A Nice Roadmap.......2006-07-09

I have been working with this Wiley Gaap series by years, it is really easy to understand and gives to you a comprehensive backround to understand most of the common topics.

As an opportunity to improve, would be great if this book in a future, include a practical chapter with examples an study cases of the common practices as tips and falls.

a great complement to this book are the Intermediate Accounting (Kyeso) & Advanced Accounting (Baker)

From a student's perspective..........2006-04-21

This is a useful companion to any intermediate accounting text. It explains topics in plain English and in fewer words than most textbooks do. The best part about this guide is its detailed index that has come through in the clutch a few times during open-book exams and the cases that we prepare on a regular basis.

I recommend this book to finance-focused MBA students and anyone who has a job that involves interpreting financial statements or FASB documents.

Wiley GAAP 2006 : Interpretation and Application of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Wiley Gaap).......2006-03-15

Excellent for CPA's

Great Book!.......2005-08-02

GAAP is very hard to understand if it is not in laymen's terms. This book is great at "translating" the prounouncements. I definitely recommend it.

Great GAAP Resource.......2004-12-04

As a frequent reader of accounting literature in my daily activities, I have used the Wiley GAAP Guide for several years. The authors have converted complex accounting issues into well written and easy to understand language. It's a valuable resource.

A look ahead to the status of current and future Governmental Accounting Standards Board standards and projects provides information on the very latest in standard-setting activities and covers:

GASB Statement 43 Financial Reporting for Postemployment Benefit Plans Other Than Pension Plans, which together with Statement No. 45 will radically change the accounting for OPEBs by employers and OPEB plans
GASB Statement 44 Economic Condition Reporting: The Statistical Section, which updates the comprehensive annual financial report requirements for the statistical section
GASB Statement 45 Accounting and Financial Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pensions, which will have a major impact on the financial statements of many governmental employers and will require significant implementation planning

Exposure Draft Net Assets Restricted by Enabling Legislation—an amendment of GASB Statements No. 34 and No. 44, which addresses the circumstances in which a government's own legislation can restrict the use of its own resources
Exposure Draft on a Concepts Statement, Communication Methods, which will help the GASB determine where new accounting/disclosure requirements will be presented—basic financial statements, notes, and required supplementary information
Proposed Technical Bulletin, Recognition of Pension and Other Postemployment Benefit Expenditures/Expenses and Liabilities,which can have an impact on accounting for pension contributions on the modified accrual basis of accounting

Wiley Not-for-Profit GAAP annual is a comprehensive accounting and financial reporting guide for use by not-for-profit organizations and their auditors in preparing financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) defines nonprofit organizations as entities that possess the following characteristics not typically found in business enterprises: 1)They receive contributions of significant resources from resource providers who do not expect a commensurate or proportionate monetary return.2)They operate for purposes other than to make a profit and 3) There is an absence of ownership interests like those of business enterprises .

This is a ARMY RESEARCH LAB ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A913383. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) has been used to invesflgate me intermolecular potential energy surface (PES) of CH3CN-C02. A SAPT computation was performed for approximately 200 geometrical configurations using both a coarse grid in the five intermolecular coordinates as well as selected representative cuts. Four near-local minima are located on the PES. The deepest of these is -2.90 kcal/mol.

Book Description

Scheck’s Quantum Physics presents a comprehensive introductory treatment, ideally suited for a two-semester course. Part One covers the basic principles and prime applications of quantum mechanics, from the uncertainty relations to many-body systems. Part Two introduces to relativistic quantum field theory and ranges from symmetries in quantum physics to electroweak interactions. Numerous worked-out examples as well as exercises, with solutions or hints, enables the book’s use as an accompanying text for courses, and also for independent study. For both parts, the necessary mathematical framework is treated in adequate form and detail. The book ends with appendices covering mathematical fundamentals and enrichment topics, plus selected biographical notes on pioneers of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.

Book Description

This book deals with the theory of Poincaré--Birkhoff normal forms, studying symmetric systems in particular. Attention is focused on general Lie point symmetries, and not just on symmetries acting linearly. Some results on the simultaneous normalization of a vector field describing a dynamical system and vector fields describing its symmetry are presented and a perturbative approach is also used. Attention is given to the problem of convergence of the normalizing transformation in the presence of symmetry, with some other extensions of the theory. The results are discussed for the general case of dynamical systems and also for the specific Hamiltonian setting.

Book Description

The Problem Book in Quantum Field Theory contains about 200 problems with solutions or hints that help students to improve their understanding and develop skills necessary for pursuing the subject. It deals with the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations, classical field theory, canonical quantization of scalar, Dirac and electromagnetic fields, the processes in the lowest order of perturbation theory, renormalization and regularization. The solutions are presented in a systematic and complete manner. The material covered and the level of exposition make the book appropriate for graduate and undergraduate students in physics, as well as for teachers and researchers.

Brings Me Back..........2007-08-29

I had the good fortune to get a signed copy of this book from the author back in '99. I live in the northeast now, and all I have to do is read a few snippets and I'm back on the coast again, soaking it all in. Thanks, B.J., for the memories your tales can conjure.

Humorous and Familiar; Great Summer Read.......2007-06-07

This is a fanscinating collection of adventure tales from a guy that we all know. He's the average American joe who's a bit fed up with "a world gone awry" and in his own way, shares a part of him with the rest of us. I laughed and laughed, mostly with him, but some times at him. I'm sure he'll forgive me. Gotta love the Teller!

This Book rocks.......1999-05-09

This is the best book and eveyone needs to read it

~ CjTeller

Funniest book I've ever read!.......1998-07-05

B.J. Teller is a cross between Hunter Thompson, Kurt Vonnegut, and Mark Twain! He can make you laugh out loud, cry, and say "why didn't I think of that?" all in the same story. And I know his real name!

It's almost scary how descriptive he is.......1998-06-29

BJ Teller is at his comedic best when he writes of his zany family and their exploits on the Gulf Coast. Even if you're not from the area, you can feel the sluggish breeze as you sit on the pier at Perdido Point, and fish the afternoon away with his characters.
