Annual corporate reports provide a window into a companys strategy for future growth; however, many financial managers as well as the investing public focus exclusively on corporate earnings and fail to understand all the factors that comprise the earnings computation.

Using Home Depots annual report as the primary example, Brian Stanko and Thomas Zellers easy-to-use guide examines a variety of types of financial reports, addressing both SEC and FASB regulations. Understanding Corporate Annual Reports allows readers to appreciate the complete implications of a corporate annual report.

Annual Reports.......2004-06-21

I found this book to be an excellent review for experienced annual report readers and yet clear enough for readers unfamiliar with the material.

Very readable with good, concise examples.

Customer Reviews:

Recomended by an Accounting Professor.......2006-11-06

I am an accounting professor. This little book is a required text in the MBA course I teach, "Accounting for Managers". It is a great overview ofthe accounting process, and how it can be manipulated by the less-than-ethical. An easy read, but not simplistic. Anyone who owns or is thinking about buying stock should read it.

The Soul of Vermont

ASIN: 1557883602
Release Date: 2001-07-10

Book Description

Some say Vermont is America's last bastion of the simple life. Stubbornly resisting the modern trend to prepackaged, processed food, the Green Mountain State upholds natural, do-it-yourself ways, from its sugarhouses and orchards to its dairy farms and cornfields. In a Vermont Kitchen is an indispensable treasury of recipes that celebrate the bounty, the beauty, and the quirky individualist spirit of this unique region.

Excellent all-around, great recipes!.......2003-10-17

I keep coming back to this book, not only finding new recipes each time but repeating favorites and varying ingredients for even more interesting dishes. There are a lot of favorites in here but the drunken apple chicken and the maple chicken are both excellent - hearty northeasterner meals. I highly recommend.

I have to disagree with everyone else..........2002-09-28

This is by far the worst cookbook in my collection. I consider myself to be a decent cook, producing beautiful and delicious results from recipes in all of the other books in a rather large collection.

Every single item (save one) tested from "In a Vermont Kitchen" has been nothing but disaster! The "Cranberry Nut Pumpkin Bread" does NOT need to bake for 90 minutes. A Cranberry Nut Brick is what came out of my oven ten minutes short of that time. "Drunken Apple Chicken" is the only meal I have ever literally pitched into the trash and then reached for the phone to call the pizza man. "Maple Magic Mousse?" Not magical. The recipe doesn't tell you where to add in the gelatin, resulting in a little too much experimentation for my taste, not to mention a disappointing result. Cranberry Apple Conserve was satisfactory, but today's recipe was the last straw for this book. "Brie Pizza with Apple Onion Sauce" - the apple onion mixture is truly disgusting! After following the instructions to the letter, I have a limp and gross-looking mess that I would not want to feed to my dog, let alone put on a pizza shell for my guests later this evening...

A rich, warm culinary experience that delivers true Vermont.......1999-11-03

I have always been suspect of cookbooks that carry beautiful covers. Often the treats inside cannot live up to the magical picture the eye is first drawn to. This book has forever changed that suspicion. From page one I felt wrapped up in the honest, poetic style with which Amy Lyon has painted upon these pages. Suddenly I was not in Ohio experimenting with a recipe, I was in a small farmhouse smelling a robust meal that only Vermont could deliver. The recipes were easy enough for me to follow, but I still felt like I had created my own masterpiece after I was finished. I could write on and on, but the chill wind of November is urging me to retreat to the kitchen and visit Vermont with Amy Lyon!

Informative, easy to follow and "delicious".......1999-11-01

The recipes were easy to follow and the results were superb. Never have I had such "delicious" results with my cooking from the many recipes I tried in this cookbook. I particually enjoyed reading the narratives at the beginning of the recipes and learning about the backgrounds of the contributors of some of the local restaurant owners.

It is so well written you forget you are reading a cook book.......1999-10-14

I bought this book in a local book store because of the title and because of the cover. I bought one for my mom as a birthday present and started reading it and could not put it down. I ended up buying another book for myself. I especially recomend the Chedder Sweet Potato and Bacon Chowder. This is a great book and I really recomend it!!!!

Book Description

In the early twentieth century, tens of thousands of Canadian settlers faced the challenge of starting a farm in the North. Places of Last Resort explores the last significant expansion of farm settlement in Canada, documenting the painful discovery of the limits of traditional farming. Northerly locations were occupied in desperation after more accessible land further south had been colonized. Grappling with demanding conditions, the northern settlers were encouraged by politicians, bureaucrats, and religious leaders, who often had less than innocent reasons for endorsing questionable settlement experiments. David Wood explores the demographic characteristics of this surging population of land-seekers and shows how some of their efforts echoed those of earlier settlers. Gripping case studies outline the face of failure and suggest the ingredients for success in these marginal areas.

Description:
This paper presents an empirical analysis that addresses recent work seeking ''win-win-win'' scenarios for economic development, poverty reduction and environmental sustainability. I focus on arguments for ''productive conservation'' in forest frontier regions, namely raising rural incomes while conserving the forest resource base. The analysis examines the impacts of agricultural product and income diversity on agricultural incomes and primary forest cover. The findings show that net of other factors, more diversified farms have higher agricultural incomes, but not significantly less forest cover. This finding is consistent with recent work in other study sites and suggests that initiatives promoting agricultural diversity can at least partially compatibilize production and conservation.
