Customer Reviews:
good conceptual overview.......2001-01-01
Good overview of valuation concepts, but if you want to sit down and actually come up with a number, try "Unlocking the Value of Your Business".
Great resource for novices.......2000-05-11
Will Yegge has the unique ability of being able to present a difficult subject in a logical, intelligent, concise and interesting manner.
Even though I have no background whatsoever in accounting, I was able to follow the information in this book and use it as my primary guide in valuing a company that I was interested in purchasing. It is a great resource for novices.
....unnecessarily and excruciatingly verbose!.......1999-11-27
Although his work on valuation techniques is straightforward in later chapters, the 1st several chapters do not do an adequate job of explaining the psychology of business valuation, buying or selling or the 'intangible' of business value. Words such as 'steeds' and 'pestilence' belong in literature, not reference manuals. Are Cliff Notes available to decipher just what these chapters are trying to communicate? I am trying to buy a business;lots of hard work lay ahead. Why must this book start off so unclear?
Professional approach with simple expaniations, easy to use.......1999-07-25
In preparation to sell my business for appx $10MM I sought many references on how to make a professional presentation and and use methodology that would be reasonable and logical to lead to a sale. Wilbur has doen a great job with this and his other book, How To Sell A business. I recommend that anyone read there two before putting a package together. I have had many favorable comments from both principals and brokers concerning the structure of the presentation I was able do make using Wilbur's help.
Excellent on both the "art" and "science" of valuation........1998-12-10
Just what I needed as a small business owner who needed a basic understanding of both the art and the science of valuing my company. Heavier read than it looks, since I didn't needed to know everything about non-related businesses. I did need to know how what factors must be considered and how complex some deals could be. Yegge speaks from experience and that is obvious, helpful and most comforting.

Accounting: Texts and Cases
ASIN: 0256218404 |
Book Description
ACCOUNTING: Text and Cases, 10/E is a 28 chapter book. Chapters 1-14 cover financial accounting, while Chapters 15-21 cover management accounting, and Chapters 22-28 focus on broader issues of control and corporate strategy. The approximately 120 cases that largely make up the end-of-chapter material are a combination of classic Harvard style cases, as well as extended problems. New to this edition is the inclusion of 2-3 problems per chapter. These problems, while not as involved as the case material, allow the students to exercise the concepts demonstrated in each chapter. The goal of the problem material is to provide a transition to the case material, which is a response to customer requests.
Customer Reviews:
Vacuous.......2005-10-18
The text is incomplete and irrelevant. Often, an explanation of a concept is begun but it ends suddenly without the actual connection to its accounting treatment. Take "Precollected Revenues on page 54; pages 58-60: show (visual) the account entry along with the description. Learners need to see these accounting entries. It would help to add a few worked examples and model answers for the case studies set out at the end of chapters if this text is intended to be used as a teaching text or we will no longer use it.
Insightful Case Studies.......2004-09-30
I can see the point of several previous reviewers that certain additional details flesh out end of chapter case studies. However, I found the writing fresh, insightful, and pointed. Multiple end of chapter resources further illuminated chapter material in detail. In conjunction with a thorough professor, this book is an excellent tool for understanding accounting material.
Beyond unacceptable.......2003-09-22
Verbose and useless! The book says that the only way to learn accounting is to practice doing problems. It sucks at showing you how to do problems. It sucks worst at teaching you the concepts. No matter how many technical or engineering degrees you may have, this will make you feel stupid.
This one will make you pull your hair out!.......2002-06-05
Unless you go to Haaaaarvaaard (I always forget how many A's to put), you are probably going to be a bit perplexed by the content of this book.
The cases go WAY beyond what is covered in the Chapters, and its up to the instructor to try to fill in the gaps (hopefully your instructor realizes this).
I have found myself referring to my textbook from my intro accounting course more often than this book itself in order to grasp the concepts at hand. Seriously, this book is a punishment to anyone who has to buy it for school. And its FREAKIN heavy to haul around across campus.
'Nough said.
A Heavy Book.......2002-01-20
It's not that bad as other reviews say it is, but it is definetely such a heavy book to carry around.
Book Description
The book is designed to develop high-performance teams in an organization by focusing on the four factors that contribute to team performance: structure, process, culture, and politics. It uses an applied approach centered around the construction of a "team charter." Teams: Structure, Process, Culture, and Politics provides a comprehensive view of the management principles that foster effective teams as well as examples of effective and problem teams within organizations. Practical exercises such as
How Does a Team Show Trust? give readers an opportunity to develop team- building skills.
Reflections features ask readers to draw from their own experiences.
Team Work discussions encourage readers to productively arrive at team agreements.
Section Objectives highlight the topics to be covered, and end-of-section activities and discussion questions reinforce important topics. A valuable book for any manager seeking to improve the functioning of the teams within an organization.

Customer Reviews:
Information.......2006-08-18
The book was exactly what I needed. I was going to be raising game birds to release into the wild. The book was informative and gave me the details that I needed to get started.
A bit outdated, but useful.......2000-04-07
This book needs to be updated, especially the information on sales and marketing. "Housewives" today probably make up considerably less market than bistros. It also advocates using multiflora rose as a fence, which was popular 20 years ago. Most areas are now trying to eradicate this uncontrollable, nasty weed. There is also little info on domestic ducks. The book does, however, provide some good info and is worth the $12.

Customer Reviews:
Best publication on the subject.......2006-10-30
The Storey guides are the best and informative publications I have bought. Having bought expensive books that said the same thing as the Raising Game Birds: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-93 (Garden Way Publishing's Country Wisdom Bulletins, Raising Animals Series, No a-93)
by Mavis Harper does I highly recommend this publication first and foremost. The information is easy to read, illustrations etc easy to follow. Save money as well by putting the money you would have put toward an expensive book on the subject, toward other game bird needs.
Have poultry and was interested in raising some quail and pheasant and made the mistake of buying a couple expensive books on the subject that I quickly returned. Then someone suggested Raising Game Birds: Storey Country Wisdom Bulletin A-93 (Garden Way Publishing's Country Wisdom Bulletins, Raising Animals Series, No a-93)by Mavis Harper so I bought it and was/am so impressed with the information, advise etc shared. All the information one needs.
IT SHOULD BE FREE.......2006-06-14
Very thin pamphlet type book. Way too general in its information. Should be given away for free instead of having to pay for it..... Use the money you would have spent on buying this book/pamphlet and apply it to getting a good book on raising game birds.........

Leland Hayes Upland Game birds, Their Breeding & Care.......2000-04-03
This book is one of the most detailed books in the field and it is a must for every owner of gamebirds. Dr.Hayes and his wife have done much researchh and breeding of these birds. He does not try to give information as to what you should do if he hasn't breed or raised or treated birds of any species. The breeder can learn alot and put it to good use in his or her aviary. Thus saving a lot of expense and time with sick birds. Take care of the birds as described will make you a very smart breeder. Besure and purchase this and other books by Dr. Hayes. Also he provides a great service for online game bird questions on his FREE Ezine. Contact him at Leland@LelandHayes.com Thank you G L. Heywood email frizzlebird@yahoo.com
Upland Game Birds By Leland Hayes.......2000-04-03
I have been raising game birds for six years and have all the books but this one by Leland Hayes is my Bible,Any one raising game birds of any breed should have this book, Buy it read it then buy your birds
Great for pheasant fanciers.......2000-04-02
I enjoyed the information this book has to offer. It is written so people of all ages and interests can enjoy it. It is recommended reading for anyone that is beginning to get into pheasants and wants to know about each breed, where they come from, markings, behavior and comparisons. In my opinion the book was too short, Leland Hayes has a LOT more to offer. I can't wait for his next books to come out. I can't say anything more except 4 stars and It is a 2 thumbs up book.
Review of Upland Game Birds by Leland Hayes.......2000-04-01
I found Dr. Hayes book to be very informative regarding the raising and care of many different species of game birds. I appreciated the information on the difficulties associated with particular breeds, as a guide to selecting challenging or easy breeds to raise.
The medication guide alone is worth the price of the book, comparing dosage amounts and alternative medications for most common ailments.
This is the first book I have found with useful information for the small-scale breeder, as opposed to the large commercial game bird operator.
Upland Game Birds-Their Breeding and Care.......2000-04-01
