Acclaimed Boston photographer Bill Brett returns with Boston, Irish, a collection of more than 260 black-and-white photographs of the people and the city he loves. It is his most personal book yet. Building on his four previous books, Boston, Irish turns the lens on Bill's own community, the city's Irish Americans. Dedicated to his mother, Mary Ann Brett, Boston, Irish chronicles and crystallizes a unique period in the city's history. A time that won't be seen again, inhabited by newly-arrived immigrants and second- and third-generation Irish-Americans. Boston, Irish covers every aspect of the region s Irish-American community with portraits and stories ranging from a 99-year-old nun to a colorful funeral home director to an Irish tenor to a New York Times best-selling novelist. It also explores the full breadth of the Irish immigrant experience, representing those from the Republic and Northern Ireland and both Roman Catholics and Protestants alike. To all those who knew her, Mary Ann Brett was the embodiment of grit, heart, and faith. For her and those of her immigrant generation, Boston's sense of Irish community didn't stop with one family or a single neighborhood. It was felt grandly, holding in its embrace the Irish Americans from Beacon Hill and City Hall to the very last street in the city. When the world thinks of Boston, they think of the Irish as the city's bulwark community. What Bill Brett thinks of Boston runs much deeper and can be found on each and every page of Boston, Irish.

""With virtually unlimited access to the city's leaders, the Boston Globe's society photographer has spent the past two years stitching together a beautiful portrait of Boston-not the bricks and buildings, but the people who make it move. There are celebrities aplenty here (from pols and pundits to actors and artists) but there are also dozens of images of community leaders who donate their time and money to make Boston a """"family"""" more than ever.

Myths and misconceptions prevent many owners of closely held businesses from considering selling their companies through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). For many such owners, ESOPs have advantages in terms of tax, financial, and intangible issues that no other transaction method can offer. This book is designed to educate owners, managers, and advisors of closely held businesses on selling to an ESOP. It describes how ESOPs work and what the basic rules are; alternative sale strategies and how they compare to an ESOP sale; financing and feasibility; and the tax-deferred Section 1042 rollover, which has benefited many selling owners over the years. Armed with this book, you will be able to make a more informed decision about selling to an ESOP. Aside from updates to existing chapters and new material on investing the proceeds of the sale, the 10th edition (2017) features an analysis of crucial data from the NCEO's pioneering survey on ESOP transactions.
