          5 out of 5 stars Intermediate Accounting, 10th Edition.......2005-09-24

          This book is designed in a simple and understandable way. The author has included so many practical case studies in this book. Important topics and Accounting Terms have been presented so effectively and the whole presentation is excellent.

          3 out of 5 stars Not a good fanatic of it.......2003-08-10

          The chapters are ok.I had to carry this book almost everyday to class!; its so big and heavy. And I also didn't like the examples and excersises of it because you can't barely understand them.

          5 out of 5 stars Intermediate Accounting by Kieso and Weygandt.......2003-07-19

          This text was utilized by me in graduate school and in studying
          for and passing the Uniform CPA Examination. The work has
          a thorough coverage of theory and practice. It is geared for
          accounting majors or more advanced business students.
          Few texts provide the "bold-font" presentation of an accounting
          term followed by the accompanying definition. The problem sets
          are challenging. The text will help you to study for the CPA
          examination because the presentation contains many problem
          sets geared to prepare students for rigorous examinations.
          The text is well worth the price .

          4 out of 5 stars USC Accounting School.......2003-01-06

          I'm at the Leventhal school of accounting. This is the book we use in our intermediate accounting class. I found the Problem Solving survival guides that came with the book to be invaluable. This is an awesome accounting text.

          5 out of 5 stars There is no other like it.......2002-10-21

          When it comes to Intermediate Accounting, this book provides a better framework than any other period. I used the 9th edition while in College, and have re-ordered the 10th edition for the CPA exam. Quite frankly, not even the great Becker Convisor is as good as this book. Maybe I find it better than others because this is what I had used while taking intermidiate accounting. I have looked at other textbooks, and they could not match Mr. Keiso's textbook in organization nor could they match it in ability to explain complex issues in an easy to understand manner. This book should be in any employee's office who must deal with accounting issues and needs guidance occasinaly. I must warn you, this edition is outdated as there have been many changes since the Sarbanes-Oxley act was passed by congress. So, you may want to wait until the 11th edition comes out, as that will master all of the changes that have occured in the industry since ENRON and WORLDCOM's collapse.
          If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by the entire subject, this book will organize it into compartments and allow you to understand not only the entire framework, but the details as well.

                    Book Description

                    Equality in law between men and women in the European Community is an integral part of the EC's social policy and crucial to its economic and social cohesion. This 15-Volume Encyclopedia analyses the legal framework for equal opportunities which now exists in the Community due to the adoption of EC Directives on equal treatment, equal pay and social security, and to the work of the European Court of Justice in this area. It looks at how the EC Directives have been implemented and interpreted in each Member State, and at the other legislative and constitutional provisions affecting the principle of equality. All the principal legal provisions are reproduced or translated. Extracts from or digests of national case law are also included. Each volume is structured so that Member States's provisions on equality can be directly compared. The editors of this Encyclopedia are Michel Verwilghen, Professeur ordinaire a la Faculte de Droit, Universite catholique de Louvain, and Ferdinand von Prondzynski, Professor of Law and Dean of the Law School, University of Hull. A French version of this text has been published through Les Editions juridiques Bruylant, Brussels.

                              Book Description

                              The field of photonic band gap (PGB) materials, also called photonic crystals, is one of the most exciting new areas in physics and engineering. The materials play a unique role in controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and innovative ways to manipulate such waves can have a profound influence on science and technology. The present book provides an excellent survey of the field of photonic crystals, random lasers and light localization, covering theoretical and experimental aspects as well as applications. The introductory lectures are accessible to non-specialists.
                              New fabrication techniques and structures are presented with either dielectric or metallic components. Microwave, far-IR and optical applications are discussed (filters, mirrors, switches, waveguides, bends, splitters, antennas, etc.).

                                  Specialists in the technical components of a synchrotron light source are usually well versed in their field and in the associated technical literature. However, with the rapid and continuing growth of synchrotron radiation research, and with new facilities coming online and being authorized for design and construction around the world, there is a need for a reference book that describes the various technical components of a synchrotron light source in a manner that will be useful to those who lack specialized technical background, but who have responsibility for some part of the design, construction, operation or development of such a facility. This would include technicians, engineers and physicists who have technical background in related fields but no specific experience with a synchrotron light source, and also project managers, laboratory directors, and government officials involved with synchrotron light facilities. College level scientific or engineering training or the equivalent experience is assumed and appropriate mathematics is used throughout. However, the basic concepts in each chapter are given in less technical language and a glossary of terms as well as an index will make the book useful for those with less technical training or experience.

                                  For nearly thirty years, America's favorite humorist, Erma Bombeck, has given us her take on the behavioral patterns of her favorite animal species --us. Much in the same way that Jane Goodall devoted her life to living with and recording the behavioral patterns of the wild mountain chimps of Gombi, so Bombeck has recorded our mating habits, maternal instincts, reproductive cycles, how we handle trends and technology, what makes us laugh, and what makes us cry. In her inimitably warm and witty style, Bombeck has discovered that the odd habits of the animal kingdom are strikingly similar to our own, and she reports her downright hilarious findings in All I Know About Animal Behavior I Learned in Loehmann's Dressing Room.

                                  Bombeck shows how close animals in the wild and humans really are, and how much we can learn from one another. The hippopotamus is a vegetarian and looks like a wall. Lions who eat only red meat are sleek and slim. Are nutritionists on the wrong track? From the garter snake transvestite, to the barn swallow who can't make a commitment, to the lion who mates eighty-six times a day, Bombeck reveals that we're not all that far removed from the animal world. An African monkey who picked the lock on every cage he'd ever been in got twenty minutes on a National Geographic special. Bombeck had a cousin with the same skill; he got two years.

                                  Bombeck proves that a behaviorist need not wear a safari jacket and live in a tent in order to be an expert on every facet of a species' behavior. From the aerobics classroom -- where humans defend their territory to the death by spraying their mates with their own personal perfume -- to our migratory patterns -- where, like a certain species of butterfly, we fly to Miami in hordes the minute the temperature dips below sixty, Bombeck demonstrates in her quintessential style that while animals may have more fun, longer tails, and better sex lives, the gap that separates us from the animal kingdom is closing...fast.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Some funny pieces, though not all hit the mark.......2007-07-30

                                  Heard the taped version of Erma Bombeck's ALL I KNOW ABOUT
                                  ANIMAL BEHAVIOR I LEARNED IN LOEHMANNMN'S DRESSING
                                  ROOM . . . this is a collection of 38 pieces where she compares and
                                  contrasts animal behavior with that of the human species.

                                  Not everything hit the mark, but those that did had me laughing quite
                                  a bit . . . for example, when she compares the show-off behavior
                                  of gorillas to the attention-getting ploys of Madonna, Howard Stern,
                                  Roseanne, and other "professional exhibitionists, I kept thinking to myself
                                  that there are indeed amazing parallels.

                                  I also liked her observation about the fact that the female elephant
                                  calf carries here calf for 660 days before giving birth and continues
                                  breeding until she is 90 days old . . . however, Bombeck says not
                                  to feel too sorry for the elephant; after all, her height enables her
                                  to carry the extra weight quite well.

                                  And then she tells the story of four dolphins who got lost and
                                  were trapped in a New Jersey river. Of course, she contends, they
                                  had to be men . . . which leads to the author's advice on ending
                                  all wars: "Let men give directions on how to get there."

                                  Bombeck, who died in 1996, was always one of my favorite
                                  humorists . . . this book will help remind you just how funny she
                                  was . . . narration by Barbara Rosenblatt was fine; however, I would
                                  have preferred hearing the author herself.

                                  4 out of 5 stars Maybe the animals have us beat?.......2002-07-06

                                  Of all the animals, man is only one that blushes -- or who needs
                                  to. He is also the only one that laughs, or at least that's what
                                  the naturalists claim. Perhaps it is because we humans are the
                                  funniest of the animals, and who better to point that out than
                                  the late Erma Bombeck?

                                  In "All I Know About Human Behavior I Learned in Loehman's
                                  Dressing Room", Bombeck shares some of the observations made by
                                  the naturalists and then shows how humans are alike. The female
                                  elephant, for example, carries her calf for 660 days before
                                  giving birth and continues breeding until she is ninety years
                                  old. But Bombeck doesn't feel too sorry for the elephant; after
                                  all with her height she carries the extra weight quite well!

                                  In the old days pregnancy was a real event in a woman's life; she
                                  was told to give up exercise and could eat whatever she wanted.
                                  Today, however, she has to exercise more than ever and everyone
                                  is watching what she eats. Birth is so ordinary that a female

                                  jockey delivered only a few hours after her third race. Surrogate
                                  mothers made the old joke "Are you pregnant? No, I'm carrying it
                                  for a friend" reality, and frozen embryos are part of the divorce
                                  settlement!

                                  Another notice tells of four dolphins who got lost and were
                                  trapped in a New Jersey river. Of course we all know they had to
                                  be men. Bombeck knows how to end all wars: "Let men give
                                  directions on how to get there." Why don't men ask for
                                  directions? It would compromise their masculinity.

                                  Of course animals are involved in many laboratory experiments.
                                  After wondering who got their permission, Bombeck continues: "I
                                  have never been in a laboratory where mice are involved in
                                  research. So when someone tells me they are being used to test
                                  the effects of cigarette smoke and alcohol and the consequences
                                  of too much sun, I have to believe there's a group of mice
                                  sitting around the pool, smoking and drinking Mai Tais and
                                  working on a tan."

                                  When she thinks of animal speed, she thinks of the IRS cashing
                                  your check (the fastest animal on earth) and giving a refund (the
                                  snail is faster). When she reads about the devices that are used
                                  to track animals in the wild, she remembers the various
                                  electronic devices we have to stay in touch. What should you
                                  record on that answering machine? "We're not home right now?"
                                  That's obvious. "We'll return your call?" What if it is a
                                  aluminum siding salesman?

                                  This is not a connected narrative, but a series of sketches, each

                                  based on a different piece of information about the animal
                                  kingdom. As a result, you can read this in a hurry or stretch it
                                  out. There are a few dry places, but this is a good book to bring
                                  with you while you are waiting for your appointment with the IRS.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Way to go Erma.......1998-09-21

                                  I love Erma Bombeck. She is the best author I've read. This book continues that tradition. Every chapter is a laugh. The best part is, you can reread and reread the book and still laugh. Only Erma could do such a thing.

                                      Erma Bombeck turns her talents to the animal kingdom: the behavioral patterns of the creaturs in the wild and the couple in the duplex next door.Whether mocking the phenomenon of male menopause, or comparing the mating habits of the Adelie penguin with those of her patient spouse, Bombeck's irreverent joshing and witty sarcasm make each vignette a pleasure. Under the lively talents of Barbara Rosenblat, Bombeck's musings come across as jokes shared between close friends-a witty gossip session over some sinfully rich cheesecake.
