On Bullshit 174 reviews
Harry G. Frankfurt
Princeton University Press, 2005
Reference guide to business ethics
+ Two Key Points -- No BS
+ Thin and Expensive but interesting

The Wisdom of Crowds161 reviews
James Surowiecki
Anchor, 2005
great stuff!
+ UNique thinking for these turbulent times
+ Why don't quantum physicists let a crowd predict the Higgs' particle mass-energy?
