This unexpurgated bible of the business world explodes the myth that profits are governed by a set of common principles and guidelines, showing how companies manipulate their reported results. Illustrated here with some of the most recent examples of corporate creativity are all the very latest schemes for tampering with taxation, flattering the fixed assets, pilfering the pension fund and many other ways of cooking the books, yet staying inside the law.

This book is a collection of historical documents related to immigration of the Chinese to the United States. Special efforts were made to collect documents related to the Chinese Exclusion Act and its impact on the Chinese American society in the United Sates. This book details the Chinese American political struggles and social conditions in California and America. The painful history of misoneism, racism, and inequality are well documented. It all began during California's infancy, the 1850s Gold Rush, which Chinese natives referred to as Gam Saan (Cantonese, for Gold Mountain). These prevailing attitudes expressed misunderstanding and fear towards the Chinese community. And though these prejudices were acknowledged through the rescission of racist laws, an apology was never issued until 2009.
