Not for Sale: The Return of the Global Slave Trade--and How We Can Fight It

17 reviews
David Batstone

HarperOne, 2007

great overall picture - hopeful
I've only read three books on the subject of modern day slavery and human trafficking, but this is by far the best. It covers varying types of bondage, with just enough detail to grasp the horror of it, but combined with hopeful stories of everyday men and women making a difference - small and large. I highly recommend this as the right mix of statistics and stories. This is one I can suggest ...

12 reviews
Conor O'Clery

PublicAffairs, 2007

Prosperity Classic
In 1988, Forbes magazine's annual list of America's most wealthy listed Charles F Feeney as the 23rd richest American alive, whose personal worth of $1.3 billion was greater than Rupert Murdoch or Donald Trump. In fact, four years earlier Feeney had secretly given away almost his entire fortune to a philanthropic trust. He had enough to live on for the rest of his life, but no longer even owned a ...

Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate

62 reviews
Elizabeth Pantley

New Harbinger Publications, 1996

very useful book
I highly recommend this book. Very helpful, especially for those parents that fail to be consistent and "go with the flow", failing to create strong rules and a loving, solid discipline. This books acts a self-confidence booster for parents, offers very empathetic advice when it comes to parental anger, and actually gives very practical tips and hints to deal with misbehavior. I love the ...

Mutual aid a factor of evolution,

Petr Alekseevich Kropotkin

Heinemann, 1910

Required bio reading
This book, which appears to be about the only surviving scientific text from Kropotkin's work, is very interesting and insightful. The first two chapters which deal with animals I found most interesting, because they address the roots of the falsehood of social-darwinism. Kropotkin then proceeds to move through the different stages of human society and describes the mutual aid a compassion ...

High Noon

Jean-francois Rischard

Basic Books, 2002

Straight-Forward, Understandable, URGENT, "Strong Buy"
Edit of 21 Dec 07 to aadd comment and links. Comment: This is still the best strategic overview and a book I would recommend all. See the others below. Having read perhaps 20 of the best books on global issues and environmental sustainability, water scarcity, ocean problems, etc, over the past few years (most reviewed here on Amazon) I was prepared for a superficial summary, political ...

Their finest hour

12 reviews
Winston Churchill

Published in association with the Cooperation Pub. Co, 1949

The Finest of the Series
After reading this book, you truly begin to see how narrow minded the average American perception of World War II really is. Not to discount the magnificant American battles such as the landing at Normandy or the Battle for Midway, but the Battle for Britain was absolutely the finest display of honor and courage throughout the entire war. This tiny island and it's courageous people stood alone ...

Teamwork & Teamplay: A Guide to Cooperative, Challenge, and Adventure Activities That Build Confidence, ...

Jim Cain, Barry Jolliff

Kendall Hunt Pub Co, 1997

Almost as good as in person
Jim Cain recently conducted a workshop for our ACA group. He mentioned that the book came about because he was giving out a thick stack of hand-outs at his workshops that were darn close to a book. So he put them together and created this book. The energy and spirit that Jim shows in his workshops is clearly reflected in this book. Although nothing can really replace an "in-person" ...

Game Theory and Strategy (Mathematical Association of America Textbooks)

7 reviews
Philip D. Straffin

The Mathematical Association of America, 1996

An Excellent Small Book on Game Theory
I read a couple of books on game theory. This is one of the better books... but it also has one small advantage... it's small. I carry it almost everywhere and read its short chapters (another advantage) without getting too tired. It's also quite difficult to get tired reading the book as the author keeps his explanations fairly simple, lively, and to the point. A good spread of topics and ...

Well Connected: Releasing Power and Restoring Hope

8 reviews
Phill Butler

Authentic, 2006

Just the best on the topic
A vital book on a vital subject - how to actually co-operate across organizational or denominational barriers on Christian projects which would be impossible alone. I liked the frequent case studies and practical advice, all offered in a gentle spirit, obviously from many years of experience.

Asia's New Regionalism

5 reviews
Ellen L. Frost

Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2008

New Mental Maps
Asia's New Regionalism, by Ellen Frost, is an ambitious and successful attempt to break old mental maps and present new ways of looking at Asia. The central theme is the match (or lack thereof) between the fast paced regeneration of maritime Asia, linking the booming economies found along Asia's coasts from India to Japan, and the comparatively ponderous government-driven push to promote regional ...

Edward Martin Baker

Crisp Learning, 1999

An excellent contribution to organizational theory
Dr. Baker has given us an excellent reflection on the theoretical and practical aspects of systems thinking. Drawing us from a strictly mechanistic view of organizations, he leads us to a deeper understanding of the social, interactive organization, and the differences such thinking will have on our managerial actions. Second, this is an important book for educators. If we are to reform ...

Alliances: A Theory of Concerted Human Behavior

5 reviews
Stephen W. Eubank

Catellus Publishing, 2006

ALLIANCES: A Counter to Chaos
When the first human beings began to realize that the key to survival lay more in co-operation than in individual effort, they instituted the beginnings of social contracts that promised to achieve both implicit and express motives and desires. These contracts have continued to grow both in number and complexity over the millennia until we today more or less assume that they form part of the ...

Terrorism and the International Legal Order:With Special Reference to the UN, the EU and Cross-Border Aspects

6 reviews

Springer, 2002

Terrorism and the International Legal Order
Since the tragic events of September 11th, there have been many books written about terrorism and the law but few are as balanced as van Krieken's Terrorism and the International Legal Order. Rather than focusing on the perpetrators or their acts, this book places terrorism in context with the various instruments of law. It is a must read for any student of international relations and/or ...

This book will definitely be required reading for military space leaders in the future, and should be read by every space leader or enthusaist today be they from the military, civil, or commercial ...

Elephant on My Roof

Erin Harris

Red Cygnet Press, Inc., 2006

Great book with more on the way!
I'm a friend of Erin's, and I just love this book: her style is so fresh, fluid, and bright, and this story seems familiar even though set in an exotic location. I wanted to let everyone know that the artist is still illustrating books under a new name: Erin Harris De La Cruz. She recently released "Frank is a Chihuahua," which features the same wonderful style you see in "Elephant on my ...

Therapeutic Trances: The Cooperation Principle in Ericksonian Hypnotherapy

7 reviews
Stephen G. Gilligan

Brunner/Mazel Publisher, 1987

a truly generative book to tackle "psychological problems"
If you are interested in Ericksonian Hypsosis, you have to read the work of Stephen Gilligan. If you haven't heard of him, I'd be surprised. Stephen's reputation travels even more than he does. Amongst NLP scholars he is known as Milton Erickson's "best" student, the person that went farthest in deep trance identification with Milton. He really started modeling Erickson at the point that NLP ...
