Book Description
Praise for Financial Statement Analysis A Practitioner's Guide Third Edition "This is an illuminating and insightful tour of financial statements, how they can be used to inform, how they can be used to mislead, and how they can be used to analyze the financial health of a company." -Professor Jay O. Light Harvard Business School "Financial Statement Analysis should be required reading for anyone who puts a dime to work in the securities markets or recommends that others do the same." -Jack L. Rivkin Executive Vice President (retired) Citigroup Investments "Fridson and Alvarez provide a valuable practical guide for understanding, interpreting, and critically assessing financial reports put out by firms. Their discussion of profits-'quality of earnings'-is particularly insightful given the recent spate of reporting problems encountered by firms. I highly recommend their book to anyone interested in getting behind the numbers as a means of predicting future profits and stock prices." -Paul Brown Chair-Department of Accounting Leonard N. Stern School of Business, NYU "Let this book assist in financial awareness and transparency and higher standards of reporting, and accountability to all stakeholders." -Patricia A. Small Treasurer Emeritus, University of California Partner, KCM Investment Advisors "This book is a polished gem covering the analysis of financial statements. It is thorough, skeptical and extremely practical in its review." -Daniel J. Fuss Vice Chairman Loomis, Sayles & Company, LP

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ...It may be argued on the other hand that the barracks and docks and other buildings and plant thus paid for out of capital last for manY i years, and that therefore it is more reasonable to spread the cost over a considerable period instead of charging it 4 all to one year. This would be a very good reason if these ' works were of an altogether exceptional character. But as a matter of fact the British Government has always to be building docks and barracks; it has always to be laying fresh telegraph wires, to be enlarging post oflices, law courts, and prisons. If the Government were run as a commercial concern all these forms of outlay would properly be treated as capital expenditure, and charged to capital account, and Would gradually be written ofl by successive depreciations. It is, however, impossible to treat all the departments of the Government as commercial businesses. The Post Office might indeed be so treated with great advantage to the country, but this would necessitate the complete separation of Post Ofiice accounts and administration from the other departments of the Government. Such services as those rendered by the Law Courts, by the Home Office, the Board of Trade, the Loflfll Government Board, and by the Army and Navy, cannot be judged by ordinary commercial standards. They must be treated as the head of ahousehold treats the various items of his domestic expenditure. He considers how much he can afford for the various needs of the house, and satisfies first those which are most imperative, buying one year a new carpet, another Year 3 new piano, and so on. He does not sit down and calculate that the ca1'Pet will last him so many years, and that therefore he can raise aloan to pay for it and wipe off the loan by 8-Series...
Heiresses

Pages : 249
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Laura Thompson returns with Heiresses, a fascinating look at the lives of heiresses throughout history and the often tragic truth beneath the gilded surface. Heiresses: surely they are among the luckiest women on earth. Are they not to be envied, with their private jets and Chanel wardrobes and endless funds? Yet all too often those gilded lives have been beset with trauma and despair. Before the 20th century a wife’s inheritance was the property of her husband, making her vulnerable to kidnap, forced marriages, even confinement in an asylum. And in modern times, heiresses fell victim to fortune-hunters who squandered their millions. Heiresses tells the stories of these million dollar babies: Mary Davies, who inherited London’s most valuable real estate, and was bartered from the age of twelve; Consuelo Vanderbilt, the original American “Dollar Heiress”, forced into a loveless marriage; Barbara Hutton, the Woolworth heiress who married seven times and died almost penniless; and Patty Hearst, heiress to a newspaper fortune who was arrested for terrorism. However, there are also stories of independence and achievement: Angela Burdett-Coutts, who became one of the greatest philanthropists of Victorian England; Nancy Cunard, who lived off her mother's fortune and became a pioneer of the civil rights movement; and Daisy Fellowes, elegant linchpin of interwar high society and noted fashion editor. Heiresses is about the lives of the rich, who—as F. Scott Fitzgerald said—are ‘different’. But it is also a bigger story about how all women fought their way to equality, and sometimes even found autonomy and fulfillment.
