Long-Term Leasing -- Accounting, Evaluation, Consequences

Book Description

Leasing is by far the most important source of finance for various types of assets needed by firms, but this may cause problems. Among them are the decisions to buy or lease and the accounting decisions to capitalize or expense. Riahi-Belkaoui addresses both problems by examining the models and standards used both for management of and accounting for leases. In five chapters Riahi-Belkaoui covers the issues involved in leasing and financing decision models and offers a decision format to reconcile disagreements among various approaches to the lease-or-buy analysis. He examines all the techniques proposed for accounting for long-term leases as formulated by the Statement of Accounting Standards No. 13 and then looks at specific issues. In his final chapter, a unique contribution to the literature on leasing, Riahi-Belkaoui explores the economics of buying. This is a valuable resource for financial accountants, decision makers, and researchers interested in the management of leases.

Easy to understand yet full of information.......2000-08-24

I love this book! Bob Berman manages to explain theories of the universe in easy-to-understand language without all the jargon that you find in a lot of books like this. When he does introduce new terms that most non-astronomers won't understand, he uses simple everday examples to explain them (like comparing the process of "entropy" to a glass of club soda with ice.) The information is interesting and thought-provoking. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand this book... but you may know as much as a rocket scientist when you're done!

The best book I have read in many years.......2000-05-03

This is the most stimulating, intelligent book I have ever read. Period. It wanders from Earth through space in wonderful, unexpected ways. It deserves a Pulitzer Prize!

Not quite as good as Secrets of the Night Sky.......2000-01-19

If you enjoyed the wonderful "Secrets of the Night Sky" by Bob Berman, you will likely enjoy this book, too, although, in truth, it is not quite as strong a book. Unlike "Secrets....", there are more personal reminiscences in this work and less in the way of pure expression of the wonder of our universe that made "Secrets...." such a joy to read, but there is still enough content in this book to recommend it. I'd give this 3.5 stars.

That said, I had to laugh a bit on one thing. Mr. Berman makes a point in his book that many people, for whatever reason, seem to long for a link between science and religion, and he points out all the "new age" books, written by all sorts of religious apologists from various religious backgrounds, that attempt to put forth unsupported theoretical connections between the two. People, it seems, no matter their religion, cannot seem to let go of their own personal religious bias and seemingly feel a need to try to pick snippets of science to attempt to justify their own personal religious view.

To this a previous review responds, "Clearly, Mr. Berman is unfamiliar with how science supports my "true" religion, so let me explain it to you.......". Mr. Berman's case in point.

A five cent book in a twenty-five dollar wrapping........1999-08-08

If Bob Berman is your idea of a celebrity and you really care about his youthful escapades, his early girlfriends, his personal thoughts, etc, you might get something from this book. If you liked his earlier book, Secrets of the Night Sky, as I did, then you are bound to be disappointed by this sorry attempt at a follow up. There is no substance to the book aside from the widely advertised "how far away is the horizon?" question. (The answer is: square root of altitude in feet times 1.23 equals distance to horizon in miles). That's it, the rest is padding and pure pap. There are also several blatant errors in the text. There is no theme and after reading it I had all the substance I could have gotten from an old copy of "People" magazine. Save your money.

Excellent follow-up to Secrets of the Night Sky.......1999-04-27

Interesting and informative essays on a wide range of topics in astronomy. I found three mistakes, in this otherwise good book. On Page 138, the caption incorrectly lists the dates of the Blackbird and space shuttle: they should be 1963 and 1981, respectively.

On Page 135, the author says quantum mechanics functions independently of time, this is not quite true. One astrophysicist explains, "Quantum mechanics is founded on the concept that quantum events occur according to finite probabilities within finite intervals of time. The larger the time interval, the greater the probability that event will occur...if t=0, the probability for that event occuring is zero" In other words, QM is dependent on time.

His statements about religion and science needing to be separated are a bit misguided. Perhaps he is unware of the historic intertwining of the two: religion once produced most of our greatest minds (Newton, Galileo, Kepler, Corpernicus,...). The two can, and do, work together well.

His inferrence that religion is nonrational shows his unfamliarity with true Christianity (books on the agreement/compatibilty of science/Christianity include "Show me God", "the "Genesis Question", "the Creator and the Cosmos", etc, and on its rationality: "Love God With all Your Mind").

Book Description

In the last few decades, religious and secular thinkers have tackled the world's escalating environmental crisis by attempting to develop an ecological ethic that is both scientifically accurate and free of human-centered preconceptions. This groundbreaking study shows that many of these environmental ethicists continue to model their positions on romantic, pre-Darwinian concepts that disregard the predatory and cruelly competitive realities of the natural world. Examining the work of such influential thinkers as James Gustafson, Sallie McFague, Rosemary Radford Ruether, John Cobb, Peter Singer, and Holmes Rolston, Sideris proposes a more realistic ethic that combines evolutionary theory with theological insight, advocates a minimally interventionist stance toward nature, and values the processes over the products of the natural world.

This is a good book if you've already read several overviews of the overall campaign and you'd like to learn more about what specifically happened in Nijmegen.

This Is the Way to Do Military History.......2002-05-27

Tim Saunders has written another excellent Battleground Europe series title, this time on the role of the American 82nd Airborne Division and the British Guards Armored Division in the struggle for the bridges around Nijmegen in September 1944. Even readers who have read other books on the infamous Operation Market-Garden should pay attention to Saunder's book, since there is a wealth of information that rarely if ever appears in other sources. Normally, the fight of the British 1st Airborne Division at Arnhem gets most of the coverage in accounts of Market-Garden, with very little space reserved for the fighting at Nijmegen. Interestingly, it was German veterans after the war who noted that it was the fighting at Nijmegen that decided the battle, and the fate of the British 1st Airborne. Saunder's book, which forms a part of the Battleground Europe series covering all phases of Market-Garden, goes a long way toward redressing the lack of coverage of this critical battle.

Nijmegen consists of ten chapters, beginning with a short 17-page section on the strategic background of the Market-Garden plan. The remaining nine chapters cover each of the sub-actions that formed the Nijmegen fighting: the capture of the Grave bridge; the Maas-Waal canal bridges; the Molenhoek; the Groesbeek Heights; Bergen Dal, Beek and Devil's Hill; Nijmegen and the Waal bridges; capture of the Waal bridges; Lent and north of the Waal; and Oousterhout. There are also three appendices covering orders of battle, cemeteries and comparative rank structure. While an index is provided, there is unfortunately no bibliography. Most of the photographs in the volume while excellent will be familiar to readers of Robert Kershaw's It Never Snows in September, and Saunders has also culled that source for much of his information on the Germans around Nijmegen.

The actual coverage of each of the sub-action is simply superb. In the case of the seizure of the Grave Bridge by the 2/504th PIR for example, the author provides an annotated 1:50,000 scale map of the objective, 1944-vintage aerial photographs of the objective, eyewitness accounts of the action, photographs of key terrain around the objective and the aftermath of the action. Most of the other actions are equally supported by aerial photographs, excellent maps depicting tactical movements and dispositions, and photographs of key terrain features. Many of the smaller actions in this area, such as the fighting around Groesbeek Heights, are virtually ignored in other accounts. The incredible assault crossing of the Waal River by the 3/504th PIR is covered in great detail and the comments of the SS commander opposing it are telling: "crossing one of Europe's widest and fast flowing rivers in daylight was inconceivable and dismissed as suicidal." Consequently, the Germans were caught by surprise when the Americans actually did it.

The author also manages to dig up new details about the fighting around Nijmegen that do not appear at all in other accounts. Due to the failure of British tactical communications at Arnhem, most people tend to believe that all Allied airborne units suffered from poor communications during Market-Garden. Not so. As Saunders convincingly details, the American 82nd Airborne Division's radios worked fine and the excellent division radio net allowed Brigadier General Gavin to shift his small forces around to fight off repeated German counterattacks. Furthermore, the 82nd Airborne exploited the still-functional Dutch telephone network and used it for communications, unlike the British. One episode that is rarely mentioned concerns the air-landing of Lieutenant General Browning's Corps headquarters near Groesbeek on 17 September 1944. Apparently, Browning wanted to be one of the first British soldiers to cross the German border and he and some of his staff members apparently made a brief sortie into the neighboring Reichswald to claim this honor. British records appear to corroborate this tale. If true, the schoolboy behavior of "Boy" Browning will surely further diminish that general's already poor reputation.

Saunders also addresses two controversial aspects of the Nijmegen fighting. Why did the 82nd Airborne not make a major effort toward the poorly guarded Nijmegen Bridge right after the airdrop? Only two companies were dispatched toward the bridge late in the day and they were stopped by hastily deployed SS reinforcements. Saunder's assessment is that while Gavin's overall generalship was excellent, that he erred on the side of force protection over mission accomplishment. Gavin wanted to secure his vulnerable flanks before pushing into the city and did not expect significant German defenses. This was a mistake, but an understandable one. Consequently, the 82nd Airborne did not secure the Nijmegen Bridge until D+3, which doomed the British effort at Arnhem. Commanders should keep Gavin's dilemma in mind when evaluating force protection versus mission accomplishment. The other controversy concerns the British failure to exploit the American seizure of the Nijmegen Bridges on 20 September; the Americans on the spot criticized the British armor units for failing to push on the 10 miles to Arnhem. Saunders effectively demonstrates that a successful push to Arnhem on the night of 20 September was unlikely for a number of sound military reasons, and probably would have yielded a column of burning Sherman hulks along the road to Arnhem. Nevertheless, the issue of exploiting fleeting opportunities - particularly ones that could decide battles - is a vexing one. To his credit, Saunders examines these controversial issues objectively. Nijmegen also has interesting points to make about the role of luck in combat, particularly concerning the German failure to destroy any of the primary bridges in the area.

Another fine addition to a wonderful series!.......2002-04-07

I have a more recent edition of this book with a much more action oriented cover- historical military artist James Dietz's depiction of the 82nd Airborne attacking Nijmegen bridge on Sept. 20, 1944.

Tim Saunder's "Nijmegen" is the first of a trilogy of travel log/historical narratives about the fighting along the route to the Dutch city of Arnhem during Operation Market-Garden in Sept. 1944. The efforts of the U.S. 101st Airborne and British Guards divisions to secure the route from the Belgian border to the Dutch town of Veghel are covered in the second volume, "Hell's Highway." And a third volume, "The Island," will cover the action between Nijmegen and Arnhem. "Nijmegen," of course, covers the middle sector of the operation- the area between the Dutch cities of Grave and Nijmegen which was the responsiblity of the famed U.S. 82nd Airborne.

These books are part of a larger series called Battleground Europe whose purpose is to combine the historical narrative of a military operation with travel information for tourists wishing to view the battlefields. I was intially turned off by this concept because in my opinion the history detailed in most travel logs was often extremely lightweight and inaccurate. However, the purpose of the Battleground Europe series is to correct that perception of historical travel logs. I really can't say that the Battleground Europe Series are good travel books. They do have driving instructions, points of interest locations, very general lodging and eating recommendations, and photos of how these battlefields look today. But I can say that the books of this series are really, excellently detailed history books.

The books of this series are thin volumes with none of them being much more than 200 pages. The books themselves are physically small since they were designed to be travel books. Also, they're are plenty of photos, many of them historically rare, and maps spread throughout the books which further cuts down on the text. So what remains is a bare bones narrative which is occassionally intercut with veteran recollections. There is little analysis, although in "Nijmegen" and "Hell's Highway" the British author makes an occassional apologia for British XXX Corps. Also, no footnotes or bibliography are provided.

However, the narrative format is very well done. Since "Nijemgen" only concentrates on a portion of the massive Market-Garden operation, it's able to offer a much more detailed description of the 82nd's fight than most books that deal with the operation as a whole such as Cornelius Ryan's legendary "A Bridge Too Far." Also, the attention to historical detail is impressive with the author giving the correct types of vehicles and planes present during the action. (He even corrects some of the veterans' recollections such as when an American veteran mistakenly recalls the Typhoons supporting his unit as "Spitfires." An understandable mistake since I'm sure that man had more important things on his mind at the time than figuring out what type of plane was blasting the German positions opposite, but it sure makes it confusing to those who want to know the actual details. Stephen Ambrose should take note because he unquestionally accepts often inaccurate veteran descriptions of every German tank being a "Tiger" and every German gun being an "88.")

These are really a terrific set of books for any serious WWII buff. Please do not be scared off by the Dietz covers or the travel log format since these are actually excellent military history books. If you're looking for a straight narrative and some very interesting historical photos then I cannot more highly reccommend "Nijmegen" and the Battleground Europe series.

Book Description

In this fresh account of Benjamin Disraeli's life, Paul Smith looks at his unique character as a fusion of Jewishness and Anglicanism, outsider and insider, nationalist and European, Romantic and Tory; and shows how this formed his "appeal as an original and a card, the most piquant joker in the pack", a faintly raffish outsider who scaled the highest peaks of public life.

Customer Reviews:

Good, but not great.......2004-10-07

Overall, this brief biography offers an interesting portrait of a commanding political figure of the Victorian era. In order to fully appreciate Smith's rendition, however, one should become acquainted with (if not actually reading) Disraeli's novels, as his writing seems to be Smith's point of departure, and frequent point of reference in telling the story of Disraeli's life. I, for one, was less interested in linking the biographical themes in Disraeli's novels to his life's events, and more interested in capturing the essence of the epoch, with more detail and attention paid to the political developments of Disraeli's age.

A Too Brief Biography.......2001-05-20

Paul Smith attempts the impossible - to write a brief life - of the complex, remarkable and enigmatic Jewish politician and author Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. Smith almost pulls it off but another 50 or so pages would have given him much more scope to portray Disraeli's major contributions to the politics of identity, social and political reform and the recognition of the inevitability of working class emancipation. Smith allows his fascination with Dizzy's Jewishness and "outsider" status to overwhelm the other facets of his character and beliefs. Part of Dizzy's greatness as a politician was the ability to simultaneously portray himself as the ultimate outsider and the loyal, patriotic "insider." Until the election of Ramsey MacDonald as the first Labour Prime Minister in the 1920s, Disraeli stands alone as the most unlikely Prime Minister Britain ever had. Smith's book includes some good quotes from commentators such as Gladstone and Michael Foot. A book deserving a fuller treatment in its second edition but still a very useful introduction to its subject for young students of 19th century history.

Disraeli: A Brief Life.......2000-09-05

This is written for a british school person taking his or her O and or A levels. It is an enjoyeable read which put Disraeli in a comptempary historical view point. Yes, the Author actually compares Disraeli and his government to the tories of the 80's under the iron rule of Thatcher.

One man's journey to magic, enlightenment, & healing.......2003-02-09

Amazon Magic by Jaya Bear is the astonishing biography of Don Agustin Rivas Vasquez, an ayahuasquero, or shaman who is skilled in visionary and healing plant medicines. From his childhood in a small jungle town beside the Amazon river; to his spending a year living with an Indian tribe; to visionary encounters with plant, water, and jungle spirits; Amazon Magic presents to the reader an evocative and amazing story of one man's journey to magic, enlightenment, healing, and wisdom. Amazon Magic is enthusiastically recommended reading for students of Shamanism, Metaphysics, and indigenous life of Peruvian Amazon indians.

Brilliant! A must-read book!.......2001-10-26

This reviewer delights in learning, especially about people and cultures who can and did make an impact...and natural medicines that have their roots in a period thousands of years ago. So, when author Jaya Bear sent me her book, Amazon Magic, I discovered a wonderful opportunity and biography, as well as a narrative filled with mystery about a totally different reality.

Don Agustin Rivas Vasquez (1933-) was born in Tamshiyacu, Peru, a small jungle town along the Amazon River. What is was to grow up in this totally different (from us) environment...learn to be a shaman...and acquire the skills to use healing plant medicines such as ayahuasca, are the subjects of this fascinating new book.

Amazon Magic enables the reader to walk in the shoes of a shaman and understand his experiences and adventures...and his training and discipline to achieve his widely-regarded status as a profound healer. This reviewer was fascinated by not only plant medicines, but the spirits that reside in the jungle. And how ayahuasca, for instance, can help one see the spirits, and the demons. "Each of us has our demons, and ayahuasca shows them to us so we can face them and heal. Ayahuasca teaches us truth about ourselves".

Author, world traveler, artist and student of many spiritual cultures, Jaya Bear, felt drawn to travel to Peru after her husband died. She met Don Agustin Rivas Vasquez, and has continued to work closely with him since that time.

The result is Amazon Magic, a fascinating look at a culture and individual that have made an impact. Jaya Bear presents this revelation in an easily- read- and- understood fashion that captures Don Agustin's words, love and compassion!

Great jungle yarn.......2000-09-27

Many years on from THE WIZARD OF THE UPPER AMAZON this book is an engaging adventure story of the same time. Endearing frankness ... from multiple sexual adventures to cannibalism ... combine with a fearsome determination to excel in his shamanic world, years of undergoing plant diets (ayahuasca the principle plant medicine but there are many more discussed here) ... all make this man seem oddly trustworthy. The directness of style is nicely free of many literary conventions ... these are Don Agustin's most striking memories, told in a clear way, worked into a book by Jaya Bear. I enjoyed it as a fine adventure story, a great jungle yarn.

fascinating look at a true shaman.......1999-11-25

I am very pleased to see the life and work of Don Agustin Rivas in print. This man has and continues to lead a remarkable life. Having worked with Don Agustin as a teacher for several years and heard many of the stories, it is good to see that the book remains true to them and captures the heart of Don Agustin's adventures. The book focuses on Don Agustin's personal challenges and accomplishments, but also contains many teachings and wisdom from one who has sacrificed much to be of service to the people and to the Earth. I highly recommend this book to anyone wishing to know more about ayahuasca shamanism and/or the life of Don Agustin Rivas.
