Book Description
SURVEY OF ACCOUNTING 3e, is designed for a one-term introductory accounting course.

Book Description
This text provides a contemporary introduction to accounting and accounting systems. It covers the essence of both financial and managerial accounting in a non-procedural, non-debit and credit manner. After a brief introduction to financial statement preparation, the remainder of the text focuses on controls and the use of accounting information in decision making.

Outstanding Accounting Book.......2006-05-19
This is an outstanding book for studying accounting. It gives an excellent survey of basic financial and managerial accounting. Students will find a treasured spot with the online resources. The lessons presented in PowerPoint are great learning tools to reinforce each chapter in the book. Using the templates to complete homework assignments is just wonderful. I recommend students don't just pass over these resources without even trying them. They will make your studies much easier.
Book review.......2006-02-25
This is a good overview of financial and managerial accounting. It provides the necessary details to understand the accouting system and financial management practices.
It could be improved by better defining T-accounts equal ledgers in most accounting practices.
Book Description
Most accounting books are difficult for business professionals to learn from, due to too much depth and breadth of coverage. This text makes it easy to train yourself or your employees, since it covers only the financial and managerial accounting concepts they really need to know. Managers and other professionals will get a good working knowledge of both how and why accounting is used in business, and in making informed decisions. Plus, financial and managerial topics are both included, and can be covered independently of each other.

Book Description
Arditti describes and explains four major classes of derivative instruments: options, futures, interest rate swaps, and mortgage derivatives. He discusses each market's structure and the applications and pricing of each instrument, focusing on the valuation methods that are most commonly used by professional market participants. Each segment begins with a description of the institutional arrangements that have come to characterize the markets in which the instruments trade. Arditti examines basic derivatives in each class with respect to their risk transference properties, risk management applications, and pricing. He then traces the evolution of these markets in terms of new instruments introduced, the factors inspiring their development, and the alterations in pricing technology required by more complex derivatives. Arditti includes numerical examples to clarify the procedures. The Financial Management Association Survey and Synthesis Series.
Customer Reviews:
Very good Book for a practitioner.......2005-12-09
I found the book very useful in practice. It gave you a lot of details.
Very poorly written.......2004-02-13
I found Arditti's writing to be simply attrocious. What the marketplace needs is a clear, concise guide to instrument structure and valuation, and Mr. Arditti writes in circles. As an example, his chapter on option pricing refers to "using the methods used previously in this chapter" without referring to how to apply these to the method just introduced. The method just introduced was explained using numbers that were presumably fabricated, but lord only knows, because the author can't be bothered to specify how his example was structured.
In trying to explain things simply, the author fails to explain anything clearly. "Derivatives" is an extreme disappointment. As a reference, this book may have some use, but if you're looking to learn something from it, stear clear.
He knows how to design derivatives and make them work.......2003-07-28
I am completely satisfied with this book. He knows how to design derivatives and make them work. This book does a remarkable job of explaining the theory and practice of derivative securities.
EXCELLENT AND IN PATCHES OUTSTANDING.......2000-08-09
This book is an excellent resource for beginning and intermediate level fund managers who want to understand the derivatives to be able to use them in risk hedging and income maximization.
The book is excellently organized in four sections and each section is self sufficient. Each of the sections begin with basics, illustrates the concepts with example, introduces the mathematics of pricing and methodology of hedginag of risks
Every section has also a nice subsection on terminology and definitions.
The book is an excellent attempt to explain a highly technical and complex subject.The section on Interest Rate swaps is outstanding. A must read for all corporate money managers and a must addition to all financial libraries.
Book Description
This book provides the basics of both financial and managerial accounting. Financial accounting provides primarily monetary information about business activities that result in the financial statements that are published for use by people outside the business. Managerial accounting provides monetary and nonmonetary information about business activities that result in supporting details for the financial statements or that provide information for internal organizational users to plan, control, or make decisions about operations. It is not intended to be a comprehensive volume in either financial or managerial accounting, but an introduction for non-business majors. The book takes a user orientation, steering clear of detailed, technical discussions. Many interesting examples from the travel industry are integrated throughout to catch the reader's interest and to apply concepts to companies they may know.

Book Description
Soil is the basis not only for all gardening, but for all terrestrial life. No aspect of agriculture is more fundamental and important, yet we have been losing vast quantities of our finite soil resources to erosion, pollution, and development. Now back in print, this eminently sensible and wonderfully well-focused book provides essential information about one of the most significant challenges for those attempting to grow delicious organic vegetables: the creation and maintenance of healthy soil. Chapter 2, "Understanding the Soil System," is alone worth the price of admission. Gershuny and Smillie give lay readers and experts a clear explanation of subjects--soil life and nutrient cycles--that have confounded most authors. Nowhere will the reader find simpler and more coherent descriptions of key concepts including cation exchange capacity and chelation. The soil fungi - 23977 Bytes There are other books about soil available, including Grace Gershuny's comprehensive Start with the Soil, and there are books that feature chapters on soil building. What distinguishes The Soil of Soil is the authors' concise presentation; they give readers important information, including technical essentials, without getting bogged down in scientific or quasiscientific mumbo-jumbo. In addition, useful tables list specific compost materials, green manures, and other resources that allow growers to translate into action the more general information provided by the book. The soil-building techniques featured include: * Organic matter management * Building and maintaining humus * On-site composting * Green manures and rotations; * Cultivation and weed control; * Nutrient balances and soil testing; * Using mineral fertilizers; * Planning for organic certification. Updates to the 1999 edition include analysis of Proposed Rules for the National Organic Standards, and expanded recommendations for private testing services and soil-testing equipment for home gardeners and organic farmers. All of us involved in the cultivation of plants--from the backyard gardener to the largest farmer--need to help regenerate a "living soil," for only in the diversity of the soil and its creatures can we ensure the long-term health of ourselves and our environment. The Soul of Soil offers everyone a basic understanding of what soil is and what we can do to improve our own patch of it. Seen in this light, this practical handbook will be an inspiration as well.
Customer Reviews:
For master gardeners and farmers, but also good for basics.......2003-02-05
This is truly a good book. It is short, simply written, and very informative. However, it is a little technical for the average Gardner. I personally picked-up this book to gain general knowledge about soil, and I found everything I asked for and more. Nevertheless, there were things that I felt were not explained enough, but that's not the fault of the author because I am neither a master gardner nor a farmer. In the begging of the book it almost seemed like the author was one of the environmentalist extremists, however as I continued reading I found the author to be a responsible writer with no extremism. As a matter of fact, on several occasions the author offered advise to non-organic farmers. Overall, a great book and coming from my non-farmer background I would give it 4 stars.

The Soul of Soil
The Soul of Soil
Understanding our soil is essential to successful gardening and farming, as well as to building a sustainable future for the planet. Grace Gershuny and Joe Smillie have devoted decades to unlocking the secrets of this mysterious and often maligned substance and they share their wisdom with us here. Includes descriptions of the major soil types, nutrient cycles and physical properties of soil, as well as lessons on composting and cover cropping. This book gives us the tools we need to understand the complex interactions that take place below our feet as we work to turn the tide against the erosion, pollution and outright destruction of our precious earth.
The Soul of Soil.......2001-06-28
Very informative book but it is a little technical for home garderner.
