Art of Contrary Thinking
Humphrey Bancroft Neill

Caxton Press, 1997

One of the Best of Its Kind
Often, less experienced investors overlook the big picture topics such as macroeconmics and behavioral finance and focus on the investment book of the month which is invariably trash. This book was originally written many decades ago and the fact that it is still ...
  
  











  



  
Contrary to Love: Helping the Sexual Addict
Patrick Carnes

Hazelden, 1994

Far more than meets the eye
For me it would have been more difficult to appreciate this book had I not read "Out of the Shadows." I had purchased these books over ten years ago but only read them within the past few months. One of the great values of Carnes approach is his no wholes barred, ...

Songs of Innocence and Experience: Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul, 1789-1794 (Oxford ...
William Blake

Oxford University Press, USA, 1977

Blake's most popular illuminated works in a fine edition
These are Blake's most popular and accessible works, by far. The poems combined with the wonderful drawings make powerful and memorable statements that stay in your heart and mind. Several, such as "The Tyger", "The Chimney Sweeper", and "London", are very well ...
  
  











  



  
Dow Theory Today (Fraser Publishing Library) (The Contrary Opinion Library)
Richard Russell

Fraser Publishing Co., 1997

Good introduction to Dow's Theory
Richard Russell is one of the few 'old fogeys' (as Mark Hulbert likes to say) still analyzing the market who went through the last market top and then the 70s bear market. This book is a collection of a series of articles Russell wrote between 1958 and 1960, in which ...
  
  











  



  
Contrary Notions: The Michael Parenti Reader
Michael Parenti

City Lights Publishers, 2007

The unvarnished truth about American Politics and Power
Maybe the first thing I noticed was that whenever I heard the word "democracy" used, and considered its context and meaning, that what was really meant was "capitalism." A typical example might be "we must defend democracy..." where what was really meant is "we must ...
  
  











  



  
The Theory of Investment Value (Fraser Publishing Library) (Contrary Opinion Library)
John Burr Williams

Fraser Publishing Co., 1997

Awesome book on classical valuation
This is probably one of the oldest, if not the first, serious academic works on valuation. The coverage is highly theoretical compared to the more practical valuation books of today (dividends are used instead of free cash flow, continuous time is used instead of ...
  
  











  



  
The Nature of Risk (Fraser Publishing Library) (Contrary Opinion Library)
Justin Mamis

Fraser Publishing Co., 1999

Still near the top of the list
It's been four years since I first reviewed this book (see the next to the last, below), and I still consider it to be absolutely essential for anyone considering any sort of involvement in the financial markets. In fact, it's probably essential for anyone who is ...
  
  











  



  
The Contrary Farmer (Real Goods Independent Living Book)
Gene Logsdon

Chelsea Green, 1995

the best small farm book availabel
I've purchased every small farm book out there and this is the only book i'd recommend to anyone interested in starting a "small" farm. It gives you insight for pretty much everything you need to know to get started. Don't waste your time on any other books just get ...

God Does Exist!: Defending the faith using pre-suppositional apologetics, evidence, and the impossibility of ...
Michael, A. Robinson

AuthorHouse, 2005

Well begun is half done!
I know the author of this book personally, and have heard him ably defend the position he espouses here. The book is a worthwhile attempt to allow the lay reader to sound out the depths of presuppositional apologetics in the style of Van Til and Bahnsen. As one might ...
  
  











  



  
On the Contrary: Critical Essays, 1987-1997
Paul M. Churchland, Patricia Smith Churchland

The MIT Press, 1999

Very good. Almost excellent.
A good collection of essays by recognized leaders in a burgeoning field of philosophy. Some are only useful if what the article is discussing is quite familiar to the reader. This holds in particular for some of the articles on qualia and the article on R. Penrose. It ...
  
  











  



  
How I Trade and Invest in Stocks and Bonds (Fraser Publishing Library) (Contrary Opinion Library)
Richard D. Wyckoff

Fraser Publishing Co., 1983

A Pioneer
Virtually everything written after Livermore and Wyckoff are variations on themes developed by these two men. Wyckoff was among the first to explain the accumulation-distribution cycle (which makes stock and market timing possible) and to develop the use of ...
