Book Description

This is a key textbook for specialist readers of accounting and finance, either undergraduate or professional, taking a first course in auditing. In this third edition the authors continue to provide a refreshing, imaginative and thorough introduction to the audit process, with a rational and coherent foundation for the appreciation of auditing practice. The text is entirely brought up to date with changes post-Enron, with new auditing standards including IAS, and with changes in UK company law. With the aid of numerous examples, case studies and questions, The Audit Process: Principles, Practice and Cases provides a realistic and thought-provoking insight into the individual components of the auditing process in the context of the entire audit. A major strength of the book is its questioning approach, designed to encourage the student to interact with the material.

Customer Reviews:

The book lacks any system.......2000-10-19

Most importantly, the book lacks any system and after reading it you do not really get the big picture and systematic view of hte auditing process. Many chapters are long winded: it takes the authors long time to say something. The cases are not as many and do not give very good examples of the auditing process as I was expecting before buying the book.

The Best book for learning auditing.......2000-05-15

First, the book begins with a case of small business (Andrew and James, two friends, are going in a busines of selling of a bunkrupt stock; James stays out of active business due to a accidental broken leg till the end of the 6 month period where this the time for sharing the profit of this joint-venture.) which is the clearest one telling the very concept of the subject (auditing in this case). And also the presantion is very good, case studies, activities are very good and subject is clearly explained around those. The small notes at side of each page are also very informative and they accelarate the reading and understanding of the subject. The questions and answers at the second part of the book (actually 30 pages at the end of the book of total 650 or so pages of the book)is very helpful. And each chapter contains at the end a useful list of reading materials as referance and further reading. If you want to learn auditing process both in theory and practice this the book where you should look at first.

Pretty but not helpful.......2007-03-26

The illustrations of techniques are super clear. But each item of clothing includes only one size (women's sweater: size small. What does that even mean?) And the dimensions on the diagrams are only in centimeters. So ok, I can pull out my tape measure and look on the back. But I have an intuitive sense of what a 34" bust looks like, and no clue what 40 cm means. The elegance is in the simple lines of the items and the basic but elegant wool used. Nothing frou-frou or easily dated here. But if you're not the size that the pattern is for, you've got a lot of work to figure out how to adapt the patterns.

Beautiful but disappointing.......2007-03-07

The first part of this book, like so many, includes some basic knitting instructions. The photography and the patterns are indeed beautiful. The downfall is that the patterns are not well done.
-Pictures often don't show the whole item - what does the bottom of that sweater look like?
-Pictures of finished items are not on models - sure it looks great nicely arranged but how does it look on a person?
-No measurements are given for sizes - what exactly is a size medium?
-Patterns are only given for one size (large for example) with no instructions on how to modify.

Some good stuff but translated edition is beyond frustrating!.......2007-01-24

Lament: the recent trend in knitting books is a lot of "dumbing down" to insure that every newbie can knit something "funky" with record speed, with assurances that this is "Not Your Grandmother's Knitting". (Roll eyes.) It's a disservice to knitters new to the craft, many of whom value knitting's continuity with the past and the chance to challenge themselves.

...and then at the other extreme, a book like this, sure to frustrate all but the most experienced and independent knitter - and these would probably find the patterns here a bit *too* basic.

"Beautiful Knitting" is full of handy and useful info, from selvage techniques that would elevate the simplest garter stitch scarf, to mini-stitch pattern dictionaries and a handy appendix of the type you WISH every knitting book had, with thumbnail pics referencing the page where you can find this pattern or that stitch. Whatever difficulties with the English translation of this book, there's quite a bit of value in the non-pattern content.

However, quirkiness of translation and poor proof reading/editing for errata pretty much makes the patterns here worthless to the sub-expert knitter. Here's one that many would spot right away: In the baby blanket and booties pattern on pg. 60, the photo clearly shows a blanket with a garter border on all four sides, but the written directions clearly have you knit for one inch in garter at one end of the blanket, continue in straight stockinette until an inch from the end, then finish with garter. I guess non-newbies will tend to catch this alright, but I spot other errors in the patterns and don't even want to hesitate a guess to what I'm NOT noticing is amiss, as an advanced beginner.

Savvy pattern perusers in the U.S. already know that European patterns offer a little less hand-holding - directives like "reverse all shaping" as opposed to line-by-line instructions showing how to work that second sleeve. Still, it has always seemed to me that when a pattern is offered in just one size, it's discouraging and downright unfriendly to the average knitter, who may not have read every Interweave Knits or Knitty article on resizing a garment, or have a home library stocked with books on designing knitwear. We weren't all born with needles in our hands!

Another faux pas, at least to this knitter: There are lovely things shown in the book for which NO pattern is offered. For the aforementioned blanket/booties pattern, three different types of booties are shown (cuffed, cuffless, and felted), but instructions for only ONE is given. Pg. 82's toddler cardigan is photographed with a matching cap and adorable "elf toe" booties with fairisle inset - again, no pattern for these.

Finally, all the garments are shown laid flat on a surface, which gives the knitter little ability to judge how they might look on a human body. I know, other knitting books do this as well, but it's still a pet peeve.

This is a book possibly worth having if - like me - you are a obsessive about learning new or better ways to finesse the small details of garment finishing and so on. As for the patterns, I think my new rule is I'm only buying new knitting books from publishers who stand behind theirs with an online errata page. (These days, many do.) Too bad, because there's much to love here.

Buy it!!!.......2006-12-24

"Very disappointed" must be an "avid" but beginner knitter. This is one of the loveliest, most informative knitting books I have ever seen. For a change it is geared to the more advanced knitter rather than just being a rehash of baby designs. I own at least 300 knitting books and think this is one of the best. The patterns are beautiful and NEW and the instuctions are easy to follow. I just bought a brand new copy for less than $4.00. Grab one while you still can. Believe me if it weren't great I'd never have anything good to say about a French anything!!

Very Disappointed.......2006-12-19

I was eagerly anticipating this book, but was very disappointed. It is beautifully laid out, but the content leaves much to be desired. Evidently it was translated from the French and lost a lot in the translation.

The patterns are nothing to get excited about, the instructions are very difficult to follow -- in fact, they are downright confusing. In most cases only one size is given for a garnent rather than a range of sizes. There are lots of omissions in the translation that make interpreting the directions very frustrating.

There are some excellent suggestions in the book relating to techniques, but the remainder of the book leaves much to be desired.

Book Description

This abundantly illustrated book provides the first full account of houses built and inhabited by the English upper classes during the period of radical social change between 1480 and 1680. Architectural historian Nicholas Cooper explores hundreds of gentry houses, some well known and others less familiar, and considers their evolution in the light of economic, political, and social changes of the age.

A Comprehensive Guide to a World of Possibilities!.......1997-06-25

This book is an excellent guide for parents who want to be able to provide their children with appropriate opportunities to focus their talents and interests into a life path. The book includes many exercises and stories of individuals and goal-setting guidelines, as well as lists of questions to ask your children to help them identify what it is they would like to do when they grow up, a question many of us still ask ourselves well into our careers. In a world of bewildering choices, this book gives parents a chance to help their children (and themselves!) find an anchor that will enrich and bring meaning to their lives. I highly recommend it--you'll refer to this book time and again

Book Description

Meet the Budapest String Quartet, captured here in a 1959 New Yorker profile that exemplified not only the way they handled stress, but the way they handled their life and music: "Sasha leaped from his chair and with violin held aloft, played the passage with exaggerated schmalz, like a street fiddler in Naples. Kroyt...stopped playing and started singing a Russian song...Mischa Schneider thereupon performed a number of stupendous triads on his cello...Only Roisman went quietly on with his part, untouched by the pandemonium around him, playing Beethoven with his noble tone and elegant bowing." Here were four men with personalities as varied as their ways of playing. Yet when they played, they produced a perfect union of instrumental voices and interpretive nuances that not only created an entirely new audience for chamber music in America, but made the Budapest String Quartet the premier chamber music group of the twentieth century. In Con Brio, Nat Brandt tells the fascinating story of the Budapest Quartet, from its founding in 1917 (when its members were 3 Hungarians and one Dutchman) to the trials and triumphs of its core members, the four Russian Jews--Joseph Roisman, Alexander (Sasha) Schneider, Mischa Schneider, and Boris Kroyt--who brought the Quartet to worldwide fame. We are there on the chilling night in 1934 when Nazi soldiers go backstage to congratulate four 'Hungarians' on their outstanding performance. That night, realizing that the Budapest name would not protect them forever, the four decide to leave Nazi Germany, never to return. We follow them to America, where they become the country's first quartet-in-residence at the Library of Congress, where they record the Mozart quintet with guest clarinetist, the King of Swing himself, Benny Goodman, and where, in 1957, they become the first chamber music ensemble to appear on television, bringing Debussy, Dvorak, and the Beethoven E minor into the homes of hundreds of thousands of spellbound viewers. Here too is a personal glimpse of the Quartet: in rehearsal, shouting at each other in Russian and German, bows in hands like rapiers, to make a point in their arguments before they decide matters by a vote; in their hotel rooms, obsessively playing bridge to relieve the stress of a rigorous concert schedule; in concert, abruptly stopping in the middle of a piece because an audience has become noisy; and at home, spending time with their family and friends. As Sasha Schneider recalls, "It is much easier to be married to one person than to be married to a string quartet." Said Jascha Heifetz, "One Russian is an anarchist; two Russians is a chess game; three Russians are a revolution; four Russians are the Budapest String Quartet." And in these pages we experience the passion for music and life of four Russians--Joe, Sasha, Mischa, and Boris--whose playing seduced the entire world and created a musical legacy--of a unity of sound and uniqueness of interpretation--for generations of musicians to come.

Book Description

This remarkable chronicle of life and death in the Jewish Ghetto of Kovno, Lithuania, from June 1941 to January 1944, was written under conditions of extreme danger by a Ghetto inmate and secretary of the Jewish Council. After the war, in order to escape from Lithuania, the author was forced to entrust the diary to leaders of the Escape movement; eventually it made its way to his new home in Israel.

The diary incorporates Avraham Tory's collections of official documents, Jewish Council reports, and original photographs and drawings made in the Ghetto. It depicts in grim detail the struggle for survival under Nazi domination, when--if not simply carted off and murdered in a random "action"--Jews were exploited as slave labor while being systematically starved and denied adequate housing and medical care. Through it all, Tory's overriding purpose was to record the unimaginable events of these years and to memorialize the determination of the Jews to sustain their community life in the midst of the Nazi terror.

Of the surviving diaries originating in the principal European Ghettos of this period, Tory's is the longest written by an adult, a dramatic and horrifying document that makes an invaluable contribution to contemporary history. Tory provides an insider's view of the desperate efforts of Ghetto leaders to protect Jews. Martin Gilbert's masterly introduction establishes the authenticity of the diary, presents its events against the backdrop of the war in Europe, and considers the crucial questions of collaboration and resistance.
