Animal Architects: Building and the Evolution of Intelligence \
James L. Gould, Carol Grant Gould

Basic Books, 2007

Maps charting reasoning
Asking a lone wasp dragging a cricket across a paddock how she finds her way home won't elicit much response. Interrogating a honeybee about why she's doing this task now, while she was engaged in something entirely different a short time ago will net you little ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Moon Knight, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)
Doug Moench, Jack S. Harris, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Moon Knight is the Best
Its been a little more than a year since volume 1 came out, and I've found that volume 2 is as good or even better than the first one. The art continues to improve, and being in black and white just adds to the mysterious feel of Moon Knight. This volume contains ...
  
  











  



  
Diagnostic Imaging: Pediatric Neuroradiology
A. James Barkovich, Kevin R. Moore, ...

AMIRSYS, 2007

Not enough text!
The problem with this new series of books is that they contain only lists of differential diagnoses and do not contain the text which usually places the pathology within the clinical context. I guess it is the way the want to write textbooks now but it is very ...

Minding Mister Market:: Ten Years on Wall Street with Grant's Interest Rate Observer
James Grant

Three Rivers Press, 1994

Insightful, witty analysis of the market and market players
Mr. Grant's analysis and insight into market inconsistencies, anomalies, and absurdities is refreshing in this age of me too financial journalism. The articles, taken from Grant's Interest Rate Observer, are as original in thought as they are uncompromising in their ...
  
  











  



  
Peak States of Consciousness: Theory and Applications, Volume 1: Breakthrough Techniques for Exceptional ...
Grant McFetridge, James Hardt

Institute for the Study of Peak States Press, 2004

The real stuff
I've looked at many books on how to transform your life. Most focus on the old paradigm of "work at it until you get it" with regards to transformation. This book takes a novel approach - we have these peak states and capabilities inherent in us as our birthright ...

Mr. Market Miscalculates: The Bubble Years and Beyond
James Grant

Axios Press, 2008

In a Rising Market, It's More Profitable not to Ask
"The Cassandra industry is not so remunerative as the hedge fund business, so the professional investors and bankers stay in the race, taking the kind of risks that their better judgment tells them to avoid." states James Grant in his 'Mr. Market Miscalculates, The ...
  
  











  



  
Bernard M. Baruch: The Adventures of a Wall Street Legend (Trailblazers, Rediscovering the Pioneers of ...
James Grant

Wiley, 1997

Great Story
The story is fascinating and you can't help but like Baruch despite his ego. Grant does a nice job although more because he was truly interested in the man rather than because he's a great biographer.
  
  











  



  
John Adams: Party of One
James Grant

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005

Far better than McCullough -- a splendid biography of a fascinating subject
Written with clarity and grace, supported by thorough research, and characterized throughout by scholarly care and respect for both primary and secondary sources, this is the large biography of John Adams to read. It is half the length of David McCullough's tome, but ...
  
  











  



  
The Trouble With Prosperity: A Contrarian's Tale of Boom, Bust, and Speculation
James Grant

Crown Business, 1998

A must-read for anyone in the stock market
When I first started investing in stocks, I read two financial books with two very different slants on the markets. The first was Peter Lynch's "One Up on Wall Street" - a breezy, everyone-can-do-it, "buy what you know" feel-good primer. The second was this book, ...

I Would Lick It For Hours: Two Lumps-Year One
Mel Hynes, James Grant

StoneGarden.net Publishing, 2007

One of my favorite strips
I've been a fan of the Two Lumps strip for a while now on the net, (www.twolumps.net) and I'm very happy to finally have a bit of it in my hands. To quote Jennie Breeden's (author of excellent webcomic The Devil's Panties) introduction to the book, "Plenty of ...
  
  











  



  
Personal Memoirs (Penguin Classics)
Ulysses S. Grant

Penguin Classics, 1999

Simplicity of character is sometimes the highest form
