Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause5 reviews
Tom Gjelten

Viking Adult, 2008

Exceptional Book
I am Cuban-born, and have throughly enjoyed this book and am buying copies to send to all my children, one of which is NPR's Baghdad Bureau Chief. It is historically accurate, very well written, and portrays Cuba and the Bacardi family with knowledge and understanding. It is truly a brilliant achievement and recommend anyone who is interested in Cuba to read it. 		  
  







  
  
Fast Food Nation1402 reviews
Eric Schlosser

Harper Perennial, 2005

The true world of Fast Food opens before your eyes!
This book is truly interesting in that it explains a process that many consumers thought that they were already familiar with. This book will explain why: 1) it always seems the person at the register is being "trained". 2) kids flock to most fast food joints. 3) the fast food industry exploded with growth in the last 30 years. 4) This country needs an alternative to our current ...

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America1079 reviews
Barbara Ehrenreich

Holt Paperbacks, 2002

Must read for the 'Haves' in this country
I have to admit, I grew up as person of privilege. I am from a large home in suburbia and drove a Mercedes SUV to high school every day. I was always taught to appreciate the things you have, and how lucky I am. Being born into wealth doesn't take talent, it takes luck. Even being born in the United States alone takes luck, you only had a 5% chance of being born here. This book reaffirmed my ...

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann

Harper, 2008

Fleeced
Dick Morris pointed out a lot of problems that needed to changed in this country. My take is John McCain is the one that can get a lot of these changes done.

The Secret History of the American Empire: The Truth About Economic Hit Men, Jackals, and How to Change the ...59 reviews
John Perkins

Plume, 2008

Sad but true, and time for us to act
Perkins once again tells it like it is. We are part of the problem. Our addiction to cheap clothing and exercise equipment (put together in tropical sweatshops by people living only marginally better than inmates of Nazi prison camps) fuels the system. We have to change, to live sustainable lifestyles. Read the book. Once you understand the problem, you will want to be part of the solution.

Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse: A Novel of the Turbulent Near Future (Expanded and Updated 33 ...169 reviews
James Wesley Rawles

Xlibris Corporation, 2006

TEOTWAWKI
Much has been written about this book, both pro and con, over the years. What it is, is an excellent survival handbook, written in a very readable, fictional format. What it isn't, is a literary classic. I have heard people comment about it's lack of sophistication or White Christian Male view-point. Get over it. The basic knowledge is there for anyone who: a) thinks that the world may see ... 		  
  







  
  
Financial Management: Theory & Practice (with Thomson ONE - Business School Edition 1-Year Printed Access ...13 reviews
Eugene F. Brigham, Michael C. Ehrhardt

South-Western College Pub, 2007

Amazing book and Fantastic Shipping, Amazon!
This book is simply amazing, very easy to follow and learn. It explains basic concepts, and has some useful material - in the book as well as online - that will help you. I frankly didn't even need the study guide; I thought the book by itself was great for me. The authors have taken a lot of trouble with detailing and giving examples, for someone new to finance to pick up on. There are chapters ... 		  
  







  
  
Essential Elements 2000 for Strings Plus DVD: Violin11 reviews

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2002

Well thought out series.
"For a real violin study, go with Suzuki." While that might work for a child that is ages 3-4 in a one-on-one or small group setting (which is what the Suzuki Method was intended for), it does not work well in large group learning situation for kids who are twice that age, beginning instruments in fourth and fifth grade. And to be honest, almost everything in the Suzuki method *IS* an ... 		  
  







  
  
The Beatles Complete Chord Songbook69 reviews
The Beatles

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2000

Must Have for Beatles Lovers
The title of this book says it all...Complete Chord Songbook. If you love the Beatles and aspire to play their music on the guitar, I would highly recommend this book to you. If you know basic chords, you will be able to play many of the songs as soon as you pick it up. If not, each song has chord diagrams so you can easily figure them out. I can't speak for the professional musician, but if ... 		  
  







  
  
Green to Gold: How Smart Companies Use Environmental Strategy to Innovate, Create Value, and Build ...18 reviews
Daniel C. Esty, Andrew S. Winston

Yale University Press, 2006

Green to Gold
Esty and Winston seem to be a perfect duo to write this book. Together they have a very strong and complementing background, ranging from experiences in academics and government to green and strategy consulting. The result is a book that has the right balance of theory and practice. While many books on green business only focus on the bright side, Esty & Winston are more realistic. They admit ...

Sandra K. Nissenberg

Adams Media Corporation, 2002

A very kid-friendly cookbook!
We have had this cookbook for about a year and have used it quite a bit when planning weekly menus. The recipes don't have too many ingredients and they are very kid-friendly. My son is 9 years-old and he loves to make the double chocolate chip cookies. We like everything we have cooked from this book, and it is good when you are trying to increase the number of items a fussy eater will ... 		  
  







  
  
The Real Book: Sixth Edition43 reviews
Hal Leonard Corporation

Hal Leonard Corporation, 2004

A Necessity for Jazz Musicians
Put simply, if you want to play jazz, you need to know the tunes in this book. My guitar teachers have given mixed reviews of some of the arrangements of the tunes, but nonetheless, the Real Book is a must-have for any serious jazz musician.

Harvard Business School Press, 2006

Great for anyone

Free Press, 2003

Very readable look at "Lean Thinking"
Lean is a specific management technique to make an organization more efficient (and a private sector company more profitable). This book is a well written introduction to the subject. The authors, James Womack and Daniel Jones, provide lots of examples to illustrate their basic points. Thus, this is a very useful introduction to the subject, for those of us who are not experts on this matter. ...

Rich Dad Advisor's Series: Own Your Own Corporation: Why the Rich Own Their Own Companies and Everyone Else ...52 reviews
Garrett Sutton, Robert T. Kiyosaki, ...

Warner Business Books, 2001

Informative and Logical
As a general practitioner, not a specialist in asset planning but nevertheless having to advise clients with business concerns and real estate interests, this book is the best on the subject that I've come across. It's actually more informative and logical than bar association materials I've referenced in the past.
