Book Description
Garrison/Noreen has been- and still is- the market-leading text in managerial accounting, having educated close to 2 million students since its inception. In short, Garrison is the Guide in Managerial Accounting. The lighthouse on the cover symbolizes that for this difficult course, Garrison's comprehensive but manageable coverage, author-written supplements, and peerless end-of-chapter material makes it a safe and dependable choice for instructors and students alike. The loyalty and following it has achieved is due to the authors unwavering commitment to three simple principles: relevance, balance, and clarity.
- Relevance- Every effort has been made to help students relate the concepts in this book to decisions made by working managers. The Managerial Accounting in Action segments within the chapters help students apply concepts to real world problems.
- Balance- Garrison mixes its coverage to include a variety of both service and manufacturing organizations- this includes new coverage of e-commerce and e-tailers. Service examples have been expanded in this new edition and these are marked with a S icon in the margins.
- Clarity- The entire supplements package has been written by the author team to insure that students and professors will work with clear, well-written supplements that employ consistent terminology.

Well Written.......2007-09-24
The book is very concise & well written. It has helped me tremeendously in my Managerial Accounting class, and is very easy to understand.
Everything as expected!.......2007-02-16
The items arrived as expected; the price of the book was below the university bookstore.
Fair.......2007-01-10
The condition of the book when I received was not as good as stated. I did expedited shipping but it was just as slow as the regular shipping rate.
Not worth the money.......2007-01-03
This book was required for the class I took. The Ready Notes is a bound set of Powerpoint slides (3 per page). The instructor did not use the entire set of slides. I could have taken notes during the lecture and saved the money.
Good book .......2006-11-14
It is good book to learn managerial accounting and it also good to keep it as a reference.
Book Description
Accounting: What The Numbers Mean, 5e, was written to meet the needs of non-accountants who want a basic understanding of financial statements, and who want to learn how to use accounting information in the financial decision-making process. The reader is introduced to basic concepts supporting financial statements and managerial accounting information. Students learn what financial statements do and do not communicate. A complete annual report is included in the appendix.
Customer Reviews:
Seems intentionally confusing.......2007-03-25
I'm just starting a class that requires this book. I don't have a financial background. The book is confusing. It seems like the chapters outline basic principles. However, when it comes to doing the homework problems, the text asks things that were poorly covered and/or obscure.
I wish I didn't have to take this class and could get my money back.
Trish.......2006-02-27
I gave this book one star because there are no negative numbers available. The other reviews here are all true! This is a horrible textbook that jumps from subject to subject quickly, gives simplistic examples in the chapter and then throws complex homework problems with new components not explained in the chapter--oh and don't let me forget to mention that the terminology changes from chapter to homework as well! A friend with two masters (business and engineering) became so frustrated trying to help with a problem that he threw his hands up. The terminology kept throwing him off.
If you are supposed to buy this text I suggest you either show these to college administration ahead of time, or take another class. This is so bad I won't even sell mine back. I'm throwing it in my grill to burn.
This text is terrible.......2005-11-16
This book lacks effective structure, or comprehensible structure at least, and the writing is both tedious and meandering. Many of the examples are minimally useful and some are only vaguely associated to the concepts they are meant to support. Useless! This book wasted the time I had taken from my family to study accounting. Why would anyone select this text for a graduate level class???
What a waste of money.......2005-10-17
This textbook is fullllllll of inaccuracies. Additionally, the author gets some sort of sick thrill from giving really simple, insufficient examples in the chapters, and then giving over-the-top difficult questions in the homework. This author also loves to ramble and make this already tedious subject just as incomprehensible as he can possibly make it. My husband is a CFO and could NOT believe how horrible this book is. It's that bad. Students should demand that a different textbook be required.
Very confusing text.......2005-02-09
I found this textbook to be very confusing. It doesn't spend enough time elaborating on each topic before it moves on to the next.

Great for Non-Accountants.......2006-10-19
I found the book to be attractively put together and full of examples. They address both manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments - including service industries. Managerial Accounting is a vital tool for businesses as it provides techniques for making better business decisions based on data instead of "hunches". Nonetheless, the material can be difficult to get through. The authors understand this and use real-life examples to help give insight as to the way businesses use these analysis techniques. Because the material can be challenging, I can understand some people finding the material boring. However, given the type of material, I feel the authors have done a commendable job in communicating the material in an appealing way.
Boring read for good subject.......2002-04-17
Reading through this book is a BORE! :( Examples are almost non-existant, there's like nothing (like definitions) on the sides of the pages, and no glossary. How poorly written! Please find an alternative to learn this rather interesting subject. Thank you!
-Upset reader of this school book
Disappointing.......2001-05-01
Having previously read "Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts" by the same people, this book was a disappointment. It came off as incredibly dry, and was not all that clear in its presentation of the concepts. The "Fundamental Financial Accounting" volume is great, but I'd recommend another author for the managerial book.

From the supplier: Many local police agencies have experienced problems with unsuitable police officer candidates by using shortcuts in pre-employment techniques in their rush to receive federal funding for hiring more officers. Postive candidate identification, a candidate's attitude toward responsibility, and a candidate's possible criminal history are three elements of a backgroud check for policemen. Separate personnel and background files, an annual policy review, consistent forms, date of implementation, and screening parameters are also important policy manual elements in candidate screening.

Book Description
Clear and concise, this easy-to-use text offers an introductory course on the language of gene cloning, covering microbial, plant, and animal systems. The essential concepts in biology relevant to the understanding of gene cloning are presented in a well-organized and accessible manner. Consistent with its introductory nature, the book begins by outlining the basic principles of biology and aspects of genetics relevant to the concepts of gene cloning. The next section explores the common techniques and approaches used in gene cloning. The author then discusses various applications in agriculture and food, and in medicine and related areas. The practical uses of gene cloning are extensively illustrated, with specific examples from the literature to demonstrate how gene cloning is conducted utilizing the concepts developed in previous sections. Review questions at the end of each chapter provide self-testing, allowing the reader to assess their understanding of the materials. With more than 90 illustrations, The ABCs of Gene Cloning is an invaluable book for nonscientists as well as scientists with little background knowledge in gene cloning. It provides a wealth of information for anyone with a desire to gain some proficiency in reading and speaking the language of gene cloning. The book covers the essential concepts of gene cloning, paying special attention to explaining jargon in simple, easy-to-understand terms. A unique feature of this book is the inclusion of sample applications of gene cloning in food science, nutrition, and biomedicine, making it a much-needed reference for individuals in these fields who lack formal training in this increasing important area. End-of-chapter exercises and reading assignments are presented to facilitate self study.
