A truly inspiring book.......2004-06-28

We have the second edition of this book, and it has been an inspiration. My daughter is taking a "gap year" before college and found a program through the book. So far our contact with the organization Venture Co has been professional and impressive. I strongly recommend this book to anybody contemplating or planning a year off. Every student should take a pause before college and this will guide you in how to do it. It even has fundraising ideas.

Book Description

Use this comprehensive guide as a course supplement or as a refresher for members of the bar. Expert commentary summarizes the law and offers critical evaluation on the essentials of estate, gift, and generation-skipping tax planning, and reform proposals and fundamental alternatives to the current transfer tax system. Additional chapters cover annuities; inclusion and valuation; exemptions and exclusions; deductions; and tax liabilities.

Customer Reviews:

Great book for a beginner.......2003-03-16

I own a company and needed to learn about the basics of tax reduction. I found this book to be useful in just the basics. Because it concentrated on many topics, I believe it wasn't able to focus on many items that would have been useful to me. However, it was well written and easy to read, and I give it five stars because it gave me many broad questions to ask my tax consultant.

Less than what I expected.......2001-11-12

I thought that this book would have tons of lists of tips and give lots of legal, but perhaps edgey advice, but it fell short. I didn't find it easy to read through, I didn't find lots of lists and tips, I like books like this to make it easier.

I am sure the advice is sound, but what I found here didn't seem to live up to what the cover implied.

Where are the S-Corps?.......2001-01-21

I found this book a bit loose, and am looking for a more thorough description of financial management practices unique to an S-Corp. I have been looking for a definitive description of S-Corp accounting practices and concrete tax saving advice. My S-Corp. started last April, from a 3-month old sole proprietorship with all the requisite Federal and State designations. If anyone knows of a book particular to S-Corps, it would be much appreciated. In conclusion, I have found this book helpful, yet not as specific or thorough as I had hoped.

An understandable book on reducing business taxes.......2000-06-29

Full of good ideas conveyed with a clear writing style, this book gives readers lots of good, concrete examples of how different businesses can reduce their tax burden. I was looking to create a new company and wanted to figure out which type of company was right for me (partnership, LLC, Chapter S, or C Corp). By following the examples in the book, I was able to zero in on the right organization for my consulting business. I have no doubt that when it is all said and done, I will have saved thousands of dollars by reading this excellent book.

Balanced Portrait of America's Mayor : Ugly and Beauty.......2004-03-14

This is not a traditional biography, which was what I expected when I picked up the book. If you wish to know about Rudy's life before 1989, his first marriage, childhood, days as U.S. attorney, this is not the right book for you. The first 100 pages or so this book are a bit slow--too much campaign stuff and not enough on governing. However, the narrative picks up quickly over the last 200 pages. We learn about Rudy's mistakes and triumphs--of which there are many. You learn a ton about Rudy's controversial policies. The personal scandals are discussed, but not in a malicious way. We never learn about the details of his mysterious marriage to Donna Hanover--or anything much about Hanover. So, yes, things are left out. However, Al Sharpton is a fascinating character here. You learn about Rudy's day on Sept. 11, when the author was actually running around the city with the Mayor. The narrative ends in 2001. I would have loved to hear more about Bloomberg, but who can change the publication date now? It isn't perfect, but Rudy remains one of the fascinating--and successful--Mayors of our time.

Solid and Condensed Biography.......2004-02-19

This biography was excellently written in a mostly unbiased way. Kirtzman has an excellent understanding of NYC politics and this served to his advantage in chronicling Giulianis life. For a more comprehensive biography pick up "Rudy" by Wayne Barrett.

read in one sitting.......2003-02-21

I picked this book up to read on a flight from Providence to Phoenix. I never put it down and read the whole book by arrival. It is an incredibly readable book. As far as I understand it was oringinally published before sept 11th so most of the book is unbiased by the great acts the mayor performed on that day and afterword. This being siad the author is great at detailing the intricacies of New York politics. A worthwhile read for anyone who didnt experience the Guliani era first hand(in NY). As another reviewer siad it does lack detail and certainly is in no way a biography of the man. The book is a political biography the starts in 1988 and ends in 2001.

america's mayor? hero-mayor? hardly.......2002-09-30

Consider that even before Sept 11, this "hero" was publically questioning whether there should be mayoral elections at all, (term limits meant he had to go) and after the tragic events he wanted them cancelled so that he could stay on, since in his words he was already "experienced and doing a good job". His contempt for democracy is matched by his endless conceit.
His public order record is bound to be reviewed considering the positions he took over repeated police shootings/savagery of civilians/bystanders (Dialo and Louima being only two of the most publicized).
As for the "hero" part, a hero is one who risks his life to save or help others. It is not clear what risk Mr Juliani undertook either as mayor or as soon-to-be-ex-mayor during the aftermath of Sept 11, other than attempt to monopolize the publicity of a profound tragedy for personal aggrandizement. There is clearly an effort by the Royalist (former Republican) party to place him in the front running for high national office. Don't go for it.

if only rudy was as easy a read as this book is...It's great.......2002-02-05

Having lived through those turbulent years and having to begrudginly give my approval to many of the things that he did,I find that the balance in this superbly written and easy to read study make me more comfortable with my feelings. Kirtzman doesn't take sides as much as he presents both sides allowing the reader to get a better feel for this complex and often forbidding and not forgiving mayor without sacrificing your basic reactions to the man. A must read.

King of the Mountain covers the juicy details of the 1992 scandal that besmirched New York State Court of Appeals chief judge Sol Wachtler: the astonishing discovery that he had sent obscene, harassing, and ultimately threatening letters to a former lover. But journalist John Caher also thoroughly documents Wachtler's brilliant legal and political career, arguing persuasively that the traits that sparked his success (an analytical, often manipulative intelligence and a huge ego) also prompted his downfall. Here's one tell-all biography that you can relish without hating yourself in the morning.

Book Description

As late as 1874 no women were licensed to practice medicine in Canada. Indeed, Canada's first female doctor, Dr. James Miranda Stuart Barry, was a man. Or so thought her superiors in the British Army.

In this fascinating and inspiring account of the courage, heroism, and dedication of Canada's pioneer women doctors, Carlotta Hacker traces the lives of a wide range of women who worked throughout the world, combining the struggle for women's rights with remarkable medical achievements. Serving in the Canadian West, as missionaries in China, Tibet, and India, or advancing knowledge as medical scholars, the doctors considered worked tirelessly to alleviate suffering in the world.

The Indomitable Lady Doctors is a fascinating account of the struggle to open the Canadian medical profession to women, and of the remarkable women who fought this struggle.
