Alternate Problems, Volume 2, Chapters 15-25 for use with Financial & Managerial Accounting: A Basis for Business Decisions

Book Description

"In her systems approach to supervision, the author presents a unique system of clinical supervision developed with her colleagues over years of experience as supervisors of psychologists in training. . . . The book is written in a 'reader-friendly' manner and is both theoretical and practical. The prose is clear; the charts are easily decipherable. Research findings are separated onto single pages interspersed throughout pertinent sections and printed in darker shades to draw the eye. The various levels of the supervisory session (transcript, recall, interview, analysis) are placed in columns side by side for easy comparison. The author has succeeded in dissecting the complex instructional strategy of modeling counseling task, function, and skill within the supervisory relationship. Her work is a valuable complement to the existing body of literature." --Susan B. DeVaney in Counseling Today "The book uses a range of interesting transcipts to illustrate points together with providing up-to-date research information on subjects such as trainee learning needs, supervisor and trainee gender, institutional factors and supervisor experience, to mention but a few. A thought-provoking book and one which I would recommend as profitable reading for those engaged in or considering becoming engaged in the field of supervision." --Gladeana McMahon in BPS Counselling

Just what I needed!.......2007-07-08

This is a great review book. It isn't swarming in details and really outlines the high yield stuff for step 2 without being overwhelming. Format is similar to a text book...but there are lots of memorization charts that are helpful.

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!.......2006-11-30

This book is amazing. I used for the USMLE Step 2 CK and get a 220. I used with the First Aid, because this book has different information than the FA. I highly recomend to read chapter 29-34 a couple of time they are very helpful.
Good Luck!!!!!

Well presented chapter but .............2006-11-06

If you are looking to add further information to this book ( as is needed from other sources ) the fact that the contents are not in alphabetical order might waste allot of time flipping back and forth and on every occassion having to look to the content table. Unlike First Aid, where the contents are in alphbetical order ( ex: Cardiovascular, Dermatology, Endocrine .... etc.). If it was alphabetical it would allow for faster and more efficient stydying as is needed in preperation of a Step exam. Best of luck.

useful book.......2006-08-07

The format is excellent. Concise and easy to read; a lot of pertinent information for the step 2 preparation.

great book.......2006-07-10

everything it claims to be, and a great brush up before step 2.

Book Description

The book covers the most recent ideas about the nature and dynamics of comets, including a thorough discussion on Oort cloud dynamics which has not received due attention in other books on the subject. It also discusses the most relevant aspects of the physics and chemistry of comet nuclei, highlighting their importance as relics of the protoplanetary disk and, perhaps, as carriers of water and organics that permitted the development of life on Earth. The book contains several tables with useful data, and an ample bibliography covering the most recent work as well as some historical key contributions to the subject. It may be suitable as a textbook for graduate students with some basic knowledge of celestial mechanics and astrophysics, as well as a consult book for comet researchers, or researchers from other related fields willing to start working on comets, or get an updated view of the subject.

Book Description

This book is a collection of some of the invited talks presented at the international meeting held at the Max Planck Institut fuer Physik Komplexer Systeme, Dresden, Germany during August 6-30, 2001, on the rapidly developing field of nanoscale science in science and bio-electronics Semiconductor physics has experienced unprecedented developments over the second half of the twentieth century. The exponential growth in microelectronic processing power and the size of dynamic memorie has been achieved by significant downscaling of the minimum feature size. Smaller feature sizes result in increased functional density, faster speed, and lower costs. In this process one is reaching the limits where quantum effects and fluctuations are beginning to play an important role.
This book reflects the achievements of the present times and future directions of research on nanoscopic dimensions.

Star-studded and with something for every sexual taste and curiosity

Famous for taking her readers to undiscovered places, Susie Bright has changed the rules for writing about sex. Erotica is no longer under-the-covers reading; it's thrilling literature that showcases the best writing around.

In Best American Erotica 2006, Bright chooses stories that toy with desire in excerpts from some of the most sexually charged and fearless writing of the year. John Updike's story recalls his narrator's first love and how they began to have sex. David Sedaris takes us into his strip poker card room. Tom Perrotta portrays a bored married man whose wife busts him as he navigates his Internet swinger life. Helen Walsh's diary shows a college student in England who drifts from a promis-ing academic career into the arms of prostitutes.

In Best American Erotica 2006, today's most popular writers add their voices to a collection for any reader -- straight, gay, curious -- seeking memorable sex and riveting storytelling.

Customer Reviews:

I hate this book!!!.......2006-09-08

I was really hoping for some sexy reading here, but there was NOTHING in here that got me turned on. Just kind of confused! There was hardly any sex in this book, just lots of talking. I think i got excited maybe twice throughout the whole thing. Maybe some people would find the stories here erotic, but NOT ME. Where are the steamy scenes? Not in this stupid book. I would not reccommend this unless you are kinky and into unconventional sex and erotica. Hey, maybe i am completely wrong here, and i know nothing about erotica, but i thought erotica was about sexy situations!

A fun time was had by all!.......2006-07-18

I bought this for my boyfriend for fathers day. He loved it. We took turns reading the different stories to each other. Most of the stories were great, although a few went into areas of sexuality that didn't do much for either one of us. There was a great variety, however, and I think probably a story for everyone. Highly recommended!

Won't be to everyone's taste but does contain plenty of variety.......2006-02-22

There ought to be at least a few selections in here to please nearly everyone - along with some that only a select few will truly enjoy. I give credit to the the compiler that she included not only some well known authors but a few lesser knowns as well.

Call me a prude but some of the selections went beyond my "comfort zone". I like pushing the boundaries (who wants the "same old, same old"?) but there were some selections that I just couldn't relate to, including a story about an encounter with a transvestite. Not to my taste.

But that is really a minor quibble. All in all, there IS plenty of good erotica here, although much of it is NOT traditional. It reflects the gender bending and alternative sexuality of our times, crossing boundaries, etc.

If you're open to that, this one is worth a look.

Read, Love, and Learn.......2006-01-23

1. Every year, Susie Bright attempts to orchestrate an ensemble of stories that represent every taste, or almost every taste, but that's an impossible feat, as demonstrated by reviews of pervious collections. Another thing to note is Susie solicits nominations for each year's collection, so I hope reader/reviewers at Amazon will nominate selections for upcoming editions of BAE.

2. The job of a writer is to entertain readers while holding a mirror to the society he or she lives in-which can make a lot of people uncomfortable. Writers of erotica or writers whose work appears in erotica collections are no exception-or shouldn't be. Erotica is fluid and multi-dimensional, like all literature, and the writers whose work appear in Best American Erotica 2006 offer the complexity of our human condition, sexuality included. BRAVO!

While every single story in this book is good, I have my favorites: "Mille," "Under the House," "Full House," "Drunkie's Surprise," "Ukiyo," "The Clay Man," and "The Nasty Kind Always Are."

The last mentioned, written by Steve Almond, dick-lit maestro that he is, made me gasp at the end. Almond created a story that manages to be social satire while also being downright sexy-and in this case, shocking. I was taken aback.

Sera Gamble's "The Clay Man" is now one of my favorite short stories in the world. I first heard about The Golem watching X-Files. He came up again in graduate school. I intend to read Gamble's story again and again to figure out how it works so well. Let me just say the premise is clever, the protagonist is intriguing, the relationship between the two sisters is complex, and the writing is really-really good. The overall implications of the story venture into deep, uncomfortable terrain.

"Ukiyo," by Donna George Storey, is another well written story that is lush with eroticism and Japanese culture. What I loved best about this story was its ability to take me somewhere I'd never been and experience customs I knew nothing about-all through a writing professor protagonist.

I'm not sure where Susie Bright found Kweli Walker, but I'm grateful she did. Who knew "gumming" a man could make for such a fun and sexy read. The voice in Kweli's story is bawdy and bold, and I loved the mentoring relationship that takes place between the protagonist and the stripper. Excellent stuff!

"Full House is another terrific read by a terrific writer. David Sedaris is always marvelous.

"Under the House" is another story that takes readers to dark and disturbing terrain. Its subject matter pushes the envelope and blurs the line between right and wrong, taboo/socially acceptable, and I dig ambiguity like this. The writing, again, is terrific. Actually "Under the House" is an excerpt from a novel, The Curse of the Inappropriate Man, by the writer, Lynn Freed, which I plan to get sooner than later.

Last but not least, "Mille" is another novel excerpt from Helen Walsh's, Brass, and the excerpt reads as beautifully as a prose poem. I finished reading it then went back and read it again right away.

In fact, I've no doubt I'll read several of the stories in Best American Erotica 2006 again, not only for the sheer enjoyment but to learn something as well.
Peace.

Book Description

Best Gay Erotica 2006 is a cornucopia of searing man-sex. From the languid, Bolero-paced striptease of a magnificently buff lover in James Williams’s “The End” to the fevered gropings of a skater boy and a pink-haired goth in “DogBoy and the BetaGoth” by Nadyalec Hijazi and Ben Blackthorne, Best Gay Erotica holds something for every wicked taste. In Jeff Mann’s “Daddy Dave,” a lover awakens his gentle new partner’s dominant side by letting him witness a master's skillful savagery. Steven Zeeland’s “Trouble Loves Me” maps a porn director’s odyssey through a vivid underworld of bad boy marines, sailors, and submariners. Edited by Richard Labonté and selected and introduced by the inimitable Matt Bernstein Sycamore, Best Gay Erotica 2006 furthers the series’ reputation for gorgeous storytelling and hot, no-holds-barred sex between men. The book also features an excerpt from Dennis Cooper’s new novel The Sluts.

HOT and Smart!!! .......2006-01-18

I don't usually read Best Gay Erotica, but I saw that Mattilda a.k.a. Matt Bernstein Sycamore was the editor this year and I rushed out to get a copy (he wrote Pulling Taffy, which drove me wild). On the back cover, Sycamore says, "this book is dangerous and lovely, just like you," and he does not disappoint. I was surprised at the amazing variety of stories, from a teenager having sex with Allen Ginsberg to bathroom cruising that takes on more meaning than you can imagine, to military sex with a TV screen. Be sure to check out stories by Kirk Read, Trebor Healey, Thorn Kief Hillsbery, and Steve Zeeland, and Sycamore's incredible introduction. There's so much variety here, and what's especially impressive is the high quality, creativity and nonstop energy of the writing.
