Hirsch, Yale Hirsch Wiley, 2009 Stock Trader's Almanac 2010 If you trade stocks I would highly recommend it. Also makes a nice diary.

I'm a psychologist, who spent upwards of 20 years studying creativity (from an academic/ cognitive science perspective). I have also belonged to an internet mail list dealing with the subject for upwards of 20 years; a list comprised of people from all different disciplines. I have read a great ...             Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect, Helped Found the Religious Right, and Lived to Take All (or ...118 reviews Frank Schaeffer Da Capo Press, 2008 RIGHT ON!!!!!! I recently saw the author interviewed on TV. I have read several books his father wrote and I also grew up in a "fundamentalist" home and church. It has taken many years of personal and spiritual growth and therapy to get rid of bad religion to keep good spirituality. I could have written this book out of my own religious and intellectual experiences. It was right on - a four-star ...             The Miracle at Speedy Motors (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency)103 reviews Alexander Mccall Smith Anchor, 2009 Awesome...as always! Does not disappoint.

Senge Broadway Business, 2006 Senge is the Reader and That Really Makes This Interesting Aside from content, I want to emphasize the greatness of this book due to Senge as reader. He is far from the typical reader of a business audiobook. He has a background that incorporates philosophy and meditation and his voice sounds friendly and one of humility. I listened to this book many times driving back and forth when I was working at a small software company. Like most such companies ...             The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (Book 1)451 reviews Alexander McCall Smith Anchor, 2003 Charming mysteries I don't normally like mysteries, because I hate blood and gore and suspense. But I have to say that this book was really charming. Although it has 'detective' in the title, the mysteries are not the central theme of this book at all. This is a book about the main character and about her country - the mysteries she handles are supporting plots, and they are not bloody or gory. I'm looking forward ...             Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud, and Deception to Keep You Misinformed56 reviews Christopher C. Horner Regnery Press, 2008 Exploding watermelons cause global panic Until a week ago, this book could have been (and was) dismissed as "denial." The "scientific truth," we were told, lay in the hands of "peer-reviewed climate science." Oops. (That may be the biggest "oops" in the history of science.) Climategate is upon us. The world has suddenly been handed hard evidence that the whole theory of AGW is not "science as usual," but a tidy bit of ...              search for books accompany, adulthood, alarmists, attention, centennial, childhood, deception, detective, discipline, distraction, homestretch, innovation, learning, misinformed, monograph, oppressed, organization, organizations, partnerships, pedagogy, performance, practice, racehorses, radicals, recognizing, religious, rewriting, thinking, traditionally, transforms books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
