J. R. Edwards & H. J. Mellett INTRODUCTION TO ACCOUNTING PCP (London, 1989). 488 pp. Al2.95 (pbk)
A traditional (and exclusively historic cost-based) approach to first-year degree courses, and lower level professional exams. However, I would have hoped for a much more conceptual and questioning attitude for the former and I suspect a shortage of ‘coal-face’ work for the latter. More emphasis than usual on the relationship between profit and change in capital, and a couple of chapters at the end are on decision making and computers in accounting. Within its limitations, it is clearly written and easy to read.
R. A. Musgravc & P. B. Marshall PUBLIC FINANCE IN THEORY AND PRACTICE McGraw-Hill (London, 1989). 5th edn. 627 pp. Al3.95 (pbk)
The fifth edition of a standard American text. Probably too tied to the US system to be of much interest to the UK student, except for the relatively small proportion given over to theory.
