Awesome information!

Making Your Case: The Art of Persuading Judges
Antonin Scalia, Bryan A. Garner

Thomson West, 2008

Persuasion from a legal point of view
I am not a lawyer, but I love reading about persuasion and influence. This book caught my attention out of left field, but it certainly added a lot of value to my understanding of persuasion from a logical and argumentative point of view. Most of the books I've read ...
  
  











  



  
Just Who Will You Be?: Big Question. Little Book. Answer Within.
Maria Shriver

Hyperion, 2008

A lovely graduation present
This little book will give an inspirational boost to almost any new high school, or middle school, graduate. Though its advice might be too lightweight for college grads, and a little too sunny for kids from deprived backgrounds, the book is still a terrific gift ...
  
  











  



  
The Demise of the Dollar...And Why It's Even Better for Your Investments (Agora Series)
Addison Wiggin

Wiley, 2008

New and improved
I read the first edition in early 2006, and it's a little breathtaking how many of its big-picture prognostications have come to pass -- especially the collapse of the housing market and the dramatically shrinking purchasing power of the bills in our wallets. Now, as ...

Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
Greg Mortenson, David Oliver Relin

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007

Three Cups of Tea is EXCELLENT!
I'm only halfway through but the book is difficult to put down. What's more incredible is that the story is true! This should be required reading for high school kids.... for everyone. It gives the reader such a huge appreciation of another world so far away and the ...
  
  











  



  
Gorgeously Green: 8 Simple Steps to an Earth-Friendly Life
Sophie Uliano

Collins, 2008

A Must Have Book!
I have been looking for a book like this for a while now. More and more we are becoming aware of the impact we make on the environment and I for one strive to do my part. However, it's overwhelming to research and personally test out everything out there, which is one ...
  
  











  



  
The Revolution: A Manifesto
Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Great Intro to Dr. Paul for Friends!
I bought several copies to give to family and friends to introduce them to Dr. Paul. Others, never would take the time to do their own research, but I hope by giving them the book they feel indebted enough to read the book. I myself found the book a great refresher ...

Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
Kevin Phillips

Viking Adult, 2008

Insightful, but Incomplete and Rapidly Becoming Dated!
"Bad Money" is about the insecurity of America's future given a debt-gorged financial sector, and vulnerability caused by expensive dependence on imported oil. The term refers not just to the depreciated dollar but also dangerous attitudes and flawed financial ...
  
  











  



  
The Trillion Dollar Meltdown: Easy Money, High Rollers, and the Great Credit Crash
Charles R. Morris

PublicAffairs, 2008

K.I.S.S.
The book was well written and easy to understand. It read like a long article as opposed to some dense and boring book. The author did right by keeping his views and opinions to the last two chapters. The reader can go along making his/her own assumptions up until the ...
  
  











  



  
Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope
Don & Susie Van Ryn, Newell, Colleen & Whitney Cerak

Howard Books, 2008

What a testimony!
The story of Whitney Cerak is amazing in itself but the unwavering faith and strength displayed by both families is a true testimony for both the believer and nonbeliever. Nowhere in the book do either family get "preachy" in their words. They state feelings of ...
  
  











  



  
Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness
Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein

Yale University Press, 2008

Second best book I've read on human decisions
Thaler and Sunstein are among another wave of academics that help keep my home town, Chicago,on the intellectual hilltop. This wasn't exactly what I was expecting, since the title seems to indicate something about decision psychology in general not a particular ...

Barack Obama

Three Rivers Press, 2007

A wonderful and inspiring book
Whether you've been swept up by Obama mania or are just curious, this book is a must read. So inspiring, informative and well written that I would recommend it to anyone regardless of your political persuasion. I was just learning about Senator Obama when I picked up ...
