Book Description

Covering the essentials of fund accounting, this flexible book introduces the reader to the basic accounting principles at work in both governmental and not-for-profit organizations. This brief book divides most of the chapters into independent sections, which may be covered as separate units. The information on state and local government financial reporting has been updated for coverage of the new financial reporting model, the reporting entity, and financial condition analysis. New examples have been added to more clearly describe the nature of lease accounting. The module on pension trust funds has been rewritten to reflect new GASB pronouncements in a simpler format. New material was added on the measurement of pension costs and other post-employment benefits. For accountants wishing to increase or refresh their knowledge of government and not-for-profit accounting or public budgeting.

5 out of 5 stars Great Book.......2005-09-11

It's a text book with lots of great examples of business challenges. I was required to purchase this book for my class but I also enjoy reading it (as much as I could any textbook) because the concepts are pretty easy to understand. There are also a lot of internet resources to enhance understanding of the concepts.

4 out of 5 stars >Government, .......2003-11-05

This book concentrates on govermental accounting, and really only has two chapters that specifically apply to non-profit accounting.

3 out of 5 stars Introduction to Governmental and Not-for-Profit Accounting.......2000-08-31

I would rate this book very highly for the non-accounting professional. The book takes the high level of technical terms and reduces it so that it is user friendly for all groups of business professionals.

I would strongly recommend this book to those readers who have a basic understanding of governmental accounting.

              Book Description

              With increased international trade transactions and a corresponding increase in disputes arising from those transactions, the application of the doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens, the discretionary power of a court to decline jurisdiction based on the convenience of the parties and the interests of justice? has become extremely relevant when determining which country's court should preside over a controversy involving nationals of different countries. Forum Non Conveniens: History, Global Practice, and Future Under the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements provides an in-depth analysis of the common law doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens as it has evolved in the four major common law countries (UK, US, Canada, and Australia), and looks at the similarities and differences of the doctrine among those four countries. It compares Forum Non Conveniens to the more rigid analogous doctrine of Lis Alibi Pendens found in civil law countries, which requires automatic deference to the court where a dispute is first filed and explains current initiatives for coordinating jurisdictional issues between the common law and civil law systems, the most important of which is the 2005 Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements. The authors explain how the Hague Convention provides a rational approach to the confluence of common law and civil law doctrines and how its application to international transactions is likely to temper judicial application of the doctrine of Forum Non Conveniens and provides greater predictability with respect to enforcement of private party choice of court agreements. Forum Non Conveniens: History, Global Practice, and Future Under the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements is the only book to provide a complete explanation of Forum Non Conveniens in the context of global litigation, making it a very important resource and reference work.

                  Developed and used by attorneys at the prominent law firms of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP and Hale and Dorr LLP, this expert, interactive software system allows practitioners to dramatically reduce costs and improve efficiency. Kluwer Global Law Practice Systems enables the user to quickly generate draft international agreements via an interactive computer dialogue. Once the user answers the questions prompted by the software, the computer automatically creates a draft contract tailored to the information provided. As the user enters the information, warnings pop up on screen if any aspect seems unusual or contrary to local advice and laws. The wide range of possible contracts includes + licensing, + distribution, + commercial agency, + value-added reseller, and + sale of goods. This software offers two major benefits: (1) Cost reductions: This system eliminates the need to use local firms in foreign jurisdictions at the initial drafting stage. The contracts created by this system provide the local counsel memoranda and precautionary notes for every country covered. They are also updated. This enables users to ask the right questions of local counsel to limit the costs associated with over-extensive reliance on outside advice. (2) Increased efficiency: This system produces an initial draft more quickly than starting from scratch, working from a form book, or cutting and pasting forms from past deals. It also removes the risk inherent in these other methods that the contract used as a template is flawed, inappropriate, or outdated. It standardises contracts so that contracts associated with a company become consistent. Finally, it allows more junior practitioners to produce the first draft of a contract and to do so without extensive supervision, thereby freeing senior personnel to focus on more complex matters. Other potential benefits include: employee education, development of a better electronic infrastructure, and improved staff confidence. The face of the legal practice is changing. The increased focus on bottom line means cost reductions and efficiency are more important than ever. In this vein, Kluwer Global Law Practice Systems represents the wave of the future.

                  Book Description

                  Explains the methods that rocket scientists use—expressed in a way that could be applied in everyday life. The book illustrates the methods (the 7 secrets) with anecdotes, quotations and biographical sketches of famous scientists, ideas from sci-fi, personal stories and insights, and occasionally a bit of space history. The author reveals that rocket science is just common sense applied to the extraordinarily uncommon environment of outer space and that rocket scientists are people, too.

                  PRAISE FOR BOOK

                  It’s really great!—Dr. Buzz Aldrin, Lunar Module Pilot, First Manned Landing on the Moon

                  "People of Earth…Attention!" Jim Longuski's book takes you on a journey of exploration to that nearly infinite space between the ears and behind the brows of that most mysterious of all creatures—the rocket scientist! Going well beyond the oft-used aphorisms, where no writer has gone before, he shows you how these gifted individuals think, feel, work, play, fantasize, rationalize, laugh and cry. From the glories of their epoch-making achievements to the tragedies of their magnificent failures, it is all here, told with insight, humor, objectivity and personal perspective. Without being preachy, lessons are offered that apply to anyone seeking to make professional or personal life just a little bit more successful and fun. I just couldn't set this book down!—Robert Cesarone, Rocket Scientist, Voyager Navigator, Space Communications Architect

                  This book is a must read for everyone—not just those who think they want to know how Rocket Scientists think. Do not be scared off by the title; it’s a delightful and wonderfully useful easy read.—Dr. William J. O’Neil, Galileo Project Manager, 1990-1998, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology

                  2 out of 5 stars Inappropriate Personal Space Shuttle Vendetta.......2007-06-04

                  As a "rocket scientist" (or rather, "rocket engineer") myself, I find Longuski's basic pointers about how to think like a rocket scientist very accurate. In fact, I'd give this book 5 stars if it was only full of these pointers.

                  However, I am extremely disappointed by Longuski's use of this book to embark on a personal vendetta against the Space Shuttle. While I agree with some of Longuski's points, they are frequently made with sarcastic language and by presenting incomplete information (certainly not the objectivity one would expect from a rocket scientist).

                  The book's subtitle should be "or How I Learned To Continue Worrying and Hate the Space Shuttle." At least if that were the subtitle, Longuski's Shuttle discussions would be a little more appropriate.

                  5 out of 5 stars Give yourself a Rocket Scientist makeover.......2007-05-16

                  This book isn't about how to make a thruster fire, or how to launch a spaceship into interstellar space. It's about the process of making the orderly, logical decisions that could get you there.

                  Most of us don't make decisions about million-dollar rocket designs. But anybody can make a bad decision based on faulty logic, incomplete data or simple boneheadedness. Wrong thinking can cause aspects of our careers and personal lives to veer dangerously off-course, like a fueled-up rocket with its thrusters firing sideways.

                  Dr. Longuski's book is full of common-sense, high-functioning rationality. It gets my enthusiastic endorsement!

                  1 out of 5 stars Not for rocket scientists.......2007-04-05

                  If you are a rocket scientist (and I sort of am), you will find this book shallow and disappointing. In fact, if you are of a scientific turn of mind in any way, this book will contribute nothing to your approach to problems. And, even if you are not scientificaslly oriented, I fail to see how this book will help you. I know it is not expensive, which is why I was thinking of getting this book for my 16 year old grandson, but I never passed it along because he would just laugh at the trivial and banal examples. It isn't even amusing.

                  5 out of 5 stars A book for all thinkers and dreamers.......2007-02-17

                  If you have ever wondered about the universe, been entertained by science-fiction or faced a challenging problem, then this book is for you. I found it to be both fun and informative. Most importantly, it made me smile!

                  5 out of 5 stars Secrets of a Rocket Scientist.......2007-01-22

                  This is fun reading, and since I am a rocket scientist, I found the advice to be "right-on."

                            Book Description

                            Her man demanded loyalty, but her body wouldn’t obey.

                            Have you ever rolled over in the middle of the night and realized you were doing things you swore you’d never do? Sexing brothers you vowed you’d never touch? Bending backwards and stooping lower than you ever thought you’d stoop? Well if you can feel me even a little bit, then let me hit you with a story that just might blow your mind. . . .

                            Nineteen-year-old Juicy Stanfield is the sexy young girlfriend of Granite “G” McKay, owner of Harlem’s notorious G-Spot Social Club. A drug dealer with a lethal streak, he runs Harlem with an iron fist. But even the cash and the bling can’t keep Juicy from getting restless, and while G fulfills her every material desire, she’s burning up with unrequited sexual energy. To cheat on him would mean a death sentence; so Juicy finds pleasure in secret ways: fantasizing on crowded subways or allowing her eyes to hungrily take in the male dancers on the club’s ladies night.

                            But as Juicy’s sexual cravings grow stronger, one thing becomes frighteningly clear: She’s a virtual prisoner in G’s dangerous world. As G begins to suspect her of playin’ him, he pulls the reins he keeps on her even tighter. If she’s ever to escape and get a life of her own she must find a way to start stashing away some of G’s cash. But doing that under G’s watchful eye is a challenge she might not live up to–especially when her appetite tempts her with the deadliest desire of all: G’s very own son. . . .

                            5 out of 5 stars Lawd have mercy!!!.......2007-10-01

                            G-Spot

                            Can I say, "oh, my goodness". I am so sorry that I let this book sit on my bookshelf for the months that it did before I started reading it. This book was a quick read. This book was amazing.

                            Juicy Mo is a nineteen year old girl who wasn't given an opportunity to be a young lady, a woman. Upon her grandmother's death, she quickly shuffled from one house to another - Grandma's a little girl, to Granite McKay's (G), her man who ruled his thrown with an iron fist, as a woman.

                            Juicy Mo was forced to live a life, if that is what you called it, alongside G. G, a tyrant to say the least, is dirty. The beatings, the drugs, the club, the lack of sexual drive, the mystery behind his missing wife, and ultimately the events surrounding his son.

                            There is so much that I want to spill about Juicy, Gino, Jimmy, G and his crew...but you have to read it for yourself. Believe me when I say that you won't be able to put this book down. Noire did the damn thing. I am definitely reading the rest of this author's books.

                            5 out of 5 stars Definitely had me hooked..........2007-09-11

                            Let me just say, I got this book last week and wanted to have it as a book to read on the train to/from work. However, last night I just couldn't do it. I was half way through the book. Next thing I knew it was 10pm, 11pm, 12am, 1am then finally 2am when I finished the book. I'm usually a fast reader but I had to keep going over certain parts of the book because I couldn't believe what I was reading. Like some readers, I found myself, laughing aloud, getting teary eyed and sitting with my mouth open in shock.

                            Although, when I finished the book I found it kind of difficult to go to sleep. Now I am not no punk but I replayed the last chapters in my mind and that would have kept me up til 5am.

                            This book overall was definitely a page turner. I want to read Noire's other novels for myself, that's just how I am. I get discounts anyway lol sorry Noire. I'm upset though, cause this book was such a page turner I don't have nothing to read today on the way home lol.

                            Good read Noire, keep up the good work. I agree that it's not for the faint at heart but there aren't too many erotica labeled books that are.

                            5 out of 5 stars G stands for GRIMEY!!!!.......2007-08-03

                            This book was officially off the chain!!! Noire did the damn thing.. Its a page turner that leaves you reading each page to happpen next... Its a good book and its coming HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as well as Candy Licker....

                            Go ahead and put this one on ya wish list!!!!!

                            5 out of 5 stars Awsome Book.......2007-07-10

                            Who ever compared this book to "Addicted" and "The Coldest Winter Ever" hit it right on the edge.Once I started this book I could not put it down from wondering what G was going to do Juicy next. I hate what happened to her brother but wish she could have been the one to take G out. Really good book.I hope the other books from this author or just as good.He might replace my favorite author(Z**E).

                            5 out of 5 stars OMG.......2007-06-26

                            This book was off the hook. WOW I can not believe how good this book was. I couldnot put it down. Do your thing NOIRE. Juciy and her brother had it bad until she met G eveything changed in her life, but was it for the better or worse. And just guess who is gonna help her figure that out, You got to read to find out.

                                Product Description

                                Following street lit sensation Candy Licker, Noire returns to gangsta Harlem to tell the tale of Andre "Thug-a-Licious" Williams, a "Dawg-4-Lyfe" whose death is announced in the preface and whose life unfurls in a series of dark, stop-start flashbacks. At the time of his death, Dre, or Thug, was, improbably, "the baddest NBA rookie in the league," who was, at the same time, a rapper with a "club-banging album with triple platinum potential." Noire doesn't show us much of Thug's practice on the court or time in the studio (though a number of his rhymes are strewn through the narrative): the action is concentrated on his dick (which is big) and his exploits (nine children by nine different mothers by page 257, along with herpes). Through it all, Dre loves Carmiesha "Muddah" Vernoy, with whom he's hoping to settle down. He shields her from his criminal activity with cousins Pimp and Smoove (Carl and Todd Williams). It's Pimp who does the worst of it, and who also does time in jail while Thug accepts a basketball scholarship to Syracuse. Meanwhile, Muddah, who has gone to college and started her own beauty salon, Locks of Love, is keeping a secret that will eventually catch up with her and with Thug. The plot sputters, and the lives of all concerned are unrelentingly grim, but the sex really is hot. (On sale Aug. 29) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
