Many Happy Returns
The inside story of H&R Block's entrepreneurial founder Henry Bloch In 1955 Henry Bloch and his brother Dick founded H&R Block. Through a mixture of hard work and luck, they transitioned this Kansas City based bookkeeping business into a tax preparation firm just as the IRS stopped preparing tax returns for people. Over the course of more than fifty years, the company grew to become the largest tax preparation firm in the world, serving more than twenty million clients a year. Many Happy Returns tells the compelling story of this company and its founder through Thomas Bloch, Henry's son, who worked along side his father for nearly twenty years. Page by page, you'll discover the rich history ...
Stand for the Best
Thirteen years ago, Tom Bloch was CEO of H&R Block, the groundbreaking tax organization. The son of the company’s founder, he was a happily married 41-year-old executive, but something was missing from his life. After a nineteen-year career at the company, Bloch resigned his position to become a math teacher in an impoverished inner-city section of Kansas City. Stand for the Best reveals Bloch’s struggles to make a difference for his marginalized students and how he eventually co-founded a successful charter school, University Academy.
Many Happy Returns

Discover how he started his company from the bottom up, and get a rare look at the inner dynamics of one of the most well-known brands in America.

This book is a fascinating portrait of one of America's greatest entrepreneurs, and it shows you what it takes to succeed in both your professional and personal life.
Ernst Bloch’s Speculative Materialism
In Ernst Bloch’s Speculative Materialism: Ontology, Epistemology, Politics, Cat Moir offers a new interpretation of the philosophy of Ernst Bloch. The reception of Bloch’s work has seen him variously painted as a naïve realist, a romantic nature philosopher, a totalitarian thinker, and an irrationalist whose obscure literary style stands in for a lack of systematic rigour. Moir challenges these conceptions of Bloch by reconstructing the ontological, epistemological, and political dimensions of his speculative materialism. Through a close, historically contextualised reading of Bloch’s major work of ontology, Das Materialismusproblem, seine Geschichte und Substanz (The Materialism Problem, its History and Substance), Moir presents Bloch as one of the twentieth century’s most significant critical thinkers.
