This book is essentially an introductory managerial accounting book which purports to be an undergraduate text but is really at a high school level. As promised, it has an "easy-to-understand presentation" and uses a "hands-on learning approach". The book is clear in its presentation, it does a good job at providing plenty of easy-to-read tables, and it uses plenty of real-world applications as examples. However, it is extremely lacking in depth. Instead of providing you with a large quantity of useful, practical information, it gives you a small amount of that information and just a taste of what the field is about. After I finished it, I was left with an idea of what Managerial Accounting is about, but I was still rather ignorant regarding the details. I wouldn't recommend for professors to use this as a main textbook in any class, but it might work as a "suggested reading" for students who are having some difficulty with the more depthful textbook that you should be using.
