Best book on the market.......2006-01-07
I'm a professor at a large state university. On the rare occasions when I teach this course, I always order the Edmonds book.
I believe the purpose of introductory or fundamental financial accounting is to teach students how to read and use finanacial statements. If used properly by the instructor, this is one of only two books on the market (the other is for MBA students) that can be used for this purpose.
I whole-heartedly endorse the horizontal model used by Edmonds, et. al. Most text book writers use a form of it. I even use it in my writings.
Some students want to learn debits and credits. In my opinion, this is best left to technical courses in accounting for those interested in the nuts and bolts.
However, for anyone who want to get something long-lasting from the course, this text book combined with the right professor, will be about the only option.
If this or any text book is used to teach technical aspects at the fundamental level, you won't have a good experience. Techinical aspects are best covered in Intermediate Accounting.
Better download the PowerPoint®.......2005-08-01
This text is abysmal. It is riddled with errors and omissions, gives incomplete examples, and presents information unsequentially. It relies too much and for too long on the horizontal model without practical applicatoin to journals and statements. If your college uses this text (as Medaille College and Finger Lakes Community College currently do) run away!
Fortunately, many of the gaps are filled in by the PowerPoint® presentations they make available on their support site: http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0072472960/student_view0/ Note that these presentations are more extensive than the ones on the Topic Tackler CD that comes with the book. You must download these presentations if you want to have a chance with this book.
A good book with the right instructor.......2002-08-02
I've read the reviews stating that this is a confusing book. I disagree completely. Although the author does not immediately delve into traditional T-accounts, the introduction of the "horizontal model" serves as a good foundation for building the awareness of the accounting equation that should be second nature BEFORE tackling T-accounts. The text's preface states: "A horizontal financial statements model replaces the accounting equation as the predominant teaching platform. The model enables students to VISUALIZE THE SIMULTANEOUS EFFECTS OF A SINGLE BUSINESS EVENT on the income statement, balance sheet, and statement of cash flows." I felt as though this methodology was very effective for my learning style. Recording transactions in T-accounts came almost as second nature after mastering the horizontal model.
The "Working Papers" (a separate workbook) makes doing the assigned problems easy by providing a ready-made template for each problem. If you've had to draw your own T-accounts or your own journal in a notebook before, you will definitely appreciate this.
This text serves as a good introduction to the skills necessary to master financial accounting.
Most Confusing Accounting Textbook On The Market Today........2000-10-27
This Book begins using something called horizontial statments and then in chapter 5 switches to regular T accounts thus confusing students completely, I have yet to find a student that tells me the book is easy to understand or useful. It would be helpful if there was a solutions manual. Our school will change books next semester. It's not even good enough to make dorm furniture.
Great college companion!.......2000-10-20
This book is an excellent book to go with a Financial Accounting course. Everything is laid out in plain English, and shows you in diagrams and models exactly how each kind of transaction works. I recommend for professors everywhere to adopt this book for their clases. I'm glad mine did!

Book Description
This book examines how compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act is achieved and maintained.
Book Description
This book describes how corporate powers have erected a rapacious system of intellectual property rights to confiscate the benefits of creativity in science and culture. This legal system threatens to derail both economic and scientific progress, while disrupting society and threatening personal freedom. Perelman argues that the natural outcome of this system is a world of excessive litigation, intrusive violations of privacy, the destruction system of higher education, interference with scientific research, and a lopsided distribution of income.
Customer Reviews:
frustrating.......2006-05-12
Perelman catalogs a litany of injustices (perceived and real) associated with intellectual property. The injustices themselves are fairly interesting, but Perelman's analysis is shrill and unashamedly biased - every case builds into his thesis that intellectual property is evil and must be replaced...
But this is the biggest problem with the book - 150 pages of criticism of the system that builds to a crescendo of NOTHING. At the end of the book he reveals that he doesn't have any idea of how the system could be improved or what it could be replaced with; even an implausible or unworkable suggestion would be better than none at all.
In the end I was left disappointed but not altogether unsurprised.
The author needs to do his research.......2005-03-14
I practice patent law, and believe there needs to be a serious reconsideration of intellectual property rights and economic incentives for research in this country.
Unfortunately, I cannot take this book seriously, and will return it rather than finish reading it. In reading perhaps 30 pages of the book, I noted quite a number of basic errors or mischaracterizations of patent laws and the basic mechanics of obtaining patents.
Perhaps he has some good arguments to make about IP rights. I might even agree with some of them. However, he has either failed to do his legal research properly or he has deliberately mischaracterized patent laws. Either way, his credibility is shot with me.
The Silent Thieves.......2002-10-17
Street thieves are incarcerated and corporate thieves are rewarded in our society. I have read Professor Perelman's book "Steal This Idea" twice and feel I am just coming to grips with the silent government running our country. Corporate America is the enemy of democracy through its donations to elected officials, retainers to influential Washington law firms, and its control of our media.
Dwight D. Eisenhower stated, "Every step we take toward making the State the caretaker of our lives, by that much we move toward making the State our master." Corporations have merged to purge Americans of their wealth, creativity, and civil rights. Professor Perelman is to be commended for his exposition "How Intellectual Property Rights Enrich the Few While Undermining Liberty, Science, and Society." Read this book and you will learn how your civil rights and your freedom are slipping away rapidly.
I also bought five books for friends, as I didn't want them to be walking around in a fog not knowing what we have become as a nation. Karl Marx wrote, "In the valley of the blind with one eye you can be king." We are in the valley. Read the book, wake up, and be your own king.
Who shall own knowledge?.......2002-07-10
Why does our property rights system grant huge sums of money to people who did nothing to create the knowledge that is the source of their wealth? Should so-called "private" corporations be allowed to make hundreds of millions of dollars off Federal and State court cases? Should workers be thrown in jail for filing patents in ideas that the companies they've worked at have ignored as unworthy of consideration for patenting?
These kinds of issues strain our sense of just what property is and as Michael Perelman shows in his clearly written text full of actual yet surreal economic events, the US, indeed the global community of nations, is in dire need of a serious rethinking of property rights in knowledge information and natural resources if we are to avoid the litigatory nuthouse.
Professor Perelman also notes that without a cultural rethink inequalities of income, wealth and power will, in all probability, get even worse, with tragic repercussions for democracy, liberty and the production of future knowledge as well.
By investigating scores and scores of episodes from economic history, both recent and remote, Professor Perelman also shows that was has traditionally been called a free market is in fact a legal oxymoron, as well as inconsistent with what we now know from economic and political theory. As such his book holds important lessons regarding what kinds of questions we need to be asking in all seriousness regarding how our modes of organizing work and citizenship may actually stifle freedom and creativity in producing and distributing knowledge and information.
In an era when genomes, ecosystems and algorithms are being commodified and appropriated at such a frenzied pace, we would do well to ask as many questions as possible about who shall benefit and who will be burdened. All in all, a must read.

Book Description
In Capital Markets and Company Law, the contributors attempt to investigate the relationship between company law, securities markets and securities regulation, or 'Capital Market Law'. This is an interdisciplinary project, involving scholars and practitioners of law and economics, policy makers, and corporate finance and management specialists from both sides of the Atlantic. It illustrates the increasing competitive pressure under which regulatory systems are developing, driven by market forces and regulatory competition. As markets are increasingly moulding the framework, the question arises to what extent a global regulatory system is being developed. European company law harmonization will increasingly have to take account of these market forces. These essays by prominent EU and US specialists in their fields offer an up-to-date and detailed analysis of a range of complex issues. Subjects include Corporate Governance and Shareholder Value, The Institutional Investor, He Corporate Governance Recommendations, and Harmonisation of company law. This volume is the natural sucessor to the 1999 'Comparative Corporate Governance'. By the same editors, and featuring many of the same contributers, Capital Markets and Company Law Markets takes the subject to the next level.

Book Description
This book serves as an introduction to a recent, overwhelming development in the world's capital markets: the rapid increase in global offerings of securities. It explores four different approaches that can be adopted in trying to accomplish multinational offerings of securities in a world where different countries have very different regulatory approaches to the offering and trading of securities, namely: full compliance with requirements of multiple legal systems (registered public offerings in multiple jurisdictions); avoidance of the most burdensome requirements (private placements and other exemptions); reconciliation (permissive regulatory exemptions in one country, including hand-tailored exemptions or by rule); deferral to one country's rules (i.e. of the country with dominant contacts with the issuer). For this purpose the laws and practices of the U.S.A., U.K., Continental Europe, Japan, Canada and Mexico -- most of the world's major capital markets -- are considered. The contributing authors practice extensively in the area of cross-border security offerings.
