Accounting book.......2007-10-01
New book, great price just like stated. I love amazon! Save $50.00 from bookstore price and recieved it in 2 days.
Good book as an accounting overview.......2007-08-09
The book is good, as part of the pre-MBA courses, it gives you a great overview of accounting
A must for interaction.......2007-08-09
This is a text that requires a professor. It is not a do it at home by yourself text. Perhaps having been taught by one of the authors helps me to know what they have in mind here. It's a text that works at a number of levels of thought at the same time, it's really sort of deep. I'd recommend to be ready to take a lot of notes. You'll be in class and everything seems so simple. Then you go home and wonder how you could have thought it simple. I respect the other reviews, of course, and you should give them due consideration.
Worst Text Book Ever.......2007-07-02
This book is horrible. It does show you how to work the problems. It's full of high level explanation and no deep explanation of the concepts or the problems. It's poorly organized and super expensive. It does not contain answers to the odd problems in the back of the book like most (math type of books) text books tend to have. There is no study guide for this edition; the publisher's web site claims there exist, I have not found it there or anywhere else. However, a study guide does exist for the previous edition. There is a solutions manual that one has to purchase a key to access the anwers to the odd problems online. The solutions manual falls really too, because it just gives the answers and offers no explanation of the problems. I really need some kind of study guide that explains the problems in detail so that I can check myself. The book has a companion site that is a little helpful, it has one online quizzes, chapter summary and spreadsheets for each chapter.
YUCK.......2007-01-30
I absolutely HATE this textbook. It is poorly organized and does not "teach" accounting. It does provides plenty of examples, however with no instruction, one can merely muddle through them. Even with limited expectations considering the subject itself, the book is dull and nearly unreadable. If I could throw it away, I would.
Book Description
The first edition of Porter/Norton was the most successful new entry into the financial accounting market in twenty years. This third edition holds true to the original vision of teaching the subject from both the preparer and user perspective, but with a revision focused on greater accessibility to the variety of students taught. Two annual reports (Gateway and Ben JerryÆs) and an annual update program with price stability guarantee highlight the third edition package.
Customer Reviews:
Get the new edition, not the 9th edition.......2002-09-18
I am the co-author of this book. the 10th edition is now out. If you are a student, you'll want that. If you're trying to learn on your own, you'll find this 9th edition adequate and much cheaper. good luck. roman
Great for graduate study.......2002-08-22
Many people get this book wrong. This is a book for graduate students, not for undergraduates. It introduces the concepts of financial accounting in a condensed way, which does require more time and patient to understand it, like the way we study in MBA program. Since this book assumes its reader as future statement readers, it introduces finanical statements, including balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement,in the first few chapters to let student understand the linkage among them. It is usually very difficult to understand for those without background, though. Plus, given the fact that this book is required by most of top MBA programs, like Chicago, Columbia, and NYU, I'd like to say that accounting professors have told us the quality of this book. For those who have a hard time on this, I would also recommend its accompanied study guide and solution manuals (used one available on amazon website ISBN 0030269695& ASIN: 0030182697; make sure get the right edition!!). After all, this is a good book, but requires more practices. Good luck.
A Good Introductory Text.......2001-12-30
I'd never had any accounting courses before. This textbook was required for my financial accounting course in an MBA program. The book does a good job of logically explaining all the important topics. Unfortunately, it takes a Herculean effort to sit down and study the material due to the dry subject matter.
The authors did a good job of using examples from real firms, which, I think, makes it more interesting. I've decided to keep this book after the course for a reference.
Accounting for dummies (ahem, I mean Lawyers).......2001-10-16
I am a 2nd year law student in the top 10% of my class at a first tier law school (meaning, I'm capable of reading and comprehending dense material). I took an accounting class thinking it would be helpful knowledge in the practice of law. My professor - fantastic. This text book - awful. The only reason I was able to (hopefully) get a good grade (the exam was last week) was that the professor was so good at explaining the concepts he felt were important. The book was confusing and overly verbose (coming from a wordsmith & soon to be lawyer, that statement should be given much weight!!) There were many exercises, but truth be told it was the professor's explanations that allowed me to do the exercises, NOT the book's.
You're going to get confuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2001-06-15
Firstly,I really want to rate this book zero star or minus star.I've bought this book because I used it in my MBA course .This book made me hate Accounting too.I strongly agree with rewiewer " this book made me hate accounting" .After I've read this book for many times I found it very wordy I can summarise the concept in one line whereas the books try to explain too much (2-3 pages)and also irrelavant.Eventhough the authur uses a lot of explanations, but can not be understood.IT is very vital to you to keep your money for the movie, put in the bank ,or doing whatever except buying this book.Anyway this book has a lot of exercises( Not so extremely bad)
Book Description
This study guide, by LeBrone C. Harris and James E. Moon, lists highlights from each chapter and provides numerous short true/false, matching, multiple-choice questions, and exercises, with answers.
Book Description

Book Description
This book presents a transtheoretical 'response system framework' for understanding family practice. This framework organizes theoretical information, assessment protocols, skills, and intervention strategies into a learning structure that helps students understand myriad client situations and the intervention strategies that would be most appropriate for those specific situations. Using this over-arching structure, and focusing on two systems of response--action systems (how family members behave and interrelate) and processing systems (how family members interpret/feel)--Ragg guides readers through the five parts of the book with the goal of building holistic family intervention skills. These five parts are comprised of: 'Family thinking', or knowledge of family systems; 'Assessing families'; 'Building the Working Alliance'; 'Change-Focused Intervention'; and 'Working with Multi-Problem and High-Risk Families.'

Astral ethno-astronomy.......2000-08-16
Best known as the author of the excellent survey of alternative and tribal medicines, *Planet Medicine*, the author here seeks healing from the stars. Why stars?--"The modern materialist universe has no place for us and we would be fools to try to survive in it...but unless we are active in making a new universe [ie, cosmology], it will leave us...ravaged. We must enter the violence and the emptiness...and transform them into something livable [xvi]." Found on sale bins everywhere, this grossly underrated book covers the anthropology of the men who invented modern astronomy & cosmology, comparing well with Timmothy Ferris' *Coming of Age in the Milky Way*. He then uncovers the astral/occult sky, sky myths from many times and places, and the role of the night sky in the human imagination, from pop stars and sci fi to UFOs and post-modern nihilism a la Big Bang. There's really nothing else like it, a great impressionistic tour and re-creation of the cosmos that we, as humans, still seek to live in, in wonder. Recommended for students of cosmology, mythology, anthropology or anyone else who marvels at the night sky above--and within--and who seeks a human place in a scientifically dead universe.
