Schaum's Outline of Intermediate Accounting I.......2007-02-15
This book was not what I expected. I thought it was thicker than that, but it is a good book for review.
Builds Nicely on Schaums Principles of Accounting.......2005-11-24
Accounting has never been a favorite subject of mine, but the Schaums Outline series has been wonderful. Presentation of topical material is concise, Solved Problems reinforce chapter concepts, and chapter-end questions have solidified my understanding of accounting.
This book serves as a logical progression to Schaums Principles of Accounting (Levels I and II). It is well-written and enables the reader to understand accounting at the "next level".
Intermediate Accounting has 11 chapters which explore long term liabilities, stock ownership, retained earnings, dilutive securities, investments, revenue recognition, leases, statement of cash flows, accounting changes, pensions and loss carrybacks / carryforwards.
What the book lacks in continuity, it makes up for in the depth of study the Principles of Accounting can only introduce. As a a CFA candidate, I found this book to be an excellent supplement to the curriculums recommended hardbacked books.
I highly recommend this book. For $20, you get a lot of bang for the buck. Enjoy!
Schaum's Outline of Intermediate Accounting I.......2005-10-14
I am an accounting student. Sometimes the textbook can be quite confusing. Schaum's simplifies the explanation. It is a great additional reference for any accounting student. I purchased all the Schaum's Outlines related to Accounting and now I get wonderful comments from my instructor and classmates on how well I understand the material. It is soooo worth the investment. :-)
Review for intermediate accounting I.......2005-09-14
Delivery was good. The book condition was good (new book).
I was satisfied with the purchase and will buy another book in the future.
Good Study Guides.......2001-12-16
These series of books are good study guides. I use this in addition to my text book. The text book gives you so much unnecessary stuff, it makes it hard to read and understand. The Schaum's Outline books give you enough information without being overwhelming to completely understand the subject.

Experiential Learning: Experience as the Source of Learning and Development
ASIN: 0749434678 |
Book Description
Experiential learning is developing as a serious academic discipline and as a proven staff development technique. This handbook pulls together for the first time both the theory and practice of this wide-ranging approach that covers all types of learning that employs activity-based experience. Covering outdoor training, office based learning activities and the wide range of unusual techniques now being used on both sides of the Atlantic (using actors in training sessions, the structured use of reflection in the training and development cycle etc) the book offers both a though theoretical under-pinning and detailed practical advice often pulled from workshop material.

Customer Reviews:
Good book.......2003-05-08
I used this book in the last two weeks before the exam...some of the questions were kinda deceptive - they appeared easier than they actually were. But the selling point for me was that it was a full exam so I simulated the exam conditions to give me some practice with my timing etc. I used this book together with the NMS review book and the Kaplan Q-book, and I did enough questions to get me a 97 on the exam.
The worst test book I have seen.......2002-09-06
This is the worst test book I've seen. It is a waste of money, but more important, a waste of time. The only thing similar to the step 2 exam is the number of questions divided in 8 blocks. The questions are poorly written and the explanations are lame. If you are preparing for the step 2, try the Mock exam by Brochert or the Q book from Kaplan (or even better the simulated step 2 CD-ROM).
2000 Edition is Excellent.......2000-12-19
This book is GOOD practice test for Step 2. It's set up just like the Step 2 exam with 8 blocks of 50 questions. Every question is a clinical vignette and the format of the questions is very typical of Step 2, i.e., "What is the diagnosis?" and "What is the next step?" It's definitely worth the the $25 that amazon is selling it for.

Book Description
Now, more than ever, medical students are being asked to not only comprehend the clincial science subjects, but to apply this knowledge in clinical situations. This change is reflected through the use of clinical vignettes in course exams as well as in the USMLE Step 2 (approximately 60-65% of the actual exam). Culled from the 8 PreTest Clinical Science titles, 350 clinical scenarios help the student to logically apply basic science knowledge to real-life situations.

good clinical vignnets.......2000-05-26
very good questions and well explained answers. will be a good companion on the road to tease your mind.
Book Description
Field Guide to the Deep Sky Objects is a uniquely usable guide for observers. Following detailed descriptive summaries of each class of object, it includes extensive lists of deep-sky targets which are classified according to type of object:
- Stars (bright, coloured, double, triple, quad, multiple);
- The spectral sequence;
- Clusters;
- Globular clusters;
- Stellar associations;
- Stellar streams;
- Nebulae (emission, dark, reflection, planetary);
- Supernovae remnants;
- Galaxies (spiral, elliptical, irregular).
Each of these groups is organised by month of best visibility, and within that by ease of observing. Simply, this means that you can choose a class of object, and for any month of the year find an observing list that begins with easiest through to progressively more difficult targets!
Amateur astronomers of all levels of ability will find this book invaluable for its broad-ranging background material, its lists of fascinating objects, and for its application as "graded exercises" to improve practical observing skills while viewing many different types of deep-sky object.
Customer Reviews:
Good idea but not well done, sorry!.......2002-06-15
I have never read an astronomical book that contains so much duplicated information. Many facts appear several times in different places in the book for reasons that are far from clear. Tighter editing might have reduced the page count by 10 or 15% without lowering the value of the book.
Review and Suggestions.......2001-08-17
This is a useful addition to my growing library. However, the item arrangement takes some getting used to and anyone purchasing this book should read the introductory text in each chapter to better understand how Inglis has organized this volume before using it in the field. His text is very readable and the explanations useful for anyone who doesn't want to get immersed in a lot of technical detail.
One drawback for me is that Inglis mixes Northern and Southern Hemisphere objects in his lists. I intend to add some sort of notation to indicate this. Adding the common name of the constellation in which the object is located would be another worthy addition for those of us who are truly "amateurs".
If Inglis ever revises this book, I would humbly suggest that the chapters be arranged in halves -- one for northern hemisphere objects and one for the southern hemisphere.
Another feature of this book that could be either an advantage or a disadvantage (depending on one's perspective) is that grouping similar objects (eg. variable stars) together makes it really difficult to use this volume in the field if you want to observe many different types of objects. On the other hand, I have never done any field observation that consisted of looking at only one type of object (to compare and contrast etc.) and this book has motivated me to try this technique.
A practical field guide.......2001-05-29
This is one book which I will make sure is with me when I am with my telescope at a dark site. Organized by type of object and month(s) of best viewing, this book is an indispensible guide to the various deep sky objects visible, with their locations and which day they transit the meridian at midnight. Objects are grouped as stars, clusters, nebulae, galaxies, and faint/far away/invisible. This text goes beyond the Messier objects and has objects from various sources with descriptions as they would appear in most amatuer telescopes or binoculars.
This book does seem to be targeted at Northern hemisphere observers, as I do not believe any of the objects listed are south of 42 deg S, with the exception of stars.
exactly what I was looking for.......2001-05-18
I'll make this quick... I'm an ATM and an avid astro-buff.. I've always wondered what I *should* be seeing. This book clears up many questions and puts forth a practical collection of data describing what to expect to see with moderate telescopes up to 10 inches (dia) or so. - excellent format and very well organized - great detail - gives human description of objects in text - no false impressions by giving fancy color photos - feels like reading my own notes. If you like the title... you will like this book. Definetely a guide worth having!

Should become a classic!!!.......2001-04-30
Using this book for over two years, I've found all the Messiers and learnt a whole lot from this book. The book starts off with briefly introducing the pre-requisites to stargazing, and the geometric estimation method for locating the deep-sky using a Telrad. The book also tells the story of Charles Messier, and the origins of the Messier Marathon. He then takes the reader on a tour of all the Messier objects. Since this book has its focus on the Messier Marathon, the sequence of the objects is based on his observing sequence during the Marathon. However, as Harvard points out, this book does not necessarily have to be used during a Marathon and can be used any time to locate any of the Messier objects. The finder charts proved to be extremely useful, and I found this book becoming the book I refer to the most. The advantage is, I don't have to flip through other star maps looking for the Messier objects I'd like to observe. Its all included in this book. Therefore, I used this book more than my star atlas while observing the Messier objects. There is a little bit of inaccuracy with some of the charts. For example, in the chart for finding M75, I found I had to extend a little further than the distance from the mouth of the teapot to the lower corner of its handle away from tau Sag. to get to M75. Perhaps it was my problem of not using a powered finder (only the Telrad), but I had to try 5 times before I was compelled to move my scope little further east and north when the dim glow of M75 slid into view. This situation is actually clearly demonstrated in any star atlas, M75 is definitely a little further than the estimate.(I did very careful measurements on a printout of a few star chart program and Harvard's estimation method got to 0.6 to 1 degree from M75 depending on the angle deviation from the gamma Sag. - tau Sag. line, so I'm guessing some people may have troubles) Nevertheless, this is a VERY minor complaint for Harvard's method is based on estimation. Getting as near to the object as possible with the simplest method is what matters. My suggestion to any similar situation is to use a star atlas beside this book too to help with objects that don't seem to show up on first or second attempt. Furthermore, if the object is not in view, do scan around a little (which Harvard did mention). In a real Messier Marathon, don't panic (as I did =) and keep in mind that the less detailed charts are mainly for estimation. Overall, an exceptional book, beautifully written and educating. A book that deserves to be on the bookshelves of all amateur astronomers!
A must-have for serious Messier searchers........2000-09-25
This is an extremely helpful book. I rate it among the very best for helping in your Messier Object search: At the April 2000 Messier marathon, I found 75 objects, and was on schedule to find 105, but I grew too tired to continue. On a recent star party in September, 2000, I found 45 objects before midnight, thanks largely to this book. Buy it while you still can!
The Guide for finding the Messier Objects.......2000-08-08
After trying run my first Messier marathon with charts that I had prepared myself, I wish I had had this book with me that night. I would have seen alot more. Using this book, I have able to locate many objects that I had not been able to find before with certainty.
This book is excellent resource that I now take along with my telescope to every star party. The charts and object sketches are well oriented to the practicing amateur astronomer. Also covered are telescope calibration, observing techniques, and site selection. The only drawback to this book that I have found so far has been that it is not printed on waterproof paper. So, I had to order another copy to cut up and laminate.
Best Intro Book to Finding the Messier Objects.......2000-07-11
This book is exceptional for the beginning backyard astronomer. I found 25 objects in one weekend alone using this book. I'm up to 95 objects total with no doubt in my mind that the book will allow me to find the remaining 15 objects. In dark skies, the Telrad finder charts work extremely well. Over a dozen times I have literally been able to line up the Telrad finder per the book's illustrations and look into the eyepiece and see the desired target. In light polluted areas, where I do most of my observing and where the Telrad is not quite as useful, the star charts in the book provide just the right detail to find the target by either star hopping with a conventional finder or moving along lines of constant declination or ascension relative to a known star. Well worth the low $20 price tag.
Excellent guide for the Messiers.......1999-12-16
this book is written with one purpose in mind-to get the reader(observer)through the Messier objects utilizing various, and well explained, star hopping techniques combined with in-scale drawings of the objects within their given constellations. It also has some very useful techniques for ligning up a telrad type instrument, calibrating the finder and eyepiece, as well as providing an observer's log for the objects and the Messier catalog. Great book and more than worth the money. Being an "advanced beginner" I have found its techniques easy to follow leading to some incredibly successful observations of these beautiful objects. I only wish it included the Caldwell Catalog, but that may have diluted its very narrow and detailed focus on the Messier objects. Highly recommended!
