Terrible terrible terrible!.......2007-03-13

This book is terrible! This is not a good review for anybody who hasn't had any previous accounting experience. The text is not written in user-friendly wording. I had somebody who is an accountant look at this book and although they understood it, they said it wasn't written very well at all! I had to buy this for an Masters level "Introduction" to financial and managerial accounting class and I know that a lot of people in the class dropped the class because they were having such a hard time with the text. If you have accounting experience, you will probably not think this book is bad, but if you're like me and haven't, then you'll be in trouble. As a degreed engineer, I've had my fair share of experience reading non-friendly texts. This one is definitely up there as far as the "BOOK FROM HELL" category.

Not difficult but detailed........2006-04-08

This is a very advanced begining accounting text used by Harvard University in its accounting courses. It combines both Financial and Management Accounting and it is extremely detailed. Their are no solutions in the tests for their very difficult problems and I have not found a study guide to accompany it thus far. Do not buy it if you are not familiar with accounting. This is a textbook.

Good High Level Overview.......2005-09-06

I would recommend this text for higher level accounting/financial analysis courses. There are many other books out there to dive into the exact nature of making journal entries etc. so don't think of this as an excellent beginner to intermediate stlye text.
The cases are excellent for those who will be making upper level decisions not the actual day to day transactions.

Book Description

A road map for the future of the world market

"Bryan has emerged as an influential voice on regulatory issues. "--The New York Times

The world is on the verge of the most sweeping economic changes since the Industrial Revolution. National economies are transforming from government-controlled market systems into an open international marketplace under no one's control. The consequences will be both exhilarating and terrifying. Market Unbound is the first compelling blueprint for adapting to this new global market.

According to McKinsey and Company authors Lowell Bryan and Diana Farrell, this revolution will have a profound effect on all sectors of business and finance. The global economic scene has already undergone profound and irreversible changes, but most of the transformation still lies ahead of us. Those who learn to operate under the new system will have the opportunity for tremendous profit. Those who don't face the specter of catastrophic loss.

Market Unbound outlines how the global market came into being and why it is so powerful, and why it is so rapidly accelerating the globalization of the world's entire economy. The authors explore the implications of this evolving market force and examine the consequences and the opportunities for governments, investors, corporations, and financial organizations. Market Unbound is a must read for anyone who hopes to thrive or even survive into the 21st century.

* Based on extensive research conducted at McKinsey &Co--the world's premiere consulting firm
* Case studies and relevant examples illustrate the patterns of market change currently taking place
* Reveals how a government's ability to exercise control over its own financial system is being undermined by the global capital market

LOWELL BRYAN and DIANA FARRELL (New York, New York) are consultants at McKinsey & Co. He is the author of three previous business books and a leading authority on financial regulatory issues and global capital markets. She led the research efforts underpinning the book's conclusions.

Markets Unbound- Too optimistic.......2000-04-05

This book makes some interesting points and is well written. I feel that the authors are too optimistic about the affects of globalization on the world economy. Issues like disparity in income and ravaging affects on the middle class are not given the attention they should. I would also have liked to see more opinions on what world governments could do to alleviate the sweeping changes the world markets are making. Still, the book is worth reading for anyone interested in the affects of globalization.

Book Description

Modern plate tectonic theory, the development of earthquake prediction and the mitigation of earthquake hazards are based on the study of earthquakes during the twentieth century. Investigation of earthquakes over a much longer period, although in no way invalidating the global importance of plate tectonics, shows that patterns of seismic activity do change with time and that areas of intense seismic activity in the historical past are often gaps of earthquake activity today. This study of the historical seismicity of Iran over the last thirteen centuries not only shows this quite clearly but also reveals a long-term tectonic pattern which is different from that deduced from short-term observations. The historical data provides the basis for the development of earthquake prediction models and for long-term earthquake hazard assessment. This book will be of equal interest to earth scientists, seismologists, historical geographers and orientalists.

Book Description

This book presents a systematic and coherent approach to phase transitions and critical phenomena, namely the coherent-anomaly method (CAM theory) based on cluster mean-field approximations.

Customer Reviews:

One of the stupidest book I've read in a long time!!.......2007-09-01

I have never read a Zane book before and after reading this book, I can say I NEVER will again, the book starts off alright and you expect some substance, but it quickly begins to go down hill.
The sponsor ads were pointless, not funny and a waste of paper, then she throws the silliness from the ads into the story which makes the story just annoying and unrealistic.

The Harmony mystery was such a big secret and when they "revealed" what was wrong that was such a disappointment. The dean escapade was over the top and again....not realistic. The mandingo thing was disgusting and extremely stupid. I was very disappointed with this story and discourage anyone who doesn't have money to blow to stay away from this book.

Crackin up!.......2007-08-31

This book had me crackin up! I was really good and shows some true bondage among sisters and friends..

Funny, Funny, Funny.......2007-06-13

This book was one of the funniest that I have read in a really long time. I highly recommend this book for all to read it is sure not to disapoint!!!

Great blast from the past.......2007-06-04

I rate this 3.5 stars!
I know this is an old one, but I still enjoyed it a lot. It made me laugh out loud and shed a few tears. Very well written (of course it's by Zane). Great Read.

Laugh-Out-Loud Funny.......2007-05-10

This hilarious novel will keep you on your toes as you read about the sexual escapades of three sisters.

A Book For Anyone, Anytime, Anyplace.......2000-06-01

Chris does a good job of writing a book through various styles of genre. In the beginning he writes as a researcher and historian. As he applies the research personally he begins to write as a devotional thinker. Finally, he seems to follow CS Lewis in his reflection and parabolic application.

Chris reveals that the cross was not just an instrument of torture--but a punishment attempting to disgrace the victim. It is this shame and disgrace that Christians must live with as they follow a Messiah who was dishonored and humiliated before the Roman world. Carrying the cross on our backs is quite different than wearing a cross around our necks. The cross was an instrument of shame rather than honor. To follow the Messiah calls for a willingness to overcome shame and dishonor, a term Chris calls "Amazing Disgrace".

This is a book that reminds us of the shame Jesus carried so that we could live with hope. It is this hope that can inspire us to live with honor.

You're no idiot, of course. You know that the Middle East is always in the news. But the situation there is so complex, you just can't keep track of it all. Was King Hussein related to Saddam Hussein? Why all the fighting over the West Bank? And what does oil, water, and sand have to do with it? Don't let your brain get parched. This useful book sorts through the political and military quagmire of the Middle East in language anyone can understand.

Complete waste of time.......2007-10-15

This book is biased, poorly written (even for a complete idiot) and is a COMPLETE waste of time. Do not even waste one minute by reading this book, unless you are looking for a way to make yourself feel better about Israel's invasion of Palestine.

The background necessary for understanding the conflict in the M.E........2007-09-20

This book is an eye opener. I understand why many people are upset by it: It completely contradicts the "politically correct myths about "the poor Arab victims of Israeli imperialism." It also contradicts another myth; that Israel, one that almost everyone believes: That America is Israel's great benefactor. It is not possible to explain all this is in this review, that is why everyone who is interested in this subject must read the book. After reading the book and check the sources, you may have and entirely different perception on Jewish/Arab conflict and America's role in it.

The conflict cannot be solved as long as we continue to believe in myths. It is politically correct these days to blame Israel. What we are overlooking is that Israel is facing the Arab and Muslim world that is unified about only one thing, their hatred of Jews and commitment to destroy Israel.

The Arabs have openly promised to exterminate the Jews before starting each of the wars against Israel:1948, 1956, 1967, 1973 as well as in the long-lasting war of attrition.

Most people believe that "Israel was established by the Brits", the reality is diametrically opposite. The Brits did everything in their power to prevent Jew from entering Palestine. Just before and during the WWII the Brits prevented Jews from entering Palestine, condemning over 1 million immigrants to the German gas chambers.

When after declaring independence, Israel was attacked by all the Arab states, the Brits and Americans imposed weapon embargo on Israel, while the Brits continued supply vast quantities of weaponry to the Arabs. British officers were actively leading the Jordanian Arab Legions against Israel. British advisors were assisting the Egyptian army, and British pilots were flying the Egyptian air force. (4 were shot down over Israel and taken prisoner).

Haven read this book, most readers will have learned an entirely different perspective than the one commonly found in the media.

Completely Biased.......2007-07-12

I just thought everyone should know this book is totally biased towards Israel. There are plenty of other books that outline the nature of the conflict more accurately and, after reading one of those, if you are looking for a book with an argument in defense of the Palestinians I would recommend any of Norman Finklestein's books. He skillfully supports all of his claims fairly unlike Bard.

Pro-Israel Bias Alert.......2006-11-29

When I purchased this book I expected a balanced analysis of the Middle East conflict. I thought the Idiot's Guide series of books sought the middle ground presenting the facts and allowing the reader to come to an informed opinion. Instead the author supplies facts sparingly and always from a Zionist perspective. Reading this book has damaged the credibility of the Idiot's Guide series for me. I wanted information. What I got was an apologia for Israel. The book could have been written by AIPAC (in fact, Mr. Bard was for three years editor of the Near East Report, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee's (AIPAC) weekly newsletter on U.S. Middle East policy.) The author finds excuses for Israeli acts of terror like the bombing of the King David Hotel in 1948 (the entire passage seems based on the memoirs of Menachim Begin) or the murders of Arab residents in Deir Yassin in 1948 by the terrorist Irgun Gun or the massacres in Sabra or Shatila in 1983. Nor does the author properly detail the appropriation of land from Arab owners or the construction of illegal Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories (no entry exists for "Occupied Territories" in the index). The Palestinians are presented as the authors of discord and the enemies of peace and any harsh measures initiated by the Israeli government are always excused as reasonable responses to Palestinian provocation. This is propaganda posing as scholarship. It should carry a proviso that reading this book may be hazardous to the truth. I do not recommend this book to anyone who seeks the truth but if you are a cheerleader for anything Israel does you'll love it.

Extremely biased .......2006-11-27

Interesting enough presentation of material. Good if you are looking for information in support of the Israeli side of the story but don't expect non-biased information. It is written by the Executive Director American-Israeli Cooperative and his bias is obvious. I am very disappointed the Idiots Guide series would select such a non-neutral author.

Book Description

How do Native Americans maintain their identity and culture in a hostile society, and to what end? Tontos Revenge is a passionate attempt by a leading Native American scholar to reassess the Indian world view and its importance to all Americans. His deeply felt essays project a vision of how Native Americans can recapture the power of their cultural legacies. "What we have witnessed over the last five hundred years," states Rennard Strickland, "is the domination of an ideologically superior world view (that of the Native Americans) by a technologically advanced but spiritually bankrupt civilization (that of the discoverers)." He proposes a reversal of this pattern, arguing that "values must prevail over technology," especially if people are to attain balance and peace with themselves and their surroundings. He delineates the enduring cultural heritage of Indians in essays on law, literature, history, art, film, and culture.

Customer Reviews:

Insightful, humorous overview of Native America today.......1999-05-26

Rennard Strickland (Cherokee/Osage) is an expert in Native American law and heavily involved in the Native community. His lucid view from the inside is refreshingly funny and optimistic: demonstrating how Native Americans are not assimilating or weakening, but gaining new tools in cultural preservation, legal protection, and economical development for the upcoming millenium. Although filled with historical references and facts, these essays were taken from Strickland's speeches. They're easily read, not stuffy or overly-academic.
