Book Description
Real accounting for today's students: Libby/ Libby/ Short wrote this book with the belief that financial accounting is an inherently interesting subject, but traditional textbooks are often not so interesting. In the Second Edition, the authors continue to bring the material to life offering the most real-world driven financial accounting text on the market. By writing the entire book based on real company annual reports, presenting material in a logical manner appropriate for introductory students, including active learning features, and further emphasizing the uses of accounting information, the Second Edition will continue to captivate instructors and students across the country.

Not Helpful.......2007-05-07
Rather than summarizing or outlining basic concepts in the Libby, Libby, Short text, Cram101 offered little more than a list of vocabulary terms which accompany the text (and can be obtained free of cost on McGraw Hill's website) I would not recommend these outlines to anyone who is looking for a thorough review of Financial Accounting.
Useless Study Guide.......2007-05-07
The left pages contain lists of definitions while the right pages are left blank. Other than that, there is nothing else in the book.
Possibly the worst textbook I ever used ... .......2007-02-11
This is the first book I have ever reviewed -- and it is only because I feel so strongly about it. This book is nowhere near being a beginning accounting textbook. The authors take for granted that the reader understands accounting terms as clear explanations are few and far between or missing completely. Perhaps the authors are far too advanced to be able to explain the basics of their business. The content is very confusing as are the multi-colored, multi-boxed, multi-fonted, multi-faceted, CNN/USA Today-style pages. I would definitely NOT recommend this book to anyone wanting to understand accounting to any degree.
Excellent Introductory text for Accounting.......2006-11-19
Given how dry a subject Accounting can be (especially for non-Accounting majors) - this book really was fantastic. It serves up excellent examples, has a modern, graphic and splashy style that made it easy to follow along and refer back to key terms, and I liked the tie-ins to business in the general commentary. It's a great text for a self-paced course like an online accounting course offered at Berkeley. I felt like I learned a lot from this book.
Shopper Satisfaction.......2005-09-29
Actually, the supplier no longer had the book available. But the supplier contacted me immediately and my account was credited almost as quickly as the money went out. So I am still a happy shopper.

Customer Reviews:
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!

Great.......2007-06-02
I read this book 5 years ago and quit. I'm buying a few copies for some friends. There was one person's story, in particular, that really stuck with me and over the years, I've thought about it many times. The book is a bit dated, but I think still worth reading.
Good information, but outdated........2002-01-29
Just finished this book this morning. It was very interesting reading the stories and I in fact stopped smoking 3 days ago. But...the stories seemed outdated and talked about a lot of people smoking in offices and homes, etc. You don't see that much these days. Plus, knowing the book was published in 1991, I subconciously added 10 years to the age of everyone in each story and that made me think "I wonder if they stayed quit?" The last section of the book after the stories is very repetitive. "As so-and-so said on page xxx...." seems to be in every other sentence.
I'd recommend reading it still, but better if you can borrow a copy or get it from the local library.
Good luck on quitting!
Made the Last Puff a reality.......2000-05-31
Simply put, this book and its disarmingly straightforward approach to quitter support gave me the final incentive and push to beat smoking. As I read this book, I found my resolve and courage rising until I was able to make that final decision to quit smoking... and then move on with my life. There is no proselytizing, no scary statistics, or dire predictions of painful death, but hope and encouragement from those who have been in the trenches beside you... as you struggle to take that Last Puff.
Excellent advice, all stories smokers can relate to........1999-05-01
Great book! To me quitting smoking was a very lonley feeling, especially since after I quit it seemed like everywhere I looked or everyone I knew was smoking. Most books tell you how to prepare to quit, This book helps you for after the quitting and plus! Most of the stories are about how they started, all the failures and how they finally quit but everyone can relate to the addiction thing! Buy this book!

Book Description
Paperback. Our knowledge of the dynamics of the upper atmosphere has increased substantially with the launch of NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). The winds associated with tides and planetary scale disturbances have been found to be significantly larger than expected. What has been even more surprising is the extent to which airglow variability is controlled by these dynamics. Variations in airglow emission rate have been observed for many decades, but until the global scale picture became available, their origin remained a mystery. Hence this session on "Influence of Tides on Species Concentrations" was particularly timely. This volume consists of papers presented at the session, including model results, satellite observations, and ground-based observations. What is clear from this volume is the very dominant role of dynamics in airglow variability and species concentrations.
Experimental papers deal with GLO observations of E- and F-
