If you need to know what GAAP is, then buy this book........2003-03-13

This book is really the best place to find out what GAAP is today. It's perfect for CFO's, Controllers, Accountants and students of accounting. It provides a lot of excellent examples to help you understand how to apply GAAP within your own company. Everyone else may find it a little dry.

This book is a great resource for creating accounting policies for your organization but it won't help you with procedures. There are a lot of other good books for developing procedures and this is not one of them.

It's a great reference text for everything you wanted to know about GAAP, financial statements and accounting. If you need to know what GAAP is, then buy this book.

Like bread to a meal... if you're an accountant!.......2001-11-05

For accountants: You MUST have this book! I'm an accountant and this along with a dictionary of accounting terms are among my most essential books to have on my work shelf! It's a great reference and ALSO a great learning tool for topics that you're not fully knowledgeable in!

For non-accountants: This book migh be a little too technical for your needs! Unless you'll be deeply involved in accounting issues, you might want to look for another more basic book. Nevertheless, you can always make use of this book if you have one!

Book Description

Appearing at a time when the ancient problem of the individual versus the state once again occupies the minds of thinking Europeans, this important new book thoroughly evaluates the judicial system of the European Union, fully describing the nature of the judicial protection available to individuals, undertakings, and member States. With attention to the rapid and continuing development of the Community legal order, Schermers and Waelbroeck provide a much-needed perspective on the reasoning of the European Court of Justice in significant decisions, especially recent cases, and shed revealing light on how the rule of law may develop in future. An introductory chapter offers a masterful description of how Treaty provisions, Community acts, international law, and national legal orders interact in the procedures and decisions of the Court of Justice. Further chapters provide analysis and insight into such matters as the following: + the crucial role of national courts as guarantors of the rights of individuals in Community law; + the validity of acts taken by Community institutions and member States, and protection against them; + the delivery of non-judicial opinion and other tasks of the Court of Justice; + the composition, function, and rules of procedure of the Court; and + the organisation of the Court of First Instance and the appeal procedure against its decisions. Judicial Protection in the European Union is organised to facilitate its prodigious reference value. All important cases are examined, and abundant footnotes clearly indicate relevant precedents in each case. This is a fundamental source for students of European law, as well as a basic reference for practitioners and a valuable analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the European system of judicial protection.

This book is a waste of the paper it is printed on.......2007-07-18

I am a huge fan of the Introducing-series. These books (of which I own several titles) explain very thoroughly in only a small number of pages, difficult topics. And they read pleasantly. This one though, explains nothing at all. Do not buy it! It starts off with denouncing the existence of God as not "scientific", and "proofs" this statement not by scientific arguments, but by philosphical arguments from mystery religions. A fallacy. Instead of giving an overview of the universe from big to small or vice versa, and the different cosmological world views there are, it in-depth tries to dwell on quantum mechanics, history of astronomy and the like. And a bad job is done on those topics, I can tell you. Forget about this book: it's trash. Buy Introducing Quantum Mechanics instead. That last book is truly excellent.

wow.......2007-06-15

Covers quite a lot, and as you can imagine not a ton of detail about any one subject, but it's a great overview.

Great step by step introduction to Cosmology .......2007-03-14

Book Description

Turbomachines are those in which energy is transferred to or from a continuously moving fluid by the motion of a rotating element. Some of the most common and important machines used in engineering and industry fall into this category, including those which absorb power (and thereby increase fluid pressure), such as fans, compressors and pumps. Also included are equally vital varieties of machines which generate power from the expansion of fluids to lower pressures such as hydraulic, steam and gas turbines.

This general definition embraces a number of devices that are classified as 'open', such as propellers, windmills and unshrouded fans. The machines examined here are those defined as 'closed', where a finite quantity of fluid can be considered to pass through the machine in unit time, for it is these which are of the most interest to students and professionals in the fields of mechanical, chemical, and plant engineering. It is in these areas that the devices that form the subject matter of this book find their most important applications, making this treatment of vital importance to anyone working in or studying them.

I hope you have his phone number.......2006-11-18

This was the worst book on rotating machinery that I ever picked up. Hard to follow and poorly organized, perhaps designed for the intended course work, I would not recommend that it as any reference value.
His flat theory also neglects changes in units. Which he uses outside of his own definitions in the prologue.

A very complete textbook.......2000-10-29

We were asked to buy this book by a teacher, it was certainly a good choice, perhaps the information given is too dense but I did enjoy studying with it.

It's a good reference book for undergraduate student........1999-08-05

I will send you after my revie

Book Description

When Laszlo Tisza first came to MIT in 1941, he had already made significant contributions to physics. In the years since, he has consolidated his position as one of the most important theoreticians of his time. Tisza's major areas of activity, closely reflected in these twenty-three essays, have included studies of quantum liquids (in particular, the remarkable properties of liquid helium and the nature of superfluidity and superconductivity), irreversible thermodynamics and the statistical thermodynamics of equilibrium, phase transitions and critical phenomena, and the application of group theory to molecular spectroscopy.

Tisza has also given long and close attention to the philosophy and history of his science, to a degree rarely attained by an active research physicist. His special contribution has been his insights into the logical and conceptual structure of physics. This aspect of Tisza's work is less well known than his technical contributions, and the book has been structured to right the balance by revealing Tisza the natural philosopher who collaborates with Tisza the physicist.

Written by Tisza's colleagues and former students, the essays are grouped under five headings: Foundations of Probability and Thermodynamics; Condensed Matter Physics; Quantum Mechanics and Relativity; Biological Systems; and History and Philosophy of Science.

Abner Shimony, Professor of Philosophy and Physics at Boston University, has contributed a closing evaluation of Tisza's philosophy of science, and Herman Feshbach, Head of the Department of Physics at MIT, has contributed an opening recollection of Tisza's scientific style.

Book Description

This definitive work is a major step forward in the study of the sailing warship. For the first time, the development of the line-of-battle ship is described precisely, in terms of individual ships and classes, highlighting the factors influencing specific changes in design. This sophisticated approach allows the author to tackle a great many myths--such as the static nature of eighteenth century design, or the preeminence of French naval architecture--and his conclusions challenge the accepted view in many areas of naval history. For the enthusiast and academic historian alike, The Ship of the Line is essential reading for a better understanding of the navy in the age of sail. Volume 1 covers the general historical background, and includes extensive tables listing all ships of fifty guns and above, divided by period, rate, class and design, with full technical data.

The definitive work on the subject, a major step forward in the understanding of the sailing warship in the Royal Navy

Large-scale profiles clearly show the changes occurring in ship design over two hundred years Extensive tables listing all ships of fifty guns and above serving with the Royal Navy between 1650 and 1850, including captured vessels

Over 50 line drawings, plus 130 black-and-white illustrations

Brian Lavery is a leading authority on the sailing fighting ship, and is the author of a series of critically acclaimed works, each of which was a major step forward in the understanding of the subject. These include The Arming and Fitting of English Ships of War, Nelson's Navy and Building the Wooden Walls. He is currently Curator of Ship Technology at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich
