                          Chapter 14 of the Code contains its own set of "special valuation rules" for transfer tax purposes that you must know in order to most effectively meet your clients' estate-planning needs. This in-depth resource guides you through the complex rules, regulations and exemptions of Chapter 14 provisions regarding transfers of interests in trusts, corporations, and partnerships. You'll find authoritative analyses of various provisions of Chapter 14, practice tips, step-by-step advice on valuation of family-held interests, the impact of landmark court rulings, relevant private letter rulings, legislative history and much more. Among the topics covered are the tax implications of transfer of interest in family-held business, GRITs, GRATs, GRUTs, QPRTs, buy-sell agreements, the tax treatment of lapsed voting or liquidation rights and certain restrictions on liquidation. The analyses include adjustments to avoid double taxation, indirect holding of interests and statute of limitations considerations. This complete guide also contains practical appendices illustrating the subtraction method of valuation, the impact of increasing age, term or interest rate on the value of different types of gifts in trust, and state-by-state analyses of partnership and LLC statutes to aid in the selection of an appropriate jurisdiction for the creation of a family business entity. Invaluable advice for all estate planners.

                            3 out of 5 stars Nice to know.......2007-04-23

                            This book contains more than five dozen articles each describing some chemical substance, how it was discovered and how it became useful. All interesting and many clearly explained. Each piece of knowledge, however, is encased long texts straining to be funny. Any trick, preferably cute, is acceptable if it seems it will make the reader smile. Thus, chapters with titles such as "Oil You Need to Know" or "Willow Power", little anecdotes, references to famous names, closely or not associated with subject at hand. So much extraneous material weighs heavily on the final text. If the reader is patient and has little else to do, this may the book, if he is also interested in chemistry.

                            5 out of 5 stars Facinating stories on everyday chemistry.......2006-03-02

                            This is not a typical chemistry book. Dr. Schwarcz has several interesing stories such at the background of Thalidomide and the origin of the term "snake oil". About half the book is on food and health related topics. It's a fast read and should be interesting to anyone interested in science, health or history. The Dr. has his own radio show on science so the topics are designed to entertain a wide audience. The commentaries are short and make sense in any order. I liked is so much I'm planning on reading one of Dr. Schwarcz's other collections of commentaries.

                            5 out of 5 stars A brief but enjoyable walk through Chemistry.......2006-01-29

                            Here is a book for everyone who has a natural scientific curiosity - a well-written and entertaining look at the chemistry of everyday life. Dr. Schwarz has taken Chemistry, food and magic tricks and rolled them all together in order to create an entertaining read.

                            To name just a few of the topics covered.

                            While cooking peas- how can you make them more GREEN - and why does it work

                            The chemical benefits of flax seed oil

                            Why magicians can NOT bend things with thought power alone.

                            The history of Mercury poisoning

                            Why things are "hot" to taste and how this can be used against bugs


                            As you can see the list of topics is both broad and entertaining. Amazingly, Dr. Schwarz does not get us caught up in very in-depth chemical equations/reactions. This is book written for someone with scientific curiosity not necessary a Masters in Science!

                            I definitely recommend "The Genie in the Bottle" - and I also give it as an endorsement to be used as bed time stories to your children, for it is these types of short essays on chemistry that may spark the love of the sciences in your child!

                            4 out of 5 stars Fun book, enjoyable book, but not relevant to my needs..........2005-11-27

                            I am teach chemistry 110 and beginning lab classes for chemistry in our local community college. As my background is mainly in human biology and neuroscience, I've been boning up some on my chemistry, even though I took like ten chemistry classes. One thing I've noticed is especially in teaching three hour classes for chemistry, is the students tend to start going into daze mode about half way between. It ends up being too much scientific information given through textbooks too boringly. I've always used history of science to make things more interesting...for example, when we get into the making of the atom bomb, I tell them about the mission made into Norway in WWII to bomb the Nazi's only site of heavy water (Hydrogen with a neutron in the nucleus) to be used to make their own bombs. At least for the guys, this manages to perk things up...for the girls it is a little bit harder to find information that is relevant to them now and to their future jobs which for most of them will be nursing.

                            This book was recommended to me, and though it deserves a five for fun reading and good writing, it didn't have exactly what I was looking for. I think I had more in mind a book with the periodical chart of the chemicals and interesting stories going through the chart...that wasn't the case with this book. There are some stories I can use in there, especially on acetone, and I always use stories where doctors use themselves as guinea pigs, or stories of really stupid stunts done in the name of science just for a laugh. Schwarcz obviously has made a living out of collecting this stuff...I'm pretty sure I saw him either on PBS or Discovery channel once with some physicists who were doing things along the same line.

                            Science doesn't need to be mind-numbingly boring, yet so many teachers make it that way, even in college. In college so much emphasis is placed on the math, that the cool part of chemistry gets lost in the student's mind as they stumble through just trying to pass the tests. When that happens you know the students haven't learned a thing and are going to forget this stuff as soon as they leave the room. The bigwigs in education, at the NSF and the NIH wonder why American kids are doing poorly in science...well, the textbooks are often not only badly written...they often have wrong information, with wrong problems and wrong answers in them from proofreading done incorrectly. In the press to test, we leave out the necessary component of 'learning', and in order to learn, the information must be given in the right manner.

                            This book is definitely a keeper, and I will use it, and I am hoping I get guided to some more books more along the line I was looking for...

                            If you would like to know what the things around you are made of, read Joe Schwarcz' entertaining books. He warns you of real hazards and make you laugh at our silly notions about every day things we all take for granted. Great for your junior high student. They might become scientists or engineers!

                                Book Description

                                Inverse scattering theory has been a particularly active and successful field in applied mathematics and engineering for the past twenty years. The increasing demands of imaging and target identification require new powerful and flexible techniques besides the existing weak scattering approximation or nonlinear optimization methods. One class of such methods comes under the general description of qualitative methods in inverse scattering theory. This textbook is an easily-accessible "class-tested" introduction to the field. It is accessible also to readers who are not professional mathematicians, thus making these new mathematical ideas in inverse scattering theory available to the wider scientific and engineering community.

                                  Book Description

                                  The emergence of modern physics in the first three decades of the 20th century was accompanied by a loss of determinism. That loss is embodied in the Copenhagen interpretation and the theory of relativity. The development of physics-based technologies, both constructive and destructive, occurred shortly thereafter at so dizzying a rate that scientists rarely took a critical look at the logical foundations of the Copenhagen interpretation and the theory of relativity, or at the consequences of the loss of determinism.

                                  This book contains a dialogue between a physicist and a philosopher on that issue. The dialogue is strongly contextualized with respect to the main players in physics during the first sixty years of the 20th century, and to the prevailing political conditions in Western Europe and the USA. It was galvanized by the debate and the subsequent abandonment of the Superconducting Super Collider, and also affords a lively understanding of Greek epistemology. Questioned by the philosopher, the physicist provides an account of the directions taken by physicists and the roads not traveled, as well as his own understanding of the nature of matter.

                                  For years, things have run quite smoothly for Perdita and her organic gardening business. So what if her hair needs a complete overhaul, her sweater has more holes than Swiss cheese, and there's no hope of a boyfriend on the horizon? The last thing Perdita wants is a meddlesome man in her life-but she's about to get one, in the form of her completely infuriating ex-husband, Lucas.

                                  Lucas in disagreeable, curt, arrogant, and smolderingly gorgeous. He's also the new chef at Grantly House, Perdita's number-one customer. Worse, Mr. Grantly has the insane idea of starting a television cooking show that will put Lucas and Perdita together as "The Gourmet and the Gardener."

                                  Now, things are heating up in the kitchen--and elsewhere. With the bright lights blazing and old feelings stirring the pot, it could be a recipe for disaster...or absolute delight.

                                  A very real down to earth female and her believable pals and circumstances in a good story showing that a good dose of humor along with forgiveness and love can result in a happy ending.

                                  3 out of 5 stars Not my favorite Fforde.......2005-09-24

                                  Overall this was a pleasant enough read. The author makes it obvious to the reader what to expect, but that doesn't take away the charm of the story.

                                  I like Fforde's female protagonists because they are a strong bunch - no wilting flower among them.

                                  Only thing I would gripe about was that this particular novel went on about 100 pages too long. Otherwise, it was a lovely story about commitment to friendship, evaluating one's self, and being open to possibilities.

                                  3 out of 5 stars OK but slow-moving and uneven.......2005-03-28

                                  Without trying to give away too much plot, it should be obvious to those who haven't read it that Perdida and Lucas do get together in the end. It was understandable that she is hostile to him when he re-appears, but she continues with it long after he gets over their past and actually displays genuine concern. That was annoying.
                                  My other problem was with Roger, Kitty's long-lost nephew. Perdida goes on and on about how certain she is that he'll inherit everything, even though Kitty continues to consider her as a "daughter" - not for a nanosecond did I ever believe that she would change her will to significantly alter the provisions (esp regarding the land Perdida uses for her business). Kitty even hints (a couple of times) that she isn't all that impressed with Roger. That aspect of the story was downright depressing. I'm not a shrink, but Perdida was displaying classic symptoms of depression and paranoia (to me at least) while Lucas and the doctor were concerned that she *might* have a breakdown soon?
                                  This is an entertaining enough book, although it wasn't a fast read for me. I did the unabridged audio and found myself only being able to take it in small pieces as it is character-driven; there really isn't a whole lot of plot.

                                  5 out of 5 stars Food and gardening, a wonderful combination.......2004-12-11

                                  I don't normally read contemporary romances but was recommended Fforde by a little old lady on a tour. If this is what she's like, I'll gladly buy all her books.
                                  I liked all the characters and hope Fforde will consider sequels for the others in the story. I was simply moved by the Perdita & Kitty thread, and the romance bit isn't that in-your-face but does grow on you.
                                  All in all, wonderful.

                                  5 out of 5 stars An enjoyable read with likeable characters.......2004-10-10

                                  OK, this isn't going to win the Booker Prize, but I found this book charming and absorbing. It's basically a romance but the main female character (Perdita) is likeable and not sitting around waiting for Prince Charming. I don't normally like romances but this book has much more substance and quality than the average romance.

                                  Heroine Perdita has a life of her own already and is not looking for a man. She has a small organic gardening business and loves what she does even if she's not going to get rich doing it. Perdita's ex-husband Lucas walks back into her life. Perdita and Lucas had been married a number of years ago when Perdita was still in her teens; he left her for another woman and broke her heart. He's the new gourmet chef at a restaurant that she supplies -- she delivers vegetables there everyday. There is the predictable sexual tension between the two (she's attracted sexually but still mad at him), but it's all done so well you don't really care if it's predictable. Being set in an English village added to the charm, as does Perdita's loving relationship with the delightful 80-something "Aunt" Kitty, who has more or less raised her.

                                  This is the first book I've read by this author -- I'm looking forward to reading more and hope they're as good.

                                    When Phillida Dylan, 28, delivers baby vegetables to one of her regular clients and finds that her ex-husband, Lucas, has become the chef, she is horrified -- more so when she learns he is to become the latest celebrity chef and needs her picturesque, if primitive cottage, and her, in supporting roles. Phillida’s life is further complicated when Kitty, her 87-year-old friend and support, has a stroke. Is Lucas really such a villain? Can she cope with all this alone, or is Kitty right when she tells her, “You can’t cuddle lettuces. The result is a deliciously funny and captivating read.
