ISBN: 0143119028
Title: One L Pdf The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School
Author: Scott Turow
Published Date: 2010
Page: 288

Scott Turow is the author of over ten internationally bestselling books, including Identical, Limitations, Ordinary Heroes, Ultimate Punishment, and Reversible Errors. He lives in Chicago, where he is a partner at a law firm and teaches fiction writing at Northwestern University.

"A wonderful book...it should be read by anyone who has ever contemplated going to law school. Or anyone who has ever worried about being human."—The New York Times

It was a year of terrors and triumphs, of depressions and elations, of compulsive work, pitiless competition, and, finally, mass hysteria. It was Scott Turow's first year at the oldest, biggest, most esteemed center of legal education in the United States. Turow's experiences at Harvard Law School, where freshmen are dubbed One Ls, parallel those of first-year law students everywhere. His gripping account of this critical, formative year in the life of a lawyer is as suspenseful, said The New York Times, as "the most absorbing of thrillers."

Good read, especially for law students past or present. It's a good story. As I read it I kept wondering if anyone who hadn't been to law school would like it. I am going to have my dad, who hasn't been to law school, read it and see. I personally am in my second year and read this book on the two weeks I had off from classes. Despite 38 years going by between him writing this and my first year, I must say, not much seems to have changed in legal education. I could relate to so may of the stories, fears and thoughts running through his head. I felt like the last half dragged a little, but maybe that was him adapting to the lifestyle and having the shock wear off. Overall I enjoyed it, I found myself saving sections to read to my fellow classmates, a fun bonding tool.Wanting to be the Best ONE L is the first-hand account of the 1975-76 beginning year of Harvard Law student turned lawyer turned best-selling author Scott Turow. Turow accurately recreates the insanity of the year by exposing how utterly selfish everyone is or becomes because of the desire to be the best. The professors are driven by ego, the students are driven by fear and greed. Turow realizes that despite his best liberal attempts to stay above the fray that he too wishes to be one of those who finishes on top of the first year grades and thus make the Harvard Review. Well-written, very engaging (although a little too long), and all too real, Turow's book remains the classic to read for those entering LS.Great Book This book is simply the best description of a person's first year experience in law school, although I still have a nostalgia on this topic for "The Bramble Bush" by Karl Llewellyn. Turow was uniquely qualified to write about it: he had spent several years teaching at Stanford before heading off to law school and had engaged to write a book even before he started at Harvard. He then kept notes during that 1L year and wrote the book immediately afterward. Hence, he was an experienced writer who planned well and then wrote the book while the events of the prior year were fresh in his mind.In my case, I graduated law school 25 years ago, but recently completed the LLM & SJD degrees. While this book describes law school culture prevalent back in "my day," I've also seen an immense cultural shift in law schools over the past years. Thus, some of the "hard" aspects of the 1L experience have softened a bit, but certain things have not (e.g., student anxiety).

Julie Taboulie's Lebanese Kitchen Free Pdf

ISBN: 1250094933
Title: Julie Taboulie's Lebanese Kitchen Pdf Authentic Recipes for Fresh and Flavorful Mediterranean Home Cooking
Author: Julie Ann Sageer
Published Date: 2017-06-06
Page: 304

"Julie Taboulie’s passion for Lebanon and its rich cuisine is evident in her new cookbook. Her enthusiasm and attention to detail reaches the reader on every page -- you can almost smell the delicious food!" -Barbara Abdeni Massaad, author of Man'oushe: Inside the Street Corner Lebanese Bakery"Julie Taboulie's wonderful cookbook makes it easy to create vibrant, mouthwatering, made-from-scratch Lebanese dishes at home, without cutting any corners. Her recipes open up a whole new repertoire of Lebanese classics, even for those of us who grew up eating the cuisine at home. A must for anyone who loves Middle Eastern food, and for any 21st-century kitchen." -Salma Abdelnour, author of Jasmine and Fire: A Bittersweet Year in Beirut"I have been waiting for a while for Julie's cookbook ... and the wait was so worthwhile! This book brings into your home the luscious and exotic richness of Lebanese cuisine, along with its tips and tricks, in such an accessible and entertaining way. The photos, the stories and the recipes are all a gift to savor." -Pati Jinich, chef, author, and host of Pati's Mexican Table on PBS"Sageer so loved her mother’s lemony tabbouleh salad as a child in upstate New York that she earned the nickname “Julie Taboulie,” a moniker she uses on her PBS cooking shows. She evokes that memory and many others in this collection of recipes for Lebanese foods, from familiar hummus (presented with a handful of variations) to surprises such as panfried patties made with chickpeas, potatoes, and bulgur; a yogurt soup with lamb dumplings; and pickled baby eggplant stuffed with peppers. Sageer’s outlook is encouraging, but occasionally she falters on logistics. A narrow-diameter dowel-style rolling pin is recommended or required or both, but she never explains why. There are two almost identical recipes for chicken shawarma, one with spices listed and another with a spice mix cross-referenced." ―Publisher's WeeklyJULIE ANN SAGEER is the host of the Emmy-nominated Cooking with Julie Taboulie and the upcoming Julie Taboulie’s Lebanese Kitchen, airing on PBS stations nationwide. Born in Central New York and raised in the Finger Lakes, her warm, welcoming way in the kitchen lends a vibrant quality to the flavorful food she shares.LEAH BHABHA graduated from Cornell and moved to San Francisco where she worked at Boulettes Larder. Following a year at Food & Wine, she began her own website, One Hungry Pickle. She collaborated with Julie Ann Sageer on Julie Taboulie's Lebanese Kitchen cookbook.

Since she was six years old, Julie Ann Sageer (nicknamed Julie Taboulie by her close-knit family) has had a passion for cooking the meals of her Lebanese heritage. Just like in her Emmy-nominated cooking show Cooking with Julie Taboulie, each of her recipes comes with hands-on instructions, tips, and tricks for making homemade Middle Eastern dishes using heaps of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Here you’ll find dishes that range from classics like falafel, shawarma, and (of course) taboulie, to warming Bazilla―a stew of tomato, green pea, and lamb―to honey and rosewater-infused desserts.

In these 125 recipes, you’ll learn how easy it is to make such Lebanese staples as fresh labneh (strained yogurt) and how to put together your own delicious, multi-purpose spice mixes. In addition to the delicious meat and chicken dishes, Lebanese cuisine offers a wide variety of vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes, usually with no substitutions whatsoever! Every chapter includes a multitude of dishes for eaters of all kinds and preferences, from meat-lovers to veggie-heads and everything in between.

Cooking is fun. Julie is a sparkling lady. She is very bright and shares her insights creatively. Meals should be interesting as well as nourishing and attractive. Julie demonstrates how to accomplish this. Her recipes are adventures and are presented in a way that enables intermediate cooks to follow. I wish her book were available in a larger, coffee table version which I would display in my living room.I have many Lebanese cook books and many are wonderful but Julie's is special I have many Lebanese cook books and many are wonderful but Julie's is special. It's a terrific book that has become my favorite. I highly recommend this marvelous book and I can't wait to try her methods on many of my favorite recipes as well as many I have never made.Thanks JulieEasy to follow recipes! The cookbook has easy recipes to follow for the new learner. Pictures are very helpful.

Title: Federal Income Taxation of Corporations and Stockholders in a Nutshell (Nutshells) Pdf
Author: Karen Burke
Published Date: 2018-12-03
Page: 500
This edition has been completely revised to reflect the 2017 Act and developments through August 2018. The text focuses on the corporation as a taxable entity and tracks the corporate life cycle from incorporation through complete liquidation. It includes discussion on nonliquidating distributions, redemptions, and stock dividends. It also addresses advanced problems in corporate taxation, such as taxable acquisitions, tax-free reorganizations and corporate divisions, and carryover of corporate tax attributes.

Research Paper Source This book is very easy to read and was a very helpful source of information regarding the Corporate Tax. The book is definitely written for someone who really does not have an indept knowledge of taxes. I recommend this book to students who are doing a research paper on the Corporate Tax.

The Book Thief Free Pdf

ISBN: B000J20TZA
Title: The Book Thief Pdf

Don't miss Bridge of Clay, Markus Zusak's first novel since The Book Thief.  

The extraordinary number-one New York Times best seller that is now a major motion picture, Markus Zusak's unforgettable story is about the ability of books to feed the soul. Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. 

When Death has a story to tell, you listen. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist - books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement.  

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak, author of I Am the Messenger, has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.   

"The kind of book that can be life-changing." (The New York Times

"Deserves a place on the same shelf with The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank." (USA Today)

Excellent! Eleven-year-old Liesel Meminger is a foster child who has recently arrived in a small town outside Munich, Germany during WWII. Liesel has been sent to live with Hans and Rosa Huberman, presumably for the small stipend they’ll receive. Liesel is still suffering from the loss of her little brother and the difficult and somewhat mysterious separation from her mother. She takes an immediate like to Hans, who is kind and thoughtful, but takes much longer to warm up to the abrasive Rosa.Liesel makes friends with next-door neighbor Rudy and establishes herself as a self-proclaimed book thief. Becoming unlikely friends with the Mayor’s wife Ilsa affords Liesel the opportunity to read the books in the Mayor’s massive library. Along the way, Liesel is witness to the atrocities of war, heartbreaking events, love, loss and other life-changing events.I saw the movie The Book Thief several years ago and loved it. When I decided it was time to read the book I was absolutely captivated. Although the book is 550 pages long, I read it in just two days – it was THAT good.The book is different in several ways, ways in which I won’t go into in my review. Suffice it to say that I’m glad I saw the movie first and then read the book. I think I might have been disappointed with the movie version if it had happened in opposite order. This just goes to show how well the author has written this important piece of fictionalized history. The time period, location, mood, characters, etc. come to life as the story unfolds.I was surprised at some of the other reviews, stating that the book was just plain depressing. I’m not at all sure how a book that deals with the systematic extinction of a race of people can be written about in an uplifting, happy way. Yet, the book is so much more than a story about a German girl who is living in Nazi Germany during WWII. There are many lovely, tender elements to be found in The Book Thief. The additional anniversary edition footnotes written by the author (at the end of the book) provide wonderful insight.I think it’s extremely important that all generations read books like The Book Thief. This is part of history and, as poet and philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it." This is a book that is emotionally draining, but very much worth the read!Not engaging - Supposedly written for young people but how young you have to be Agree with all the others giving one or two stars: who in hell thought this was a good book? the style is exasperating and there is no much meat or story. Some say that is because it was intended to young people, but I wonder how young you have to be to enjoy that kind of writing. Tried to come to terms and finish it but I could not waste more time on this.
