Wonderful study tool.......2004-07-27

These focus notes are a wonderful tool. There are two major reasons why I suggest buying them.

1) It will save you from writing your own flashcards (which would take a whole lot of hours to do (probably many many days)

2) It beats flashcards. I have purchased flashcards before, and the Focus Notes are much better. You tend to get flash cards out of order...or you may lose some of them. The flashcards I bought did not have many examples, just definitions. The focus notes have definitions and examples.

The only caveat. If you are using Becker, I'd buy their flashcards, because they are geared towards their materials. And their materials are excellent, even though expensive. Probably worth it if you have the money.

The Focus Notes correspond to modules in the Wiley Books. However I am using them with Bisk. I just found the chapters in my Bisk books that correspond to the pages in the Focus Notes. It took a few hours to do this, but it wasn't a big deal. Hope this review helps other CPA candidates.

CPA Focus Notes.......2005-11-23

I would not have passed the CPA exam without Mark Edward's Focus Notes. They were invaluable.

I wish he would do Focus Notes for the CMA exam.

Good notes, not updated for current CPA Exams........2002-10-14

These focus notes are very useful to get the core concepts to pass the CPA, and in my opinion would relieve the "too much information" problem in the Wiley CPA books series.

In my opinion, these focus notes will be more useful if combined with another text book. Perhaps the Wiley CPA books series have the advantage of faster cross referencing, since they have the same module division.

If you are a Beckerconviser student, I would recommend that you buy their flash cards...(yes they started selling their own flash cards to their students in fall 2002).

One last note, if you are buying the second edition of the focus notes and using them to attend coming CPA exams,BE CAREFUL BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UPDATED!!!.
Examples of outdated notes in the financial accounting and reporting section are:
1. in the Intangible assets section (40 years is not any more the maximum useful life for intangible assets), and
2. the treatment of discontinued operations in the financials.

I gave it a 3 stars score because of the update issue.

Business Law Focus Notes.......2001-05-09

I used the Focus Notes to assist in preparing for the May 2001 Business Law portion of the CPA exam. I made additional notes on the Focus Notes as I read my textbook and as I completed practice exams. I felt I saved a lot of time I might have wasted making my own flash cards, and the logical format of the Focus Notes helped to clarify the information for me.

I felt great after I completed the exam, and I highly recommend the Business Law Focus Notes as part of your studying.

Book Description

This book analyzes both from a practical and scholastic perspective, nine areas of central focus or challenge to mainstream notions of the family. Feminist perspectives on reproductive rights and responsibilities, domestic partnerships and same-sex relationships, and new assisted reproductive technologies (such as organ harvesting and child abuse) are just some of the issues discussed as they relate to individuals and to the family and the values that have been the backbone of American life. The author suggests an ethical ordering that balances traditional strengths of American life with accomodation for new normative standards.

Book Description

This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are reviewed and their recently observed temperature, composition and cloud structures are contrasted and compared with simple thermodynamic, radiative transfer and dynamical models. The instruments and techniques that have been used to remotely measure their atmospheric properties are also reviewed, and the likely development of outer planet observations over the next two decades is outlined.

Book Description

Radiation Dosimetry Instrumentation and Methods provides the basic theory and practical methods of radiation dosimetry. The book begins with a review of the theoretical basis of radiation dosimetry and the system of units used in the measurements. The remainder of the book presents dosimetry methods widely used in nuclear medicine, as well as new techniques and methods that are applied only in specific circumstances. The theoretical basis on which each method is based and the practical and technical details of each dosimeter's design and construction are presented. Dosimetry methods are compared and correction factors and adjustments offered in the final chapter. The methods discussed in this fascinating text include ionization chambers, thermoluminescence dosimeters (TLD), photographic emulsion, chemical dosimetry and calorimetry, lyoluminescence dosimetry, solid state detectors, tritium monitoring, and neutron dosimetry. Radiation Dosimetry Instrumentation and Methods is an excellent book for physicians in nuclear medicine, hospital radioisotope departments, radiobiologists, radiochemists, and users of nuclear radiation for scientific, technical and energy production purposes.

Book Description

The sect known as "the Assassins," a corruption of an Arabic word that means hashish smoker, is familiar to the West as a mystical cult of killers led by the "Man in the Mountain" encountered by the Crusaders. But it was not defeat at the hands of Christians that ended more than a century of Assassin rule; it was the massive and brutal invasion of Mongols from the East who conquered Assassin strong points and mountain fortifications one by one, crushing nearly all traces of this once fearsome sect. For nearly two centuries the Fâtimids, Shi'ite Muslims who believed Mohammed's daughter Fâtimah was his successor, attempted to control the Islamic world from their seat in Cairo.

Following the death of the Fâtimid caliphate al Mustansir in 1094, members of a faction in Persia that supported a deposed claimant to the caliphate, Nizâr, believed they now represented Fâtimid interests. These Nizârî Ismâî'lîs ended up separating themselves from mainstream Islam and creating their own state in parts of present-day Syria, Iraq, and Iran. In order to establish and maintain regional control, the Nizârî Ismâî'lîs used political murders and spies to subjugate or influence rival caliphates and the dominant Saljûqs.

Marshall Hodgson's first major book, The Secret Order of the Assassins remains the most complete history of the Assassins. Beginning the story with the separation of Sunnis and Shi'ites and the rise of Ismâî'lîsm, an offshoot of Shi'ism, Hodgson traces the long and complex history of power struggles within Islam that led ultimately to the separation of the Nizârî Ismâî'lîs and their direct challenge to Muslim leadership. Hodgson goes on to explain the principles of the movement, provides an examination of their sacred texts, and follows the history of the group from the pinnacle of power in the mid-eleventh century to its legacy in the form of small pockets of followers in parts of contemporary Syria and India. Long out of print and appearing for the first time in paperback, this book is an illuminating study in the history of Islam.

Customer Reviews:

The Most Authoritative History of the Order Yet Published........2005-05-22

Hodgson's book is outstanding; a must-read for anyone with a serious interest in early Islamic history generally or in the sect of so-called Assassins particularly. The only shortcoming of this edition is the lack of illustrations (map, tables) that were included in the earlier edition. Hence I gave 4 stars rather than 5.
