Henry Rand Hatfield: Humanist, Scholar, and Accounting Educator (Studies in the Development of Accounting Thought, 1)

Book Description

This book is a biographical study of the first full-time accounting professor in a US university. Henry Rand Hatfield (1866-1945) was the first dean of the Chicago business school and the second dean of the Berkeley business school, and he was long regarded as the "dean of accounting teachers everywhere". His two textbooks, Modern Accounting (1909) and Accounting (1927), were among the most respected reference works in the first half century, and they and his articles continue to be cited today. His textbooks and carefully crafted articles were veritable annotations on the accounting literature and drew extensively on accounting and legal authorities in the US and overseas. He exemplified a principled approach to accounting debate and discussion, and he skewered sloppy and imprecise terminology and shoddy thinking. He did not propound any grand theories but was instead an astute critic of the literature, a delectable writer, and, above all, a consummate scholar.

Hatfield was an authority on early bookkeeping history, and his essay, "An Historical Defense of Bookkeeping", has long been one of the most celebrated articles in the US literature. Professor Basil Yamey has written a commentary expressly for the book on Hatfield as a historian of accounting and bookkeeping.

Stephen Zeff began his research in the 1960s, when he was granted access to Hatfield's extensive files of correspondence, notes and papers, and he proceeded to interview, or correspond with, many of Hatfield's former colleagues and students. The author also drew on the archives at the Northwestern University, the University of Chicago and the University of California, as well as the records of the American Accounting Association, of which Hatfield was a founder and President. The book is rich in references to primary sources.

Many of Hatfield's unpublished and previously published papers are reproduced in the book, which also contains a complete list of Hatfield's publications, including his more than 50 penetrating book reviews.

Read this book, land that job.......2005-04-15

A terrific primer on how to kill during that big interview. My wife and I both read it before we had important interviews and we both landed the job. This book is an easy read that offers clear guidelines on how to sell yourself to a potential employer. The best part is that it teaches you "skills," instead of providing a bunch of cheesy responses to interview questions.

I found this book very helpful........2003-07-08

This book is much more than some list of common interview questions. This book helps you understand the employer's concerns behind interview questions. Once you understand what the employer's concerns are, you can form your best answers to those tough interview questions. It will help you put the interview process into the proper perspective so that you can present yourself in the proper light. It has useful information on all of the important aspects of interviewing and follow up. I am in mid-career, not completely new to interviewing, and I still found this book very helpful. I would recommend this book for any job seeker.

Learning to Interview.......2000-08-31

This is an excellent book for people who just don't understand what interviews are all about. It take an uncertain thing - the interview - and put parameters and structure around it. I now have a much better sense of what the interview is supposed to acocmplish, which is not necessarily what one might instinctively know.

Read A Classic, and Prep for the SAT!.......2007-08-06

This is one of the best ways of learning SAT vocab, or simply vocab for your own personal gain. Read the classic work on the right, SAT words are in bold and defined on the left. The real kicker is that words are repeated throughout the book. After seeing words over and over you learn them extremely well. Great Concept, Great Study Aid, Great Book!

These Books are better than other SAT Score raising books. Most of these books are written for the sole purpose of raising your score. Their stories tend to be boring, the writing style is usually adequate. Instead Kaplan, defines SAT words inside great literary works. They are perfect for any student. You can now read a classic book, and Study for the SAT at the same time!

Great Classic of the 1800s + SAT Vocabulary Preparation.......2006-11-12

I initially decided to read this book for three reasons: 1) I thought it seemed like an interesting story, 2) it appeared on my school's required-reading list, and 3) I was able to find this SAT-prep version of it! 629 essential SAT words appear in bold throughout the main text and are defined along with synonyms on the lefthand opposite page. Other useful vocabulary words that aren't part of the SAT-vocab are underlined as they appear and are included in a glossary at the back of the book. For me, reading vocabulary in context is much more helpful than studying hundreds of words separately through flash cards.

Other reviewers have mentioned that this version is different from other editions of "Frankenstein" that they have seen before. This could be because the 1831 edition of the book is one of the most widely read versions; this SAT-prep version appears to be derived from the original 1818 edition. There are a some key plot differences between the two, but I don't think that Kaplan's use of a lesser-read (and earlier) version of "Frankenstein" detracts from the main purposes of the book: to entertain and to educate.

(Miniture Plot Synopsis): The story opens with a series of letters from a ship's captain, Walton, to his sister Margaret. He is sailing north of the Arctic Circle and his ship becomes surrounded by ice. He notices a man travelling across the ice pursuing a bizarre creature. The man, Victor Frankenstein, ends up coming onboard the ship and relating the strange tale of his life. Walton records Frankenstein's dialogue, which then becomes the narrative of the story.

Frankenstein was a bright and intelligent youth and deeply interested in alchemy. He left his family in Switzerland to study modern science in other countries of Europe. Through much research and effort, he discovered the method of constructing a human being. As to what he created the human out of, Frankenstein keeps these details vague (only mentioning various bones and parts). He specifically intends his creature to be handsome, but once his work is complete and the "creature" wakes up, he is horrified by its disfigured appearance and Frankenstein flees his laboratory. After this, the monster wanders off and later teaches himself how to speak and understand human conversation through observing a group of villagers.

When Frankenstein is hiking in the mountains, he is confronted by the monster. The monster tells him of all of his suffering and confusion and begs him to create a female counterpart that would be just as disfigured as he his, so they could live happily together in seclusion and not bother with humanity any longer. Frankenstein refuses this request, and then the monster plagues his life and the lives of his dear friends and family.

Shelley's style is incredibly descriptive, making it an obvious candidate for Kaplan's series of SAT-prep books. In fact, it's a good thing that I read this version, because I would've been fumbling around with a dictionary the whole time if I read an edition without a vocabulary guide!

Good Book.......2006-08-14

This book is great for those that need to review vocabulary for the SAT's. On the left side is the vocabulary and the definition, on the right is the story using the vocabulary in bold.

Inaccurate and misleading.......2006-01-26

We purchased this book to use in our accelerated curriculum since we have a substantial vocabulary unit connected to Frankenstein. However, a few days into the book, we are noticing major departures from Mary Shelley's novel. Kaplan has irresponsibly marketed this book as if it is the original version.

Good for SAT, but not the original version of Frankenstein.......2005-01-24

I ordered this book to use with my AP Literature class. I was already teaching Frankenstein, and thought that my students would really benefit from the extra SAT study as well. However, as we are going through the book, I find that the story in this book is very different from the old copies I had always taught from. Key parts of the story are changed, and many of the parts are rearranged. If you are looking for an accurate version of Mary Shelley's story, this may not be the one for you.

Book Description

An estimated ten percent of bankruptcy cases involve some kind of abuse or fraud. Since launching Operation Total Disclosure in 1992, the U.S. Department of Justice has endeavored to send the message that bankruptcy fraud will not be tolerated. Bankruptcy judges and trustees are required to report suspected bankruptcy crimes to a U.S. attorney. The decision to prosecute is based on the level of loss or injury, the existence of sufficient evidence, and the clarity of the law. In some cases, civil penalties for fraud are deemed sufficient to punish and deter.

From A Lawyer's Perspective.......2000-09-15

Bankruptcy Crimes provides a wake-up call to the bankruptcy bar that there may be criminal law consequences based on their advice given and actions taken in the planning and conduct of a bankruptcy case. In an easy to read and well organized format, Bankruptcy Crimes provides bankruptcy practitioners with an authoritative primer of what they need to know and what they need to advise their clients in order to avoid running afoul of the criminal rules that govern the conduct of those who participate in bankruptcy cases. An outstanding career both in and out of government has made Stephanie Wickouski equally conversant with the federal bankruptcy and criminal codes and enabled her in Bankruptcy Crimes to provide unique legal insights and real world advice for lawyers confronting criminal law questions in the bankruptcy context. Bankruptcy Crimes is an essential reference tool for lawyers representing clients accused of bankruptcy crimes, for bankruptcy fiduciaries charged with notifying law enforcement of criminal conduct and for lawyers seeking practical guidance for the difficult legal and ethical issues they often face in advising clients in financially distressed situations.
