Antarctic Oasis: Under the Spell of South Georgia
ASIN: 1567922465 |
Product Description
In 1912, a young naturalist named Robert Cushman Murphy was offered the opportunity of a lifetime to spend a year on one of the last Yankee whaleships out of New Bedford, on a voyage to the Antarctic. Only recently married, Murphy had many regrets at leaving his wife Grace so early in their life together, but he saw that the chance to journey to the end of the world, to bring back new specimens, to record what he saw, was also the chance to launch a stellar career.
During the voyage, Murphy kept a journal, packing it with observations of his experiences on board, both as a naturalist and as a witness to a disappearing way of life. When he was not taking photographs and developing them in seawater, or skinning birds to take back to the American Museum of Natural History, he was watching his shipmates raid penguins' nests or harpoon whales and boil down their stripped carcasses. This journal, recorded in the voice of a man who relished the world around him, was later published as Logbook for Grace and became a bestseller. Murphy himself went on to become a world authority on oceanic birds.
Eleanor Mathews, his granddaughter, has now taken this extraordinary diary, updating & supplementing it with never-before-published information and his own original photographs. She presents his voyage in a compelling third-person narrative, maintaining his voice while expanding the tale for modern readers. As a story of seafaring life, a portrait of the whaling industry still under sail, an account of a natural history expedition, and a love letter to an absent wife, it was described as a book to set on the shelf beside Moby-Dick & Two Years Before the Mast. Logbook for Grace has disappeared; but we can proudly offer Ambassador to the Penguins to replace it.
Customer Reviews:
a gorgeous book...........2004-02-07
While my husband reads a steady and salty diet of historical sailing sagas, I generally feed on fiction. But when he finished AMBASSADOR TO THE PENGUINS, he passed the book over the wicker table that sits between our armchairs and insisted I dig in. Set in 1912-13, the book intimately follows Robert Cushman Murphy who worked as a naturalist for ten months aboard a Yankee whaleship. Under the leadership of the cranky and parsimonious Captain Cleveland, the Daisy sailed for South Georgia Island in the Antarctic waters, successfully gathering blubber and spermaceti from the hapless whales it encountered along the way, unsuccessfully hoping for the valuable ambergris.
Through Murphy's meticulous observations of every albatross, cockroach, shark, and crew member, I felt as though I was on the ship with him. His delight at every encounter with the natural world---penguins, whales, leopard seals, and skua colonies---pulled me into his scientist's mind. I worried about the marooned prisoner colony on the islands of Fernando de Noronha, the slaughter of elephant seals, and the ferocious storms Murphy braved on solo trips in his dory to gather specimens. I fretted over the crews' symptoms of beriberi late in the voyage, and the disappointments at ports when Murphy got no word from home. Fortunately for all readers, the young naturalist had made the difficult decision to leave his new bride, Grace Emeline, to leave on the chance-of-a-lifetime trip. The resultant letters to Grace, from which the author (his granddaughter) produces many of his quotes, are full of celebration, despair, and humor. This gorgeous book with plenty of photographs, illustrations, and excellent writing, held me spellbound. It may take me a few days to get my land legs back under me and start to live in our "easy" century.
Book Description

Concise Restatement of Business Tax.......2007-06-11
Having read NOTHING in business taxation prior to the final, I used this book to cram over the course of four days. Amazingly, I received a B, which was well above the median for the course. A nice feature of this book is the casebook table that shows which parts of the outline cover which pages in each of several leading casebooks. This made my unorganized cramming sessions much more manageable. My casebook reading was covered in 89 pages with this outline. Awesome.
If it wasn't for this outline, business tax would have killed my GPA and any chances for high honors. More significantly, I actually learned a lot from those four days and have applied the principles learned at my summer job. Good luck!
This book saved my life.......2006-11-29
"The yellow book" cruised me through Partnership Tax and Corporate Tax by spoon-feeding me all relevant laws/doctrines in a clear, concise way. This is an amazing book, which was recommended to me by an LLM Tax graduate (now an attorney for the IRS) who told me that everyone in her LLM program used this book. Get the yellow book, trash your other tax textbooks-- it will make you a star.
Book Description
This guide to the Limited Liability Company (LLC) covers the unique characteristics of an LLC under federal law, forming it under state law, the importance of a written operating agreement, the requirement for maintaining a sufficient capital base to meet all business commitments, and the tax forms and balance sheets needed to be considered an LLC. Clear and easy to grasp, this reference fully describes all technical terms and demystifies the forms and procedures of the LLC. Also covered are entity classification elections and changes, for-profit and at-risk limitation rules, the "like-a-corporation" standard, how to establish "limited liability," and more.

LLCs.......2007-05-06
This book had a few good pointers, but concentrates on California law, which differs from other states in some regards. I was not impressed with the quality of the writing. I would not buy it again.
Not so good.......2007-03-15
Very dry, not particularly insightful, lots of text copied wholesale from the tax code. A better text is
Tax Savvy for Small Business: Year-round Tax Strategies to Save You Money
by Frederick W. Daily
A good book with no index.......2006-07-04
I found the material important and well explained but the diagrams are completely irrelevant and useless. Its focus on California was especially useful for selfish reasons. I also recommend Nolo's "Form Your Own Limited Liability Company" as a general guide that is very well written. Crouch's book is useful if you are in California, however.
Lack of index in any book diminishes its usefulness, especially the ones that deal with how-to material. This one is no exception.
Profits, Taxes, & LLCs.......2006-02-27
The book is very detailed about the financial. Hard to understand and I have several degrees. I have taken graduate course in accounting and was a tax preparer and still found it difficult to understand what he's taking about. Overall it a reference book, but leaves some questions unanswered and might not help in doing the bookkeeping for a new LLC you just formed.
The philosophy of LLC taxation.......2005-07-10
I liked the approach. It's not a recipe for starting an LLC (there are plenty of those out there). It is more like background reading about the philosophy driving how LLCs are taxed, and what that means for how the LLC income is distributed and reported. Lots on maintaining capital accounts. There was a fair amount I ignored -- California and real estate specific information -- but the rest was very helpful. Chapter 5 on tax forms and Chapter 7 on partnership rules were especially useful.

Auditing and Assurance Services (12th Edition)
ASIN: 0759351864 |
Book Description
The text emphasizes those areas of taxation generally accepted as essential to the education of those pursuing careers in taxation or tax-related fields. The first eight chapters are devoted to the tax problems of regular corporations and their shareholders. These chapters are followed by a separate chapter examining the special problems of international taxation, an area of growing importance. Two chapters consider the taxation partnerships and partners while one chapter examines S corporations. Federal estate and gift taxation is discussed in one chapter. Two additional chapters contain the related topics of the income taxation of estates, trusts, and beneficiaries and the major aspects of family tax planning. For those students who have not had previous exposure to tax research, a separate chapter provides an introduction to this important topic. The skills explained in this chapter may be applied to the research questions contained at the end of most chapters. In addition, a chapter is devoted to the procedural aspects of taxation, including the special concerns for those involved in tax practice. The scope of this text is intentionally broad to accommodate a variety of uses and to provide flexibility for instructors in designing advanced tax courses. It is neither our intention nor our belief that all of the contents can or should be covered in a single three-semester-hour course. The sheer technical detail of the material presented is obviously more than can be covered in one course without selective pruning. Our hope is that instructors can adapt the text to satisfy their varying needs. In this regard, the ample coverage of what we believe are the most relevant topics - filled with examples and exhibits - should meet the desires of the most demanding users.

The Best Corporate and Partnership Tax Summary Available.......2004-04-08
This is the most outstanding tax summary available in the market. I used it when I was first learning tax and still use it today as a quick reference when looking at an area I haven't seen in a while.
The explanations and footnotes are detailed enough for the experienced tax practitioner to use as a starting point or a refresher but sufficiently straightforward for the novice. Well worth the $26.50 - probably the best professional reference book I've purchased in my tax career.
My first copy was of the previous edition, I can't wait for the new edition to come in the mail! Highly recommended.
