Tax Break
Pay Your Taxes! But get a TAX BREAKThe IRS has a storied history. There''s the story of the 10-year-old boy who had his savings account confiscated by the IRS. There''s the story of the 17-year-old girl who the IRS threatened to garnish her wages and put a lien on her property if she didn''t fork over $16 in taxes her uncle had already paid. There''s the story of IRS workers throwing away or hiding returns in order to keep up with work. TAX BREAK relates the story of Jim Greenwald, a man so enraged by the IRS that he plants a bomb in their Austin facility after they confiscate his bar for unpaid taxes. The FBI and local police chase him across the United States while a third-party presidential candidate starts a riot after he declares Greenwald to be a hero of the people. This book explodes with more action when a CIA agent attempts to silence Greenwald before he can expose his past adventures executed for The Company. Yes, you still have to pay your taxes, but you can at least channel your anger by turning the pages of this exciting story of one man''s war on the IRS.

Soul for Sale

release date: Apr 01, 2009
Soul for Sale
Soul for Sale is the compelling and hugely entertaining story of Creative Director Terry Wilson and his colleagues at Cracknell, Burroughs & Partners - an award-winning, pressure-cooker of an agency filled with high-maintenance creative talent, high-profit le clients and bare-knuckle politics. Whether you work in advertising or just watch commercials on TV, you''ll laugh, cry and ultimately recognize the Terry in yourself as he struggles to reconcile life in the demanding, insular, self-referential, surreal ad world...with life itself. In this remarkable debut novel, Jay Williams has deftly captured virtually all there is to say about the choices we sometimes make and the challenges of life inside - as well as outside - the weird and wonderful world of advertising.

Insurgency

Insurgency
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson Since the formation of the United States almost two hundred thirty years ago, there had been a constant battle between two forces. Those who fought to increase the power of the state over the lives of the people on the one hand, and those who cherished the limited government that the Founding Fathers had created on the other. For many years, there were citizens who argued that voting was the way to keep-or restore-a limited government. They said that violence was not the answer. Junior Representative Bill Jeffers from Idaho''s 2nd district believed that the time for peaceful revolution had run out. He had come to the painful conclusion that the only way to restore liberty was through bloodshed. And while he knew that he would face a tough adversary while on his mission, he never could have imagined the brutality and ruthlessness of the enemy. Author Jay Philip Williams is a newly minted writer whose first novel is not only controversial but thought provoking. In it, he writes about limited government, individual liberty, and economic freedom, three of the things which are most important to him. He also throws in some helicopters and airplanes, lots of guns and shootouts, evil politicians, and some sinister international intrigue.

Countable Borel Quasi-orders

Countable Borel Quasi-orders
In recent years, much work in descriptive set theory has been focused on the Borel complexity of naturally occurring classification problems, in particular, the study of countable Borel equivalence relations and their structure under the quasi-order of Borel reducibility. Following the approach of Louveau and Rosendal in cite{LR05} for the study of analytic equivalence relations, we study countable Borel quasi-orders. We are largely concerned in this thesis with universal countable Borel quasi-orders, i.e. countable Borel quasi-orders above all other countable Borel quasi-orders with regard to Borel reducibility. We first establish that there is a universal countable Borel quasi-order, using a Feldman-Moore-type result for countable Borel quasi-orders and an argument similar to that of Dougherty, Jackson, and Kechris in cite{DJK94}. We then establish that several countable Borel quasi-orders are universal. An important example is an embeddability relation on descriptive set theoretic trees. This is used in many of the other proofs of universality. Our main result is Theorem 5.5.2, which states that embeddability of finitely generated groups is a universal countable Borel quasi-order, answering a question of Louveau and Rosendal in cite{LR05}. This immediately implies that biembeddability of finitely generated groups is a universal countable Borel equivalence relation. Although it may have been possible to prove this only using results on countable Borel equivalence relations, the use of quasi-orders seems to be the most direct route to this result. The proof uses small cancellation theory. The same techniques are also used to show that embeddability of countable groups is a universal analytic quasi-order. Finally, we discuss the structure of countable Borel quasi-orders under Borel reducibility, and we present some open problems.

The American Spirit
Since the 1970s, Richard and Jane Manoogian have collected some of the most celebrated examples of historical American Art, including Hudson River School, American impressionist, and trompe l''oeil paintings. This book documents an exhibition that includes such stellar exemplars of American art as Asher B. Durand, one of the fathers of the Hudson River School; Frederick Frieseke, a leading member of the American art colony at Giverny, France (the village that was home to Claude Monet); Frank Benson, whose iconic figure paintings incorporate impressionist brushwork while conveying a strong sense of his subjects'' personalities; and William Michael Harnett, represented here by three remarkable trompe l''oeil compositions.
