Good desk reference.......2004-03-07
I just got a copy of "The essential dictionary of investing and finance" and I feel it is a good book to refer back to since it is filled with useful terms in several categories such as bonds, stocks, general investing, mutual funds, etc... it even covers some technical analysis terminology.
I believe that this book will be really handy whenever I am reading something online or in other investment books/publications and don't know the meaning of the word.
The guy who wrote this book (Jerry M. Rosenberg) sounds very interesting. He's a professor at Rutgers University's Business School and he has authored 28 books (most of which are business related dictionaries.)
I believe this book is a really good addition to my library and will be an excellent desk reference.

Helpful.......2005-10-11
The study guide is helpful when used along with the textbook. There is a summary of each chapter with plenty of T/F questions to determine if you understand the material from the chapters, and there are detailed explanations for false answers.
Inter. Accounting.......2005-08-03
This book along with the Student Survival Guide was a great help to me. I just walked out of class with a 100 on my last test! Now for the final. Not near as nervous because these books have pushed me to remember the information that I normally wouldn't. Great buy!!
good reference.......2004-12-15
This was a pretty good study guide to go along w/ chapters 1-14 of kieso's intermediate accounting textbook (vol.1, 11th edition). Some of the lecture notes my prof. used were taken directly from the study guide - so there was some reptition. But there are also test questions such as T/F, multiple choice, and examples/self-tests for you to work on as you go through each chapter that helped out.
The text is pretty good and thorough for intermediate accounting - sometimes the study guide was a good help as far as summarizing ideas with key terms/key ideas in bold. The T/F questions and multiple choice helped as far as narrowing down important concepts and trying to gather what was really important - this is beyond the homework/and reading the text.
Overall - a pretty good supplement to the textbook and worth getting if you are serious about accounting/business/finance in the long run.
Customer Reviews:
Wrong title.......2002-01-08
This book is not the text. It is the study guide that accompanies the text. There are 20+ chapters in this paperback study guide which adds to the confusion.

Intermediate Accounting, 10th Edition.......2005-09-24
This book is designed in a simple and understandable way. The author has included so many practical case studies in this book. Important topics and Accounting Terms have been presented so effectively and the whole presentation is excellent.
Not a good fanatic of it.......2003-08-10
The chapters are ok.I had to carry this book almost everyday to class!; its so big and heavy. And I also didn't like the examples and excersises of it because you can't barely understand them.
Intermediate Accounting by Kieso and Weygandt.......2003-07-19
This text was utilized by me in graduate school and in studying
for and passing the Uniform CPA Examination. The work has
a thorough coverage of theory and practice. It is geared for
accounting majors or more advanced business students.
Few texts provide the "bold-font" presentation of an accounting
term followed by the accompanying definition. The problem sets
are challenging. The text will help you to study for the CPA
examination because the presentation contains many problem
sets geared to prepare students for rigorous examinations.
The text is well worth the price .
USC Accounting School.......2003-01-06
I'm at the Leventhal school of accounting. This is the book we use in our intermediate accounting class. I found the Problem Solving survival guides that came with the book to be invaluable. This is an awesome accounting text.
There is no other like it.......2002-10-21
When it comes to Intermediate Accounting, this book provides a better framework than any other period. I used the 9th edition while in College, and have re-ordered the 10th edition for the CPA exam. Quite frankly, not even the great Becker Convisor is as good as this book. Maybe I find it better than others because this is what I had used while taking intermidiate accounting. I have looked at other textbooks, and they could not match Mr. Keiso's textbook in organization nor could they match it in ability to explain complex issues in an easy to understand manner. This book should be in any employee's office who must deal with accounting issues and needs guidance occasinaly. I must warn you, this edition is outdated as there have been many changes since the Sarbanes-Oxley act was passed by congress. So, you may want to wait until the 11th edition comes out, as that will master all of the changes that have occured in the industry since ENRON and WORLDCOM's collapse.
If you are someone who feels overwhelmed by the entire subject, this book will organize it into compartments and allow you to understand not only the entire framework, but the details as well.

Intermediate Accounting.......2004-12-16
This book is sooo boring..... it makes my finance and economics books fun. It is by far the worst book: dry and confusing. As a matter of fact, after this class is over, I am goin right ahead and sell this book because it is worthless and pointless to have it.

Book Description
As electric restructuring spreads rapidly across countries and states, leading industry experts are increasingly concerned that in many instances policy makers are pushing their proposals into practice more quickly than policy analysts can provide answers to difficult questions of market design. In this process, different structures for organizing this industry are evolving without a firm basic understanding of their implications for long-term market performance. There is a risk that, in the process, we may be inadvertently locked into an inferior market design that will be costly to change. Designing Competitive Electricity Markets develops some guiding principles to be used when evaluating alternative proposals for reorganizing the US electric power industry. Preliminary versions of the papers in this book were presented at a Workshop convened by the Electric Power Research Institute and held at Stanford University in March 1997. The authors are prominent economists, operation researchers, and engineers who have been instrumental in the development of the conceptual framework for electric power restructuring both in the United States and in other countries. The intended audience for this volume includes policy-makers, policy-oriented academics, and corporate leaders with an interest in designing workable and more efficient electricity markets. The arguments in each chapter are based upon sound economic principles but do not require expertise in mathematical modeling or technical economic analysis.

Tasty bread recipes you probably won't find anywhere else.......2007-09-16
My mom gave me this book with a used bread machine and both have held up great. I love that the recipes are experimental and he tried all kinds of flours, grains and flavors. Some favorites are Graham Cracker Bread, Peanut Butter Bread, Maple Oat Bread, Oatmeal Bread, just to name a few! When I started having problems with sugar and carbs, I found the Steel Cut Oat Bread and Garbanzo Bread to be lifesavers. I've had little trouble with having the recipes turn out right, unless I've made a mistake, although the Steel Cut Oat Bread has taken lots of tweaking. I never cook in the machine and wish there was some discussion of that in the book (I usually try 375deg for 30mins), but that's a minor issue. It would be nice too if the recipes were sized for whole packets of yeast, but again, minor problem. I was hoping to find that there was another fantastic Langer bread cookbook on here, but I guess after the "Complete Bread Machine Bakery Book", that's asking a lot! For anyone who likes experimenting with their food and love bread, this is the book for you.
Instant Favorites from Langer (again)!.......2003-12-16
Of all our bread machine books, Langer's has provided more favorites than any other. Who'd have thought that semolina flour would make such great bread --no one could resist the sesame-semolina bread. A review here has been delayed for too long because each bread I've tried has been an instant favorite leaving little motivation for trying more recipes.
So far I've never had a failure with a recipe, although I've needed to make an adjustment now and then, such as adding a bit of liquid to offset the dryness of flours in our dry air, or replacing a tablespoon or two of the flour with pure gluten flour to compensate for the weak flours found in Western markets. Part of learning to use a bread machine is learning to make such adjustments and to evaluate the dough while it's being kneaded by the machine (there's an excellent discussion in an early chapter) --it's a pity so many books pretend that good bread will always follow a by-the-numbers adherence to the instructions. My one criticism of this book for a beginner is that suggestions for evaluating a dough and making adjustments are too often separated from recipes.
I don't know that I'd recommend _any_ book to be used alone by a breadmaking or bread machine beginner, including the manuals that come with the machines, but Langer's book will certainly be one of the most useful adjuncts to the manuals. It's become my favorite of the several books I've received since being given a bread machine, and I'm giving a copy of it with every bread machine I buy for a gift-- in the hope that Langer's immense appreciation of bread and freewheeling love of experimentation will sustain a beginner's breadmaking beyond the manuals and beyond the first disappointments (inevitable to any bread machine beginner regardless of the recipes he uses). The array of European-style breads and especially rye breads is especially tempting. The book goes far beyond table breads with many sweet yeast and quick breads and other fascinating concoctions.
As always, Langer instructions are clear, the asides (especially the descriptions of bread experiments which didn't make the book) entertaining, and the illustrations by Susan McNeill pleasing and encouraging. There is an extra: somehow Langer has persuaded his publisher to achieve the perfect cookbook format: spiral bound pages within a hard board cover. It's the best of two worlds: the widely wire-bound pages open perfectly flat and the cover protects the pages --and there is a spine for the title so you don't lose the book on the shelves.
If you know your bread machine well, this book's a gem.......2003-08-29
I signed out a copy of this book at my local library, and I regretted taking it back! I can't wait to receive my own copy. Since manufactured breads (all of them) include High Fructose Corn Syrup (which the body stores immediately as fat), my husband and I have decided to put our bread machine to work, and we have made dozen of whole grain loaves that rivel the very best store-bought! Mr. Langer's book opened up yet another chapter for me, providing outstanding recipes that are, granted, experimental, but definitely tastey and well-tested--from breads to biscottis to cakes. Each and every recipe I tried from this book worked beautifully.
If you know your machine well, you'll find this book a gem. If you still struggle with your machine, spend some time with the breadbook that came with the unit first. Since each machine brand is a bit different, it's worth the time to get to know its quirks. Once that's done, the world of breads is all yours. And this book is a terrific atlas!
Is it me, my bread machine or this book?.......1999-10-17
Maybe it's me, maybe it's my bread machine, or maybe it's this book, but I've yet to produce a bread that is good enough to repeat. Although I still haven't given up all hopes for the recipes in this book, I'm not impressed and I find myself using my other bread machine books first. Sometimes I couldn't be bothered to read through the stories, lengthy descriptions and repetitive instructions just to get to the actual recipe. I prefer simplicity and easy to read recipes, especially when I bake my breads first thing in the morning.
Not happy with any of the recipes.......1999-08-17
so far the breads using Canadian floors have been very unsucessful
