This book would be excellent if you were beginning a retail business from the ground up and had to start from ground zero. In my particular case, the company I work for had already chosen the site, began the build-out process, and even began purchasing items for our store. We were way ahead of where this book starts you out at, but if you have no clue where to even start building you business then this would be a great book for you.

Managing Bank Capital: Capital Allocation and Performance Measurement, 2nd Edition Review

Managing Bank Capital: Capital Allocation and Performance Measurement, 2nd Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Chris Matten provides a comprehensive guide to applications of RAROC and shareholder value for managing bank capital and compensating bank executives and traders. The author provides particularly good sections on how EVA, shareholder value, and other earnings based measures can be manipulated and abused. This is not the sort of book which the corporate finance shareholder value crowd would likely read, but is one which they need to read.

Designing Public Consensus: The Civic Theater of Community Participation for Architects, Landscape Architects, Planners, and Urban Designers Review

Designing Public Consensus: The Civic Theater of Community Participation for Architects, Landscape Architects, Planners, and Urban Designers
Average Reviews:

I found this book to be very helpful to my work as a consulting planner. The stories are excellent reminders of the battles hard fought. I agree that projects are better for the public process they go through. There has not been a good book on this subject, so Ms. Faga has written a great book for students, professionals and community activists alike.

Saving the Jews: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Holocaust Review

Saving the Jews: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Holocaust
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book is both an enormously engrossing read and a well-argued and researched correction of history. The correction is necessary because of "revisionist" historians who have claimed that FDR was not only anti-Semitic, but failed to take actions that could easily have saved countless Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Rosen combines a careful look at the facts, including previously unexamined original documents, with incisive analysis and common sense, to to conclude that the truth is just the contrary. FDR's efforts to protect Jewish lives and rights were genuine, often proactive, and almost always as much or more as could reasonably be expected within daunting military and political constraints. Rosen's attitude toward FDR is not worshipful, but by giving us a richer understanding of the historical context, he heightens appreciation of Roosevelt's character and of what Roosevelt did accomplish. The book may also serve a more general purpose: It is an antidote to the paranoia caused by both historians and pundits who apply perfectionist standards to events viewed in hindsight. Equally important, it is a great story very well told.

All About Short Selling (All About Series) Review

All About Short Selling (All About Series)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I generally don't revel in criticizing someone's hard work, but I gain so much from reading others' reviews I decided to chip-in myself. I've made it through three chapters of this book and, though the author may be a short-selling master, his writing is poor and the editing is shoddy. This doesn't seem like the kind of polished book one would expect under a series label like "All About" or "xxx for Dummies". I've found numerous grammar mistakes and the organization is generally difficult to follow, with sporadic examples and poorly-defined terms. I'd suggest looking at other titles and, if this quality is indicative of the "All About" series as a whole, at other labels for teach-yourself books as well.
UPDATE: See recent review of "All About Dividends", citing editing errors as well. Poor quality may indeed be a series-wide problem.

Planning HealthPromotion Programs : Intervention Mapping, 2nd Edition Review

Planning HealthPromotion Programs : Intervention Mapping, 2nd Edition
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This book was required for a graduate public health program planning class. The course was taught by the primary author, L. K. Bartholomew. The book did a great job to teach the Intervention Mapping method step by step. This book does an amazing job of walking you through the Intervention Mapping process. The book uses an example at the beginning of the book and walks the program through the entire Intervention Mapping process. The authors give more examples using other programs but they always give an example of each step with the example program. The tables and matrices are filled in and explain the process in detail.
Intervention Mapping is a theory that is gaining popularity for planning health promotion programs as it combines different theories that helps program planners plan an entire program.
The IM process is needs assessment, change objectives, methods and strategies for change objectives (based in theory), making program components and materials, planning program adoption, implementation and sustainability, and planning for program evaluation.
