Simplistic 2 out of 5 stars.
4 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This book, and it's 2 companion volumes, are very simplistic accounts of pivotal moments in renaissance mediterrean history.

As history they are very limited. There are no notes, no bibliographies, no idexes and very limited maps.

Worse, for books purporting to be history, their writing style is juvenile and contrived, more suited to maybe a sixth grade class room than adult history. The books are marred by made up conversations and situations, to perhaps illustrate history, but certainly nothing that was found in whatever research the author might have done.

I can't really see how this writer is the most loved historian in Japan, based on these books. Perhaps the translator has simplified the language and ideas, who knows.

So, if you have a grade school or junior high child who wanted an introduction to these events, they might be useful, but for adult reading they should be bypassed.

All in all, very disappointing efforts for someone who claims to be a historian.

Editorial Review:

A popular history of the nost entertaining and timely variety from Japan's addictive grand dame of letters.

Editorial Review:

This book is to be used as a starting point for children and parents. Major Topics include: 1) Money Management: Appreciate the benefits of a Roth IRA 2) Career Skills: Identify different types of child employment 3) New Ideas: Discover different ways parents can employ their children 4) Special Details: Learn how parents can issue Forms W-2 for their child 5) Introduction to Taxes: Basic tax concepts for children with low earned income 6) Powerful Knowledge: Understand rules for children to contribute to a Roth IRA. The focus is the unmarried dependent child with no dependents of their own who has a yearly income that ranges from $1.00 to the amount of the single standard deduction allowed by the Internal Revenue Service for the current tax year ($5,350 in 2007). This book can also provide limited guidance for children with incomes outside of this range. However, such children will need to obtain further consultation on different circumstances that will apply to them. This book covers some very basic ideas but quickly moves into complex issues. We should not presume children will not look at a tax publication but instead be optimistic and provide them with the opportunity and incentive to do so. With the pace in which the appeal of the internet is growing each day, it is not unreasonable to direct kids to use links or online calculators to project their finances. Children learn quickly, enjoy challenges and think computers are fun. Parents should assist them, guide them, teach them, and set a good example through their own financial behavior. This book should be used as an interactive guide between parents and children.

Editorial Review:

So You Graduated College is a book written specifically for the recent college graduate. Many finance books claim to be for the younger generation, but in reality, they are little more than the typical adult personal finance book with the words “young people” or “under 30” slapped on their covers. So You Graduated College is much more than that. It is a colorful and insightful book packed with valuable information, advice, and personal experiences, which young adults can relate to. Of course it will help prepare the reader for success in the real world, but it is also enjoyable to read and will capture the recent graduate’s attention. So You Graduated College will help the recent graduate... - Gain control over spending habits - Effectively manage and eliminate credit card debt - Make informed and appropriate investment decisions - Understand how to file and minimize income taxes - Purchase a first home - Get the most out of a car purchase - Determine which types of insurance to purchase - Choose amongst the various banking options - Improve their negotiation skills - Understand the benefits of retirement funds - And much more

Great Book for ANYONE!!!! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

I picked up this book at the local drug store thinking this would be a fluff piece. But for $5 bucks I got more than I could ever have bargained for. Its easy to read, you can pick and choose chapters that you wish to look at. And there is also a section for you to write down your specific goals and so forth. I learned so much about my habits from a secular and spiritual point of view. A book you'll want to pass around.

Editorial Review:

Many people live from one financial trial to the next, always feeling as if money is running the show-and they're just along for the ride. Money Doesn't Grow on Trees? sets out to turn the tables, and provide newcomers to the money scene all the basic tools they need to successfully manage their finances. Sections are bite-sized, easy to follow, conversational, and present information in terms that anyone can understand. The tone is helpful and steers away from "preachiness," even when addressing the spiritual aspects of relating to money or getting out of debt.
