Financial Accounting Exam Questions and Explanations: Exam Questions and Explanations (Gleim Knowledge Transfer Systems)
Published in Paperback by Gleim Publications (July, 1999)
Authors: Irvin N. Gleim, William Arthur Collins, and Grady M. Irwin
Average review score:

Great Book
This book is great! The questions are very helpful and relate well to the chapters in my intermediate textbook. The explanations to the correct answers are also very helpful when you get a question wrong. The CPA exam questions used in the book are challenging, but are a good preparation for the CPA exam. Also, the many professors like to use questions directly from this book, for their exams!

Published in Hardcover by McGraw-Hill/Irwin (March, 1998)
Authors: Roger H. Hermanson and James Don Edwards
Average review score:

Thorough, clean explanations
Financial Accounting is a difficult subject and Hermanson and Edwards do a very good job at bringing it down to the "understandable" level. They offer a multitude of ways to learn subject matter: from text, to graphs, to problems, to internet research (with web sites to visit) to real-world examples.

Good Guidance for a divorce settlement
I found this book very helpful in understanding the issues and 'gotchas' to the financial aspects of a divorce settlement. I followed much of the advice given and it really helped me create a fair settlement through a difficult and messy divorce. I'm three years post divorce now and still feel very positive about the results.

Marvelous Resource
I'm so respectful to the author! As the title suggests, this is a reference guide to Flannery O'Connor's criticism. More than 2,700, from published books to master theses (including foreign ones), are listed with annotations, each of which is very clear and helpful. There are also indexes, and we can find what we're looking for by author's names and subjects. I really thank the Internet technology for bringing me this great book!


Forecasting Systems for Operations Management (The Business One Irwin/Apics Series in Production Management)
Published in Hardcover by Irwin Professional Pub (July, 1991)
Authors: Stephen Delurgio and Carl Bhame
Average review score:

Excellent Book on Forecasting Systems
The authors provide a very useful and concise description and explanation of various forecasting systems that may be used to develop simple to very sophisticated methods of predicting the movement of materials or goods in many situations. Althought the discussion is mathematically complete, it is understandable and useful to the non-mathematician. Sufficient detail is provided, along with realistic examples, to allow the design of conputer-aided ordering systems, retail sales management systems, or computerized prediction programs.

This text was used as a primary reference and sourcebook in the design, testing, and implementation of a grocery and perishable item ordering algorithm software upgrade


Fundamentalism: Hazards and Heartbreaks
Published in Hardcover by Open Court Publishing Company (December, 1988)
Authors: Rod L. Evans, Irwin M. Berent, and Isaac Asimov
Average review score:

A rationalist critique of Biblical Inerrancy
Mr. Evans is a philosopher and Mr. Berent is an historian. Together they wrote this book a decade and a half ago to address hazards inherent in Christian "fundamentalism." More specifically to address the issue of biblical inerrancy. A fundamentalist is described as someone who maintains "that respect for the Bible requires the belief that it is inerrant, that is, free from error of every sort. Holding that belief, most but not all people who call themselves 'fundamentalists' often view the Bible as representing the very Word of God, dictated to writers who were Divinely preserved from error.... Doubts about the truth of any Biblical claim are seen as immoral if not Satanic" (p. xviii). The authors do not clearly distinguish between those who would consider the Bible as inerrant within the confines of each text's literary type and intended purpose and those who would hold all texts inerrant in a literalist dictation fashion. Either group, however, would find this book challenging their view of the Bible.

The major focus of this book is to show that the Bible is not infallible but affected by historical and cultural limitations in wisdom and knowledge. The authors maintain that "this book is written not to discourage either faith in God or reverence for the Bible." In fact the authors claim, "we are not 'secular humanists', nor are we 'fanatical liberals.' We believe in God and love the Bible. Our chief purpose in writing this book is to further the pursuit of truth..." (xviii). Later they maintain that "God has, indeed, provided mankind with an excellent source of inspiration and guidance in the form of the Bible" (p.30). Yet, what exactly they believe about God is never clarified nor what they consider excellent about the Bible. In fact their pursuit of truth is such that two noted atheists, Steve Allen and Isaac Asimov, can compliment the book with a forward and introduction respectively.

The book is divided into twelve chapters, an appendix, and some suggested readings. The chapters include: a presentation of the claims of some former fundamentalists (members of Fundamentalists Anonymous) that their religious instruction led to views that caused psychological trauma; a presentation of relevant teachings from evangelists Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell; five chapters pointing out "particular implausibilities or inconsistencies" in Scripture that arise when approached as inerrant; a chapter on conjectured historical influences on biblical authors; and finally a chapter (at four pages, tied for shortest with the first on what is a fundamentalist?) on "Unlocking the Wisdom of the Bible." The latter, by the way, gives no insights from Scripture but is simply a concluding call for "genuine questioning" of the Bible so as to recognize the misguided nature of viewing "the Bible as 'perfect' or 'inerrant'..."in order to make the wisest possible use" of it.

For the authors the Bible is very much a fallible book. It contains a pre-scientific cosmology and endorses some archaic moral positions that violate justice and decency. Even Jesus, while having some admirable traits, is portrayed in the Gospels "at times as narrow-minded, vindictive, discourteous, ethnocentric, and even hypocritical" (p.60). What, then, is the value of this book? Well, for those with an axe to grind against Judaism or Christianity it can supply lots of ammunition and leave them feeling intellectually and morally superior. For the "fundamentalist," for whom the book is intended, it might instigate a serious reappraisal of any smug or simplistic view of biblical inerrancy and interpretation. The authors' comparatively polite manner can have the effect of being hit by a mace under a crocheted wool cover. Sadly, I think the book's readership more likely to be of the former type rather than the latter. People tend to read according to their predilection. I would definitely not recommend it for those of fragile faith. But for those open to critical inquiry it is a very good critique of Scripture from a rationalist perspective.


Geometry of the Rear End
Published in Paperback by Aventine Press (December, 2002)
Author: J. E. Irwin
Average review score:

A Master of the Letters is Upon Us!
In my lonely hamlet I read the divine profundity that Geometry of the Rear End has brought to the world. I realize God has
touched the pen of one Mr.Irwin. Also, his hindquarters are without equal. I gasp. I cry. O the multiple truths beyond the sun of intelligence and a great backside!

Inexplicably, his odyssey to expose the largess of his slutdom to his muse and his dental hygeinistis is stilted. This does
not bode well for planned sexual escapades so shattering and prolific that he will be eventually rendered tone deaf by the feminine howls of bliss. Sadly, his hearing remains better than ever.

Carry on with the inspired pen, young troubadour, as I continue my libretto in your honor, could you make my bail, just
one more time?

My love, like the sea, covers the earth, the stars,
the fog evaporated...

God be with you John E. Irwin!


The Gnostic Tarot: Mandalas for Spiritual Transformation
Published in Paperback by Red Wheel/Weiser (October, 1998)
Author: Lee Irwin
Average review score:

Inspirational
This book is a treasure for those who use the tarot for meditation or for personal spirituality. The Gnostic viewpoint on each card is well written, and the general information is good as well. It is a shame that there is not a Gnostic deck to go with this book, but perhaps there is one in the works. The use of the Ravenwood Eastern deck with it seems shallow.


Goodbye Mother, Hello Woman: Reweaving the Daughter Mother Relationship
Published in Paperback by New Harbinger Pubns (September, 1995)
Authors: Marilyn Irwin Boynton and Mary Dell
Average review score:

An eye-opening description of my relationship with Mom.
I picked up this book because I loved the cover. What I found inside was a notion I had not wanted to face -- that I was still tied to my mother, letting her guide my life. And she's been dead for 20 years. So far, I have worked through the first half of the book and already I am beginning to feel something about myself that I haven't felt in many years -- that I have some value. I weep as I write this, but now I know that I need to bid farewell to my mother and remove her from steering my life. Thank you, Marilyn and Mary for writing this book.
