      3 out of 5 stars a let-down.......2007-05-10

      While there is certainly much any reader could learn from this book, it certainly cannot be claimed to be definitive.

      My job requires me to know quite a bit about the Federal Reserve, the details of whose various processes and responsibilities are usually given short shrift in most macroeconomics textbooks. And while it's the easiest thing in the world to find a book which mentions the Fed, usually nothing more than a cursory overview of the institution is given before the discussion moves on to the three tools of monetary policy and their roles in the macroeconomy.

      Thus it was I was transported with delight when I was alerted that Alpha Books had come out with this title in 2003 (as of my writing it appears to be out of print). Others might think the title odd or arcane, but for me being conversant with the esoteric workings of the Fed has a direct bearing on my livelihood.

      Alas! This book is not so great. I am disappointed to report that it reads like a government brochure, without getting down to the nitty-gritty. Or only brushing the nitty-gritty.

      Worse, remember how I said that most economic textbooks focus on the Fed's three main tools of monetary policy and not much else? Well, this book doesn't even do that, dealing only glancingly with monetary policy.

      From the look of it, you might think you're getting a much deeper, much more detailed explanation of how monetary policy works, but you'd be wrong. That's not the kind of book it is. It's almost a coffee table book, without color plates. There are no graphs and charts, and most of the text employs a "Who woulda thought!"-type approach. It seems to be written for people who already understand the subject--pace the title.

      In particular, what I was looking for were extended discussions of the three tools of monetary policy, and a sickening amount of detail as to how they're carried out, their ins and outs, their effects, etc. I found nothing of the kind.

      For example, in something I was reading the other day, I came across a statement to the effect that to increase the money supply, the Fed buys bonds "from the government." It's this last part that puzzled me. I thought the Fed was buying back bonds in the hands of private citizens.

      So I sought out the explanation in this book. Surely there, the nuts nad bolts of how Fed bond-buying goes down would be spelled out in nauseating detail.

      No such luck. (Although the book does inform you that the Fed occasionally buys and sells bonds.) And ditto for similar technical questions.

      Not that the book is a complete waste of time. There's a lot here I didn't know about the Fed, but most of what I learned was simply not vital, functional knowledge about the nuts and bolts of how the system operates. The book celebrates definitions; deeper explanations are few and far between.

      In sum, I would characterize "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Federal Reserve" as a mere appreciation of the Fed, filled with trivia, addresses, definitions, and a raft of interesting facts, but designed either for one whose interest is merely casual, or who already knows so much about the workings of our central bank that they're dying for a round of trivial pursuit.

      3 out of 5 stars Touches on everything, but not deeply.......2005-01-16

      This book goes into a tremendous amount of detail on several subjects I simply had no interest in. If you want to get a job at the Fed, for example, this book has an entire chapter dedicated to just that. How about developing our communities? Because the Federal Reserve Board is required by law to promote local economic development, there is a chapter on this as well. Would you like to know if we Americans are saving enough? No worries. Since the Federal Reserve helps member banks develop consumer education programs, there is a chapter on savings, too.

      For the general reader, where this book is very helpful is in showing just how many responsibilities the Fed has. There are educational, regulatory, supervisory, as well as the more obvious monetary roles the Fed must play. It, of course, has a national role as America's central bank, but it also has a powerful international role that is less well-known. This book gives an abbreviated history of the institution and America's banking history, and it also has an entire chapter on the circumlocutory way Fed Chairmen express themselves in public (called "Fedspeak").

      What the book is less helpful with is detail. Everything is discussed, but nothing is dealt with at even moderate length.

      5 out of 5 stars A Great Guide To Understanding The Fed.......2005-01-04

      This book was written by an insider. This is not a bad thing. This book is a great tool to help anyone understand the workings of the Federal Reserve System. Whether or not someone agrees with how the Fed runs itself is a seperate matter from this books intention and who this book was created for. This book does not get into philosophical idealogy of economic systems and it shouldn't. It accurately discusses the tools the Fed uses to help steer the economy in the direction they want it to go. It also explains the layout of the structure of the Fed. This book is good for anyone curious about the structure / tools of the Fed and why it does what it does. The Fed helps run our economy and this book shows how pretty decently. It won't disappoint you, as it is straight-forward and comprehendable. Great for anyone who works in banking / finance / invesments.

      5 out of 5 stars Best book on the market for grantseekers.......2001-03-29

      I have been a K-12 education grantwriter for ten years, and have read a number of books on the subject of writing grants. In fact, I used to write reviews for a column in a national fundraising magazine. Mary Hall's book is by far and away THE BEST I have ever come across. I use it as my personal bible, and recommend it to anyone who wants to write a solid proposal.

      4 out of 5 stars Do you need a grant? Write one yourself with this book.......2000-09-15

      Monthly it seems I run into someone telling me, "You know, if we could only find someone to write a grant for us..." Grant writing is hard work. It demands some expertise in communication, relationship building and technical writing. When you are not sure where to start, this is the book for you. We have used this to develop several grant proposals.

      It is not a guide for starting small businesses, it is for the organization or non-profit that needs an infusion of cash to make their dreams happen. The truth is, funds are out there waiting for someone that can present their case lucidly, with creativity and intelligence.

      This volume includes sections such as: proposal ideas, selecting a funding source, writing the proposal (with each section outlined). It additionally includes a large number of helpful forms, checklists and evaluation materials.

      As mentioned by other reviewers, the greatest need is now for a new edition. The Internet does offer a whole new world of funding opportunities and methods. Still, with this book and some simple search engine tools, you would be able to utilize the latest technologies with the basics of this book to develop your funding proposals.

      5 out of 5 stars Very popular book on grant writing in our library.......2000-03-08

      This book is a must for anyone involved in writing grant proposals. It is very popular at our library, and the copies we own are in almost constant use. I would like to see an updated edition released with web information included, but until then, this book is one of the best on the market.

      4 out of 5 stars A Classic in Grantwriting for Non Profit Organizations.......2000-02-29

      This text is a classic in the world of non profit fundraising. A previous reviewer who indicated that it is not helpful for acquiring small business loans is missing the boat!

      This book has helped me many times in my career as a development professional. It is essential for the novice grantwriter and can be incredibly helpful for the expert. Although I have written grants for years, I often pick up this book as a refresher whenever I am about to start a new project.

      It provides not only basic guidelines for grantwriting, but also information on strategic planning, evaluations, and budgets. Mary Hall provides sample query letters, budgets, grant applications and even RFPs for federal agencies.

      My only complaint is that it's still in the 3rd edition! A 4th edition needs to include on-line grantwriting resources, grantmakers who have websites and submitting grant applications on line.

      1 out of 5 stars the fact that this is the third edition blows my mind!.......1999-11-21

      after reading this worthless piece of garbage, i decided to jump online and type up a brief review. so, here it is...if you're thinking of purchasing this book, don't! if you really want to get a small business loan just be totally honest. take it from me, i give those loans.

      Ok this is a very useful, detailed guide. If you are new at looking for employment with the FEDS this guide is for you. It's very easy to read, well put together and all the information is there on one book. If you are already familiar on how to look for federal employment, know where to go and how to apply, this book could be somewhat useful. In my case I was looking for something that could have tips on improving my chances withing the federal system, unfortunately there are not real tips, just factual information. There is some room for improvement.

      "The Complete Idiot's Guide to the FBI" is a good (although very basic) guide to the agency and its functions. Not surprisingly, just like other books in the "Complete Idiots" series, it caters to readers who only need a simple overview of the FBI.

      "The FBI: A Comprehensive Reference Guide," by Athan Theoharis, is even better. Thomas Ackerman's "FBI Careers: The Ultimate Guide to Landing a Job As One of Americas Finest" is also a great book for agency information and history, and it's the best book on the market for FBI career seekers.

        Product Description

        This electronic book on DVD-ROM provides a unique and comprehensive collection of American government documents on the heartbreaking Hurricane Katrina disaster of August – September 2005, which created an incredible human catastrophe and devastation in Louisiana (especially New Orleans), Mississippi, and Alabama. Katrina will likely be recorded as the worst natural disaster in the history of the United States, producing catastrophic damage and untold casualties in the New Orleans area and along the Mississippi gulf coast, and additional casualties in south Florida. The extent of the physical and human devastation from this hurricane cannot yet be estimated. This horrific storm became a depression southeast of Nassau in the Bahamas August 23. It became a tropical storm the following day. Katrina moved through the Bahamas, and then turned westward toward south Florida and gradually strengthened. Katrina became a category 1 hurricane and made landfall on the Miami-Dade / Broward county line during the evening August 25. After crossing south Florida and entering the Gulf of Mexico, Katrina began to strengthen, reaching category 5 on August 28 about 250 miles south-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Katrina's winds reached their peak intensity of 175 mph winds and the pressure fell to 902 mb - the fourth lowest pressure on record - later that day. Katrina turned to the northwest and then north, making landfall in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana with 140 mph winds (category 4) at 6:10 AM CDT on 29 August. Continuing northward, Katrina made a second landfall near the Louisiana/Mississippi border at 10 AM CDT, with maximum winds of near 125 mph (Category 3). There is material from twenty-six federal agencies and departments, with in-depth national reports, technical and scientific data, and images: · Bush White House · FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) · Army Corps of Engineers · National Guard · Department of Homeland Security · NASA (satellite images and science data) · National Hurricane Center (NHC), National Weather Service · U.S. Geological Survey · NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) · Commerce Department · Department of Transportation · Education Department · Centers for Disease Control · Energy Department · Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) · Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) · Food and Drug Administration (FDA) · Health and Human Services (HHS) · Federal Trade Commission (FTC) · Treasury Department · OSHA (Occupational Health and Safety Administration) · HUD (Housing and Urban Development) · Justice Department Material unique to this DVD-ROM edition that is not found in our basic CD-ROM includes total coverage of the National Hurricane Center, comprehensive images from the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program Coastal Impact Study program of Katrina, and special coverage of disaster assistance and CDC disaster guidelines.

          This set of four CD-ROMs contains a brand-new, fully updated and revised collection of the finest federal documents and resources on nuclear, chemical, and biological (NBC) terrorism threats. It represents a major improvement of our highly acclaimed, best-selling NBC guide, with authoritative information and documents on the threats posed by terrorism and weapons of mass destruction (WMD): bioterrorism agents like anthrax, smallpox, and plague; chemical agents including nerve gas and blister agents; military and improvised nuclear weapons; radiological weapons; and radiation from nuclear facility sabotage and accidents.

This encyclopedic collection of manuals, handbooks, self-study courses, government plans and programs, and reference works includes virtually every public domain document pertaining to every aspect of the risk to civilians from terrorism, and military personnel in warfare.

            Book Description

            This up-to-date and comprehensive DVD-ROM provides an exhaustive, authoritative, and unique collection of documents about American election procedures, voting, and balloting, including special material about the 2004 Presidential election and the Electoral College, with over 200,000 pages and nearly 4 gigabytes of material. There is a wealth of information pertinent to laws, rules, and court cases on disputed election results, ballot recounts, court challenges, ballots and voting equipment, undervotes, overvotes, civil rights and disenfranchisement, provisional ballots, voter fraud and intimidation, and military and overseas ballots. We have also included the entire contents of our CD-ROM title on the Florida 2000 Bush versus Gore election recount cases with full Supreme Court coverage (which sells separately). Every aspect of the Supreme Court cases is covered - petitions, oral argument transcripts, briefs, and opinions.

            There is detailed coverage of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), the Voting Rights Act and the enforcement activities of the Department of Justice, the work of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) and the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), and the Office of Special Counsel related to the Hatch Act. Coverage of the Federal Election Commission is notably thorough, with complete information on campaign finance reports, reporting forms and filing information, historical demographic statistics and reports, constitutional and statutory provisions, regulations and reports on the Bipartisan Campaign Reform of Act of 2002 (BCRA, McCain-Feingold), political parties, voter registration (including the Voter Registration Act - Motor Voter) and much more. This DVD-ROM uses next-generation search technology that allows complete indexing and makes all PDF files on the disc fully searchable. The massive scope of this material is truly awesome!

            In addition, there are historical voting tables from Congressional elections, and election statistics gathered by the House from 1920 to 2002; House lobbying disclosure forms, and Senate election material.

            In all, the disc has an incredible total of over 200,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the disc. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index. This enables the user to search all the PDF files on the disc at one time for words or phrases using just one search command! The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. There is no other reference format that is as fast, convenient, comprehensive, and portable!

            Our discs are privately-compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched, or printed without untold hours of tedious searching and downloading.

            This DVD-ROM is for use in a computer DVD drive. The files can be accessed from the File Explorer in the same way that you open files from a CD-ROM disc; the CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats are functionally the same, but the DVD has more than six times greater storage capacity. Of course, these discs CANNOT be "played" in a DVD player connected to a television set. They contain computer-formatted data, not video.
