Book Description
The ruination of investors in Enron, WorldCom, Waste Management, Aldelphia, Tyco and scores of other business concerns has raised questions about the adequacy and relevance of academic research into accounting ethics, as well as the ethical nature of professional parties.
This research collection includes important papers from key journals and books that reassess theories, research studies, and professional practices in the field of accounting ethics. In addition to examining the current crisis in the creditability of financial reports, many of the papers here work toward developing a body of knowledge that will protect the investing public in the future.

An Excellent Resource for Instructional Leaders.......2001-01-24
With today's increased employment of part-time faculty members, it is critical for institutions to install programming that maximizes their effectiveness. This book focuses on sound orientation practices, development of teaching and classroom management skills, ethical and legal issues, and other key factors impacting the success of adjunct faculty. It's a must for deans and department chairs who rely on part-time faculty members to deliver a significant component of their instruction.

Teaching Strategies and Techniques for Adjunct Faculty.......2007-03-09
This book was not too long and not too short. It was very helpful. I teach college level business courses at some of the local Community Colleges in my area and I found some helpful information in this book.

Thomas A. Dooley's 1956 bestseller, Deliver Us from Evil, "quite literally located Vietnam on the map," as this provocative critical biography puts it. Dooley's passionately anticommunist description of evacuating Catholic refugees from North Vietnam made him a Cold War celebrity and a particular hero to his fellow American Catholics, who had no idea he campaigned relentlessly for his glowing press and spent his spare time pursuing not-very- closeted homosexual affairs. The brief life (1927-61) of this fascinatingly complex character here gets the thoughtful assessment and rich historical context it deserves.

From Uruguay South America.......2000-03-15
I agree 100% with Mr. Steven Epstein's review (February 7, 2000), about Dr America: The Lives of Thomas A Dooley 1927-1961 by James Fisher
A great story in search of an author.......2000-02-07
The tale of Dr. Dooley is indeed worth telling but, sadly, this book misses the boat. The author is mired in arcane (and not terribly interesting) tales of intrigue among Catholic factions and almost lost me many times. And although this book is a biography, the author seems strangely ambivalent towards the good jungle doctor. You never get close to Dooley. Few evocative anecdotes. You get no feel for Laos. Reading it is liking eating dry toast.
Why does The Talented Mr. Ripley come to mind? I hope that someone will take another stab at writing about this remarkable man.
A fascinating story poorly organized and told........1998-07-20
Certainly a provocative and interesting story, however, little context is given to set the time regarding Asia, and the Cold War. Organization is deplorable, reflecting both huge gaps and many redundancies. Three notable nonsentences make me wonder why these guys publish without an editor.

Book Description
This book provides a detailed presentation of modern quantum theories for treating the reaction dynamics of small molecular systems. Its main focus is on the recent development of successful quantum dynamics theories and computational methods for studying the molecular reactive scattering process, with specific applications given in detail for a number of benchmark chemical reaction systems in the gas phase and the gas surface. In contrast to traditional books on collision in physics focusing on abstract theory for nonreactive scattering, this book deals with both the development and the application of the modern reactive or rearrangement scattering theory, and is written in a fashion in which the development of the reactive scattering theory is closely coupled with its computational aspects for practical applications for realistic molecular reactions. The volume includes such topics as methods for calculating rovibrational states of molecules, fundamental quantum theory for scattering (nonreactive and reactive), modern time-independent computational methods for reactive scattering, general time-dependent wave packet methods for reactive scattering, dynamics theory of chemical reactions, dynamics of molecular fragmentation, semiclassical description of quantum mechanics, and also some useful appendices.
The book is intended for the reader to not only understand the molecular reaction dynamics from the fundamental scattering theory, but also utilize the provided computational methodologies in their practical applications. It should benefit graduate students and researchers in the field of chemical physics.

This edition provides a prose rendering of The Epic of Gilgamesh, the cycle of poems preserved on clay tablets surviving from ancient Mesopotamia of the third mi llennium B.C. One of the best and most important pieces of epic poetry from human history, predating even Homer's Iliad by roughly 1,500 years, the Gilgamesh epic tells of the various adventures of that hero-king, including his quest for immortality, and an account of a great flood similar in many details to the Old Testament's story of Noah. The translator also provides an interesting and useful introduction explaining much about the historical context of the poem and the archeological discovery of th e tablets.

It was horrible........2007-08-07
I had to read it for a summer reading book. It was horrible. I mean, who wants to read all about the Ancient Sumarians?
Yet another Gilgamesh........2007-07-24
I was reading these thirty-some reviews of The Epic of Gilgamesh, starting the old Sanders one in prose, which isn't half bad. Almost none of translations and/or reditions (translation made from other translations, rather than from the original Akkadian in cuneiform alphabet)...none are really bad, but you certainly can get different slants on the story, and twisted episodes, and missed tone, and so on.
The scholarly translations by Assyriologists (A.George, Foster, Kovacs, Dalley, and so on) are usually too scholarly, and interrupt the read with all the problems that still abound. (Almost a third of the epic is still missing, for example.) The renditions, poets and wanna-be's like Jackson and Ferry, tend to wander off into their own thing; John Gardner (Grendel) included: he's sexy, but he ain't Sin-leqi-unnini (the supposed 'Homer' of the version found in an ancient library in 600 BC). Stephen Mitchell, a great Rilke translator, doesn't let on that he doesn't really read the Akkadian, so that's a rendition without your knowing whose versions he worked from. There's a lot of fudging going on in the Gilgamesh racket. It's a whole sub-story to the epic itself, and almost as much fun.
But if you wanted to get as close to the original text as possible, dig up the 1948 translation by Alexander Heidel (whose text seems sympathetically ancient: the book's typeface makes it look like a dissertation from that era, font by Underwood). But Heidel is closest to what the original sounds like: The Gilgamesh Epic and Old Testament Parellels: "A translation and interpretation of the Gilgamesh Epic and related Babylonian and Assyrian documents."
But really everyone named above, and maybe three times that many in print today, all take it beyond Heidel's crude (albeit with an ancient beauty, almost like an artifact) level, but I think they all err, in going too far, or not far enough, or getting too far from the original, or just keeping a good read going. The politics of getting to the original tablets, by the bye, and the technology of reading the ancient clay fragments covered in cuneiform script three to four thousand years old, is a worthwhile epic in itself. There are 'Gilgamesh wars' out there that you'll never hear about, having to do with careers, withheld translations, transcriptions, etc. And why not, the stakes aren't really that small: this is the very first of work of literature, predating Homer by a thousand years and much longer if you look at earlier versions, the Old Babylonian and the Sumerian mess. Why indeed not lock in the 'definitive translation'?
But enough of human ambition; one final suggestion: if you want to read a version that stays quite close to the original, whatever that is/was, but brings the sensory dimension up to modern taste, and teases out a good deal of the humor that's arguably in the original but which most translations miss, then I'm pleased to inform you that there is yet one more Gilgamesh cropping up in of all places, at Lulu dot com, as a graphic novel. The cartoonist has added his own humor--it feels like/looks like it's for 14 year olds some of the time--but he's also brought out the intrinsic humor of the original, has certainly rendered the scenes vividly, keeps his own contribution distinct from 'the original', and the text for the pure epic reads as well as the best ones above and keeps the reader forefront, not the scholarship. Check it out at Lulu.
Qualifier: It's not finished, but two out of three installments are there, through about Tablet IX (a total of 12), where Enkidu falls sick and then Gilgamesh sets out bereft and alone on his quest for immortality, learning lots of secrets as he goes, including that of the story of the Flood. This is Noah's arc, but written down some one to two millenium before Genesis. When one George Smith first cracked the code, in the 1872, there were riots. It was Darwin all over again, to the literalists of faith, of which there were then as now, many.
A neat new book (2006) on all that is out, listed here in amazon: David Damrosch's The Buried Book: The Loss and Rediscovery of the Great Epic of Gilgamesh.
Back to the graphic version:
A comic book reviewer, former editor at DC Comics, one 'Occasional Superheroine,' begins a pretty favorable revew with something like: Ancient Sumeria meets Krum... This is about right: the epic bleeds through in all its strength and Sumerian-Babylonian wonder and feeling, and the cartoons provide a tongue-in-cheek commentary that's much more sophisticated than it at first appears, with its Ally-Oop hero and his hirsute side-kick. The Bull of Heaven, the giant monster Humbaba, Shamhat and Enkidu out there on the steppes unchaperoned, spoiled little vindictive Ishtar... it's really worth a gander.
Curious note: the artist and writer seem to be brothers, or a father-son team. And in the interest of Full Disclosure, one of them's me!
Occasional Superheroine recommends it; so do I.

the beggining.......2007-02-13
Almost five thousand years ago. It is unthinkable. To comprehend that ancient time, one would need knowledge and power of imagination that would be no easy to measure or value. Even than, one couldn't possibly be any nearer that time. It is shrouded in mystery.
Origins of entire history of literature, of written words/worlds, emerge from these tablets. And here we find first (written) quest for immortality. And tragedy which is found in fact that that quest cannot ever be successful. That man is forever compelled to roam that vast universe of his, and to raise his voice in vain, constantly fighting for something that is as far away as things can be.
Gilgamesh is a real beaut. Of it's style, importnace, structure numerous books have been written. But those are reserved for scholars and for those of you out there who are burning with desire to know. Gilgamesh greatness lies in a simple fact. It lies in realising that it doesn't matter how far have we gone in comprehending world around us, or how much we advanced technologically. However far we may have traveled, when facing this book, we learned that we are still troubled, and still defined by the same troubles heroes of old had been. What does that teach us? You'll have to answer that one for yourself.
Of this translation I don't know nothing. I haven't actually read it. My comment concernes Gilgames corpus itself. Sorry 'bout that :)
Outstanding presentation of a world treasure.......2006-10-21
N. K. Sandars' presentation of Gilgamesh is an outstanding achievement of editing, interpretation, and paraphrase. "Paraphrase" rather than translation, because she admits that she is unable to read the cuneiform in which the epic was written over four thousand years ago; instead she's compared all the literal scholarly editions available and turned them into very readable and moving English prose. This was easily the finest version for the nonspecialist reader when it was published in 1960, and to my mind it remains unsurpassed.
Readers primarily interested in the cultural background of Gilgamesh will want to look at more recent scholarship, but for the rest of us Sandars's rendition of the text is as powerfully engaging as when it first appeared.
Though tyhe original Gilgamesh is a verse epic, and Sandars writes prose, readers looking for the intensity of poetry will find it here, in what's really a splendid "prose poem." In fact, Sandars's prose strikes me as more, not less, satisfying than David Ferry's currently popular verse translation, which is competent but, to my mind, rather lackluster.
Although Penguin has issued a newer translation in verse by Andrew George, I hope they keep N. K. Sandars's version in print. It's brilliantly done.
The origins of civilization.......2006-07-14
This poem is perhaps the oldest "book" known so far. It is supposed to have been first conceived by the end of the Third Millenium B.C. It tells, in a direct and somewhat naive way, the adventures of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, in Mesopotamia. In the beginning we are told of how Gilgamesh got to be king, and how he felt lonely, since he lacked a friend worthy of him. The gods listen to him, and tell him to send a whore to seduce Enkidu, a savage man who lives with the beasts and behaves as such. He is the "good savage", totally in a natural state and without a civilizatory stain. It is chilling to think of this particular story as an ancient memory of our life in pre-civilization times. The prostitute manages to seduce him (any resemblance to Adam and Eve is granted), and then the beasts reject him. He has become fully human. This passage is a wonderful metaphore of the civilizatory process which we humans experienced in immemorial ages. Enkidu has to learn to drink milk from a jar and not directly from the breasts of animals. He has to learn to wear clothes, drink wine and sleep on a bed.
Enkidu fights Gilgamesh, showing him his strength and courage, which makes him the inseparable friend. After that, Gilgamesh feels the urgency to leave his legacy in this world before his inevitable death, another humanizing feature, since the individual already shows a full conscience of his mortality and of himself, and thinks of the future. So, both friends depart for the Woods, presumably current Lebanon (the Cedar Forest), where Ancient Mesopotamians got their timber, so scarce in their country. To conquer the Woods, they must kill the giant Humbaba, guardian of the forest, incarnation of Evil and presumably the first reference to the Devil in literature. In doing so they infuriate all the gods except one, and one of them must die. This is how Enkidu gets sick and dies after an excruciating agony. This fact turns out to be devastating for Gilgamesh, because it confirms the inevitability of his own demise. Ravaged by his friend's death, Gilgamesh sets out on a journey to try and find a way to escape from mortality. He travels to the East, beyond the mountains, to the Country of Sun, to try to cross the Sea and reach the land of Dilmun (kind of a preserved Garden of Eden), where Utnapishtim lives, the only human to have survived the Flood (it raises your hair to see a reference to this cataclism, centuries before the Bible), and consequently granted immortality by the gods. Gilgamesh reaches the "garden by the sea" where a young female vineyard tender lives. She tells him frankly that he will never find what he's looking for, since Death is unavoidable. It is humans' Fate, but to humans it has also been granted the possibility of happiness, and so the girl advises him to "fill your belly with good things... have fun and rejoice. Wear clean clothes, bathe in fresh water, caress yout little cildren and embrace and make your woman happy", for that is also the Fate of Man. Gilgamesh can't give up and convinces the oarsman to take him to Dilmun. Utnapishtim, puzzled, receives him and tells him he'll live forever if he stays awake six days and seven nights. Of course he can't make it, and when he wakes up Utnapishtim tells him the story of the Flood, suprisingly and suspiciously similar to that told later in the hebrew Genesis (let's not forget the long years of Hebrew exile in Babilonia). Gilgamesh makes a final effort, ripping from the bottom of the sea the "plant that gives you your youth back" but later, while bathing in a well, a snake steals the plant, changes skin and leaves. Unconsoled, Gilgamesh returns to Uruk and dies.
It is difficult to exaggerate the historical and literary importance of this work, since in its brief span it collects all that makes us human: civilization, glory, the conscience of Death. It also gathers primeval memories, the process of going out of the African plains and building cities, the search for supplies and the fear of the beasts of the forests. The tale of the Flood confirms for us the memory of cosmic catastrophes which since the remote past left an indelible mark upon us. Indispensable reading.

Book Description
At the start of her senior year in high school, Sara wants two things: to get into a top college and to find true love.Tobey also wants two things for his senior year: to win Battle of the Bands and to make Sara fall in love with him. However, a popular jock named Dave moves in on Sara first. But Tobey's quirky wit and big blue eyes are hard for Sara to ignore. Plus, he gets the little things that matter to her. Can a slacker rock-star wannabe win the heart of a pretty class brain like Sara?
Hilariously and movingly told through Tobey and Sara's authentic voices, Susane Colasanti's debut novel sizzles in its portrayal of two young people searching for The One.
Customer Reviews:
When it happens gets it right.......2007-09-15
***spoiler alert/parental note***
From my perspective, Colasanti sends the right message to teens. Don't have sex until you are sure that it is the right person, you are in love with them, you trust them, you feel comfortable with them, you are ready, and you are protected from unwanted pregnancy. If you do that, then your first time can be beautiful. (The book doesn't suggest that the first time is pure bliss. Sara's girlfriend had already warned her that it does hurt at first when the boy enters you.)
Yes, Tobey and Sara make love. It is not described at all. However, there is an earlier scene where Tobey's father barges in when they are on Tobey's bed and Sara is on top of him wearing only her bra and panties. The father just apologizes.
When It Happens.......2007-08-22
This was a good debut novel... not the best, but definitely something that will keep me interested in other novels by this author. I liked this book because it was funny and it kept me entertained. The characters had realistic problems. My only problem with this book is that it seemed to jump around a lot. Still, I liked it.
Best Book Ever.......2007-08-13
This book is really something else. I read it in less than two days. The characters are beautiful and wonderfully portrayed. This is a must read.
A bright & brilliant book.......2007-07-31
Susane Colasanti's novel is a brilliant, sensuous trip through the psyches of its characters. I read it on the train and I was sorry when I reached my stop with a few chapters to go. The dual first-person narrative generates great empathy for the protagonists. Highly recommended.
One of the Best Books I Have Ever Read.......2007-04-26
My friend gave me this book, and i finshed it in one day. I love this book because Sara and Tobey act the same way that real teenagers would in this situation. I'm glad that Sara and Tobey got together, even though they were total opposites. The yin-yang symbol was great, i'm glad she used it in the book because it shows how people can be different when you first look at them, but they actually fit together nicely!
Book Description

The first two books I have read for entertainment purposes in its entirety!!!!!!!!.......2007-07-02
A friend of mine passed The Root of All Evil along to me and it took me month to pick it up to read. But once I started and finished it, I went online and purchsed When Souls Mate the very same day. (my first book purchase ever) I was dreaming about the characters until I got the second book, and I finished it within 24 hours. I enjoyed reading every page of both books. Now I have a circle friends reading and I am dying to wait for their responses. I did a lot of laughing, and she almost brought me to tears. I am still in shock about the identity of Heather's real father. (I won't tell you about it, please read both books)
WOW!.......2007-06-27
I just couldn't wait to read this novel, after having read "The Root of all Evil". This book is CRRRRAAAZY! I loved it. I felt every single type of emotion possible. When you least expect it, you get the surprise of a life time. There is a little bit of everything in this story and that makes it so fun to read. Many times I was left with my mouth open, MANY times. This is a wonderful continuation and I wouldn't have wanted it to end any other way. The only thing is, I think I'm in love with Hydrant! Lol. Enjoy.

Reo and Klarke are back! I fell in love with these characters in THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL and couldn't wait for the sequel. I was by no means disappointed. The very end turned slightly fairytalish, but that didn't take away from this great book. Excellent follow-up. Joylynn is an extremely talented and gifted storyteller.

Book Description
Steve Gunn was born in England in 1956 and now lives in Florida, where he works full time as a psychic medium and author. Although gifted from an early age, experiencing a life-changing soul connection brought him to dedicate his work to the metaphysical arts and, particularly, to understanding soul connections. As he struggled to find his own answers, his clientele increasingly centered on those in soul mate situations, many of whom contributed their stories. In working on hundreds of cases, he realized that most didn't actually fit the traditional thinking and theories, leaving many people utterly confused about their connections. He recognized the need for a new work to really explain the truth behind the mechanisms of soul connections and set out to create a self-help guide with lots of practical advise for anyone experiencing the awesome power of the soul connection.
