27 Feb 10 *ACP Speaker’s Handbook with CD

buy textbooks online, Review

“This text will allow me the pedagogical freedom to apply the concepts in my own teaching style. I can count on the fact that when students navigate through the chapter, they will read only the ’nuts and bolts’, then they will do a written exercise, then I can further reinforce the information through guided practice in the classroom.”

“The Speaker’s Handbook provides some of the most effective, realistic research and delivery techniques of any oral communication text on the market. Students can become first-rate extemporaneous, conversational and substantive speakers under the guidance of Jo Sprague and Douglas Stuart.”
This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description

27 Feb 10 The Speaker’s Handbook

buy textbooks online, Review

“It is a great book as it includes substantial information on the most up-to-date communication theoretical concepts in relation to public speaking, as well as good supplemental material that would be useful for opening the door to developing speaking skills for our students.”

“Unquestionably the best handbook-format textbook, and the most focused, clearly written public speaking text on the market. It’s efficient, well organized, and easy for students and instructors to use.”

“The Speaker’s Handbook is a compact, well-organized text that students find very readable and very usable. The format is user-friendly, and tabbed section dividers facilitate location of information. The text clearly presents communication theory and its applications in both academic and professional settings.”

Product Description

THE SPEAKER’S HANDBOOK is an excellent textbook for students in a public speaking course, as well as a practical reference for the independent speaker. Its thorough coverage addresses public speaking fundamentals such as planning, listening, and presentation aids, yet each topic can stand alone, giving readers a convenient reference even when they can’t read the entire text. Forward-thinking new coauthor David Bodary joins Jo Sprague and Doug Stuart in this ninth edition of THE SPEAKER’S HANDBOOK to engage students in active learning beyond the classroom.

27 Feb 10 Managerial Accounting for Managers

book synopsis and reviews

“Managerial Accounting for Managers, 1/e” by Noreen/Brewer/Garrison is based on the market-leading text, “Managerial Accounting”, by Garrison, Noreen and Brewer. The Noreen book was created to serve customers who do not wish to teach the financial accounting-oriented content that is included in the Garrison book. Of our three books (the Brewer book, the Garrison book, and the Noreen book), the Noreen book is the most pure management accounting textbook. The other two books have greater amounts of financial accounting content. “N/B/G, 1e” is geared towards professors who love Garrison’s market-leading managerial accounting content, but have been bothered by the debits and credits included in the book.It includes the same great coverage of managerial accounting topics such as relevant costs for decision making, capital budgeting decisions, and segment reporting and decentralization without the journal entries. The job-order costing chapter has been extensively rewritten to remove all journal entries. There is not one journal entry included in the entire book. Furthermore, the chapters dealing with process costing, the statement of cash flows, and financial statement analysis have been dropped to enable professors to focus their attention on the bedrocks of managerial accounting – planning, control, and decision making. It is important to emphasize that the same great content from Garrison is included in Noreen.More specifically, the following chapters/appendices are exactly the same in the two books: Managerial Accounting and the Business Environment; Cost Terms, Concepts, and Classifications (the appendices have been dropped); Cost Behavior – Analysis and Use; Cost-Volume-Profit Relationships; Variable Costing – A Tool for Management; Activity-Based Costing – A Tool to Aid Decision Making (one of two appendices was dropped); Profit Planning; Standard Costs and the Balanced Scorecard (the appendix was dropped); Relevant Costs for Decision Making; and, Capital Budgeting Decisions. The Appendices that have been duplicated for this book are Pricing Appendix, and Profitability Appendix.
