Barron's How to Prepare for the TOEFL11th Edition By Pamela Sharpe Ph.D.
2004 | 735 Pages | ISBN: 0764175785 | PDF | 58 MB
I use this book in my advanced college ESL class. My students didn't have to take the TOEFL, so I thought I would use the exercises for class. However, they are a little scattered and the answer key for each lesson in the back isn't necessarily easy to locate. I am able to gleen some extra exercises for class once in awhile, but I really wanted to use it as sort of a workbook for them to practice, but given that it isn't user friendly, I had to abandon that idea.

Analysis of Derivatives for the CFA Program By Don M. Chance
2002 | 672 Pages | ISBN: 0935015930 | PDF | 33 MB
The book is intended to provide the derivatives analysis portion of the CFA curriculum, and is intended to communicate a practical risk management approach to derivatives for the investment generalist.Derivatives are financial instruments that offer a return based on the return of some other asset. Exchange-traded contracts have standard terms and features and are traded usually at a futures or options exchange. OTC contracts are created by two parties anywhere else. In a futures contract, the futures exchange guarantees to each party that if the other fails to pay, the exchange will. The forward contract is an agreement between two parties to transfer (sell/buy) an asset at a future date at a price established at the start. It is largely a private and unregulated market.A swap typically is like an agreement to buy at a future date, paying a fixed amount and receiving something of unknown future value. The most common use of a swap is a situation in which a corporation, currently borrowing at a floating rate, enters into a swap that commits it to making a series of interest payments to the swap counter party at a fixed rate, while receiving payments from the swap counter party at a rate related to the floating rate at which it is making loan payments. The floating components cancel, creating a conversion of the original floating-rate loan to a fixed-rate loan.And on it goes, with lots of detail on valuing and use of derivatives.

James H. Schulz, Robert H. Binstock, "Aging Nation: The Economics and Politics of Growing Older in America"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 027598415X, 0801888646 | 296 pages | True PDF | 2.8 MB
With the impending retirement of some 76 million baby boomers in a period of huge government deficits, public anxiety about the social and economic health of an aging nation is widespread. The policy debates are contentious―from deciding who should receive limited subsidized housing and medical services to the ongoing battle over "saving" Social Security and other entitlement programs. Some policy makers and pundits forecast disaster: elderly people will be put out to pasture with inadequate health care and financial resources, and a crumbling social welfare infrastructure will implode under the strain of intergenerational conflict.

Absolute Honesty: Building a Corporate Culture That Values Straight Talk and Rewards Integrity By Larry Johnson, Bob Phillips
2003 | 303 Pages | ISBN: 0814407811 | PDF | 2 MB
Absolute Honesty by Larry Johnson and Bob Phillips deals with the critical role of honesty, ethics and morals in business. In 10 Chapters and 290 pages, the authors bring out the negative consequences of dishonesty, shying away from speaking up, lack of a clear policy on ethics etc. They point out the benefits of actively following Absolute Honesty. While the book focuses on the corporate scene in USA, especially in the wake of many corporate scandals that broke out in 2002, similar situations have arisen in many other parts of the world and this book strikes a welcome chord in many a heart.The book is meant for every one but especially for leaders and managers of business organisations, big or small. Employees also benefit, since they will learn the need for courage and honesty, the need to stay away from illegal and immoral activities, so that one can not only sleep better but also look at oneself in the mirror after waking up, without guilt.The authors accomplish what they set out to do, very effectively. The book is very well produced, with the important points well structured and effectively communicated. Reading the book was like attending a seminar and listening to Larry speak. The style is lucid and friendly. Bob's rich experience as a Human Resources expert has added significant value to the book, in the form of real life examples.[...]where Chapter 2 is available as sample. Chapter 1 is a good introduction to the book and chapter 10 is a good review of the whole book.All in all, a very valuable addition to the bookshelf of every manager. The book serves the role of a good self-study guide too.I would like to share with the readers of this review, excerpts from a mail which I wrote to Larry Johnson, after reading the book."I finished reading the book. It is excellent and I am really happy that I could read the book.The book appealed to my own strong ethical and moral streak. ..............I found the tips for differing with boss, like off-line communication very useful.I found a few places where I would have edited the matter a litle differently. But in general, the editorial standards are quite high.Would you consider bringing out the contents of this book as a Seminar on Multi-Media CD, or as a companion to the book?Thank you for this excellent book.Swamy"In another development, Larry asked me whether he can share with his readers his experience of my own honesty and integrity. I agreed.
