Dewey code: 332
Price: $86.99

Review Mastering the ISDA Master Agreement: A Practical Guidefor Negotiation (Market Editions) / Financial Times Prentice Hall:

The ISDA Master Agreement was published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association , Inc. in January 1993 and is the main agreement used in the over-the-counter (OTC) global derivatives market. Every year organisations such as banks, financial institutions and major corporations collectively spend millions of pounds in training people on the ISDA Master Agreement. Courses often last 3-4 days and tend to leave attendees with bulky, uncoordinated materials and brain overload. The ISDA Master Agreement is a complex document and it normally takes 1-2 years for a negotiator to become fully proficient. This book provides a practical, clear and useful foundation for the fledgling negotiator. It will give the many new entrants to derivatives documentation the confidence to approach their work, without the need for constant reference to seniors or regular attendance on training courses.

Review Virginia Employer's Guide: A Handbook of Employment Laws and Regulations / Summers Press:

This book concerns the most important relationship most people have outside the family: the relationship between an employer and an employee. That relationship is crisscrossed by a complex web of laws and regulations. This book describes those laws in a direct, straightforward fashion. The Virginia Employer's Guide provides the "lay of the land" of personnel law and regulations and integrates the state and federal law that is relevant to an employer. Each section of the book attempts to include both the underlying concept and a simple, straightforward rule. This book is written in small, self-contained sections. The reader does not need to refer to the rest of the chapter, much less the rest of the book, to find information about a topic. Although this method of writing causes some duplication, it more than repays the reader in the efficiency of its use. The Virginia Employer's Guide is supplemented at least yearly, and more often if major legislation or court cases require. In order to incorporate updated pages easily, the book is published in a three-ring notebook. [+]
The Virginia Employer's Guide is, and will continue to be, one of the most current employment law books available anywhere in the nation. "Memo English" is used throughout this book. Whenever possible, the author has avoided terms not found regularly in a newspaper and discussions that would appear out-of-place in a business memo. This book is a non-technical discussion of technical topics.
