* Earnings stripping
* Anti-conduit regulations

...and virtually every other income tax matter likely to arise in international business.

International taxation made understandable.......2004-10-27

This book makes international taxation easy to understand.
It is a perfect beginner's book as it reveals the ideas behind otherwise incomprehensible laws.
For those who later on get lost in the maze you can always come back to the basics in this book.
I haven't seen any other writer explain the basics so well.
The only thing that I am disappointed with at this moment, October 2004, is that there is not an updated version available.
I would buy it the moment it comes out.
Also, I agree with one of the reviewers of this book that 4 years in the international taxation world is a very long time.
We now need more updated information on tax shelters in this book for one thing.
Mr. Isenbergh please update this book and publish it.

Simply a Great Book.......2004-02-12

What a delight it is to read a book that simplifies the areana of international taxation. The author has written a book that is easy to digest and actually makes the topic interesting with practical examples. This book is well worth the purchase price. Well done!

Without this book, I would have dropped the exceedingly onerous, frighteningly incomprehensible International Tax course I took in my LL.M. program. Here is the map of the labyrinth, brought to you by Archangel Isenbergh. Folks, this is the real deal, the Revelation.

Buy it, study it, enjoy it, and then pass it on to your kids.

Excellent piece of work!!.......2003-07-31

I would definitely give this book its 5 deserved stars. I have a considerable collection of text books on the subject, and so far I have not read another so concise, easy to read and digest, entertained (the author constantly adds cracks to the story) and superbly written piece of work on US International Taxation. I definitely recommend this book regardless of whether you are in school or in practice. It comes short on very specific detail, but then again, there's when your larger books come in.

Book Description

Offering an informative and intimate insight into the world of clubbing and the experiences of clubbers, this book presents a clear academic framework for study in this field. Issues discussed include social interaction among clubbers; gender and sexuality; the effects of music; the effects of ecstacy and it's place within a 'night out';clubbing as a playful act; dancing; and personal interpretations of clubbing experiences.

Customer Reviews:

Earnest.......2007-03-04

Respectful and not pompous though decidedly academic this book reaches out to honestly describe why people go clubbing. Yes, it is about dancing, and drugs, subjects for which words hardly ever do justice. Nevertheless, for those who have an interest in trying to describe the indescribable, this is one of the more readable and agreeable attempts. However, even as I've quoted sections to friends (yes, they're worth quoting), I am left with what another dancer told me quite spontaneously: she likes to dance, be it merengue, salsa, cumbia, because, as she says, I feel closer to God. I suppose it's just one of those things that you either understand or you don't.

All-time classic.......2006-04-14

I have at various times owned, bought and sold about 1,000 chess books, yet Middlegame Planning by ROmanovsky is one chess book I will never sell. It is an utter and absolute classic on the middlegame. It presents complete annotated games, mostly classics by Alekhine, Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, etc., and with wonderfully lucid and succinct annotations explains the strategy of the game as it unfolds at each stage. He starts right from the opening. This is a perfect book if you have worked through the Silman books, How to Reassess and The Amateur's Mind, and you are looking for raw material of annotated games to apply what you have learned. Everything about this book is just great: the production, the fonts, the diagrams, the binding, but mostly the writing! I consider this an absolutely essential part of my chess library, as well as its companion Middlegame Combinations. If you see one here used, BUY IT!

Well organized, good explanations, BUT not for under 1500.
I am b/w 1300 and 1400, so maybe I failed to see some
things, but this book seemed to be "tutorial". However,
explanations are good. Very well organized!

But, somehow I thought it was comprehensive.

Real-world SCM for real-world developers.......2007-09-28

This is an outstanding book for software development teams that see software configuration management as a means to an end, not the end itself. The author immediately establishes credibility with me when he says in the preface "Software configuration management is not what I do. I am not a software configuration management person...I build software systems" Exactly! It's obvious throughout the book that the authors develop software systems and use SCM to effectively support their development effort, not the other way around.

The format of the book is very consistent and thus very easy to read. Each pattern has its own chapter and clearly identifies the problem and the solution in a particular context. It doesn't waste any paper and is a quick read and has been a reference I continue to use on a regular basis. The authors have taken something that can quickly become complex and make it easy to understand.

The authors have a very natural writing style and effectively use sidebars to bring their real-world experiences to the pattern. This book is a must read for software developers. I wish I could give it six stars.

Given my background in CI, I was most drawn to the Mainline, Private Workspace, Repository, Private System Build, Integration Build, Regression Test, and Third Party Codeline patterns. But, there is something for all developers and teams here.

Very little useful information.......2007-09-11

I am surprised to apparently be the only person to find this book disappointing. Let me go into the details.

Physical book.
I rarely comment on the physical book but I need to mention the bad printing. Many pictures and graphs in the book are not printed correctly. Instead they appear as gray rectangles.

Content.
The book is divided into three parts: an introduction, the Software Configuration Management (SCM) patterns, and appendices with information on SCM systems.

The introduction is a waste of paper. The author spends time defining concepts (such as 'organization') without bringing any insights to configuration management. I assume that part was written to fill in the book. You can safely skip it.

Some of the patterns are useful and nicely presented. The need for a mainline and how to branch before a release are the two that stand out. They are good advice. Unfortunately most patterns are not explained appropriately. For example, the author presents several patterns related to tests (unit tests, smoke tests, regression tests). The patterns explain why you would want to do those tests. The problem is that the author does not make the connection to configuration management. What are the best practices to integrate tests with SCM? The answer is not in the book.

The final part about the various SCM systems is again a filler with little usefulness.

There are several topics I wish had been included:
- Topology: how best to distribute the SCM system.
- Buddy builds: what are the best practices related to buddy builds, i.e., building before making a check-in.

I was looking forward to reading this book. Now that I have, I feel very much let down. The useful information could be contained in less than 10 pages.

Mileage working with software development teams .......2007-03-21

Objective, clear and simple. War stories told by a intellectually savvy trooper are not complex. They tell us about complex scenarios in a simple way. Field experience. It's what this book is all about. Not about procedures, but practices based on well known, or not so, patterns, for you to use with your teams to win your battles. It's up to you. Think about them. Use them wisely.
Sorry for the military metaphor but seemed to me appropriate.

Great resource for leads, managers, and build masters.......2006-10-18

There really aren't too many books that cover the subject of SCM and this one does a very good job of overviewing all the issues. Although he does give examples and opinions on different tools and platforms, the book is not written for any particular one. I especially like the fact that he is coming from a developer's perspective in the sense that the need for SCM has been brought upon him, like most of us, and it's not something he initially persued. Things like source control directory structure, versioning, builds, build policies, etc. are issues that are eventually dealt with by tech leads and/or tech managers but few usually have any formal experience with it. Anyone who has been in a small or large development shop knows how critical these issues are to the entire development process.

I also bought Build Master by Vincent Maraia which is also an excellent book but I felt that his position has always been specifically a build master and the book dealt with very large build projects that had dedicated teams. In constrast, Berczuk and Appleton's book is more broad so that a lone developer/manager assigned to the daunting tasks of setting up SCM environments can achieve this and have a general guide for holding down the fort.

Just the book that SCM needed.......2006-10-13

One of the most annoying things about Software Configuration Management is the amount of different terms that exist - especially when the refer to the same things! This seminal book helps address this challenge by identifying a set of readily consumable and well defined patterns. If you don't know your code mainline from your active development line, or how developer testing, building and integration are all linked together, then you need to read this book.

Book Description

The "Historical Dictionary of Eritrea" offers a uniquely comprehensive account of the history, culture, and leading personalities of Africa's newest independent nation. Due to the isolation and danger imposed by Eritrea's 30-year war for national independence, and the necessarily secretive operations of its guerrilla leaders, there has been a dearth of scholarship on most aspects of the new nation's history, and no comprehensive accounts of its people's long struggle for independence from Ethiopia. This book provides an in-depth review of Eritrean history from ancient times to the present, drawing on the author's wide scholarship in the field, including access to unpublished Eritrean sources, interviews with leading Eritrean political figures, field research conducted over more than fifteen years, and the perusal of early European, Egyptian, Turkish and Italian colonial sources. Of particular interest are the detailed biographies of Eritrea's current leaders and the leading figures in the long struggle for national liberation, most of which are unavailable in other publications. Further biographies of prominent historical figures and events provide equally scarce information. The histories of Eritrean towns and regions, economic developments, accounts of cultural practices, and the histories of Eritrea's diverse religious and ethnic groups add richness and depth to our knowledge of Eritrea. The "Historical Dictionary of Eritrea" provides a comprehensive account of the Eritrean nationalist struggle unequaled by the many specialized and frequently biased and inaccurate publications. The chronology, introduction and exhaustive bibliography add further resources for the student, scholar, aid worker, and diplomat, who will find this an indispensable resource for understanding contemporary Eritrea.

Beware typos ahead!!.......2007-06-25

I use three books at a time to study for the SAT II Biology exam. No review book is perfect; athlough, I would highly suggest buying a copy of Barron's. Until reaching page 85, I rather liked McGraw-Hill and thought that Barron's was getting a run for its money!! But seeing as though McGraw-Hill got the forumla for the Krebs Cycle wrong due to a typo, I have lost a lot of confidence. 2 NADH ARE NOT THE NET GAIN FROM KREBS PER PYRUVATE! IT IS 3!!! 2NADH per Pyruvate would leave us 6 ATP short! Not good!

Other than that rant, McGraw-Hill does give some good outside information and yet another perspective on Biology-something you really need when facing the exam!

Proceed with caution!

Disgraceful........2007-05-25

I am totally disgusted with this review book. I have been studying this review for a little over a week and I just cannot stand it anymore. I find a typo on every page, literally. The tests are both unrealistic and have the wrong answers printed in the back of the book. Additionally, there is no scoring guide to even gauge how well you are doing. Not that that would matter, because there is really no way to even find out which questions you got wrong in the first place. Truthfully, I feel more confused about biology now then when I started reading this mess.

Book is Full of Errors/Typos.......2006-06-03

Editors must've been napping on this one. The book is full of errors, typos, and many of the answers to the questions are placed incorrectly resulting in an absolutely frustrating experience for someone who is probably already suffering anxiety at having to take the SAT II to begin with. (I know it was for me). I suggest you buy a similar book from another publisher. Their editors messed up. When trying to take practice tests and determine how I'd do on the SAT II, I was confronted with answers for questions all jumbled, making me (at first glance) believe that I had repeatedly failed the practice exam and giving me no hope for the real test. (You can surely imagine how frustrating this was after all of the studying I had been doing!) Many questions also did not have supporting information in the review part, so there was no way to go back and look up something you might not understand and need to review again. Some of the answers given in the answer key were not backed up by the explanations and some of the explanations contradicted themselves so you kind of didn't really know if your answer was right or not, which doesn't help much. Please note that I'm an honors student with a very high average so it's not like I'm whining and just trying to blame the publishers. I just think that it's important for the book to HELP you study for the SAT II, not CONFUSE you. In short: this book helped only slightly, and I would NOT recommend it to anyone.
