American Government: Institutions and Policies

5 reviews
James Q. Wilson, Jr., John J. DiIulio

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2005

Great intro to Am. Gov't
I never thought I'd be interested in gov't until I read this. It tells what the founders were thinking when they instituted this gov't we have and what their intentions were when they wrote the constitution. I thought that the gov't was here for the fat cats to sit on their butts and live off us all, but when I learned that the ppl that wrote everything had the interests of the gen. pop. in mind ...

Financial Markets & Institutions + S&P card + Ethics in Finance Powerweb

2 reviews
Anthony Saunders, Marcia Millon Cornett

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2005

Not a good intro book
If anything, this book is only good for learning about financial institutions not covered in other intro finance books--extensive information on mortgage markets, the federal reserve, commercial banks, etc. The authors' explanations of financial calculations are obscure (obsessive use of subscripts and acronyms). Paragraphs are often wordy. For financial math, I would recommend: ...

Frederic S. Mishkin, Stanley G. Eakins

Addison Wesley, 2008

Very good for first exposure to financial markets
This book is not an advanced book on financial markets, but it is a good introductory book. I use this book for my undergraduate teaching. Both I and students are happy about the coverage of the book. It is well organized and well written. Improvements will be valuable in the derivatives markets and risk management areas.

Financial Institutions Management

6 reviews
Anthony Saunders, Marcia Millon Cornett

McGraw-Hill Education (ISE Editions), 2005

The Best Book on Financial Institutions. Period.
This is probably the best book in risk management available today. This is due to the combination of breadth and depth of the text. The author gently introduces the student to an important subject and explains with pains how to manage each and every kind of risk. The two chapters on Interest rate risk are absolutely fabulous. There is a sense of continuity because the concepts you learn in one ...

Jeff Madura

South-Western College Pub, 2008

well written
This book is a great introduction for someone with little background in economics or finance. It is also a good refresher for people that do have backgroungs in finance. I used it for the latter purpose and I still learned some things that I never previously knew. This book goes into a comprehensive examination of interest rates, fixed income securities, derivatives, and stocks. Easy to read and ...

American Government: Institutions and Policies (Student Text)
James Q. Wilson, Jr., John J. DiIulio

Houghton Mifflin Company, 2002

Acclaimed for the scholarship of its prominent authors and the clarity of its narrative, American Government sets the standard for public policy coverage while maintaining focus on three fundamental topics: the institutions of American government; the historical development of governmental procedures, actors, and policies; and who governs in the US and to what end. The Essentials version maintains the structure of the main text but replaces ...

Understanding Politics: Ideas, Institutions, and Issues

2 reviews
Thomas M. Magstadt

Wadsworth Publishing, 2008

expensive text
Clearly-written and accessible to undergraduates, without a lot of the dumbed-down, feel-good blather that mars so many textbooks. The text appears to be suffering from mission creep -- new editions are getting bigger, heavier, and more expensive. Asking students to pay $80 for a paperback is ridiculous; their money would be better spent purchasing copies of The Prince, Lenin's Tomb, Gideon's ...

International Political Economy: Interests and Institutions in the Global Economy (3rd Edition)

7 reviews
Thomas Oatley

Longman, 2007

coherent and concise
Oatley has a way of boiling down complex concepts into short, pithy chapters. The writing is clear and concise and the examples used in the text provide interesting perspectives on current political issues such as the US budget deficit or the power dynamics in debt negotiations between powerful international creditors (IMF, World Bank) and debtor countries. The chapters are well ...

Economics: Institutions & Analysis

2 reviews
Gerson Antell

Amsco School Pubns Inc, 2004

Excellent overview of basic economics
This is a great book which explains the basics of economics in plain English. I wanted to find an economics book that will help me make sense of current events (everything ranging from taxation to labor markets to international economics), and this book helped me so much. (And you don't need any prior background in math or economics to understand this book.) But again, I want to emphasize the ...

Peculiar Institution: Slavery in the Ante-Bellum South

11 reviews
Kenneth M. Stampp

Vintage, 1989

Still THE Sourcebook for Information on American Slavery
Stampp's aim in writing this book was not to provide the complete and comprehensive last word on the subject of the American enslavement of Africans and their American descendents, nor to empathize with the oppressed slaves, nor to apologize for slavery, nor to echo the "voices" of slaves, nor to place it in the context of slavery around the world throughout human history (all of which are worthy ...
