Get the new edition, not the 9th edition.......2002-09-18

I am the co-author of this book. the 10th edition is now out. If you are a student, you'll want that. If you're trying to learn on your own, you'll find this 9th edition adequate and much cheaper. good luck. roman

Great for graduate study.......2002-08-22

Many people get this book wrong. This is a book for graduate students, not for undergraduates. It introduces the concepts of financial accounting in a condensed way, which does require more time and patient to understand it, like the way we study in MBA program. Since this book assumes its reader as future statement readers, it introduces finanical statements, including balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement,in the first few chapters to let student understand the linkage among them. It is usually very difficult to understand for those without background, though. Plus, given the fact that this book is required by most of top MBA programs, like Chicago, Columbia, and NYU, I'd like to say that accounting professors have told us the quality of this book. For those who have a hard time on this, I would also recommend its accompanied study guide and solution manuals (used one available on amazon website ISBN 0030269695& ASIN: 0030182697; make sure get the right edition!!). After all, this is a good book, but requires more practices. Good luck.

A Good Introductory Text.......2001-12-30

I'd never had any accounting courses before. This textbook was required for my financial accounting course in an MBA program. The book does a good job of logically explaining all the important topics. Unfortunately, it takes a Herculean effort to sit down and study the material due to the dry subject matter.

The authors did a good job of using examples from real firms, which, I think, makes it more interesting. I've decided to keep this book after the course for a reference.

Accounting for dummies (ahem, I mean Lawyers).......2001-10-16

I am a 2nd year law student in the top 10% of my class at a first tier law school (meaning, I'm capable of reading and comprehending dense material). I took an accounting class thinking it would be helpful knowledge in the practice of law. My professor - fantastic. This text book - awful. The only reason I was able to (hopefully) get a good grade (the exam was last week) was that the professor was so good at explaining the concepts he felt were important. The book was confusing and overly verbose (coming from a wordsmith & soon to be lawyer, that statement should be given much weight!!) There were many exercises, but truth be told it was the professor's explanations that allowed me to do the exercises, NOT the book's.

You're going to get confuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-06-15

Firstly,I really want to rate this book zero star or minus star.I've bought this book because I used it in my MBA course .This book made me hate Accounting too.I strongly agree with rewiewer " this book made me hate accounting" .After I've read this book for many times I found it very wordy I can summarise the concept in one line whereas the books try to explain too much (2-3 pages)and also irrelavant.Eventhough the authur uses a lot of explanations, but can not be understood.IT is very vital to you to keep your money for the movie, put in the bank ,or doing whatever except buying this book.Anyway this book has a lot of exercises( Not so extremely bad)

A Very useful book.......2007-08-24

If you are a student who have studied international law, especially international economic law, this book could give you a way where to find material sources.

QUITE USEFUL MATERIAL.......2000-06-11

This book is a collection of theses of Jackson who is the scholar who cannot be ignored before studying GATT/WTO. These theses were selected, and important in studying GATT/WTO. Before writing a thesis related to them, this book is very useful material for the researcher.

Book Description

Offering a modern approach to this most classical of subjects, Physics of Continuous Matter is first and foremost an introduction to the basic concepts and phenomenology of continuous systems, and the derivations of the equations of continuum mechanics from Newtonian mechanics. Although many examples, particularly in the earlier chapters, are taken from geophysics and astrophysics, the author places the emphasis frimly on generic methods and applications. Each chapter begins with a 'soft' introduction, placing the discussion within an everyday context, and the level of difficulty then rises steadily, a pattern which is reflected throughout the text as a whole. The necessary mathematical tools are developed in parallel with the physics on a 'need-to-know' basis, an approach that avoids lengthy mathematical preliminaries.

Tour de force and a generic approach.......2005-12-22

"Continuum physics describes the physical world on a macroscopic scale". With this quote at hand the author gives the reader a 600-page tour de force through the underlying principles of continuum physics and it application in geophysics, astrophysics, engineering, biophysics, and nonlinear sciences such as rheology. Subjects taught in engineering classes but rarely make their way to physics classes and vice versa are joined. The book is divided into five chapters on Basic Concepts on Physics (Introduction), Fluids at Rest, Deformable Solids, Basic Hydrodynamics and a section of Special Topics. Within those chapter common knowledge is presented in a straightforward manner but also various side aspects will surprise the reader. For example, the author discusses the "urban myth" of bathtub vortex', Big Bang and Newton cosmology, and lubrication. The beauty of this approach is that subjects, who belong together or are link to each other, are presented in one generic approach. The condensed presentation of the individual subjects, the introduction of the governing equations as well as numerous figures keep the vast amount of knowledge digestible and accessible. Actually the fact that a lot of equations I normally look up in different textbook, and eventually not finding them, are summarized here qualifies the book as reference. Readers should have a background in continuum mechanics and/or engineering to access the material properly. For basic classes in continuum mechanic the book is suitable as well. The Chapters include sections on continuous matter, space and time, gravity (Introduction), pressure, buoyancy, planet and stars, hydrostatic shapes, surface tension (Fluids at Rest), stress, strain, linear elasticity, solids at rest, computational elastostatics, elastic vibrations (Deformable Solids), fluids in motion, nearly ideal flow, viscosity, plates and pipes, creeping flow, rotating fluids, CFD (Basic Hydrodynamics), global laws of balance, reaction forces and moments, small-amplitude surface waves, jumps and shocks, whirls and vortices, lubrication, boundary layers, subsonic flight, heat, convection and turbulence (Special Topics). A huge collection of related book reviews is online at Applied Rheology - international journal.

Exotic and Everyday Phenomena in the Macroscopic.......2005-04-07

Physics of Continuous Matter: Exotic and Everyday
Phenomena in the Macroscopic World by Benny Lautrup
(610 pages, Institute of Physics Publishing, Bristol
and Philadelphia) is a modern, rigorous and
unusually comprehensive introduction into the physics
of continua. The book is structured into 32 chapters,
divided into five parts (i.e., Introduction, Fluids at
rest, Deformable solids, Basic hydrodynamics and
Special topics), addressing both the prevalent
university syllabus and more exotic topics such as
gravity waves, dynamics of vortices, self-similar
boundary layers, subsonic flights, etc. Furthermore,
the book has three appendices dedicated to Newtonian
particle mechanics, curvilinear coordinates and
thermodynamics of ideal gases, and additional material
can be found on the book's home-page at
http://www.nbi.dk/~lautrup/continuum/. All the above
along with an extensive index and an annotated
bibliography make the book an invaluable tool for both
graduate and under-graduate students.

A common misconception of most physics students is
that physics of continuous matter is a very
mathematical subject. Lautrup's book, however, gives
an excellent account of all major topics on the
subject starting only from the most elementary
mathematics and introducing the rest on a need-to-know
basis. Most chapters have a light commencement which
appeals to our everyday experience with the
macroscopic world, and then slowly introduce the key
physical concepts. Short historical notes, sketchy
micro-biographies of great scientists, marvelous
graphical side-notes along with a few tables of
constants make the text a gratifying reading. All
chapters end with a few problems some of which are
theoretical side-issues of the main text. Among the
many qualities of this book there are five that
deserve special attention. First, equations are dealt
with in a very scholastic manner, the most important
ones being placed in a box. Second, the author took
great care in marking the sections and the problems
which either fall slightly outside the main line of
the text or they require more advanced mathematics.
Third, there are quite a number of footnotes which
give valuable up-to-date references to many of the
subjects dealt with in the main text. This particular
feature makes it perfect for readers just starting
their graduate studies who desire also a glimpse at
the current research. Fourth, and rather rare for
textbooks on this subject, the book gives a balanced
view on mechanics of continua by accompanying
well-known analytical methods with various numerical
techniques. For this reason two chapters have been
dedicated to computational aspects of elastostatics
and fluid dynamics and a number of Mathematica codes
are freely available on the book's home-page. Fifth,
and foremost important, the chapters can be used to
some extent independent of one another and, of course,
this was done with the cost of some repetitions.
However, when reading the book in full these
repetitions come as a welcomed and sometimes necessary
refresher on previously discussed subjects, only to
underline its scholastic nature.

At first glance the book stems out of a set of
lectures delivered by the author for a number of years
at Copenhagen University, Denmark. More intimately
however, this almost encyclopedic book is due to the
author's joy of doing physics, no matter its flavor. A
high energy physicist by training Benny Lautrup has
written a magnificent book on one of the oldest
subjects in science, a book that I wholeheartedly
recommend to any student with a keen interest in
physics. This is a book written by an impassioned
physicist for impassioned scholars.
