The Life and Writings of Stuart Chase (1888-1985), Volume 8: From an Accountant's Perspective (Studies in the Development of Accounting Thought)

Book Description

Stuart Chase (1888-1985) is truly a man for all times. Still remembered by liberals in their 70s and 80s, he is now unknown by all too many. Chase was a CPA, as was his father and grand uncle, and was a longtime accountant.

Chase speaks loudly and effectively for 2005 and beyond to accountants, and all others, concerned about waste, conservation, social action, justice and change, ethics and fairness. His 1925 The Tragedy of Waste remains the best work ever written on waste.

Hopefully, this book on Stuart Chase will be in the forefront of a revitalization of the works and person of Stuart Chase. His chronology in this book traces his vitality from 1888 on.

Richard Vangermeersch is an emeritus professor in accounting at the University of Rhode Island. He has published numerous books and articles on the history of accounting. He is a past president of the Academy of Accounting Historians and a past chair of its trustees. He was co-convenor of the 10th World Congress of Accounting Historians in 2004.

Reference Book of Choice for me.......2007-06-08

I have followed the basic concepts of this book for over 15 years with great success. For DC Managers who are trying to start a Cycle Count process, this book is all you need.

I have followed the principles in this book and have been able to successfully eliminate annual physical inventories at two different companies.

I do not however use Brooks' and Wilson's "Tolerance" approach and always seek to hit 100% accuracy for every SKU.

One must keep in mind that the purpose of cycle counting is not to correct individual inventory records, but to identify records requiring root cause analysis so corrective actions can be taken to eliminate the source of the error. This in turn not only corrects the immediate issue, but also similar issues that have perhaps not yet been discovered.

If you use the Process Control method of Cycle Counting discussed in this book, and track dollar, SKU, and units in terms of gross variances (irrespective of + or -), you will accumulate results that should free you from ever having to take another Physical Inventory.
As a DC Manager, that is priceless. mdv

Poor.......2007-03-09

The book did not contain any of the arguments needed to prove why and when to make changes for inventory accuracy. Poor choice!

Great subject but short on content........2004-05-04

I purchased this book due to recent research by Nicole DeHoratius on the subject. Early on, the author gives a good review of the math behind Inventory Record Accuracy. However, the book is hurt by frequent reference to too-simplistic management strategies that are not effective in running a large, modern day distribution center.
If you are really serious about the subject, California Management Review has published some recent case studies that are very practical for today's distribution climate.

good book, direct to the point, intersting, a bit basic.......1998-03-29

This book sure is very easy to understand and very direct to the point. Although, a little more details particularly in the procedures for transactions would be helpful

Book Description

Since 1985, the University of Hohenheim, Germany, in collaboration with the ICRISAT Sahelian Center, Niger, has pursued the development of improved agricultural systems for smallholder farmers in the fragile agricultural ecosystem of the West African Sahel. Wind erosion is one of the constraints that limits crop production in the region and was therefore a major focus of research. In this book, scientists from different disciplines work together to present a holistic view of this crucial problem and offer possible solutions to farmers in the region.
This book is intended for researchers and institutions focusing on sustainable agriculture in the West African Sahel, as well as in other parts of the world where wind erosion affects agricultural production. A deliberate effort has been made to ensure that the book will be comprehensible to a broad readership, including applied researchers, extension specialists, development workers and students working in the field of soil degradation and desertification, as well as national and international policymakers. Those involved in the planning and execution of natural resource protection programs, especially in West Africa, will also gain insights from this book.
The book is written in English; the abstracts and the summary chapter are also given in French.

worst chem book ever.......2001-06-07

This is the most horrible chemistry book, I have ever seen. There are so many mistakes, there are not enough examples with clear explanations, and it looks as if the authors spent about 10 minutes trying to organize this. I have used other chemistry books, and not to say that they are perfect, but this book really is horrible. Try and spend a couple dollars doing research on how to organize. When you introduce a topic in chapter 4, do not say it will be explained in chapter 11. Explain all topics the first time you mention them!

The Best Out There.......1999-07-28

This is truly the best g. chem. book I've seen, out of about 6 or 7. It's not too complex, but not too simple either. For pre-med students a must -- it helped me score a 14 in the physical section of the MCAT

Finally a chemistry book worth having!.......1999-04-28

I have a B.S. in Chemistry and tutor it at our local junior college where this book is the one being used for the course. I have never found a general chem book good enough to keep until now. The text and examples are very clear and easy to follow and understand. The pictures and sections on chemistry in the real world are enlightening. I was so impressed with this book that I actually bought it to keep for my own library, and I didn't need to do that because I was required to have it! The only thing I would like to see them improve on the next edition is the index. This is done as a combination glossary/index and there are many things that I have tried to find in the index that are not listed. So get a better indexer on the next edition!

Great Textbook.......2007-06-01

I used this textbook while taking AP chem in high school. I found myself relying heavily on the book and less so on the teacher's lectures. I must say that I think it's one of the best general chemistry books (I've read others) in terms of organization, practice problems, and explanations. I think it prepared me very well for the AP test and gave me a solid foundation in chemistry. I'd recommend it for anyone trying to learn chemistry by themselves too; it is very user-friendly and to the point. If you are going to read a textbook intently, this is a good choice. If you just want to be sprinkled with magic "chemistry knowledge", I'm not sure that there exists a text for you :)

Make the hurt stop!!!.......2006-07-28

If it were not for all of the pretty pictures in this book, I might be inclined to give this book one star. As it stands, 2 stars is more than this abysmal tome deserves anyway. This is the most confusing textbook I have ever owned. The entire book is smothered in pointless and overdone charts, graphs, and tables, the language is probably better suited for a third or fourth year chemistry student (for the most part), and half of the chapters appear to be out of order. For chapters towards the end of the text, answers in the back of the book are cut short (maybe to save space?). Sometimes the authors of the book ramble on as if conversing with a PhD friend of theirs, apparently forgetting that some students reading this text are seeing this material for the first time, and need a very concise explanation for some of the concepts. Quite a few of the sample problems in the book assume complete mastery of previous chapters, often offering no clue or rationale for steps that are used to solve the problem. This has been by far the most frustrating experience I have had with any textbook. I would avoid it, if possible. If you're a professor looking for a good text that clearly explains general chemistry to your students in a non-threatening manner, well - look elswhere. This one is hurtful. Stay away.

This text is great! I hardly ever went to class and rarely paid attention, but I read all the corresponding chapters and they are SO CLEAR that you understand everything perfectly. I made the HIGHEST GRADE in my chemistry 102 class and set the curve in lab, all thanks to this book and it's crystal clear explanations. The examples in the text are super helplful. Also, you should buy the companion solutions manual and study guide, they are helpful as well.

Book Description

One of the most important techniques for determining the atomic structure of a material is X-ray diffraction. One of the great problems of the technique, however, is the fact that only the intensity of the diffraction pattern can be measured, not its phase. The inverse problem, of determining the structure from the pattern thus contains ambiguities that must be resolved by other means. Quantitative X-ray analysis provides one way to resolve this phase problem: mixing the material in question with a material of known structure yields interferences that can be analyzed to yield the unknown phases. Invented in 1916, but little used at the time, the technique has seen a recent revival due to the development of extremely precise X-ray diffractometers coupled with powerful computers.

Book Description

Best friends and brothers Dean and Rick Walker need a vacation. Dean's job as a local policeman and Rick's computer business ensure steady incomes, but life is slow and, well, boring. Rick suggests a tropical adventure on exotic Himmel Island—where the women outnumber the men five to one—to add a little zest to their lives.

But their high hopes for happiness are dashed when their charter boat captain dumps them off at the wrong island—and even worse, it's deserted. Rick and Dean must try to survive until the captain's scheduled return in six days. Curiously, Rick's discovery of some unusual berries leaves him in a highly unusual condition—he's become invisible.

What ensues is a hilarious story of Rick's struggle to cope with his newfound “talent.” When the brothers return to their hometown of Vaglooshi, Mississippi, Rick seeks new ways to make himself useful around town. He manages to slip onto a movie set, befuddle a college quarterback, thwart an attempted robbery, and convince a street beggar to clean up and find a job. But Dean finds a better use for Rick's invisibility than mischief. An illegal drug is circulating the streets, and Dean needs Rick's special ability to help him crack the case.

Outstanding.......2005-05-18

Hats off to Mr. Greg Bier!! Being a first time reader to this author, I found myself pleasantly surprised reading his book. The characters, Rick and Dean, created so much laughter, I found it hard to put the book down. It will keep you guessing until the end. And when I did reach the end, I kept wanting more! Please write a sequel....I will buy it!
