Start-up approach to beginning accounting.......2006-02-23

I bought this textbook precisely because it presented a framework for accounting that would be encountered by a start-up company. When I studied first year accounting it was what you would call bookkeeping and I don't remember it as being particularly interesting.

This book, because of its ongoing narrative about the start-up, was much better. It lacks color and graphics such as you will now find in many other texts, but did quite well in getting Elevation Sports up and running. Maybe the authors can find a more interesting start-up, but the premise is a good one that I hope other authors will follow.

You know, it's too bad these reviews can't be weighted because there's a class of about 40 people with whom I took accounting in university that would trash this book. Make it 41 for the prof who stepped in and had to use it. It is not well written, with information presented out of logical order. It does not cover the materials sufficiently, nor in enough depth, trying to combine financial and managerial accounting in a book full of "worksheet" style pages that could have, and should have, been cheaply produced in an accompanying study or homework guide instead of built into a hard cover book that doesn't even have a lot of content to begin with. It's a waste of money at just about any price, not being able to teach the material, never mind at its outrageous price. I wish we could sue to get our money back on books that simply don't live up to standards. I also wish there was a zero star rating, or negative ones, which indicate complete waste of time and/or money, never mind zero value to purchase and read!

Book Description

The 14th RCNP OSAKA International Symposium on Nuclear Reaction Dynamics of Nucleon-Hadron Many Body System was held in Osaka from December 6 to 9, 1995. The symposium covered current topics from Nucleon Spins and Mesons in Nuclei to Quark Lepton Nuclear Physics. Thus it included the field of hadron/nuclear physics from sub-GeV to multi-GeV energy region, as well as recent activities and development at RCNP. It was also intended to be a kind of winter school for young researchers/graduate students.

Book Description

After about three decades of experimental and theoretical efforts, the structure of the nucleon (proton and neutron) is now fairly well understood based on quantum chromodynamics, but only if averaged over its spin. As the recent "proton spin crisis" revealed, we do not understand much about the nucleon structure when its spin is polarized to a specific orientation. We expect that our understanding on this challenging problem will soon be significantly improved by the RHIC-Spin and other experiments in the near future, as well as by the lattice- and perturbative-QCD theoretical calculations. The purpose of this symposium was to summarize the current understanding and discuss the future perspective of this problem with experimental and theoretical physicists from both high-energy and nuclear physics communities.

Book Description

A comprehensive survey of the most recent results from the field of quark-gluon structure of the nucleon, in particular how the spin of the nucleon is shared by its constituents. After very intriguing results from CERN and SLAC at the end of the 1980s, the last decade has seen a set of second-generation experiments at high energy accelerators that have yielded precise information on the solution of the 'Spin Crisis' - as well as opening up new questions. The articles are written by experts from the leading collaboration and theory groups as well as providing an expert summary of the state of the art, the book points the way to future research directions. Its main focus is on semi-inclusive and exclusive measurements of deep inelastic lepton scattering, which enables for the first time the determination of the flavor-separated quark spin distributions. Future developments on generalized parton distributions and their interpretation as well as the transverse spin structure are also covered. An indispensable volume for all working in hadronic physics.

Satire on the Movie Industry in New Orleans

Customer Reviews:

This book is not for the incontinent........1998-10-12

You will laugh so hard, you will certainly lose control of your bladder function.

This is undoubtedly the most side-splittingly funny, knife-in-the-back satire about the dopes who live in New Orleans you will ever read.

So, read it. But wear a diaper.

A wonderfully sarcastic tome.......1998-08-27

The book is especially humorous for those who are well versed in the flavorful idiosyncrisies of New Orleans and its denizens. A must read .

Book Description

The Civil War was a major turning point in American religious thought, argues Mark A. Noll. Although Christian believers agreed with one another that the Bible was authoritative and that it should be interpreted through commonsense principles, there was rampant disagreement about what Scripture taught about slavery. Furthermore, most Americans continued to believe that God ruled over the affairs of people and nations, but they were radically divided in their interpretations of what God was doing in and through the war.

In addition to examining what white and black Americans wrote about slavery and race, Noll surveys commentary from foreign observers. Protestants and Catholics in Europe and Canada saw clearly that no matter how much the voluntary reliance on scriptural authority had contributed to the construction of national civilization, if there were no higher religious authority than personal interpretation regarding an issue as contentious as slavery, the resulting public deadlock would amount to a full-blown theological crisis. By highlighting this theological conflict, Noll adds to our understanding of not only the origins but also the intensity of the Civil War.

An important contribution to historical scholarship on the Civil War.......2007-09-30

This book shows how the beliefs and assumptions held by American Christians in 1860 precluded any kind of critical reflection on the Civil War. If you've read Nathan Hatch's Democratization of American Christianity, this serves as an excellent second installment in the saga. Many of the ideals whose development Hatch chronicles played important roles in paving the way for the Civil War ethos. This book is also a nice supplement to Harry S. Stout's Upon the Altar of the Nation. Stout beautifully chronicles Americans' moral ambivalence, but doesn't really go into the root causes to the extent that Noll does. Nor does Stout explore foreign commentary on the war. Noll's exploration of foreign commentary, in fact, was one of the most fascinating aspects of the book. Foreigners seem to have seen fairly clearly what nobody in America could see.

If you're looking for a rousing or moving narrative, this isn't the book for you. But if you'd like to understand why American theology was paralyzed in the face of the slavery crisis, this little book is ideal.

That it's a "little" book is also nice. Noll says a whole lot in only about 160 pages.

must read book from a must read author.......2007-06-09

M. Noll simply is one of the best writers i am currently enamored with, both for his research ability, his writing clarity but most importantly the topics and ideas he writes about. I really could do no better than to return the mountain of partially read library books on my desk, just buy everything he wrote and read it in chronological order. He is that good, important and significant.

I've had an interest, inherited from my mom, concerning the American Civil War. Not so much the battles but the meaning of it all. Not the generals but the theologians of the war, why do men fight? why do they kill brothers? why is there such passion about this most UnCivil War? Since i spent a year working on and delivering a Sunday School class on the History of American Presbyterianism i have been aware of the overarching significance of the Civil War in the history of ideas. It marks the end of one world and the birth of another, the one we live in now. And M. Noll and this short book go a long ways towards filling in some of the blank spots and questions i have about it.

in several important ways it is a continuation of:
chapter 18 "The 'Bible Alone' and a Reformed, Literal Hermeneutic", and
chapter 19 "The Bible and Slavery"
from his _America's God_

there is more both historical and theological work to be done on the issues. as a reviewer wrote earlier the issue at heart is the perspicuity of Scripture.

Helpful focus on rarely discussed dimensions of the Civil War.......2007-01-10

Noll makes an important and accessible contribution to studies on the religious dimensions of the Civil War. Noll demonstrates how views of Biblical interpretation fueled the intensity with which both sides engaged each other over the slavery question. Especially helpful is Noll's analysis on Roman Catholics' views of the War. All around, the book was a great read.

An appenidix.......2006-09-19

This is an outflow of a predominent theme of Noll's work: the invention of an American religion. This is a off shoot of Harold Bloom's book The American religion: The Emergence of the Post-Christian Nation. Since reading his "Is the Reformation Over?" I have found his ideas more in tune with a liberal philosophy as underpinning. The primary thought expressed intially is the rejection of perspicuity of the Bible. It is a hypothesis that the problem of interpretation could not be solved by the Bible alone is not a Protestant idea, but a Catholic one.
The views of the Civil War from abroad as being included and their highlighted relevance seems irrelevant for lots of reasons. I think some of those reasons apply to the current controversy of whether the Supreme Court should reference court decisions and law international in their rulings.
That somehow a mix or confusion of the doctrine of Providence was a problem in being able to sort out the question of slavery is dubious. Providence that God is working in all things has been and will be cited into infinity. Why may not one look at the use of Providence as sited generally by Jefferson and many leaders of our history until the present for undertakings? Or who can leave out the current rage in evangelical circles seeing God's hand divining current trends as forecast in the Tim LaHaye series?
If this was a theological crisis, whose theology? The author does not define these terms or take a stand for a particular theological view. If there is a declension of "theology", what points. Surely, it is not the dumb contention of Providence being misused by both sides. It is the resurgence of a works religion unfolding.
The author does indicate that enlightenment priniciples, their acceptance in hermeneutics and interpretation of scripture, had a affect in confusing orthodox beliefs in strict propagation of the gospel with that of a socialized political gospel. To this day the two are still emeshed with each other to Christianity's detriment. We are still doing God's work in Iraq etc, etc. and whatever else may come down the pike.

Fills a much needed hole in Civil War literature.......2006-09-05

This book covers a much needed gap in the history of Religion during the American Civil War. While focusing on the narrow subject of the theological debates raging during the war (both nationally and internationally), this book is a valued companion to the growing collection of works treating Religion during America's most dividing conflict. (Most notably Harry Stout and Elizabeth Fox-Genovese) While numerous historians have explored the economic, social and racial justifications of slavery, few have explored the surprisingly sophisticated arguments put forth by the Southern theologians. Although modern readers unquestionable find fault in using the Bible to justify slavery, one may be surprised at the intellectual nuance of the arguments given by Southern thinkers. By understanding the ideological mindset of both sides, one gets a fuller insight into this period of our past. And that is what history is all about.

Another novel aspect of the work is that it dives into European sources in search of Continental reactions to the war from European religious thinkers. This aspect helps readers to understand that the problem of race and slavery was not unique to American clergy alone but something that leaders in all corners of Christendom had to deal with. This book is highly recommended for four readers: 1) Someone looking for a highly specialized book on the theological battles that took place during the Civil War 2) Someone who is interested in the history of Christian responses to violence and/or war 3) Someone interested in the connections between slavery and Christianity and 4) The armchair historian who reads everything about the Civil War and is looking for a fresh angle on their favorite subject.

Happy Reading.
