Louisiana State University Press, 2006
Great book! Any LSU grad will love this one...
I really liked the old photos of Tiger Stadium and the campus. I never knew there was a lake behind the greek amphitheatre way back when. I recommend this book highly along with LSU grad Chris Warner's "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football". Both are very good.

Investigating Modern Art 2 reviews
Yale University Press, 1996
appropriate
The book does exactly what it is supposed to do--present focused and simplified theoretical discussions of major issues in modernism. People whose reading already includes advanced art historical theory might be disappointed, but they shouldn't be reading on this level anyway. A good intro survey text.

The books strength is its illustration of financial models and implantation in Excel. Since the models focus on static solutions the book is probably of greater use in academics than in industry. It would be great if there was instruction about how to input real time data ...
