In addition, while not totally eliminating the homestead exemption, there will be a cap on the amount that can be sheltered in a bankruptcy filing.  This new edition explains in simple language: € What bankruptcy is € How bankruptcy works € How to analyze your finances € What property you can keep € How to deal with creditors  A new glossary, appendix with valuable web site information, state-by-state exemptions and easy-to-use, blank tear-out forms make this book the most current product available.

During the 1960s and 1970s, Vietnam became an important part of the history of the U.S. Much of what Americans learned about the fighting and the politics came from new reports that brought the conflict into our homes. As one of the most potent vehicles of communication in the modern era, television provided a significant part of the day-to-day story that was the Vietnam War. In 1983, Public Television (PBS) broadcast a 13-part documentary series called "Vietnam: A Television History." Although acclaimed by its creators as a 'Iandmark' television production, the series has been criticized as a biased and inaccurate presentation of the war's history. LOSERS ARE PIRATES : A CLOSE LOOK AT THE PBS SERIES "VIETNAM: A TELEVISION HISTORY" supports the contention of critics that the program gives a distorted and misleading view of the Vietnam War. In this analysis of the series, writer James Banerian highlights the program's structural biases and shows how the series is a narrow and untrustworthy account of the war's history. This important analysis of the distortions created and perpetuated by the media is a vital corrective to the PBS Series. LOSERS ARE PIRATES is an interesting and useful contribution to bring truth back to the historical record of the Vietnam War. Many of the omissions, misinterpretations and instances of bias in the PBS series are pointed out by Banerian in this valuable effort to set the record straight. To understand Vietnam, one must first know how to separate fact from fiction. LOSERS ARE PIRATES is an essential guide to understanding the war. Drawing from a wide variety of sources, Banenian challenges the assertion that the PBS series is an objective and accurate portrayal of the war. It is an invaluable text for anyone who is a serious student of the Vietnam War. The book is a devastating assault on television's interpretation of the war and the media's overall influence on the perceptions of the American people. LOSERS ARE PIRATES is an indispensable tool for readers interested in questions regarding the media's role in informing and educating the public. Although the book focuses upon the PBS series, much of the contained information assembled by Banerian provides insight into the complex issues surrounding the political and military involvement in Vietnam. LOSERS ARE PIRATES is a substantial contribution to the historical record of the Vietnam War.. . and should be read by everyone interested in the accuracy of the war's history.

The Vietnam War represents the most divisive and complex war in America's history. The single most important thing about the Vietnam War is to understand it. Writing from the perspective of a Vietnamese nationalist who witnessed the complete unfolding of the drama of Vietnam, author Dr. Pham Kim Vinh confutes the prevailing mythology which has led many Americans to view the U.S. participation in Vietnam as a mistake and the sacrifice of American lives as a grave error. Dr. Vinh has attempted to set the record straight regarding the heroism and sacrifice of American soldiers who were branded "baby killers" by a propagandized home front. The author examines the decisive role of the media in the creation of many destructive myths . . . some still affecting Vietnam veterans today. Dr Vinh analyzes the reasons behind the Vietnam War and defines the lessons taught by Vietnam through the eyes of a refugee from communism. IN THEIR DEFENSE was written as a tribute from the Vietnamese people to the U.S. soldiers who fought bravely trying to help them save their homeland. It is a book about shared feelings and human bonds between the Vietnamese people and the Vietnam veterans It is our hope that this book will serve as a memorial statement from the Vietnamese people expressing the depths of their heartfelt appreciation, gratitude and respect for the supreme sacrifices made in their behalf by the Vietnam veterans. For the Vietnam veterans, this book may offer relief in knowing their feelings are shared. For those who stayed home, it is even more important. IN THEIR DEFENSE helps all readers understand the resentment of the veterans who were called to serve their country in a terrible ordeal . . . and then went unthanked for their noble sacrifices. The text represents Dr. Vinh's attempt to synthesize into human language the emotions and tribulation experienced by Vietnam veterans both during - and especially after returning home from - Vietnam. A powerful, sometimes passionate volume, IN THEIR DEFENSE will give heart to American veterans and perspective to readers seeking the truth of America's longest war. This book presents a view of the Vietnam War and the men and women who fought it that the reader will not find anywhere else. It is a must read for any serious student of the events in Southeast Asia and their subsequent effects. IN THEIR DEFENSE attempts to portray into mere words the depth of one Vietnamese refugee's gut feelings about "What Happened" in Vietnam . . . and to say to the G.I.'s who fought and died to help his people remain free from communism : "We know. We understand. Cam On."

"Every beginner needs a place to begin. For a music lover, what better place to discover more about music than between the pages of another music lover's book? The Classical Music Experience makes it easy by taking you through the history of classical music composer by composer." -Adam Duritz, lead singer, Counting Crows There are many books about classical music, but none capture the incredible range of musical styles and sounds as accessibly or in as compelling a way as The Classical Music Experience. The Classical Music Experience tells the stories of forty-two of the world's most celebrated composers, ranging from Bach, Handel, Mozart and Beethoven to Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Gershwin and Bernstein. It weaves five hundred years of history and music into a rich tapestry of sound and story unlike any other book of its kind. This is a volume to cherish and to return to again and again as you build your own classical music library and venture out to the symphony hall.
