If you have to read an accounting book.......2005-09-27

This book is easy to follow and cuts to the chase, no filler. It is way less expensive than any other accounting book and the man who wrote knows what he's talking about because he worked in the industry in the accounting department for over 20 years. I only know this because he is my professor. Good luck with the book and you are bound to learn a lot from it.

Book Description

One of the most important trends in information systems today is the increasing use of electronic data interchange whereby paper is replaced by electronic communication for transactions between companies. Written for financial and accounting professionals as well as the MIS managers with whom they interface, this book offers a comprehensive discussion of the elements of EDI systems that are particularly useful in finance and accounting applications. Thierauf introduces the underlying framework for EDI, comparing it to the present paper operating mode; explains the fundamentals of national and international electronic communication, and explores the hardware and software necessary as well as the typical costs involved. Numerous real-world case studies are included to demonstrate the feasibility, development, and implementation of EDI systems in finance, accounting, and banking operations. The text's structure follows a logical sequence from concept through application designed to assist the typical end user in the design and installation of an EDI system. Part One shows the relationship of EDI systems to various types of management information systems and discusses factors underlying both U.S. and international systems. In Part Two, Thierauf investigates the currently available EDI hardware and software and presents a custom-designed approach to software. In the final chapter of Part Two, Thierauf provides in-depth treatment of typical EDI applications as well as the design considerations for their development. The feasibility of undertaking an EDI system and detailed procedures for developing and implementing such a system form the focus of Part Three. Separate chapters cover EDI in strategic planning, banking, finance, and accounting. Numerous figures amplify points made in the text. In addition to providing a thorough guide to EDI for accounting, finance, and MIS professionals, this volume will also be ideal as a supplemental text for undergraduate and graduate courses in business information systems.

From the supplier: It is essential that tax departments keep abreast of the workplace opportunities and audit challenges provided by electronic data interchange (EDI). EDI allows businesses to communicate information directly, eliminating the need for paper copies that have to be input by the recipient. While a more efficient way of doing business, EDI poses additional challenges to the auditor used to following the paper trail. Task forces are currently addressing the record-keeping and internal control challenges imposed by EDI.

Worthwhile Controversy.......2005-05-11

There is no doubt about Bruce Clarke's passion for Aboriginal people in Canada and the U.S. He staked his legal career on such concerns. His passion has made him controversial in many circles in North America. This autobiography/adventure story confirms that.

Clarke presents an interesting legal avenue to pursue Aboriginal concerns and claims within North America. The problem is that no one, and I mean absolutely no one, appears very willing to listen. Clarke appeals to a legal precident that has never been over-ruled and therefore remains binding on all courts within North America. It is a good argument. However, no court will admit it or even listen to Clarke, usually for procedural reasons. The argument, even though valid, keeps getting shut down in court. It may be of consequence that Clarke has a knack for becoming involved with several explosive situations in an attempt to have the courts hear his argument. He is unsuccessful. He is eventually disbarred as a lawyer.

This is a most unusual story, more likely to be found in communities practicing oral traditions. Seldom do we find stories like this within the larger, dominant culture. Although Aboriginal viewpoints are not fully explored, it is Clarke's point of view is facinating and insightful. Moreover, Clarke provides very helpful appendices which support and compliment the text.

This book is a good read, whether you agree with Clarke or not. It provides insight into why he did what he did. Arguably, It is not justification of his deeds, but a call to the reader to examine difficult issues which we want to ignore in our daily lives. It is presented in a well-reasoned argument. Although it may appear that Clarke is bombastic, loud, and obnoxious, I found that he becomes a little more humble along the way (i.e., "Bonfire of the Vanities"). For better or worse, Clarke discovers a little more about himself and the world in which he lives. In turn, we, as readers, ought to do the same.

Is This about justice.......2000-04-09

I have not read the book but wonder about the author who has such a desregard for public safety, public order of the role of the police to protect us from violence. His behaviour during the Gustafsen Lake occupation revealed someone on the edge and held him up to widespread public ridicule.

Galileo vs. Canada.......2000-03-19

This is Bruce Clark's third book on the legality of Native land claims in North America. His first two books were: Indian Title In Canada (Carswell Law Publishers, Toronto, 1986) and Native Liberty, Crown Sovereignty: The Existing Aboriginal Right of Self-Government in Canada (McGill-Queen's University Press, Montreal, 1990).

Dr. Clark has made a career of defending native land claims in Canada and the US, based on legal arguments that the taking of native lands without purchase or treaty, by US and Canadian federal and/or state and provincial governments, has been unlawful. The argument is so open-and-shut, that courts refuse to hear it, since part of the argument is that the courts do not have jurisdiction. In over 40 cases, the court has refused to hear or respond to the argument. It is based on 18th century British constitutional law, which has not been repealed, and which is still in force in Canada and the USA. Starting with the Jackson administration in the US, the governments have simply decided to ignore the law on this matter. In the 1690s one of the branches of the great Mohican tribe made a treaty with the colony of Connecticut. The colony then allowed settlers onto the land. The Indians objected, saying the purpose of the treaty had been to prevent settlers from moving in. Connecticut felt the purpose was so that it could allow the settlers to move in. Absolutely opposite viewpoints of the same document. Rather than go to war, the Mohicans wanted to find a peaceful rule of law solution. But they did not want to go into the court system that the colony of Connecticut had set up, since doing that would admit that the intruding settlers had legal jurisdiction. And Connecticut would not accept the Mohican court. The Mohicans petitioned Great Britain's Queen Anne to find a solution. On March 9, 1804, as recommended by the Privy Council, Queen Anne issued an Order in Council (meaning that this decision was constitutionally binding on the British Crown and on all colonial governments in North America) asserting three principles: 1) Creation of a third-party court to adjudicate land disputes between Native Peoples and the colonial governments of the European settlers; 2) This court was to be a trial-level court; 3) Appeals against decisions by this court would be heard by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. From 1704 when the Mohicans first applied to the Queen to the beginning of the American Revolution in 1776, the case of Mohegan Indians vs. Connecticut was regarded as the single most important case in the history of the British Empire. It guaranteed colonized peoples the right to independent and impartial third-party adjudication in human rights matters. The genius of that court case was that, if it had not (illegally) been ignored, it could have prevented genocide in North America. Dr. Clark has been disbarred by the Ontario Law Society for making these arguments, and has been charged with contempt of court for making these arguments, even though the courts refuse to hear the arguments; hence, there is no basis for the court to say that they are wrong arguments. Dr. Clark's writing of this book is further basis for contempt of court. Like Galileo, Dr. Clark's only escape from imprisonment for making an argument is to renounce that argument. Which he refuses to do.

Law is based on Truth. Arguments are not disproved by the use of force of punishment and jail.

An impressive Native American issues survey and biography........2000-02-04

Justice In Paradise recounts how a commitment to Native rights and an extraordinary passion for the rule of law have determined the course of Bruce Clark's life. From a childhood in an Indian residential school, to the defense of aboriginal rights before the Word Court, to being disbarred, Clark's struggle has led him to fight against the justice system itself. Justice In Paradise explains the legal and philosophical position behind Clark's opposition to the Indian rights industry. Clark argues that the North American legal system causes the genocide of those indigenous peoples who embrace traditional religion and identity and accuses those who administer it with chicanery and abandoning the rule of law. Clark turned his back on a comfortable lawyer's life to defend the rule of law and Native rights across the whole of North America. Justice In Paradise is a candid, fascinating biography that will prove fascinating to students of law, Native American rights, and non-specialist general readers who enjoy reading of men and women who make their mark upon the world with an untiring and activist devotion to their ideals and principles.

Yes yes yes!.......2003-06-16

As a Key West resident of over 10 years, and loving the book, I am buying 3 more copies! Actually, the book is more about Monroe County & City government than just about Key West. Everyone moving to the Keys should be required to read this book, to prevent cultural shock. I hope there is going to be a Part 2! Mr. Burch, PLEASE send a copy to Governor Bush and to Bill O'Reilly of the O'Reilly Factor. There are plenty of more victims, and no relief in sight.

true true true.......2001-09-23

I have not read this book , but as a former resident of Key West this book's title made me laugh out loud!!
I cannot count how many times I witnessed the Bubbas in action!!
Well , I guess it is a comfort to know -what goes around , comes around!!

Five Stars for the person who had the courage to write this and I hope to God, if you are living in Monroe County that you remain anonymous, although I am sure this would be impossible considering that your book is No. 1 in Key West!!

Victim of Bubba Justice.......2000-12-09

I own and read Bubba Justice and can say that it is a true depiction of life in Key West. Because I am a 4th generation Conch, lived there all my life and was one of the "victims" in the book I had a marked interest in the subject matter. It is well-written, accurate at least as to my story, humorous at times, disturbing at others but believable. The only "Bubbas" that are laughing have not yet been "tried in the Bubba Courts."

Bubbas laughing.......2000-01-17

This book does not truly follow through on its promise. It is poorly written and must have been vastly entertaining to the powers that be. You can get more out of a John Leslie or Laurence Shames mystery as to the workings of Bubbaville than from this book.

Welcome to Paradise??.......1999-06-24

Bubba Justice in Key West should be madatory for anyone planning to move to the Keys. It covers many of the actions of the Monroe County Government and its employees that have been perpetrated on the unbelieving residents of the Florida Keys. Some stories will make you laugh, most will make you cry when you see the absolute stupidity that passes for doing business in the county.

A Book of Crucial Importance.......2004-03-25

This is a book that everyone interested in Florida history must have in their collection. Anyone interested in the life of frontier people will also find the information in this book fascinating. Dr. Denham's meticulous research is apparent on every page. It seems that there is not a court record or newspaper that he failed to look at. I am an avid reader of Florida history and I would consider this book one of the most professional, yet accessible, of all.
