Depends where you're coming from.......2004-10-15

As a complete novice to accounting concepts I bought this book because I wanted to understand what type of information I need to track as a freelance professional services provider. I read all of Part 1 (several chapters) and can't say I know more than I did when I started. If you want to understand the difference between cash & accrual methods, the reason for single or double entry, the purpose of income statements, or how bookkeeping can help you as a management tool, look around at some other books before buying this sight unseen.

GREATEST BOOK !!!.......2004-01-15

If you want to run your business instead of your business running you - THIS IS A MUST READ!!!
This book will really keep you on top of your dollars and truly understand how to set up & keep your books.
Can't wait for the rest of the series to come out !!!!!

Essential Read!!.......2003-09-06

This book really helped me set up my books properly. I had really made a mess of them up until now. It also teaches me the lingo of accounting so I don't feel like such an idiot talking to my accountant!

Book Description

This classic text for MBA programs offers balanced coverage of concepts, methods, and uses of managerial accounting with an increasingly strong emphasis on management decision-making. This approach helps focus on concepts and managerial uses of financial information rather than techniques of cost accounting. The current edition emphasizes international issues, strategic effects of decisions, ethics, and new management accounting trends. Also emphasized are process improvement, integration of financial reporting issues for management decision-making, and application of managerial accounting tools to the emerging service sector, government, and nonprofits in examples and problem material.

Not outstanding........2007-02-28

I feel the authors have covered the topic well. As a read, I thought the text was written as good as an accounting can be.

The problem I shared with my classmates is that there was difficulty completing the exercises at the ends of the chapters. We feel maybe two reasons for this: first, the problems often could not be solved without looking forward to the chapters not yet covered; and second, specific details needed to solve problems were either not there or organized in an unfamiliar way. This required asking many questions with the instructor and classmates to try to complete the exercises.

Overall, though, I suppose this is on par with other texts on the topic. The book we liked the best was "Accounting: what the numbers mean" as it was written & organized very well; and the exercises were very effective.

Book Description

How do students learn astronomy? Can the World-Wide Web be used to teach effectively? In what ways do planetariums help with educating the public? These are just some of the timely questions addressed in this stimulating review of new trends in the teaching of astronomy. Based on an international meeting hosted by the University of London and the Open University (IAU Colloquium 162), this volume presents articles by experts from around the world. Teachers experienced in teaching astronomy at all levels, in Europe, North America, South America, South Africa, the former Soviet Union, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand provide a global perspective on: university education, distance learning and electronic media, how students learn, the planetarium in education, public education in astronomy, and astronomy in schools. The proceedings of the first IAU Colloquium (105), The Teaching of Astronomy, edited by Percy and Pasachoff, were first published by Cambridge in 1990 and soon became established as the definitive resource for astronomy teachers. Astronomy education has advanced enormously in the intervening seven years, and this sequel will inspire and encourage teachers of astronomy at all levels and provide them with a wealth of ideas and experience on which to build.

Book Description

The only comprehensive review of multicomponent polymer theory and applications

Polymeric Multicomponent Materials is the first comprehensive review of the field to appear since the author's 1976 classic, Polymer Blends and Composites. As such, it is an indispensable resource for professionals and graduate students alike in polymer science and engineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, physics, and mechanical engineering.

The book begins with a review of essential terms, concepts, theories, and experimental facts and procedures concerning polymer-polymer and polymer-nonpolymer combinations. This material is followed by a series of chapters focusing on the relatively new subfield that has developed around polymer surfaces and interfaces. In the final section, the author covers a wide range of engineering polymer materials and systems.

Emphasizing synthesis and mechanical behavior throughout, Professor Sperling treats all relevant chemical and physical aspects of both thermoplastics and thermosets. He provides in-depth coverage of most polymeric multicomponent materials currently being synthesized, including toughened plastics, reinforced elastomers, polymer blends, interpenetrating polymer networks, graft and block copolymers, and reinforcing and filling agents. He also explores a broad array of specific applications, including those for impact-resistant plastics, structural composites, coatings, carbon black reinforced elastomers, and fiber reinforced plastics.

Polymeric Multicomponent Materials is certain to be the standard text/reference in the field well into the next century.

Better wavelet books out there.......2004-11-30

This book is divided into two sections: Time Frequency and Wavelets. Sadly, Shie Qian does not provide comprehensiveness in either subject, nor does he add to the knowledge base. I was expecting a more "cookbook" introductory approach to wavelets, but alas, for naught. To add insult to injury, there is not a hardcover version available to date. For shame.

My recommendations:
1. If you want to learn Time-Frequency analysis (windowed Fourier Transforms, Wigner-Ville ala Cohen's Class) -- download the Rice Time-Frequency Toolbox(for Matlab) and associated documentation. It's free, and the tutorials are outstanding. Not to mention, Qian seems to make liberal usage of it the book in question.

2a. For the electrical engineer, find a book that approaches wavelets by either branching off of Fourier Theory(provides a grounding in orthogonal, separable bases) or via subband coding(which correlates with the computation of wavelet transforms). Mallat's Wavelet Tour of Signal Processing is pretty good.

2b. For the math wiz(or those engineers with masochistic tendencies), find something with an angle on Riesz frames and bases. Avoid subband coding like the plague if you're not into block diagrams. A good start is Daubechies 10 Lectures on Wavelets, or anything through Birkhauser publishing.

An excellent book on signal processing.......2002-05-29

This book studies the two signal properties we are most interested in, time and frequency. Unlike other books, which usually concentrate on one topic of advanced signal processing, this book covers both time-frequency and wavelet analysis. The author organizes these topics in a clear structure with vivid English. The reviews at the beginning of every chapter are very
helpful for readers. Before I have this book, I read some mathematics books on wavelet analysis that were difficult to understand. The author explains the theories not only mathematically but also physically. Thus, this book gives me great help during my research on vibration and noise control,
modal analysis and acoustical signal processing. I strongly recommend this book to those who study signal processing.

An excellent book on signal processing.......2002-05-28

A Friendly Guide to Time-Frequency Analysis.......2002-05-23

The aim of time-frequency analysis is to describe how the frequency or spectral content of a signal evolves. For engineers, scientists, and mathematicians, this self-contained book brings together the methods that have been developed to study time-varying spectra, and presents in simple language the physical and mathematical ideas, their origin and motivation, and the challenges of the field. The book is written clearly and well by a leading researcher
in the area of time-frequency analysis.
I would strongly recommend this book to anyone
with an interest in the field of signal processing.

An excellent guide to time frequency and wavelet analysis.......2002-01-15

This book is very successful in setting out the uses of time frequency analysis and wavelet transforms, employing interesting examples of their applications throughout. Starting from a nice discussion of Fourier transforms, it develops an intuitively appealing presentation of time variant filters, the wavelet transform and the Wigner-Ville distribution. The mathematics is clearly presented without unduly simplifying the proofs or concepts involved. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone with an interest in the field of signal processing.

Well presented , well orginized and broad coverage.......2000-06-27

Dr. Rao's approach to the Wavelet Transform takes a less traditional method to the study of this complex field. His text starts with a firm development of the fundamentals. This provides a secure foundation for the intermediate level topics to follow. He ends the book with some complex developments and new directions taken by the transform. His approach is mathematical but never looses sight of the practicality of the transform. Applications and examples are peppered throughout the text to provide the reader with reinforcing tools. Relevant exercises and projects are also provided along with Matlab routines to perform most of the topics discussed. A great text and a valuable reference. Attention is paid to the development of Filter Banks and the relationship to the Wavelet Transform. A background in Digital Filtering is recommended to any reader. Wavelet Packets are discussed along with topics in Image Compression, Denoising, Edge and Object Detection and general Wavelet Filter Design.

First easy to read book on Wavelets.......1999-10-22

This book has been written in an easy to read and understand fashion without compromising on the fundamentals. If you wonder what wavelets can do, or what they are, start with this book. Highly recommended for anyone who is starting to learn about wavelets.

Book Description

Night is one of the masterpieces of Holocaust literature. First published in 1960, it is the autobiographical account of an adolescent boy and his father in Auschwitz. Wiesel writes of their battle for survival, and of his battle with God for a way to understand the wanton cruelty he witnesses each day.

In the short novel Dawn (1961), a young man who has survived the Second World War and settled in Palestine is apprenticed to a Jewish terrorist gang. Command to execute a British officer who has been taken hostage, the former victim becomes an executioner.

In The Accident, (1962), Wiesel again turns to fiction to question the limits of the spirit and the self: Can Holocaust survivors forge a new life without the memories of the old? As the author writes in his introduction, "In Night it is the 'I' who speaks; in the other two [narratives], it is the 'I' who listens and questions."

Wiesel's trilogy offers meditations on mankind's attraction to violence and on temptation of self-destruction.

A Hill & Wang Teacher's Guide is available for this title.

Night is moving.......2006-07-02

This was one bound volume of Wiesel's first three books, which concern the Holocaust, survival, and humanity. Night is Wiesel's personal memoir, which relates his personal story before and during World War II, as he and his father are separated from his mother and sister and interned in a series of concentration camps. Dawn is the story of a member of the movement to free Palestine from British occupation and Day concerns how one could move from a past that consumes one's every thought (or even if one should).

Quote: "Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never."

I read Night in high school, and always think of it as being a particularly long book, which it is not. Wiesel manages to pack more than I would think possible into a little over a hundred pages, which relates the story of himself and his family during the Holocaust. It is a beautifully written work that relates a terrible story. I found the story of Wiesel's loss of faith and the relationship he had with his father particularly memorable. If you somehow missed this in high school, pick it up, if you didn't, find it again. It's worth it. Dawn and Day are not as catching as the first work, but are still interesting in their own way.

Life after Death........2006-06-10

Elie Wiesel won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986, for his tireless work in addressing the Holocaust, wrestling with its almost incomprehensible moral questions, and most importantly working to ensure that it never happens again. NIGHT, his memoir of his own experiences in Auschwitz and Buchenwald, was perhaps the earliest first-hand account to be widely published. Totally authentic, written in blood and tears, it quite defies criticism. To assign four, five, or even ten stars to it would be an obscenity.

And yet Wiesel followed NIGHT by two very short fictional works, novellas rather than novels, called DAWN and DAY. Clearly he wanted to explore issues that could not be addressed in a factual memoir. And these two later books are fascinating in showing Wiesel's first steps as a novelist, rapidly gaining confidence and skill. In this respect alone, I feel that criticism is indeed germane.

We all know the advice to writers: show, don't tell. You can see Wiesel encountering the issue even in NIGHT, which is a mixture of simply reported facts and personal reflection. When he is simply telling his own story, the facts stand by themselves, and even at this date reveal aspects of the Holocaust that I did not understand: for example, why the Jewish communities did not move more proactively to resist their fate, and details of the social interactions among the camp inmates themselves. Occasionally the personal reflections get in the way of relating events, and yet how else is the author to tackle his loss of faith and feelings of guilt which seem to have been a heavier burden than any physical indignities? Wiesel's answer was to turn to fiction.

In his preface to DAWN, Wiesel makes it clear that the protagonist, Elisha, is not the author himself, although he admits that it easily might have been, had he been sent to Palestine rather than France after his liberation from Buchenwald. The fictional Elisha is recruited by freedom fighters trying to oust the British and form the state of Israel. After taking part in several guerilla actions, he is ordered to execute a hostage, a British army captain, in reprisal for the hanging of a Jew. The whole of this slim volume takes place in the night before the execution, and poses the question of whether a man who has escaped the hands of killers can ever be justified in becoming a killer himself. The theme is clearly important, and once more topical, but I cannot say that it works as a novel. The fictional background is sketchy and seems constructed with the sole purpose of presenting this dilemma. A large section of the book is devoted to Elisha's dialogue with ghosts from this past, which further diminishes reality. After a few pages, Wiesel stops showing Elisha through his deeds and social interactions, and concentrates instead on the moral dilemma in his soul; in novelistic terms, the result is to reduce rather than enhance the character's humanity. The book thus comes over less as a novel than as a parable.

DAY (originally published in English as THE ACCIDENT), Wiesel's second attempt at writing a fictional sequel to NIGHT is altogether more successful. This is partly because its theme is less absolute and more subtle: the difficulty of returning to a full loving life for somebody who has lived so long in the realm of death. His quasi-autobiographical protagonist (Eliezer, but the name is mentioned only once) is a rounded character with much depth. The book follows him as he recovers in a New York hospital from a near-fatal encounter with a taxicab. Although we still hear his inner thoughts, his situation is shown primarily in terms of his very real relationships with others, particularly his lover Kathleen. He has clearly led a varied and somewhat successful life in the dozen years since his liberation, but, though no longer a loner in practical matters, he still retains a huge void in his heart. Wiesel introduces quite a lot of psychological suspense, and has the wisdom not to make the ending too facile; if there is healing to come, it will still be a long process.

I have not (yet) read any of Elie Wiesel's later novels. Judging by the speed with which he ascends the learning-curve as a fiction writer here, I would expect them to be increasingly filled out in human terms -- perhaps even to the point where he might have been a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature?

Night and Dawn.......2006-03-05

I was given the first two stories of the trilogy to read in my Nazi Germany and the Holocaust class this year and found them to be excellently written and very meaningful. With the help of an excellent teacher who posed all the right questions I was allowed to see the full meaning of these two stories.

I wasn't able to read the Accident, as my teacher chose for us to read the Sunflower by Simon Weinsenthal instead, although I do hope to someday.

Night and Dawn are two great stories which should be read by all.

The Night Trilogy-Elie Wiesel.......2006-02-17

This was one of the most moving book(s) I have ever read. Everyone should read this at some point in their lives

Well written.......2006-02-17

I thought this was a well written memoir and as hard as it was to read it is something that should be read by every living person. We need to step up and not allow this to happen in any country and it is so sad to see it happening everywhere. When will we learn our lessons?
