A Planet to Win

Why We Need a Green New Deal

By: Kate Aronoff,Alyssa Battistoni,Daniel Aldana Cohen,Thea Riofrancos

All politics are climate politics in the twenty-first century—and this bold book argues for a Green New Deal that confronts both climate change and inequality The age of climate gradualism is over, as unprecedented disasters are exacerbated by inequalities of race and class. We need profound, radical change. A Green New Deal can tackle the climate emergency and rampant inequality at the same time. Cutting carbon emissions while winning immediate gains for the many is the only way to build a movement strong enough to defeat big oil, big business, and the super-rich—starting right now. A Planet to Win explores the political potential and concrete first steps of a Green New Deal. It calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building beautiful landscapes of renewable energy, guaranteeing climate-friendly work and no-carbon housing and free public transit. And it shows how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movements worldwide. We don’t make politics under conditions of our own choosing, and no one would choose this crisis. But crises also present opportunities. We stand on the brink of disaster—but also at the cusp of wondrous, transformative change.

Murder at the Elms

By: Alyssa Maxwell

As the nineteenth century comes to a close, the illustrious Vanderbilt family dominates Newport, Rhode Island, high society. But when murder arrives, reporter Emma Cross learns that sometimes the actions of the cream of society can curdle one’s blood in the latest installment of this bestselling cozy historical mystery series . . . 1901: Back from their honeymoon in Italy, Emma and Derrick are adapting to married life as they return to their duties at their jointly owned newspaper, the Newport Messenger. The Elms, coal baron Edward Berwind’s newly completed Bellevue Avenue estate, is newsworthy for two reasons: A modern mansion for the new century, it is one of the first homes in America to be wired for electricity with no backup power system, generated by coal from Berwind’s own mines. And their servants—with a single exception—have all gone on strike to protest their working conditions. Summarily dismissing and replacing his staff with cool and callous efficiency, Berwind throws a grand party to showcase the marvels of his new “cottage.” Emma and Derrick are invited to the fete, which culminates not only in a fabulous musicale but an unforeseen tragedy—a chambermaid is found dead in the coal tunnel. In short order, it is also discovered that a guest’s diamond necklace is missing and a laborer has disappeared. Detective Jesse Whyte entreats Emma and Derrick to help with the investigation and determine whether the murdered maid and stolen necklace are connected. As the dark deeds cast a shadow over the blazing mansion, it’s up to Emma to shine a light on the culprit . . .

Federal Taxation of Wealth Transfers

Cases and Problems

By: Stephanie J. Willbanks,Alyssa DiRusso

With an emphasis on tax planning, Federal Taxation of Wealth Transfers: Cases and Problems integrates stimulating problems with statutes, regulations, and cases to create a highly teachable and student-friendly casebook. This casebook emphasizes problem solving, statutory construction, and policy-analysis skills, and is ideal for 2- or 3-credit courses in estate and gift taxation. The text has been expanded to feature new cases, administrative rulings, and studies. Existing cases and text have been edited or deleted to highlight essential themes. The casebook is logically organized but its flexible organization accommodates reorganizing material to fit individual course structures, and could be used for a basic wealth transfer tax class or to complement an estate planning course. New to the 5th Edition: Alyssa A. DiRusso joins as a co-author, bringing her background in high-net-worth practice and in-house fiduciary administration to broaden the book’s perspective. A new introduction to gratuitous transfers in Chapter 1. More detailed analysis of defined value clauses in Chapter 3. A new section on taxation of nonprofit organizations in Chapter 14. New cases throughout the book. Updated values and computations. Professors and students will benefit from: Organization – the book is organized by the three different transfer taxes and by IRC section. Flexibility – the text, cases, and problems allow a focus on statutory construction, planning, or policy. Focus on basics – the book is adaptable to a two- or three-credit transfer tax course, to supplement an estate planning course, or for an LLM course. Detailed textual explanations with references to current cases and administrative rulings—but they also provide historical context and development. Problems that focus on discrete issues to build a solid foundation. Edited cases that focus on fundamentals.

Ever - Before You (Ever #2)

By: Alyssa Becker

Amy comincia a seguire le lezioni alla Brown University, il college al quale si è iscritta con molto entusiasmo, ignara di quello che avrebbe avuto affrontare. Fino a qualche giorno prima, era decisa a concentrarsi sui libri, ma dopo aver conosciuto Tex Pratt, il ragazzo più bello e maledetto del campus, non può evitare di pensare a lui. Corteggiata insistentemente dal suo amico Will, spinta a partecipare a ogni party delle confraternite dalla sua compagna di stanza Leah, ovunque vada Amy si ritrova faccia a faccia con Tex. Lui la provoca, la stuzzica in continuazione. Il suo passatempo preferito è giocare con le ragazze della Brown, collezionare avventure da una notte. La gelosia inizia a insinuarsi nel cuore di Amy: capisce di essersi presa una cotta spaventosa per Tex, come quasi ogni ragazza del campus, ma sa anche che è una follia perché con uno come Terence Pratt lei soffrirà soltanto. Così accetta di uscire con Will. Ma Tex non è il tipo che rinuncia a quello che vuole e lui vuole Amy Glover. Tra i due amici della confraternita dei Delta Sigma, ha inizio una lotta senza esclusione di colpi, per conquistare la ragazza che in realtà ha già deciso con chi stare. Amy ha paura dell’amore, a causa di quello che ha passato con Austin, il suo ex ragazzo, ma Tex non mollerà finché lei non sarà sua. EVER COMPLETE SERIES (Serie completa in volume unico) EVER 1 AFTER YOU EVER 2 BEFORE YOU EVER 3 AGAIN YOU EVER 4 OVER YOU EVER 5 ALWAYS YOU Tex non è come appare, un bastardo che ama giocare con i sentimenti delle donne. So che non è così, anche se tutti pensano che io sia soltanto un’illusa a credere di essere qualcosa di speciale per lui. Rimaniamo a scrutarci negli occhi, per infiniti attimi. È lui a parlare per primo. «Perché sei uscita con Will Tucker?» «E tu perché sei uscito con quella ragazza?» ribatto, considerando che anche io sono gelosa. Lui lo sa, oramai è inutile mentire a noi stessi. Mi si avvicina, i suoi occhi non mi sono mai sembrati così blu come in questo momento. Vorrei dirgli quello che provo, che soffro e sto male da morire ogni volta che lo vedo con un’altra, ma non ci riesco. Tex lo capisce. In un attimo mi abbraccia, senza darmi il tempo di reagire. Non mi allontano, amo il calore del suo corpo. La sua bocca raggiunge la mia e ci baciamo. È uno di quei baci che soltanto lui sa dare, che mi fanno quasi svenire. Adesso lo so, è Tex l’unico ragazzo con cui potrei stare, e mi maledico per questo, perché non dovrei neppure avvicinarmi a uno come lui. Ma non posso farne a meno. Mi sono persa dentro i suoi occhi blu dalla prima volta che l’ho visto. Tex Pratt è diventato la mia ossessione.

Young Blood (An Umbrella Academy YA Novel)

By: Alyssa Sheinmel

The official prequel novel to the hit Umbrella Academy series on Netflix, starring a teenaged Umbrella Academy in an original, darkly comic adventure written by New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Sheinmel. The Umbrella Academy has always been extraordinary—ready to leap to superpowered action at a moment’s notice. But now that Five has disappeared and their fame has crested, sometimes the only thing Luther, Diego, Allison, Klaus, Ben, and Viktor want is to be normal. . . which is much easier said than done, when you’re raised by someone like Hargreeves. For their exacting and tyrannical father figure, nothing is ever enough; which is why, during a dinnertime debriefing on their latest mission, Ben snaps, prompting Klaus to suggest that they all need a change of scenery—just one night of partying like a bunch of average teens. In fact, Klaus knows just the place; there’s a frat house in a neighboring college town that throws weekend blowouts. What could go wrong? They soon realize sneaking out of Hargreeves’s house—er, fortress—is the least of their concerns. When the six teens pledge not to use their powers under any circumstances, they fail to factor in the sheer force of teen drama. Faced with weird earthquakes, weirder partygoers, and a possible new foe, the Umbrella Academy must choose between the night they always dreamed of and an unexpected mission that may save the world and—finally—secure Hargreeves’s approval.
