Charles Zeigler, Jr., a certified management accountant with roughly five decades of experience in accounting and finance, has published "Basic Accounting Theory for Beginners or Those Thinking of a Career," a guide aimed at people weighing accounting as a profession or simply trying to understand how a company’s books work.

The book is built around a single teaching device: a fictional manufacturing company whose transactions readers follow for a full year, from the initial investment through closing the books at year’s end. According to the book’s description, that structure is meant to walk readers through the accounting equation, double-entry bookkeeping, journal entries, and how financial statements come together, building the concepts from first principles rather than treating them as material to memorize for an exam.

Zeigler’s own career included work as an accountant, auditor, controller, and financial analyst, with a focus on industrial cost accounting, according to the announcement. He has worked across corporations in Michigan and California subsidiaries, and describes one formative experience installing new accounting systems into a company culture resistant to the change. That background, per the announcement, shaped his approach to explaining technical material in plain language.

The book also takes on a question aimed squarely at the undecided: accounting or finance. Zeigler lays out, in his own words, which certifications carry weight in the field, what realistic salary and growth trajectories look like, and the paths from staff-level roles up to controller or CFO. It closes with what the book’s description calls personal advice on what tends to separate people who succeed in the field from those who don’t.

"I wanted to create a resource that answers the questions I wish someone had addressed when I was beginning my career," Zeigler said in a statement accompanying the release. "This book demystifies accounting and gives readers the honest perspective they need to make an informed decision about their professional future."

The book is published through Page Publishing and is available at bookstores and through major online retailers including Amazon, Apple Books, Google Play, and Barnes & Noble.

Studio CarryOnHarry sees the real value here less in the bookkeeping mechanics, which plenty of textbooks cover, and more in the career-path candor from someone who’s actually sat in the controller’s chair.

Tex Edes has published "Leadership Communication Simplified: A Personal Development Guide," a self-help title aimed at leaders who struggle to be heard, give effective feedback, or navigate day-to-day workplace conflict, according to the book’s publisher, Page Publishing.

Edes draws on roughly three decades of leadership experience that spans small-town retail, government contracts and corporate boardrooms, according to the announcement. He is also a US Army veteran whose career moved from front-line supervisory work to executive leadership, and he has lectured on communication and built training programs for teams, the publisher states.

The book organizes its argument around five skill areas: building trust through personal branding, listening rather than waiting to respond, reading nonverbal cues, telling stories that move people to act, and holding steady during digital exchanges, difficult conversations and high-pressure moments. According to the publisher’s description, each chapter pairs a practical framework with a field story meant to show how the idea plays out on an actual team, rather than leaving it as abstract advice.

"After decades of leading through countless changes and challenges, I realized that the leaders who make the greatest difference aren’t necessarily the smartest in the room," Edes said in a statement accompanying the release. "They’re the ones who communicate with intention and help others feel heard. I wrote this book to help readers stop second-guessing themselves and start leading with authentic confidence."

The publisher frames the book’s core claim plainly: that leadership communication is a skill that can be learned, not a trait some people simply have. Readers can obtain the book from retail locations and digital platforms such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Apple iTunes, with Page Publishing as the publisher.

Studio CarryOnHarry notes the leadership-communication category is a crowded one, but a book built from three decades of varied, hands-on experience rather than a single industry’s playbook is worth a second look for readers tired of recycled management-speak.
