Accountancy provides a significant role and impact on the public
and private sectors through its various disciplines and
specialties. Trust in human and technological interactions is a
primary objective of public accounting. Accountancy provides the
strategic capability to access and interpret organizational
performance. Therefore, because of its impactful role, it is
important to understand and project how accountancy will change as
a profession. As accountancy continuously evolves, it mandates
agility among stakeholders, particularly those in education and the
professions. The Past, Present, and Future of Accountancy Education
and Professions broadly covers the ways accountancy will require
new roles and knowledge for its constituents in the emerging
future. The book explores how technological, educational,
professional, and societal changes will transform accountancy.
Covering topics such as business demands, professional
competencies, and student success, this premier reference source is
an excellent resource for financial reporters, financial advisors,
auditors, accountants, administrators and educators of both K-12
and higher education, students of higher education, pre-service
teachers, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
During the American Civil War, an educated Black woman posed as an
illiterate slave in the home of the rebel President Jefferson
Davis. Spying on the war councils of Davis and his advisers, she
risked her life to send vital intelligence to the U.S. military.
This was Mary Richards’ one-woman fight in the ongoing battle to
end slavery. Born into slavery herself but freed to be educated in
the North, she was sent to Africa as a teenage missionary. On her
return to the American South in wartime, she was recruited as a
Union spy and sent on her dangerous mission to the ‘Confederate
White House’. She risked her life again after the war, teaching
freed former slaves in rural Georgia, in the face of growing
threats from the Ku Klux Klan. ‘She Spied for Freedom’ is about
those who shaped Richards’ world—among them, her benefactor and
spymaster, Elizabeth Van Lew; her fellow agents; her three
husbands; and those, like Jefferson Davis and his wife, she dealt
with in the camp of the enemy. 'She Spied for Freedom' is the story
of a lone warrior for justice who faced poverty, illness, brutal
racism, and life-threatening danger—but never surrendered.

This publication is a personal account of experiences in the
world of science, medicine, public health, drug development, and
international health care, obtained from many different areas of
the world during the rewarding and diverse fifty-year career of
Thomas Jones, MD. That career has included major activities in the
United States, Switzerland, the Philippines, Thailand, and Brazil,
as well as smaller experiences in virtually every corner of the
globe. It has included work in universities, the corporate world of
drug research, and work with government organizations.
There have been misdirections in health care that have been
partially overlooked, perhaps because of attention given to the
numerous--primarily technical--advances that have been made. The
essays, in spite of their rather negative message, are intended to
be a pleasure to read--coherent, logical, tasteful, and accurate,
with humor where appropriate but severity where needed.
The essays have been divided into three types: first, those that
are relevant to social, governmental, and drug policy issues in our
society; second, those relevant to special approaches to health
care from the viewpoint of a specialist in infectious diseases; and
third, those regarding specific infectious diseases. These three
areas overlap at numerous points, but they allow the reader to
direct his or her attention to policy issues, health care
approaches, or the specific disease.
I know it's not that popular anymore;I know I may be shown the
door, But I submit this book of poetryFor the whole world to see.I
am a very simple man;I try to do the best that I can.My skill level
is not that high;I do what I do to get by.We all try to change the
world;Sometimes we don't know where we're hurled.But wherever that
place will be;No one can take these words away from me.We live in
an age that is very fast-paced;We all need to slow down-yes, the
whole human race.If this book can help you change your mind, Then
the rest of the world won't be far behind.Poems of love and hate,
peace and war, and romanceI would like to thank you in
advance;Thank you for taking the time to read my words;My deepest
wish is that they lift you up to fly with the birds.Aaron Jones was
inspired to begin writing poetry through the influence of his
brother's band. As the title of the collection suggests, his verse
is set the form of song and is intended to be set to music.
