Book Description
This unique book reaches beyond the abstract theory presented in most standard textbooks to portray the principles and practices of Auditing as they are actually applied in the workplace. The novella—which forms a single, on-going, fictional case study meant to supplement a text—traces the professional life of Jack Butler, graduate of Farwestern University and current CPA As readers progress, they share with Jack, his clients, and colleagues various aspects of a typical career in public accounting—aspects students will most likely encounter during their own careers.

Good Information for New Auditors.......2006-06-22
This is a nice resource for audit students or new auditors. I doubt it would be entertaining for most others. The book was written as an "instructional novella" for students and it offers some good information on public accounting audit careers.
The story follows the career of a fictional auditor in a large, fictional firm in Oakland, California. He goes through various typical experiences to give students insight into what public accounting and auditing is really like. This is the type of information that is hard for students to come by. The story follows the career of a star, and may create an overly optimistic impression of what an audit career might be like. But the author also throws in some of the negatives. The narrator is asked by both managers and clients to makes some questionable moves, and he and others suffer from the grind of being over-worked, and even outside of the expected busy season. He also points out that pay is not quite in balance with the level of work and responsibility.
I think this book would have been better if it didn't focus on a fast-rising star. The narrator made partner at age 32, after nine years, which seems pretty fast to me. The book does offer some good information and helps new auditors know some of what is coming, but I wouldn't expect most careers to follow this path. However, I would still recommend it for anyone who is considering a career in public accounting.

Book Description
The Microsoft® Office System is the most popular desktop suite of personal productivity tools and technologies. Because the Microsoft Office suite of tools is so comprehensive, it can be challenging for people in certain professions to understand how to use Office to perform tasks specific to their job. This book focuses on the tasks that accountants and auditors performs every day—rather than the all too common software-centric approach that many other technology books habitually adopt. Other Microsoft Office books on the market are often difficult to understand because they largely address an Information Technology (IT) audience, cover too many professions in a single book, or are so large (more than 800 pages) as to be overwhelming. This book was written with accountants and auditors in mind. In fact, this book was developed by consulting and interviewing industry experts, software trainers, technology experts, and of course, accountants and auditors. The author learned exactly which topics were most troublesome for accountants and auditors, and made sure to explain them thoroughly. This book covers the use of these Microsoft Office System products for accountants and auditors:
-Microsoft® Word 2003
-Microsoft® Excel 2003
-Microsoft® Outlook 2003
-Microsoft® PowerPoint 2003
-Microsoft® OneNote 2003
This book helps accountants and auditors cut through the hard stuff, and makes Microsoft Office work for them. The book comes with free bonus materials: -Additional Financial Templates
-Bonus Chapter: "Working with XML"
-Keyboard Shortcut References

Not worth the money.......2001-11-26
I found this book to be a waste of time. This book does not give an explanation to a majority of the questions throughout the book, especially the multiple choice questions. What good is it to have the correct answer if you don't know why it is or even how to get the answer yourself. I would not recommend anyone to use this book as a study aid. The only thing this book is good for is to get an idea of the type of questions.
ACCOUNTANT NOT ACCOUNTABLE.......2001-01-23
THIS BOOK IS VERY MUCH OUTDATED.IT USES A LOT OF OBSOLETE TERMS AND THERE ARE SOME PRINTING ERRORS(INCLUDING THREE ANSWERS PRINTED INCORRECTLY!)IT WAS NOT VERY REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ACTUAL EXAM THAT I TOOK FOR ACCT/AUDIT.THIS BOOK WAS NOT VERY MUCH HELP AT ALL.YOU COULD DO A LOT BETTER WITH SOME WELL DESIGNED SELF-HELP BOOKS.
ARCO Accountant Auditor.......2000-06-03
This is an outstanding guide to studying for the local government Accountant test, i.e. City, County etc. A great value. You must possess an Accounting background and be willing to spend some time studying the material. I've been out of Accounting School for some 30 years, so I spent two to three hours a day for the week or ten days prior to the test studying. I achieved the desired results; #1 on the Accountant I list.

Book Description
The best-selling textbook in purchasing and supply management through several editions, this book presents a practical framework for students to apply how firms actually manage the enterprise-wide functions of purchasing and supply in today’s business environment. This edition represents a complete and thorough revision of the book, now explaining purchasing and supply management in the context of the supply chain, which. has begun to dominate the literature in the field. World Class Supply ManagementSM: The Key to Supply Chain Management, Seventh Edition, reflects that change in focus, right down to the title (formerly called, more traditionally, Purchasing and Supply Management; now with the subtitle that specifically references the book’s increased focus on supply-chain issues). New chapters have been added to the beginning and end of the text, to frame the new discussion of supply chain issues. The book has also been thoroughly updated to reflect the realities of purchasing and supply management in the digital age.
Customer Reviews:
Good reference but outdated.......2000-11-03
My instructor at college who is on the Board of NAPM made this the class text. The book is obsolete from its discussion of technology in purchasing but otherwise is good. It emphasizes qualitative methods and is very soft on quantitative analysis of practical business problems. There is a shortage of case studies but overall this is a good book.Being useful to take the NAPM exam, NAPM has expanded some definitions in the book that are not commonly held in other college courses. For example, my instructor docked me 10 points on a question asking for the 4 elements of a contract,which are different from what commercial law and the UCC dictate. NAPM has redefined some terms so be wary.
Average, not great.......2000-10-19
At over $100 this is an expensive book. It has some good information, being useful for Modules 1& 2 of the National Association of Purchasing Managers (NAPM) exams but is quite repetitive in its jargon. Much of what is discussed is generally known by anyone with any significant work experience. More calculations and hard data might be helpful. The book itself is of rugged construction and well made and of convenient size for portable reading.
Thankyou MR. DOBLER.......2000-01-18
This book is very useful for our purchasing mamagers
The core Purchasing text that must be on your shelf........1999-02-06
This is the textbook that every Purchasing professional must have on the shelf. It is written by the gurus in the field that helped to define the profession and set standards by developing the professional certification requirements.
The book establishes common language to describe Purchasing core processes that are applicable across industry and organizational lines. Because of the common language it establishes it can be really helpfull for someone who has been in a single industry or organization for some time that wants to transition to another industry but only knows the terms from their previos field.
For example someone involved in government procurement wishing to transition to the private sector might find the book usefull. Furthermore, it is written in the same language as appears on the NAPM APP and CPM examinations.
I have used the book both in a Purchasing Masters Degree Program at St Marys College in California and also in a Purchasing Certificate Program offered by the University of Phoenix and the material and cases are always well received by the students. The cases in particular are good and provide a common ground for people who have used the book.
There are some other books out there and new gurus are emerging but for now this is still the best.

Book Description
The European Union is presently at a crossroad. The prospect of enlargement has led to a project of comprehensive reform. Existing structures - originally designed for just six members - need to change. The Constitutional Convention has succeeded in forging a draft Treaty Establishing the Constitution for Europe but these developments raise fundamental issues of legitimacy and democratic accountability.
This book aims to address the challenge of forging a legitimate Constitution for the EU and explores the questions:
*Does the EU need a constitution and, if so, what is to be constituted?
*Can such a constitution be made by a non-state entity?
*How could the constitution be made and what is the role of the Convention on the Future of Europe?
The authors aim to clarify the constitutional status of the EU, to take stock of the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and Convention of the Future of Europe as vehicles to foster and create a European constitution. Developing a Constitution for Europe should interest students and researchers of European Politics.

Book Description
Chalk is the most important source of fresh water in North-West Europe: more than eight million cubic metres of water are pumped daily from the aquifier. This work presents an authoritative survey of the origin, sedimentology, and hydraulic properties of this unique rock, and the chemical characteristics of the water it contains. The factors influencing the flow through the chalk and its role as a hydrocarbon reservoir in the North Sea are reviewed along with the threats that industrial chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides present to the supply. The long-term implications of pollutants in this vital resource and the continuing ignorance of the factors that control the flow of water through the rock are highlighted.

Book Description
This book summarizes the salient features of both equilibrium and steady-state thermodynamic theory under a uniform postulatory viewpoint. The emphasis is upon the formal aspects and logical structure of thermodynamic theory, allowing it to emerge as a coherent whole, unfettered by much of those details which - albeit indispensable in practical applications - tend to obscure this coherent structure. Largely because of this, statistical mechanics and reference to molecular structure are, barring an occasional allusion, avoided. The treatment is, therefore, 'classical', or - using a perhaps more appropriate word - 'phenomenological'.
The volume almost exclusively deals with 'ideal' systems, given that the treatment of 'real' systems properly belongs in the realm of applied, rather than theoretical thermodynamics. For these reasons, only selected ideal systems are covered. Ideal gases are discussed extensively. The ideal solution is treated as an example of a liquid system. The amorphous ideal rubber serves as an example of a solid. The formalism developed in these sections is a model for the treatment of other, more complex systems. This short structural overview is written in the hope that a knowledge of steady-state theory will deepen readers' understanding of thermodynamics as a whole.

Book Description
Samuel is a closeted biology teacher, picking up what he can (preferably sailors) in forays to the obvious places in San Diego until he meets the top of the tops in the S&M group, but soon finds himself in the midst of family feuds, royal court and transvestite affairs, even dungeons with a pederastic bishop in the family manse. It is an unforgettable story, something like the Rocky Horror show.
