Book Description

It is not easy to prevent others from using your ideas or information for gain unless you use the sophisticated and esoteric legal techniques of intellectual property law.

Copyright, which is especially important, is a form of protection afforded to many different types of work. Copyright protection for literary work is well known, and this regime also applies to musical and artistic works, broadcasts, sound and video recordings and typographical arrangements.

An Introduction to Intellectual Property, an introduction to topics in intellectual property law by the unusual method of using moots, mock trials, questions and answers and essays, is not a textbook. It serves to interest the inquisitive without going into the deep law of IP. It will certainly encourage the reader to read an IP textbook and help students when faced with a decision to choose the subject for study.

Book Description

This book proposes that using two or more management science methodologies in the same intervention is likely to produce a richer picture for "seeing and understanding the complex web of relationships and interconnectivities" which is likely to lead to better decision taking by managers and workers. This is what is meant by "multimethodology." In conclusion, the book explores several theoretical and philosophical perspectives on combining methodologies from different paradigms, as well as presenting many actual examples from practice.

Book Description

In today's go-go market, investors' attitudes toward risk--as well as toward bonds--have undergone a dramatic transformation. The new rules of bond investing are complex, often confusing, and if misunderstood, potentially expensive. BOND MARKET RULES provides concise, easy-to-read explanations--from investing fundamentals to advanced trading strategies--to give you a comprehensive overview of bond investing. In addition, it is an ideal fingertip reference to today's most trusted rules, helping you know at a glance how a bond should act in any given situation--and just as important, how you should act to protect your investments. Individually, any one of the 50 chapters in BOND MARKET RULES could save you a fortune in portfolio blunders and miscues. Collectively, they provide nothing less than the most comprehensive manual available on knowing the bond market inside and out.

For example: Chapter 3 discusses the true meaning and importance of the yield curve, a popular yet often misunderstood bellwether of possible changes in the economy. Chapter 16 explains the "ladder" strategy--and how it can provide liquidity for long- term bond investors, while minimizing the effects of reinvestment risk. Chapter 27 describes the pluses and minuses of the popular zero coupon bonds, and why they are often preferred for retirement investment accounts. Chapter 49 discusses the promising but volatile new "Brady" bond--what it is, how it works, and why February and March are often the most profitable months to buy a Brady.

Simply put, bonds should be a part of any diversified portfolio. In addition, new attitudes and investment products have made the fixed-income market as exciting and potentially rewarding as the stock market. By presenting and explaining the usefulness of today's top 50 professional bond trading rules, BOND MARKET RULES will tell you everything you need to know about this vibrant, potentially lucrative market. On its own, or in combination with author Michael Sheimo's other nuts-and-bolts guidebooks, it will give you a comprehensive knowledge of the fixed-income investment world, and show you the safest, most profitable ways to include bonds in your diversified portfolio.

Good Beginner to Intermediate Book.......2001-06-07

I'm going to be short with this review but I liked the book enough to log into Amazon and at least attempt to write something. First, easy read. Second, good analysis of yield curves. Third, provided a basic understanding of the concepts. Enough to get started.

I am going to buy yet another book on Bonds. It goes into more depth on each type of bond and investing for income.

However, this book was a great start to the cloudy world of bonds and the vocabulary that goes along with it.

Encyclopedic coverage with high readability.......2001-01-25

This fine (and fat) book is just the thing for people who currently trade online or those who are considering it. It provides a nice assortment of screen shots of useful sites to become familiar with and concludes each chapter with a concise summary in list format. The book is 823 pages long but still doesn't go far enough on specialist topics. But this book is a comprehensive and carefully constructed primer on the entire waterfront from Stocks to Bonds to Mutual Funds and of course to the particulars and precautions of setting up an account, making trades, gathering timely information etc. I like that it doesn't take an AOL-centric point of view because that would be too limiting. If you are interested in Online Investing, buy this book and supplement it with a subscription to "Online Investing" magazine (monthly) which would bring you up to date on new developments and also cover special topics with more depth.

Book Description

If you are like most people, you undoubtedly feel that you have paid enough taxes during your career to last several lifetimes, and you certainly don't relish the idea of paying taxes once you are retired. You may not have to. There are places around the world offering outstanding lifestyles that you can enjoy during your retirement (or even semi-retirement) where you may considerably reduce the taxes you would expect to pay in your home country. In some places you may be able to eliminate income taxes entirely. The opportunities exist; they are even promoted by some jurisdictions. These places may be thought of as retirement havens, which is the subject of this book. Simply put, a retirement haven is a country, jurisdiction, or city that offers special tax incentives for their residents. While such places may be attractive to various individuals, they are especially so for retirees who wish to maintain their assets in the safest and most efficient manner possible. Unquestionably, one of the most effective methods for maintaining assets during the retirement years is to reduce your tax burden. The author does not endorse any retirement haven over another. Included in the book are places around the world that may prove suitable for individuals who are retired, or are about to retire, and who wish to significantly reduce their tax burden in a land that is pleasant, safe, and where they can enjoy a superior style of life. The golden years can truly be golden with proper planning and wise decision-making. You may find that you wish not to move to another part of the world during your retirement, or that you don't wish to live in any particular place. Perhaps you wish to travel the world perpetually. There is a term for this -- Perpetual Traveler. Indeed there are people who have retired and bought yachts that they use as an “ocean-going mobile home.” They visit ports and magnificent cities throughout the world, remaining for the length of time the country allows (which may be several months), and then sailing to the next destination. By not being a “resident” of a country, you are not liable for taxes. The sophistication of personal computers and internet data links can keep you in touch with the world and informed about your investments. No two retirement havens are alike. Each has unique characteristics that individuals must evaluate according to their own likes, dislikes, and expectations. What this book does is summarize the MANY countries that offer a significant escape from taxes.

Retirement need not be a mundane affair in which you watch your hard-earned savings and investments dwindle away due to a high cost of living and burdensome taxes. With the proper planning it can be a time of new opportunities and enjoyment, as well as a time in which you keep more of your assets by reducing your cost of living and taxes.

Customer Reviews:

An offshore book with an exciting difference.......2001-05-06

I really liked this book. Unlike books that talk only about financial privacy and tax havens, the author goes into issues of lifestyle privacy, health record privacy, insurance information, and mentions specific top quality banks and insurance firms that provide services offshore (with their contact information).

Perhaps most meaningful of all is that the author actually lives offshore, but is retired. So he writes about what he knows and practices, while so many so-called offshore books are written by American service providers who have something to sell you but don't actually live the lifestyle. This author has nothing to sell you, but lives the offshore life. He has been writing about these subjects for some 25 years -- I've read his 1970s books -- and most other books can't come close.

Live in Paradise and Cut Your Taxes.......2001-04-01

Consider, for example, a tiny nation, nestled in the mountains between France and Spain, with no army, no poverty, and no income taxes. Here, in what has been called "the shopping amll of Europe," you can enjoy a high-quality of life for much less than you'd pay in America. (Property taxes, for instance, are a maximum of $240 a year.) There's virtually no unemployment. And the crime rate is the lowest in Europe.

Or, there's America's largest trading partner, which UN economists have judged the best nation in the world in which to live and work. A land of wide-open spaces, low crime, a clean environment, comprehensive shopping, affordable housing, and excellent government services. (You can travel there without a visa, or even a passport.) And best of all, Americans who follow Starchild's recommended procedures can escape taxes altogether.

Or perhaps you'd prefer a small European enclave on the shore of a beautiful lake, with uncontrolled access to Switzerland and Liechtenstein (two great asset havens). As a resident, you pay no income tax or local tax. Municipal services are paid for by profits from the local casino. The region boasts lakes and winter sports, and is only an hour away from the cultural activities of Milan, Italy.

If you're a retired investor, author, musician, or inventor, you may qualify to reside in a unique Mediterranean island nation that's also a popular tourist destination. Your income from foreign investments or royalties is taxed at a low rate of only 5%.

There are also many beautiful sun-drenched Caribbean isalnds you could make your home.

Or, if you have a yearning to live at sea, Starchild tells you about using a yacht as your personal residential haven.

All these places are available to you. And many more besides. And you can find them all featured in Passport to International Living.

A good strategy for 2001 and after.......2001-02-09

Owning property or a business outside the U.S. could become a private alternative to storing wealth in a foreign bank or securities account that has to be reported to the IRS. New regulations effective on January 1, 2001 require foreign banks to report U.S. securities owned by American clients.

The Expatriation Trend.......2000-10-14

Many US citizens now are seeking the American dream outside the USA. These people want what other Americans want: safe streets, good schools, friendly neighbors, rewarding work. The difference is that they are finding them in Canada, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel, Taiwan, and a growing list of other countries that are attracting record numbers of immigrants from the United States.

The United States has long been a promised land of opportunity, attracting more than 900,000 immigrants last year from all corners of the globe.

The flow of people is now no longer exclusively inward. An increasing number of Americans are looking abroad for the chance to live the kind of life they do not believe is possible in the US. Experts estimate that roughly 250,000 to 300,000 Americans move overseas each year. Of these, most are former immigrants returning to their native countries, but as many as 100,000 are native-born. Why are they leaving? The globalization of the world's economy and the breakdown of national barriers have facilitated a freer flow of goods, ideas, and people. Analysts view it as a major emerging trend of the 21st century.

Worldwide travel is faster, easier, and cheaper than at any time in human history. Telecommunications are rapidly improving, with advances in satellite technology and the growth of the Internet. Financial networks crisscross the globe. International opportunities for businesses and other endeavors are limited only by the scope of one's imagination. One sociologist who has studied Americans who leave the US has noted that the land of opportunity has now lost its borders.

Who is leaving? Students, employees, recent college graduates, businessmen, retirees, teachers, and entrepreneurs. Their ranks include most social categories, but the majority tend to be college-educated professionals. Why are they leaving? Some are looking for a slower, more peaceful pace of life. Others are seeking economic opportunities, fame, or adventure and believe it will be easier to obtain overseas. Some just want to get away. A small number of wealthy Americans leave to obtain a tax advantage. Others decide to move on because of what they view as the declining quality of life in the US. People applying to foreign embassies cite fear of crime, racial tensions, and the lack of morality in the US as reasons for their desire to leave the country. But the most important thing that all Americans would like to have is control and many people in the US feel they have lost control of their lives according to one expert who has studied the phenomenon of US citizens going abroad.

Currently, 3.2 million Americans are living abroad, up by more than 1 million in the 1990s alone, US State Department estimates show. The most popular destinations are also the closest. There are an estimated 627,000 Americans living in Canada and 550,000 Americans in Mexico. American emigration is not just confined to the Western Hemisphere. Countries ranging from Britain to Israel to Japan all boast large and growing numbers of Americans as year-round residents. The few exceptions to the trend include countries such as Iran and Libya, which are places where Americans feel less than welcome.

Aside from annual estimates by State Department personnel stationed around the world, there is no systematic US government effort to identify which and how many Americans are leaving the US. The State Department estimates are designed more to identify Americans who may need to be quickly evacuated from a country during an emergency, rather than to track the movements of US citizens. Americans are free to come and go from the US as they please and are not obligated to notify the government of their intentions.

Some observers are worried about the recent trend and warn that America may be in danger of losing its most productive and promising citizens in a US-version of the brain drain Britain experienced in the 1960s. Thirty years ago, many British scientists quit their homeland in favor of higher paying and better-equipped research jobs in the US. The same kind of economic migration of highly skilled Americans may now be under way, according to some analysts. According to one prominent university economist, it is the best and brightest, the innovators, who leave.

In the 21st century, countries will increasingly compete for the world's top talent. But many analysts argue the US has cornered the market and will continue to attract enough talented immigrants to more than compensate for any loss of American citizens. Other analysts point out that global migration will have another benefit as it will become a catalyst for international unity and peace. The kind of world we are moving toward is going to be shaped by a number of economic and political forces that will lead to a diminution of national borders and it is likely to offer more for the good than the bad.

One observer of the phenomenon of international immigration believes it will reduce hostilities and lessen the possibility of conflicts to have people of other societies enriching the society in which they move. This is the vanguard for the trend of the 21st century in the developed world.

Book Description

Though challenged with some of life's most difficult circumstances, Marie Thieme kept her life's motto Onward Ever, Backward Never and faced these situations with an incredibly positive attitude. Her story will inspire you to trust God and rejoice in every situation. Marie has lived 40 years with multiple sclerosis while raising a family of six children and helping to run the Amigo Company, a business started when her husband invented the first three-wheeled motorized vehicle for the handicapped to assist with her disability. When her 18-year-old son was killed in an auto accident and her husband left her several years later, she remained faithful to God and relied on him to carry her through many heart-wrenching situations. Her life experiences, joyful attitude, and trust in God will inspire you to press Onward Ever, Backward Never. "Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need!" (Psalm 23:1 (LB) Even in the midst of trials, Marie exemplifies the Apostle Paul's words that we "rejoice in our suffering." This book will provide hope and peace for all who read it. Linda Hollman, Assistant to the Pastor in Outreach, Assimilation, and Women's Ministry at Christ Our Savior Lutheran in Livonia, MI Marie's trials and joys have strengthened her faith in Jesus, her Savior. Her positive attitude has sustained her as she relates her joy to keep living life to the fullest as God provides strength. Irene Bronner, Frankenmuth, MI Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland The award-winning Amigo was invented by the Thieme team to help Christian soldier Marie and many others who are battling MS. Her most important of numerous awards is the deep-rooted Christian faith that God granted to Marie. Wally Bronner, Frankenmuth, MI Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland
