Customer Reviews:
Easy to use for both a practitioner and a layman.......2006-11-07
This was written by three of my former professors at the School of Taxation at the University of Florida. The text mirrors why I enjoyed their classes and took 38 hours under them. It puts a rather complicated IRS Code interpretation into easy to understand practical applications.
Difficult To Understand The Main Issues.......2005-06-19
This text includes cases that involve a lot of the accounting numbers without a lot of explanation about the tax principles that were used in deriving the numbers. The best supplement I have found is the Eighth Edition Federal Income Taxation supplement by Stephen Lind and David Hudson put out by the Black Letter Series by the West Group recommended by my professor which was written by one of the authors of the casebook.
Book Description
This casebook has helped law students learn about income taxation for almost a decade, presenting the material in an engaging, appealing, and humorous format. This book introduces students to many of the materials a tax lawyer uses in practice--cases, revenue rulings, private letter rulings, committee reports, Joint Committee Prints, and a Congressional colloquy. New updates include coverage of various contemporary issues such as psychic income, bumped flights, Oprah's car giveaways, and others.
Book Description
Using a "building-block" format, this law school text leads students from the basic elements of the federal income tax system to increasingly complex details such as timing principles, tax avoidence limitations, and characterization issues. Instructional tools in the text allow students to apply simple Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation provisions and use self-assessment questions to measure their own comprehension. Problems for class discussion require readers to research tax code and apply complex rules to basic fact patterns.
Book Description
Extensive coverage of federal income taxation issues relating uniquely to minerals. The basic tax topic approach is applied to depletion and related matters; lease; sale and exchange of mineral properties and production payments; and expenses of mineral operations. A transactional viewpoint is taken regarding sharing arrangements, pooling, and unitization.

A very interesting book on a Civil War Surgeon.......2000-03-30
To all,
This book is diary with much detailed about the life of a 42 year old (pretty old back then) Surgeon (1st Lt...thus a acting assistant surgeon) in the Army of the Potomac in 1862 to 1863. A very interesting story is when his is captured by CSA forces in battle. A CSA soldiers also comes up to him (he is looking for wounded) and tried to shoot him at point blank range. A misfire saved his life. Later, R.E. Lee returns his personal item and lets him return to Yankee lines.
A bit slow at times for for history buffs or reenactors (I play a Union Surgeon in the ACWA.org), then a grand book indeed.
Sincerely,
I remain your humble servant, Major Arthur Henrick.

During his 40 years with Time-Life, Sidney James rose from Bureau Chief in Chicago and Los Angeles, to Assistant Managing Editor of Life, founding Managing Editor and later Publisher of Sports Illustrated, Vice-President of Time Inc., and Time Inc.'s representative in Washington, D.C. After retirement from Time Inc., he became Vice-Chairman of WETA, Washington, D.C.'s public television station, which broadcast the Watergate Hearings gavel-to-gavel, believed by many to have saved public television. With unusual insight and keen wit, James takes the reader from gripping tales of war heroes to stories of the flamboyant, the famous, and the merely pretentious among the cast of characters he encountered through four eventful decades. Press Pass is a fascinating account of a journalist's life in the uncommonly eventful twentieth century.

Book Description
The family into which Mozart was born has never received a rigorous contextual study which does justice to the complexity of its relationships or to its interactions with colleagues, friends, and neighbours in Mozarts native city, Salzburg. Most biographies of Mozart have undervalued the many passages in the rich family correspondence which do not bear directly on him. This book draws on the neglected material, most of which has never been translated into English. At the heart of the work is a detailed examination of the letters, supplemented by little-known archival material from the papers of the Berchtold family, into which Mozarts sister Nannerl married. Additional information concerning Salzburg's local history, especially the working conditions at court and the provision for dependants of court employees, enables the hopes, expectations, and fears of the Mozarts to be located in the context of the social conditions there. As well as providing a sympathetic account of the other members of the family, all of whom were profoundly affected by the experience of sharing their lives with Mozart, this approach gives new significance to the events of Mozart's life; not only are they set against the background of his familys expectations of him, but the ways in which the source material has to be used for this purpose necessarily involves fundamental improvements in its interpretation. Ruth Halliwell challenges most previous views of the characters in Mozart's family (especially of his father, Leopold), and of the relationships within it. She also introduces a wealth of characters from the Mozarts's circle in Salzburg, from chambermaids to princes, and demonstrates the relevance of the gossip stories the Mozarts told about them to the larger outlook of the members of the family. In an important final section, Halliwell traces the roles of Nannerl and Mozart's wife Constanze in using, controlling, and handing on the biographical source material after Mozarts death. She discusses their dealings with publishers such as Breitkopf and Hartel, and with the authors of the earliest biographies of Mozart. This complex topic here receives an account which not only illuminates the characters of both women and the relations between them, but also addresses the question of how myths were able to creep into the Mozartian biography at so early a stage and take tenacious hold.

The psychology of a family.......2005-09-06
Halliwell's book is a fascinating view into the dynamics of the Mozart family, not just Wolfgang, but his father, Leopold, and sister, Nannerl. It is a mesmerizing character study that delves into why they acted as they did, and thus, why history played out as it did. This book made the Mozarts real and made me empathize with the complications of their lives. How would I have reacted in the midst of such multi-faceted situations? This book is also a study of society and the effects of the 18th century's historical restrictions on a family unit. How would the Mozarts have reacted if they had lived in a time and place that had allowed them easier access to opportunities, communication, and the full attainment of their potential? The fact they survived and produced in spite of the daily limitations and crises they faced is a testament to their strength and fortitude. As far as other Mozart bios I have found interesting? "Mozart" by Robert W. Gutman is my second favorite.
Better than most think.......1999-12-31
Halliwell's scholarship is impeccable, and her written style firmly holds the reader for hours at a stretch (I was even thumbing through it at redlights while driving home from work). Much attention is given to the family as a unit as well as historical and biographical background on individuals. The ongoing debate of Mozart and Leopold's respective personalities and their relationship is something that no one book can accurately put to rest, Halliwell's input explores another side of the contemporary idea of Mozart, that can be at odds with traditional views. The reader should be prepared to balance her writing with the works of other Mozart scholars (particularly Knepler, Kuster, and Landons). Incidentally, cjarrard@mindspring.com's online review at Amazon.com is unjustly critical: from the very beginning Halliwell states that her purpose is to explore Mozart's family, and not the genius himself; this is clearly emphasized in the book's preface. And, while Solomon's "A Life" is a masterful read, there is no reason to grasp it as the Bible of Mozart scholarship (consider W. Stafford and N. Till as well as the previously mentioned authors).
Family context adds depth to the study of Mozart's life.......1999-12-30
I found this volume to be well-researched, very well written, and extraordinarily interesting. The strength of this volume is not that it replaces other works concerning Mozart's life but that it richly supplements them. The author has chosen to focus on letters of members (primarily Mozart's father Leopold and his sister Nannerl) of Mozart's family, not just on the letters of Mozart. The author's hypothesis is that much can be learned about Mozart by learning about his family. This book strongly supports this hypothesis. Whereas Solomon (Mozart A Life) presents a rather grim, abusive, and almost criminal picture of Leopold Mozart, I believe that Halliwell's work more likely captures a truer flavor of his character: a very intelligent man concerned for his family, loving but autocratic, less creative than Mozart but still very arrogant, and very much concerned with finances - so much so that Leopold's actions likely adversely affected Mozart's ability to achieve court appointments. In many respects, Halliwell's interpretation of Leopold is similar to Solomon's, except that she suggests a less "criminal" motivation on Leopold's part. One thread that is woven throughout this book, moreso than in others, is the large role that the constant threat of illness and death played in the lives of the Mozart family. The authors hypothesis that this fear of leaving family unprovided for at death provided signficant motivtion for Leopold's actions is certainly plausible. I found, in particular, the chapters on Leopld and Nannerl to be very interesting. I also enjoyed the last several chapters of this book which dealt with the manner in which information was provided by Nannerl and Constanze to the various biographers of Mozart. All in all, I rate this work very highly. This work strengthens and adds family context to the works of Solomon (Mozart: A Life), Einstein (Mozrt: His character, his work), and Braunbehrens (Mozart in Vienna: 1781-1791).
Myth perpetuating.......1999-12-18
Biased toward the myth of the spoiled brat who *really" didn't deserve to accomplish what he did. Good for a giggle.
Was Wolfgang Really As Bad As All That?.......1998-05-28
Having just read the book "The Mozart Family: Four Lives in a Social Context", I think the subtitle should be changed to "Two Lives in a Social Context". The author lavishes a lot of attention and affection on the famous composer's father (Leopold) and his sister (Nannerl). Wolfgang Mozart is merely a shadowy presence in the background. The author has quite a different take on Leopold than that presented by Maynard Solomon in his book "Mozart: A Life". While Solomon was highly critical of the elder Mozart (Leopold had an extremely controlling nature, he was lying when he claimed to be in financial straits, he was overly critical of his son and he seemd to view Wolfgang as a "cash cow"), Halliwell is full of praise for Leopold (he was self-sacrificing, devoted, and justly worried about his son's irresponsible behavior). On the other hand, Halliwell hardly has one kind word for Wolfgang. He was thoughtless, deceitful, self-centered, and oblivious and uncaring about the problems of his father and sister. He thought the world revolved around him, and the expressions in his letters of love and tender concern for his father and sister were completely hollow.
Solomon makes you want to cry for Wolfgang Mozart, while Halliwell makes you want to cry for his father. Who is right ????
