Accounting Book.......2006-02-23
Not all of the information is updated that I thought could have been updated from the last edition.
Easy to follow and gives good examples.
Wow...What'll They Think of Next?.......2005-10-29
This book is great. Use the online resources! My professor is old school and made no mention of those resources. Had I not taken the time to figure them out and make use of them, I may not have passed the class. The narrated PowerPoint's were particularly helpful.
Best accounting book ever........2005-09-15
This book has helped me so much over the past year. Great book.

Book Description
Fundamental Accounting Principles, Fourteenth Edition, is the most-customer-driven revision in Fundamentals history. Surveys, focus groups, reviewers, and personal correspondence pointed the way to the trends in the introductory accounting market: the demand for a business orientation, the need to find new ways to motivate students, the need for flexibility and innovation in the classroom, new pedagogy, and the impact of technology. Reflecting these needs and the changes recommended by the Accounting Education Change Commission, Larson and Chiappetta have aggressively integrated real-company examples; made the topical presentation relevant and interesting to all business majors; developed innovative pedagogy; included challenging, new end-of-chapter material; and developed technological innovations for both instructors and students. The new modern principles course is supported by exciting changes in the text and supplement package.

Great seller.......2005-10-02
Book was a little more used than described, but hey for the price it couldn't be beat. To bad my sylabus was wrong and the professor changed the edition. Anyhow, seller was excellent. Fast shipping and I would reccommend.
My first accounting book.......2005-02-16
I used this textbook for my first accounting class and it was by far the best. Examples are all spelled out step by step and the numerous exercies and problems contribute to a higher level of understanding. Buy the workbook offered. It will save you a lot of time normally spent setting up the problem. Much better then some of the higher level books I have used.
Fundamental Accounting Principles.......2000-12-12
This text was VERY helpful. The illustrations and examples were enough to explain the topic without havung to read the entire book.. Also the problems given at the end of each section were very good. Some were tough; however, the author starts you out with easy problems and works up to the more difficult ones. This text definitely is a good learning aid.

Book Description
How to deal with inaccurate and false information so commonly found on resumes today. Guide to reducing turnover, eliminating dishonest job applicants, lowering risks of negligent hiring, avoiding public embarassment and improving hiring accuracy.

Common Sense?.......2005-03-18
Having been on both sides of the hiring process, I decided to read this book to see if I too had been duped. I don't know if the hard cover (if one exists) is longer and covers more material but I was not impressed with the contents.
To me the things presented here seem to be common sense with a dash of parannoia thrown in. While the author does make some good points, it seems that any of the things to look out for can be true of people who are not trying to scam a hiring manager or firm. What would have made this book 4 stars would have been examples of both blantant phony resumes (and cover letters since they are touched upon as well) and questionable ones (those that appear to be 85% or more truth) with a disection of each as well as "quick tips". A 5 star rating would have included a list of agencies or starting points to check on parts of resumes, e.g. DegreeCheck can verify aspects of a person education for a nominal fee (less than $15). The author does include some basic guidelines and a few case studies (using the term loosely) that will likely provide a decent base for someone who can do the leg work required.
This book makes a good start for someone new to the game or someone that just wants to check that they are doing the right things but offers no information that couldn't be gleaned from asking people you know who have been in the position to evaluate and hire. And despite its cover offers no "secrets" about fake resumes or other supporting documents.
A terrific countermeasure.......2001-03-19
As an employer, I can say with no reservation that this is one very useful book. Trying to hire the right people has been a headache for me for years, but with this book, I can get rid of the phonies right up front. It really is effective, showing how to see things that don't make sense right away, and how to quickly check suspicious entries. If you hire people, you will find this book a good resource.
VERY helpful! Every hiring manager should have it........2000-12-23
This book has to be the best hiring aid I ever had. I've been using it for over a year and just got two more copies of the new 2nd edition for my department managers. It will help you screen out the dopes and liars, and I tell you this from experience. I could not believe the con games I have uncovered using this book.
A tremendous tool for all who screen applicants.......1999-10-30
Dr. Ford has nailed down 99% of the scams and frauds that phonies use to try to get jobs they shouldn't have. This book is absolutely neccessary for anyone who has the job of trying to protect a hiring organization from phonies. It should be on the desk of all HR people as well as independent recruiters, counselors, and instructors. Well done!
Worth a million $$$ to an employer!.......1999-09-19
Already this book has helped me to screen out two potential disasters. They were very good, but I spotted their games with the help of Dr. Ford's book. It may not be worth a million, but thousands for sure. You wont believe what phonies are getting away with. I'm going to memorize this thing.
Book Description
In this provocative, wide-ranging book, Richard Manning offers a dramatically revisionist view of recent human evolution, beginning with the vast increase in brain size that set us apart from our primate relatives and brought an accompanying increase in our need for nourishment. For 290,000 years, we managed to meet that need as hunter-gatherers, a state in which Manning believes we were at our most human: at our smartest, strongest, most sensually alive. But our reliance on food made a secure supply deeply attractive, and eventually we embarked upon the agricultural experiment that has been the history of our past 10,000 years.
The evolutionary road is littered with failed experiments, however, and Manning suggests that agriculture as we have practiced it runs against both our grain and nature's. Drawing on the work of anthropologists, biologists, archaeologists, and philosophers, along with his own travels, he argues that not only our ecological ills-overpopulation, erosion, pollution-but our social and emotional malaise are rooted in the devil's bargain we made in our not-so-distant past. And he offers personal, achievable ways we might re-contour the path we have taken to resurrect what is most sustainable and sustaining in our own nature and the planet's.

A book for a welcome yet unexpected change of view.......2006-03-13
A book that takes up where the classic, "The Naked Ape", left off. This goes into the very beginnings of civilization and the fall out for some of the whys and consequences of it. Its premise is that our nature as hunter-gatherers is diametrically opposed with our agricultural/civilization way of life. Indeed civilization benefits only a small percentage of society. Mankind, as a whole, was far better off in being and soul as the hunter-gatherers. Well researched with an intuitive yet novel approach reminiscent of Desmond Morris's original. The kind of book that leaves you at its end with a better perspective of the world in which we live. A great book.
We are a victim of all we eat!!.......2006-02-04
There is no scholarship in the book, a few reference that are minimally supportive to his cause.
The premise of the book is that Agriculture hijacked civilization 10,000 years ago. Hijacked!!! How do you prove that one? He believes ALL agriculture is detrimental, including organic. He asks us to go back to hunting and gathering in the form of "perenial polyculture" and describes the satisfaction of a Buffalo hunt in a farmers field. He believes (no proof at all) that hunter gatherers had sensory abilities that make us moderns practically robotic. Are we victims of agriculture? - there is a real arrogance here for the reader, who apparently is too ignorant to see what has happened. This author has not got a clue what it meant to be a hunter gatherer, and there is little description of their lifestyle other than how the author feels when he goes out hunting.This is real belief in and grief for the loss of the garden of eden.
It is written like a expose, a conspiracy of the elite( probably started by a female), who just wanted to keep slaves and accumulate wealth.
This is a real disservice to people trying to improve/reform and innovate in agriculture.
It should have no stars at all(that option did not seem to be available) and I would not have read it, if it had not been choosen by my bookclub
Insightful, nuanced, but arguments need more proof.......2005-08-03
This book looks at how agriculture has affected the history of civilization and argues several conclusions. First, agriculture is not the optimal way for humans to draw sustanence from the earth. Instead, a lifestyle of hunting fishing, and gathering is. Second, the advent and spread of agriculture brings with it the concepts of social organization and hierarchy, private property, division of labor, slavery, and diseases spread to man from animals. Third, agriculture in the industrial world has reached the point that farms produce more food than people can eat, and farm products are now tools of trade and barter. Last, in industrial countries, agriculture and associated industries have colluded to create national policies that encourage more and more agricultural output and consumption, even though nobody starves in said countries.
Being a book about the history of the world and how it has changed, the author examines several key issues relating to the subject. These include:
1. The transition from a purely hunter-gatherer society to a society where hunting/gathering was practiced along with agriculture.
2. The transition to a purely agricultural society
The author argues that each of these steps was probably helpful in the short run in terms of better diet and higher sustainable populations, but in the long run they were less efficient than what came before it. Specifically, they led to overpopulation and then famine as soils were depleted. This in turn forced communities to migrate and come into contact with other communities, thereby leading to war. Long term effects include the growth of government to regulate and manage agriculture, armies to guard farm land, and the division of society into different groups according to how each could best contribute to the agricultural process.
The arguments and conclusions provided in this book are very insightful and would be new to most lay readers. However, there are several drawbacks to this book. First, it is short of empirical evidence. Many of the arguments are made using idealized models. Second, the book argues mainly from the history of the West, the Middle East and Africa. There is little mention of how agriculture has evolved over time and space in Australasia, Oceania, and pre-Columbus Americas. These are crucial omissions as the geography and climate in these lands vary greatly from that found in Europe, the Middle East, and sub-saharan Africa. Third, the arguments made in this book tend to minimize the affects due to different geographies, climates, and the occurrence of natural disasters such as earthquakes, volcanoes, etc...
Overall, this book is very insightful and worth reading. The subject matter of this book is growing in importance in recent decades, and agricultural policy is becoming highlighted as a factor in international relations, especially between Western and non-Western countries. The book's arguments should be read carefully though, and there are doubtless better referenced texts on this subject.
from hunter/gatherers to farmers & famine.......2005-04-22
Rebeccasreads highly recommends AGAINST THE GRAIN as the one history book that will change the way you look at the food on your plate, the vittles in your fridge, the produce at the supermarket, & the vast fruited plains of grains.
Richard Manning ranges far & wide, from past to present & into the future. He opens heretofore sacrosanct doors to show us how we handled agriculture & how we're doing it now, & what it is doing to our food supply. As well as the "dead zones" we are creating.
You will travel from a world newly refurbished after the glaciers withdrew down the ages on every continent & see our way of life from a truly different point of view.
After reading AGAINST THE GRAIN you might just find yourself mourning for a different way of life, one closer to this planet we call home.
Outstanding!
Thoughtful assessment of the sorry state of agriculture.......2004-09-28
Walk into to any supermarket and you probably feel very good about all of the choices you have. After all, the average supermarket carries over 25000 items these days. But if you are like most people, the vast majority of the items you will wind up purchasing are highly processed and contain precious little in the way of nutritional value. Did you know that nearly 2/3 of the calories the average American consumes come from just three crops--corn, wheat and potatoes?
Author Richard Manning sure got my attention with this fascinating book "Against The Grain". Manning argues that for the vast majority of history human beings were "hunter-gatherers". That is, people would migrate to where the food was and partake of a vast assortment of foods, everything from fruits and vegetables, to nuts and legumes and fresh meat. This all began to change about 10000 years ago with the advent of agriculture. Over the centuries people came to rely on fewer and fewer crops for survival. Manning notes that the pattern was virtually identical all over the world. Soon human beings came to rely on just a handful of crops, all high in carbohydrates, for survival. In recent decades the rise of huge conglomerates like ADM (Archer Daniels Midland) has further exacerbated the problem. Corporate entities do not view crops as food. Rather, they view crops as commodities and it is for this reason that family farms have all but disappeared, people in poor nations go unfed despite massive crop surplusses and those in rich nations wind up eating a largely bland and less than nutritious diet.
For those of us like myself who are poorly informed on these issues this book is certainly an eye-opener. Manning not only exposes the serious flaws in our current system but also proposes reasonable fixes to a number of these problems. Perhaps when we become aware of all those "empty" calories we ingest each day we will begin to think more carefully about the foods we eat. This book is extremely well written and kept my attention throughout. I would recommend it to just about anyone eager to learn more about these extremely serious issues.

Book Description
Part One: The Compton Observatory in Review Here is a work that must instantly be considered the essential reference on the scientific achievements of the Observatory's first six years. This comprehensive and authoritative work was written by the foremost experts in gamma-ray astronomy, including Neil Gehrels, Carl Fichtel, Robert Hartman, and Charles Meegan. With today's funding uncertainties and with scientists moving from one project to the next, the editors have taken advantage of a rare opportunity to distill the expertise of these central figures and record it in a single volume. Part Two: Papers and Presentations This work documents the Fourth Symposium with papers that explore the most violent events and energetic processes in nature. It takes an in- depth look at topics including pulsars, nova and supernova explosions, accreting black holes, quasar emissions, and interactions of cosmic rays with the interstellar medium. The book presents results from the latest high-energy missions, and recent theoretical studies and numerical simulations designed to explain many of the outstanding questions in high-energy astrophysics.
