Book Description
Principles of Auditing remains the #1 Principles of Auditing text using the balance sheet approach. Whittington/Pany presents concepts clearly and proactively monitors changes in auditing, making the relationship between accounting and auditing truly understandable. The 13th edition maintains the organization and balance sheet orientation, while adding and enhancing the timely topics of Attestation, Assurance Services, Fraud, Electronic Commerce, and the latest auditing standards to meet the needs of the current marketplace.

The Best Auditing Book Available.......2004-05-19
During the 16 years that I have taught Financial Auditing at the university level I have been constantly on the lookout for the best available book. I chose Whittington & Pany because (1) it is succinct, (2) it presents auditing concepts clearly (although the authors do sugar coat the accounting scandals of the past 20 years and fail to give credit where credit is due by naming the firms involved in them), (3) the page layout is attractive and easy to read, and most importantly (4) my students preferred it over other texts (one student told me that she chose my class after looking through the assigned texts for all of the Auditing sections, an excellent idea).
The current (15th ed.) has been brought up to date with a limited discussion of Sarbanes-Oxley and the PCAOB.
The material is obviously dry, but I found that it was possible to make my classes more interesting by incorporating newspaper accounts of the more egregious audit failures in the assigned readings, and by being honest about the arrogance, greed and stupidity that are all too typical of the accounting profession today. This practice has brought complaints by the local offices of the major firms, to which my department head replied that they are welcome to come speak to the classes to explain their side of the story. To date, they have not accepted the invitation.
Whittington and Pany ROCK!!!!!.......2001-05-08
Let me tell ya! What do you get when you combine Whittington, Pany, and Auditing? It's just a boatload of accounting fun!!! These guys know how to put together a book on auditing. This thing is a real page turner. Damn! Attestation really rocks but Assurance Services will just blow your mind. Even if your're not an accountant, this is a great read. I understand the 13th edition is already a red hot item, so grab a copy today before they're all sold out. This is the one book you'll definitely want to have with you if you're traveling and you have room in your back pack for just one book. Read it, then read it again and again. Seriously, you can't put this thing down. It's THAT good! You'll be talking about it with your friends and family for years to come. Can't wait for someone to turn this puppy into an offering for the big screen. That would be sweeeet!!!

Book Description
Zvishavane, in southern Zimbabwe, is an arid yet starkly beautiful terrain where small-scale farmers struggle with fragile soils and erratic rainfull for often fruitless returns. Yet it was here that Zephaniah Phiri had the wisdom, vision and strength of character to transform a resource-starved subsistence plot into a fertile smallholding. This book is Mr Phiri's story. It is more than a simple environmental story; it reveals the family survival strategies of a man with immense courage, wisdom and generosity. Distilled by Mr Phiri's sage reflection and told in his own words, the story is imbued with his idioms, his rhythms and his experience. One feels refreshed-inspired by this champion of human dignity; a man whose endurance enabled him to found one of the first indigenous NGOs in Zimbabwe - the Zvishavane Water Project. From here Mr Phiri is able to convey the power of self-reliance throughout the often neglected small-scale farming sector of southern Africa. Far beyond this broad community, the book invites readers to celebrate the boundless potential for human fulfilment.

Chemistry on a budget.......2001-06-24
I am a teacher with few supplies at my disposal. This book showed me ways to use common items from a grocery store to demonstrate chemistry without spending a fortune or needing hard to find supplies. The book includes a section on safety, which is very important. It also describes why each experiment works the way it does. This book is best for the elementary or middle school science teacher.

Book Description
The nature and the human creations are full of complex phenomena, which sometimes can be observed but rarely follow our hypotheses. The best we can do is to build a parametric model and try to adjust (identify) the unknown parameters based on the available observations. The authors discuss problems relevant to materials and structures like inverse analysis in structures, crack, material parameter and damage identification, modal analysis and thermographic methods. The solution methods vary from classical optimization to neural networks and genetic algorithms. Since all the authors are engineers, well-known in the academic and industrial world, the emphasis is posed on methods which really work. In fact, the chapters provide state-of-the-art information supplemented by selected examples and numerous references to modern publications, so that the reader can directly proceed with the study of his own problems.
Book Description
Winner of the 1987 Pfizer Award of the History of Science Society
"A majestic study of a most important spoch of intellectual
history."—Brian Pippard, Times Literary Supplement
"The authors' use of archival sources hitherto almost
untouched gives their story a startling vividness. These volumes
are among the finest works produced by historians of physics."—Jed
Z. Buchwald, Isis
"The authors painstakingly reconstruct the minutiae of
laboratory budgets, instrument collections, and student numbers;
they disentangle the intrigues of faculty appointments and the
professional values those appointments reflected; they explore
collegial relationships among physicists; and they document the
unending campaign of scientists to wring further support for
physics from often reluctant ministries."—R. Steven Turner, Science
"Superbly written and exhaustively researched."—Peter Harman,
Nature

Janelle is the Best of Three.......2007-01-03
Hello, I love anthologies because I get to read lots of writers in a short amount of time. I thought Janelle Denison's contribution was the best. Nina Bangs' story added a supernatural element unnecessary to carry the story. I think MaryJanice Davidson's story shied away from love scences. Isn't that how romance writers gain notoriety and fans? It's about 3.5 stars in my book, so read at your own risk.

This book was awful!.......2006-06-29
Normally I enjoy anthologies and understand that there will not be a lot of character development but this book was truly dreadful.
Denison's story was so full of stereotypes and cliches I was completely disgusted. I've never read her before and this story convinced me I wasn't missing anything. I could go on and on about how much I disliked the story but it isn't worth my time. 0 stars for her story.
Bang's story was the best of the bunch but only if you've read her others that feature Sparkle Stardust and have a general idea of what is going on. Otherwise you'll be left thinking "huh?". 3 stars because of the fun sex scenes.
Davidson disappointed me the most. I've come to expect funny sexy stories from her but this one fell flat. Perhaps it could have been funny without the excessive use of the "f" word and other vulgarity. I don't mind a few well-placed expletives but she went a little to far for my personal comfort this time. I was put off rather than entertained. She skipped right over the sex scene so it wasn't even sexy. 1 star because she had a good idea - it just didn't work.
Don't waste your money on this one. Thankfully I got it from the library - perhaps you can too.
A Sexy book.......2006-06-16
This book is very good. I had difficulty putting it down. Even though some parts were kind of confusing over all I found it very sexy and full of romance!
Entertaining, But Not What It Is Advertised To Be. Read The Review And Decide For Yourselves........2005-12-14
There is nothing like a man stripped down to only a pair of well-worn jeans and his leather boots, with muscles bulging from hard work to bring on thoughts of: hot...sweaty...rough...sex! Welcome to the world of Men At Work!
Tess Monroe is coming home after being away for eight years. She is only staying long enough to get her grandmother's house in shape and ready to sell. There is one person that she will seek out is her old love, Morgan Kane. Tess needs his help with all the numerous repairs. Boy, he looks even better now than he did eight years ago!
Slow Hands is by author Janelle Denison. This is an outstanding erotic tale of past lovers finding their passionate flame had not gone out. From the moment this story starts until the very end, the characters are like a well-worn pair of shoes, they are comfortable and convincing. Ms. Denison, this is a heartwarming and superbly written erotic story, and people should buy the book just for this tale of love!
Sparkle Stardust, a cosmic troublemaker, is about to start some sexual trouble for old high school lovers, Amanda Harcourt and Conleth Maguire. Sparkle will pair them together to redo her newly acquired, Castle of Dark Dreams (like an adult fun park). Conleth and Amanda will have to work together to get the job done - coloring this castle with their own sexual vibes!
Color Me Wicked is by author Nina Bangs. Ms. Bangs' writing style is out in leftfield and distinctly different, which this reader loves. No one writes quite like her. Between the out-there imagination and outrageous erotic wording, Ms. Bangs has backbone, and it has not left the building. If you are looking for an unusual story, look toward Nina Bangs to deliver it!
Catherine Wyth is now a proud homeowner of a fixer-upper project. What she did not know before she bought this house is it has a ghost named Jack, and her next-door neighbor, Ken, is foul-mouthed and tacky. If only that hunk Ken was not so obnoxious and crude. One never knows how a shot of electricity can change a man's entire outlook on life, can one?
The Fixer-Upper is by author MaryJanice Davidson. Okay, this story might not be as erotic as the other two, but this jaded reader has not laughed so hard as she did with this tale of haunted love and a love-hate relationship between best friends; it kicked this story up to hilarious. You just have to read this tale to appreciate Ms. Davidson's absolutely kick-butt - delivered on dry toast - sense of humor.
Though this book is an overall entertaining read, it is not what the front cover or blurb on the back of this contemporary anthology suggested. Slow Hands by Janelle Denison was the only story that fit into the anthology's pretext of rugged and sexy, blue-collar men that work with their hands. The other two remaining stories are paranormal type tales of otherworldly beings and did not fit into the contemporary category. Now that you know the true contents of this book, you can make an informative decision whether to buy it or not.

Glad Janelle Denison was in it........2005-11-10
Otherwise it would have been a total waste of money. Janelle Denison story is the best of the three stories included in this nightmare book. I thought the other two stories were boring at best and stupid at worse. You might wanna pick this one up in the bargain book section but you sure do not wanna pay full price.
