Paths to Wealth Through Common Stocks (Wiley Investment Classics)
Philip A. Fisher

Wiley, 2007

It's many great parts more than make up for its age
With due respect to my fellow reviewers, this book contains some of the best passages describing inflation, the real effects of Federal Reserve rate cuts and hikes (as surprising today as it was then---Fisher asserts that a loose monetary policy encourages deflation), ...
  
  











  



  
Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings (Wiley Investment Classics)
Philip A. Fisher

Wiley, 2003

Great Book for Long-term Investors
This book makes me want to finish up any other project I'm currently working on so I can spend my free time finding good investments. Excellent book, not to mention it's recommended by Warren Buffett. I was disappointed, however, that there wasn't an Unabridged ...
  
  











  



  
Hard Facts: Setting and Form in the American Novel
Philip Fisher

Oxford University Press, USA, 1986

American culture has often been described in terms of paradigmatic images--the wilderness, the Jeffersonian landscape of family farms, the great industrial cities at the turn of the 19th century. But underlying these cultural ideals are less happy paradoxes. Settling the land meant banishing the Indians and destroying the wilderness; ...
  
  











  



  
Wonder, the Rainbow, and the Aesthetics of Rare Experiences
Philip Fisher

Harvard University Press, 2003

Why pause and study this particular painting among so many others ranged on a gallery wall? Wonder, which Descartes called the first of the passions, is at play; it couples surprise with a wish to know more, the pleasurable promise that what is novel or rare may become familiar. This is a book about the aesthetics of wonder, about wonder as it ...
  
  











  



  
Discovering the Chesapeake: The History of an Ecosystem

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2001

With its rich evolutionary record of natural systems and long history of human activity, the Chesapeake Bay provides an excellent example of how a great estuary has responded to the powerful forces of human settlement and environmental change. Discovering the Chesapeake explores all of the long-term changes the Chesapeake has undergone and ...
  
  











  



  
Making and Effacing Art: Modern American Art in a Culture of Museums
Philip Fisher

Harvard University Press, 1997

In his 1923 essay, "The Problem of Museums," Paul Valery called the museum a "strange organized disorder" and likened it to a room where ten orchestras played simultaneously. Malraux similarly argued that the museum was a place for "pitting works of art against each other." But regardless of their problems, museums have become powerful influences ...
  
  











  



  
Hinduism and Ecology: The Intersection of Earth, Sky, and Water (Religions of the World and Ecology)

Center for the Study of World Religions, 2000

This fourth volume in the series exploring religions and the environment investigates the role of the multifaceted Hindu tradition in the development of greater ecological awareness in India. The twenty-two contributors ask how traditional concepts of nature in the classical texts might inspire or impede an eco-friendly attitude among modern ...
  
  











  



  
Goodness and Advice (The University Center for Human Values Series)
Judith Jarvis Thomson

Princeton University Press, 2003

a peculiar book
There is a rather peculiar book. Thompson's main goal is to criticize consequentialism but it appears that most consequentialists don't even accept the consequentialism that is her target, namely some kind of view that says we should promote *goodness simpliciter*, ...
  
  











  



  
The Vehement Passions
Philip Fisher

Princeton University Press, 2003

Intellectually challenging and well versed
Given that universities support research into whatever fields it wishes its students to learn, and that occasionally a professor takes a year at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford to summarize what he has been working on for the last ...
  
  











  



  
Research Methods for Business Students: AND Researching and Writing a Dissertation, a Guidebook for Business ...
Mark N.K. Saunders, Adrian Thornhill, ...

Financial Times/ Prentice Hall, 2007
  
  











  



  
Still the New World: American Literature in a Culture of Creative Destruction
Philip Fisher

Harvard University Press, 2000

Compelling and Well-Written
I have not come across many academics who write as lucidly and compellingly as Fisher. His prose is a pleasure to read! His observations about American culture, technology, and identity are compelling and convincing. Fisher argues that American culture is an ...
  
  











  



  
Conservative investors sleep well
Philip A Fisher

Harper & Row, 1975

A Timeless Gem
While most consider Fisher's Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits to be his classic, I believe this book to be superior. The timing of the book is outstanding. Written at the bottom of the '73-'74 bear market, Fisher makes a case to buy stocks. A quote from the ...
  
  











  



  
Developing an Investment Philosophy
Philip A. Fisher

Psr Pubns, 1991

Packs a punch for its size...
Let me first give the obligatory warning that you can get the entire text of this 47-page "book" as part of "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits and Other Writings" (itself 271 pages in length). To be fair to the work itself, I don't think you can get a more concise and ...
