Covering accounting, management, marketing, law, finance, and economics, this set aims “to summarize the body of knowledge that we
know as business in a single place and in language accessible to the
layperson.” Special emphasis is placed on careers and ethics in
various areas of business, such as “Careers in Finance” and “Ethics in
Finance.” The 300-plus alphabetically arranged entries do more
than simply define a term; for example, the entry for accounting also
describes its history, principles, and agencies, shows how students
can enter the profession, and provides cross references to related
topics such as “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” All the
entries are in fact cross-referenced and include bibliographies
offering print resources and web sites. In addition to business terms,
legislation such as “Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977″ and
agencies, including the “General Accounting Office,” have featured entries.
An alphabetical index is included, with numbers in bold face indicating
main entries. Many of the entries are illustrated with photographs,
tables, and figures. Designed for a wide audience ranging from high
school students to lay readers to practitioners, this work is highly recommended for school, academic, and public libraries. Lucy Heckman St. John’s Univ. Lib., Jamaica, NY
