As a boy delivering newspapers after school, author John L. Moore once found a copy of Playboy magazine on the grass beside the sidewalk. In "Skunks, Nuts, and Other Stories," he details the dilemma that picking up the magazine created for him. Moore's collection of two dozen yarns told by and about members of his extended family reveal the humor, sadness, heroism, resourcefulness, and resiliency that his family members experienced in dealing with the world around them. Without meaning to, they sometimes took part in historic events and had chance encounters with famous people. Its real-life characters include an aging Vietnam veteran who refuses to forget his long-dead comrades; an uncle telling about his great-grandfather's Civil War trophies; a teenage girl selling cookies to buy groceries for her younger siblings during the Depression; and a father who plays Santa Claus for his son's Kindergarten class.

Ripped from the headlines, "Deadline for Murder," tells the story of John Kendrick, a prominent Beverly Hills defense attorney who is discovered shot to death, gangland-style inside his Cadillac sedan. LAPD'S Homicide Detective Joe Kellermann, is assigned to investigate the case. Initially suspected as a Mob hit, the detective soon finds himself immersed in a web of suspects including Kendrick's wife, his law partner, a felon accused of rape and a rogue cop. The case covers lust, jealousy, greed, infidelity and lies, just to name a few. It brings home the fact we never really quite know everything about the people around us... Evans' detectives are authentic; their characters are well-developed and have flaws that help make them feel real. His writing style is taut and well-suited for the genre, and his plot is an exciting one. Deadline for Murder is highly recommended. 5-Stars. Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite.

Practice-Informed Accounting Research

Practice-Informed Accounting Research

Now Publishers Inc
2024
nidottu
In an era where academic research faces scrutiny for its value to the business world, Practice-Informed Accounting Research delves into the intersection of accounting research and practical application. By exploring the relationship between macroeconomic events and financial disclosures from the mid-1990s to 2020, the authors examine how disclosures help predict firm performance amidst market booms and busts. The monograph focuses on two significant cycles: the dotcom bubble and the 2008 financial crisis, and the post-crisis digital transformation era, including the impact of emerging technologies and global events like COVID-19. The research highlights the evolving role of financial reporting in shaping investor decisions and regulatory actions. The authors, drawing on their own extensive industry experience, offer guidance for young researchers on obtaining relevant institutional knowledge, while advocating for practice-informed research that remains grounded in evidence, unclouded by advocacy, to better understand the complex dynamics of financial accounting and disclosure in a changing economic landscape.
