  The gift of giving is at the core of family wealth and with the new  estate law allowing up to $5,120,000 in tax-free gifting, the  ultra-affluent are faced with the task of giving in the largest  amount in estate tax history. Beyond the tax saving and wealth  management implications, the act of giving in such a generous  amount opens up a slew of new issues for wealthy families, the  biggest of which is: how do I prepare the recipient of such a hefty  gift? With that question in mind, Hughes, Massenzio, and Whitaker  have written Wisdom and Wealth in three main parts:  The Who of Giving, The How of Giving,  and The What and Why of Giving. The first part deals  exclusively with the people most deeply involved in family giving,  especially the recipients and givers (parents, grandparents,  spouses, trustees). The second part, The How of  Giving, addresses the delicate balance of givers who want to  maintain some level of control and recipients who want some level  of freedom in accepting and growing the gift. The final part,  The What and Why of Giving describes various types of  gifts, from money to business interests to values and rituals. The  authors also introduce their family bank concept as a  model that combines loans, trusts, and outright gifts. It embodies  a framework and set of practices for long-term family growth.

  Worn Out - How Our Clothes Cover...

  Worn Out examines the underside of our historic clothing binge and the fashion industry's fall from grace. Former InStyle senior news editor and seasoned journalist Alyssa Hardy's riveting work explores the lives of the millions of garment workers—mostly women of color—who toil in the fashion industry around the world—from LA-based sweatshop employees who experience sexual abuse while stitching clothes for H&M, Fashion Nova, and Levi's to "homeworkers" in Indonesia who are unknowingly given carcinogenic materials to work with. Worn Out exposes the complicity of celebrities whose endorsements obscure the exploitation behind marquee brands and also includes interviews with designers such as Mara Hoffman, whose business models are based on ethical production standards. 
   
   
   
  Like many of us, Hardy believes in the personal, political, and cultural place fashion has in our lives, from seed to sew to closet, and that it is still okay to indulge in its glitz and glamour. But the time has come, she argues, to force real change on an industry that prefers to keep its dark side behind the runway curtain. The perfect book for people who are passionate about clothing and style, Worn Out seeks to engage in a real conversation about who gets harmed by fast fashion—and offers meaningful solutions for change.

  James Russell Lowell was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. He is associated with the Fireside Poets, a group of New England writers who were among the first American poets who rivaled the popularity of British poets. These poets usually used conventional forms and meters in their poetry, making them suitable for families entertaining at their fireside."Lowell's poem "The Present Crisis," an early work that addressed the national crisis over slavery leading up to the Civil War, has had an impact in the modern civil rights movement. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People named its newsletter The Crisis after the poem, and Martin Luther King, Jr. frequently quoted the poem in his speeches and sermons. The poem was also the source of the hymn Once to Every Man and Nation." - Summary by Wikipedia
