Papa Rico, Papa Pobre: Lo Que Ensenan los Ricos a Sus Hijos Sobre el Dinero-que los Pobres y la Clase Media No Hacen

Book Description

The #1 NewYork Times bestseller that started the phenomenal series is now available in this special Spanish language edition. While growing up, personal-finance author and lecturer Robert T. Kiyosaki had two paternal role models: one, his father, a well educated but fiscally poor man; and two, his best friend's father, an eighth-grade dropout who became a self-made multimillionaire. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his 'poor dad' pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his 'rich dad,' and Kiyosaki developed a unique economic perspective. In RICH DAD POOR DAD, he lays out his philosophy behind his relationship with money, sharing the secrets that allowed him to retire at 47. Among them, he addresses the myth that earning a high income is necessary to be rich, challenges the belief that a house is an asset, and explains what kids need to know about money for their future financial success.

Hi, the cover of this book is very thin, I must buy an envelope for the book.

Buen libro, traduccion mediocre..........2007-04-02

El libro es estupendo y me ha enseñado muchas cosas respecto al dinero. Creo que todos deberian leerlo. Le di un puntaje de 3 ya que, como hispanohablante y traductora, se me hizo dificil de leer en su version española. La traduccion suena a eso: una traduccion. Asimismo, note una cantidad un tanto alarmante de faltas de ortografia y errores gramaticales. Este libro se habria beneficiado de una edicion minuciosa. En fin, se puede leer si no hay mas remedio. De otro modo, recomiendo que lean su version original en ingles. (NOTA: Escribo sin acentos porque siempre se joroban :).

Nueva forma de pensar acerca del dinero........2007-03-19

Al leer este libro te das cuenta de como piensan los ricos acerca del dinero y te ayuda a crear formas de hacerlo crecer y ponerlo a tu servicio. El libro esta escrito de manera muy sencilla donde cualquiera puede entenderlo sin esfuerzo, verdades simples de largo alcance.

Book Description

the most complete and up-to-date bilingual business dictionary available—over 80,000 entries

¿Habla español?/ Do you speak Spanish?

¿Habla inglés? / Do you speak English?

¿Habla de negocios? / Do you speak business?

The business world has a language all its own. Accounting, finance, banking, real estate, insurance, and other business-related fields have specialized terminology. As more and more English-speaking professionals do business with Spanish-speaking professionals, and vice versa, the ability to speak "business" in both languages is essential.

This authoritative, comprehensive reference helps bridge the language gap for professionals conducting business in both Spanish and English with:

More than 80,000 entries—business terms currently used in each language
Terms covering every area of international business: accounting, advertising, commerce, economics, e-commerce, finance, international trade, tax, securities, banking, real estate, management, insurance, and more
A user-friendly format designed for quick reference
Up-to-date information, including current e-commerce terms and common acronyms
Word-for-word and phrase-for-phrase translations

This is a reference business professionals will rely on again and again because in today's global marketplace, companies can't afford to let language barriers be business barriers.

Unappropriate but comprehensive.......2007-10-10

This is a jargon Spanish-English Dictionary with good coverage of business terms. However, the reality is that Spanish-speaking countries often use different terms for the same concept. To be useful, such a dictionary, in addition to just translating a term to the other language, should offer a brief definition, enough for a person to know if the term means what he wants to say. In the case that different terms exist for the same concept, it would be very helpful if the dictionary specified the country or countries that use each specific term. From the English side, which I am not familiar with, it could be that UK, Australia and the US have different terms too.. A dictionary that did not deal with such realities should better be called a Mexican Spanish-US English Dictionary..

Sin dudas, el mejor.......2007-01-11

Soy economista, por mi profesion suelo leer bastante libros y diarios, especificamente de economia y en ingles, tambien poseo varios diccionarios financieros pero los mismos son muy incompletos.
Lo considero el mejor, por que casi no hay un termino economico que no lo contenga. Con anterioridad a la compra, he tenido que recurrir a otros y muchas veces los terminos buscados no estaban.
Sin lugar dudas, mas alla de lo economico de su precio, por su contenido es el mejor.

Vastly superior to anything else out there!.......2006-05-10

For my work as business translator I have bought every bilingual English-Spanish business dictionary published for almost 25 years now. Previous purchases included Wiley's English-Spanish, Spanish-English Business Dictionary by the same author, and The Oxford Spanish Business Dictionary. Even though the Oxford dictionary claims to have over 50,000 entries, and the Wiley dictionary 40,000, the Wiley dictionary was in reality much larger.

These were the dictionaries I used the most. The rest I had practically never looked at. For several years these two dictionaries helped me get my job done, but as each year went by more and more terms I needed were not there. Terms such as those in electronic commerce and business theory, to name a couple.

Happily, a few months ago Webster's New World English-Spanish/Spanish-English Business Dictionary was published, and now I have access to over 80,000 entries and over 100,000 translations! Its 2006 publication date insures that it is completely current, and amazon lets you see sample content right on this page. If you go to the Wiley website you can see the entire letter a in the English to Spanish section. I suggest going there and seeing for yourself how much you can find there, and then coming back here to buy it, as it is about $13 cheaper here.

It is clear that this will be the only English-Spanish business dictionary I will need for years to come! Check out the sample content and see for yourself if you agree!

Wise Owl.......2007-07-17

Throughout the years, I've read various philosophers and grasped their differant ideologies. I haven't read too much of Gracian. After reading the Art of Wordly Wisdom as traslated by Maurer, I feel as though I've been deprived of this great Philosopher. I wish I had read more of Gracian's work earlier on. This book details various compilations of conduct and thinking. It truly is a gem. It is a Highly recommended book.

great translation of a classic.......2007-05-13

a modern trasnlation that loses none of the fine qualities of early editions....recommended

This book is great. It's one of those books you can pick up for 5 minutes each morning or evening and get motivation or advice for your day.

Age old wisdom.......2007-01-18

I use it mainly for work...to manage people and relationships. It makes you aware of your behaviour and it's impact on others and vice versa. I would recommend this book to people trying move up the corporate ladder.

This is a book that I read over and over and over...... And yet, there is no story, no plot, no beginning and no end.
So many great rules (suggestions) to live by. I love it.

El Liderazgo.......2002-11-30

Esta obra trata el tema del liderazgo personal, al mostrar como se puede identificar y entrenar a los líderes y fomentar un espíritu de equipo.

Las pautas del autor nos ayudarán a aumentar nuestra productividad personal y nos enseñarán cómo apoyar a otros para que ellos se desarrollen a su máximo. El autor, John C. Maxwell nos revela el secreto de desarrollarnos como líderes extraordinarios.

Dos ejemplos de las ideas claras y sencillas del autor son:
1. su definición de liderazgo, y 2. su idea de la diferencia entre gerencia y liderazgo.

Según el autor el liderazgo es influencia. El que piensa que es líder y nadie lo sigue se engaña. Y la diferencia entre gerencia y liderazgo es: Lograr que otros hagan el trabajo es tarea de un gerente. Inspirar a otros a hacer un trabajo mejor es el logro de un líder.

El liderazgo no es asunto de los que han nacido líderes. Las cualidades del liderazgo pueden adquirirse. Cuando uno relaciona estas cualidades con sus anhelos y metas está en camino de ser líder.

Put your dinero where your boca is..........2003-10-07

The reader from Atlanta really trashes this dictionary and takes care to provide some examples of the flaws discovered. I was surprised, because it was recommended to me by an official translator in Madrid and I was considering purchasing it. Given that the Atlanta reader doesn't like the Rutledge dictionary, I'd really appreciate his/her recommendation of a better dictionary to serve as reference for business translations, especially in the investment field. Thank you.

Many, many errors.......1999-11-23

There are literally dozens of errors in this dictionary. "Banner year" is translated literally as "año insignia," which is nonsense in Spanish. "Mover and shaker" is also translated literally ("promotor e impulsor"). It's as though the author didn't understand English! Other absurdities are "herein" (aquí dentro--should be "en el presente"), hereunder (más abajo--should be "conforme al presente"), etc. Again, these are literal translations that do not fit in business or legal writing. "Judicial notice" which is actually "reconocimiento de hechos notorios" is translated as citación judicial--again, complete lack of understanding of the term. I'd stay away from this one like the plague.

Best Spanish Commercial Dictionary.......1999-09-02

As a translator who specializes in financial and commerical texts, I can honestly say that the Routledge is the most complete dictionary I have found on the subject. There is nothing that compares to it.

This highly successful program offers a flexible, concise introduction to grammar and communication for students and professionals seeking a working knowledge of the Spanish language. Designed for one- or two-semester courses in Introductory Spanish, Basic Spanish Grammar offers a wealth of features and components that also make it ideal for college extension courses, adult and continuing education courses, and Spanish courses for professionals or special purposes. In six correlated manuals, students apply the structures presented in Basic Spanish Grammar to practical contexts and develop vocabulary for specific purposes. The core grammar text and correlated manuals may be used together in any combination or independently. A wide array of supplements enhances the program, including corresponding audio programs for each manual, a comprehensive testing program, and tutorial software for additional practice of grammar and vocabulary.

CAREER MANUALS

Note: These features are shared by all seven career manuals.

Each of the manuals focuses on practical vocabulary for career-related situations and is accompanied by its own audio program.
Each lesson of the manuals features realistic dialogues, personalized questions, situational role plays, and realia-based activities and corresponds grammatically with those in Basic Spanish Grammar. Lessons of Getting Along in Spanish and Spanish for Communication correlate thematically, grammatically, and lexically with those of Basic Spanish Grammar.
Notas culturales highlight Hispanic customs and traditions relevant to the subject matter of the manual.

Customer Reviews:

Very good and educational.......2007-04-18

This is a very good book. We used it in our large organization during our Spanish classes and the book was well received.

Good basic Spanish book.......2006-03-27

This books is a good book, but it's not a great book. The way the author chose to organize the book doesn't make sense. Some basic things that we should learn first are left until later, such as family and the names of each family member (ie. madre, padre, nino, nina, hermano, etc.). The book also has all these exercises that asks us questions and asks us to ask questions, but didn't really teach us how to ask questions. We doesn't get a formal introduction on how to use words like "Quien", "Donde", "Que", etc.

Positives of this book include: Vocabulary that is used in each chapter is usually listed in the beginning of each chapter, good and clear explanations of the grammar it does cover, and lots of exercises for practical practice.

Another quirk of this book is that it's written as if someone who's Espanol (Spain-ish) wrote it for an audience dealing with Mexicans. So, it would use vocabulary and tell us "cultural notes" that are not how Mexicans speak or write. My Spanish teacher has to tell us from time to time that certain vocabulary words are not used in Mexico and will give us the words that are used regularly. I was especially puzzled when the author put in a food menu with all the prices, dollars and cents, separated by a comma instead of a period.

Outside of a few quirks, the clarity and ease of understanding make this a good book for those learning Spanish for the first time or want a review if you haven't taken Spanish in a while. I would recommend this book.

Excellent Tool for Continuing Spanish Education.......2006-03-23

This book is very easy to work with and gives the reader the opportunity to pace themselves at their Spanish study. Exercises are thourough and answers are provied in the back of the book for those studying at home or for lesiure.

I only wish I had been able to acquire the most recent edition of the book.

A Teacher's Dream.......2005-11-30

I got this book as part of an adult education course I was teaching at a community college and, after having studied Spanish for years, this is the best text I have seen... period. It has all the basics covered, and covered well. It is thorough and concise. It does not go into a lot of unnecessary material, but sticks to what is necessary to communicate well. It consistently reinforces previous lessons and packs a tremendous amount of learning and exercise into a small amount of homework. The examples chosen are easily digested and make teaching wonderful. My students gave rave reviews of the material and I cannot recommmend it highly enough. As will all language texts, it is the student's responsibility to pack in the vocabulary on their own, but the base grammar is all here and extremely well presented. I would take an old edition of this book over any other new texts available. These are the best.

An excellent place to begin.......2001-04-16

Basic Spanish Grammar is an excellent starting point for one who wants to begin learning the spanish language, or is in need of a refresher course. I recently enrolled in a conversational spanish course and this book was one of the two texts used in class.

All of the exercises contained within the book are written in a clear manner which makes them easy to understand. Basic concepts which I hadn't thought of in about 15 years since my last spanish class came back very quickly and I was able to expand upon my previous knowledge at a much quicker pace than I would have thought possible.

The vocabulary is introduced in a logical manner, with examples that show just how they would be used in everyday speech. The sections dealing with the gender of words, plural forms, and definite and indefinite articles is very helpful for one who hasn't been previously introduced to the concepts.
