Reviews"[ Climbing - Philosophy for Everyone: Because It's There] proves to be a most thoughtful and engaging collection of articles that serve to intellectualize what is thought by many to be a purely adrenaline-fueled endeavor." ( aethlon , January 2011"If you're interested in why we climb and take risks for what many consider a frivolous activity, then add this book to your holiday gift list. It will provide lots of entertaining reading and spark interesting conversations around the nightly campfire." (About.com, 11 December 2010) "The authors are both climbers and academics (almost all in philosophy), so the essays ring with rigor and authenticity..... the essays provoke an intellectual frisson rarely elicited by modern climbing literature." ( Climbing Magazine , October 2010) "This has to be the best book I have read on the subject of climbing. Most of the essays are written by seasoned climbers and ... are varied and interesting. Many of the questions put forth are of the moral and ethical reasons for climbing, and they also address many other aspects of the climbing game. The novice climber can definitely benefit from reading this book also as it explores several topics that are not easily found in a text about climbing. I believe that this book will enable all who read it to consider deeply what it is that they are doing while they are climbing and as a result be able to be better climbers not only to the climbing community but will understand their inner motivations about their own climbing."

SynopsisA Revolutionary Way to Trade "John Ehlers, 'master of cycles, 'delivers more than just the definitive work on cycle analysis and adaptive techniques; he raises financial mathematics to a higher level. The book solves the problem of identifying sideways and trending markets, and teaches how to minimize lag. For nonmathematicians, Ehlers provides clear chapter summaries and fully programmed systems that make this book a prize."-Perry J. Kaufman, President of Strategic Market Systems, Author of Trading Systems and Methods "John Ehlers combines innovative insights into price behavior with a powerful, concrete approach to trading. The result is a unique blend of high theory and hands-on, practical trading systems and methods."-Nelson Freeburg, Editor of Formula Research "John Ehlers has made more original, analytically sound contributions to the study of technical analysis than anyone except Art Merrill. This volume caps years of development and makes available to traders successful techniques they would have little chance of creating on their own. I recommend it to all advanced traders without hesitation." -John Sweeney, Editor of Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities magazine "John Ehlers has been a regular standout in trading system rankings for many years. Now we know why! Rocket Science for Traders is a true tour de force!"-David Brown, retired CEO of Telescan Visit our Web site at www.wileyfinance.com, Predict the future more accurately in today's difficult trading times The Holy Grail of trading is knowing what the markets will do next. Technical analysis is the art of predicting the market based on tested systems. Some systems work well when markets are "trending," and some work well when they are "cycling," going neither up nor down, but sideways. In Trading with Signal Analysis, noted technical analyst John Ehlers applies his engineering expertise to develop techniques that predict the future more accurately in these times that are otherwise so difficult to trade. Since cycles and trends exist in every time horizon, these methods are useful even in the strongest bull--or bear--market. John F. Ehlers (Goleta, CA) speaks internationally on the subject of cycles in the market and has expanded the scope of his contributions to technical analysis through the application of scientific digital signal processing techniques., Predict the future more accurately in today's difficult trading times The Holy Grail of trading is knowing what the markets will do next. Technical analysis is the art of predicting the market based on tested systems., Die technische Analyse basiert auf erprobten Systemen, mit deren Hilfe man die weitere Markt- und Kursentwicklung relativ treffsicher vorhersagen kann. Einige dieser Systeme funktionieren gut bei Märkten im Auf- bzw. Abwärtstrend, andere bei Märkten im Seitwärtstrend. In "Rocket Science for Traders" beschreibt der berühmte technische Analyst John Ehlers wie er sein finanztechnisches Know-How einsetzt, um Techniken zu entwickeln, mit denen man die künftige Marktentwicklung deutlich genauer prognostizieren kann. Ehlers Methoden funktionieren auch im stärksten Hausse- oder Baissemarkt, da es in jedem Zeithorizont Auf-, Ab- und Seitwärtstrends gibt. Dieses Buch gibt dem versierten Händler die geeigeten Werkzeuge an die Hand, damit er auch in schwierigen Marktsituationen seine Anlageentscheidung auf fundierte, treffsichere Prognosen stützen kann.
