not good seller.......2005-10-01
I placed the order the book, but unfortunately, the text book was wrong one. Although I tried to contact this seller to return the book and have it refund as soon as I received the book, nobody responded to me. Eventually, I still keep this book and did not get refund. I'm afraid that this seller is not so good as everyone might tihnk when it comes to trouble shooting.
Book Description
Nicholson's Microeconomic Theory: Basic Principles and Extensions, 9th edition is a tried-and-true, well-known and respected market-leading text. Applauded for providing the most clear and accurate presentation of advanced microeconomic concepts, it offers an ideal level of mathematical rigor for upper level undergraduate students and beginning graduate students. It gives students the opportunity to work directly with theoretical tools, real-world applications, and cutting edge developments in the study of microeconomics. This book is solid, rigorous, comprehensive, and is sensibly challenging for students, best serving students with a mathematics background.
Customer Reviews:
Good intermediate micro.......2007-04-24
This book is very well structured and makes your troubled economist life easier. You definitely need math knowledge but Nicholson explains difficult concepts in a masterful and understandable manner, so the ideas are easier to understand. I would say it is between Varian and Mas Colell. The first part is abundant in relevant examples (it somehow dwindles after) and the questions at the end of the chapters are quite useful.
Very good intermediate book.......2006-12-21
It is very good textbook to learn microeconomics with intuitions and methodology. But, some people are comparing this book with Mas Colell. Nonsense! Mas Colell is a PhD level, pretty technical, "heavy duty" book. This book is an intermediate level book for senior undergrads or master students. On the other hand, Binger&Hofmann's Microeconomics with Calculus book is better then this, in my opinion. It has less story more information. This book spends lots of lines to explain some small points which is boring for someone who should know these stories before starting graduate studies. But it is more comprehensive than baby Varian. Some departments are using Pyndick's book, but I didn't use it. I believe that Binger&Hofmann is the best in this category if you wanna learn Microeconomics using mathematical tools.
Pretty good book........2006-11-10
the shipping was alright.. the book is new and pretty good. happy with it overall..=)
Very Good Overview of Micro Theory.......2006-11-10
After using this book for a math-intensive micro theory course, I would heartily recommend Nicholson's text, which is written clearly with relevant examples and straightforward, useful problems at the end of each chapter. The book is very math-intense and requires a good knowlege of multivariable calculus, but since the reader is probably buying this book for a class, he or she most likely already has the mathematics background necessary. Thumbs up.
Not such an easy read.......2006-10-18
Okay book, not the best read, but better than the Mas-Collel green books. This book gives a lot of info on theory but I thought it lacked wrt practical (applied examples). Used for a graduate level course in Micro Econ. My particular course is very hard (this class serves both graduate and PhD Finance students) so needless to say, I am ordering the workbook to help me survive!

Customer Reviews:
Only good if you're completely new........2007-08-26
Lot of book is common knowledge. Chapters too long. Examples at end of chapters aren't very creative. Definitely a starter/intro level book.
Decent starter........2007-02-26
From what I can tell this book does a great job compressing business law into very concise chapters. I for one don't like long drawn out chapters about the same subject matter. I lose interest after the first few hours of reading any text book. The chapters move quick enough to really make me feel interested in the subject. I use this book for a intro into business law and think is does a pretty decent job aiding my education.
Good for beginners, but likely to upset anyone else!.......2006-09-24
If you're buying this book for yourself, spare yourself the headache. It is certainly not of any academic value, and considering what I've read so far, it does even appear to be a business law book. The book chronicles very simple and basic legal matters, and presents these topics in such a way, someone interested in a thorough discussion of them would likely become upset.
As I said before, unless you have a very basic interest in law, ignore this book as much as you can. Also, because the book is not state-specific, there's not much you can get out of the book. It presents general information, which is of no use to those who want to learn specifics.
I've given it two stars just because it would probably be good for a beginner.
Quailty.......2006-02-17
we had some shipping problems with this book, but it got to me in one piece and in proper time.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book.......2007-09-17
This is an excellent book. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know how to think differently and become more successful in whatever you want to do.
Never has learning something this profound been so captivating.......2007-05-24
The Jackrabbit Factor is a profound book that will go down as a classic in personal development literature. Its parable format is captivating and like parables do, enables you to learn something new from its rich symbolism each time you read it. An inspired book that teaches and keeps on teaching long after you've finished turning pages.
Great Book!.......2007-02-22
This book was a great help. It is so easy to read and it's simple story line is life changing in teaching the principles of prosperity. Very helpful!!!
A Must Read for Everyone!.......2007-01-11
This book is an allegory that teaches prosperity principles. Not only is it fun, easy reading, but it has a lot of powerful information in it. I am constantly re-reading it to pick up more gems from it! I also highly recommend reading her book "Hidden Treasures" along with it - "Hidden Treasures" explains the 7 universal laws of prosperity and how you can use these laws to your favor to prosper! My husband and I have bought several copies of each book so we can have loaner copies; everyone we have loaned them to have loved them, too!
It's a fact, this is the best book I've read in a long time!!!.......2006-10-03
My commitment this year was to work on removing those self-sabotaging habits and subconscious beliefs so I can become more awake. I truly believe that when you're ready to answers and change, the Universe drops in your hands the information, guidance and tools you will need. The Jack Rabbit Factor is in exact alignment with the awareness I've embraced this year. It is by far the best book I've read in a very very long time, if the best ever! This book totally drew me in and I didn't want to put in down. And everything is so true! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone who is seeking the truth and are ready to see how they create their own reality. It is incredible!

This book was practically new, and I received it in good condition and in a timely manner!! The price beat out the rest..
Business Law.......2007-02-15
I did not receive the book to review. It was cancelled!!!
I felt so bad about lack of communication concerning shipping and handling. If they need more money for the s/h, they should have been said so, but they quickly cancelled for it. It is not acceptable to me.

Book Description
Compliance requirements are here to stay.
Prepare your company for the growing challenge.
A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight. In the shadow of recent global scandals involving businesses such as Parmalat and WorldCom, Manager's Guide to Compliance: Best Practices and Case Studies is essential reading for you, whether your organization is a major corporation or a small business.
This timely handbook places U.S. and global regulatory information, as well as critical compliance guidance, in an easy-to-access format and helps you make sense of all the complex issues connected with fraud and compliance.
"Wide perspectives and best practices combined deliver a punch that will knock your 'SOX' off! The author has blended together a critical mix necessary for effectively handling the requirements of SOX."
—Rob Nance, Publisher, AccountingWEB, Inc.
"Robust compliance and corporate governance is an absolute necessity in today's business environment. This new book by Anthony Tarantino is an authoritative guide to understanding and implementing compliance and regulatory requirements in the United States and around the world. From SOX to COSO to ERM, this book covers them all."
—Martin T. Biegelman, Certified Fraud Examiner, Fellow and Regent Emeritus of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, and coauthor of Executive Roadmap to Fraud Prevention and Internal Control: Creating a Culture of Compliance
"If compliance wasn't difficult enough, now companies are faced with a barrage of technology vendors claiming to automate compliance as if it were a project. In his new book, Dr. Tarantino paints the reality of the situation: companies need to embrace the broader tenets of governance and use technology to embed governance policies and controls into their daily business processes. Only then can they gain business value from their compliance investments."
—Chris Capdevila, CEO and cofounder, LogicalApps
Customer Reviews:
Reference only.......2007-07-04
Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.
very useful book.......2007-03-13
i have just read some chapter such as Sarbanes-Oxley and fast scan the other. I think it is the book which i look for.
Outstanding.......2007-01-24
Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.
Most Helpful for My Accounting and Auditing Groups.......2006-04-29
As the CFO of a privately held company looking to go public in the next few years this is what we needed to focus our compliance and governance programs.
Essential Reading for My US and Chinese Businesses.......2006-04-29
Dr. Tarantino's book was exactly what I needed to understand the many regulations facing my businesses in the US and China. It will be required reading for my various managers and directors.

Customer Reviews:
The material is presented in a language too technical .......2004-10-14
I just took the state exam (and passed!!), I have to say this book is written in too much of a technical manner and too many details for it to be an easy read. I felt I had to constantly translate paragrapgs into "plain english" to keep me going ...the material is presented in too much of a "dry" manner. Lots of times it was confusing to understand what was said, it was very contradictory. If you are taking the state exam, I highly recommend that you form a study group to "disect" what all the languge is...
You MUST take the class in order to take the licensing exam........2004-04-29
This is the text book for the class you are required to take AND pass in order to qualify to take the Florida Real Estate Licensing Exam. So don't buy this book if you don't intend to earn your Florida Real Estate License or continue on to broker status. But if you do, you MUST have this book.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!.......2004-03-20
The rub with this product is that it contains quizes and a review test BUT THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THE ANSWERS!!!!! I spoke with the publisher and I was told that the book is for classroom use only and the answers will not be provided. If you are studying for the FL RE sales exam, this book is virtually usless without the answer key. SHAME ON AMAZON FOR SELLING THIS PRODUCT WITHOUT DISCLOSURE!!
A good starting point.......2002-10-24
I am currently taking the FREC Salesperson I course and this is the book, as you know, we must use. If you are not taking the State Exam, there is no real reason to buy this book unless you just want to educate yourself. Reason being -- the book's goal, like most of it's kind, is for the student/reader to pass the state exam in the end. Hence, there are probably other books out there that convey similar information that aren't booged down with useless details that only exam takers need to know.
THIS IS THE KEY TO PASSING THE SALESPERSON EXAM.......2001-11-28
I was reading a few reviews about this book. The answer keys to the end of chapter and practice question at the end of the book are available through your instructor. Please note that this book alone will not allow you to take the state exam without a 63 hour Pre-lic. Course. For those who don't understand the material and want the answers to the questions in the book should ask their instructors when they take the required pre-lic. Salesperson FREC I course. As far as the text book, the text book material is excellent!
