Best Genral Business Math Book on the Market
Slater has made this the best and most comprehensive Business Math book available for age groups from K-9 thru college gen business math classes.I have purchased numerous copies for gifts to students truly interested in developing their general business math skills.

A Big Disappointment
This book is just too elementary. I was very disappointed when I got it. It must have been designed for high school students.

An excellent textbook
As an instructor at a college, I have used the last three editions of Mr Slater's book since 1999. This has to be one of the most understandable, helpful and explanatory textbooks ever produced.
The examples are clearly written, and the use of small,quick reference 'vignettes' make it so easy for the student to get answers to just about any question they want to pose.
I use many textbooks, as I teach various business and management subjects, and this one stands head and shoulders above any other textbook covering this particular discipline.
The BEST part of this book? It can be kept as a reference guide for just about any mathematical question that comes up in everyday life, such as credit card balances, mortgage amortizations etc.

Quick and Handy for Dinnertime math review
This book is an excellent , quick and handy book . It is meant for grades 1-3 and has lots of short questions that I ask my son while preparing dinner or other chores . It has quick questions like think of a 2 digit number, now double it, triple it etc... or hunt for 3 dimensional shapes in this room or something like that . I like the fact that the questions are hints for parents/ teachers that can be expanded on and used as fillers during those times when parents are busy and also want to spend time with their children . It enhances the mental math power of the children . It makes them do all the math in their mind without the need for a paper and pencil .This is something that you can put it in your purse and take it and play fun math games with your child while waiting in a long line or useful during a long car / plane ride . All in all, a very handy , smart book for parents / teachers to use it with their children / students .

Check please!
I love Shane MacGowan, but apparently one drink would be plenty. Written in an odd style, with the writters snipets of his partner Victoria dos everthing _ _ _ously. A swirl of stream of drunken conscienceness that at times felt like I was losing brain cells. A look into the mind of a lyrical genious that maybe I'm too nongenious to understand.

Self involved tripe
I was so looking forward to reading this, however Victoria Mary Clarke (hereafter VMC) chose this to be her sounding board on her self importance. Practically every chapter had some form of self praise "Victoria nodded attractively" "Victoria shook a prada cladded foot" "Victoria nibbled a digestive biscuit attractively" (not word for word quotes)

What should have been a riot of a read was sullied by an amateur shot of VMC trying to grab the limelight

Terrible

Shane at his worst...
I love the Pogues. I love to read about music. I love to read about the creative process, especially from songwriters. And I consider Shane MacGowan to be a brilliant songwriter. This book, however, is a stream of drunken conversations about his life, his opinions, explanations that he's not really that much of a racist, bragging about his ability to bed fans, etc. The main problem, though, is that his songs boil down his experiences to the essentials, giving brilliant snapshots of certain times, places and characters. These rambling, unedited accounts almost seem like an attempt to give merit to his detractors that say he's not much more than a mouthy drunk. The DVD "If I Should Fall..." balances the two very well. This doesn't even try.

Interesting Read About Rock'n'Roll's Greatest Drunk
"A Drink with Shane MacGowan" is just that.It's a series of Shane MacGowan interviews by his closest companion, girlfriend/wife of over 14 years, Victoria Mary Clarke.Arranged like a play, in 8 acts, Clarke goes into the depths of the mind of the former singer and leading force of the Pogues, Shane MacGowan over various discussions.

The book is a great read that takes you back to his childhood in Tipperary, Ireland, thru his teenage years in London and on the road as the singer of the Nipps and of the Pogues.

Shane MacGowan is a great read because he is honest about his opinions and himself.He doesn't try to please people in this book.He talks about his life from his point of view.

I found many hilarious anecdotes throughout the book such when he recalled Lisa Stansfield breaking his nose and how the Pogues lovely bassist, Cait O'Riordan knocked Matt Dillon down a flight of stairs during the shooting of a the video "Christmas in New York."

The book doesn't talk enough about the songs he wrote.Early in the book, there's a wonderful passage where he discusses the lyrics to "The Dunes."

At times, MacGowan goes off on tangents that aren't clear.But these are mainly sections where he attempts to make a distinction between traditional Irish instruments and replaced instruments (such as the accordian).

MacGowan has a very comical side in his psyche in the form of contradictions.At times, he'll come off as crass, invigorated by the very thought of violence, yet at the same time, intensely religious, but in a "Taoist/Roman Catholic" sense.

He really sheds a lot of light on his proud Irish heritage and made me reflect on my own Irishness proudly.

MacGowan's most interesting sequence in the book came from his contempt of the music industry.At one point he discussed about how pop hits were mundane and boring and blamed that because those with the power like mundane and boring music.To further illustrate his point, he compared a mundane and boring pop song to a mundane and boring murder.

That particular sequence I found hilarious. It also says something to me when it only took me three days to read this 358 page book.With a very bad flu mind you.

Anyway, if you have no one to go to a pub with.Go to the pub anyway, order lagers and read this book.Its company is as good as any great drinking moments with your best friends.


Do not read this literally.I mean, he was and may still very well be a drug addict despite his denials.I think some of his "expertise" should be read more humorously such as when he repeatedly emphasizes that "Brandy" is the worst of all drugs.

Kinda interesting
I love all things pogues/Shane, but this was rather dull.i would recommend it if i could get it at the library. ... Read more
