Cost
Accounting provides a practical knowledge of systems and procedures and will
prepare students for many of the career opportunities available in cost
accounting. The text opens by giving students an overview of the nature and
purpose of cost accounting. Building on these notions students will then learn
the basic concept that cost flow matches work flow. Afterward students are led
throughout the major areas of cost accounting: job order cost accounting,
process cost accounting, budgeting, standard costs, direct costing, and
non-manufacturing costs. Each new segment of instruction is carefully explained
and illustrated. A summary at the end of each chapter reviews the basic
principles and procedures covered. Questions which require review and/or
managerial analysis, along with application activities in the form of exercises,
problems, alternate problems, Excel problems, and cases help students integrate
their learning while everything is fresh in their minds. (From publisher)

Book of the Month
Ghost Wars
The Secret History of the CIA, Afghanistan, and Bin Laden, from the Soviet
Invasion to September 10, 2001
by
Steve Coll
Pulitzer
Prize-winner Coll provides the only comprehensive account to date of the secret
history of the CIA’s role in Afghanistan, including its covert program against
Soviet troops from 1979 to 1989, and examines the rise of the Taliban, the
emergence of bin Laden, and the secret efforts by CIA officers and their agents
to capture or kill Bin Laden in Afghanistan after 1998. Based on extensive
firsthand accounts, Ghost Wars is the inside story that goes well beyond
anything previously published on U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, chronicling
the roles of midlevel CIA officers, their Afghan allies, and such top spy
masters as Bill Casey, Saudi Arabia’s Prince Turki al Faisal, and George Tenet;
heated debates within the American government; and the often poisonous,
mistrustful relations between the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies. (From
