Powell B. Brown enlisted in the Marine Corps as a young man and
went on to serve in combat units during World War II, the Korean
War, and in Vietnam. In these memoirs, Brown recalls his burning
desire to serve his country and the adventures he has along the
way. He tells the story of his life as a new recruit, in the mess
hall, and then being sent out to sea. Not everything is as he
expects, but he learns quickly. Though he participates in some of
the bloodiest battles of World War II and later joins in the fight
against communism, Brown survives and thrives as a Marine-earning
numerous medals for his bravery in combat. Join Brown as he
remembers a wide variety of escapades and duty assignments,
including his time spent as a drill instructor, a recruiter, and
even as a teacher at a Marine Corps school. This was all in
addition to his regular duty in the Amphibious Tractor Battalion.
The story told in Memories of a United States Marine reveals
important historical information as well as what it truly means to
serve with honor.
"There is a simple formula for sermon preparation that creates
messages that apply and engage whether your parish is rural or
urban, young or old, rich or poor, five thousand members or fifty,"
writes Michael Brown in the preface to Making the Timeless Word
Timely. The other part of the task, of course, involves being
creative and insightful enough to know how to take the general
formula for sermon preparation and make it particular in its impact
on a specific congregation. Michael Brown guides the reader though
the formula and the skills to employ it with excellence and
integrity. He also offers twelve examples of sermons that
illustrate the approaches and do indeed "make the timeless Word
timely."

parables, which she shares with her readers in this deeply
heartfelt book. Using the simplest everyday objects, situations,
and occurrences, God has ministered comfort, healing, and
revelation to Randy, and she passes these blessings on to her
readers in her powerful writing. Grounded in the Word of God, Randy
uses scripture to reinforce the life lessons God has shared with
her through years of trials, challenges, and great spiritual
victories.

This volume examines the tax systems of some twenty countries to
determine whether their tax laws are used to support growth and
development across borders in lower-income and poor countries.
Given the critical economic development needs of poorer countries
and the importance of stability in these regions to the security of
populations throughout the world, the use of a country's tax laws
to support investment in the developing world gains crucial
significance. This book explores whether international standards
promoting the fundamental values of the major tax systems of the
world accommodate incentives for these nations. In addition, it
analyzes the way in which adoption of principles by higher income
nations to protect their own revenue bases has a spill-over effect,
impairing the ability of developing countries to sustain their
economies. Following an introduction that synthesizes worldwide
trends, the volume contains separate chapters for a variety of
countries detailing the underlying goals and values of each system
and the way in which the decision to employ (or not employ)
incentives accommodates those ends. The chapters include reports
for: Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Croatia, Czech Republic, France,
Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Maldives, the Netherlands,
Poland, Portugal, South Africa, Uganda, United Kingdom, United
States, and Venezuela. The volume memorializes the work of the
General Reporter and National Reporters at the Taxation and
Development session of the 19th Congress of the International
Academy of Comparative Law held in July, 2014, in Vienna, Austria.
"Euro on Trial looks back - to the aspirations of the founders -
and forward - to the possibility of reform or splitting up. After
five years of experience with the new currency, new insights are
possible into the old arguments for and against union. Monetary
union is reversible in part or in whole and this book assesses the
costs and benefits. Brown examines several mainstream scenarios for
the future of the euro in these essential readings for market
practitioners as well as academics. For example, how long will the
euro survive? The author shows that the answer depends principally
on Germany. Any of the small or medium-sized economies could leave
monetary union without threatening its existence. But were Germany
to pull out it is highly doubtful whether there would be a core of
countries that would perserve inside. Germany's membership so far
has brought much disappointment. How many more years of disillusion
are required before the question of EMU reform or break-up enters
the mainstream of German political debate?
Review: 'Fiat currency central banks claim to fight the inflation
they cause, and likewise to offset the financial instability and
systemic risk they create. The depreciation of the currencies they
issue at will often cause falls in foreign exchange value, goods
and services inflation, or asset price inflations. Of these, asset
price inflations are the most insidious, for while they last they
are highly popular, leading people to think they are growing rich
and to run up their debt. When the asset inflations collapse, the
central banks can come as the fire department to the fire they
stoked. Nobody is better at diagnosing and dissecting these central
bank games than Brendan Brown, whether it is the Federal Reserve
(The Global Curse of the Federal Reserve) or the European Central
Bank - this book, Euro Crash. It will give you a healthy boost in
your scepticism about those who pretend to be the Platonic
guardians of the financial system.' - Alex J. Pollock, Resident
Fellow, American Enterprise Institute, Washington, DC; former
president and chief executive officer, Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago.
Capital flows from Asia into the US challenge many assumptions of
international financial analysis. This book presents a novel
geography of these flows, revealing their driving forces and
assessing the market mechanisms necessary for a smooth global flow
of funds. It is essential for all those interested in international
finance.
This volume provides a fascinating look at the anti-tax avoidance
strategies employed by more than fifteen countries in eastern and
western Europe, Canada, the Pacific Rim, Asia, Africa, and the
United States. It surveys the similarities and differences in
anti-avoidance regimes and contains detailed chapters for each
country surveying the moral and legal dimensions of the problem.
The proliferation of tax avoidance schemes in recent years signals
the global dimensions of a problem presenting a serious challenge
to the effective administration of tax laws. Tax avoidance involves
unacceptable manipulation of the law to obtain a tax advantage.
These transactions support wasteful behavior in which corporations
enter into elaborate, circuitous arrangements solely to minimize
tax liability. It frustrates the ability of governments to collect
sufficient revenue to provide essential public goods and services.
Avoidance of duly enacted provisions (or manipulation to secure tax
benefits unintended by the legislature) poses a threat to the
effective operation of a free society for the benefit of a small
group of members who seek the privilege of shifting their tax
burden onto others merely to compete in the world of commerce. In a
world in which world treasuries struggle for the resources to
battle terrorist threats and to secure a decent standard of living
for constituents tax avoidance can bring economies close to the
edge of sustainability. As tax avoidance is one of the top concerns
of most nations, the importance of this work cannot be overstated.
