Book Description
In response to market demand,
Principles of Taxation Advanced Strategies was developed to provide coverage of advanced tax topics. This book is ideal for students who studied Jones, Principles of Taxation for Business and Investment Planning in their introductory course. The two textbooks provide an integrated two-semester sequence of topics that represent a complete educational package for tax students. Nevertheless, Advanced Strategies is written in a self-contained manner. While its approach is consistent with Principles, the technical content builds on knowledge that students should know from their introductory tax course, regardless of the textbook used. Advanced Strategies explores the tax consequences of many sophisticated business, financial, and personal wealth-planning transactions. Each transaction is presented in an economic or legal context, and the non-tax motives of the transacting parties are examined before the tax issues are identified. The discussion of tax issues emphasizes the development and implementation of strategies to make transactions as tax efficient as possible to all parties involved. Many of the tax strategies are analyzed in terms of their impact on net cash flows and on the income statements and balance sheets of the transacting parties.

Customer Reviews:
Very good basic book--not much more.......2007-05-07
If you are looking for a good basic book on this topic, this one is fine. It offers good introductory information about coaching in general and NLP. It's easy reading and offers some excellent resources at the end (over 40 pages of resources). About half of the book is on Coaching and the other half is about NLP. If, on the other hand, you are looking for something more sophisticated on the topic, this book is a little light. A better choice would be Ian McDermott's/Wendy Jago's The NLP Coach. It's not as easy to read, but it's much more comprehensive and useful to understand how to use NLP in coaching. I also think even the book "NLP for Dummies" is better.
Excellent resource for NLP Practitioners.......2007-03-13
Excellent resource for anyone practicing NLP. The book is setup in logical and useable manner and covers a very good set of NLP tools, with detailed explanations.
In the beginning, NLP tools are introduced and explained... and later very detailed explanations of the methodology and use of NLP techniques for all levels of understanding, from NLP beginners to NLP experts.
Worth the reading.......2004-10-25
A lot of grids and methodology, usefull key-points and questions... The NLP techniques are poor and over-simplified in the book, but if you are already trained in NLP, you'll find a usefull guide on how to use your knowledge in Coaching.
Book Description
Learn to Coach with Your Spirit This book helps readers increase their awareness and personal responsibility using a process that defines both spiritual growth and self-discovery through coaching. As the author explains, coaching with Spirit is an integrative, intuitive, creative, and trustful connection and those that coach with Spirit are better able to serve their clients by helping them obtain desired results and increase well-being. Throughout the book, Teri-E Belf, named as one of the ten most influential coaches by readers of Professional Coach magazine, suggests helpful methods for integrating Spirit into coaching practices, presents reflections and applications for both beginning and seasoned coaches, and shows how to increase communications skills. The book includes myriad exercises, activities, points for reflection, assessments, tools, and techniques for learning to coach with Spirit.
Customer Reviews:
Where did your spiritual base go? .......2007-07-01
I picked up this book hoping to find a resource to assist me in helping others. I wasn't able to finish the book, perhaps because I understand spirituality at a deeper level than the author appears to have ever been. It is interesting to notice the author's mean spirited response to the sole critical review of her work. Perhaps Cathy is the only person who doesn't personally know the author to put in a review. A spiritually based person would not respond to a critical review in such a narrow minded way. She even attacked the person's character because of misspellings. Where did your spiritual base go?
A good introduction to coaching with spirit.......2007-04-08
The problem with most coaching books and trainings is that they work at one level - the mental. They're designed around a framework of setting and achieving goals and are totally unaware of the larger context within which we live and don't address the levels where the real juice and power is, the emotional, spiritual and physical. In that sense they're not holistic. I've found really good books and trainings on coaching hard to find, which is why I initially picked this book up a few years ago.
It's a good book, one that contributes to the overall picture. I don't consider it to be a book that stands alone as a guide to coaching, as something like 'Co-Active Coaching' may be (which I used in my training). The coaching field is still relatively young and so what most people are doing is putting together pieces from here and there (usually according to their own personal worldview and biases) so it's difficult to get a true holistic framework or picture. I was lucky to have a coach trainer from another school who has a totally different perspective, one that really questions the whole transformational model. He says many people that use the transformational type methods cannot tell you what or how they do it, they just chalk it up to spirit or intuition or that 'it's part of the process' etc. and everything in that sense happens in a black box. And also, by using transformational methods, particularly when you're unaware of much of your own stuff (e.g. many coaches have an unconscious need to transform people - so they won't allow them to be who they are - from the coach's perspective, how would you be if you worked with someone for 10 or 20 weeks and they achieved 'nothing'?) you can take a client to places they could never get to on their own through an altered state process and from that place they may make decisions, e.g. leaving jobs etc, that they never would have made on their own at that time, decisions that can have sometimes really devastating impact on their lives. The 'transformational' coach though chalks this up to being part of the client's 'process', all the while being unaware of their own unconscious beliefs, needs and ways of operating. While I haven't agreed totally with what he says I do now look at books and trainings in a more critical way and can see that much of what is being taught, including spirit type coaching is not well grounded. Moreover, few coaches have done deep self awareness training and modalities BEFORE they learn the toolkit of coaching - and so see coaching as something you do to someone. In this field, it's very hard to find really conscious mentors, authors and trainers, something which I only woke up to after many years of trainings, workshops and teachers. So that is the context within which I write this review.
The book itself focuses on coaching with spirit. While it does offer a broad frame for doing that, it's contributions are from a variety of authors with different backgrounds (and therefore vastly different levels of awareness, training, experience, worldviews etc.). Initially I thought this was a major downside - it's not going to be a cohesive whole but just a patchwork of ideas. To some extent though, it's the book's strength because you're getting many different views, tips and perspectives.
I would use and recommend using the book along the lines of take what works and leave the rest. From that perspective there are many tools, perspectives and ideas in the book that are valuable. (Obviously what I consider valuable may not be for someone else). For me, often it's the little things and ideas that can be powerful, like discussions of the 'dip' that often occurs in the coaching relationship (with the client or the coach) and how others have addressed that. There are also a lot of reflections questions in the book that will have you considering issues of importance to your effectiveness and how you coach at a much deeper level. These are quite useful also.
The book covers the relationship between coaching and spirituality using the following areas - connecting with the Self, connecting with the client, connecting with the whole, the present moment and responsibility. There good chapters on marketing coaching with spirit and executive coaching. There are a few assessments in the book, some of which you may use, others you may find less useful. The book is based on the many author's experience (and obviously their training and influences), some NLP, touches of the New Sciences and ideas from therapy the wisdom of the elements. The real value though is in many of the tools, questions and perspectives that you can use and some of the reflections which will get you thinking more deeply about your practice. It's solid book, a part of the picture, just not the whole picture... the book which describes that I've not yet come across.
All the best with your coaching practice.
Coaching Bliss.......2002-12-10
This book is pure coaching bliss. I am a new spiritual coach and I found this book to be the perfect step to my next level as a coach. The wonderful passages about being quiet and allowing spirit in were very important for me. The many examples of real coaching experiences allowed me to understand how to invite spirit in. This book can't help but shift the way we coach, I reached a new level of joy just reading it and I know my coaching has shifted as a result. Open your heart to this extraordinary book.
Practical and Profound.......2002-12-02
Teri-E Belf has written a book both practical and profound - filled with proven principles and real-life experiences, shared by experienced coaches and people whose lives have been touched and transformed by coaching. Belf goes beyond coaching techniques (although these abound as well) to the heart of the matter - how insights and transformation can occur in big and small ways when Spirit is allowed to lead. I have rarely read a book with so much excellent practical advice that is so unabashedly focused on what really matters - helping people find personal purpose, meaning and connection in their lives. I highly recommend this to coaches and to all managers and professionals who are interested in helping people achieve their fullest potential.
A different perspective.......2002-11-24
The review from Cathy misinterprets the phrase, 'accepting clients unconditionally.' I am the strongest advocate for avoiding bogus feedback, having published an article to this very point. www.successunlimitednet.com/articles.
I train coaches to provide acKNOWledgement that offers clients a chance to KNOW themselves better, not feel good, or bad. Feeling is not relevant to acknowledgement.
Furthermore the reviewer mispells my name twice and that is consistant with her review. Apparently she skipped large sections and details that would have clarified my perspective. I value different opinions, not inaccurate representations.

Coaching with Spirit: Allowing Success to Emerge
Teri-E Belf

Product Description
The age of the outside expert and external consultant is yielding to the evolution of individual empowerment. As people seek their own answers to life s greatest questions, they rely less on external reinforcements and are turning inward to find personal authenticity and authority. As this inner journey is taken into the land of spirit, some will want a companion along one who knows the trials and pitfalls, but who also knows the reasons and rewards for such a journey. Energetic Coaches are called to be such companions. The innate intelligence of the individual and the organization waits to be tapped. To do so, values and vision must be defined and expressed. Energetic Coaching provides a vehicle for those who desire to become the fullest expression of their authentic being becoming congruent as inner being is reflected in the mirror of outer doing. The self-reflection, honesty and hard work that are put into the process connect with spirit in a self-reinforcing spiral of sustainable energy. A person experiences and opens to their own best coach within their inner knower. For those who are called to it, Energetic Coaching examines relationships and discusses ways to open to inner knowing for individual integrity. There are no tools or techniques, formula s or models, but there are natural laws and fundamental principles that can be used to remove barriers and invite spiritual energy and connection. With the illusion of external control, polarity and duality transcended, the innate power of the individual can come forward for inner identity and guidance, enabling choice and supporting authentic action to create real and lasting freedom and power.
Book Description
'The Girl with Nine Toes - A Story about Personal Growth' is a parable of our modern times. It is the voice of an old world talking to our new world. Like all parables, whether from the Christian gospels or other of the world's great religions, the message is timeless. The story form is deliberate. A parable is not telling you what to think but rather to stir the imagination to know how to think. 'The Girl with Nine Toes' is a story from an even more ancient world - the aboriginal tradition, the native peoples, not just in Australia as told here but from the First Nations everywhere. These teachers are telling us something about our own survival - but crucially also theirs. Listen well and you shall hear. Hear well and you shall act. Part of the foreword, written by Tony Long.
Book Description
The thrust of this book is that it teaches the reader how-to be a mentor, coach or nurturer to oneself while serving as a mentor. As the book unfolds, the teacher helps the student to rediscover the true relationship that one has with God, others and oneself through the usage of "Know Thy Self" and "Spirituality" principles.

Book Description
This is a practical handbook of key issues relating to investing in derivatives, both from the point of view of customers who purchase and use derivative products, and from the point of view of banks and other dealers. Among the topics discussed by leading regulators and practitioners in major markets -- the United States, the United Kingdom and France -- are risks from using and not using derivatives, the disclosures that dealers should make to customers, whether derivatives are securities, what disclosures should be made by users to their shareholders, suits by users against dealers and what directors of users should know about derivatives. This handbook provides an excellent practical introduction to derivatives for company and securities lawyers, bankers and bank lawyers and corporate finance officers.

Book Description
Jupiter is an extraordinarily colourful and dynamic planet. Over minutes, one can watch tiny shadows cast by its moons slide over its surface; over days and weeks parades of diverse, giant swirling storms can be seen to move and evolve. It is because of this richness of visual and physical properties that Jupiter has intrigued amateur and professional astronomers and has been the goal of several space missions. This highly illustrated volume provides a comprehensive and accessible account of Jupiter and its satellites, synthesising data from amateur and professional astronomers and space missions. It reviews systematic telescopic observations that have stretched over more than a hundred years, in addition to modern observations and theories, and the wealth of data from the Pioneer, Voyager and Ulysses space missions. Many of the hand-drawings and the images from Voyager are presented and analysed here for the first time. As well as a thorough survey of the planet’s atmosphere, this volume presents an up-to-date account of our present knowledge of Jupiter’s satellites and magnetosphere, at a level accessible to the non-specialist. As the first full account of Jupiter for thirty-five years, this volume provides the definitive account of Jupiter for advanced amateur astronomers, professional astronomers and planetary scientists.
Customer Reviews:
A Jovian Trove! A Ticket to Jupiter!.......2004-04-16
Hats off to John Rogers. This book is like a textbook on the planet Jupiter. You could take a semester course on the planet and still not get everything that this book has to offer. Starting with early observations of the planet (17th century and following), we explore the planet's bands and belts (each one getting its own chapter!), the forjmation of spots and storms, chemistry, atmospheric speeds and dynamics, theories about what's beneath the clouds, Jupiter's ring system (discovered by Voyager), the moons (several of them getting whole chapters), on and on and on... The tone is decidedly scientific, but often in a conversational, friendly way, a tone that encourages exploring its knowledge.
My sole complaint about this tome (it's not just a book, but a tome) is its paucity of color illustrations. For as much discussion as the book offers about chemistry and color-sources in the belts, more color would be useful. All the color photos (and there a fair number, I suppose) appear in a sort of color plate appendix at the end of the book, and they're excellent, but few. Anyway, that sums up my reservations.
Besides, the book is otherwise lavishly--and I mean lavishly--illustrated, and with a huge variety of (all black-and-white) material, an important matter for a book about this subject. We get charts, grahps, photos taken in the visible spectrum, under various color filters and also various radiation filters (but reduced to two colors, as I said). Fascinating are the photo sequences which show us spots emerging and developing, merging, evolving. It's mostly in black and white, but the wonderfully fine paper stock provides for great reproduction quality. I don't think there is asingle concept or heading that goe unillustrated. Rogers (the author) employs a great wealth of astronmer's detailed (you'll be surprised) sketches of the planet, in little strip maps that sort of unroll the planet before you. And by collecting these sketches from over the centuries, he offers a longterm history of how the planet has been behaving.
Published in 1995, the book can only mention that the comet (I've forgotten its name) will hit it; the book doesn;t cover that actual event, but I can't imagine a fuller account of the planet--or of many dngle subject s period, as this book offers. A great book to poke around in, too, when you have an extra few minutes here and there.

Book Description
This book reviews the current state of knowledge of the atmospheres of the giant gaseous planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The current theories of their formation are reviewed and their recently observed temperature, composition and cloud structures are contrasted and compared with simple thermodynamic, radiative transfer and dynamical models. The instruments and techniques that have been used to remotely measure their atmospheric properties are also reviewed, and the likely development of outer planet observations over the next two decades is outlined.
