David Spiceland, Wayne Thomas, and Don Herrmann have developed a unique set of materials based directly on their collective years in the classroom. They’ve brought together best practices like highlighting Common Mistakes, offering frequent Let’s Review exercises, integrating the course with a running Continuing Problem, demonstrating the relevance of the course with real-world companies and decision analysis, and conveying it all in a student-friendly conversational writing style. The authors have developed a concise and well-organized learning framework to show students that accounting consists of three major processes: measuring, analyzing, and communicating. By consistently tying each lesson into this framework, instructors can continue to improve student outcomes. 

After the proven success of the first four editions of Financial Accounting, the fifth edition will continue to motivate, engage, and challenge students. Paired with the market-leading power of the Connect platform, the Spiceland/Thomas/Hermann author team will truly illuminate the financial accounting course for each student.

Don was best known for his warm and welcoming personality. He enjoyed serving in his local community and church, as well as hosting families and students in his home.

He is survived by his wonderful wife Mary and four amazing children Rachel, David, Nathan, and Micah. As he battled through the different stages of cancer, he often reflected on his family. He was so proud of them and talked about them with a humble thankfulness. 

Those who knew Don were fortunate to share their lives with him. He lived with a sense of purpose and a solid foundation. That foundation continues through his family and the people he’s touched. He will be missed by many.
