This book examines the Model Rules of Professional Responsibility, statutory and regulatory rules governing tax practice and uses problems to explore the application of these rules in the tax context. As financial scandals continue and tax transactions become increasingly complex, people studying in this area of law need a text designed to deal with specific problems that arise often in the tax field.

Evaluating Life: Working With Ethical Dilemmas In Education For Sustainable Development, Moa De Lucia Dahlbeck, Johan Dahlbeck

Moa Dahlbeck

Pervasive Location Tracking: A Privacy Protection Perspective, Harlan Onsrud

Harlan J Onsrud

A laudable goal of ubiquitous computing is to enhance our day-to-day living by invisibly embedding sensors and computing platforms in our stationary and mobile surroundings.

Sensors in and on our bodies will communicate through our phones, cars, offices, homes, transportation infrastructure, and with objects along our travel paths. Numerous visions …
