      4 out of 5 stars Great for homework.......2005-08-16

      The working papers are a great addition to the text because they have charts for you to fill in when doing the exercises at the end of the chapter. It's nice to have the double entry journals layed out for you.

      3 out of 5 stars We all have to suffer somehow. .......2004-09-25

      Despite how intimidating accounting can be for some students, this book really offers a lot. From the CD to the neat little transparencies in chapter 4, this book does give students a greater insight to accounting. Unfortunately, I feel that the book offers too much to students. Icons are all over the place in the book, examples that go nowhere, and page references for problems that actually don't help at all. You have to sift through the chapters yourself to find the right page.
      If you have to buy it, buy it... But get all the add ons, they're great to have.

      P.S. When in doubt, go to the website, they have great narrated powerpoint presentations on each chapter!

            I wish the publisher had made the working papers separate and not part of the bound book. Once you tear out the papers, you have two choices. Tear off the back cover and run the risk of losing your text pages, or have a huge gap in the book where the working papers were.

                "I'm delighted to see the updated version of Women and Men in Management. This comprehensive volume is an outstanding resource for students, scholars, and professionals. Powell and Graves have done a great job updating the research literature and making it relevant with contemporary stories and examples. I particularly value the fact that the arguments are grounded in rigorous empirical research, while at the same time the writing is accessible to a wide audience. What a difference from the many sensation-seekers who inflame issues or exaggerate the differences between women and men in their quests for fame!"
                --Alison M. Konrad, Fox School of Business and Management, Temple University

                Around the world, women comprise a greater proportion of both workers and managers than ever before. However, women continue to be excluded from top management positions, segregated into low-paying occupations, and paid less for the same work as men.

                Why does biological sex continue to have such a powerful effect in the workplace? Is it only a matter of time before individuals' work experiences are unaffected by their sex? Women and Men in Management, Third Edition answers these questions and more. It provides a comprehensive review of the literature on gender and organizations. To reflect the explosion of research during the 10 years since the second edition, the book includes references to over 900 sources, of which over 80% are new to this edition. The book covers a unique and wide range of topics, including employment decisions, work teams, leadership, sexual harassment, workplace romance, career development, the glass ceiling, work and family, and strategies for promoting an organizational culture of nondiscrimination, diversity, and inclusion. It offers concrete recommendations that individuals and organizations may implement to ensure that all people have fulfilling and productive careers, regardless of their biological sex.

                New to This Edition:

                * Focus on "where we are now"

                * Expanded coverage of topics that have received increased attention in recent years, including entrepreneurship, the glass ceiling, work and family, work teams, global leaders, career development, and employment decisions

                * Strategies for promoting a culture of nondiscrimination, diversity, and inclusion

                * An analysis of gender incorporates theories and research on the intersection of gender and other identities (race, ethnicity, age, nationality, and sexual orientation)

                * An international focus through references to research studies and statistics from around the world

                * Changes in the writing style and greater use of corporate examples have made this edition more accessible to a wider audience

                I never met a scut I liked, and I seriously doubt that I ever will. Who could like a scut, after all, they are scuts. When you're a scut you have to wear uncomfortable clothes, you have to stand a lot, and you almost never get to sleep.

                5 out of 5 stars A Really Enjoyable Introduction to Astronomy.......2007-09-19

                It's been a long coming, but it's finally here! Astronomy instructors and authors have produced a wonderfully readable and thoroughly comprehensible introduction to the science of astronomy. Each topic in this book really is a mini-tutorial as proclaimed by the cover title. The book format is actually written in a laboratory worksheet fashion (the sheets can be detached from the book along their perforated edges) with each worksheet dedicated to a specific astronomy concept (e.g., position, motion, Keplar's Third Law, etc.). One pass through this ingeniously designed "book of tutorials" and the beginner to the wonderful world of the cosmo is truly ready to move on to more advanced astronomy books and/or astronomy courses. My congratulations (and gratitude) to the Pearson Addison-Wesley Publishing Company for making the concept of learning enjoyable once again.

                If you are at all interested in astronomy, but recoiled away from the subject after opening a typical "introductory" college textbook, then you would do yourself a tremendous favor by purchasing this book. You won't be disappointed!

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-08-04

                This item was in excellent condition and came in a timely manner. It helped a lot with my class.

                5 out of 5 stars Excellent Hands-On Suppliment.......2006-06-27

                Adam's "Lecture Tutorials" collection is an excellent suppliment to any astronomy textbook. While most text books include a couple of introductory chapters on naked-eye astronomy the material included is often surface deep at best and downright confusing at worst. Much of this is because the topics covered (i.e.-the celestial sphere, daily and yearly motions of the stars, sun and moon, etc) are highly abstract and require activities that force the student to move away from memorization towards an understand of the apparent motions and what causes them.

                The Lecture Tutorials are a test ed set of just such activities based on a wealth of astronomy education research. They can be used in both large scale classes and smaller groups to get students to work through the difficult misconceptions and misunderstands that oftentimes beset the subjects being studied.

                The activities range throughout the standard astronomy curriculum but, in my opinion, the best activites are those that focus on the apparent motions of the Sun, Moon and stars.

                I recommend this to any student trying to better understand the subject and for any educator who wants help moving their students from "fun facts" to deeper understanding.

                3 out of 5 stars Not a bad reference book for astrophysics students.......2007-09-14

                This book is an ok reference book, if you've already seen the material in the book. The price is way too high. Whatever you do don't pay 180 bucks for this book. The preliminary section is weirdly way harder than the main text of the book. I had as my freshman astrophysics course text book and nearly dropped the course because the prelimary section was so scary. My biggest problem is the book uses MKS not CGS units. This would make the book more acessible to the reader with a physics (but no astronomy) background, but only does a disservice to the reader who wishes to use this book as a bridge to more advanced astronomical literature.

                5 out of 5 stars Intro to Astronomy.......2007-01-11

                Nicely written textbook for the first year student in astronomy and astrophysics. Clearly written.

                1 out of 5 stars DO NOT USE THIS.......2005-02-24

                This book BLOWS. It's the WORST book I've EVER used in a physics-related course. There are several different values given for the same thing all over the place, equations frequently lack units, and the explanations just plain suck. Don't use this unless you have to.

                5 out of 5 stars An excellent introductory book in astronomy/astrophysics.......2003-12-11

                I used this book in an independent study class in astronomy and astrophysics while I was an undergraduate. With the exception of the some errors in the equations in the opacity section I found this book to be clearly written and not too difficult. You will need to know your college physics and some math but that should be expected since this is not a descriptive text. If you want a descriptive astronomy text search elsewhere, if you want an introductory astrophysics text this is a good choice.

                3 out of 5 stars good if you know whats up.......2003-09-04

                i think this book is good if you already know a bit about astronomy and physics. it covers the topics it wants to very well, and very in depth. however, it has no logical sequencing of the chapters, and thus is a wonderful reference text, but not so great when it comes to learning in a call

                    Book Description

                    In writing this textbook the author's objective was to provide students with a non-trivial, reasonably priced introduction to astronomy. Starting with problems astronomers face on Earth connected with observation, the book then moves on to cover the Solar System, galaxies and finally cosmology, one of the most exciting and fastest developing areas of astronomy. Up-to-date and carefully structured Introductory Astronomy has a strong narrative thread running through it; concepts are gradually introduced and subsequently built upon in later chapters. The science behind the subject is integrated and presented in a way that allows readers to gain a thorough understanding of the subject without being blinded by unnecessary mathematical detail or scientific theory. Throughout the book there are plenty of worked examples, problems, figures and photographs.

                      Product Description

                      The space vehicle spectaculars of recent years have been revealing the full scope and beauty of our own solar system but have also shown that a growing number of other stars too have planetary bodies orbiting around them. The study of these systems is just beginning. It seems that our galaxy contains untold numbers of planets, and presumably other galaxies will be similar to our own. Our solar system contains life, on Earth: do others as well? Such questions excite modern planetary scientists and astro-biologists. This situation is a far cry from ancient times when the five planets that can be seen from Earth without a telescope were called the "wandering stars". This notebook-cum-workbook provides an introduction to those profound and still-developing modern studies. Written by an expert in the field, it is pitched at a level suitable for beginning students. It is designed particularly for self-study but can also provide background support for students attending lecture courses or teachers developing such courses. The reader is encouraged to add to the arguments of the book as the subject develops. A special feature here is a substantial glossary of terms and people which serves as a starting point for further entries. Wandering Stars is a key to unlock the door to an exciting and fascinating universe which is still the object of active discovery.

                        Book Description

                        Ferguson's flexible and useful INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, provides readers with laboratory exercises that are well-tested, current, and flexible to individual needs. These labs have a variety of origins and authors, and bring a broad range of activity to the introductory astronomy lab. Most require only inexpensive equipment. INTRODUCTORY ASTRONOMY EXERCISES, Second Edition, gives readers practical experience with the things they only read about in their book, such as using a telescope and CCD photography. Ferguson groups the exercises together by whether they deal with the solar system or stars and other objects beyond the solar system. Three introductory exercises on using telescopes, viewing constellations and the Celestial Sphere, and using numbers in science set the stage and help readers overcome anxiety. A combination of indoor and outdoor labs allows for adjustments due to weather conditions.
