M&A Understanding.......2007-10-05
This is a must for the articulate and must be read carefully, consistently or the extensiveness and expertise will cause one to re-read excerpts. Forwarning: create word document to capture the depth of the content to enable review of materials. The book is precise and very well organized. Only one area of weakness in material is more detail regarding corporate minutes. Unless you have been a corporate secretary and done this kind of work you won't grasp the critical issues in doing acquisitions and questions to seller. I do M&A-well worth the money.
Yes, this is a very focused topic, but it is a great book!.......2002-07-03
When purchasing a company you need to know what to look for and where to look for it and what it is you are looking at when you get the information you asked for.
If you are selling your company you need to know what someone SHOULD be looking for, where they will look for it, and the kinds of conclusions they should be drawing from what they are seeing.
This book is an incredibly valuable resource in this process. It is organized very logically and is a series of questions and answers so you can hop around to the information you need for the moment. However, it is also written in such a lively manner that it is easy to read from beginning to end. I happen to be fascinated by this topic and think this is an incredibly helpful handbook.
I think that the way you conduct due dilligence says a lot about your chances of success with an acquisition. And I also think that if someone is trying to buy you, you can tell a lot about them by what they want to know and the conclusions they draw from what they see. In either case it behooves you to invest time and a couple of books in a book like this. Well, in this book.
Book is an excellent resource for anyone serious about M&A........2000-09-29
Alexandra Reed LaJoux has done it again. Her most recent book on "The Art of M&A Due Diligence" is a valuable tool for the seasoned practitioner as well as the neophyte. She and her co-author Charles Elson effectively combine the big picture with relevant detail so that the reader has a clear understanding of not only the critical concepts but of the process of "due diligence." I found the chapter dedicated to "transactional due diligence" particularly useful. I would recommend this book to anyone serious about transactional work, either as a lawyer, investment banker, or businessperson.

Book Description
Discussions of science and values in risk management have largely focused on how values enter into arguments about risks, that is, issues of acceptable risk. Instead this volume concentrates on how values enter into collecting, interpreting, communicating, and evaluating the evidence of risks, that is, issues of the acceptability of evidence of risk. By focusing on acceptable evidence, this volume avoids two barriers to progress. One barrier assumes that evidence of risk is largely a matter of objective scientific data and therefore uncontroversial. The other assumes that evidence of risk, being "just" a matter of values, is not amenable to reasoned critique. Denying both extremes, this volume argues for a more constructive conclusion: understanding the interrelations of scientific and value issues enables a critical scrutiny of risk assessments and better public deliberation about social choices. The contributors, distinguished philosophers, policy analysts, and natural and social scientists, analyze environmental and medical controversies, and assumptions underlying views about risk assessment and the scientific and statistical models used in risk management.
Book Description
Completely revised and updated, the Handbook of Assetiability Management helps you keep your protfolio in line and market risk under control. This reference includes; The benefits from risk management; Asset securitization; Measuring interest rate and yield curve risk; Using OAS to implement value at risk balance sheet management; Hedging with derivatives; Implementing controls for managing derivative positions.
Customer Reviews:
Good book........2007-08-22
The book has a bit of every aspect of ALM. Good choice for people looking to become familiar with terms, techniques and process of ALM.
It's a little out of date if you ask me. Some of the issues exposed need to be updated as they no longer apply to some financial institutions. As so, it's not the best book to buy but quite good choice to start with ALM.
Handbook on bank asset liability management.......2005-08-02
This is a good primer but out of date in 2005. Since it's last printing, banks have been burdened with SFAS 133 which substantially changes the rules of the road for hedging assets and liabilities. An updated version certainly needs to tackle this challenge. Also, banks have expanded the types of assets they will buy, such as CMBS, whole loans, and raw loans. On the liability side, structured financing has become a critical tool in a bank's ALCO toolkit.
Covers a lot of ground on ALM.......2003-05-29
Chapters are written by different authors. So, they vary in depth and difficulty. Some chapters are very technical, some are easier to read. But, the content is always very solid. Studying this book will give you a strong overall knowledge of ALM.
Classical and Comprehensive of traditional ALM.......2000-12-26
This book can serve you as the authoritive summary of the traditional ALM issues and techniques. It doesn't only describe the concept we should consider, but also educate the details of the ALM tools. Though this book doesn't deal with hot issues such as VaR and stochastic term structure model, it contains the essential ALM theory and practical technique you must know before diving into the frontier of ALM.

Medical Consequence Manager.......2007-04-17
I found this to be a good introduction to emergency management. I am using it in my course on Disaster Preparidness: medical consequency management. Well written and easy to read for the novice.
Somewhat useful.......2007-03-19
This book is more useful for someone in government. If you need emergency planning/mangement for a business or industry, the book is a good starter but will be limited. Too bad it was published right before Katrina.
Good service.......2007-02-19
I ordered a text book and got excellent service from Amazon. It got here in a timely fashion and in excellent condition.

Easy Flowing Read.......2005-08-06
For a easy flowing read, buy this book. It has plenty of pertinent information mainly from a federal emergency standpoint.

Book Description
Issues associated with biohazardous waste have come into sharp focus in recent years due to public concern over AIDS and the medical waste wash-ups along U.S. beaches and coastal communities in 1988. This comprehensive volume covers all important areas of biohazardous waste management, from regulation to collection to disposal.
Promoting safe, sensible, and ecologically sound solutions throughout, this book
- Discusses risk assessment in terms of human health, persistence of pathogens in the environment, and how these relate to methods of waste disposal
- Deals with questions of policy and environmental regulations that include workplace health and safety and public health issues
- Reviews the medical industry's standards and guidelines for dealing with its waste stream and how they fit in with the EPA's program of medical waste tracking
- Details specific waste management strategies for both major facilities and home healthcare
- Examines the available technologies for dealing with biohazardous waste, particularly incineration and steam sterilization
- Reviews the many alternative treatment technologies, including specifics of newly developed systems and procedures for evaluating their effectiveness and safety
- Lists resources and contacts to help keep up with new technologies and management techniques, and includes appendices with federal and state OSHA contacts and state medical waste contacts
- Provides many illustrations to highlight the text
For professionals in public health, medicine, and waste management; regulatory officials at all levels of government; and environmental scientists and engineers, this volume brings the field of biohazardous waste up-to-date while serving as an excellent guide and reference to some of the more compelling issues of our time.
Customer Reviews:
Wish this was available when I completed my master's thesis.......1998-02-21
Outstanding reference book. The chapters on biomedical waste management and incineration crisply and coherently describe the problems and concerns and provide excellent examples to underscore the author's points. Mr Turnberg fills in a gap that has long been missing: a single text that covers all the issues related to this complex and controversial field.
