The revised and updated Twentieth Edition marks the 50th anniversary of the casebook's first publication, and in this edition Professor Heather M. Field (University of California, Hastings) joins the casebook as an author.  This new edition retains the book's long standing format and much of its prior materials, but it is updated to reflect recent events including legislative, judicial, and regulatory developments.  The new edition contains expanded materials on tax policy, including discussions of (1) the fundamentals of tax policy, (2) a comparison of the definition of income under the Internal Revenue Code and under Haig-Simons, (3) the realization requirement for gains and losses, (4) the argument for and against the stepped-up basis in Section 1014, (5) a critique of tax expenditures, and (6) the preferential treatment of capital gains.  Other significant changes in the casebook include new or revised coverage, sometimes with problems, of: (1) judicial review of Treasury regulations, (2) taxation of virtual currencies, (3) the exclusion for discharge of student loans, (4) the Section 274 limitation on the deductibility of entertainment and meal expenditures, (5) the Section 280A limitation on the deductibility of expenses in connection with the business use of a home, (6) the Section 280E limitation on the deductibility of expenditures in connection with sales of illegal drugs, (7) the concepts of adjusted gross income and miscellaneous itemized deductions, (8) the tax benefit doctrine, (9) net operating losses, (10) Special Opportunity Zones, and (11) the definition of \"real property\" under Section 1031.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50133281112337,"sku":"CIN1685613241G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":53432513986833,"sku":"CIN1685613241A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1685613241.jpg?v=1751183952"},{"product_id":"charlie-brown-religion-book-stephen-j-lind-9781496804686","title":"A Charlie Brown Religion","description":"Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip franchise, the most successful of all time, forever changed the industry. For more than half a century, the endearing, witty insights brought to life by Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and Lucy have caused newspaper readers and television viewers across the globe to laugh, sigh, gasp, and ponder. A Charlie Brown Religion explores one of the most provocative topics Schulz broached in his heartwarming work--religion.  Based on new archival research and original interviews with Schulz's family, friends, and colleagues, author Stephen J. Lind offers a new spiritual biography of the life and work of the great comic strip artist. In his lifetime, aficionados and detractors both labeled Schulz as a fundamentalist Christian or as an atheist. Yet his deeply personal views on faith have eluded journalists and biographers for decades. Previously unpublished writings from Schulz will move fans as they begin to see the nuances of the humorist's own complex, intense journey toward understanding God and faith.  \"\"There are three things that I've learned never to discuss with people,\"\" Linus says, \"\"Religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.\"\" Yet with the support of religious communities, Schulz bravely defied convention and dared to express spiritual thought in the \"\"funny pages,\"\" a secular, mainstream entertainment medium. This insightful, thorough study of the 17,897 Peanuts newspaper strips, seventy-five animated titles, and global merchandising empire will delight and intrigue as Schulz considers what it means to believe, what it means to doubt, and what it means to share faith with the world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50492414034193,"sku":"CIN1496804686VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51422793629969,"sku":"CIN1496804686G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1496804686.jpg?v=1750716772"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-stephen-j-lind.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
