With personal interactions giving way to increasingly high tech "touch points" (email, telephone conferences, IM/text messaging, blogs, wikis, social networks, etc.) I fear we might be losing an innate ability to communicate on a deep, personal level. "The Nonverbal Advantage" makes up for this shortcoming with powerful, easy ...             Guide to Hedge Funds: What They Are, What They Do, Their Risks, Their Advantages (Economist (Hardcover)) ...1 review Philip Coggan Bloomberg Press, 2008 A good description of funds A good description of what hedge funds are, what they do, how they make money, how they affect out economy and who runs them.             Bargaining for Advantage: Negotiation Strategies for Reasonable People 2nd Edition14 reviews G.

Nevertheless, I was pretty skeptical about a book that treats upper class ...             Just Say No to Cardio: Burn Belly Fat in Half the Time Using Research Proven Turbulence Training Craig Ballantyne Advantage Media Group, 2008 Using research proven Turbulence Training techniques, you can burn belly fat in half the time and never do boring cardio again.

J. Frost, Robert R., Jr. Prechter Wiley, 2001 Classic This is the classic book on Elliott Wave Theory. As such I would recommend it for everyone to read. One doesn't have to go hardcore Elliott, but just the psychological descriptions of market mood are important. If you want you can then go hardcore and label every minute swing if you want to. I don't know the value of that latter approach, but that is not material. Elliott will always be a ...             Firstborn Advantage, The: Making Your Birth Order Work for You2 reviews Dr. Kevin Leman Revell, 2008 A Great Read I have heard Dr. Leman on numerous occasions on the radio, and after one such interview I decided to purchase a copy of his latest book The First Born Advantage.
