Financial Accounting: A Bridge to Decision Making

Book Description

Now in its sixth edition, Ingram, Albright, FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING: A BRIDGE TO DECISION MAKING continues to teach students to understand the impact of accounting information on a company's financial statements. The authors illustrate accounting not as a set of technical procedures, but as a way of identifying and understanding business problems and a means for evaluating alternative solutions. By organizing the text around the flow of information through a business, the authors provide students with a sound understanding of the accounting information system and then an analysis of the financial, investing and operating activities of the firm. This approach is especially ideal for students who will become business managers, not accountants.

First Impressions - not too good.......2006-02-05

There are a lot of typos and errors in this book. It is like the editor didn't even do any editing. Not only did they incorrectly publish their web address -- there are multiple problems that are incorrect. So many, in fact, they have a section on their website dedicated to corrections -- but some very blatent ones I found aren't even there.

The worst one yet is in chapter three. The ledger for closing entries in the solutions (pg F104) for self-study problem #3 (page F102) is different from the ledger of closing entries in Exhibit 11 on page F97.

For the self study problem, it should debit/decrease Sales Revenue and increase/credit Retained earnings. The solution on page F104 for the self study problem shows debiting/decreasing Retained earnings and increasing/crediting Sales Revenue.

The complete opposite of a closing entry. The book is full of errors like these.

And the crazy page numbering should be another concern.

Not an impressive book. Confusing for students. If your professor is asking you get it -- beg him to get ANYTHING ELSE.

Oh and the website 'student resources' section is pathetic. Solutions on the web don't match questions in the book. Sample quizes are poorly written and difficult to understand, also.

Dated but Realistic.......2005-04-06

This solid look at Mayor Richard J. Daley (1902-1976) of Chicago is critical, informative, and realistic. Author Len O'Connor (1912-1991) was a local reporter who covered the local political scene for nearly four decades. Here he begins by covering Daley's youth and steady rise to the top, then his long tenure as mayor (1955-1976) and political leader. O'Connor finds fault with Daley and the corrupt Chicago political machine, yet also acknowledges the man's achievements. This book is often critical of Daley, but it never drops down to a hatchet job. Overall it's a rather realistic look at the politics of the nation's second city.

This book came out shortly before Daley's years in office ended with his passing in late 1976. Readers should also consider BOSS by Mike Royko, a more harshly critical but engaging look at the mayor.

reflects the reality.......1999-05-23

It is a good book. I wish I have read the book six years earlier (before I enrolled in a PhD program). This book confirms everything I have observed in this field. It should be a required reading for everyone who is thinking about to pursue a career in science.

Book Description

Environmental and climate change is affecting forests and land use in numerous ways, including increasing the risk of geomorphic hazards. Such hazards include surface erosion, desertification and related land degradation. Yet it is often difficult to distinguish between the influences of climate change from those of changing forest land use, on geomorphic hazards. This volume reviews current knowledge on these issues and features include: Hydrologic impacts, including flooding and soil erosion; desertification in Mediterranean Europe and Africa; landslides; Mangrove forests and hazards along shorelines; examples from all five continents.

Book Description

This book pays tribute to two pioneers in the field of Mathematical physics, Jiri Patera and Pavel Winternitz of the CRM. Each has contributed more than forty years to the subject of mathematical physics, particularly to the study of algebraic methods.

A Life Experience.......2004-12-18

Stevie, a young, black girl living in Chicago experiences new changes in life to discover her sexual identity. The book is beautifully written and should have been a bestseller.

Fantastic Novel!.......2004-10-07

I just happened to stumble upon this novel this morning in the libaray at my school and I can't put it down! April Sinclair is a poignant, powerful, hilarious writer. I can't wait to read more of her work and I'm sorry I didn't stumble upon her sooner. READ THIS BOOK,YA'LL!

DAMN!.......2004-04-06

Sadly enough, two weeks ago I had to toss out my AUTOGRAPHED, 1ST EDITION COPIES of "Coffee will Make You Black" and "Ain't gonna be..." because while i was packing things up to move someone spilled BEER on them! Even after drying them out, they stunk to high heaven. Not only am I upset that I had to throw them out, now I can't read them until I get new copies. Oh well. These books are worth it.

Why this story about Stevie hasn't been made into a movie yet is BEYOND me.

It isn't scolding.......2003-09-01

I read this book so many years ago, and mainly because it was causing such a controversy at a school I just had to know what was "so bad" about this book.

It's a coming of age story where you meet young Stevie, a L7 (square) whose learning all about life and what it has to offer as far as what is a friend? a period? and the big deal about sex?

I think April Sinclair did an excellent job, we need books because sometimes mama can't talk to you because she's too afraid! I was tempted to call the school up and ask why the big fuss?

A Great Coming-Of-Age Book.......2003-08-15

I could not put this book down for a second. A. Sinclair explores the life of Jean Stevenson (Stevie) growing up in Chicago during the 1960's. During her teenage life, she goes through struggling for an understanding of herself as a woman, standing up for what she believes in when it comes to her mother, and her unsureness of her sexuality. A great coming-of-age book that relates to the issues that teenage girls deal with, especially when it comes to sex.

Book Description

“I may be a supersoldier but I sure as hell ain’t no Superwoman. Yes, it’s true my hand is steady, I have the eye of a marksman, and I can hit a moving target dead center at four hundred meters, but when it comes to making clever love decisions, I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer. While I look pretty lofty in my spit-shined combat boots and razor-sharp battle dress uniform, like a lot of young sisters from the ’hood, I’ve taken a few wrong turns down the back alleys of life.”

Meet Sergeant Sanderella Coffee, who has just completed a three-year overseas tour and is now reporting to a military installation in Virginia. She is a single mother whose goal is to attend the Army’s prestigious Officer Candidate School, which will guarantee a better life for her and her children.

Sandie meets a man who matches her ambition and determination step for step in the form of Drill Sergeant Romulus Caesar, who literally marches into her life and turns it upside down. They fall in love, and Rom is everything Sandie could want—supportive, confident, self-reliant—but he’s also married. Because of the military’s tough policy on fraternization and adultery, Sandie could find her carefully orchestrated career slipping away like sand in a breeze.

Black Coffee gives us a realistic and insightful intake of a Military relationship........2006-09-08

This is a second book that I've read that tells the story of the military woman of color, the first being "Knockin Boots" which was great. Tracy takes the reader to the front lines and allows the reader to experience sexism existed in the service and what African American women went through. Tracy also takes it a step further and allows realistic issues/family hardships to be the icing on the cake, if you will!!! How much more can Sanderella endure? I tell you what; I would not want to be in her boots that's for sure.

In her debut novel she introduced us to characters that we will cared about and keep us flipping the pages to see what would happen to Sanderella and Romulus, two soldiers ready to defy strict Army rules for their love. Romulus Caesar calls himself a "king", believes himself to be one down to the deep recesses of his mind and soul. Through a very believable male voice, we see Rom as a man with strong convictions, a man who loves his children so much he has sacrificed 10 years of his life to be with them, thus staying in a loveless marriage for the sake of maintaining his position as the No. 1 domino (an analogy I found to be right on point). While Sanderella Coffee is sassy, funny, a good mother, and an excelling soldier, we are able to see her as she really is all that and two bags of chips! A woman with an ability to admit her past love mistakes, trying with all her might not to make another one. She stumbles, ponders, falls, then brushes herself off and keeps on keeping on!

Tracy captures the essence of being in a "real" relationship, with all the questions, the sensuality and the wonder of getting to know someone of the opposite sex. She shows us both sides of the puzzle, not just the woman's, and that's great. In my opinion, Tracy shows us what goes wrong in relationships, namely, that communication breaks down. The man never says what is really going on in his mind, gets angry, says horribly mean things he doesn't really feel, he begins to drink, and eventually shuts his woman out. While the woman expects him to know and realize how she is feeling, what she has been going through and she expects him to understand without ever revealing herself to him! A real relationship killer -- lack of communication.

Tracy Price-Thompson is an extremely talented author. Not only does she possess the ability to guide the reader into the emotions and turmoil's of the female heart, she captures and penetrates the inner thought of the male mind. What a rare and wonderful gift she has presented to the literary world. Tracy throws us a loop toward the end, but oh how satisfying the ending is! "Black Coffee" truly is smooth that requires neither sugar nor cream.

"This Book Is Great".......2006-02-24

I just finished this book and it was great. I just love Ms. Price-Thompson's way of telling a story. Her way with words is simply hilarious.

Soliders, Rules, & Regulations.......2005-11-08

Tracy Price Thompson brings the literary world aside of the United States Army that not everyone is use to seeing its the side when love takes over and soldiers get sloppy not only do they get sloppy but they put their careers at risk.

Rom Caesar sees himself as the perfect solider even as a Drill Sgt he has done everything possible to remain King of his house but what will it take for him to gain some happiness. As the father of two he makes good on his promise and takes care of them and help provides for his wife the wife who has driven him away but when he meets Sgt. Coffee he falls heads over feet in love with him but can he make his life work to his advantage so that he can get Sandie Coffee into his life.

Sandie and Rom finds their selves in a world wild situation that leads to the endangerment of losing their jobs and landing in the military jail but will their lives change forever with a mistake is made and the ripple effect takes place. Take the journey with Sandie and Rom as they attempt to piece together their lives and make it all work.

Black Coffee in the Army.......2003-10-04

I thought the book was pretty good (although good is so generic). It did not make me want to finish it in a day which is a plus because I commute and I NEED something to read. I was able to get involved with the characters and even talk to them at some point. The author's vast knowledge of the military was important to give the reader a better understanding of just how it fit into the story. I would recommend it to the 35-50 audience.

Page Turner.......2003-09-19

Tracey does a very good job of telling this page turning love story. I was very pleased w/my purchase and will by her new book based on how much I enjoyed Black Coffee.
