The author of the rags-to-riches real estate bestseller Nothing Down for the '90s presents advice drawn from 20 years of writing and promoting get-rich books through seminars, infomercials, and home-study courses. In Multiple Streams of Income, Robert G. Allen shows you how to create income with little or no investment. Says Allen: "Today, very few families can survive on less than two streams of income. In the volatile future, you will need a portfolio of income streams--not one or two--but many streams from completely different and diversified sources."

Beginning with advice on controlling spending and increasing savings, Allen hits his stride in chapters on stock market and real estate investing. He draws on the investment advice of others, including Peter Lynch, and even suggests that you invest in Berkshire Hathaway and let Warren Buffett manage your money. Allen also shares his real estate strategies for finding motivated sellers, securing creative financing, and buying foreclosures and tax liens. Additional chapters cover multilevel-network marketing, information and product licensing, and marketing on the Internet. Throughout are checklists, work sheets, and testimonials, as well as pointers to more articles and materials on the author's Web site. It's useful to have so much information so concisely and well explained, and many who read this book will find it hard to resist implementing one, if not several, of Allen's recommended income strategies. --Scott Harrison.

Imagine a publisher who wants to "stamp" his ebooks on the fly with the name of the buyer (to discourage sharing). Such a publisher would (and we know one who does) use iText for the task. Developers looking to enhance web- and other applications with dynamic PDF document generation and/or manipulation will find this book unique in content and readability. Based on ongoing examples that encourage learning "in action," they will finally understand PDF and learn how to build applications that produce professional, high-quality PDF documents. While the basic functionality of iText is easy to acquire, this book lowers the learning curve for more advanced functionality. It explains how to use iText to create/manipulate PDF documents on-the-fly in one or more of the following situations:

Due to time or size, the PDF documents can't be produced manually

The content of the document must be calculated or based on user input.

The content needs to be customized or personalized.

The PDF content needs to be served in a web environment.

Documents are to be created in "batch process" mode.

All the examples are written in Java, but they can be easily adapted to .NET by developers using one of the .NET ports: iTextSharp (C#) or iText.NET (#J). While iText is a free Java library and the examples are written from the point of view of the Java developer, nine out of ten examples can be run by .NET developers with only minimal changes..

Since 1979, China has attracted over US$500 billion foreign direct investment. Yet making an investment in China is not only the biggest business phenomenon, but also the most challenging business task in the world. In this landmark book, Dr Wei Wang, a leading expert on China investment with extensive managerial work and international experience, and intimate knowledge of both Western and Chinese cultures and histories, tackles this phenomenal challenge right at its heart. He shows that the key reason for the many failed or under-performed China ventures is that foreign investors have been conducting a "love affair" with China, with a deep understanding of China giving way to the attraction of a market of 1.2 billion people. To succeed, foreign investors should aim to live a "family life" with China, emphasising building a long-term relationship and a capacity to weather the ups and downs in the relationship.

By examining Sino-Western joint ventures, the most complex and challenging of all business arrangements that are in a sense an engagement of 2,500 years of almost oppositely developed Western and Chinese civilisations, The China Executive provides an inside-out, human-centred perspective on what it takes to achieve business success in China: from stepping into the networked society, reading the dynamics of the China market, approaching and selecting a partner, and negotiating with a potential partner, through to bridging communication gaps, training local staff, leading the Chinese, and balancing managing and leading. Packed with anecdotes, pictures, and above all, wisdom, the book is easily accessible and highly practical.

Using China as a reference point, The China Executive also illuminates the limitations of the Western view of business, and offers existing and potential executives worldwide the definitive guide to developing a global view of business in the 21st century, including the integration of results and relationships, of analysis and intuition, and of competition and co-operation. The book concludes that the secret of global business success lies in taking a higher worldview by combining a Western things-oriented, divided worldview with a Chinese human-centred, integrated worldview, and mastering global business by combining modern Western management excellence with ancient Chinese leadership wisdom..
