    Book Description

    Forms, checklists, and step-by-step instructions for choosing and implementing an ESOP

    Financial officers need to know how to compare an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) with other comparable plans and how to effectively present an ESOP proposal to corporate executives. ESOP Workbook: The Ultimate Instrument in Succession Planning is designed to help the corporate owner, financial officer, CPA, and attorney determine if an ESOP is appropriate for meeting a company's objectives and, if so, how to successfully implement a suitable ESOP.

    The Workbook's step-by-step use of forms and checklists shows the financial officer how to judge the feasibility of installing an ESOP versus other qualified or nonqualified plans or approaches. Divided into three sections-- Decision Stage, Valuation and Financing Stage, and Transaction Stage-- the Workbook answers such questions as:

    Once a suitable plan is chosen, the Workbook then guides readers through the entire implementation process.

    The Workbook also contains useful information for financial advisors and life insurance agents who need to know about ESOPs for their business. Valuable as a supplement to ESOP: The Ultimate Instrument in Succession Planning or as an independent resource, the ESOP Workbook is a one-stop practical guide for CPAs, attorneys, CFOs, and owners of private and public companies.

            Book Description

            High rates of divorce, often taken to be a modern and western phenomenon, were also typical of medieval Islamic societies. By pitting these high rates of divorce against the Islamic ideal of marriage,Yossef Rapoport radically challenges usual assumptions about the legal inferiority of Muslim women and their economic dependence on men. He argues that marriages in late medieval Cairo, Damascus and Jerusalem had little in common with the patriarchal models advocated by jurists and moralists. The transmission of dowries, women’s access to waged labour, and the strict separation of property between spouses made divorce easy and normative, initiated by wives as often as by their husbands. This carefully researched work of social history is interwoven with intimate accounts of individual medieval lives, making for a truly compelling read. It will be of interest to scholars of all disciplines concerned with the history of women and gender in Islam.

                                        Long before there was Jeeves, P.G. Wodehouse wrote hilarious comic novels about upper-class British characters, including Ukridge, who never quite comes to grip with reality. Ukridge contacts his old friend, Jeremy Garnet (who has been trying to avoid him), with a smashing idea--to start a chicken farm. Just borrow some chickens, have them lay eggs, raise the chicks, and off you go. Things are going fine until Garnet sees a lovely young lady who is reading one of his novels. He is immediately smitten, and the complications begin. A terrific book from a master of British comedy. This publication from Boomer Books is specially designed and typeset for comfortable reading.

It was not so much that you sympathised and encouraged - where you really came out strong was that you gave me the stuff. I like people who sympathise with me. I am grateful to those who encourage me. But the man to whom I raise the Wodehouse hat - owing to the increased cost of living, the same old brown one I had last year - it is being complained of on all sides, but the public must bear it like men till the straw hat season comes round - I say, the man to whom I raise this venerable relic is the man who gives me the material. Sixteen years ago, my William, when we were young and spritely lads; when you were a tricky centre-forward and I a fast bowler; when your head was covered with hair and my list of "Hobbies" in Who's Who included Boxing; I received from you one morning about thirty closely-written foolscap pages, giving me the details of your friend ---'s adventures on his Devonshire chicken farm. Round these I wove as funny a plot as I could, but the book stands or falls by the stuff you gave me about "Ukridge" - the things that actually happened.

                                        4 out of 5 stars A good book for Wodehouse fans.......2007-08-26

                                        P.G. Wodehouse's writing is like watching a favorite movie. You know what's going to happen, but it's a fun ride.

                                        This book was written well before the Jeeves and Wooster series, but I can already see the beginnings of that kind of interplay in this book between Garnet and Ukridge. Wodehouse gives us the same comedy of manners he would become famous for in later years. Ukridge is hatching his scheme, spending money he doesn't have, and leaving Garnet holding the bag. It all works out in the end, as all of Wodehouse's stories do.

                                        For fans of Ukridge, certain parts of this book may puzzle. For one thing, the straight man is Garnet, not Corky. Ukridge is also married in this novel. The later stories were prequels to this one, thus the differences.

                                        For fans of Wodehouse, this is a nice book. For people getting introduced to his writing, I would suggest Jeeves and Wooster before this.

                                        4 out of 5 stars A step back in time... in word and deeds (">.......2007-02-14

                                        I happened upon this interesting book as I was simply searching "Chicken" titles and I have to say I am pleased with this story overall.

                                        The setting is semi-rural, back in the 1920's and the terms used in what was then "modern english" at times required this reader to ponder the roots of their use?

                                        For my part, I was looking for a great story about the early handling of poultry, specifically chickens... though this is touched upon in several locations, the focus is of course, on the interaction between classes and personality types.

                                        It is to be a love story, but I felt that the author failed to adequately develop the focul relationship adequately, though the issues with other characters are wonderfully described.

                                        Poultry Folk, like myself, will see early on, the folly in the way central characters handle their not-so-proffitable chicken venture. I was impressed that the author took the time to accurately name specific breeds which are well known today.

                                        I found the book very enjoyable overall, but was left wanting in the end, as the author seemed to simply wrap things up in a not-so-tidy package?

                                        So, not the best chicken book... characters not adequately developed for the reader and the central love-affair... well, I simply didn't "feel" it.

                                        Worth a few chuckles and nicely bound by the way. (Hard Back Version)

                                        4 out of 5 stars Early Wodehouse Is Silly Fun.......2007-01-11

                                        Not his very best, but still very amusing. Title says all about the plot: boy meets girl among chickens, boy loses girl among chickens, boy wins girl among chickens. A quick read, under-plotted by Wodehouse's later standards.

                                        NOTE: This, and all Wodehouse's early stuff (20 or 30 years' worth!), is available in its entirety online! For free!

                                        4 out of 5 stars A treat for fans.......2006-11-10

                                        A newly married Ukridge tackles the pitfalls of poultry farming: early Wodehouse with some hilarious moments foreshadowing his masterful maturity. Funny characters and delightful passages will brighten any Plum-lover's day. A valiant effort by Kessinger Publishing (reprinting hard-to-find material), but the manuscript-like booklet has an amateurish feel.

                                        3 out of 5 stars Weak first grown-up novel.......2006-06-11

                                        This is Wodehouse's first novel for grown-ups, though only available in an edition revised years later. It's better-plotted than his earlier schoolboy novels, and shows some hints of his later genius, but only hints. Wodehouse uses some of his signature plot devices, but he uses them here without irony, unlike in his mature work. (I sometimes suspect that Wodehouse's later work parodies his early work.) Oddly, though Ukridge is supposedly based on a real person, he is one of Wodehouse's most implausible characters, generally acting preposterously merely to advance the plot. The style is quite good, though, so I suspect that the 1920 version was fairly thorough rewrite of the 1906 original, a point on which there is some dispute. (The reference to Maxim Gorky, Trotsky, and Lenin in chapter 10 seems unlikely to have been written in 1906, for example.)

                                                  Book Description

                                                  Long before there was Jeeves, P.G. Wodehouse wrote hilarious comic novels about upper-class British characters, including Ukridge, who never quite comes to grip with reality. Ukridge contacts his old friend, Jeremy Garnet (who has been trying to avoid him), with a smashing idea--to start a chicken farm. Just borrow some chickens, have them lay eggs, raise the chicks, and off you go. Things are going fine until Garnet sees a lovely young lady who is reading one of his novels. He is immediately smitten, and the complications begin. A terrific book from a master of British comedy. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

                                                  5 out of 5 stars Great Romantic Fun!.......2007-03-08

                                                  Long before there were Jeeves and Gally, P.G. Wodehouse was writing excellent comic novels about the foibles of the English upper classes. A number of these novels were built around the humorous character of Ukridge, a sort of beautiful dreamer who wanders about above the fray of dealing with reality. I recently read a fine companion book about Mr. Wodehouse's novels and realized that I had missed some fine early examples. Love Among the Chickens beckoned to me and I'm glad it did.

                                                  It can be expensive to know Ukridge. He'll invite you out to dinner, discover he has no funds, borrow the funds from you and never pay you back. Needless to say, friends try to avoid him.

                                                  Jeremy Garnet, the striving novelist, has successfully avoided his old school chum for some time when bad luck causes Ukridge to find Garnet's address. Soon, Ukridge is found barreling through the door along with the new Mrs. Ukridge to invite Garnet to the shore to co found an entrepreneurial enterprise, a chicken farm. In Ukridge's eyes, this is a made-to-order money machine. You borrow some chickens, raise some of your own, return the original chickens and your bounty expands from there. Naturally, neither Ukridge nor Garnet have the slightest knowledge or experience about raising chickens to lay eggs.

                                                  On the way to the shore, Garnet sees a lovely young woman who's reading one of his novels. He's immediately smitten, and the complications begin. Without a Jeeves to help him, things go downhill rather rapidly . . . interspaced with modest rallies.

                                                  You will enjoy some of the most humorous views of a new chicken farm that you can imagine with this book. What makes it even more delightful is that the book's dedication to Bill Townsend in 1920 (to the second edition) makes it clear that the book has nonfiction roots in the real-life adventures of Bill's friend on his Devonshire chicken farm.

                                                  Like most Wodehouse novels, little time is wasted in building humor and romantic possibilities. Enjoy!
