very complete with citations.......2001-03-07

The professional edition is a hardcover copy of the regular edition plus a second professional section that includes an additional 100 pages or so of citations to the code, the regs, rev ruls, letter rulings and cases that support the text in the first section; this is very well done and very useful. for instance: in the main section 19.24 discusses Deductible Investment Expenses; if you want to know more, the professional section in the back refers you to IRC 212 and Reg. 1.212-1(b) and journal article that discusses the topic generally; then there are two columns of citations dealing with very specific topics in this category; for instance, on the topic of deductions for investor's home office expenses it refers to IRC 280A and Joseph Moller, 721 F.2d 810 (fed. Cir. 1983).

Then there are an additional 100 pages or so of narrative on tax authorities, praciticing before the IRS and preparing returns for estates. Overall, very useful.

Make sure it's a reference you want, not a tutorial.......2001-03-01

This book IS a reference. The author assumes you already know how to do your basic return and he means this by barely giving any introduction. The author wants to help maximize your deductions by having you reference individual sections on how to report those deductions. It's massive and it contains all kinds of tips on what to do on your return under certain conditions. It follows this type of convention: 6.21 Reporting Gambling Losses or 7.5 Deducting Mortgage Interest. Therefore you don't read this book front to back, and people filing 1040EZ's or (unless it's complex) perhaps a 1040A won't use very much of this book, only certain parts relevant to them.

This book has some great information. I located where I needed to send my return in a matter of seconds with this book as opposed to the IRS pamphlet which I still haven't found the address. In addition, it creates a great, one-page table to help you decide what return to file (1040, A, or EZ). It was the first thing I had seen that conclusively summed up exactly which one I should file.

In a one sentence summary, if you are dead set on doing your own taxes, the more complex your taxes are, the more you will use this reference book.

A great reference but not for complete idiots.......2001-01-04

This is one the best tax guides and will assist in clarifying any tax questions you may have. You can easily navigate the book and zero in on the sections to help you figure out how much you owe and even how to reduce your total tax bill. The recommendations here have been right on target and I'm glad I bought this book. This book has helped me understand the somewhat incomprehensible tax laws. The layout of the book is nicely done with large easy to read print. The table of contents is a great starting place and while the book is not intended for the complete idiot, ANYONE with a modicum of intelligence should find the book easy to use. You will find the volume to be large and very comprehensive ( as it should be ) and a great value considering amount of information contained within those pages. I have used this book every year and as my situation has grown from simply to more complicated this book has always provided me with the necessary information. Whether you are single, married or own a business, I recommend the book. It is very fortunate that this classic series exists -- I guess thats why its the #1 guide to understanding taxes.

Disturbing.......2000-11-22

This may be the best guide to taxes, but I'm still baffled. All I want to know is what do I owe and how to minimize it. I bought this book on the recommendations here and I'm greatly disappointed. Of course, this is probably due to the incomprehensible tax laws in this country, but I think this could be organized much better. 700+ pages is overkill and tries to address every possible twist you might see. How about a chapter that represents the "average" working class American, 1 house, 2.5 kids, etc. If this really is the best guide to understanding taxes, we're all doomed.

Paperback Edition 2000 Jk Lasser.......2000-06-26

It's the best value for the money. It's very concise and you can find your topic quickly. I will continue to use it in the future as I have in the past 12 years.

Book Description

They began operations out of England in the spring of ’43. They flew their “Flying Fortresses” almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the “Bloody Hundredth” a legend.

Harry Crosby arrived with the very first crews. After dealing with his fear and acquiring skill and confidence, he was promoted to Group Navigator, surviving hairbreadth escapes and eluding death while leading thirty-seven missions, some of them involving two thousand aircrafts, he left with the very last. Now in a breathtaking and often humorous account, he takes his readers into the hearts and minds of the intrepid airmen to experience the heart-stopping emotions, the triumph and the white-knuckle terror of the war in the skies in a riveting, unforgettable book destined to become a classic.

Being there.......2005-04-04

Harry captures it all. Being a navigator in one of the most colorful bomber groups of the 8th Air Force in WWII, (if not the most colorful.) Harry is there as an original crewmember of the Bloody Hundredth. In a time where your life expectancy was 8 missions and you had to fly 25... Harry's a one off, what a story, what a history. Should be mandatory reading for anyone who claims to be American.. Well done.

One of the best accounts of the Air War in Europe.......2003-07-16

Harry Crosby's account of the 100th Bomb Group and the air war against Naze Germany from mid-1943 till the end is one of the most informative and thoughtful memoirs of those dark days. Crosby relates many stories in his accounts, of his own experiences as a navigator, of the impact that Curtis LeMay and other group commanders had on combat techniques, of the sometimes touchy relationships between AAF personnel and their British hosts, and some thoughtful observations of the nature of war and the overall bombing campaign.

Crosby with a degree in English and considerable writing experience writes lucid, stripped-down prose, and his accounts of navigating under difficult circumstances brought a reality than few other accounts--written mainly by former pilots--have done. His story of an early mission to Trondheim, in Norway, is a gem of the navigator's problems--of unexpected cloud cover, of flying over Norway where, as Hobler put it, one fjiord from the air looks like another, and the element of luck and chance in any mission. As a WWII navigator in the Pacific, these types of details were welcome, as was his understanding of the "place" of navigator's in the AAF pecking order. When I was informed in December 1945 that I was on a preferred list of those to man the postwar Air Force, I politely declined knowing that navigators would be highly unlikely to advance at the rate of pilots. (I did, however, remain the reserves for 20 years}.

What comes through most clearly, however, was the terrible losses that the 8th suffered in its campaign against Germany's manufacturing capacity and infrastructure, and of the courage and perseverence of those who served. The 100th BG, for example, arrived in midyear, 1943, with 35 crews; only one intact crew completed 25 missions, though a few other crew members from crews broken up because of casualities and other reasons also survived. Was it worth it? Did the damage done justify the loss in life, not only of the air crews but also those of German civilians and others killed by the raids. Crosby is a bit ambilavent--he joined the anti-war movement in the 1960s. Nonetheless, no one can take away from the aircrews, and those who did not return, their courage and belief that they were part of a grand but terrible endeavor to bring the war to an end and of the demented policies of Hitler and his Nazi cohorts . May they rest in peace.

Great story of the air war over Europe.......2001-03-29

Harry Crosby was a navigator in the 100th Bomb Group in World War II. He was one of the original members of the 100th, a bomb group that, because it ventured into battle with less training than groups preceding it, and because of its unenviable position flying in the lower part of the formation on many missions, suffered heavy losses and became known as "The Bloody Hundredth". Crosby uses his obvious skill as a student of the English language to recreate the drama, the humor, and the terror of flying B-17's out of East Anglia in the war. He describes many of the historic missions flown by the 8th Air Force as an eyewitness. I have read the book several times and it is good history as well as a good study of human beings and the stresses they face daily in war. I highly recommend this book.

Definitive account of the airwar........1999-06-15

Find a copy of this book somewhere, it is well worth the extra effort. Only the new WWII airwar novel, The Triumph and the Glory, moved me as much as Crosby's epic tale of the 100th Bomb Group

Outstanding and humbling.......1998-11-20

This book is real, deep and insightful. I find myself in awe of the personal courage of the men who ventured over Festung Europa during the darkest days of 1943 and early 1944. I read and reread this book whenever I need inspiration to face daunting and/or painful circumstances. I really wish that it was back in print.

Book Description

Richard Semon was a German evolutionary biologist who wrote, during the first decade of the twentieth century, two fascinating analyses of the workings of human memory which were ahead of their time. Although these have been virtually unknown to modern researchers, Semon's work has been rediscovered during the past two decades and has begun to have an influence on the field. This book not only examines Semon's contribution to memory research, but also tells the story of an extraordinary life set against the background of a turbulent period in European history and major developments in science and evolutionary theory. The resulting book is an engaging blend of biographical, historical and psychological material. Through the remarkable story of an almost forgotten German biologist, this fascinating book addresses not only key questions in memory research but also wide-ranging and substantive issues in the history and psychology of science.

Book Description

Olga Benario, German and Jewish, was one of the most remarkable Communist activists of the twentieth century. Blessed with a genius for organization, the beautiful, willful Olga crisscrossed the globe educating and activating legions to combat the worldwide plagues of Nazism and fascism. At the age of nineteen, she masterminded a daring prison raid to free her then-lover, the Communist intellectual Otto Braun. Together they escaped to Moscow, where they quickly rose in the ranks of the international Communist movement. At twenty-six, she was chosen to serve as bodyguard to the legendary Brazilian Communist guerrilla leader Luis Carlos Prestes, who had been brought to Moscow for training and would soon become her lover. Using assumed names, they traveled to Brazil, where Prestes launched a revolution against the Fascist regime. Within months, they were seized by police. After six months of tirelessly continuing her activism from within Brazilian prisons, Olga, seven months pregnant, was classified as extremely dangerous and deported to Nazi Germany. In February of 1942, she died in the gas chambers at Bernburg. This book has been reissued to coincide with a new film adaptation by the producers of "City of God."

Book Description

1930. From the Introduction: Some years ago I heard a famous English novelist who had just dined with Mr. Hanley exclaim impulsively: If only I could remain for awhile in Oregon and study that man, I would have material for a book that the whole world would read! She couldn't arrange it; but her words burned in my brain. I took upon myself the role of Boswell, and began collecting his utterances. Also I have come into possession of jottings made by him through his later years at the close of days among his cattle and horses and birds on his great ranches, and in the thick of men in busy city streets, concerning things a man may think but seldom speak; sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, always deeply penetrating, and at times so poetically beautiful that I have had to pause in awe before the scribbled sentence found on the back of an envelope, on a telegram blank, on a hotel bill-any scrap of paper across which the stub of a pencil chanced to travel.
