Customer Reviews:

simplistic yet confusing.......2006-01-24

I adopted this text for use in a course I taught. I won't be using this book again. I feel guilty that my students had to pay good $ for it.

Very understandable explanations.......2004-06-17

Advanced accounting is an area where understanding the concepts that underlie procedures is crucial for solving new problems. This clearly written book excels at giving you the conceptual understanding you need to solve the problems you see on tests. It is especially good in explaining the knotty area of accounting for intercompany transfers.

I recently finished a demanding advanced accounting course for which I picked up this book to supplement the advanced accounting text used in the course. I learned much more from Larsen's book. Despite my somewhat thin at the time background in financial accounting I received an A- in the course. No way that would have hapenned without studying this book. I am sure it will also help in my CPA test preparation. The separately available study guide has good practice questions.

Advanced Accounting by E. John Larsen.......2004-05-31

This book emphasizes the advanced accounting subject areas for
the Uniform CPA Examination . It has a strong rendition of
partnership accounting, consolidations and eliminating entries
for intercompany sales, investment income, cost of sales and
minority interest computations. There is good coverage of
the specialized topics in advanced accounting; namely,
installment sales, present value computations and the non-profit accounting sector which may be tested on the Uniform CPA Exam
and graduate-level exams. The book is a worthy purchase. The Web dimension of the presentation adds considerable value to the overall purhase. Advanced accounting courses require preparation and considerable problem solving. Both aspects are emphasized heavily in the current rendition.

Excellent resource for comprehensive exams!!!.......2002-03-30

Author has a flawless style of writing and presenting accounting. It has clear-cut examples with no gimmicks. This is a great resource for reviewing for comprehensive exams.

EXCELLENT TEXT BOOK FOR STUDENTS INTERESTED IN ACCOUNTING

Product Description

An anthology includes 14 previously unpublished papers exploring the potential of restorative justice to serve as an overarching vision for the juvenile justice system and outlining a research agenda for the concept's further development. Earlier drafts of the papers were originally presented at a conference held in Leuven, Belgium in 1997. An introduction is provided by editors Gordon Bazemore and Lode Walgrave. Part 1, "Key Principles," begins with Barry C. Feld's reflections on alternative conceptions of juvenile justice. Bazemore and Walgrave offer an outline for systemic restorative justice-oriented reform of juvenile justice. The history of restorative justice is recounted by Elmar G.M. Weitekamp. John Braithwaite and Christine Parker equate restorative justice with what Braithwaite has previously called republican justice. Part 2, "Process, Programs and Practices," begins with Walgrave's essay on community service as a cornerstone of restorative juvenile justice. Bazemore analyzes links between restorative justice and relational rehabilitation. The importance of protecting public safety role in a restorative juvenile justice system is highlighted by Susan Guarino-Ghezzi and Andrew Klein. How to avoid the marginalization of victim-offender mediation is Mark S. Umbreit's theme. In Part 3, "Implementation Issues," a Canadian case study is presented by Curt Taylor Griffiths and Ray Corrado. Legal issues raised by restorative justice are assessed by Daniel W. Van Ness. Part 4 is devoted to research issues. Klaus Sessar examines reality and myth concerning the public's punitive attitudes. Russ Immarigeon provides a review of the literature on restorative justice, juvenile offenders and crime victims. The impact of restorative interventions on juvenile offenders is analyzed by Mara Schiff. The editors conclude the volume with reflections on the future of restorative justice for juveniles

Book Description

Dating from the mid-thirteenth century, Albert the Great's monumental treatise on living things, their characteristics, and their place in the natural order stands as one of the most valuable contributions to the history of science, ranking in importance with the writings of Aristotle and Linnaeus. Yet until now--more than seven hundred years after his death--Albert's De Animalibus has never been completely translated from the original Latin.

Drawing on all available source materials, Kenneth F. Kitchell, Jr., and Irven Michael Resnick present the first complete, fully annotated English translation of this magisterial work. It is, as they explain, a summa in two senses of the word. First, it is a "summary,"a summation of all contemporary knowledge in a given field. Albert writes of human anatomy, reproductive theories, equine and canine veterinary medicine, folk remedies against household pests, cures for rabies and sterility, how to train a falcon, whether an ostrich will eat iron, and much, much more. At the same time, this work is a summa in that it is the epitome or highest expression of this sort of work. It represents the first passage to the Latin West of Aristotle's natural works. Yet it adds to the received text the vast knowledge Albert acquired in a lifetime of observing, testing, and recording. The result is unique, highly reflective of the period in which it was written, and remarkably forward looking.

The work is scholarly, to be sure, but it can also be highly entertaining, offering useful insights into medieval life not seen elsewhere. Whether Albert writes of his early experiences in falconry or relates what he learned in conversations with fisherman, soldiers, and craftsmen, we are drawn into a real, day-to-day world where the lure and lore of animals are of paramount importance. The subjects range from castrated, philandering priests who nonetheless manage to produce children to medical marvels and physiognomic trails. Do bats have legs and birds bladders? Can partridges really become impregnated via the wind? Why do children's teeth grow back, but those of adults do not? How do people pretend to wiggle their ears? Why are people occasionally produced with too many fingers, and what causes what today are called Siamese twins? Albert's interest in the world around him was truly universal and in this way, too, he is the Doctor Universalis.

Its good for fishes!.......2002-07-28

I can only comment on the material pertaining to aquatic animals in this translation. And my comments are limited as those of an ichthyologist who knows only a little Latin. It is a cliche but Magnus was a candle in the darkness of the Middle Ages. As such he deserves a modern English translation. Furthermore this is a scholarly annoted edition. The species allocations for Magnus animals have been systematically considered and whilst there will be alternative interpretations, the evidence for Drs Reznick and Kitchell's positions is always sound. This is an essential tome for anyone interested in the development of biological (especially ichthyological) thought in Europe.

Book Description

This book is an introduction to the physics of highly excited, easily perturbed or interacting atoms. The book begins with a brief introduction to the traditional view of electron shells and their properties, and then goes on to discuss Rydberg states, quantum defect theory, atomic f-values, centrifugal barrier effects, autoionisation, inner shell and double excitation spectra, K-matrix theory, atoms in high laser fields, statistical methods, quantum chaos, and atomic effects in solids. The emphasis is throughout on radial properties, orbital collapse, many body effects, the breakdown of the independent particle approach, the emergence of chaos, and the behaviour of atoms inside clusters and solids. A very full account of autoionisation includes not only the standard treatment for isolated resonances, but also several alternative approaches. The book discusses many experimental examples and has many diagrams and a comprehensive reference list.

Book Description

The status of research in the Physics of Highly Excited Atoms and Ions is covered in this monograph. It includes today's approaches and methods for describing isolated Rydberg atoms and ions, radiative transitions between highly excited states, and photoionization and photorecombination processes. The authors present a number of efficient methods for the calculations in the theory of collisions of highly excited atoms and ions with neutral and charged particles and of spectral-line broadening of Rydberg atomic series in gases, low- and high-temperature plasmas, and astrophysics. Particular attention is paid to a comparison of the theoretical results with available experimental data.

Book Description

The neon sign had seemed appropriate when the Honk and Holler Opening Soon was being built. But twelve years later, the once-busy highway outside Sequoyah, Oklahoma, is little-traveled, and "opening soon" is a tired joke. Today the sign is as battered and beaten as the cafe and its owner, Caney Paxton, a Vietnam War veteran who hasn't ventured outside since its opening. The characters who drift in and out of the Honk don't change much: Molly O, a four-times married earth mother who recognizes a wounded spirit when she meets one; Life Halstead, a widower who eats three meals a day in the cafe so he can be near Molly O; Hooks Red Eagle, Soldier Starr, and Quinton Roach, Cherokee veterans of World War II; and Bilbo and Peg Porter--Bilbo steadily puffing his smokes while Peg struggles for breath through her oxygen mask. With Christmas only days away, their lives are to be forever changed with the arrival of Vena Takes Horse, a Crow woman on a quest, and Bui Khanh, a Vietnamese refugee looking for home. A story that crackles and sizzles like burgers on a red-hot grill, The Honk and Holler Opening Soon captures a small town's prejudice and tolerance, violence and big-heartedness. It convinces us that dark clouds can really have silver linings. And it leaves us hungry for more writing from Billie Letts and the Oklahoma she portrays with so much vitality and love.

Gorgeous Characters.......2007-08-07

This is what Billie Letts does best, involve us in everyday people with an eye for what is so distinct and special about the ordinary day-to-day. After reading this book, I found myself lingering in cafes, wondering about the lives of the men sitting at the counter, the waitresses pouring coffee, the bus boys clattering dishes, the mothers feeding oatmeal to grubby children in highchairs. Any story that can make you open your eyes to the world around you, that is a story worth reading.

The Honk and Holler Opening Soon.......2007-06-04

ISBN 0446675059 - I find myself put off by books that have a Reading Group Guide, which strikes me as wildly presumptuous on someone's part. That alone didn't have me thinking highly of this book, but it did get better.

Caney Paxton, wheelchair bound but broken in far more important ways, returned home from Vietnam and opened a cafe. One drunken phone call changed the name from "The Honk and Holler" to "The Honk and Holler Opening Soon", a name that - considering the people it is home to - is more appropriate than you'd think. Caney lives in a room in the back and hasn't been out of the cafe since it opened. His waitress, Molly O, pines for the return of her high-school-dropout daughter, who ran off to seek fame and fortune as a country singer. The regulars come and go like clockwork, new customers are rare and nothing really ever happens. So when the door opens for Vera Takes Horse, no one is prepared for the changes she will bring to the Honk.

A nice, if not particularly great, story about fairly average people whose dramas are bigger in their own minds than they are in reality, The Honk and Holler Opening Soon distracts the reader from the story with some of the unusual names and characters' weird behavior. Not a book I'd recommend, but it's not terrible, either.

A warm and engaging story..........2007-01-17

In a tiny Oklahoma community, it seems the heart of all the action takes place at the curiously-named Honk and Holler Opening Soon...

While it doesn't boast a five-star menu, the Honk's staff genuinely care about making customers happy...even when they aren't too happy themselves. Owner Caney Paxton, a wheelchair-bound Vietnam veteran, hasn't left the place in twelve years. His widowed waitress Molly O desperately longs for the return of her strong-willed daughter Brenda, who set off to become a singing sensation at age 17. Bui Kanh, a penniless immigrant from Vietnam, shrugs off the cold stares of the townspeople who still can't forget the war, focusing only upon being reuinited with his beloved Nguyet. And Vena Takes Horse, a young Crow/Cherokee woman who arrives mysteriously looking for work, carrying a wounded dog, and somehow unites them all...

Horrid.......2006-06-19

I could not read this book. I got to page four with the horribly wounded dog and six dead puppies and threw it in the trash. I'm still having nightmares. I got the book free and was leary from the start - EVERYONE has a weird name - yeah this is like life. I think the author is trying tooooooo hard. I was disoriented right off the bat and had to clue when or where I was. I'd never recommend this author - NEVER.

Great story, wonderful writing.......2006-05-15

I loved this book!! Beautifully written. Characters I cared about. Uplifting. Believable. Shows how transformation is possible. By taking a risk, the characters opened themselves to new relationships to heal their pain & loneliness.

Great Story.......2007-01-12

I picked up this book at work desperate for something to read at lunch. I loved it so much it's been my pick for two different book clubs. As to why I like it so much? First, Billie Letts is a great writer. She has a way of making the characters real without being overly descriptive. Second, the story is hopeful without being too sappy - not everything turns out perfect in the end. And not all the loose ends are tied up in a pretty bow. There are several story lines that could be a sequel . . . or could be left for us to finish using our own imagination. It's not a complicated read, but I have found something new each time I have picked it up. I highly recommend this book. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
