This comprehensive Guide not only provides exposure to these pronouncements, but also unmatched clear interpretations of the pronouncements. Detailed examples help readers visualize everyday applications of the pronouncements.
CCH's U.S. Master GAAP Guide groups pronouncements into topics that, in turn, are arranged to follow major balance sheet headings. This organization allows the reader to find all current pronouncements on a given subject in one section of the book.
The book uses a helpful three-step approach for each topic to give readers easy access to practical insights and a depth of understanding that can't be obtained by other publications. First, the U.S. Master GAAP Guide features flow charts that illustrate the decision process and accounting procedures. Then, general discussion of the major provisions provides a context for understanding, and finally, detailed examples show the specific computations and accounting requirements. Published annually in August, the U.S. Master GAAP Guide includes all the latest pronouncements issued through the first half of the year.

This is a great GAAP resource........2003-07-25
Dr. Jarnigan was my accounting professor at Wichita State University. I have used past editions of this guide also. He is an extremely knowledgeable instructor with an exceptional understanding of GAAP and this comes across very clearly in this guide.

The Watch
ASIN: 208013633X
Release Date: 1998-01-15 |
Book Description
Among all the timepieces created during the 20th century, the Tank watch, designed by the master jeweler Louis Cartier has remained the most long-lived and the most coveted by glamorous people around the world. Inspired by the modernistic design of the Renault tank and given to General Pershing in 1918, it was the first elegant wristwatch destined for the modern man of action. Adapted also for women, the Tank has been a constantly evolving masterpiece of the jeweler's art while remaining an object of practical design for an age of technological progress.
This elegant volume traces the story of the celebrated Tank from its inception in 1917 throughout the century, weaving history and anecdote, and linking its many variations to the other great designs for watches and jewelry from Cartier's long and distinguished production. An illustrated history in three parts covers the evolution of the design and tells the story of the famous people who wore them. This is followed by an extensively researched, comprehensive catalogue featuring more than 250 vintage models drawn from Cartier's archives as well as numerous private collections around the world.
The informative text and superb illustrations locate the Tank at the heart of Cartier's creations, and also in the context of contemporary watchmaking and objets d'art, where Cartier has always been an innovator. It presents the astonishing range of Tank forms from nearly a century of design--from the rare Tank Chinoise to the famous Must and the recent Tank Française--all of which have maintained the unique Cartier identity.
Drawing on Cartier's extensive archives--many published here for the first time--this sumptuous volume, with more than 540 illustrations, provides an essential resource for vintage watch collectors and for all those who admire Cartier's distinctive style and exquisite workmanship.

An Excellent History of the Tank Watch.......2002-07-18
I bought this book a couple years ago, and I still enjoy looking through it today. Besides being an excellent historical account on the origins of the Tank watch, it also includes a detailed chronological picture catalogue of all Tank watches produced by Cartier. I recommend it to anyone who owns or admires the Tank and wants to learn more about the origins of this much-copied Cartier classic.
A Great Addition to a Cartier Collector's Menagerie.......2000-06-10
This book is great! It is essential to the collection of any Cartier Collector. It takes the reader through the history of the Cartier Tank Watch, beginning in the early 1900s. It shows different models and how they've changed as style has. A great Coffee table book, one to show style, sophistication, and chic. ONE TRENDY BOOK!

68 Projects for Authentic Indian Articles
Customer Reviews:
A true treasure from the past.......2007-09-04
If you want a politically correct and modern Native American craft book, this is not it. Though the copyright is 1973, this book has a 50's feel and sketches. However, it is a wealth of information with crafts ranging from leather & rawhide making to building your own dogsled. With a simple change of materials theses scout projects go from Hollywood to historically correct. I found this book to have the best set of instructions and illustrations for making an Eastern style roach headdress despite the instructions calling for manila fibers (I used turkey beards). I highly recommend this book to the Buckskinner or Native enthusiast.

How to make everything essentail in N.A. Indian culture.......1998-08-28
W. Ben Hunt has captivated me. With intricate detailed drawings and scetches. His down home lingo about his life with Indian peoples. From the construction of teepee's, tomahawks, headresses, tomtom's, and everything in between. I am sure you will be as enthralled and excited as I was. I have learned and retained so much knowledge I have to recomend it to everyone interested.

Book Description
Everyone knows someone who's going through the process of trying to conceive a child. For some people this effort is merely a minor struggle, but for others it can mean months, and years, of profound disappointment and heartbreak. There are hundreds of books that give advice on how to get pregnant, but very few on how to cope with such a trying ordeal. Pennies from Heaven offers much-needed comfort, support, and hope in the form of 101 daily meditations. Each entry begins with a quote or idea for the day, followed by a thoughtful discussion. Written by a couple who underwent their own difficulties attempting to conceive (with eventually happy results), Pennies from Heaven offers perspectives for both men and women, and covers issues from the mundane to the more philosophical, and everything that comes between. At once funny, tender, and wise, it provides the kind of solace that most infertility books can't--the kind that comes from the heart.

Prayer studies.......2005-08-01
Meditations or prayers are very helpful for people with the stress of infertility. My website has changed to a blog I change more than weekly. I have this book on the blog because it meant something to me. There are so few people out there who understand. fertileprayers/blogspot.com for a whole heap of links!
How many meditations are there for the infertile?.......2004-11-20
There are only three I know of! This is the first I saw, and then I wrote one. See my website where this is also linked, www.fertilityfair.com to learn more.

Fertile Prayers:Dailly Fertile Prayers
For heterosexuals in the very early stages of infertility.......2001-12-23
This book would be appropriate for heterosexual couples who are still trying to conceive and have not yet seen a doctor about it. Its an extremely simple book and not for the seriously infertile. THe book also never addresses the possibility that a woman may be trying to conceive a child without a man in her life or with another woman. A good book if your sad that you didnt get a positive on a home pregnancy test after your first cycle of trying.
Worth Reading, But..........2001-07-18
...it didn't really strike any deep chords with me. There isn't much emphasis on the spiritual aspects of infertility (e.g.: "Why does God let this happen?"), so if you're not interested in spiritual things, you'll love this. If you *are* a religious/spiritual person, you'll probably be left wanting. Overall, this is a worthwhile read, and it does offer some encouragement.
Read out loud to each other and discuss...........2000-01-22
One of the "benefits" to infertility is that you really get to work on your marriage and become much closer than couples that have babies easily. One of the things that we have started doing each night right before we go to bed is to read one page from this book out loud--kind of like a little joint prayer/meditation. I never thought my husband would go for something as "touchy-feely" as this, but he has really come to like it. The amazing thing is that each night I pick a page at random--and without fail it is always on a topic that we were struggling with that day!

Another Snub of Bonzo.......2002-01-16
This book boasts from great production, and it certainly has some wonderful color pictures in it. But it's missing one crucial piece: a fair representation of John Bonham. Toward the beginning of the book there's two page isolation on each member, the left page being the member's name (Page, Plant, or Jones) with a saying about him, and the right page being a big color shot of him. Bonzo's conspicuously missing from this part of the book, and it irked me. My theory is that this author (Mr. Ranter) got irritated by Bonzo sometime in the 70's when he, Plant, and Ratner were looking at some of his pix. Bonzo, according to this book, essentially said the pictures were beautiful, but where were the shots of him??!! This apparently had a lasting impact on Ratner, possibly insulting him, so he snubbed Bonzo a little by not including him in that beginning spotlight portion of the book. There are, believe it or not, even some out-of-focus pictures in this book. For me, "Photographers Led Zeppelin" is the book to own if you can get it. If you can only get "Live Dreams," it's better than not having it, I guess.
BE WARNED!!.......2001-07-18
I love this book, BUT it is definantly only for the Zeppelin fanatic. A lot of the pictures included in this book can be found in some of the less pricey books. If you need it soon find another book. It took almost 18 week for me to get my copy. "Live Dreams" is a beautiful book with pristine pictures and stories that you can only find here. It has some one of a kind pictures and a detailed cover that makes this book feel like a treasure. If you truely LOVE Led Zeppelin than this book is worth the extra money and waiting.
Not worth the price........2001-06-26
I found this book to be over produced and lack of format. Although there was some interesting reading, I feel this book could have had alot better information in it for the price, plus the way it was written didn't make a whole lotta sense. Yes, there are some excellent pictures, but many of them weren't all that exciting. I do not recommend this book, as it is hardly anything but a collector's item.
supper well done.......1999-10-18
I THOUGHT WHEN I BOUGHT MY COPY OF LIVE DREAMS THAT THERE WAS ONLY 2000 COPIES AMERICAN MADE I TALKED WHITH SOMEONE THERE AT THE OFFICE ABOUT HOW I GOT ROBERTS AND JIMMYS AUTOGRAPHS AND WITH LUCK OCT 23 JOHN PAUL JONES IS PLAYING AT THE OGDEN THEATER IN COLORADO DO YOU KNOW OF ANY WAY YOU CAN HELP ME GET THAT SINGTURE .ALSO I HAVE BOOK #635 JUST LOOKING FOR THAT LAST POSSIBLE AUTOGRAPH ANYWAY THANK YOU FOR ANY SUGESTIONS.
Excellent "pictography" of Led Zeppelin's days on the road........1997-03-03
This excellent 208-pg. hardback coffee-table book describes in words and in pictures the live shows and road trips of one of the greatest rock bands ever, Led Zeppelin. The book chronicles Led Zeppelin's peak touring years, from 1972-1977. Most of the book is filled with pictures of members of the band, playing live. There is also a fairly detailed description of Led Zeppelin on and off of the stage. I really enjoyed the vivid detail of the pictures and the biographical information, and so would you, whether you own every Led Zeppelin album or have never heard of Jimmy Page. There is simply no better way to relive all the glorious moments of Led Zeppelin's electrifying career than with this book!!

Book Description
The story of Rudolf Rocker is the combined tale of a life and a social movement - a life that reflects with amazing accuracy the development of the anarchist movement and its various nuances. Rocker witnessed anarchism at its height, but he also saw its decline, and ultimate disintegration. During his long years of activity within the ranks of the anarchist movement, Rocker took part in the major stages of its history, from the birth of anarchism in post-Bismarck Germany, through the notorious phase of "Propaganda by Deed" in France and the London battles against the sweating system, until "the last cause" - the Spanish Civil War. A gentile who taught himself Yiddish and Jewish culture, Rocker was for half-a-century the soul of the Jewish anarchist movement, a spiritual teacher, a philosopher, and a preacher. He was the anarchist "rabbi," a man who not only talks but also acts on his beliefs. Rocker was the father of the anarcho-syndicalist trend, and his major philosophical contribution, Nationalism and Culture, constitutes to this day one of the most serious attempts to analyze critically the emergence of nationalism, and its relationship to the political state and western civilization.
