Accounting Books

I, as well as many others, see NO Fun in getting organized. Although I have been "at times" and felt the joy of being able to find items within a moment's notice, I've always fallen backa to my old pack rat ways. Company comes over; friends drop by and my place is in a constant state of FLUX & Chaos. Then I had seen Ms. Koopersmith as a SpokesPerson on QVC, the Shopping Channel (in May of 97, I believe) & was immediately hooked by her charisma, poise & confidence as she showed one & all - millions of shoppers, about how a person, as myself, can get organized. She was repping a product line at that time, but I found out about her Book & accompanying Video a few weeks later; ordered both & now, every day make it a Passion to stay organized. The Book is my new Outline to Life as I analyze what she is attempting to do. And, yes, it has given me proven, positive results already. People have stopped in; friends have unexpected dropped by & they do not have to crawl over mountains of paper or boxes that seem to have "no home." If there is one book, I now highly recommend to everyone - whether it's for a young person in their formative years (needing to know how to be an Organized Individual) OR a college student going away from home for the first time & thrown into the throngs of a tight, dormitory cubicle, it's to read & DO as Linda says. Don't do as I do - DO as the Professional, The Beverly Hills Organizer says. Linda has a 30 Second Rule that is Golden in my Book (pun intended). It reads as: IF you take it out; put it back. Life couldn't get any simple than that. My environment couldn't look any better once I abide by that Philosophy. Many of the Pages have listings and places where I can check items off. This is very convenient. It's evidently PC-generated and makes for very easy reading & understanding. Ms. Koopersmith tackles IT all. I know I will be buying many of these Books as the Holidays roll in. I want to be organized and this is the only way via the Methods presented by The Beverly Hills Organizer, Ms. Linda Koopersmith, in which I can make a clear-cut & clean sweep as we all collectively enter Century 21! She knows how to do it & I commend her for taking the time to help others who have no idea on how to tackle this on-going Situation - Situation: Clutter! Three Cheers & 3 Stars for The Book that totally changed my life. In due time, since my home, studio & business are in better working order, I will then have the time to read MORE Amazon.com Books - indeed opening up more doors of opportunity for me. Those which had been closed since I was too busy trying to sort thru piles of papers, files & who knows what! In final summary, "I did not know Organizing could be SO much fun & it's actually good for you!" Koopersmith puts The ZING into OrganiZING. Who could ask for more!

Thayer's book gave me new insight on topics I have often thought about but haven't been completely clear on- my daily mood in relation to several aspects of interest, including exercise, caffeine, and sleep. An avid runner, I often wonder about how to optimize my mood through exercise. Thayer's clear description of exercise and it's effects on mood allowed me to understand my goals in achieving a peaceful state of mind through my runs. Also, his research on caffeine and mood provides good evidence that the optimal amount of caffeine (which is different for all individuals) can increase a person's affect. Finally, Thayer's work on sleep and mood is fascinating. I feel more secure in my thoughts about how much sleep I need each night in order to be in a positive mood state, whereas prior to reading his book, I wasn't completely confident that sleep affected mood in such compelling positive and negative ways. I would recommend Thayer's book to all individuals desirin! g to know not only more about daily moods but also more about personal daily patterns which are affecting mood in ways that one would never guess. I assure that all readers will gain a clear understanding of how to increase daily mood, and no individual can deny that such an increase has the potential to enhance one's life in very positive ways.

This book is essential reading for a thorough understanding of the biotech industry, its complexities and potential. Highly recommended!

Most students in introductory accounting will become users not preparers of accounting information. Many accounting programs have altered the introductory course to stress the interpretation and application of accounting numbers and to deemphasize the mechanical, bookkeeping aspects of financial accounting. Understanding the cincpetual issues from a user's perspective has become the focus of these programs and some schools even teach little or no debits and credits. The question is not whether accounting programs should teach their majors bookkeeping; instead, the issue cneters on determining the best place in the curriculum to teach these issues. schools that adopt a user-friendly approach to accouting 101 might attempt to push these topics to intermediate accounting that covers these mechanical topics. This book is wonder for this purpose, providing the mechanics of bookkeeping and introducing the reader to accouting information system. The text also introduces the student to auditing, both its goals and its elementary priciples. Particularly, this text is packaged with a CD-ROM containing FINANCIAL ACCOUTIUNG TUTOR software,which is an innovative, self-paced tutorial that uses interactive problems and graphical tools to help students understand the logic underlying financial accounting concpets and procedures. Highly recommend

This book is excelent. The information included are according to this era. I recommeded for the students and for the professional as a reference book. No one other books that I read include a chapter for operational auditing.

Britain, France, And The Financing Of The First World War is a scholarly study by Martin Horn (Associate Professor in the Department of History, McMaster University) of the flow of money during the First World War. Professor McMaster demonstrates how the financial ability to arm and feed vast armies was crucial to the Allied victory, and that Britain and France fought not only to win and survive, but to bolster and preserve financial strength on an international scale. A meticulously researched and persuasively presented study, Britain, France, And The Financing Of The First World War is a seminal study and a welcome addition to academic library collections.

A concise yet very informative book for managers interested in running a business 'by the numbers'. It is written in a very practical and easy-to-understand manner. I utilize many of Tracy's ideas in my own job. The book deals not only with budgeting but with management reporting, break-even analysis, project anlysis, and accounting issues in both service and manufacturing enviroments.
