The book critically examines the effects of the War on Terror on
the relationships between civil society, security and aid. It
argues that the War on Terror regime has greatly reshaped the field
of development and it highlights the longer-lasting impacts of
post-9/11 counter-terrorism responses on aid policy and practice on
civil society.
Following the basic presumptions of the early law-as-literature
movement, past approaches have mainly focused on textuality and
narrativity as the common denominators of law and literature, and
have largely ignored the topic of fictionality. This volume
provides a much needed analysis of this gap.
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 Previously unpublished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.

This widely-adopted casebook provides detailed information on
federal income taxation, with specific assignments to the Internal
Revenue Code, selected cases, and regulations and rulings from the
Internal Revenue Service. 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.
