritual - woven thru the chapters, and Appendix 2, which contains a literature review of leadership theories, was interesting! This book is recommended for those with the time and patience to pan for gold nuggets in a meandering and slow moving stream.

Stephen Covey did it again!.......2007-08-17

This is the perfect book to follow The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Read this book, get your Voice heard.

Surprised by the punch Covey still has.......2007-08-08

I expected to be underwhelmed by this volume. "More of the Covey machine," I thought. I was wrong. This book can reach a part of you that's beyond what you can get to by applying the first 7 habits. "Life changing" is an understatement.

The Life and Times of Accounting Information Systems.......2003-01-14

This book reminds me more of a travelog about many of the sights and sounds you will encounter on your quest to become best friends with your Accounting Information System.

It would make a lot more sense if the authors skipped a lot of the details of where Accounting Information Systems fit in our social experience and get down to dealing with the dirty details of how someone would go about writing a system of their own.

Then they could spend a chapter on how to go about the testing of the system and how and why to do a complete re-write of this masterpiece.

Could be better.......2006-06-07

I am an accounting major, but I think that finance is just as important in business and that is why I am taking a finance course. This book is pretty good for starters like myself, but the author should have more work problems to fine tune the skills needed to really grasp the concepts. I also feel that a student workbook would greatly help. The website for this book is also extremely limited and does not provide any additional help for people that purchase this book. I would not feel comfortable recommending this book to anyone wanting to get a basic knowledge of finance.

It's a good selection.......2005-08-22

This book provides a very useful guide in order to understand the basic theory about Investments. The only one thing that the writer of this book must do is to add is more demonstration problems.

Pick a different text.......2005-02-15

There should be NO typos in a 9th edition. But go ahead and count them - not just in the text, but problems as well. There are times when formulas in the body of chapters are wrong or other times when you don't have all the info needed to answer one of the problems. Universities and instructors should be ashamed of themselves for making you spend $120 on this.

Great Explanations.......2001-09-26

This investment book is sufficiently detailed to explain complicated investment concepts. It has lots of examples with solutions. There are a few errors and I presume the 7th edition has corrected some of them.

Good book for the beginner to advanced, no nonsense writing and not bogged down with advanced formulas. Should be an expert in the subject after atempting all questions after each topic.
