An Indispensible Reference for the Accounting Professional.......2002-05-31
The Accountants Desk Reference provides pertinent information regarding accounting rules, best practices, and financial and managerial accounting issues commonly encountered by an accountant. This book is clearly written and concise. Especially notable is the chapter on taxation and financial management. Mr. Bragg has provided information that would otherwise be obtained only though much research. This reference is a must for all accounting professionals.

Book Description
Training and development professionals are faced with a host of responsibilities and goals that can be met only if they integrate the latest thinking in the field with their own experience and thereby develop a new arsenal of skills and knowledge.

The contributors provide the training and development professional with pertinent frameworks, revealing examples and real-life cases, specific recommendations, and various application ideas. References are provided throughout to support key findings, to point the reader toward the most promising and relevant training research, and to provide a comprehensive resource base that would be a valuable addition to any trainer's personal library. In addition to external and internal training professionals, students and instructors of human resource management, instructional systems technology, and industrial/organizational psychology will benefit from the contributors' insights.

Book Description
One person's weed may well be another's treasure, but whether you are a home gardener or a giant of agribusiness, there are some plants you need to get rid of in order to improve your desired crop. In Solving Weed Problems, horticulturist Peter Loewer helps identify which plants truly are weeds, then shows you the best ways to eliminate them. Elegantly illustrated, this handbook recounts a short history of weeds and how they got to America, and lists the most stubbornly pernicious species of the twenty-first century. Plus, it gives you important facts on the pollination and germination of weed seeds, their longevity, and their methods of dispersal. Find out which herbicides - chemical or organic - work best in every situation. Even find out the special circumstances when you may actually want to cultivate rather than eradicate certain weeds. (5 1/2 x 8 1/4, 288 pages, illustrations)

Weed of a Book.......2007-01-28
This book did not give me any new revolutionary information. I especially did not like the quality of the book. Cheap paper stock, and no pictures!! Just hand drawn illustrations. Sheesh, what is this world coming to? :+)

Book Description
This book explores the connections between the theory of hyperspherical harmonics, momentum-space quantum theory, and generalized Sturmian basis functions; and it introduces methods which may be used to solve many-particle problems directly, without the use of the self-consistent-field approximation. The method of many-electron Sturmians offers an interesting and fresh alternative to the usual SCF-CI methods for calculating atomic and molecular structure. When many-electron Sturmians are used, and when the basis potential is chosen to be the attractive potential of the nuclei in the system, the following advantages are offered: the matrix representation of the nuclear attraction potential is diagonal; the kinetic energy term vanishes from the secular equation; the Slater exponents of the atomic orbitals are automatically optimized; convergence is rapid; a correlated solution to the many-electron problem can be obtained directly, without the use of the SCF approximation; and excited states can be obtained with good accuracy. Audience: The book will be of interest to advanced students and research workers in theoretical chemistry, physics and mathematics.

Mount St. Helens: The Eruption and Recovery of a Volcano
ASIN: 0898865034 |
Amazon.com
Native Americans called Mount St. Helens Loowit (Lady of Fire), and warned unheeding settlers to stay away. In 1980 the mountain proved out the Indian legends, erupting with enough force to send up a mushroom cloud 45 miles across and create the largest landslide in recorded history. This handy and well-organized guide provides all the historical, geological, biological, and recreational information you'll need to take advantage of a truly unique natural area. It's conveniently divided into four sections: Mount St. Helens West, East, South, and North. Each section begins with the lay of the land and general driving directions for scenic tours. A selection of hikes follows, each with a capsule description that includes elevation gain, length of hike, what maps to use, the best season to visit, and a difficulty rating. Trailhead driving routes are also provided. If you're hankering to walk, bike, horseback, ski, or take a scenic drive through post-volcanic devastation, or if you want to see just how quickly nature regenerates after a natural disaster, A Complete Guide to Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument is your ticket.
Customer Reviews:
Best of the Bunch.......2000-10-29
There are about 3 or 4 books on hiking around Mt. St. Helens and I'd rate this one as best of the bunch. Mr Vielbig covers all the trails, has good maps and provides the right amount of information on routefinding and what to see.

Customer Reviews:
Golf Etiquette is necessary in the new age of Golf.......2007-08-24
The book is good and is helping me teach my Grand Nephiews and Grand Nieces the etiquette of golf. I purchased each of them a Guide and they are reading it. They range in age from 9 to 15 years old.
I have seen a marked improvement in thier demeanor on the course during rounds of golf.
This is a very good book to give as presents for the fledgling golfer.
Golf Rules & Etiquette Crystal Clear.......2007-06-02
I will no longer rely on Amazon reviews to purchase a book. I bought this book because of the rave reviews and find that the book is just about worthless. I am no expert in the rules of golf but expected to learn much more from this book. If you are just a beginner it might be worthwhile.
Just the book I've been looking for.......2007-03-09
I have bought golf rules books in the past, but they were incomprehensible. This book is very easy to understand and a delight to read. The illustrations are clear and detailed enough to explain every situation imaginable. I have always wanted to know if I've been scoring correctly (I haven't), and now I know how. It's a little too big for the golf bag, but it is indispensable for anyone who enjoys the game. I look forward to using it as a reference for many years to come.
Finally...rules that I can understand!.......2007-02-11
This is so easy to read that it's almost entertaining!
Yes, it really is crystal clear!.......2006-04-20
This was a delightful book and unexpectedly fun to read. The illustrations are plentiful, well thought out and make a big difference in understanding the text. The writing style is lucid and insightful as well, making this book the complete package on this subject. I learned more from this book than two other "simple" rules books and a video.
A really useful bonus is the section on etiquette. You are not as likely to be asked out with a group or have as enjoyable a round if you are not aware/do not follow the game's etiquette!

Book Description
In this heartwarming, family oriented adventure, an Anglo-Paiute Indian teen, Johnny B. Falcon, angry at his life's misfortunes runs away from his oppressive home at the Moapa Indian Reservation, desperate to find a normal life. "I feel like I'm the last jagged piece of a jigsaw puzzle lost forever."
With his poor self-image, Johnny hops a cattle truck with his adventures taking him through Nevada to Las Vegas, Dayspring and beyond. He meets a beautiful girl, Lisa, but all seems lost when Johnny has to learn life's lessons the hard way, breaks the law and is sent to reform school. But ironically and fortunately, his association there with three good people: Dr. Lovejoy, Warden Peters and especially old Hoot Owl, the custodian, is about to help Johnny find worth in his own true self.
Hoot Owl is an 80 year old Indian, once himself an inmate, who empathizes with Johnny and brings about an awakening
after Johnny's darkest night. Hoot Owl shares with Johnny his wisdom, plus one surprising Indian secret that will change Johnny's, and also Lisa's, life forever.
Customer Reviews:
Hoot Owl Shares the Dawn.......2004-12-13
This is the sweetest story I've ever read. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good, family-style story. Hoot Owl is my newest hero. I enjoyed the characters and the interesting twists & turns along the way. This story is pure joy ... I can't wait to read Ms. French's next novel ... perhaps a continuation of Johnny B. Falcon's adventures?
