This handbook is a concise guide for all those who aim at obtaining
a basic knowledge of European tax law. Designed for students, it
should also be useful for experienced international tax specialists
with little knowledge of European law, European law specialists who
are reluctant to approach the technicalities of direct taxation and
non-Europeans who deal with Europe for business or academic reasons
and need to understand the foundations of European tax law. This
book should also help academics without a legal background to
approach the technical issues raised by European Union tax law.
This edition contains selected relevant information available as of
30 June 2022. It retains all of the features and tools contained in
the previous editions (including the final charts, which our
readers very much appreciate). In this edition we have also
included a list of relevant documents and a selection of reference
textbooks on European tax law in five languages, which we found of
potential interest to our readers.
This topical book is the first publication that focuses on the
impact of the CCCTB project on relations between the European Union
and third countries. Although the CCCTB system will only be
applicable within the European Union, it will also have
wide-ranging impacts for non-resident companies.The book considers
the impact of the CCCTB from the perspective of non-EU-based
enterprises that are carrying on business in the EU through the
operation of branches or subsidiaries in member states. It
incorporates the perspectives of leading scholars from all over
Europe as well as from third countries such as the United States,
and provides in-depth analysis of the key aspects which would
affect third countries, such as: withholding taxation, taxation of
transparent entities, and transfer of assets to third countries.
Corporate Income Taxation in Europe will provide essential insights
to academics, practitioners and policymakers in the field of
taxation. It will also interest those looking ahead to future tax
reforms in the EU, or considering how a similar model may be
applied elsewhere. Contributors: K. Andersson, K. Becker, Y.

This volume offers a new, synthetic overview of the structure and
ritual shape of the Roman Mass from its formative period in late
antiquity to its post-Tridentine standarisation. Starting with the
Last Supper and the origins of the Eucharist, Uwe Michael Lang
constructs a narrative that explores the intense religious, social,
and cultural transformations that shaped the Roman Mass. Lang
unites classical liturgical history with insights from a variety of
other disciplines that have drawn attention to the ritual
performance and reception of the mass. He also presents liturgical
developments within the broader historical and theological contexts
that affected the celebration and experience of the sacramental
rite that is still at the heart of Catholic Christianity. Aimed at
scholars from a broad swathe of subjects, including religious
studies, history, art history, literature, and music, Lang's volume
serves as a comprehensive history of the Roman Mass over the course
of a millenium.
On the afternoon of August 15, 1969, Richie Havens took the stage
at the Woodstock Music and Art Fair, welcoming a crowd of several
hundred thousand to the green fields of Max Yasgur's farm. Havens
was the first act - the legendary festival, years in the making,
was finally beginning. Nothing would be the same after. But the
story of the legendary festival begins with Michael Lang, a kid out
of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, who liked to smoke a joint and listen to
jazz and who eventually found his way to Florida, where he opened a
head shop and produced his first festival - Miami Pop, featuring
Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, and others. In the late '60s, after
settling in Woodstock, he began to envision a music and arts
festival where folks could come and stay for a few days amid the
rural beauty of upstate New York. The idea crystallized when Lang
talked it over with Artie Kornfeld, a songwriter and A and R man,
and with two other young men they formed Woodstock Ventures. They
booked talent, from Janis Joplin and the Who to the virtually
unknown Santana and Crosby, Stills and Nash; won over agents and
promoters; brought in the Hog Farm commune to set up campgrounds;
hired a peacekeeping force; took on fleets of volunteers; appeased
the Yippies; and, were run out of one town and found another site
weeks before the festival. On the ground with the talent, the
townspeople, and his handpicked crew, Lang had a unique and
panoramic perspective of the festival. Enhanced by interviews with
others who were central to the making of the festival, "The Road to
Woodstock" tells the story from inspiration to celebration,
capturing all the magic, mayhem, and mud in between.
This handbook is a concise guide for all those who aim at obtaining

should be useful as well for experienced international tax
specialists with little knowledge of European law, European law
specialists who are reluctant to approach the technicalities of
direct taxation and non-Europeans who deal with Europe for business
or academic reasons and need to understand the foundations of
European tax law. The authors also consider that this book can be
useful to academics without a legal background in order to approach
the technical issues raised by European Union tax law. During the
past two years the growing role of state aids and EU fundamental
rights have confirmed the trend that steers them towards having an
equivalent impact on direct taxation as compared to the one
traditionally had by fundamental freedoms. The developments of
secondary law have been more marginal instead, confirming the
difficulties in producing secondary legislation on direct taxes.

The ongoing debates on the present state and the future of the
Roman Catholic worship are not confined to specialists, but are
clearly of interest to a wider public, as the responses to the
Sacra Liturgia UK conference, held in London in July 2016, have
shown. This volume contains the proceedings of the conference and
raises the question of how to bring to fruition the insights and
instructions of the Second Vatican Council and its key document on
the liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, in the life of the Church
today. The initial contribution from Robert Cardinal Sarah, Prefect
of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments, calls
for a fuller implementation of Sacrosanctum Concilium. Following on
from this other leading figures and liturgical scholars, such as
Joris Geldhof, David Fagerberg and Alcuin Reid, examine Catholic
worship from a variety of perspectives, including historical,
pastoral, social, cultural and artistic themes. Taken together,
these chapters present another crucial step along the route of
authentic liturgical renewal in the contemporary world.

Woodstock is the definitive, electrifying account of the rock
festival that shook the world and defined a generation. In 1969
four young men--two budding entrepreneurs who really wanted to
write sitcoms, a former head shop proprietor turned rock band
manager, and a record company executive who smoked hash in his
office--had a dream: to produce the greatest rock concert ever
held. Little did they know how enormous a reality their dream would
become. Woodstock is the fascinating story of how it all came
together--and almost fell apart--told exclusively in the voices of
the men and women who made it happen. It shares the adventures of a
ragtag bunch of businessmen and bohemians, of hippies, hucksters,
handymen, and hangers-on, working against all odds to unite a
generation for one wild, glorious weekend in August 1969. You'll
get behind-the-scenes stories from such people as David Crosby,
Abbie Hoffman. Miriam Yasgur (who, along with her husband, Max,
owned the land on which the festival was held), Richie Havens, Wavy
Gravy, Paul Kantner, Chip Monck, and a host of others. This special
40th anniversary edition features a new foreword by Michael Lang
and Joel Rosenman, two of the original coproducers of Woodstock, as
well as updated information on the people who made the music
festival happen.
