Great Overview.......2006-05-27

If you were studying accounting or bookkeeping on your own or in a college setting, and you made a small booklet of everything you highlighted or underlined in your textbook that you expected to see on the final exam you would re-create this book. I wish I had it when I was preparing for my accounting exams. This book won't make you an accountant, only experience and a lot of hard work will do that, but I'll bet you keep a copy of "Schaum's Easy Outline Bookkeeping and Accounting by Joel J. Lerner" in your desk for the first year on the job.

Difficult to understand.......2004-07-14

This book is definitely not for novice bookkeepers. You really need to know a lot about the subject in order to understand the material in this book. I personally felt as though it was a waste of money, and it has not helped me enter the bookkeeping field as I had hoped it would have. I had bookkeeping in college 30 years ago and thought this book would refresh my memory, but it did not.

Book Description

Featuring extensive references, updated for this paperback edition, Longevity, Senescence, and the Genome constitutes a landmark contribution to biomedicine and the evolutionary biology of aging.

To enhance gerontology's focus on human age-related dysfunctions, Caleb E. Finch provides a comparative review of all the phyla of organisms, broadening gerontology to intersect with behavioral, developmental, evolutionary, and molecular biology. By comparing species that have different developmental and life spans, Finch proposes an original typology of senescence from rapid to gradual to negligible, and he provides the first multiphyletic calculations of mortality rate constants.

Book Description

The book provides an introduction to the methods of quantum statistical mechanics used in quantum optics and their application to the quantum theories of the single-mode laser and optical bistability. The generalized representations of Drummond and Gardiner are discussed together with the more standard methods for deriving Fokker--Planck equations. Particular attention is given to the theory of optical bistability formulated in terms of the positive P-representation, and the theory of small bistable systems. This is a textbook at an advanced graduate level. It is intended as a bridge between an introductory discussion of the master equation method and problems of current research.

Book Description

Enter the distinctly off-kilter world of Don "Wendell" Brush, an unemployed Tennessee electrician with a penchant for throwing back a few beers before lunch. Mary, his long-suffering wife of seven years, has left him -- or is trying to. Heartsick at the thought of losing her, Don beats her out the door, reasoning that if he leaves, Mary will have to stay behind in their ramshackle house to take care of their dog and cat. On the strength of this logic, Don finds himself out on the street with only his decrepit old truck, the shirt on his back, and nothing to do but avoid home.

Approximately Heaven is a marvelously rambunctious debut, by turns melancholy and uproarious, about one hapless man's pursuit of happiness -- or at least another six-pack -- preferably both. The novel charts Don's amiably clumsy attempts to improve his situation, beginning with his decision to take a road trip with his friend Dove Ellender -- a retired, chain-drinking ex-felon with emphysema -- to Mississippi to deliver some furniture. Or maybe there's something besides furniture in the trailer behind Dove's leaky half-ton green-and-white 1969 Ford truck, but Don isn't asking and Dove's not telling.

Will Don find his heaven -- or something close to it? Will Mary give him another chance (his fourth, actually)? If heaven is a house that is square, level, and plumb -- with a loving family inside -- then for Don, even a sober hope of these things would be enough

In the course of his hero's grand misadventures, prizewinning short-story writer James Whorton traverses the broken white line between the absurd and the desperately poignant. Fans of Richard Russo will want to raise a glass -- or at least crack open a can of Natural Light.

Featuring an endearingly flawed protagonist, dead-perfect dialogue, and a mordant eye for small-town southern life, Approximately Heaven is about the paradise we long for and the approximations for which we settle. It heralds the arrival of a major -- and heaven-sent -- new literary talent.

Customer Reviews:

Good exercise in 1st POV.......2006-06-23

I liked it--thus the for four stars.

This is a good study in the use of POV to contol the narrative. By Wendell describing more of Dove's events, thereby lessen the focus on himself, the more we learn about him.

This is not a story or book about what happens, but more to what the teller, Wendell, does not tell us.

Recommend.

interestingly bland.......2005-03-14

This is the first book i've read by Whorton. The book droned on through the vast majority of the plot, but his occasionally poetic, sometimes southern style made it interesting. The story was slow to evolve and the readers attention seemed ill focused. Dove, the main character's friend seemed to steal away the attention in this novel. I think the book would have been better had more attention been focused on Dove and less on the main character. Don't expect monumental things from this book, however Whorton show's promise as a unque new author.

A truly intriguing piece..........2004-12-24

This book was not what I had expected, but it turned out to be better than what I thought. I definitely enjoyed the characters in the story as well as the plot, as ridiculous as it may seem to some. Jim Whorton is a great writer and instructor.

Can't believe I'm admitting it, but I SNORTED with laughter.......2004-06-18

The first half of this book is a little slow, and a little sad. But hang in there... it's truly a laugh a minute after it gets rolling (literally rolling, in some chapters). As a native Southerner, this book hit home on many snort-with-laughter levels. No matter your level of education, you WILL know someone, or perhaps even have a (distant, if you're lucky) relative who simply IS the main character in this book. Buy this novel, you'll love it. Mr. Whorton's capacity for wry, self-deprecating humor in his characters is quite praise-worthy. I'm looking forward to his next effort.

Book Description

Like its predecessor, Managing Global Chaos, this comprehensive volume explores the sources of contemporary conflict and the vast array of possible responses to it. Fifty of the most influential and innovative analysts of international affairs present multiple perspectives on how best to prevent, manage, or resolve conflicts around the world.

Four new themes emerge in this volume: the return of geopolitics; the recognition that differenct societies require different peacemaking strategies; the pull and tub between conflict management and post-conflict governance issues, such as democratization; and the understanding that creating a sustainable peace is as difficult as making peace in the first place.

Book Description

This is the first comprehensive survey of troglodytes and other cave dwellers throughout the world from Neanderthal Man to the present day. Mr. Kempe, of the British Museum of Natural History, examines why people have chosen to live in caves or natural shelters, the nature of life and the distinctive characteristics of the dwellings, and skillfully weaves these strands into a fascinating history of man's underground life.

Book Description

A book that explains in clear and vivid language both acid rain and global ecology. It presents many solutions.

Book Description

Having surged past the six billion mark, the human population of the twenty-first century is making overwhelming demands on the earth and its forests. Although economic and political considerations once dominated the management of forests and land, in today's crowded world environmental concerns are rapidly emerging as dominant. This book, drawn from experience with the World Commission on Forests and Sustainable Development, presents a concise, accessible view of the current status of forests globally, of demands on them, and of their importance in maintaining a fully functional human habitat. The book also presents a major challenge in planning for land use in a full world where defense of the public interest becomes more and more difficult and demanding. Opening with an examination of forests and the effects of human activities on them, the book then considers the relationship of forests to global warming, agriculture, biotic impoverishment, water resources, and climate. Later chapters discuss the global wood supply, plantation forestry, and forests as a source of energy. The final chapters call for local and global planners to weigh the spiraling competitive demands for forest resources and to redefine what is in the public interest in the context of forests.
