Good text for a lecture class.......2007-09-21
This text does not separate journal entries used as examples from the chapter discussions, which makes it difficult to follow each chapter's progression. However, the examples in the text are in depth and quite helpful when worked out in a group setting.
Book is confusing and leaves lots of things out.......2007-01-21
This book was very hard to follow and my professor had to give us handouts from other textbooks because of the amount of stuff the author left out. The author gave problems in the back of each chapter and half the time he didn't cover the material in the book. I certainly hope that my professor reconsiders his choice of books for future classes.

I adopted this text for use in a course I taught. I won't be using this book again. I feel guilty that my students had to pay good $ for it.

simplistic yet confusing.......2006-01-24
I adopted this text for use in a course I taught. I won't be using this book again. I feel guilty that my students had to pay good $ for it.
Very understandable explanations.......2004-06-17
Advanced accounting is an area where understanding the concepts that underlie procedures is crucial for solving new problems. This clearly written book excels at giving you the conceptual understanding you need to solve the problems you see on tests. It is especially good in explaining the knotty area of accounting for intercompany transfers.
I recently finished a demanding advanced accounting course for which I picked up this book to supplement the advanced accounting text used in the course. I learned much more from Larsen's book. Despite my somewhat thin at the time background in financial accounting I received an A- in the course. No way that would have hapenned without studying this book. I am sure it will also help in my CPA test preparation. The separately available study guide has good practice questions.
Advanced Accounting by E. John Larsen.......2004-05-31
This book emphasizes the advanced accounting subject areas for
the Uniform CPA Examination . It has a strong rendition of
partnership accounting, consolidations and eliminating entries
for intercompany sales, investment income, cost of sales and
minority interest computations. There is good coverage of
the specialized topics in advanced accounting; namely,
installment sales, present value computations and the non-profit accounting sector which may be tested on the Uniform CPA Exam
and graduate-level exams. The book is a worthy purchase. The Web dimension of the presentation adds considerable value to the overall purhase. Advanced accounting courses require preparation and considerable problem solving. Both aspects are emphasized heavily in the current rendition.
Excellent resource for comprehensive exams!!!.......2002-03-30
Author has a flawless style of writing and presenting accounting. It has clear-cut examples with no gimmicks. This is a great resource for reviewing for comprehensive exams.

Book Description
Motivated people are crucial to create a sustainable competitive advantage for your company. Successful Management by Motivation shows that in a knowledge-based society, this goal cannot be achieved by extrinsic motivation alone. Pay for performance often even hurts because it crowds out intrinsic motivation like work morale. To succeed, companies have to find ways of fostering and sustaining intrinsic motivation. With the help of in-depth case studies, representative surveys, and analyses based on a large number of firms and employees, this joint work of business researchers and economists identifies the various aspects of motivation in companies and shows how the right combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation can be achieved.

Book Description
The general topic of this volume concerns the origin, evolution, distribution, and destiny of life in the Universe. Firstly, it discusses the transition from inert matter to cellular life and its evolution to fully developed intelligent beings, and also the possibility of life occurring elsewhere, particularly in other environments in our own and other solar systems. Secondly, the book explores the role that space missions may play in obtaining further insight into the question of the origin of life.
Reviews are included of the research for microorganisms in the solar system and the well-established project for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The present work is much broader in its scope than in previous conferences: over one hundred leading scientists have reviewed the entire range of subjects dealt with in these sixty-nine papers.
Audience: This book is aimed at advanced students, as well as researchers, in the many areas of basic, earth, and life sciences that contribute to the study of the first steps in the origin of life.

Customer Reviews:
Great primer!.......2001-07-13
Having recently completed my MBA I look back and realize how much of a help this book was to me during my program. The author is able to take complex subject matter and reduce it to simple, unerstandable concepts. The chapter on TVM was especially helpful.
Not a bad primer.......2000-08-01
As someone who is about to enter the MBA program at UC Berkeley--and one who was an English major as an undergrad--I heeded the advice of my admissions department and acquired a number of books on math and accounting fundamentals. This one was not nearly as dry as many of the others I've plowed through, and I think I've emerged with a pretty solid foundation of math skills after finishing the book.
However, I do have two qualms with this work: 1) There is little by way of practice exercises. An occasional "try this" problem pops up here and there, but the book does not offer a great deal of practice with the material. Instead it moves pretty quickly from one concept to the next, and as one who knew very little about such areas as discount rates and coupons, a few drills to drive this material home would have been very welcome.
2) This book also was not edited very well. Here and there you will find numerical mistakes, e.g., during a lesson it will tell you to enter "10" for the time period on you financial calculator. In such instances, a graphic is provided that shows what you should be keying into your instrument (say, 10 for the time period, 8 for the rate, etc.). However, the graphic does not always jibe with the text; where the text would say "enter 10" the corresponding area of the graphic might say "enter 11". This was very confusing at first because by following the graphic I was not reaching the answer that the text said I should. This happened at least eight times before page 100 and was extraordinarily annoying and really hindered progress for a bit until I realized that I had to double-check all of my data entry when I went by what the graphics said.
Otherwise, this book is worth a read.
Customer Reviews:
A life cannot be complete without Faulkner--.......2006-07-20
Since reading "A Rose for Emily" as a boy, I have been hooked on Faulkner. I kept a worn out copy on hand to show to my teachers who accused me of using run-on sentences (some of his sentences took an entire page.) He is a true master and when I feel homesick, after being too long in some foreign country, I read a Faulkner story and remember the South where I grew up.
"The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past." --W. Faulkner
"Faulkner is the greatest artist the South has produced."
--Ralph Ellison
The greatness of the long- distance runner.......2006-03-16
Just as most athletes excel in one particular event, so many writers find their greatest work in one genre , primarily. Faulkner is an impressive storyteller but the work he is most remembered for is his long- distance works, his novels, "The Sound and the Fury" " Light in August" "Absalom, Absalom" among others.
The stories here nonetheless provide a real sense of Faulkner as a writer. The unmistakeable Faulkner style with its complex and Latinate sentences , its cumulative enveloping rhythm, its penetration of the inner lives of its characters, in grotesque and often extreme relationships, including those in which there is often real violence, is here in these stories.
Among the stories in this collection are "A Rose for Emily" " Dry September" "That Evening Sun" "Lo" "Red Leaves".
Turnabout" .
I would say to truly know Faulkner at his best and fullest it is necessary to read the novels. But the stories too give the feeling and flavor of this great American master's work.
Nice Collection.......2004-01-01
This is a great collection for someone who hasn't read much Faulkner. Everyone needs to have at least read "A Rose For Emily" and "Red Leaves."
WHO'S AFRAID OF WILLIAM FAULKNER?.......2002-01-13
Faulkner scares readers. Before I read, re-read and loved "Light in August," I had tried books like "Absalom, Absalom" and "The Sound and The Fury" countless times only to get bogged down in the convoluted grammar and personal symbolism as well as the dialogue. For some reason, when I was ready to really read and concentrate, it was certainly not easy, but it was a great, distinct pleasure....one that has stayed with me. Faulkner is, as novelist and essayist Ralph Ellison calls him, "...the greatest artist the South has produced."
This Modern Library compilation of some of Faulkner's short stories is a perfect place to start to read this author, or to keep returning for his keen insights into the heart and nature of the Southerners he created from the Southerners he knew. There are thirteen stories here and they include one of Faulkner's most famous, "A Rose For Emily" a tale of great love and, perhaps, necrophilia. My personal favorite, depressingly sad though it is, is "Dry September" which tells of the extreme violence not only of small town whites to blacks but of whites to whites. Every one of these superb stories is a gem, masterfully written. Most were intended for magazines and so are much more straight forward and "simple" than the novels.
My only complaint and it is with Modern Library, is that, except in two cases, we are not told when Faulkner wrote the stories nor when they were published. Even so, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
