Praise for Focus on Value "Focus on Value–with its theoretical and practical focus on economic profit fundamentals–is a modern day ‘Graham and Dodd’ primer on company and equity securities analysis."–Robert S. Hamada, Edward Eagle Brown Distinguished Service Professor of Finance, The University of Chicago Graduate School of Business "Now that investors have abandoned momentum and are migrating back to fundamental investing, the market has become a more rational place. This book is a manual for serious investors who believe that identifying growing corporate earning power is the foundation of value creation. Those following its precepts should minimize risk and be rewarded over the long term."–Byron R. Wien, Chief U.S. Investment Strategist, Morgan Stanley Dean Witter & Co. "Economic profit is one of the most useful managerial tools as well as a key to understanding the valuation of companies. Focus on Value is an outstanding piece of work. It captures the full spectrum of the ‘Metric Wars’ without ever confusing the reader. The serious student of economic profit will be richly rewarded by reading this excellent book from cover to cover."–Mario A. Corti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Swissair Group, Zurich "Messrs. Grant and Abate have provided an analytical tool for corporate executives and investment managers which takes the concepts of economic profit and value maximization to the next level."–Suresh Thadhani, Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President, Alcan, Inc. "This book makes a real contribution to the most critical element in helping companies implement efficient capital resource allocation by highlighting the direct linkage between economic profit and stock price."–Jack Warner, Chairman, Kerry Inc. "The authors have put together an excellent piece of work and finally provide readers seriously interested in applying economic profit with a practical, market-oriented approach to integrate the basic building blocks of economic profit with valuation and market expectations."–David King, Director of Research, North America, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Corporate Value Consulting "In an era of following the herd toward indexation and price momentum, it is refreshing to see thinking out of the box and substantiating the tenets of an investment process that equates value with real investment opportunity."–Eric Colson, Senior Vice President, Callan Associates www.wileyfinance.com

An old radio from the 1940s brings the kids into contact with the past. Instead of receiving regular broadcasts, the radio picks up the voice of Jennifer's grandfather who died during WWII.

How would you feel if your world changed overnight and suddenly you were able to experience how other people existed? What if you could see what they saw, live as they lived, or feel the actual emotions they felt? What if wearing an Egyptian ring causes this to happen and opens a connection to the supernatural that you can't close? What if you keep having these experiences and no one knows how to make them stop? How would you handle it? That's the dilemma that faces the three characters in "Mulberry Grove - The Ring." This book introduces you to the three main characters (Luke, David, and Jennifer) and the sleepy midwestern town (Mulberry Grove) in which the story is set. This book is a cross between the Hardy Boys and the X-Files. It gives the reader a chance to visit different times periods yet also be a part of the modern world. The present, past and future all exist in the same strand of time.
