"Accounting: What the Numbers Mean, 6e", by Marshall/McManus/Viele is written to meet the needs of those students who will not be accountants, but who do need to understand accounting, the language of business, in order to effectively participate in activities such as planning, control, and decision-making. Marshall takes readers through the basics: what accounting information is, what it means, and how it is used. In using this text, students examine financial statements and discover what they do and do not communicate. This enables them to gain the crucial decision-making and problem-solving skills they need in order to succeed in a professional environment.

poorly organized,
This review is from: Accounting: What the Numbers Mean with Student Study Resource, PowerWeb & NetTutor Package (Hardcover)
The book looks great, but when you begin to study it, you realize that it is poorly constructed. For example, the study guide that accompanies the book gives the answers to every other problem, which is nice. The problem is that the answers are for the easier of the two questions (the book is constructed so that every two questions are similar). So when you are trying to teach yourself the material, you finally get the answer to the question that is given ane then you are faced with a more difficult question, for which there is no answer. Then when you look at the learning objectives, which are listed in the margin next to each question, you find that there is NOTHING in the learning objective, no sample problem, that will help you. It is frustrating to say the least... Perhaps the next edition will be better.

The worst book from McGraw Hill Publisher I've ever seen!,
By An ordinary consumer (Rochester, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Accounting: What the Numbers Mean with Student Study Resource, PowerWeb & NetTutor Package (Hardcover)
McGraw Hill put a lot of efforts in order to compensate for the indigestible content, but unfortunately they could not compensate for that and their good design merely created an illusion that the book is on an acceptable level.
I had this book for one of my online accounting classes and the whole class was crying from that. It felt that one author wrote the text, another one wrote the content of exercises, and third one wrote quizzes. All of them did not talk to each other during the whole process. As a result, when you read the text, you feel like you understand everything, but when you do exercises or respond to quiz questions, you can miss around 90% easily. We demanded that our university should withdraw this textbook from the program. After this book, those who wanted to become accountants, changed their mind, that how bad this book is.
