Filled with colorful characters and history, Double Entry takes us from the ancient origins of accounting in Mesopotamia to the frontiers of modern finance. At the heart of the story is double-entry bookkeeping: the first system that allowed merchants to actually measure the worth of their businesses. Luca Pacioli monk, mathematician, alchemist, and friend of Leonardo da Vinci incorporated Arabic mathematics to formulate a system that could work across all trades and nations. As Jane Gleeson-White reveals, double-entry accounting was nothing short of revolutionary: it fueled the Renaissance, enabled capitalism to flourish, and created the global economy. John Maynard Keynes would use it to calculate GDP, the measure of a nation s wealth. Yet double-entry accounting has had its failures. With the costs of sudden corporate collapses such as Enron and Lehman Brothers, and its disregard of environmental and human costs, the time may have come to re-create it for the future."Binding Type: Paperback

Incredible job very thorough
Format: Paperback
It's been 20 years since I took my FP-C exam at the Air Medical transport conference in Reno 2003. I was fortunate enough to take Lori Montanez's 12 hour review prior and to have the study guide she published. I still have that guide and it was great. You all who put this together did an incredible job in every way . It could no be better. The text the pictures everything perfect. I'm proud of you for doing such a great and professional job. Everyone should have a copy of this book either for exam prep and for regular review following their completion. Thank you.

Follows the IA Med Course
Format: Paperback
I bought this as I am completing the IA-Med 2.0 Flight Medical Provider. Overall I am happy with the book. It follows the course, but there are some of the quiz questions at the end of the sections that aren't printed in the book.
