Book excerpt: Who says taxes and accounting are dull and boring? This remarkable book weaves entertaining and educational stories on how American and world history have been influenced and molded by the not-so-well-known history of taxes. Unique, quirky, interlaced with personal accounts, and always enlightening, consider a few of the amazing tax stories that have involved some of our best-known leaders and celebrities:Martin Luther King survived a six-day jury trial, avoiding prison for underpaying his income tax by $318.81.Prior to 1933, U.S. presidents were exempt from paying income tax.President Franklin Roosevelt saved Congressman Lyndon Johnson from prison for criminal tax fraud.Sixty years ago, the IRS was so corrupt that if you didn't offer the IRS agent a bribe, he might shake you down for one. Abolish the IRS? Andrew Jackson actually did so. But it came back 28 years later.Al Capone was just one of many Americans with notorious tax problems. Lesser tax problems faced Alan Jay Lerner, Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, Willie Nelson, Wesley Snipes, Liberace, Groucho Marx and Jack Benny. Many fascinating tax stories fill this book, including tales of gifts to Anna Nicole Smith, Irving Berlin's songs and much more.Through his decades-long experience as a practicing tax accountant with an insider's knowledge of tax policy and legislation, Jay Starkman provides a fresh and provocative perspective on taxes and accounting. He also gives unconventional and invaluable advice on dealing with IRS.

Book Synopsis The Hippopotamus by : Stephen Fry

Download or read book The Hippopotamus written by Stephen Fry. This book was released on 2010-08-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ted Wallace is a sour, old, cantankerous beast, a womanising and whisky-sodden bounder of a failed poet and drama critic, but he has his faults too. Fired from his newspaper, months behind on his alimony payments and disgusted with a world that undervalues him, Ted seeks a few months' repose and free drink at Swafford Hall, the country mansion of his old friend Lord Logan. But strange things have been going on at Swafford. Miracles. Healings. Phenomena beyond the comprehension of a mud-caked hippopotamus like Ted. 'Clever...witty...not what it seems' The Times 'My goodness what fruity language Fry uses! You can feel his enjoyment, and also the huge force of his desire to please you, as you read this' Daily Mail

Book Synopsis Liaisons of Life by : Tom Wakeford

Download or read book Liaisons of Life written by Tom Wakeford. This book was released on 2002-02-28. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating exploration of symbiosis at the microscopic level and its radical extension of Darwinism Microbes have long been considered dangerous and disgusting-in short, "scum." But by forming mutually beneficial relationships with nearly every creature, be it alga with animals or zooplankton with zebrafish, microbes have in fact been innovative players in the evolutionary process. Now biologist and award-winning science writer Tom Wakeford shows us this extraordinary process at work. He takes us to such far-flung locales as underwater volcanoes, African termite mounds, the belly of a cow and even the gaps between our teeth, and there introduces us to a microscopic world at turns bizarre, seductive, and frightening, but ever responsible for advancing life in our macroscopic world. In doing so he also justifies the courage and vision of a series of scientists-from a young Beatrix Potter to Lynn Margulis-who were persecuted for believing evolution is as much a matter of interdependence and cooperation as it is great too-little-told tales of evolutionary science.

Book excerpt: In the summer of 1944, a shocking murder rocked the fledgling Beats. William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, both still unknown, we inspired by the crime to collaborate on a novel, a hard-boiled tale of bohemian New York during World War II, full of drugs and art, obsession and brutality, with scenes and characters drawn from their own lives. Finally published after more than sixty years, this is a captivating read, and incomparable literary artifact, and a window into the lives and art of two of the twentieth century’s most influential writers.
