Good Examples, But Not Very Easy to Use.......2003-03-04

People are busy and time is short. This book provides moderate coverage of a wide range of accounting controls, good procedure examples and some sample forms. But it stops short of being truly helpful.

The book contains a little but of everything including payroll and EDP (Does anyone really call it EDP anymore?). It was originally released in 1992 so it's a little outdated today and it does not go into enough detail on the core functions.

The enclosed CD only provides pdf versions of the forms. How come they didn't provide the text versions to save more time editing? Forms are one of the most helpful parts of a procedure, but they only provide 36 forms. If you need to create controls then you will not save that much time using this product.

What you need are editable WORD versions of all the procedures and forms. More complete references to laws or standards to simplify future maintenance. And more detailed coverage of the core accounting cycles for cash, revenue, purchasing, inventory & assets, and general management & administration. Now that would be a truly helpful product that would save you a lot of time.

But Amazon.com does carry such a product. Accounting Policies, Procedures & Forms - ISBN 1931591059. Released at the end of 2002, its up-to-date. It contains 600 pages with detailed coverage of the core accounting functions, a sample accounting manual and procedures in-sync with today's accounting software operations, plus additional coverage on embezzlement prevention. You will save more time, find more relevant material and be a lot happier.

Very useful guide to financial controls! We instituted several new controls at our company as a result of reading this book.

Good book for manual systems.......2000-02-19

I was shocked when I read this book. I am an accounts payable supervisor and this was recommended in an accounting newletter I receive. The book is written for a company using a manual accounting system (there are pictures of columnar pads). We are on an integrated accounting software so this book so not apply at all. I am in the process of sending the book back.

Applies to Real-World work situations.......2001-08-10

This book gave me some fresh material to incorporate into a leadership program that I was creating. These aren't fun and games type of activities. They seem to be geared more toward assessing a group and getting information from the group to measure skill-set. This book would probably be more appropriate for a manager to use with his/her own group, compared to an instructor/student setting.

A modern-day classic.......2005-04-14

There are three books I read again every year: Baseball Anecdotes by Daniel Okrent and Steve Wulf; Be True to Your School by Bob Greene; and the Starry Room by Fred Schaaf. Only one of them moves me to tears on the very first page. If you have ever stood at the edge of the woods at night, gazed up at the stars, and trembled with reverence and awe, perhaps even fear - Fred Schaaf's prose will not only return you to that sacred moment but sweep you up and into the midst of that very sky. The intimate universe awaits.

A Great Book to Understand Bacteria.......2000-06-12

I used this book in a course by the same name and it was a helpful source to read. It gives good explanations that sometimes are a little too short. I still use this book and it is a great place to jump off from when trying to understand a topic. One problem is that somtimes it gets too much into the biochemical steps and falls away from the concepts of the pathway. But all in all, it is a helpful book if this is your field or if you want to start and understand bacteria from a entire bacteria level and not just one gene at a time. The parts on genetics and genetic regulation of systems (focusing on transcriptional regulation) are also great. It is due for an update though.

Book Description

Terry Pratchett's profoundly irreverent, bestselling novels have garnered him a revered position in the halls of parody next to the likes of Mark Twain, Kurt Vonnegut, Douglas Adams, and Carl Hiaasen.

In The Light Fantastic, only one individual can save the world from a disastrous collision. Unfortunately, the hero happens to be the singularly inept wizard Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world.

Customer Reviews:

Terry Pratchett is a master at plot, humor, characters, and satire.......2007-04-24

You can never go wrong, will never be disappointed, and I guarantee you'll laugh out loud when you read any book by Terry Pratchett. I scoured the internet to purchase all his books in hardback, now I've hooked my 20 year old on his books and I have to keep what's left of my collector's items hidden.

First book I read, "Witches Abroad". Favorite, "Monstrous Regiment."

You can turn a horrible day around with his satire on our world and culture. Better than Douglas Adams, which is a compliment because I love everything by Douglas Adams. I often answer questions with, "42."

Book Description

As it moves towards a seemingly inevitable collision with a malevolent red star, the Discworld has only one possible saviour. Unfortunately, this happens to be the singularly inept and cowardly wizard called Rincewind, who was last seen falling off the edge of the world...

Customer Reviews:

Great.......2007-09-17

This book lives up to all the noise regarding the Discworld series. Its humorous. Really funny - I'm not kidding. Its a great read because of its humor and because of its zany, quirky material - it isn't predictable. Rincewind and The Tourist (& Luggage) are back again and getting themselves involved in lots of trouble.

The best worst thing about the series (so far) is that it makes you want to make jokes and reference the silliness in the stories... which makes you seem insane to all your friends who have, unfortunately, not read the books! Needless to say, this one was memorable and enjoyable. Well worth the cover price.

Not Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

While not as funny as the first Discworld book, this follow-up is still pretty funny, and some of the Cohen the barbarian bits and other things like that definitely get a laugh.

Pratchett is continuing his Douglas Adams style fantasy rift, and it is pretty enjoyable, overall.

Glow of the Octavo.......2007-02-27

Octavo is the name Unseen University gives a book with eight of the most powerful spells in the universe. Seven these days, Rincewind the wizard has one of them stuck in his head...

Discworld #2 is "The Light Fantastic", first written in 1986. Goes pretty well straight after "The Colour of Magic" I think, as it has a lot of the same characters and plot points. Was listening to the Isis audiobook for this one (with Nigel Planer). Terry Pratchett's a bit wordy for me. Can see why he does it though. From what I've read, he's pretty passionate about the idea of storytelling, and the wordier it is, the more time spent with the storyteller. Guess so...

Discworld Decoded.......2007-01-31

Having introduced the Discworld to Roundworld readers with "The Colour of Magic", Terry Pratchett enhances our knowledge of it through this volume. New characters, previously unexplored regions of the Disc and deep questions about The Great A'Tuin almost garner answers. Rincewind, the failed wizard, is still acting as a guide to Discworld's first tourist, Twoflower. It's not always clear however, who's doing the leading and who the following. Twoflower, who is thrilled by everything and refuses to feel threatened by anything, absorbs all the novelty introduced to the reader. Through it all, Pratchett's delightful wit and innovative abilities keeps the reader's full attention. Only your laughter will interrupt the flow of narrative.

There's magic to this book, and no little magic in the story. Rincewind, having been catapulted over the Rim marking the edge of the Disc, inexplicably finds himself lodged in a pine tree. The entire universe has been rearranged to let him survive. Why should one timid outcast be so favoured? Twoflower, in a side gesture of cosmological justice, isn't far off. Rejoined, the pair struggle to find a way home to Ankh-Morpork. A sense of urgency over that return has appeared in the sky - and the Disc is likely to be destroyed soon.

Rincewind's role in changing the universe and coping with a "new star" that's appeared soon become apparent. As a student wizard, one of The Eight Great Spells entered his mind. Those spells are the glue holding the cosmos together. To survive, the Spell must keep Rincewind alive - not out of danger, but a survivor of many dire threats. Even Twoflower has noticed Rincewind's special role in life. The tourist has actually counted the number of Rincewind's near-death experiences. Those threats keep the wizard in a state of tense expectation. Rightly so, since there are yet more to come. Including the end of the world.

In their attempt to return, Rincewind and Twoflower encounter some fascinating characters. Perhaps the most engaging is the aging hero, Cohen the Barbarian, the Disc's Greatest Warrior. He, too, is a survivor, having long ago shed the notion of a "fair" fight. Fast with sword and knife, he knows the value of treasure, the delight in rescuing virgins, and the comforts of "soft lavatory paper". Trolls are encountered - those night creatures who live backward in time and who "suffer from philosophy". Yet, the Discworld isn't lodged in some parallel of the Roundworld's Middle Ages. There are computers and hardware consultants serving them. The Ring of Stones on the Vortex Plains "has gone down again" - a phrase every computer user will recognise. Who but Terry Pratchett could so successfully broker a liaison between such disparate concepts? And adapt from a hotly contested work about the meaning of the Stonehenge monoliths? **

There are other elements Pratchett considers in this tale. Death, who can be seen by wizards, joins the party to observe people's reaction to the new star. Death's perplexity is manifest at encountering humans who fear him, yet will subject themselves to a "death of the mind" almost without hesitation or reflection. Pratchett will keep you pondering many paths as you wend your way through this book. It's a delight to read Pratchett at any time, but taking up this book again after a long hiatus proved even more enlightening. [stephen a. haines - Ottawa, Canada]

** Note: for young folks who find this meaningless today, Gerald Hawkins published "Stonehenge Decoded" in 1965, explaining that chalk- and charcoal-filled pits at Stonehenge provided a "computer" to forecast eclipses.

No Bad Books.......2006-11-10

Terry Pratchett does not write bad books. They are clever, punny, and funny. I laugh out loud every few pages. Read Terry.
