Book Description

Miller Not-for-Profit Reporting is organized to focus first on existing pronouncements and proposed pronouncements that are expected to be issued in the near future. Those pronouncements apply directly to not-for-profit organizations and are covered in Part I, "Introduction and Background." Part II, "Accounting for Not-for-Profit Organizations," addresses accounting for individual account types and transactions recorded in the books of a not-for-profit organization. Part III, "External Financial Reporting," deals with external financial reporting, and Part IV, "Regulatory Financial Reporting," deals with regulatory reporting in the government arena, including requirements of the OMB Circulars and federal and state tax rules.

This volume analyzes all FASB Statements to the extent that they relate to reporting by not-for-profit organizations. Accordingly, not all of the recent pronouncements will be reported on in depth. As we did last year, we encourage you to use the Miller Complete Library for Business--consisting of the Miller GAAP Guide, the Miller GAAP Implementation Manual, and the monthly Miller GAAP Update Service--also published by Harcourt--to keep current on accounting and reporting matters that pertain to all entities.

Book Description

In the summer of 1948, Winthrop Knowlton and his friend, James C. Thomson, Jr., just graduated from prep school, set out for China.

During the next nine months they would travel throughout revolution-torn China as Mao Tse-tung's Communist forces moved ever southward fighting Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist armies in their retreat to Formosa. Separated by the war, they rejoined in South China and continued their journey -- their revolution around the world -- by freighter to a Europe still reeling from World War II, and across the Atlantic back home.

Knowlton's memoir tells a magnificent story of that remarkable time. The story closes with Knowlton's return to China in 1979 at the head of an American publishing delegation, a retrospective look at the events of 1948-49 giving the book still another historical and human dimension.

A Window on History.......2001-11-20

My First Revolution by Win Knowlton is a jewel of a book. It's the author's story of his year in China, after graduation from boarding school in 1948 - the year of the Communist revolution. It is an exuberant tale of youthful experience told with the wisdom that only comes with age. Mr. Knowlton's word pictures of this complicated country during one of the most important political episodes of the 20th century makes this book essential reading for anyone interested in the region.
For those who do read My First Revolution, there is a special dividend, namely Mr. Knowlton's quiet insights into his own life with many poignant observations that punctuate his story, but never distract the reader from the main event.

Book Description

For students ages eight to fourteen, the MY AMERICAN JOURNEY series presents a true history of the United States with a cleverly helpful dose of fiction.

Each of these first four books (in a projected series of ten) recounts highlights from the life of a true American founder or social pioneer. But to engage a studentÂ's interest from page one, a fictional narrator--usually a school-age person who somehow knew the main hero--tells the story with youthful vigor.

Adding to Deborah Hedstrom-PageÂ's unique lessons are plentiful illustrations from Sergio Martinez (Max LucadoÂ's You Are Special). Each book also contains study questions for every chapter and other educational helps.

George Washington (1732-1799) was an American Revolutionary War hero and the first president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) was the sixteenth president of the United

This is an excellent book. If are a collector of WWII Germain medals. I have not seen a better book in English. The original book has more items in it. But it is in Germain. It is a most get book if you are intrested in this subject.

Obviously if you purchase this book you're looking for accurate information about WWII German Medals, etc. This book is a must for all of us who enjoy collecting militaria, or are interested in historical research concerning Nazi decorations. It's definitely worthy to add to the "home library". ....

Definitive Reference Manual.......2000-09-18

If you are a collector of German militaria, or a historian/film maker/ etc. requiring research material on German medals & orders then this is one of the definitive books available.

Heinrich Doehle was involved with the Reich Minister's office in producing many of the medals & orders he outlines in this book, which was originally published in 1943. The color plates demonstrate the original medals and orders in unissued condition - there is no guesswork associated with their origin - as with pictures produced in current works.

Highly structured, broad approach.......2007-01-25

Philip Kotler is a big name in academic marketing circles. He has written 2 tomes that are used in marketing degree, diploma and MBA classes all around the world.

This is a commercial, more readable offering, for the busy executive, that doesn't have time to wade through a 1000 page academic treatise.

Each "Sin" has its own chapter, presenting the "signs" of the sin in bullet point form, so that you can tell if you are committing it, and then more indepth explanation of each sign. Kotler then presents the "solutions" to the sin in bullet point form, and then more indepth explanation of each solution.

This structured approach makes the book very easy to follow, and his main points easy to digest.

The "Deadly Sins" are:
1. The company is not sufficiently market focused and customer driven
2. The company does not fully understand its target customers
3. The company needs to better define and monitor its competitors
4. The company has not properly managed its relationships with its stakeholders
5. The company is not good at finding new opportunities
6. The company's marketing plans and planning process are deficient
7. The company's product and service policies need tightening
8. The company's brand building and communications skills are weak.
9. The company is not well organized to carry effective and efficient marketing
10. The company has not made maximum use of technology.

One possible criticism of this book is that it is too broad. Those ten sins represent a wide spectrum of marketing that 150 pages finds hard to do justice to. However at the end of each chapter, the author references several contemporary books and articles that inspire further reading!

4 stars.

Quick read, medium content.......2004-10-05

"Ten Deadly Marketing Sins" is a quick read. The text flows along very nicely, with appropriate and humorous anecdotes. However, the content is only of medium depth. Much of the advice has been said before by other source. Indeed, there are a great many quotes and references to articles and other books. In a way, the book reads a bit like a "literature summary", cobbling together all the interesting tidbits the author has read recently.

I read this book hoping to learn about avoiding mistakes in marketing the products of my publishing company. Since we are a very small company, much of Kotler's advice seemed irrelevant at this time in our development...we don't have a separate marketing department for example. Our marketing people are also sales people, and are also involved in the creative process. Should we someday have more than 10 employees, I can see that a few more of the ideas here should be re-examined.

A Good Read!.......2004-08-06

Increasingly, management is holding marketing departments responsible for making expensive mistakes and not contributing to profits. What's worse, marketers do not seem able to reverse the tide. That's where professor Philip Kotler's concise handbook becomes valuable. Kotler presents commonsense solutions to these problems by describing his version of the 10 deadly marketing sins and how to atone for them. He cites specific examples to drive home his points. This breezy, easy book is devoted to giving marketing practitioners advice that enables them to regain the high ground and lift marketing back into prominence in the corporate hierarchy. If you want to market your products, your department and your career, we suggest inviting Prof. Kotler over for this little chat.

Good reminder material, but hardly revolutionary.......2004-07-02

This is some good reminder material, but that is about it. He hardly mentions measuring the ROI of many of his "solutions", leading one to assume that adding an Intranet, Extranet, and CRM system are vital at all costs. Clearly, that is not the case.

My big problem with this and many other marketing books is that there is such a HUGE difference between Industrial (B2B) and Consumer (B2C) marketing that Phil should have written two books like this one - one for each. It would have been much more useful to most of the reviewers, I am sure.

I have used the consulting firm he credits in his acknowledgements (Hamilton Consultants) and find them very, very good.

Overall, this is a quick read, a nice reminder of things we still forget to do, but hardly an earth shattering best seller. I agree with others that I expected a little more from Phil Kotler.

Book Description

Vaughan Williams was one of the most significant English composers of this century. Much from his prodigious output has entered the standard repertoire, and he is well-known for a number of major works: the Tallis Fantasia, Serenade to Music, and the Fifth Symphony, to mention only three. Here is an entirely novel view of Vaughan Williams, his music, and his life. Using techniques originated in his Elgar: A Life in Photographs, Jerrold Northrop Moore has drawn photographs from family albums (many hitherto unpublished), from the great photographic artists of the earlier twentieth century, and from newspaper and magazine files to build a fascinating illustrated portrait of the composer. The visual images are set with captions, many of them quotations from Ursula Vaughan Williams's unique biography, RVW. Each layout has been carefully built up to set a scene, establish an emphasis, and often to cast lines of influence over many years in a composer's life. Jerrold Northrop Moore's work has had the benefit of close consultation with the composer's widow, who has written a preface.

Citizen Hero.......2004-10-23

"They Just fade Away" provides a moving reminder of how some have undertaken the horrific challenges of war so that the rest of us may be spared.
A deceptively simple style that is rich with poignant imagery and stunning understatement, is well suited to the modest citizen hero whose reflections allow us a view into those moments of lonliness, hardship and horror that were the lot of one of us, a long time ago.
"They just Fade Away" is a treasure that deserves our acclaim, its gifted author a brave and decent man who merits our admiration and our gratitude.

Book Description

Benjamin Disraeli utilizes previously ignored or little known sources to provide new insights into how one of the most famous Jewish converts was viewed by the Jewish community he ignored and by the larger Christian world that would not accept him. This book shows how a myth can take on a life of its own in the collective memory of the Jewish people, as well as in the thought processes of a variety of anti-Semitic groups. Its fresh approach to the life and lore of a colorful Victorian figure also raises the issue of ethnic identity and minority acceptance in our pluralistic society.

Book Description

This concise study of Benjamin Disraeli (1804-81) focuses on the substantial reassessment of Disraeli's career and personality that is currently taking place. Particular reference is made to the role played in Disraeli's conception of life and politics by his Jewishness and his romanticism. The book also seeks to understand Disraeli in a European as well as a British frame of thought. These new elements are set alongside all the principal biographical features of Disraeli's life and career. This "brief life" can therefore be read both as a standard, up-to-date biography of one of the greatest statesmen of the later Victorian age and as a reinterpretation of key aspects of Disraeli's life and times.

Customer Reviews:

Good, but not great.......2004-10-07

Overall, this brief biography offers an interesting portrait of a commanding political figure of the Victorian era. In order to fully appreciate Smith's rendition, however, one should become acquainted with (if not actually reading) Disraeli's novels, as his writing seems to be Smith's point of departure, and frequent point of reference in telling the story of Disraeli's life. I, for one, was less interested in linking the biographical themes in Disraeli's novels to his life's events, and more interested in capturing the essence of the epoch, with more detail and attention paid to the political developments of Disraeli's age.

A Too Brief Biography.......2001-05-20

Paul Smith attempts the impossible - to write a brief life - of the complex, remarkable and enigmatic Jewish politician and author Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of Beaconsfield. Smith almost pulls it off but another 50 or so pages would have given him much more scope to portray Disraeli's major contributions to the politics of identity, social and political reform and the recognition of the inevitability of working class emancipation. Smith allows his fascination with Dizzy's Jewishness and "outsider" status to overwhelm the other facets of his character and beliefs. Part of Dizzy's greatness as a politician was the ability to simultaneously portray himself as the ultimate outsider and the loyal, patriotic "insider." Until the election of Ramsey MacDonald as the first Labour Prime Minister in the 1920s, Disraeli stands alone as the most unlikely Prime Minister Britain ever had. Smith's book includes some good quotes from commentators such as Gladstone and Michael Foot. A book deserving a fuller treatment in its second edition but still a very useful introduction to its subject for young students of 19th century history.

Disraeli: A Brief Life.......2000-09-05

This is written for a british school person taking his or her O and or A levels. It is an enjoyeable read which put Disraeli in a comptempary historical view point. Yes, the Author actually compares Disraeli and his government to the tories of the 80's under the iron rule of Thatcher.
