      Book Description

      This text helps students hit the road with a practical set of tools, and the confidence they need to use those tools effectively in making business decisions. The goal is to introduce a new Principles of Accounting text that better reflects a more conceptual and decision-making approach to the material.
      The authors have taken a new "macro- to micro-" approach to the Principles of Accounting course by starting with a discussion of real financial statements first, rather than starting with the Accounting Cycle (although the Accounting Cycle is thoroughly covered in Chapters 3 and 4). The objective is to establish how a financial statement communicates the financing, investing, and operating activities of a business to users of accounting information. They motivate students by grounding the discussion in the real world, showing them the relevance of the topics covered to their future career.

              5 out of 5 stars The most balanced treatment of a most misunderstood issue........2003-01-17

              This book is arguably the most balanced treatment of one of the most poorly understood issues in contemporary American public policy. I read it when it first came out in 1996, and I feel that I a much better informed citizen on affirmative action as a result. This books is a collection of essays that present all sides of the debate on affirmative action from well-known scholars, businessmen, political and civic leaders. It dispels many of the misconceptions of the policy while highlighting its inherent flaws, explains the goals of the policy in its intended form, and includes two all but forgotten perspectives - that of women and Asian-Americans.

              A very good and easy read, anyone with a desire to have as broad an understanding as possible on affirmative should buy and read this book.

              1 out of 5 stars The title alone gives offense.......2000-10-14

              I have never given a one-star review, I am not unsympathetic to the emotions behind the pro-affirmative action side, but the title of this book infuriates me.

              It is, in no stretch of the definition, a "debate" -- and it is intellectually offensive for the editors to attempt to pass it off as one. It is, instead, an almost entirely one-sided, exceedingly-pro-affirmative action screed.

              Many of the essays in the book have merit; some are even persuasive. Yet the philosophical blinders evidenced in the gross partisanship of this book are THE most telling part of the story.

              Don't you get it? This is why the pro-affirmative action side is doomed to eventual failure, after much (unnecessary) flailing...there is an *assumption* that this program is (now) an absolute minimum for social justice, and anyone who disagrees is, almost as a definitional precept: A Racist. The dangers are foreboding, and I'm not sure how our leaders are going to learn how to back down.

              I am, in a way, African Americans' worst nightmare: I am white, male, socially very liberal, fiscally very conservative, and I'm growing tired of the constant attacks based solely on one-dimensional characteristics. I hope -- I truly do -- that African Americans will wake up and stop blaming everyone else for their ills. Yes, slavery was awful. Yet it was a fact of life, everywhere in the world (and still is, to this day, a fact of life in parts of the Middle East and Africa). Yes, the deprivations of modern day urban life are debilitating. But so they were for tens of millions of immigrants who moved on.

              Get over it.

              This is, I know, harsh. Yet it is also Tough Love. Both parts are crucial, as elder African Americans know. Move on, and move up. Stop asking for anything and everything -- and start demanding of yourself. Work twice as hard, and I will fight along side you to protect what you EARN. Keep whining about what is owed to you, and many, MANY will begin to grow tired of the endless complaining. Legitimate or not, it (the whining) is cancerous.

              The better path for African Americans is education (academic and vocational) and ENTREPRENEURSHIP. This latter path, sadly lost to history, should be THE central focus of all leaders, today.

              This is a warning. I hope I am wrong, but I fear I am not. I too have a dream: I hope the pseudo-philosophical screeching on either side subsides, and cooler (and more earnest) heads and hearts prevail.

              Please, all, let's change our ways.

              5 out of 5 stars Really want to understand the issue? Read this book.......2000-09-12

              This publication does an excellent job of addressing this most sensitive and complex issue from all sides (liberal, conservative, ignorant), clarifying its legal, political and social significance. It should be manadatory reading, especially for all journalists in this country, whose botched -- essentially useless -- coverage shows how unfamiliar many really are with affirmative-action realities. "Debate" addresses court decisions, executive orders and legislation involving employment, education and government contracting. And thankfully it's well-organized enough so that readers truly open to understanding the issue are easily able to discern the incendiary rhetoric and willfully blind misinformation of the William Bradford Reynolds and Linda Chavezes from the thoughtful and rational analyses of Civil Rights Commission Chairperson Mary Frances Berry and pollster Lou Harris. It sheds light on nonrace-based forms of affirmative action that opponents don't like to talk about -- like so-called "legacies" in education (relatives of alumni). It discusses who actually benefits most from affirmative action -- white women. Whether you support or oppose these programs, if you honestly want to understand the issue, read this book.

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent and balanced collection of essays........2000-04-10

              This book contains an excellent collection of essays by some of the greatest minds of this generation, including Cornel West, Manning Marable, and many others. I would recommend this book solely for the purpose of reading a copy of Lydon B. Johnson's commencement address at Howard University in 1965. Overall an excellent, and fair collection which should cause individuals on either side of this issue to reexamine their respective position on this debate.

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent source of a variety of views on this issue........2000-03-30

              I purchased this book as an individual who was undecided about this issue, although with a leaning toward viewing affirmative action programs with strict scrutiny. In my opinion this book provided a well rounded and fair presentation of this issue. I found it to be an excellent source of information and arguments written by some truly great minds, co-editor Cornel West the most prominent among them. I would highly recommend this book to everyone with an open mind who wishes to gain greater insight and more information on this issue. While I am still undecided on this issue, I know I am much better informed, and better for that.

                Book Description

                Racial preferences are among the most contentious issues in our society, touching on fundamental questions of fairness and the proper role of racial categories in government action. Now two contemporary philosophers, in a lively debate, lay out the arguments on each side. Carl Cohen, a key figure in the University of Michigan Supreme Court cases, argues that racial preferences are morally wrong--forbidden by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, and explicitly banned by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also contends that such preferences harm society in general, damage the universities that use them, and undermine the minorities they were intended to serve. James P. Sterba counters that, far from being banned by the Constitution and the civil rights acts, affirmative action is actually mandated by law in the pursuit of a society that is racially and sexually just. The same Congress that adopted the 14th Amendment, he notes, passed race-specific laws that extended aid to blacks. Indeed, there are various kinds of affirmative action--compensation for past discrimination, remedial measures aimed at current discrimination, the guarantee of diversity--and Sterba reviews the Supreme Court cases that build a constitutional foundation for each. Affirmative action, he argues, favors qualified minority candidates, not unqualified ones. Both authors offer concluding comment on the University of Michigan cases decided in 2003. Half a century after Brown v. Board of Education, issues pertaining to racial discrimination continue to grip American society. This penetrating debate explores the philosophical and legal arguments on all sides of affirmative action, but also reveals the passions that drive the issue to the forefront of public life.

                3 out of 5 stars Affirmative Discrimination A.K.A. Racist Action.......2004-03-03

                This book is an informative collection of essays debating the application of Affirmative Action in America.However it is amazing that many Americans support such an abhorent practice of violating individual human rights,as expressed in this work.
                Applying a system which restricts access to wealth and opportuinity to racial and gender based criteria is a form a social engineering that is tantamount to that favoured by the NAZIS and the Stalinist Empire in the 1930's. However,as insidious as the the application of Affirmative Discrimination is in the US, it pales in comparison to what is currently being perpetrated in South Africa.For every white male job applicant in South Africa there are approximately twenty to fifty black applicants (yes a black majority!), yet it is the minority which legislation enforces discrimination against.Proponents of Affirmative Action would argue that it is minorities which need and deserve protection - how is it then that Affirmative Action is always designed to benefit a particular race group, and specifically designed to discriminate against white males - no matter their individual circumstances?!
                In South Africa defenceless white males are prevented by legislation from receiving equal access to wealth, opportuinity, tertiary education and training - all justified by the ANC governments' racial engineering strategy.AA selection criteria result in many meritous white applicants being arbritarily rejected, nevermind their academic qualifications, experience or socio-economic status.Instead of ensuring that all meritous applicants, regardless of race, be allowed an equal chance to compete, non-meritous black applicants are given preference over skilled white applicants - pure racial engineering. In South Africa the ANC uses demographic and occupational statistics in an attempt to justify its' heinous racial engineering agenda.The strategy being pursued by the racist ANC regime demands that the majority of skilled positions available in the economy be occupied by blacks, and imposes substantial financial penalties, and refuses lucrative government tenders, to those organisations who fail to comply speedily enough.This effectively dooms an entire generation of young, white South African males to a future of poverty, regardless of their educational level.This is tantamount to ethnic cleansing and ethnic cleansing is Genocide. This, not crime, is the primary reason for the brain drain from South Africa as many white males would otherwise be reduced to the level of beggars.
                Affirmative Action is a Gross Human Rights Violation and must be declared a Crime Against Humanity.

                Applying a system which restricts access to wealth and opportuinity to racial and gender based criteria is a form a social engineering that is tantamount to that favoured by the NAZIS and the Stalinist Empire in the 1930's. However,as insidious as the the application of Affirmative Discrimination is in the US, it pales in comparison to what is currently being perpetrated in South Africa.For every white male job applicant in South Africa there are approximately twenty to fifty black applicants (yes a black majority!), yet it is the minority which legislation enforces discrimination against.Proponents of Affirmative Action would argue that it is minorities which need and deserve protection - how is it then that Affirmative Action is always designed to benefit a particular race group, and specifically designed to discriminate against white males specifically - no matter what their individual circumstances.
                In South Africa defenceless white males are prevented by legisaltion from receiving equal access to wealth, opportuinity, tertiary education and training - all justified by the ANC governments' racial engineering strategy.The silence of the Western media on this matter(particularly the BBC)borders on the criminal.(The ANC controlled media does not deserve mention as it is merely a propaganda engine.)
                AA selection criteria result many meritous white applicants being arbritarily rejected, nevermind their academic qualifications, experience or socio-economic status.Instead of ensuring that all meritous applicants, regardless of race, be allowed an equal chance to compete, non-meritous black applicants were given preference over skilled white applicants - pure racial engineering. In South Africa the ANC uses demographic and occupational statistics in an attempt to justify its' heinous racial engineering agenda.The strategy being pursued by the racist ANC regime demands that the majority of skilled positions available in the economy be occupied by blacks, and imposes substantial financial penalties, and refuses lucrative government tenders, to those organisations who fail to comply speedily enough.This effectively dooms an entire generation of young, white South African males to a future of poverty, regardless of their educational level.This is tantamount to ethnic cleansing and ethnic cleansing is Genocide. This, not crime, is the primary reason for the brain drain from South Africa as many white males would otherwise be reduced to the level of beggars.
                Affirmative Action is a Gross Human Rights Violation and must be declared a Crime Against Humanity.
                It goes without saying that its' victims should be paid substantial reparations for the economic, psychological and emotional trauma they suffered by having their basic human rights violated by Nazis style social engineering.

                5 out of 5 stars Clueless in Seattle.......2000-09-25

                Beckwith and Jones perform an excellent service by admitting to the difficulty of this important issue by sharing intelligent observations from both sides of the table. "Reader in Seattle" is just another clueless woman whose ignorant comments admit to her bigotry.

                Intelligent, open-minded readers will enjoy this collection.

                5 out of 5 stars Not useful to those of us combatting sexism and racism.......1999-07-31

                Gender, race, and class are what A.A. addresses, not the hurt feelings of a few clueless white males. As a feminist who happens to be a white Woman, I'm challenging the paradigms of gender and race imposed upon us by elitist white males. As a graduate of Stanford, I renew my committment to fighting those people who would take diversity away from our campuses, not just in California but everywhere. Let's rememeber then, someday white males will need Affirmative Action!!!!

                    Book Description

                    The Hidden Debate is a fresh and cutting-edge comparative analysis of the ongoing and highly charged social conflict over affirmative action in South Africa and the United States. The debate over affirmative action has raged for over 30 years in the United States and since the early 1990s in South Africa with minimal agreement or resolution. In part this discord remains because scholars, journalists, politicians, and other social analysts have failed to properly specify and examine the problem.

                    In The Hidden Debate, Dr. Khalfani develops the shell/core embedded conflict theory, a new theoretical approach to understanding social conflict, which argues that public debates over policy issues like affirmative action are at a stasis because the debating parties are not directly debating the true sources of the social conflict. These debaters are only engaged in a discourse at the surface of the issue. This is the shell debate. The core debate is indirectly addressed, at best. The conflict at the core level is over divergent interpretations of the core societal principles of liberty, equality, and justice. We examine these principles extensively using philosophical analysis to articulate how individuals or groups come to understand and attain core principles.

                    The Hidden Debate demonstrates that different populations, primarily African-origin and European-origin populations, interpret and view core societal principles differently and that these divergences represent the core conflict over the implementation of affirmative action policies and programs, and that these divergences are intimately linked to the racialized histories and legacies of these populations and countries.

                    5 out of 5 stars A Theory that Could be Applied to Many Problems.......2006-04-13

                    The Shell-Core Embedded Conflict Theory as developed by Dr. Khalfani talks of looking at the surface or shell of a problem while ignoring the core of the problem. He has applied this theory to the problems of race and affirmative action in the United States and in South Africa. The problems cannot be resolved until all parties are at least talking the same language. On the one hand there is the ability to go to an integrated school, on the other is a full integration of liberty, equality and justice.

                    I find that I have two comments on the book and its thesis.

                    One is that the book reflects South Africa as it is today. The transition to a black controlled government has been remarkably smooth. Yet there are signs that serious trouble may lie ahead. There exists the possibility that a black leader similiar to those in other countries in Africa might gain control of South Africa. This could lead to the expulsion of the whites and the deterioration of the society as it exists today. There is certainly a trend in the black politicians to appeal to the radical element in the black community. This would make a mockery of any attempt at affirmative action.

                    Dr. Khalfani is a specialist in racial problems. In this book he has applied his theory to racial problems. It would be most interesting to see his theories applied to other problems such as illegal drugs. In the case of drugs we treat the symptoms by trying to prevent supply and ignore the core problem that there is a demand that is being supplied.

                    5 out of 5 stars Extensive research and facts.......2005-12-08

                    The author does an excellent job of reframing the affirmative action debate into one about liberty, equality and justice. He talks about solving social problems with a wholistic approach as opposed to the limited discussions that result when you talk about affirmative action. I appreciated the comparison to how this issue is being approached in South Africa.

                    5 out of 5 stars Great study, enlightening, lots of facts..........2005-12-06

                    The book description gives an excellent summary of the book contents and needs not be repeated here. The author does a terrific job of laying down his theory (the need to dig deep below the surface of things as opposed to the too-common lip service approach) and defining what the goals of affirmative action should be. The comparison of how this is being addressed on separate continents is a great illustration of the theory. The theory should be of use elsewhere where similar situations have received little to no attention. The study is very analytical and well balanced, comparing different approaches and theories, stating pros & cons / strength and weaknesses of each. The whole research is backed up by tons of facts and references.

                      Product Description

                      The Affirmative Action Debate collects the leading voices on all sides of this crucial dialogue. A provocative range of politicians, researchers, legal experts, and businesspeople dispute the best way to fight discrimination. Their essays explore such questions as, How did affirmative-action policies come to be? Who benefits most from them, and who suffers? How do these programs work in hiring, contracting, college admissions, and other fields? What will recent Supreme Court rulings and legislative initiatives mean? And, most fundamentally, does any race-conscious remedy simply perpetuate discrimination? Recognizing affirmative action as more than a black-and-white issue, this book includes the voices of women, Latinos, and Asian-Americans who are also affected but often ignored. A sourcebook of solid facts and surprising arguments.
