This Book Was Extremely Helpful!.......2007-03-06

I bought this book back in September of 2005, before taking any parts of the exams. When I began studying, I felt like I was going nowhere. I felt the information in my CPA study material was too much. I studied for about two months before I went on-line and searched for how to pass the CPA exam. I stumbled across this book and thought it was very helpful. It gave techniques on how to study and gave me confidence whenever I went in to take the exam.

I believe that this book should be read in college before a candidate sits for the CPA. My college did not talk a whole lot about the CPA exam (only the basics) so I really wasn't sure how to go about studying. This book is a great investment and informed me of how to use my study time well.

Also, I am happy to say that I have passed the CPA exam. I passed AUD, FARS, and BEC on the first try and it took me three time to pass REG (which was partly my own fault).

Good Luck!

This book can be used as your mentor to help you successfully pass the CPA exam........2007-02-05

What a wonderful book. It seems to have been written for a junior or senior in college who is majoring in accounting. I'm sure it will be very helpful to people on their journey to successfully tackling the CPA exam and getting licensed as a CPA. I found the text to be very informative since I passed the exam back in 1984 (law and theory) and 1985 (practice and auditing) when it was administered a little differently. I must say, though, that the exam experience described in the book sounds like it is still pretty much the same deal I sat through 20+ years ago.

I found out I passed the practice and auditing sections of the exam just two weeks before starting my first law school education. And when I completed law school three years later I sat for the New Jersey and Pennsylvania bar exams together. Taking those two exams was a joy ride compared to taking the CPA exam. And I passed both on the first try with minimal study.

The author in this book doesn't say it, but the reason the pass rates for the CPA exam are so low compared to the pass rates of bar exams is that it's not all that difficult to qualify to sit for the CPA exam. One could be a high school dropout, sneak into community college, and then transfer into a 4-year college that will give them an accounting degree. And they can graduate from college with a C average and still be allowed to sign up for the CPA exam. Exam applicants like that are more likely than not to pull the pass rate down. It's tough to get into law school. The screening process in the accounting profession rests with the CPA exam. In the legal profession the screening process is in the law school admission system - not in the bar exam system.

I think a freshman in college will benefit from this book even more than a junior or senior. This book is not just about passing the CPA exam like the title suggests. It is really about getting the CPA license, and a college freshman that wants to be a CPA some day should be very interested in what he or she will have to do to get that license. This book will tell them.

I would have liked the book better if it had not tried to make the CPA license sound so impressive. Sure, I'm very proud that I passed the CPA exam, but being a CPA isn't anything special. The guys that make the money in the corporate world are the guys with a sales background or financial analysts that rise up through the mergers and acquisitions departments. CPAs rarely become CEOs. If they are lucky they might become a CFO. Furthermore, all the time and effort required to maintain a CPA license is not worth it. But if you major in accounting in college, then you owe it to yourself to at least put the icing on your college degree by passing the CPA exam. To not do so would be like going to law school, graduating, and not passing a bar exam. 5 stars!

I enjoy reading this book. This book arrived in excellent condition in a timely and orderly fashion.
I will use Amazon to order CD's and/or DVD's in the future.

Good resource, a little outdated.......2006-02-27

I am about 3 quarters through this book. I plan on sitting for my first section in July. The book was obviously written just as the computer based version began... The book eludes to some things that may have changed in 2005 with the exam. This book is not for someone who has already mapped out a plan for studying. Although some of it is redundant and obvious. I have found some information to be valuable. I think it was worth the price.

Don' read.......2006-01-30

This book is out dated. All the information contained within it, is based on the old paper exams and not the new computer version. If they revise the book I would strongly incourage it, but until then stay away.

Book Description

Recorded history is a finely-woven magic fabric of intricate lies about events predating the sixteenth century. There is not a single piece of evidence that can be reliably and independently traced back earlier than the eleventh century. This book details events that are substantiated by hard facts and logic, and validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient sources.

Calculations are only as good as your numbers.......2007-08-03

Yes, we can all agree that mainstream history is nearly 100% BS due to politics, economics, ego, problems with dating techniques, and various conspiracies. Agreed. But, I've been researching the distinct possibility that human history (in terms of civilizations) are much more ancient than we've been told, so coming across this book was very interesting to me. I wondered how Fomenko could be wrong (if at all) because he is very persuasive in his presentations. Then it dawned on me. If at previous times in prehistory, due to the various catastrophies that are well documented (comets, asteroids, planetary disruptions, plasma discharge, pole reversals, etc) the Earth was in a different position in relation to the sun, different tilt on its axis, different orbit, different rotation (in terms of velocity and DIRECTION), and the continents were in different positions, then would this not cause the ancients to see the sky (constellations) differently? In other words, is Fomenko making erronious assumptions about the physics of the Earth in pre-history, which then corrupt his data with regards to dating the relevant astrology? The last event to seriously disrupt our planet occured roughly 3500 years ago, according to other good researchers, so is it possible Fomenko has been confused by this? The vastly different physics of our planet in the not so distant past may explain this confusion, which is not to say the "mainstream" version of history is correct; on the contrary. I am not an expert in these fields, but wanted to see if this idea could spark discussion.

Pants on fire?.......2007-07-19

Will people ever read before spamming? Yes, Jesuits could not rewrite world history alone, they had help. Anyway, Dr Prof Acad A.Fomenko does not point to jesuits as the driving force of world wide history manipulation in published volumes 1,2,3;, actually he barely mentions the poor devils. Check it with 'Search inside' feature, please. China is rarely mentioned either, in fact, Dr Fomenko is completely eurocentric. Right, his theory contradicts all mainstream schools of history, because in their actual state they are all built on blatantly erroneus chronology. You don't need a mysterious cabal (conspiracy) to falsify history, the falsification is its modus operandi. It is inherent to history(ians) to falsify (distort) events, as it is inherent to humans to boast as it is inherent to power (authority) to legimize itself by referrring to glorious past made to its own order. Dr Prof Fomenko and team have identified scores of instances of such manipulation in Russian, European, etc.. history, and delivered valid statistical proof thereof. His own 'reconstruction' is completely another story. Forget c14 as a valid method of dating. W.Libby has initially discovered a brilliant method of INDEPENDENT dating. Too bad, c14 method has become a joke after a forced marrige with dendrochronology with consensual chronological scale inbuilt. Radiocarbon method can't stand blind tests, but is so very productive as a rubberstamp.

Accepted History & Chronology Must Be Changed. .......2007-04-09

There is no doubt that history as most know it is a sham, & institution's version of History both University & Church is fradulent & inaccurate. Everything was established with an agenda, The real "Dark Ages" are now when we have access to incredible amounts of information past authorities & more important 'common folk' didn't have but our institutions & educators are slow to evolve because of what has ignorantly & arrogantly been taught for too long. This is on many subjects not just Chronology.

For anyone to question "Why would a Mathematician have anything credible to say of History?" The answer is from Dr. Fomenko's preface in the book: "It would be worthwhile to remind the reader that in the XVI-XVII century Chronology was considered to be a subdivision of Mathematics." These volumes could possibly be some of the most important works to date & should be read by everyone with an interest in History, especially professors & educators who have a duty to the public. I have read both books & must say that 'Chronology 1' has some very eye opening & revolutionary information. Even if these volumes are part true the implications are profound & opens the doors to further investigations & questions which must be done. I speak several different lanquages & must say the logic Dr. Fomenko uses with "inflection" of words & words being read from left to right in one region & right to left in another then written backwards, the removal of vowels & get down to basics of words, or different cities & locations having the same name etc. is correct. Vowel usage has always been optional & varied, actually complicating linquistics & study. The first thing one has to understand is that words never had a fixed spelling in history like we do now, the spelling of words was mutable & regional, as well as names & titles of people were vast, varied & changed, NOTHING WAS FIXED or understood linear. Matters of Life & Death as well as financial profiteering yesterday & today were & are made with ignorant, illogical & conspiratorial views of history & reality, it's time people get closer to the Truth & society collectively grow up.

Very Interesting.......2007-03-07

It is a good proposal and I believe it will mature into something even better in the future. I think it deserves to be read.

History as Science Fiction.......2007-01-10

Anatoly Fomenko has written a very intriguing book, full of pictures, charts, and computer 'proof' of his thesis: backwards of AD900 we don't really know what happened or when. Between AD900 and AD1600 there is more certainty, but there is still a lot of fuzzy ground, and things don't get reliable until we get past the 1600's where the printing press made it very difficult for the perpetrators of this timeline manipulation to change anything that had been committed to print. The Dark Ages did not happen. Books were burned for a reason. One organization has doubled the actual length of its existence by expanding the real chronology. Read why.

I had always wondered why Christ died about AD33 and yet men waited until the 11th century to form the Knights Templar, the Cathars, etc and go after the Holy Land by force. Why the 1000 year gap? Turns out there wasn't more than a 10-12 year gap and he proves it using astronomy. This also implies that the planet is not as old as we have been told, and current Christian and other creationist scientists are already championing that idea without being aware of Fomenko's book. The two groups, creationist scientists and the Russian mathematical analysts corroborate each other. Fascinating.

Of course, all this flies in the face of what we have been told traditionally is the 'proper' chronology of western civilization, and most readers will experience 'cognitive dissonance' in reading this book. It means that our history going backwards from AD1600 becomes progressively more incorrect and unreliable until it cannot be trusted at all... in the space of 700-800 years.

Naturally, the curious, open-minded reader will want to know WHO did this, WHY, and did any of the events we think of as really ancient ever happen?
Dr. Fomenko is a respected scientist/mathematician at Moscow State University who has already answered these questions to the satisfaction of his initially skeptical colleagues. Most of them are now believers, a few still refuse to believe (the usual diehards), and of course the western press has ignored Fomenko's work -- for obvious reasons when you read the book. The ones who perpetrated this chronology ruse have a lot to answer for. They are still with us. That's why this book is a well-kept secret.

I gave the book a 4-star rating because I was unable to check out some of his claims; those I checked were as he said. But if even 1/3 of his claims are true, this punches a big hole in what we think is our history, the meaning of western civilization, our educational process (for repeating the ruse as gospel), and the trustworthiness of the organization that perpetrated this ruse, well-intentioned or not.

This book relates to current research into a Young Earth paradigm, to John Keel's discoveries about our planet, and Fr Malachi Martin's insights (in his now out-of-print books). We are indeed sheep who are manipulated and kept ignorant -- for a reason. While knowing what these men have to say may be the "booby prize" (as in: 'what can you do with this knowledge?'), it will provide interesting reading. Didn't someone say: "...and the Truth will set you free."?? For you to judge if this book contains the truth.

Book Description

This COSPAR Colloquium Series deals with the main achievements that were accomplished through the collaborative efforts among ISTP participants; the plasma dynamics of magnetic reconnection in a thin plasma sheet, the action of the solar wind on the plasma population in the plasma sheet and around the magnetotail boundary layer, the relationship between the substrom expansion region and the X-line formation in the magnetotail, and the temporal evolution of the dipolarization from from the near-Earth to the distant tail.

Book Description

In the enchanted city of Turai, the royal family is corrupt, the politicians can be bought, and the civic guards have better things to do than guarding. Thraxas may look unprepossessing, being overweight and not quite overbrained, and more interested in pursuit of his next glass of beer than pursuit of justice, but if you're in trouble in Turai this portly private eye is probably your only hope. Winter's on its way to Turai, and so are an army of Orcs. Thraxas may have been a hero of the last Orc War (according to him) but he's got absolutely no intention of getting mixed up in this battle and is planning to keep his head well down-preferably buried in a big steak pie. Unfortunately, his next case has him in an investigation at the war ministry. A Senior Councilor has been murdered. With a cake . . .

Customer Reviews:

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

Still highly amusing. Thraxas just cannot get the hordes of females out of his office, for any reason. Even worse, they drink his grog. Does get the odd favor out of them, but the problems are probably worse. Have to agree with him about the flowers, too. A private investigator's life is tough enough, without hordes of harridans hanging around haranguing him harshly.

Once a hero, always at war..........2006-04-20

Scott's THRAXAS AT WAR joins others in the series to also blend fantasy with humor and a tough of PI irony. Here the seedy, broke Thraxas faces a city in trouble whn the Orcs attack under a new leader's rule. He was a hero in the last war but he wants no part of this one - until his investigation at the war ministry involves him anyway.
