Pit Bull
“Investors who feel like they have what it takes to trade . . . should read Pit Bull.” —The Wall Street Journal Welcome to the world of Martin “Buzzy” Schwartz, Champion Trader—the man whose nerves of steel and killer instinct in the canyons of Wall Street earned him the well-deserved name “Pit Bull.” This is the true story of how Schwartz became the best of the best, of the people and places he discovered along the way, and of the trader’s tricks and techniques he used to make his millions. “The most entertaining and insightful look at Wall Street since Liar’s Poker.” —Paul Tudor Jones II, founder, Tudor Investment Corporation and the Robin Hood Foundation “An archetypal text, true to life on the Street, destined to be discussed over drinks at trader hangouts after the market closes.” —Kirkus Reviews “Hilarious and eye-opening . . . Pit Bull tells the real deal about life on Wall Street—and how you make money there.” —Martin Zweig, author of Martin Zweig’s Winning on Wall Street
General and Specific Mental Abilities
The history of testing mental abilities has seen the dominance of two contrasting approaches, psychometrics and neuropsychology. These two traditions have different theories and methodologies, but overlap considerably in the tests they use. Historically, psychometrics has emphasized the primacy of a general factor, while neuropsychology has emphasized specific abilities that are dissociable. This issue about the nature of human mental abilities is important for many practical concerns. Questions such as gender, ethnic, and age-related differences in mental abilities are relatively easy to address if they are due to a single dominant trait. Presumably such a trait can be measured with any collection of complex cognitive tests. If there are many specific mental abilities, these would be much harder to measure and associated social issues would be more difficult to resolve. The relative importance of general and specific abilities also has implications for educational practices. This book includes the diverse opinions of experts from several fields including psychometrics, neuropsychology, speech language and hearing, and applied psychology.
Human Judgement and Decision Processes
Human Judgment and Decision Processes is a collection of papers that covers the various theoretical frameworks that relate judgment to decision making. The book is comprised of 10 chapters that cover both mathematical models involved in decision making and interpersonal aspect of judgment process. The first five chapters cover papers about decision making. The subjects of the papers include multiattribute utility measurement for social decision making; portfolio theory and the measurement of risk; and information-integration analysis of risky decision making. The other half of the text deals with the judgment process, which includes topics such as interaction of judge and informational components; judgment and decision processes in the formation and change of social attitudes; and the role of probabilistic and syllogistic reasoning in cognitive organization and social inference. The book will be of great use to psychologists involved in research on human judgment and decision process.
Getting Unstuck
Finally... a fluency technique that actually works. The author wanted to share her discovery with other adults who stutter. While approaching adults who stutter, she realized that adults do not want to discuss their speech with others, even when being offered something that would help. So she decided to write a book, to give adults a private format in which to deal with their stuttering. This book helps to demystify stuttering, and gives simple directions for using a fluency technique that actually works and is easy to use. It is written in nontechnical terms, so it is easy to navagate. It gives you the possibility of changing your life.
Watching My Language:
America's most entertaining language maven is back with more words to live by in his latest exploration of hot catchphrases, syntactical controversies, and other matters of national linguistic importance. Before you scratch that seven-year-itch, you might want to know where it came from. And before someone blurts, "You just don't get it," perhaps you should consult the Pulitzer Prize winning language columnist on the origins of that snappy feminist motto.
