Key insights into women’s multi-dimensional roles as wives, widows, and mothers during the seventeenth century. Lady Mary Carey (c. 1609–c. 1680) was a noblewoman who examined her life and expressed her views in a handwritten manuscript that she intended for self-reflection and for sharing with restricted audiences of family and friends, rather than for print publication. Her poetry and prose, composed and revised between 1650 and 1658, were important enough to her inner circle, however, that her autograph manuscript was carefully copied by another hand in 1681. In addition to providing us with key insights into women’s multidimensional roles as wives, widows, and mothers during the seventeenth century in England, Carey’s work teaches us a great deal about a woman’s deepest emotional and spiritual states while confronting the hardships of life—from the fears of childbearing to the sorrows over child loss to the terrors of war.

Engaging and lively, clear and practical, this is the most applied accounting book written specifically for business and management students. Sam Smart is the budding entrepreneur on whom the case study at the heart of this book is based. Featured at the start of each chapter, we follow Sam as he goes from starting a small business, printing sports kits for local teams, to managing a global sports business. Throughout the course of the book he assesses the success of his business, finances activities, makes pricing decisions, opens new branches, looks at cash flow, and facilitates planning, control, and investment. As we follow the case study, the core topics central to accounting are covered with clarity, imagination, and relevance, giving students the support they need to complete their course and exams with confidence. The wealth of additional examples and self-test exercises available alongside the case study enable students not only to develop an appreciation of how accounting information allows a manager to make key business decisions, but also to acquire the skills necessary to enable them to converse with accountants, and challenge their assumptions and methodologies. This book is accompanied by the following online resources: For Students: - Multiple choice questions - Additional practice questions with answers - Flashcard glossary - Tables from the text For Lecturers: - Test bank - PowerPoint presentations - Solutions to end-of-part case studies - Additional end-of-part case studies (with solutions) - Assessment guide - Double entry chapters
