Practical, Relevant, and To The Point.......2007-09-11

This book is not a completely from-scratch lesson in accounting; but for anyone with at least some minimal exposure to accounting concepts, it is a very practical and organized way to get through the fundamentals as a tool for business, MBA prep, or general knowledge. The concepts are written in a way that is accessible and relevant to everyday life at the office. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick yet thorough way to get with the program!

Great Refresher!!!.......2007-08-27

I think Dr. Label's book offered me a great refresher in basic accounting. I took accounting, over thirty years ago. Many changes have occurred since then, however, this books sums up basic accounting as I remember. I have also used this book to help me explain accounting concepts to clients. Often accountants expect others to understand exactly what we are saying, however, all clients do not have the same level of accounting knowledge.

I think the layout works well. The concepts are explained, a QUICK Tip is provided, an Alert! is given, followed by a Quiz. This technique worked well, for me.

Making Friends in the Finance Dept........2007-08-14

In an effort to effectively track budget, finance and marketing (historically, not the most compatible of departments) are working together to accurately track and define accrual and prepaid expenses for marketing activities, and for once I TRUELY KNEW what the heck they were talking about! It is all falling into place. Thank you. While accounting was relatively easy to learn when I was in school, it's another story now that I am actually working KNEE-DEEP in it. While this book is not for absolute beginners, it does a great job of providing simple explanations and examples for those already familiar with the basic terminology.

This book is awesome!.......2007-06-20

I am very happy with this book. I have recently returned to college (having just celebrated the 23rd anniversary of my high school graduation). I needed a text to help me study for the CLEP accounting test. This book was exactly what the Doctor ordered... Accounting for Non Accountants along with the CLEP Study Guide was all I needed to pass (on the first attempt) with flying colors. Might I also add that I absolutely HATE accounting and I did very poorly in my H.S. accounting class 20 + years ago. Dr. Label's explanations are simple and straigt forward. The step by step examples are easy to digest and make sense as they build on each other. Very easy to grasp the GAAP...

A MUST-HAVE for anyone who wants a solid grasp of the fundamentals!.......2006-12-30

I love this book!

Topics to be pertinent, concise and very well developed. The introduction leading to the balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows, and so forth are all in logical order - with one topic building on the previous. It's both an excellent cover-to-cover read as well as a great reference

Book Description

The chemist's approach to the understanding of matter and its chemical transformations is to take a microscopic view, connecting experimental observation with the properties of the constituent molecules. Atoms and sub-atomic particles do not obey the classical laws of mechanics but conform rather to the laws of quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is thus of central importance in chemistry. In order to understand the behaviour of molecules and their constituent particles it is necessary to have a thorough grounding in the principles and applications of quantum mechanics. Quantum Mechanics 2: The Toolkit provides a toolkit for applying quantum mechanics to chemical problems, introducing more advanced approaches using approximate methods. It describes areas of chemistry where quantum mechanics is important, and shows how quantum mechanics can be applied to chemical problems.

God ran out of words, too, so he asked Phil to step in.......2007-02-27

This book is heavenly in every aspect. The thoughts, ideas, characters, and events in this series of short stories are nothing short of phenomenal. Phil has a way of expressing ideas both uncomfortable and awkward, but at the same time magical, original, and sometimes euphoric.

If you don't read this book, you don't love God. So please, if you want to show your love for God (and Philip J. Reed) then buy this book and read it immediately. And then read it again. And again. Actually, never read another book again, this is all you need right here.

Book Description

Many accounts portray the conquest of the New World as a remarkable military achievement, with Cortés' vastly outnumbered but better armed Spaniards defeating hordes of superstitious savages. However, the reality of these events is far more complex and no less significant. The first Conquistadors who had sailed in search of prosperity, inspired by dreams of unlimited riches, soon became disillusioned and restless. With disease rampant, resources exhausted, and the Caribbean populations dwindling, they had little alternative but to find new territories and peoples to exploit. This title shows how, bolstered by influxes of war-hardened veterans from Europe and an army of over 30,000 allied Indian troops, they came to rely on and perfect what they knew best - killing for profit, and without mercy.

Book Description

As the U.S. faces the consequences of its actions during the Cold War in Afghanistan and elsewhere, study of the period becomes more important and timely. More than just a timeline, the Chronology of the Cold War is an in-depth chronological narrative organized in sections. Each section carries a clear date and summary heading. The five major sections are:

I. Cold Peace, 1917-1940
II. The Strange Alliance, 1941-1945
III. Containment and Détente, 1946-1975
IV. Confrontation & Conciliation, 1976-1991
V. Epilogue

Based on sections of the Chronological History of U.S. Foreign Relations (Routledge 2003), the reference includes significant additional material on Russia, China, arms control, and the Cold War in the developing world. This easy-to-use reference also includes an introductory section reviewing the history leading up to the Cold War from 1917 to 1945, a general bibliography of resources on the Cold War, and is illustrated with photographs from presidential libraries.

The Chronology of the Cold War is an essential reference for students, scholars, librarians, researchers, and general readers seeking a straight-forward explanation of particular events regarding the United States, the Soviet Union, and other participants in the Cold War. Also includes 18 maps.

Decent catalog of significant events and people.......1999-04-27

While it would be easy to fill dozens of volumes in a "Cold War Encylopedia," this one succeeds in a more difficult task. Thomas Arms manages to put almost 700 entries into one volume and still make it worth reading. Arms provides entries on laws, people, policies, and organizations that shaped the Cold War. Arms arranges all entries in the classic "inverted pyramid" style which allows the reader to review the most important information first. Arms also provides cross-references from one entry to another where applicable and a bibliography at the end of most entries. This is an important reference when conducting any research on a time period which is already becoming one of history's most widely debated and discussed issues. This one has it all, from the key players and events to some of the more minor and aomost forgotten ones. Comprehensive companion to have around when reading anything abou this period and its participants. Recommended.

Book Description

Cold War espionage was a nightmare of errors, seen darkly in a wilderness of mirrors, raining desperate deceptions in a climate of treason, with assassins trading in treachery using hidden hands running invisible governments. As fascinating as it was lethal, this labyrinthian world is still masked in mystery. A good amount is known and knowable, however, and this encyclopedia offers up the latest and most up to date information available, drawn from scholarship, memoirs, and journalism. Everybody spied on everybody else during the Cold War. France had agents in the U.S., China had agents in East Germany, Poland had agents in Great Britain, and the United States and the U.S.S.R. had agents everywhere: in governments, in industry, in the military, and within each other's, and their own, intelligence agencies. A-Z entries provide a fascinating glimpse into the subterranean world, events, people and operations of the Cold War. Close to 300 hundred entries provide vivid summaries of hazardous careers, both long and tragically brief, of betrayal and double-cross, and of diplomatic maneuvering so freighted with deception and cunning it sometimes seems unreal. Every entry concludes with suggested readings, and is thoroughly cross-referenced. A thematic guide quickly directs users to Affairs, Crises, Disasters, Hoaxes and Scandals; Agents of Influence, Spies, Spymasters, and Informants by nationality; Assassins and Assassinations; Covert Operations; Defectors to the East and West; Double Agents, Fictional Agents and Operations; Honeytraps; Spy Exchanges; Victims of Covert Operations; and Women Spies and Agents. It contains an extensive annotated chronology, and is thoroughly indexed. This encyclopedia will be immensely helpful to students and researchers of the seamier side of 20th century world history, Cold War history, and world politics.

This is the kind of book a child can easily learn about the major topics of the Cold War. Al they have to do is use it like a regular encyclopedia. Also it is a book someone can read to learn more about the Cold War. Also if your a veteran from of the wars during the Cold War you would read this and have nostalgia. This overall is a great book.
