Principles of Accounting, with Annual Report, Peachtree Complete Accounting

Book Description

This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.

Hamilton, Alexander, James Madison and John Jay. The Federalist: A Collection of Essays, Written in Favour of the New Constitution, As Agreed Upon by the Federal Convention, September 17, 1787. New-York: J. and A. M'Lean, 1788. Two volumes. Reprinted 2002 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. LCCN 2001037703. ISBN 1-58477-204-2. Cloth. $295. Special limited numbered (193 copies) edition facsimile reprint of the very rare first edition containing one original leaf from 1788 first edition bound in, and facsimile reprint of the complete text of the two volume first edition. "Most famous and influential American political work." Howes, U.S.IANA, 1650-1950 H114c. The views of Hamilton, Madison and Jay expressed in this landmark work have had a lasting effect on U.S. Constitutional law. Eighty-five of the essays were almost entirely written by Hamilton and Madison, and probably only five were written by Jay. Most of the individual essays appeared under the collective pseudonym "Publius" in New York newspapers and journals from October 27, 1787 to early June 1788. The first edition was published anonymously and printed by the M'Lean brothers, who collected and published the first 36 essays as Volume I in March, 1788, with the final 49 essays in Volume II in May of the same year, along with the text of the Constitution. The essays were intended to encourage ratification of the proposed constitution by New York State, but were immediately recognized as the most compelling commentary on the most radical form of government the world had seen. Hamilton's essays especially express a strong concern for the rights of property over the natural rights of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," as outlined by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence.

Esoteric and Enjoyable.......2007-09-16

Someone once told me that when The Name of the Rose was first published, it was the most-bought and least read book of its time. This I can believe. While The Name of the Rose is a spellbinding mystery, it is also dense and perhaps too pleased with its own erudition to make a big popular splash.

In the middle-ages, an elder monk and his young assistant journey to an Italian monastery to attend an important conference on church policy as the inquisition and concerns of heresy rage. The monastery, however, is shortly beset by a series of murders as a number of the monks turn up dead by means various and distressing. It is up to the elder monk and his assistant to discover the culprit and the root of the crimes - which seem to be linked to the monastery's well-appointed library.

Eco here creates a world that is believable and fascinating, and perfectly captures the middle-ages in his prose. However, to truly enjoy this book you must have at least a bit of a background in medieval history and the pressing issues of the day; if not, a lot of this book will go over the casual reader's head (unfortunately). Still, quite a ride, and recommended for the determined reader.

perseverance.......2007-06-09

Not being fluent in Italian I had to read this book in translation. I first got the english one (later it was also translated in Greek). What gave me a really hard time reading it, was the fact that the english translator had left the latin parts untranslated. Were they assuming that we all know Latin?. I know that there is now a book named the Key to the Name of the Rose which provides those translations but fifteen years ago when I first attempted to read this book it was unavailable. Does all that sound whiny and bitchy? Perhaps it is, but if I had let myself be discouraged by those difficulties I would have missed out on a truly superb book. This one has so many layers, so many levels on which it may be read that it could in my opinion be highly enjoyed by both the most profound lover of religious philosophy and the most avid fan of Sherlock Holmes-like "whodunits". Not to mention that the description of the library embodies every bibliophile's wet dream. And referring to some previous reviewers' comments that it supplies too much unnecessary information I will only mention that as Kavafy says sometimes the journey to a destination is more important to achieving the goal itself. So trust me and stick with this book to the end and you will not be disappointed. I most heartily commend it

Can be a difficult read.......2007-05-16

This book had a fantastic story and was rich in characterisation and setting however the book often used difficult and rare words, latin and introduced a vast array of characters which at times was hard to keep track of.

Medieval history in technicolor .......2007-05-06

This will be a difficult novel for anyone that does not have an academic background in the Middle Ages. Luckily, I have spent the past 3 years preparing with excellent surveys such as Norman Cantor (The Civilization of the Middle Ages), Joseph Strayer (The Middle Ages, 395-1500) and Morris Bishop (The Middle Ages). There is hardly a sentence that does not connect with a scholarly topic on the Middle Ages, which should come as no surprise as Eco was foremost a medieval scholar before he wrote this his first novel. The first 100 pages of the novel are like reading a medieval manuscript, trying to piece together what is known of Medieval history and figuring out what Eco is talking about, not unlike what happens with the characters in the novel. With that said, the novel can still be enjoyed by anyone without a medieval history background because of the excellent plot and Gothic atmosphere. The novel needs extensive annotations to fully appreciate (such as The Key to The Name of the Rose, although I found it lacking in many ways).

'Rose' works on many layers and can be approached from many perspectives. It's impossible to cover all the permutations in a single reading, indeed I have read it only once primarily a "reading for the plot" to understand the sequence of events. The movie helps in this regard, although it has some substantial "Hollywood" changes at the end and is much less subtle and interesting - recommend reading the novel first.

Most valuable for me was Eco brought to life the Guelphs vs Ghibellines dispute in color, shape and form that only fiction can achieve. It's the difference between intellectually understanding history versus emotionally experiencing, and for this alone the novel is priceless, the best of what historical fiction can achieve.

difficil but enjoyable.......2007-03-29

I am not going to include the plot and story of the novel, since it has already been done by many reviewers, quiet eloquently.
I finished this book in a grand total of 5 days which i unfortunately did not have. I say this not ostentatiously, nor do i mean that i skipped many parts. I read every thing. But to read this book, and to thoroughly enjoy it, one needs ample time. Again, as already stated before in other reviews, it is a difficult read especially if the reader is a "novice". 1. because i openly admit that i needed a dictionary( which i loved) and 2. because a reader has to distinguish between important passages that actually contribute to the story, and some passages that are merely there to dissuade the reader from attempting to brave this epic book.
The book is great, and is highly recommendable but i also had certain reservations. I did not understand why Mr. Umberto insisted on repeating many things in the novel. I can see why he would go over certain things to accentuate their importance,but certain times, i found it annoying as the same topic was expressed, only in different ways.
I dare say this is a pseudo mystery book. As Umberto himself says, the mystery in the book is only half , if even, as important to the actual story. The mystery, though, also plays an important part in giving this novel an actual shape.
Over all, excellent read. Read and revel in your intellectual glory.

A Nightmare You Should Strive to Miss.......2002-07-12

I was so disappointed with this book. I am a white woman who also grew up in Atlanta, and I don't identify with her experiences or feelings of horrible oppression at all. I found the book to be very tedious, filled with self-pity and lots of blame on others. The salacious title of the novel promises racy, exciting plot lines, but if that tempts you to buy this book, save your time and rent Sex and the City instead.

The first woman with the courage to write about it.......2001-10-06

Rosemary Daniell's memoir of her life as a Southern woman is unlike any that exists in literature. Because she has told it like it really is. For those readers who are interested in the truth about women in the South--and women everywhere--this book is for you.

Don't waste your money.......2001-05-01

I threw this book in the circular file after reading it. I can't believe that some book publisher would even bother to print this book. I feel that I have been fleeced of $15.95. This was a "staff recommendation" at my local bookstore. Gag....Once again, I feel that the P.C. culture is promoting more lies, misinformation and garbage and calling it art.

Rosemary Daniell has led a tragic life which she portends is the result of a lineage born out of southern womanhood. As a native southerner, I was insulted. She may have been born in the South, but, basically, she has lived a so-called white trash existence which is not exclusively a southern phenomenon. Ms. Daniell has made about every bad choice women can make in their lives regarding relationships, honoring your self, motherhood, etc.

When she repeatedly claims that the Jimmy Carter family typifies southern culture and that Rosalynn Carter is an ideal of southern womanhood, I was further insulted.

Rosemary Daniell is a "victim" of too many drugs and too much dysfunctionality not her southern upbringing. Besides being sophomoric in reasoning and rambling in content, this book is not worthy of anyone's time or money. Don't buy it.

The most honest book of all time.......2001-01-04

This is a chronicle of writer Rosemary Daniell's life. Subjects we wouldn't dare discuss in public like sexuality are discussed so frankly. Gosh, the world has waited too long for a great work like this. She touches on subjects like the criteria for the feminine woman, the pure image of women that was maintained in the South( even though this is one of those universal cultural traits), as well as literature ,particularly Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind, that has visioned the South as some polite haven with delicate, feminine women. Other tough topics tackled is the cultural trait of woman as the modest, passive supplicant to the dominant, sexually aggressive man ( I am sorry I can't explain in complete sentences: I am not that eloquent) as well as her curiosity in her own sexuality.

Of course, honesty comes with a price: unpleasantness. Her life is certainly not pretty. But a good dose of reality can be nourishing.

A Triumph To Honesty.......2000-12-29

Rosemary Daniell's memoir, Fatal Flowers, resonantes with an honesty that strips away the stereotypical image foisted onto women, especially southern women, over centuries of male-dominated myth-making, and so, image-making. Born in 1936 and a product of the deep south, I grew up always feeling alone and alienated. Later in life I figured out the reason I felt so 'outside the pale'. I refected this simpering, asexual image of the southern belle. Reading a memoir such as this makes one realize that depression, and even suicide, are sometimes the result of trying to fit into this too-restrictive mold. A recent study showed that female students are on a par with male students (or even ahead of them, academically) until they reach puberty. I wonder how much of our spiritual, intellectual and creative growth is stifled along with our sexuality by trying vainly to fit into this stereotype? This book, along with others, such as Erica Jong's Fear Of Flying, and Marilyn French's Her Mother's Daughter, will pave the way for others to write openly and rebelliously about their own experiences of grwoing up in this oppressive, restrictive society. Perhaps books like this will eventually break the final taboos against southern female sexuality. A must read for anyone who wants an honest appraisal of our ever-emerging female psyche. I highly recommend this fook.

The Log of The Skipper's Wife.......2000-09-13

What makes this book classic is not only Dora's experiences while sailing on board the Hopkins. It is taking history, word for word, and placing it down nearly a century later. The human factor, the "norm" of the day, the context of cultures measured against our own are most interesting. Like other books of this kind, Dora takes us back to a 1911/12 reality and makes the soul search itself for it's own place in today's seafaring world.

Loved this book!.......1998-09-29

This book is the actual log of a young woman who met and married a Maine sea captain and sailed around the world with him c.1911 on a schooner. The story of how they met makes it worth reading, let alone all the adventures and characters she describes so colorfully and humorously. I think she must have been a delightful person to know,. and she speaks with a surprisingly contemporary voice. The only thing that bothered me about this book is that while she wrote the journal, her name isn't even printed on the cover! Only her son's name, and he was the editor. Go figure!
