Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars It is the finest book of its type that I have ever seen........1999-11-09

It can be used by anyone, regardless of the level of their business and accounting knowledge. In this regard, I agree with the comments made by Leon Lebensbaum as set forth on the cover: "Will well serve both the neophyte and the experienced practitioner."

1 out of 5 stars Wiley is better.......1999-07-22

I found a couple errors which is no fun when you are using a technical book as a reference source. The only other GAAP book I've used is Wiley and I think it is a much better option.

                      Book Description

                      Black-and-white Holstein cows dot Vermont's landscape: a visual feast of valleys and lakes dissected by the lush Green Mountains. Vermont has the highest ratio of cows to people of any state in our country: one cow for every four people who live there. Woody Jackson has lived there for more than twenty-five years. He has watched the seasons pass from glorious autumn foliage, to winter's many months of cold and snow, to muddy spring, to the green, green Vermont summertime. Always present are the cows. This beautiful alphabet book will appeal to adults and young children alike.

                      5 out of 5 stars This is so cute!.......2007-01-16

                      I like non-traditional alphabet books, the ones that don't always use apple for "a" and x-ray for "x." This one not only has fun new words, it has great pictures to go with it.

                      Viva la Zucchini!

                      4 out of 5 stars sweet alphabet book.......2005-01-13

                      This is a basic concept picture book about the alphabet. Each page features a letter and a word that starts with that letter. In each illustration there is a cow. The illustrator Woody Jackson also does the drawings that are on the side of Ben and Jerry's ice cream containers.


                      I read this book aloud to my 1 ½ year old sister. She seemed to enjoy looking at all the cows in each picture. She tried to "read" the book along with me.

                      I would recommend this book for parents to read aloud to the 1-4 croud. They will learn a lot about the alphabet in a fun way.

                      5 out of 5 stars Cows for all seasons.......2003-10-07

                      Woody Jackson's Cow's Alfalfa-Bet tells of cows in Vermont, using a very simple one-letter A-B-C and paintings to depict cows for all seasons. Early readers with a special interest in cows will find this delightful.

                            Book Description

                            ISRR, the "International Symposium on Robotics Research", is one of robotics’ pioneering symposia, which has established some of the field's most fundamental and lasting contributions over the past two decades. This book presents the results of the eleventh edition of "Robotics Research" ISRR03, offering a broad range of topics in robotics. The contributions provide a wide coverage of the current state of robotics research: the advances and challenges in its theoretical foundation and technology basis, and the developments in its traditional and new emerging areas of applications. The diversity, novelty, and span of the work unfolding in these areas reveal the field's increased maturity and expanded scope, and define the state of the art of robotics and its future direction.

                                  Book Description

                                  True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends, writes Gerald Pomper in this original contribution to the literature of U.S. politics. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes by "just doing their jobs" during national crises, he offers a provocative definition of heroism and fresh reasons to respect U.S. institutions and the people who work within them. This new paperback edition includes photographs, an introductory chapter on American heroism after 9/11, a survey of the meanings of heroism in U.S. popular culture, and an original concluding theory of "ordinary" heroism.

                                  True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends, says Gerald M. Pomper in this original and thoughtful book. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes during national crises, he offers a new definition of heroism and new reasons to respect American institutions and the people who work within them. Pomper describes how responsible, good individuals can emerge as heroes from such core democratic institutions as the House of Representatives, the Senate, the courts, the presidency, and the press. From the censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy to the prohibition of the dangerous drug thalidomide in the United States, American heroes "just doing their jobs" have played crucial roles in resolving national problems. Pomper considers why democratic heroism is unique and explores the special bond between America's political institutions and the heroes they empower.

                                    This is one of those gems, or Diamonds in the rough that comes along once in a very long while. It should stand the test of time and become a classic in its own right.

                                    About the author:

                                    Dave Whiteman was born in 1954 in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. He still lives in a small town in that valley raising his children. Dave is a single parent who originally wrote these stories so that his three sons would know of a special place, with special people, during a magical time, long, long ago. His children are his biggest fans and describe their Dad and his book with their quote "Never judge a book by its Author!" Dave's parents worked in the sawmills and feed-stores of yesteryear, and through example, taught their kids a very strong work ethic and unique outlook on life. They raised themselves and their five rambunctious, hell bent for leather, and just plain strange children, out in the country. Dave thinks it was the town's idea that his family live out in the country as he believes the town wasn't ready for his renegade siblings or their adventures. After reading these stories, you will tend to agree.

                                    About the book:

                                    These are the tales of Dave's adventurous, yet accident filled, youth set in a mostly rural environment. These stories will make you laugh until you cry, scratch your head in total puzzlement, just plain cry and then laugh some more, all the while bringing back many memories of your own childhood, or thankful that these weren't your childhood memories. Some of his laughter and pain, may be your own gain. His body of work has been compared to a cross between Patrick McManus and Garrison Keillor. His body has been compared to a cross between Fabio and Woody Allen. His mind has been compared to a cross between Shakespeare and biscuits & gravy. His stories are a down home account of the last forty years in this changing world. They remind us of some of the simpler times of days gone by. The stories are all true and as he says, "There are plenty of court records, witnesses, physical and emotional scars to prove all of them!"

                                    The book contains 65 chapters and these are a few of the many subjects and exploits within:

                                    How Nutria came to Oregon - Little Connestogas or Spaceships? What mice and the Boot Scoot Boogie have in common, What the police did with the dead deer riding Dave's bicycle, Skinny-dipping with monsters, What love and moonstruck watermelon have in common, Elvis and the bloated cow, Raiding apple orchards at midnight, Why streaking and strolling are not conducive, Crawling naked into a nutria den, Why sometimes FIRE! Just happens, What NOT to do when FIRE! Just happens, Fighting Dust Spitting Cobras on a Christmas Tree farm, What 007, Calvin Klein, J.Edgar Hoover, and the Beatles had to do with bean picking, Hitchhiking do's and don'ts, The dangers of troutsicles, Why cats, pistachio's and bicycles can't be trusted, The downside to converting a chicken coop into a sauna, (Believe it or not, there is an upside) Surviving your siblings in the country, Seeking fame and fortune in Alaska, Porcupines in my pants, And many, many more.
