Confessions of an Economic Hit Man621 reviews
John Perkins

Plume, 2005

5 stars!
This has got to be one of the best books I've ever read! I knew that we were a capitalistic society, and that politics were seriously corrupt- but I had no idea it was this bad! (I had the general belief that most people have good intentions) This book shows how deeply entrenched the world's problems delve into our very makeup as individuals.

Knopf, 2008

One Minute To Midnight

Dick Morris, Eileen Mcgann

Harper, 2008

Fleeced
The book is very good. Iam not happy with the fact that I was unable to change my order once I pushed the button. I did not want to pay more for delivery than the book cost. I will think twice before ordering from Amazon again. 		  
  







  
  
Ghost Train to the Eastern Star: On the Tracks of the Great Railway Bazaar2 reviews
Paul Theroux

Houghton Mifflin, 2008

Theroux hits his note again
Paul Theroux delivers in Ghost Train to the Eastern Star what the Theroux fan expects: entertaining travelogue laced with acerbic wit, cultural context and social commentary. And, it maintains Theroux's high literary standard; keep a dictionary by your side. The "plot," if one could call it that, is to retrace his steps of 30 years before, when he wrote The Great Railway Bizarre. But, just as ... 		  
  







  
  
The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder160 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

Vanguard Press, 2008

The book demonstrates courage
Bugliosi has a precise and orderly mind. He gives relentless example after example of intentional lies, obstruction, and hiding that has resulted in so many deaths. This book is a good reminder of how numb we have become listening to our politicians sidestep issues, lie, and cheat, with full impunity and immunity, because putting Bush's Iraq was history in a legal framework with logic and ... 		  
  







  
  
The Revolution: A Manifesto630 reviews
Ron Paul

Grand Central Publishing, 2008

Deserves 10 Stars
Agree or disagree, The Revolution should be required reading for every American. Like the proverbial frog in the frying pan, I fear most Americans no longer even know what it means to be American. I didn't, and this book was a real eye-opener. I didn't vote for Ron Paul, but I wish I had. 		  
  







  
  
The Post-American World107 reviews
Fareed Zakaria

W. W. Norton, 2008

excellent, poignant, and prescient
This book should be required reading for us all. It brings together the thoughts of many of the great minds to illustrate the needs, opportunities, and challenges facing America in a world which it can no longer dominate, ignore, or control.

Easy Spanish Phrase Book: Over 770 Basic Phrases for Everyday Use (Dover Easy Phrase)110 reviews

Dover Publications, 1994

A Handy Little Book!
For the price, you get a lot of bang for your couple of bucks. Although this little book doesn't cover much material or grammar rules, you can use the ready-made phrases to make more phrases as you increase your Spanish vocabulary. This along with a Spanish/English dictionary helped me pass my introductory Spanish class when I had to write sentences in Spanish for homework. Some other reviewers ...

Merriam-Webster's Spanish-English Dictionary47 reviews

Merriam-Webster, 2002

For Spanish Language Dictionary
Great little pocket dictionary for those who don't want to carry around a heavier full-sized eng/span diction. It's not 'quite' as complete, but it's about 99% there. It's going to have all of the important words

Institutional life tends to be romanticized. Ms. Bratt's book, her experience at one of China's Social Welfare Instututes(orphanages), gives us a window into what many of these institutions may be like.

Practice Makes Perfect: Spanish Verb Tenses123 reviews
Dorothy Richmond

McGraw-Hill, 1996

Basics and beyond
Advancing within my present employment requires Spanish fluency. To achieve bi-lingual certification, I purchased various Spanish software programs. My progress remained slow. I began to believe that I had no hope of ever going beyond understanding a word or two from each sentence, and hoping I could manage something that made sense in reply. Conjugating verbs was my greatest obstacle until I ...

Descent into Chaos: The United States and the Failure of Nation Building in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and ...6 reviews
Ahmed Rashid

Viking Adult, 2008

A deeply troubling book
Ahmed Rashid has long been a leading expert on Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Muslim states of Central Asia that were once part of the Soviet Union. In 2000, the year before 9/11, he published 'Taliban', a book which politicians rushed to read after the attack on the Twin Towers; and if Central Asia catches fire, they will doubtlessly rush to his following book, 'Jihad', first published in ... 		  
  







  
  
Churchill, Hitler, and "The Unnecessary War": How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World83 reviews
Patrick J. Buchanan

Crown, 2008

Brilliant Military/Political History
Pat Buchanan's masterwork: CHURCHILL, HITLER AND THE UNNECESSARY WAR is one of the two finest works I have ever read on the 1910-1945 pre-war and wartime period. I have read and studied this period and the related histories of the US, Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Austro-Hungary, and felt comfortable in what I "knew" even though I had suspicions of much else. Mr. Buchanan's magnificently ...

Rick Steves' Italy 2008 (Rick Steves)18 reviews
Rick Steves

Avalon Travel Publishing, 2007

This will save you time and Money!!!
Dude, get the book. It saved us a ton of time in picking up our tix at the Palatine hills rather than at the Coliseum. It also got us to St. Peter's at 1pm with a 30 min wait, rather than do what everyone else does which is to arrive at 9am and have a 3 hour wait. The tips alone is certainly worth worth every penny. Let's not forget the key things to see in his book and the slight bit of ...
