Decent Primer for Beginners.......2004-01-12

This is an excellent introduction to analyzing financial statements, at least for those who have never done so before or who have no background in business. It even is of benefit to seasoned financial people who don't necessarily spend a lot of time reviewing financial statements.

It covers quite a bit of information in a relatively small number of pages: taxation, inventories, cash flow, depreciation, capital investments, and even intangibles like Research and Development and market position. It is well organized and presented in plain Englsih, much to its credit.

However, keep in mind that this is more of a starting point. If you plan on spending a lot of time doing indepth analysis of financial statements, I would recommend starting with this book to provide the basics and then moving on to a more technical and detailed volume. You might want to pick an accounting and/or finance course along the way, too.

with this book it will be easy for any one to start reading abourt financial statements.

Not As Good As They Say.......2001-08-14

I bought this guide to financial statements, and I was impressed on how much was covered in such a short book. However, much is vague and misleading to the reader. I would recommend questioning why all the reviewers that rank this book so well are from PA. Those reviews are undoubtably from people representing the authors. You may want to look elsewhere for more thourough input on financial analysis.

Good for novices.......2001-08-14

This is a good book if you do not know anything about financial statements analysis. However, since it belongs to the "Pocket MBA series", one would expect more advanced content.

Book Description

This book illustrates the interactions of local-level actors and institutions which govern the management of resources at regional and national levels. It discusses irrigated agriculture, an ideal illustration of resource management's linkage of political power, technology, and the influence of unpredictable, uncontrollable forces of nature. The work attempts to delineate processes of change in a complex geopolitical and economic environment, where crises of various origins--climatic, political, technological and economic--present both obstacles and opportunities to resource managers at all levels. By placing the study of ecological management practices in time, the study directs our focus to accounting for change. The emphasis of this book is on opportunistic responses to crises which arise inevitably in the course of events. The case examined here, the water crisis in Israel, is closely connected to global conflict centered in the Middle East. The information provided in this study is important to an understanding of the local actors in this situation.

A Neglected Classic.......2000-08-01

Jack Dunphy's literary career was overshadowed in his lifetime by his 30-year relationship with the celebrated writer Truman Capote. And yet a single reading of the extraordinary "John Fury" reveals Dunphy to have been Capote's artistic equal, though a totally different kind of writer. "John Fury," about the Irish poor in Philadelphia at the turn of the century, belongs with such realist or naturalist urban classics as Frank Norris's "McTeague," Stephen Crane's "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets," and Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle." Dunphy's prose is hard, sharp, and spare, as befits the story's theme---the grinding, soul-deadening effects of a family's poverty. It is not a happy story, but it is a vividly real one.

Dunphy is a writer whose works, including the touching "Nightmovers" and "First Wine," as well as the brilliant novel-memoir "Dear Genius," deserve to be back in print. But "John Fury," his first book, may well be his best.

Book Description

Briquet's Les Filigranes is of great importance to all who deal with paper, whether as an artistic medium or a literary one. It is a monumental work illustrated with more than 16,000 reproductions of watermarks. The work, in effect a history of watermarks, is arranged alphabetically by a descriptive titles of the marks.

Book Description

This entertaining yet serious book examines the probability of apocalyptic scenarios the world could face in the future. Exploring all types of disasters, including natural crises like flooding, famine, asteroids, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions, as well as man-made disasters such as nuclear war, and biological and chemical terrorism, this guide thoroughly evaluates and rates the likelihood of each possible event. A history of previous global catastrophes—the extinction of dinosaurs, the droughts faced by the Mayans, and the poisoning of the Roman Empire—is also included. Concluding chapters investigate ways in which mankind can avoid earth's total destruction.
