1.The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Investors and Managers, Revised Edition by: L. A. Cunningham April 09, 2002

Too many books contain the word Buffett in their title but only this book comes from the annual letters to shareholders. Truly authentic Buffett in his own words is much better just because he dosen't need any interpretation. Domenico De Salvo

This book is well written and fairly easy to understand, so it is a rather useful text to help the university student through the exams.

3.Frank Wood's Business Accounting: v. 1 by: Frank Wood, Alan Sangster April 17, 2008

I have just begun my first year studying Accounting and Finance at university and have found the subject of Financial Accounting extremely difficult. Thanks to this book I am finding my own learning and revision periods are much easier and I am now understanding concepts which I hadnt a clue about in lectures! Thank you to the authors! One tiny issue with the book is that sometimes the double entry questions and examples used are not complex enough for what is needed at my level. Apart from that I recommend this book highly!

I want to agree with the previous, rather brief reviewer who found this book to be somewhat complicated. While it certainly IS very comprehensive (as in it covers all you want to know, plus more), the manner in which the material is presented at times comes accross overly technical and complicated - especially for the novice. Furthermore, the layout, while visually appealing, doesn't seem thought through properly. Much too often, the text discusses key concepts by refering to example-boxes which, for some reason, are inconveniently printed pages away from the complementing text. This often disrupts the learning flow and thus may hinder (easy) comprehension of even the most basic concepts such as standard overhead absorption costing, ... Read More:

5.Accounting for Non-Accounting Students by: John R. Dyson May 03, 2007

I purchased this book on the recommendation of a co-worker (fully qualified accountant) who used the third edition while at uni. She was spot on when she told me that it is a great help to those students who come from a non-accounting background. (i.e. no A levels in accounting). The layout is easy to follow, great self tests along the way, case studies, real world relevent news articles and even an online site with further tests.

I disagree with the other reviews. It's title says it all. The book covered a four week segment of an on-line course I am doing. To me it covers all of the areas in an informative and understandable way. It is not intended to be a bookeepers bible therefore does not go into detail of "T" accounts. Combined with good teaching, research and discussion it will certainly enable non-accountants to get a grasp of the subjects of accounting and finance.

For those people like myself who are training to do the CIMA foundation stage this is an excellent book on accountancy. I found my problem with learning accountancy was that it is not based on common sense but accounting concepts which you must understand before you can develop proficiency in double entry and develop a good knowledge of month end accounting. Furthermore, analysis of the main financial staments BS and P&L also requires a good grounding in double entry and a thorough knowledge of the four main concepts in SSAP2. This book makes a dull subject bearable by contextualising accountancy allowing readers to apply the concepts in real life and also provides a conceptual framework to guide their judgements when they are ...

10.Essential Quantitative Methods for Business, Management and Finance by: L.A. Oakshott January 27, 2006

I used this book as the required textbook for an Introductory course on Quantitative Methods for Management at the Master's level. It has the benefit of being brief, inexpensive, and covers both mathematics and statistics, which few books of this type do. In the end this book may work better for people who have already had some exposure to this material and who simply need a "refresher". For those students who have very little quantitative background, it may be too brief. A more comprehensive book is probably be more appropriate in this case. The students complained about numerous small mistakes, which, with luck, have been removed in the second edition.
