When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long-Term Capital Management
An excellent read & indeed very relevant in today's' times when we see fiascos in the financial markets repeated almost every day. I expect another book from Roger Lowenstein soon on Bear Stearns, Lehman, Merrill Lynch & the state of financial markets (today). God ...

Good Stories, Stellar Presentation
This collection features some of the weakest and some of the strongest parts of "After the Fall." Naturally, the flow isn't as strong as the actual meat of the series (issues 1-5, 9-) because this is made up of five-seven page one-shots that tell what happened to the ...

I used this book this semester while student teaching with a Kinder class. The kids really loved the illustrations, and the explanation of why the leaves fall. They were fascinated with the explanation of the pigment for red, yellow, and orange already being there. I'd ...

Chinua Achebe
Anchor

What makes fiction important
I know this is the classic debate of all time when it comes to literature: Is it about beautifully written prose (THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE, incidentally, is a good example of this problem) or does it tell a compelling story? (yet the prose itself is not its strong ...

Jodi Picoult Does It Again
Jodi Picoult is one of my new favorite authors. She certainly knows how to write a page-turner and how to straddle the line between "serious" and popular fiction. So far I have read Plain Truth, Harvesting the Heart, My Sister's Keeper, and this novel, Salem Falls. My ...

Lee Smolin
Mariner Books

This is a VERY good book
about the sociology of science, and I agree completely with what it says about it, and on the need to parcel funds and scientists more equably among the several possible approaches (for example, to fundamental physical theories). The trouble is that men are not angels, ...
